Last I heard, the Mexican breadmaker Bimbo Bread has the strongest chance at getting the Hostess name.

It declared bankruptcy a couple of times before, once in 2004 and, if I'm not mistaken, once again in 2009.

In The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader does not seem to recognize C-3PO, despite creating him in The Phantom Menace. No. Anakin created C-3PO in Episode I. In Episode III, Anakin died when Darth Vader first woke up on the operating table. At least that's how I see it. As for me, I'm not much of a ...

ECTO-MAGNET From the desk of Prof. Kubota: Our newest recruit, Hiromu, has found the Nutrona Wand irresistible.

I personally am not impressed with ANY of the current lineup though if I had to choose, I'd go with Romney. Why? Because I personally did not like how Obama lead our land.

But for Lord of the Rings there is a lot of stuff that bugs me. I bet everyone knows the criticism the film gets, like how they mispronounce ''Saruman'' for ''Aruman'' and how the film abruptly stops in the middle of the story, not mention, many weird stuff, AND the fact that the film should've bee...

Samantha Mathis (Daisy) was most recently (to my knowledge) in a Mitch Albom movie, For One More Day . Fiona Shaw (Lena) was in a 2011/2012 movie whose title unfortunately escapes me at the moment (saw her name in a Chicago Tribune article about the movie, thought "Ooh, I'd better remember that...

I'm not even a fan of TMNT but i hear of all the changes being mad thanks to bay and it sounds awful.

True, but doesn't the movie's structure itself owe quite a bit to the first Christopher Reeve Superman movie? Should've made that a bit clearer.

I'm wavering a bit on some of the story concepts. Had an idea the other day that Prof. Kubota's wife of many years died a while previous to the forming of GB.jp, and from his grief he started looking into what happens after we die. He started out just wanting to know that she was happy wherever she ...

I found it more Hijacked by Superman, but I still liked it. I was more than a little bit shocked, when it first came out, to learn that the characters were designed by Gerald Scarfe, the cartoonist whose cover art for The Wall gave me nightmares for years. And don't get me wrong: the fight against t...

That's pretty cool. Pool games are something I don't experience that often but I should give that one a shot if I ever see it for cheap. Trust me, I think it was a fluke. It could very well be a rare one. Bought three other games last Sunday: Goldeneye Rogue Agent , Spider-Man 2 , and Star Wars Reb...

Ah, but, the general public expects them to call themselves "The Segale Brothers." I know you're saying this in jest, but the general public doesn't know or care the significance of naming them "Segale." I was trying to say that everyone would expect them to follow the usual nam...

It's not a matter of respect, it's a matter of logistics. If there are two brothers running a business, whether it's plumbing or saving princesses, and their last name is "Mario" or "Segale," the last name is what they call themselves. If their last name is "Segale" th...

Just bought a game called Pool Paradise at the flea market last Sunday. It's a billiards-themed game, and it's quite fun if a little on the hard side. Still, I'm like, "Finally! A pool game with decent physics!" Highly recommended.

This is Megumi's ghost-sniffer. Not entirely logical right now, but I'm working on it.

I had to look it up. "Dinosaur Train" is an animated childrens' series. Odd mass guessing. I did say WILD mass guessing! That right there is pretty wild, don't you think? :mrgreen: Still, though, you have to admit that it does fit in as a kind of "before things went horribly wrong&qu...

Here's a wild mass guess I had this morning. "Dinosaur Train" takes place in Dinohattan's past OK, so...it was better in my head this morning than it'll be right now. "Dinosaur Train" takes place a long time after the dimensions merged, but a long time before dinosaurs started to...

You know, it's funny. I always saw Chargin' Chuck as a 'bloodsport' athlete in the movie's universe, kind of like in that book "Killerbowl." That statement just shows what a rich backstory Dinohattan could have had, and what a shame it is that none of it was explored in detail. In order t...

I used to really like MIB back in 97 or whenever the first one came out. I actually saw it twice I believe in theaters.

I do remember getting through the first Sonic the Hedgehog in one go. Several times.

It's a whole story unto itself! Mario says his family goes back a few generations, right? Well, it's not hard to guess that every generation has had its own iteration of the "Mario Brothers" causing trouble in Dinohattan. After two or three attempts, King Koopa learns his lesson and instal...

That sounds even better-- fits the Dinohattan aesthetic, to be sure. Oh, and the red eyes should be reptilian. To be fair, though, I'm not sure if Dennis Hopper would have been able to stand the contact lenses. Brent Spiner had a lot of trouble with his Data contacts, and, judging from the state th...

John Belushi may have died, but he never really left "Ghostbusters." He's still there in the form of the Green Onionhead.

I think that would have gone a long way towards making him more like the game's look, but without going full-on demon turtle king. In Koopa's case, I say the less, the merrier. On a big ol' dinosaur thing, spiked bracelets look awesome, but on a human they (and red contacts) just look like stuff fr...
