Oh god, that may be the best site ever. They’ve got ten reasons why Geeks make the best dates, including:

Geeks haven’t formed bad relationship habits. After years of dating other people, the socially successful have become too confident to be intimate, think of partners as being only for their self-gratification, and focus on making themselves happy. None of this is true of a geek. The lack of past romantic partners allows the geek to approach lovers with the zest of a neophyte. Geeks are not full of romantic confidence. However, once encouraged, they are eager to please and enjoy their relationship.

Can I just say that there is a Google Ad at the top of your blog for a “dating site for comic fans”. Dear me, the humour possibilities on that one are endless.

It’s a pity Alex didn’t leave a link to his blog, because I’d like to see the post where he predicted that this would happen.

Just wondering: is a “special” understanding similar to special needs?

Could be worse. You could be sheeple.

That’s right, Alex. I was too stupid to understand it.

Hey, Gary, you’re a mass.

Didn’t we know this was going to happen (people walking out)? I figured they would, The Watchmen is more a piece of art that takes a special understanding. This is not a garbage in garbage out movie and neither was the graphic novel. I’m not surprised that the masses walked out on it.

I thought that Spielberg tried, but didn’t quite manage, to round off the hardest edges of the Kubrick nastiness, and the result was a strange movie that wasn’t quite one thing or the other. Jude Law’s performance was pretty laughable, but Haley Joel Osment’s was if anything even creepier than that in The Sixth Sense: as Heather says, deeply disturbing stuff. Not subtle.

I thought it contained lots of great individual bits which didn’t quite add up to a good whole.

Is it good? I’ve got the DVD somewhere but never got round to watching it.

Don’t watch A.I. if you want to sleep at night for at least a month. It causes some really harrowing stuff in the subconscious.
