Petrol is like 2 US dollars per litre overhere. There's simply very few people who don't mind burning money like there's no tomorrow. Sales of big engined cars have taken a nosedive since 2008, especially when A and B (green)
labeled cars started coming with tax advantages.

What a journey.
I tell all my gas-hog friends (just joking) that it will be very hard for me to buy a car that gets less than 50 mpg; should I ever be in a position to need/want to replace mine.

Thanks for that link. I've expected to see that coming for a while and I'm glad to see the first blips show up on the radar.

I am surprised some porn distributor doesn't offer a netflix-style streaming service available on Roku, etc, along with an online only web channel. Then again, maybe it exists and I just don't look at enough porn these days.

Wow, was Louderback actually cataloging how he helped sink PC Mag and ZDTV? Amongst other outlets he didn't mention... .
Stop me before my gall rises any higher... .

A gangster double-feature on Friday night: Little Caesar (Edward G. Robinson) and Public Enemy (James Cagney). There were numerous homages to and parodies of these films and actors during the second half of the 20th century, so of course I was aware of them, but I'd never seen either film or, indeed, either actor (okay, I saw Cagney in his 80s in Ragtime, but that hardly counts). But I really enjoyed the films, especially Public Enemy. Cagney was a force of nature, and even though almost all of the violence is off-screen, it's just brutal. Whoa.

I had never heard of Quark before JW posted about it the other day. I added it to my Netflix queue and have been enjoying it immensely since the disc arrived a few days ago.

I've been missing it since 1978. I watched the whole series today. It's... odd. One forgets the astonishingly low production values, since at the time they were more-or-less normal for a secondary sit-com. And I was amazed at how many of the set ups and punchlines I remembered. It was more like meeting an old high school friend than meeting the love of one's life, but it was still good.

I showed it to Madaracs yesterday. His first reaction was, "all of the sounds are from Star Trek."
Which is true. Every sound effect is lifted directly from the Star Trek series.

Remember at that time Star Trek existed only in re-runs in unpopular time slots. Star Wars had just clued the executroids into the fact that there was serious money in science fiction/space opera. At the same time Quark came out, Star Trek: the Motion Picture was in production, the original Battlestar Galactica would come out the next year, and the Buck Rogers TV SHow and Flash Gordon movie the year after that. Star Trek TOS and Star Wars (it wasn't IV or A New Hope in those days) were the only sources most viewers would have been familiar with. Though Quark did some nice Flash Gordon humor, too.

Did Glenn Glenn Studios do the sound for that series? Or Desilu studios produced it? Could just have been a cost-saving thing ("hey, we have these leftover science fictiony sounds left over from some canceled series already...").

Oh that's all well and good but what is this "internet" thing they speak of?

Ahh the good old days. And now, I will Quark.

I finally watched Firefly last summer and loved it. I've been putting off watching Serenity simply because I don't want to be done.

Serenity is so well done. I highly recommend it. You will love it and you may hate parts of it--but overall you'll love it. The best thing to do when you watch Serenity is immediately follow it up by watching Firefly again.

And then watch Firefly again. And then watch Serenity again. And then... well, you get the point.
