    I imagine it's only a matter of time before Pixar/Dreamworks make a war movie out of all the delightful pieces of dastardly office-death available these days.

    Side note: Anyone else just a little surprised the army men from Toy Story didn't get a spin-off?

    @OCEntertainment: I think the Toy Story franchise pretty much covers this. If it's done by Dreamworks, no doubt it'll have a slew of higher-profile (under or overutilized) celebrity voices, and not much else (with the exception of Kung Fu Panda for being awesome in its awesomeness).

    I'm not sure how much intrigue there could possibly be in the Toy Story army men. In either case, I hope that the 3rd flick is the last. I can't see it getting any better after that.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Oh, frankly, I would've been fine with just the first Toy Story. Not that the second was bad. But Pixar does well with single movies, and sequels are almost always bad. I don't want to see them make sequels unless they *want* to.

    That being said, the fact that Disney didn't squeeze the franchise for all it's worth was a little surprising. A pleasant one, but a surprise nonetheless.

    In any case, Dreamworks *does* need to make a toy movie out of violent office toys. It'll suck, but dangit, I want to see my wildest, most violent, most gory toys-versus-average-joe fantasies played out on the big-....

    Wait. Nevermind. *goes to watch Small Soldiers*

    Ack Small Soldiers. I wanted Chip Hazard to tear the Gorgons in two.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Oh, yes. Small Soldiers is average at best. But you gotta admit it's worth it to see a young Gregory Smith/Kirsten Dunst get attacked and terrified by plastic toys 1/8th their size.

    @met2art: Yeah. That was TOTALLY unrealistic. However, using one of those electro-touchy-discs to duplicate military-grade artificial intelligence microchips? I've never seen such realism.

    Mr. President, we can not let ourselves fall behind in the pen-holder race. The very concept of a scotch tape gap is frightening to the continued survival of our great nation. I demand immediate work on developing a superior, US-themed pen holder/rocket launcher.

    It's an awesome concept.
    Not only is the passage of time shown, but it further connects us by imposing the landscape of the home where all this is "unfolding" once in a while, kepping us connected on a couple of levels.

    Both are well done.

    Brilliant bits of filmmaking, both. Clearly the Olympus ad is highly derivative right from the opening shot, though to be fair after that they really just mimicked the technique without copying the film. It's an ethical lapse on par with, say, some of the stuff that Sony has done in the past, and Olympus should still have credited the technique more directly (assuming that the "japanese fellow" was the originator of that technique).

    I'm no expert on the Kindle. But let me get this straight, you pay $300 for this thing and it DOESN'T have a backlight? WHAT. THE. F%$K???


    Seriously, this is amazing to me. Then again, this is why I still just use my Blackjack II to read ebooks. it's small, fits in my pocket, has a back light, a scroll wheel, LOTS of memory. And doesn't need a fancy 3 (Three????) battery LED light just so I can see at night or in a dark room.

    I have a reader, and though I was a bit annoyed at no light attachment at first, I cam to like it, as it has never irritated my eyes or caused a headache.

    I use an M-Edge Prodigy case, which has a slot for a light that you can get for it. I don't have the light, but the case design is nice either way.

    @SJRNWT: I can't even say I've ever seen a post by him, let alone hold an opinion of someone being a troll. Looking at the linked profile I've seen far more useless comments out of a good deal more posters here than that.


    But then again, it seems half the time I post something lately people yell "Troll!"... Which kind of has me thinking that people are feeling overly butthurt and are throwing around the term far more often than it should be.

    @NoO&A_GitEmSteveDave: yes, I have this robot holder and your razor should fit fine. The arms are not locked in though so the weight of the razor might make the arm flop down but it should still hold.


    It might weigh down the suction cup on the back though
