It may be a bit early to start announcing “Best of 2009” lists, but Darwyn Cooke’s ‘Parker: The Hunter’, ‘Asterios Polyp’ and ’Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe’ made the list. All quality books.

My name is Dan.
I'm kind of a nerd. I'm 26, and I live in North Carolina.
It's OK. Hopefully soon I'll be living in California. Until then I'm
stuck in the South. This is my blog.
This this where I write about stuff.
Sometimes it's funny, some times... not so much.
Every now and then I post a picture or two.
Enjoy.

Many people who recently watched ‘Paranormal Activity’ might not know this, but the theatrical cut of the film actually featured a very different ending than the original cut of the film had. Some might say it’s a more “Hollywood style” ending.
As much as I enjoyed the ending of the theatrical cut, I after reading this article, I’m dying to see the film’s original ending, because it sounds incredible.
Fresh new link.
Enjoy.
If you want to be shocked, appalled and fascinated by what real life mad scientists are up to, you really should read this.
“Microsoft’s Xbox 360 will not be the only gaming platform with the ability to stream movies from Netflix platform for long. After a long period of speculation, the streaming Netflix option will be coming to Sony’s PlayStation3 in November.
The press release says only ‘next month’, so we don’t yet know the official launch date for the service. When it does go live, Netflix subscribers who have at least the $8.99 per month plan will be able to stream movies to the PS3.
Microsoft was touting Netflix exclusivity as recently as August of this year, but Netflix must see the business advantage of expanding to other consoles. Just last week the company reported that their subscriber base had expanded to 11.1 million users, with many recent users gathered thanks to the streaming Watch Instantly service accessed via computers and the 360. With nine million PS3s out there, a significant number of additional users may subscribe to Netflix starting next month when the system rolls out. (Netflix says it expects up to 12.3m users by the end of the year.)
Initial implementation of the Netflix service won’t be quite ideal: you’ll have to get a freeBlu-ray disc mailed from Netflix, then use that in the console to access the service. That’s said to be a short-term solution, pending a PS3 software update that will integrate Netflix. But that update won’t happen until next year. Sony just released PS3 system software 3.0 in September.(Request a disc for the service here: http://www.netflix.com/InstantStreamingDisc)
When the service launches next month, users will be able to browse the Netflix catalogue and add streaming titles to their queue directly from the PS3. Xbox 360 users only got that option late this summer, after a year of being able to browse only their instant queue on the 360.”

Streaming Netflix on The PS3 is great news since my Xbox360 tends to get sick and red-ring every now and then. It’s going to be nice having the streaming Netflix option on both consoles.
“Benjamin Bratt has signed on to reprise his role as Det. Rey Curtis on Law & Order, sources confirm to me exclusively.
Bratt, who vacated the mothership a decade ago, will shoot his one-episode comeback next month.” (via:EW)
While I’m typically only a fan of ‘Law & Order: SVU’, I was a big fan of Benjamin Bratt’s portrayal of Det. Rey Curtis, which means I sure as hell won’t miss this episode. Shame it’s only one episode, if they got him to return to the show I’d give ‘Law & Order: Classic’ another try.
For anyone on the fence about buying ‘Transformers 2’ on blu-ray, particularly the Wal-Mart “Big Screen Edition”, this is a very in-depth review of the disc. Even with its inherent story problems, ‘Transformers 2’ looks like it might just be one of the best looking blu-ray discs on the market.
I can not wait to download this and give it a try.
