Apr. 4th, 2009 12:03 amHere are the things I am willing to confess to having done today:
- 05:10 @tombrazelton I gather that Knowing is half the battle. #
- 05:13 @Pogue You can't really blame the mag for "an historic". It's a widely-used convention. Think it comes from Britons dropping the "h". #
- 05:37 This is weird. I've somehow lost a page of emoji. The page with the angel and policeman and big-hatted palace guard. It's just missing. #
- 06:08 @Hadrien I never metadata I didn't like. #
- 10:10 @lostchild06 Just FYI, proper grammar would be "We fans," not "Us fans". #
- 12:41 twitpic.com/2rrdr - Dad's new grandfather clock #
- 14:01 I still don't get this whole @tweepared thing. "Get prepared. Make a kit." A kit for what? In case you should be unable to twitter? #sgf #
- 15:05 2 new comments today on "TeleRead" and more bit.ly/sCnf #
- 16:21 @bamfbamf Oh, well done! Calling him a "racist douche bag" is just the way to increase protester credibility with @ledoctor. (@jedifreac) #
- 16:28 @Shortpacked Well, Christians want to have fun too. #
- 16:28 @alienated Be careful--his bow tie is really a camera. #
- 16:29 @alienated (heh heh, I bet EVERYBODY replies with that line.) #
- 16:30 @bamfbamf You shouldn't call him anything at all. It casts a bad light on all the other protesters. @jedifreac #
- 16:33 @thepeopleseason I don't think there's anything he can say that will satisfy most of the people doing the protesting. #
- 16:34 @thepeopleseason Short of recasting all the white roles Asian, nothing will please them...and I doubt the movie people would ever do that. #
- 17:15 @avatard67 How do you know it sucks? You haven't seen it yet. Feh. I should stop reading these Twitters, it's only going to depress me. #
- 17:29 @LeDoctor Tnx for response. It probably won't please the complainers, though. #
- 17:30 @LeDoctor Complainers want movie to represent TV series ethnicity as closely as possible. #
- 17:34 @Rotae They're making the Airbender movie more ethnically diverse. Prolly 'cuz ethnic diversity is more politically correct. #
- 17:36 @Rotae And, the cynic in me thinks, they're probably afraid that non-Asians won't turn out to watch an all-Asian Airbender movie. #
- 18:34 @manolooliveras They've already settled on their "multi-ethnic" vision. The Airbender movie will not directly adapt the tv show. #
- 19:40 @abouttoexplode You may have missed it, he already did earlier this evening. #
- 19:41 @HenryMelton Coolness! (I bet geocaching makes it into your next novel. :) #
- 21:26 Here's my take on @ledoctor's response about the #airbender casting controversy today: bit.ly/1B4WNd #
- 21:38 @Rotae The problem is they have to appeal beyond the showfen. $250 mil = a lot of movie tickets just to break even. #airbender #
- 21:39 @mmunknownfilms blowfish sushi? #
- 22:25 @jedifreac I expect that if there are any other responses, they'll say essentially the same thing. It smells like an official line to me. #
- 22:26 @HenryMelton But I meant specifically *geocaching* showing up. I don't seem to recall any of your characters doing it. #
- 22:28 @lostchild06 Inuits. Intuits are the people who make TurboTax. #
- 22:29 @HenryMelton I don't have a GPS gadget. Maybe if I get an iPhone someday instead of my iPod Touch... #
- 23:00 @Rotae You know that and I know that, but the producers of Avatar don't seem to be willing to take that risk. #
- 23:40 @sinatran you seem to have missed that be actually DID address it today. #
