I like comic book movies. I don't expect it to have a deep story or be anything thought provoking. I just want to sit back and enjoy. Unfortunately, this billion dollar movie will not be coming out in Japan until August. That's a long wait. It'll probably be released on Blu-ray in the U.S. before coming to Japan. Which sucks.

This is the third story in about a month involving children and trucks in some sort of accident in China that I've read about.

He said: "Rehearsing is for fags." I don't think that Brett Ratner is anti-gay. He did mention that he admired and respected Ian Mckellen for his talent and activism when they made the X-men movie. But, he does seem to have an offensive personality. And his movies are not too good. I hate smoking, but I would rather light up a thousand fags, than watch another one of his movies.

Do families of people who commit suicide by train really have to pay for the train delay? I've never heard anything about this, but I guess anything is possible... I've heard of cases where families of missing persons have to pay for the search and rescue costs.

I remember there were some articles awhile back that suggested the Chinese government (or local city governments in China) were involved in baby trafficking.
Western couples who were unable to have babies of their own naturally, tended to adopt babies from abroad. Adoption agencies in China made a lot of money because of this. I'm not sure how involved the Chinese government was regarding these international adoptions.

The last Korean wave with those people from Winter Sonata and BOA lasted quite a few years. I'm kinda hoping, this time, this wave breaks early.

So... say a 15 pound baby blue fin is caught and raised in a farm. It grows to 100 pounds in the farm. So the report is stating that this is where the gap comes from?

I remember when there was that scare over poisonous Chinese rice and for a while after that most stores stopped selling rice from China. Then after, about half a year I guess, it slowly came back into the stores. Now, it's hard to find any Chinese rice, even though it's now the Japanese rice that is poisonous. Anyways, I miss Chinese rice.
