Just a couple of notes on some of these items:

1. Excellent! After the slightly empty ending of the sequel movie, and the manga still serialized in Shonen Gangan, a new series looks like the way to go. The OVA 'Kids' hinted that Ed never made it back home, but it doesn't mean they can't alter the story in any way.

2. Interesting choice. Although I wonder how she's going to fit in with Nolan's realism image. Plus she's pretty old : S

6. Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit!! What a shit load of firk! I loved Superman Returns, far better film than Batman Begins in my opinion. I was astounded at the poor box office, and I blame that at the youth of today taking no interest in Superman. SR was everything a classic Superhero movie should have, but it seems todays moviegoers want more of a Nolan style superhero which takes all of the 'Super' out of the word. Lame.

7. I'm pretty sure that's very old. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind that some of the news in here is at least a week or two old, but Death Note: The Last Name was screened ages ago, with an added dub track provided by the English voice actors from the anime. Are you sure it's not L: Change the World?

8. Lay Michael to rest already. I was incredibly disapointed with Rob Zombie's remake, it had a lot of potential, but fell short. People need to realize the slasher genre is dead. It's the age of torture porn now. Yay?

12. Pretty cool, though I hope they bring something unexpected to the new title. Halo vs Alien vs Predator? In my dreams...

13. Money money money money...

14. And when's Superman shit bomb coming out?

A few notes about your notes. Pretty sure the Catwoman thing will never happen in a million years. Just thought it was a funny rumor that I might as well post. Agreed with Superman. I thought superman returns was great. The reboot has been said to be "as dark as the character will allow". No release date yet. And according to Wikipedia, Death Note: The Last Door will be released on October 15th, 2008 in US theaters. The first movie was released in May. Maybe that's what you were thinking of?

Personally if they make a new Full Metal Alchemist series I am hoping for one that follows the plot of the manga as the manga has a much better plot then the anime in my opinion.

Thoughts

Time for my thoughts.

1) Hell to the yes. FMA is my favorite anime, and whether this show follows the manga or continues the anime, I will be happy.
2) Doubt it, but would be funny to see.
3) Who the hell cares? Would be a waste of money.
4) Deathstroke is a great choice, as well as Raiden.
5) I lost interest in American Idol a long time ago.
6) Too soon as well as disappointing. I wish they had made at least one sequel to Superman Returns and then made a reboot if they must.
7) I'm slowly going through the manga, so I won't be seeing this quite yet.
smilies/cool.gif I fucking love Robot Chicken. I will be watching.
9) Alien Hominid is a great game. This looks even better.
10) Halloween is my favorite horror franchise. That said, unless they do something very different, it doesn't interest me.
11) Hated season 2. Won't be picking it up.
12) Halo is very overrated. Would have to be innovative for me to take interest.
13) Meh.
14) That bitch again? Oh well.
15) Makes sense. I'm surprised they didn't set it to come out a year earlier after the profit the second made.

Look for a second issue to possibly be put up tomorrow.
