Comment is free: Simon Jenkins: I'm an atheist but still I resent this joker in Rome slighting my community. A residual theological chauvinism is aroused.

Gabe: 0:05  The shit about Ian and Matt. Basically Matt made some comments at work about shooting people in the face and he got fired. Then he referenced the incedent in his journal comic and the cops showed up at his house.

By Jonathan Romney  The curious hybrid The Wild Blue Yonder is described in its opening titles as "A Science Fiction Fantasy by Werner Herzog". At first sight, this prospect seems as improbable as a high-school comedy by Michael Haneke, or James Ivory directing the next episode of Saw.

Dear Ron Paul, MD,                           11/20/2007  It is a real honor to be able to write to you today, Dr. Paul. First, I want to assure you that it is with all due respect that I ask you the following question(s). So here goes: given that you believe in a Christian interpretation of the Constitution, have the support of the Christian right for your pro-life stance, are being called "the Zionist choice for president" by Israelis, and even have the Stormfront skinheads on your side, I have to ask: why do you hate America so much?

Tycho:  You might want to see this, or you might not:  I know that Gabriel has sworn off all exposure to the game, which may also be your policy.  Even so, this is the first time they've shown the distaff side of the character creator, so maybe you'll rescind your earlier mandate.  A video with a similar theme popped up over at 1up as well, and it does things a little differently:  I don't like its look at the character creator as well, but the cut they have of the intro is far superior.  If you watched the other one, you're in for a penny, in for a pound:  you should check it out.    There's a lot of other content out today as well  at GameTrailers - but the whole thing is a minefield of spoilers so I'll understand if you hold back.  The intro itself (from the 1up cut) is perfectly executed.  Understand that I am almost the optimal audience for this sort of game, but even so.  I see a lot of game content, and you need to dig pretty deep to generate actual wonder.      I was excited to learn that they got Jack Wall in to do the soundtrack - he's worked with BioWare before, but he also did the soundtrack for Myst IV: Revelations - one of my all-time favorites.

One film has an oblique ending that's left some viewers dissatisfied and others floored by its profundity. The other features a slowly developing plot and a brutal, operatically violent finale.

Tycho:  It wasn't until the strip was completed that I realized we had written two comic strips at the same time.  Gabriel thought this comic was literal, and I thought it was about miscommunication. At least, I hoped it was. This is a fantasy to which I still cling.

Beware films with protagonists depicted as vastly more sensitive than their fellow characters. The result may be a crock like âCashback.â

For many of Ukraine&#39;s 100,000 Jews, Sunday&#39;s presidential revote poses a difficult choice: a Western-leaning opposition leader with past links to people with anti-Semitic views or a prime minister who favours heavy-handed Soviet-style
