If you haven't seen Serenity yet, go see it before you have to wait for it on DVD - then you can come over to my house and we'll watch it on my projector. That is, if Sandy doesn't kill you first. Its the best sci-fi movie to come out in a long time and you don't have to know much about the television show that it is based on to get hooked by the characters and story. What? You haven't heard of Serenity? Maybe its because Universal hardly marketed it.

If Universal had competent people behind the marketing and publicity of this film, this movie would have had a much stronger opening at the box office and would not be content with the hopes of breaking even.

Prince of Persia was one of the first games that I was addicted to after I got my first PC ( a 386 ). It was a great combination of tough puzzles, beautiful animation, and an engrossing story. I haven't played the new version that came out over the last two years, I'm kind of waiting for my sister to finish it so I can borrow her copy.

You can relive all the fun, or see what the fuss was about, now that its available as a flash game. Found via digg.

Both DCenters and Maradawga are rightly criticizing DC United Coach Piotr Nowak for helping to blow the current Adu controversy out of proportion. If you're not up to speed, Freddy was suspended by the coach for Friday's playoff game because he didn't apologize to the team for his earlier comments about playing time.

Its disheartening to see Nowak focusing on getting Freddy to admit he was wrong, instead of getting past it and preparing for the home leg against the Fire. For someone who's always talking about the team, how the players are professionals, how "we've got to play our game", why can't he put his ego aside and do his job? Chicago completely frustrated United's midfield and disrupted our game. Just being at home on Sunday isn't going to fix that.

Nowak is more concerned about reinforcing his position as the coach and all-around-guy-in-charge. He should be dealing with Adu's comments as those of a frustrated, and competitive teenager who spoke his mind to reporter.

I'm not saying Freddy is completely blameless, as I think the adults around him are probably stroking his ego and elevating his expectations for playing time, and his importance to United.
