More strong opinions about trivial things...

*Off The Wall was better than Thriller.

*I don't like Rick Dees.

*I cannot stand the misuse of the apostrophe.

*Sometimes Angel was better than Buffy.

*Although I like the idea of writing with an ol d-fashioned wood pencil, I must admit that I prefer mechanical pencils over wood. Also, 0.5 mm pencil lead is a must.

*Peanut M&Ms are the best.

*If Coca-Cola marketed a less sweet version (not diet, just low sugar), I would buy that product.

*In order of awesomeness, the Star Trek movies may be ranked as follows:
1. Star Trek 2 (Wrath of Khan)
2. Star Trek 8 (First Contact)
3. Star Trek 6 (Undiscovered Country)
4. Star Trek 4 (Let's All Save Some Whales)
5. Star Trek 3 (Spock Goes Through Puberty)
6. Star Trek 7 (Yawn. Oh, We Crashed The Ship. Yawn)
7. Star Trek 1 (Alternative Cure For Insomnia)
8. Star Trek 9 (Insurrection? Did I See That One? Then Why Don't I Remember It?)
9. Star Trek 10 (Lame Lame Lame Lame-Ass, But At Least No Songs Around A Campfire)
10. Star Trek 5 (Oh Ah Must Look Away Eyes Burning)

Strong opinions about subjects that don't really merit strong opinions...

You know, I may have not have an opinion as of yet reducing whether nuclear power is a smart solution for reducing our nation's dependency on petroleum, but I do have some unusually strong opinions about the following extremely trivial subjects. You'll note that many of these have to do with stupid TV shoes from the 70s and 80s. I am not ashamed, although maybe I ought to be:

*The first season of The Facts of Life, the one with a larger group of girls, the one with a roller-skating Tootie,the one with Molly Ringwald, was the best season of the show.

*I love Batman Begins, and I am certain that I will greatly enjoy The Dark Knight as well, but I still have a big, gooey soft spot for Batman Begins. My affection for that movie, flawed and overstuffed though it may be, probably has quite a lot to do with Michelle Pfeiffer.

*Vin Diesel has been in a bunch of terrible movies, but he was also the voice of the Iron Giant, so he gets a pass. I'll not speak ill of him, even if Babylon AD is as awful as it totally looks like it's gonna be.

*I can think of other actors and performers who get a pass. I should make a list of them.

*Star Trek Deep Space 9 is the best version of Star Trek on television (note, I said on TV), but only the 3rd best sci-fi show ever to air on TV.

*I won't say what are the top 2 sci-fi shows ever to be aired, though I will say that Babylon 5 is not one of them. Da-shiang bao-tza shr duh lah doo-tze!
