By the way, I was amazed by the glowing reviews from Auz and dvd. I'm gonna have to use it as ammo to get my wife to go see it with me.

No, I'm not kidding. I fucking hate that font.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--> How the hell did you even find out that there's subtitles in Papyrus font?

Yes, Papyrus sucks. It's in the same league as Comic Sans.

Nice...

Holy fuck. My resume is typed out in comic sans. Is this why I can't get a job? I just figured it was pretty simple, and not too fancy looking. Now I feel dirty.

If you want a sans serif face, I'm a big fan of Helvetica, Univers, or Frutiger. They're all pretty "standard" and simple, but also great fonts. I'm not a huge fan of Times New Roman.

That blurb was from Wikipedia, BTW. And I also hate Times New Roman. Why that became the default in Word is beyond me. Ariel or Courier would have been better, safer picks IMO.

Steer clear of Trajan. It's on it's way to being a punchline too.

Arial is really a display face that was designed for web design. I wouldn't use it for a printed resume. And Courier is a monospace typeface -- which means that the same amount of space exists between each letter when printed. I wouldn't use Courier, either. It looks odd, especially when there is a lot of copy. It's designed to mimic an old typewriter.

I saw this last night. Anyone who sees it must check out the 3D version. The movie kicked ass. Visually, it was the most fun I've had since I saw Jurassic Park in theaters when I was younger. The story is a bit thin and is the same story that has been told for 2000 years, but Cameron's update of it actually refreshes it quite a bit. Just because the story is familiar doesn't make the movie worse, IMO. But wow...this was like eating skittles on ecstasy. And it didn't overload the senses so much that it detracted from the film. If you don't see this you are missing out.
If Angelo had picked McClellin, I would have been expecting to hear by training camp that kid has stage 4 cancer, is actually 5'2" 142 lbs, is a chick who played in a 7 - 0 defensive scheme who only rotated in on downs which were 3 and 34 yds + so is not expecting to play a down in the NFL until the sex change is complete and she puts on another 100 lbs. + but this is Emery's first pick so he'll get a pass with a bit of questioning. - 1060Ivy
