Warning! Beware of imitators! There are fakes out there!
When you start collecting anime figures, you just want to buy everything you see which is hard because you can only get them from overseas. So you search. You can get the more renowned figures from Amazon.com or other specialty retailers such as KidNemo.com or BigBadToyStore.com. One of the more dangerous places to get them from is ebay. Most of the time they’re from some Hong Kong dude. And (I’m just conjecturing) they may be selling you a fake copy. That’s fine if you want to save money, but the build quality is even less perfect.
Today’s site directs you to Good Smile Company’s informational page on spotting the phony. It’s of Mikuru-chan. I only highlight it today, because I recently got that Mikuru Asahina nendoroid (she’s so kawaii! >.< ) and I hope its real. Oh, I may have a phony in my toy collection.

The weather’s here. Wish you were beautiful.
The seed and the rest of the gang are out there in paradise and enjoying life. Partying and having fun. While I’m here, thinking things through. You probably saw the seed’s series of posts taunting us. Here’s to him. That funny guy.

This is gotta be the best usage of the internet so far. I’ll let the name speak for itself.
Tropic Thunder
Tropic Thunder is being described by other reviewers as a satire on Hollywood. It is that, but funny. Ben Stiller directs another scathing movie just like The Cable Guy.
I liked it. Once again funny. Especially, Tom Cruise doing his Kruschev impression, “I will bury you!!!!” Hilarious. As well as Matthew McConaughey and his adopted son. Hilarious. Danny McBride and his bombastic pyro guy. Nick Nolte as Four Leaf. And that young asian warlord. Funny. Booty sweat.
4 of 5 stars.
The Olympic Cyclist
Follow one of the US cyclists as he journeys around Beijing on a bike.
The most poignant moment is at the end as he mentions that you, on your bike, with several hundred people, must socialize and interact to make the flow of people perfect. Must be fun to ride to work.

“What’s this day of rest shit? What’s this bullshit? I don’t fuckin’ care! It don’t matter to Jesus.
But you’re not foolin’ me, man. You might fool the fucks in the league office, but you don’t fool Jesus.
This bush league psyche-out stuff. Laughable, man – ha ha! I would have fucked you in the ass Saturday. I fuck you in the ass next Wednesday instead.
Wooo! You got a date Wednesday, baby!”

You Belong to Me sounds like an interesting movie. It stars Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. She’s a doctor. He’s a millionaire. They meet on vacation. I suppose wacky highjinx ensue soon turning to love.
But the movie only sounds interesting. There was never a movie with that description with those two in it. It is almost real and very similar plot points to The Lady Eve. Yet, I think it’s all fabricated.
I got this link in my google search RSS feed for Barabara Stanwyck. I read it the site. I think it’s a spam site as lately this search RSS feed has been getting hit with spam sites. I apologize now if you’re on a Windows machine and it installs some kind of malware.
I can’t believe how sophisticated these spammers are. If you read the rest of the site, you’ll see some other movies that were made in the alternate reality Hollywood of the spammers.
