I'm actually looking for two things: good magazines I haven't found, and good magazines to submit science fiction stories to. I also want to know where I can find your favorite magazines; I've been getting them at the Barnes&Noble in town, but they sell out quickly. Once all they had was three copies of F&SF, and I found it to be excellent. Another time I found five titles, but I haven't seen Asimov's there, and I always liked that one.

Analog was excellent as well, as they've always been. The British Interzone was very well designed, with excellent layout and large amounts of excellent artwork, but I didn't like any of the writing. It just didn't suit my taste.

I have yet to find any decent online mags, I'm sure you guys can supply me with that.

    Great summary. I'm wondering if you could summarise the recent movie with the same accuracy, as some remaining lobe of my 8-year-old brain still sends out pulses to the rest of my brain telling me I should watch it. Instructions on how to turn it into a drinking game would also be useful, I still have an 18-year-old-brain lobe still very active. (I guess things like - I drink whenever B.A. Baraccas delivers a one-liner, my g/f drinks whenever Hannibal chews on a cigar, etc.)

    I'll be, I didn't even know there was an A-team remake movie. I checked. There really is one.

    I got powned pretty hard w/ the 10/21/2015 back to the future stuff where I spent about half the day figuring nobody would talk about that crap movie unless there was a remake movie coming out so how about that. And there wasn't a remake, people really were just responding to a "blah" teen movie from decades ago.

    For better and worse, it's different from the original. Personally, I liked the movie. It is more violent (people die, but mostly so off screen and it ties into the crime; BA has to confront morals about killing people) and not as much junk yard builds. Lots of references to the old series and (with the exceptions of what I just mentioned) seemed to honor the spirit. Cheesy? Check. Crime drama? Check. Funny? Check. Ridiculous action flick? Triple Check! (Suspend your disbelief before starting the movie. You'll enjoy it more.)

    Watch for cameos by Dwight Schultz and Dirk Benedict. If you don't see them in the movie (different versions of the movie floating around), make sure to look at the deleted scenes. They'll be there. They are hilarious.
