Before 20th Century Fox's movie "Jumper" opens Thursday, Feb. 14, there's a bit of a backstory to be told. The film, an adaptation of Steven Gould's novel of the same name, explores a world where "Jumpers" - individuals who can teleport through space and time - are hunted by Paladins.

Let's hope it doesn't become monotonous like The Bionic Woman did. I gave that show 6 weeks, then stopped watching it. I never saw so few things happen in an alleged action series as I did in that yawnfest. It was kind of like watching the first D&D movie, which had one terminal flaw - there was no D&D in it. The Bionic Woman has very little bionics in it.

I was watching the Futurama marathon -- specifically, the episode where Nibbler gets flushed down the toilet. Once the characters get to the sewer to rescue him, they encounter the sewer monster "El Chupanebre". I wondered about the meaning or origin of this made-up word, so I Googled "Chupanebre".

With so many toys to build.

Probably someone will be killed,
But we gladly work for nothing
