If an episode of a TV show has not aired yet, a book has not been published, or a movie has not premiered, any discussion of their plot details and descriptions are considered to be spoilers. Threads that are going to discuss such things should...
Yeah, so not sure what the policy is on starting threads. Don't see too many here, actually. Yeah, yeah, OK. So I saw *The French Connection* again the other night, and the first half of *The French Connection 2*, which I hadn't seen, and,...
Yes, one of THOSE threads. I'm bored. The B-52s "Good Stuff"

Ask anything. If I can't answer it then Malacandra will step in an answer it. (Or anyone else that wants to.) I don't know it all or as much as QtM, but I know way too much or where to find it.
Well, Sam will be back. Of course he will, but does it seem to anybody else that Hell is easier to get out of than the parking lot at Walmart? And since he and Dean are obviously going to have to get in the Impala and hit the road, it might be...
Chili is beanless. Ketchup does not belong on hot dogs. Cornbread does not have sugar in it. Let the Holy Wars begin!
Fye5Nwe4qeI Marsilia got me hooked on the Hunger Game series of books and now the first of the movies is coming out this spring. I'm geekily excited about it, because sci-fi with a strong, young female lead isn't exactly a plentiful genre.
I had thought to solicit ideas and opinions on J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek, since I hadn't noticed a thread on this topic. (Forgive the long-time lurker.) For the uninitiated, here, courtesy of YouTube, is the third theatrical trailer, as well...
A new update: Holy crap. Holy crap. Holy crap. Oh V, we knew you would commit some horrible deed... But this?
"Beer - the cause of, and solution to, most of Life's problems." So let's sound off about beer. What are your favorites? Which styles repel you? Is there such a thing as "too much hops?(no) This is the thread to opine, pontificate, and spout...
Love or hate the previous album cover, then post one of your own! Love and hate are your only choices. I will start with this:
This is an experimental idea that I think is more likely to work here than on the SDMB, so I'm giving it a go. The idea is that once a day someone posts a link to a song, talks about it a little, and if possible comes up with a link between the...
I'm coming from a very specific, and very serious, perspective: part of my job calls for me to observe newly-hired English professors and write up an evaluation of the class(es) I observe, with the immediate goal being to re-hire (or not) the...
Didn't get around to opening the thread until now, largely because I forgot that tonight is the season premiere. Hmm, maybe a bad sign. Anyway, Castiel's God. What will happen? Can't be anything bad, can it?
Revivified! The idea is to post one song per day as the official "Song of the Day", although additional ones are certainly welcome. They can be relevant to the day itself or not; it doesn't matter. Previously selected for your listening...
Because I want a place to ramble on about the movies I see. :dumbo::hist::dumbo: I believe we all know the awesomeness of The Avengers, so instead I will start with ...
These are all songs I'm subjected to at work, and since it was a quiet night tonight, I was inspired to start this thread. Right now I'm pretty sick of Augustana's "Boston", where the singer says that he thinks he'll go to Boston where "no one...

I've just got my copy of the second book in Lindsey Davis's mystery series set in Ancient Rome, and I also bought a copy of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, which was recommended on the SDMB. It's a collection of case histories of people with...
All right kids, this one is fun and simple. Every member of Domebo has a number linked to their profile. Presumably I think it's generated in order of when you joined. IMDB has a similar profile page with every actor, director, writer, grip and...
Amazon.com has just implemented a new policy. "In consideration of our entire customer base, we exclude "adult" material from appearing in some searches and best seller lists. Since these lists are generated using sales ranks, adult materials...
Inspired by Esquire magazine's occasional feature, "The indefensible position" Whenever people on the internet discuss pizza, you can rest assured that no one likes Hawaiian style pizza. It's a subject of ridicule. Who is so forsaken by God as...
The 1st. has already gone, in the June thread.
Inspired by Silenus's Sci-Fi thread: Please post your five all-time favorite Star Trek characters--from any series. I start: Spock Worf Data Picard
In another part of the internet, someone asked if there were any personal little saying that you say that no one else understands. I do but most of them are from TV shows and commercials. Catchphrases that are only catchphrases to me. A few...
I absolutely cover songs. I have at least a thousand of them that I enjoy. I like the ones that are just like the original and I like ones that are *nothing* like the original. Of course there are stinkers abounds, but there are so many good...
Looking around the first page of the Guggenheim, I note to my horror that nobody's started a Tolkien thread since What Exit? opened the first one. I blame myself. To atone, I am destroying my copies of the Firefly season five box set (including...
I just started Jesus Interrupted by Bart Ehrmann, the Misquoting Jesus guy. I'm not learning a whole lot I didn't know before, but I'm interested in his general theme -- that pretty much every main line minister learns about historical criticism in...
So last night in chat, we were talking about 80s music, and by the time I went to bed, I was feeling pretty old. But I genuinely love 80s music, and I know a lot about it. Let me give you some of my bona fides first. I was born in 1971 and...
The cruelest torture I can imagine would involve being forced to go through life with a 24/7 soundtrack consisting of: Clair, by Gilbert O'Sullivan - heartfelt pedophilia at its finest! Brand New Key, by Melanie - she's got ROLLER SKATES, and...
Grate your own nutmeg. The flavor is so much better, and it's actually cheaper than pre-ground. Whole nutmegs last forever. Freshly-ground pepper. For an instant nosh for guests, pour a bottle of Pickapeppa Sauce over a block of cream cheese....
Hello people, Domebo Film Club is currently on hold until we move to the new server and I have more time to devote to it. I have a few ideas for it which I hope to implement when we get there. In the meantime, here are the links to our previous...
Spoiler notes: There are no more regular episodes of BSG after tonight, so I'm tweaking the policy slightly to reference future spin-offs (the upcoming series Caprica and the standalone TV-movie The Plan, for example). I am also removing the...
Monday June 1st 2009 Hayley Westenra & Russell Watson, Pokarekare Ana. I had thought that Hayley Westenra was Welsh, for no other particular reason than she is a Classic FM presenter now and again. I was very surprised that she was a Kiwi!...
Show the DoMeBo world what kind of music collection you have: post the next ten random songs to come up on your iPod. Here's mine: 1. Bust A Move - Young MC 2. Saved By Zero - The Fixx 3. Crushing Day - Joe Satriani 4. My Little Girl - The...
Since it's been a while since we did this, I figured I'd start it up again. Today I'm putting up "Bloodstained Heart" by Darren Hayes. I've always enjoyed his vocals, but this song really surprised me. The guitar on this track is particularly...
Looking over last.fm, and various other message boards I've seen a lot of people describe their musical taste by leaving something out. For example "I listen to everything but country" And for the life of me, I can't think of any single genre...
Welcome to another round of Culinary Capers™. As always, everyone is invited to contribute early and often. Having an edit function is certainly going to help with clarity. I'll be starting with some brand new recipes and then begin bolstering the...
I met Rupert Murdoch once. Who have you met?
First let me say that I like the Trek, but there were a lot of cringe worthy moments in TOS and TNG not to mention a large amount of annoying characters. For me the worst of the 1960s was summed up in TOS Season 3s "The Way to Eden". Singing...
The latest Britain's Got Talent sensation, arising from out of nothing into inevitable stardom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY I love her. For so many reasons.
To Kill a Mockingbird: Girl meets reclusive neighbor.
As for me haven't been doing that much reading lately. Found that I hardly read any more as well. Have to say do have times like this and others don't. Guess it depends on the book itself as well. To the End of the Land, David Grossman and...
I was on Facebook just now, doing one of those "5 Things" dealies, when I started thinking about the worst concert experiences of my life: - I walked out of U2's "Joshua Tree" show in Atlanta when they did this halfass rendition of "New Year's...
I hope that thread title is imperative enough for all of you. I used my "she who must be obeyed" voice. I'm currently kind of between projects. I don't have much motivation right now. I was knitting a log cabin baby blanket for my sister,...
"Excuse me while I whip this out." How many of us wanted this to be the first thing Obama said at his acceptance speech? :D Hands down, still the funniest movie ever made. What say you?
This is the exact opposite of Lib's well researched and well explained thread. This is an "off the top of your head" list of movies you've seen that you hate. If the movie is popular, please explain why it makes your worst list. My 10 Worst Films...
I love Star Trek. I remember watching on episodes on Saturday afternoons when there was nothing else on. One of the first movies I remember seeing--and requesting many many times--was Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. But it wasn't until a few years...
Everyone likes a crappy movie now and then. I like them more often than not. What are some crappy movies you thoroughly enjoy with or without shame? Some of mine (oh there are more): Road House Striptease (damn you Demi Moore for making...
Which movie has virtually no redeeming artistic or entertainment value despite the presence of the most talented performers? (I'm talking quantity of actors you consider to be worth watching. I'm watching ABSOLUTE POWER, which should have been...
