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...
It should have been called "I used my boobies to transport the hay." Delayed, I assume by basketball. Grr. Lots of people sounded dismayed to go to India. I think India looks amazing. Yes, poor and chaotic in so many of the places they go,...
Let us punish the guilty.
One of the weirder titles of the season, but we'll see what it means shortly!
I have learned so much from music. p-L0NpaErkk Exactly how bad is "the east side of Chicago"? What spurned Al Capone into declaring war on the city? Why is it all those pussies always say he got caught for tax evasion when this song makes it...
Every time there's news of a remake or a reboot or a re-imagining, people will inevitably bitch that "Hollywood is running out of ideas!" They bemoan that it shows the general lack of creativity in Hollywood, and whine about how there are no new...
See exhibit A: 9u7hGkL57N8FxYYRFqG4ME :dubious:
Almost time! That might be my favorite episode title ever. :D
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.
The drama! The hysterics! The body slamming! The bird bites! Laughing Chinese people! Spoilers to follow:
I really enjoyed past episodes of "Reaper," but I'm having a devil (ha, funny!) of a time staying interested so far this season, despite my love for Ray Wise. Is anyone else watching? What do you think of this season so far?
Phil in his underwear. Brides. Snowplows. It's the Amazing Race! I really like most of the teams and can tolerate (Victor, Tammy and Mark, Michael) the ones that I don't really like. What a strange, fun season. This leg felt a little...
It's actually called "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" I loved Happy Feet. I thought they did a good job of giving the penguins distinctive looks without getting too crazy, and giving them facial expressions without getting too...
Strangely enough, I recently watched Jan de Bont's remake of The Haunting a second time. For those unfamiliar with the film, it is extremely frightening, provided that the viewer has a catastrophic phobia of computer pixels. Liam Neeson plays the...
I haven't seen the movie. I probably won't see the movie. I'm curious though: Is there any way anything called "The Last Airbender" can be any good? Opinions, please.
It's so annoying when a movie receives undeserved praise. Mickey Rourke's and Marisa Tomei's faces were both fascinating, watching how they've aged, but other than a couple of mildly interesting scenes this movie was a snoozer. BTDT, ate the...
I am an avid movie watcher. I pretty much go see any movie in the theater, even if it ends up being a bad movie, and the most baffling thing to my friends; even if I KNOW its going to be a bad movie. As such, I've developed a list of cinematic pet...
This is fucking ridiculous. Making The Hobbit into 2 movies was already a stretch; this is just an insulting, transparent money-grab.
Are there any covers of Son of a Preacher Man performed by a male? With all the lyrics intact? ( Like the way Jack White covered Jolene). I'd really appreciate if anybody could help me out here!
List is from this Times Online article: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article5808143.ece Have any of you lovely British members (or lurkers) eaten all 10 items on the list? Are there other more relevant food that...
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...
Okay, some of the following lines are really cheesy, and there's no doubt about that. But other lines are just fucking epic. A few of them I would even call classic. ("I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I'm all out of bubblegum." and...
Here's an interesting letter from Brave New World author Aldous Huxley to George Orwell after the publication of the latter's classic 1984. http://www.lettersofnote.com/2012/03/1984-v-brave-new-world.html
http://riverbottomnightmareblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/and-then-there-was-1987and-cinemas.html Cole Stratton blogged about the top 50 grossing films of 1987, and as I looked at the list, I realized that I was raised on films mostly made in 1987....
Entertainment Weekly recently published a list of the "20 Best Things of the Decade." I think that the list is pretty much crap. 1.) A Boy Named Harry Potter 2.) The Sopranos 3.) YouTube 4.) The Lord of the Rings
Hey so I don't know about how this whole starting threads on TV shows thing works, and I know they do (or at least did) a thread on this back at that other place, but what the hey. So uh who watched it and what did y'all think? I'm definitely...
I always like this sort of list because it gives a pretty good idea of a person and their musical tastes. Just fire up your iPod or whatever you use to listen to mp3s, put it on shuffle, and post the first 25 songs. No pushing "skip" no matter how...
Someone pointed me in the direction of this comic about the amazing adventures of Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage and their difference engine. Not only is it highly amusing, it is also highly geeky as the author has tried to make all the facts...
They'd both be Shorts, but: The Play (end of '82 Cal-Stanford) The Flutie Hail Mary in '84
That's right, Make-up Metal Band Kiss are 35 Years old and are releasing a new album to celebrate. Has it really been that long :o My only memory of them is from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey without the face paint. What did I miss?
There is not a part of this that doesn't make me nauseus. Fucking Angelina Jolie as fucking Cleopatra? Brad Pitt as Marc Antony? No, no, and HELL NO. Liz Taylor had made a fantastic Cleopatra for her time, but Angelina Jolie is no Liz Taylor and...
Who's old enough to join the AARP and still turns your crank? I'll start this thread off with Mark Harmon, who still looks great: Yes, I would still do you, Mark. In fact, I'd probably pick you over Michael Weatherly.
It has now been continuously running for 60 years in London and is the world's longest running stage production. Agatha Christie's play, the Mousetrap, is still going strong. To celebrate the occasion a special guest cast took to the stage for a...
I found these surfing Youtube today, and they are awesome. BUWTnOx8Xo0 UEYR4ONORxE WYOadOtut7A There are more here: http://www.youtube.com/user/Florio003#p/u/20/WYOadOtut7A
I just got back from seeing Tim Burton's 9. 9 is a doll that wakes up in a laboratory, to a lifeless planet and a city in ruins. Near him he finds a hemisphere. He guesses it is important, so he zips it up inside of his burlap body. He sees...
Nostalgia for 80's (and previous decades) music is fairly popular, but I rarely see it for the 90's. But the 90's were my decade, and I love the music from it (though there are a lot of guilty pleasures on that list). So how about it, what radio...
They're on their second set of these, I think. Someone sees someone else do something decent for somebody, and then later they do a similar solid for someone they don't know. It makes for a sort of chain reaction. There's a lot I like about it. I...
I while ago I noticed a brief section in Wiki's article on Asimov's classic Foundation that they were planning to make a movie based on it. Now, Foundation is one of my all time favourite books, and whenever reading it I imagine myself as a director...
For Captain Thingy. Beeb
Chris Packham, one of the presenters of Springwatch has been caught slipping in song titles from the Manic Street Preachers into his presenting. It's not the first time he has done it, but I think this is the first time the BBC have not only...
Last night on The Golden Globes, they honored Scorsese and played a montage of his biggest films. You know, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, The Last Waltz, The Departed, The Aviator, etc. You know, the films that have had a major impact on pop...
A novelist whose grandfather was the senior surviving officer from the Titanic is revealing the truth of what occured on that fateful night. As she is the only person, who is left who knows the family secret, she has decided that she will tell all....
So Matt Smith is leaving the show after 4 years of playing the Doctor are over and already the papers have gone into a frenzy of trying to guess who the next one will be. It's a shame that John Hurt is unlikely to play the next one, probably because...
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...
This is in the Guggenheim because it is a serious artistic question about the female vulva. I’ve taken up oil painting, with a real passion, in the last few years, and I’ve recently begun painting a series, very fresh and exciting to me, of...
I don't know how many of us here read Eric Flint's 1632 series, the tales of what has happened when a town in West Virginia is transported to the Germanies in the mddle of the 30 Year's War. A number of people have written authorized stories that...
I watched this last night on Oliveloaf's recommendation, and quite enjoyed it. It's a cooking reality show with self-contained episodes (4 new chefs and 1 winner each episode, vs. a large pool and eliminate one each week). The way it works is...
It seems that Abercombie & Fitch the american fashion label have decided that the antics of Jersey Shore, and in particular Michael "The Situatiuon" Sorrentino is not a good brand for them. Now they get a lot of free publicity for it, but its...
:cool: Just so that you know!
My girlfriend took the day off; I'm still unemployed; so we're going to the 10:45 am showing. Will report upon return. Hrmm.
Angel actor Andy Hallett Dies of Heart Failure at 33. So young! :(
