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...
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=6982226&page=1 It's been years since I heard one of his broadcasts, but his distinctive style was both informative and entertaining. Good night, Sir.
I was actually going to start this thread to find out if anyone knew what the hell had happened to him, but it seems he has turned up. I'm sure this has been on the news in the UK, but I've missed it here in the States. I'm quite relieved - I was...
As is complained about constantly, the rules of elimination on Top Chef leave a lot to be desired. Currently, one mistake in an otherwise strong contestant can get one thrown to the curb. Aiming to win a given week doesn't help you at all past that...
However, I have found that I make really good vegetable soup. Tasty. Which leads me to the conclusion that I grew up with a mother that can't cook. My mom's veggie soup: Dump a bunch of canned whatever into a pot. Add a can of tomato juice. ...
I think this was literally the funniest episode of anything that I had ever seen. When Jemaine opened the door and Art Garfunkle was standing there, I almost died laughing. Not to mention Patton Oswalt, the Obama impersonator, the Japanese karaoke...
This is probably the cue for a giant PALATN (Point And Laugh At The N00b)-fest, but I stumbled across this the other day while at home looking after my sick son, and because said son wasn't demanding a lot of attention I wound up scarfing down *all*...
Fir the last hour, I've been out in the stadium watching the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, Honor Guard and Silent Drill platoon perform. Stunning, as is to be expected from Marines. If you ever get a chance to see them perform, do not miss it! The...
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'm trying to work up the gumption to do some cooking. I have a fridge full of beer, but I'm not a beer drinker. I was talking to an old friend who said he loves to put beer in pot roast, which made me think it might be pretty good in some...
I just don't have the heart to throw books in the rubbish. I thought burning them might be cool, in a twisted sort of way (just a bunch of Grisham and the like). I suppose I could sell them to the used book store for 5¢ apiece or something, but...
Was anybody else watching? Did you buy the video, and is it worth it? I thought their performance was mind-boggling - they really broke the fourth wall. Neatest thing I've seen in a long time.
Cuz I think Cervaise is prolly a cylon. And the BSG threads were one of my favorite parts of the Dope. I wouldn't necessarily be adverse to the notion of doing the weekly BSG thread here as a DOMEBO exclusive... :ugeek:
You just knew it was going to end that way. Howard finally gets him some. I wonder how long it will last?
I noticed that Michelle Obama's official portrait made the news today. I don't know much about photography, but I like the composition of this photo. The dress, necklace, hairstyle, pose -all flows so smoothly. I don't care for Barack's. It...
Another poster talked about the song, Sexual Healing which lead me to think about the great number of songs about sex - that don't use the word "sex" in the lyric or title. Here are the first few I thought of: I Wanna Rock With You Gimme Your...
A few years back I was introduced to a snazzy little poetic form called the hay(na)ku. I've heard some things described as taking seconds to learn and a lifetime to master. Well, hay(na)ku takes seconds to learn and, as often as not, seconds...
I have precious little art on my walls and I'm thinking of having a couple Gaugin prints matted and framed: http://www.fulcrumgallery.com/a28609/Pa ... DAodOT_zkg Is it cheesy to do this? What prints of famous works do you have displayed?
From the show's description: One of the race's frontrunners winds up at the back of the bunch after an unexpected plane landing. Who will be eliminated tonight?
Michael Jackson Auction Catalog Believe it or not, some of it is actually nice. But a good percentage of it is crap. And yes, there are a HELL of a lot of kiddy statues.
Go on...it's okay. You can admit it. Masterpiece Theater isn't on twenty-four hours a day, you know. I just got the biggest kick out of last night's show. I'm loving the irony that a woman who insists on being called "Countess," even to the...
In the interests of revealing mortifying details about ourselves, here's the game: go to your movie collection, and list the ones that start with the letter B. We can use this information to form unwarrented opinions about one another, which is...
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...
I'm considering cancelling my Comcast account based purely on that vile, wretched "Dream Big" commercial that makes me want to attack my own beloved television with a flamethrower. What commercials are you loving or hating lately?
So, I didn't love it, and I didn't hate it. It's not the worst thing we watch, and it's not the best. I'm getting a lot of "meh" out of it, mostly because I'm a straight girl and all the slinky femmes in skimpy outfits aren't doing much for me. I...
The thread that intially brought me to the SDMB was the debate on the Mutant Registration Act in GD - I thought it might be a nice thing to have at the beginning of this board, as well. Especially considering the (relatively) recent events wherein a...
I was about to fix some sliced steak with bell pepper, onion, and thinly sliced potatoes. I'm kind of tired of the old fajita spice I use. I got to thinking, this would be good with a little of the red Tex-Mex sauce I've heard called carne sauce. ...
One of my interests is anime: are there any other anime lovers here? I've just started on the series Sumomo mo Momo mo, which I'm finding very promising in spite of (or perhaps because of) the total cultural clash between the martial-art fanatic...
I have gotten into a serious rut with the after work meals I have been cooking lately, so I was thinking maybe you all could help add a few new items to my quick and easy meals menu plan. The peramiters. 1) Must be relatively cheep to make (no...
Some of you may have seen this over-the-top letter from Giles Coren to sub-editors (I guess thats Brit-speak for "copyeditor?) at the Times, in which he throws a tantrum because his words were changed from "for a nosh" to "for nosh." The man can...
Zipping around in some pseudo-jet humming Beethoven's 9th does NOT equal Art Appreciation. Heathens. Why is it so impossible to teach anything about art? I swear 3/4 of the adults in this country think the point of a painting is to...
Mine is Inconsolata. It used to be Courier New, for quite a long time, and generally I find monospaced fonts most satisfying. How bout y'all?
Back when it was new and I was 11, I hated the Dungeons & Dragons Saturday morning cartoon. I was a D&D player at the time and felt that the show sucked because of the "inaccuracies" and thought it was too childish. Well, I have kids of my own,...
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...
What webcomics do you read? Sluggy Freelance: Two guys and a lot of interdimensional trouble. I've been reading this one since 2002-ish. By now I just want to see how it ends. Sluggy passed its peak a long time ago, but it still has its moments....
Right now, I've got Bee Jam Blues from Guitaroo Man going. It's a pretty catchy tune. I've also got Denny Green's little meltdown and a remixed version bookmarked. Those are handy during Mr. Green's beer commercials. Robin
I don't know if you've seen this, but I laughed 'til I cried. Look for the 15th post - that's the one that got me. http://carbonmonoxiide.angelfire.com/TIME_FOR_SOME_STORIES.htm
Except of course for the whole 'season ending' thing. There's so little that I watch nowdays of current stuff, I can hardly get all the jokes on The SOup, 'cause I'm like "who the hell is speidi?" I tend to only watch truly trashy tv (more to...
I finally had some free time for video watching and The Dark Knight was finally off the "One-night-rental-only" shelf, so I got to pop it in the DVD player and give it a watch the other night. Wow. That was fun. Heath Ledger's portrayal of The...
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!
This first guy has a nice voice. I like him.
I'm sitting here at my desk snacking on a bag of Herr's Pizza-Flavored potato chips, and they are truly awesome. So have been every other flavor of theirs I have ever tried. Buffalo Wing? Great. Steak & Worchestersire? Beyond great. Creamy Dill...
I was asked to C & P my post from Board Voldemort (The Board That Must Not Be Named) as I was told I had some extra spe-shul insights to offer regarding Big Love. I am a former mormon and watch this show with great interest. Any other exmos/postmos...
hope this doesn't turn out to be bullshit! 'Seinfeld' alums guesting on HBO's 'Curb' "The Seinfeld" Five are reuniting on Larry David's HBO comedy "Curb Your Enthusiasm." The four stars of the hit NBC comedy -- Jerry Seinfeld, Julia...
For the unaware, Uncyclopedia is a humorous parody of Wikipedia, run on similar lines of user created content, but with the objective being humour. As anyone else noticed that for the last week or so, the "Did you know..." section has been messed...
I've heard this song on the radio a few times lately and I can't get it out of my head. Link is to what I think is the official video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrQRS40OKNE Really nice harmonies, although the lyrics are a little strange....
Thanks to Netflix, last night I watched There Will Be Blood, and was left with a curious mixture of feelings about it. Visually, it's superbly done. There were a goodly number of arresting images. You really get a feel for the brutal, gritty...
I like coffee, but usually only make a cup or two. I gave away my Gevalia drip coffee maker to a co-worker when I quit my job a couple of months ago. I've been surviving on instant coffee since, but would like to do better. So I was thinking...
I recently rented the Tim Burton film version of Sweeney Todd, and loved it. I have since bought the complete soundtrack and watched a lot of scenes from the stage version on Youtube. This is without a doubt my favorite musical of all time - I've...
I'm watching the show now. This is the third episode I've seen and I'm enjoying it. I think the casting is great. Zed is my favorite character from the books, and I like Bruce Spencer in the role. Richard looks just right to me, as does...
