I really enjoyed tonight's episode. It had an emotional core, a couple of surprises, and I was really tense about what would happen to a couple of characters I've really started to like. Is anyone still watching?
The year 3642. Earth has been absorbed by force into The Empire. Oh, it has a longer name, but that's what people call it, because it's the Empire, ok? Humanity is a very very small minority in this Empire, one of only a handful or humanoid...
There are many fiction genres. You've got your comedy, your tragedy, your drama, your mystery, your romance, your horror, your thriller and so on. Then there are a few genres that aren't genres at all but settings. The three that come to mind are...
In the past month, I've noticed that on many "real life" television shows about prison (MSNBC especially) and street gangs, whenever a black person speaks, subtitles appear on the screen. However, when a white person speaks, there's no subtitles. ...
Spring is here, according to the date and according to the weather until today, when the temps dropped into the low 40s, but I digress. Spring is here! I feel the urge to bake something, but all my go-to recipes seem too heavy, and I'm not...
Maybe I've been living under a rock and everyone else has heard of these, but they were new to me and I want to spread the word. The other day a friend showed me The Visitor, a brilliant little film about an economics professor in Connecticut who...
I'd like to set up some general guidelines for The Guggenheim, and your input will be appreciated. There's just one hard-and-fast rule: No threadshitting. For example, if a group of posters are discussing a TV show or a series of books, you may...
Hope this is the right forum... I took kind of a break from watching hard core porn for a few years (I never watched a lot, but some). In the past year or so, I've watched a few again ...maybe a dozen, I dunno. When last I watched, condoms...
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,...
This episode blew chunks, IMO. Badly edited, poorly directed, and the actors seemed lost, trying to compensate for the lack of direction by over-the-top performances. The plot turned unbelievable, with Bill directing and participating in DA office...
I just watched the pilot of "Better Off Ted," a sitcom from ABC. Anyone else see it? (It's available on their website.) I really enjoyed it. Very silly stuff, especially Ted's boss, Veronica. I don't tend to be a sitcom watcher, so I don't...
Okay, in the last playlist challenge, we came up with bands and songs with animals in the names. That was fun. I bet everyone who participated has caught at least one song on the radio (or somewhere) since then, that had animals in it, and you went...
The local radio djs use various audio clips during their shows, and one of them has a guy saying "I love the nightlife. I like to boogie." (He might be saying something other than "like" in the second half. I think the song lyric is "got"...
No, not that you pervs. There is an actor on "The Office" called B.J. Novak. He's also listed as a "co-producer" and occasional writer. In the opening credits, there are 5 names "above the title"; that is, prior to the words "The Office"...
I have read "Keep the Aspidistra Flying" a dozen times at least, and as a result have actually figured out, and understand, the English pre-decimal coinage system. That said, there's still a bunch of stuff I need to work through, like...what is...
Randy tries to save the economy, but fails miserably. Best part, IMHO, was when they asked the reporter about the economy and he committed suicide. Though seeing how the folks at the Treasury department consulted the chart was pretty good too.
In the behind the scenes stuff for movies like CEofTK and the documentary on Kubrick he comes across as funny,informative and very knowledgable. I can't believe that it's a time issue, as in he couldn't slot in a couple of hours to do it. Does he...
I'm not talking about stuff like, "'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy"* or "We are the Mormons"*. I'm talking about music that never had any lyrics to begin with until some wisenheimer decided to make some up, or the little devil that lives in your...
So, I'm going to be starting dinner soon, and I was checking my available ingredients. I was planning on saute-ing mushrooms and onions in olive oil, and then mixing with pasta. And...I have some fresh green beans, and was looking at them and...
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is high up there with me.
I know a lot of posters use Netflix. Anyone interested in collecting some Domers (is that what we're calling ourselves?) as friends? If you befriend someone, you'll be able to see the number of movies you have in common with them and the...
Singer Singer Singer Singer Singer Singer . . . .
If you haven't seen it already, I recommend this flick. It has great horror qualities and suspense. The ending, although surprising at the time, makes a lot of sense.
You guys are getting all up in my Canadian dandruff these days. :) Darby Conley's "Get Fuzzy" from March 24 is bugging me - I can't figure out if the book Satchel is reading, "From Curling to Ice Hockey - Famous Canadians" is supposed to written by...
The first one was washed in from Lake Michigan, rolling along the shoreline of Chicago's Lincoln Park. The body, a girl of perhaps fourteen, had been in the water several days. The cause of death was strangulation by ligature; there was evidence...
Any style, any components...it's all good. The Perfect Hamburger 1/3 lb. patty comprised of 30% hot Italian sausage, 70% 80/20 ground chuck, cooked medium Kaiser roll, toasted mustard, bottom bun, Plochman's Firehouse lettuce, one leaf,...
There may be a 9th season in the offing, at least according to one of ABC's presidents in charge of entertainment. Ratings in the coveted male 18-34 demo have better then expected this season for the show, and that along with improved storylines and...
This thread is for TV characters you loved that just disappeared from the show. Big Gay Al, you are missed. South Park isn't the same without you. Anyone else?
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...
No Cafe Society forum would be complete with at least one House thread in it, so I'm happy to oblige. Originally when House was created it was based (at least in part) on Sherlock Holmes. I'm curious how does it seem to be sticking to that idea?...
Certainly high on the list is Bambi. I have never seen it. But I can tell you that Bambi's mother dies. I think she is shot or something, I don't know. How do I know this? Dumb question - everyone knows this. It isn't even a spoiler any more, it...
By far my favorite type of movie is bank robbery type movies. I enjoy the planning, the execution, and the possibility of a large payoff compared to an even larger risk. Off the top of my head, I've seen: Italian Job: Mark Wahlburg was...
I'm probably halfway through it, and so long as it doesn't pull a fucked up ending like Le Pacte des loups, I will be recommending it often.
This is a bit of spoiler space. Don't read further if you don't want spoilers because this is your last chance to avoid 'em. ***********SPOILERS TO FOLLOW************* Last week's episode pumped up the drama by a hefty margin. Now this...
I've put this in the Guggenheim as I think it's art. It's also bloody amazing.
One of the weirder titles of the season, but we'll see what it means shortly!
There's a few lines in the song "A Little Priest" that have me puzzled... TODD: Is that squire, On the fire? LOVETT: Mercy no, sir, look closer, You'll notice it's grocer! TODD:
Okay, despite the fact that Michael's new business is likely to go down in flames I was so proud of Pam last night! Of course this is likely to end with her back as DM's receptionist, but at least she had a great moment. I have a feeling Jim was...
This is something I’d thought about starting on that other board. I figure anyone who joins can all agree to rent, Netflix, buy, or otherwise watch a particular movie, then discuss it at a pre-arranged time. I don’t think genre limitations are...
Wow, that was funny, particularly the Star Trek stuff! One question for those who watched - My fricking sister-in-law started talking right at the point where there was a Britney Spears joke relating to the book "Thinner" by Steven King. What...
Odds are, I won't be able to watch it until the weekend, but I'm starting a thread anyway, because I'm pumped. Sam and Dean trying straight jobs? This has potential.
Link This was sent to my mom in 1960 or 61. An original-looking Barbie doll with swimsuit and pearl earrings. She also had a pair of beach sandals and sunglasses, which have been lost. However, the swimsuit, which is supposed to be...
Not necessarily bad commercials, but rather those that seem to air during EVERY commercial break on EVERY channel. The key word here is seem." The inspiration for this thread? Some commercial where I don't even know what is being advertised,...
Every once in a while, I get an itch to try my hand at growing some vegetables out on the balcony. Since Spring has just about sprung, I figure this is as good a time as any to actually get off my butt and do something about it. Since I've never...
This first day of Spring Break, I'm chomping down on a sausage, cheese, mustard and pickle on rye sandwich. Yes, for breakfast. Yes, my wife knows I'm eating this way. She made it for me. No, I don't get heartburn, but thanks for asking. ...
I'll be in Houston next week on business, on the west side of the city (CityWest Blvd). Last time I was down there we went to Saltgrass and I had the 22-oz. Porterhouse (and 5 beers, a baked potato, a salad, half an order of fried mushrooms, and a...
Im in Australia and won't get to watch the show until tomorrow, (it's airing now and im planning on watching it tomorrow evening). However i would like to get a thread started in asking for people's opinions on seeing Jimmy Fallon's first night as...
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?
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 was watching a program on PBS called Rare Visions and Roadside Revelations , wherein they travel the country looking for both roadside attractions and folk art. One of their stops in Missouri was at a BBQ joint that was located in a cave. You...
