An artist is challenging global warming by exhibiting ice sculptures of London landmarks outdoors at the height of the British summer. The ice sculptures of Post Office Tower, The London Eye, St Paul’s Cathedral and Big Ben are on display in the...
I hadn't realised this was due for a remake so to find that Colin Farrell will be covering Arnold Schwarzenegger's role was a surprise. Apparently they are going to be closer to the original book than the film was, but I'm wondering who they will...

Miriam O'Reilly has succeeded in her case against the BBC for dropping her on account of her age and for victimisation after several stories came out in the press. The Countrywide program which covers rural affaris was shifted from a morning to...
From a conversation in chate, first one I suggest is Grass, by Carl Sandburg. Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo. Shovel them under and let me work - I am the grass; I cover all. And pile them high at Gettysburg And pile them...
I'm not sure what to add. Here's the link. It's a trap!
I DVR'd this a while ago off TCM and finally watched it last night. I have heard about, known about, saw clips from it and seen the cultural references to it all over the place. Quizshow came to mind immediately.Angie: What do you wanna do...
Now, I knew it was bad, but now its official, 2012 is the worst beating out such luminaries as The Core and Armageddon. I mean it has neutrinos destroying things, but at least it doesn't have unobtanium in it. Details here Can you think of...
FIFTY. I mean, sure, she was no spring chicken when she played a teenager on Beverly Hills 90210. But still. FIFTY.
Story here. She's 93 years old and has cancerous lesions on her leg, with gangrene imminent. She's also been "pretty much confined" to a wheelchair since 2002. She hadn't wanted to undergo the surgery and I can sympathize. It has to be...
Because the polls running right now are insufficiently stupid. :smug: I wanted to include the coolest TV character from each decade, but I couldn't think of anybody from the 50s or 90s who was actually cool. :madsci:
Not necessarily your favorites, but THE BEST. Mine: 1. John Sayles' epic Matewan 2. Casablanca 3. To Kill a Mockingbird At any given time, this list could be different.
... and I think a little part of my bibliophile soul just died. ::scream:: <-- inner bibliophile I don't know if it's all the commercials, or seeing them around on the bus, or what*. So, I will probably have a little extra in the way of...
It sounds like a quick, wonky version of 'Baby Elephant Walk', but does anyone know for sure? 6pGDDqxzo94
We're going to hang out with some friends and watch movies for New Year's. Any suggestions on what we should watch that has New Year's as part of the theme? (Even better if you know the movie is available on Apple TV, since that's our only way of...
Please express them using one or more or the options provided.
Well?
Saw it last night, and I'll answer the pressing question first: Is this a worthy sequel to the original? Yes, yes it is. The effects are better (though not worth the extra $4 to see it in 3D), but there's more depth to the storyline as well...
If a guy walks into a bar or restaurant with a singer performing live, the guy knows the singer, and he/she knows all sorts of valuable stuff.
I have just dived into a new Paul McCartney bio. It's called Fab and it's by a guy named Howard Sounes. So far it seems pretty good...I'm only up to Paul & John meeting for the first time, and already he's told a couple stories about Paul & his...
What songs really put you in the spirit? What songs, when you hear them, make you want to punch Santa in the jelly? Post them here! For your consideration, dear Mellos, I give you the what-the-fuckary of a Gaga Christmas:
She has a new film to promote and yet at the same time a set of indiscrete photos of her, have apparently been stolen and released by someone hacking into her stylist's personal account. Does anyone else think this is to just generate publicity...
I have been feeling totally cruddy today, so I have just decided that I'm going to treat myself to this movie. I expect it to be preachy in places, but I always thought that this was the most filmable of the Narnia books. It was my favorite as a...
...and this will be the only thing that ever plays on it.
Macy's commercial, using a song from RENT. A song about...your last year on Earth as you DIE FROM AIDS. iW7bc0lD5gA What are some other really odd/bad song choices for commercials?
Sympathy for the Devil or Penny Lane? :hoj:
Not great songs, not classics. Just songs you hear sometimes that you like. :hoj:
I'm kind of partial to A Charlie Brown Christmas, myself. What is the one you look forward to every year? If I didn't list it, give us your write-in vote. :)
I think of you, and I smile I think of you, and I smile I haven't seen you in a while I think of you, and I smile
Every Joo Down in Joo-ville Liked Chanukah as such… But the Kvetch, Who lived just north of Joo-ville, … not so much. The Kvetch hated Chanukah, the whole Chanukah season. Now don't ask me why. What? Should I know the reason?
Given that life after Harry Potter has not been as appealing as it might be to a multi-millionaire, it seems that JK Rowling is possibly going to write a new book. She probably misses the fame and fortune, but that's life. The question is:...
I loathe this band with a magic sort of hate. The pasty, plodding, overproduced crap they pass off as music actually makes my head hurt. Still, folks that like them tend to love them. And, like me, I find that folks who dislike them...
Here are some resources available: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statues_and_sculptures_in_New_York_City http://newyorkcitystatues.com/ My first choices without research: Theodore Roosevelt from the American Museum of Natural History to...
Star Trek II (Khan) or Star Trek IV (whales)?
I hate Charles Dickens' works. I loathe everything of his I've read. Not that I can claim I've read all his works. Oddly enough, I've only read what I've had to after my first excursion into his oeuvre. I began with A Christmas Carol, and even...
Some friends of mine on another messageboard, thumped.com, put together this song collaboratively. I think it's great! TqJ2wyMmhPE
Did anybody but me go see this over the weekend? I liked t quite a bit, which was a change from the last couple. I really liked the way they animated the story of the three brothers - it reminded me or MirrorMask or Coraline. I loved the...
Hot or not?
My husband and I saw the "Master of my Domain" episode of Seinfeld the other day, and it really was laugh-out-loud funny. Got us to talking about which sitcoms really have stood the test of time and which haven't. Which do you think are the true...
I am so glad this is one Youtube because it cracks me up. In this infomercial Mr. T makes a grand entrance by knocking down a door--except he almost falls down and stumbles awkwardly through the door instead. Apparently a redo wasn't in the...
I just saw someone on Twitter declare that The Next Generation was the best Star Trek series of them all. This is far and away at odds with how I view things, but if I took TOS out of the running which would be the best series? It's a hard...
Yes, they are expecting to start filming the next Ghostbusters movie in May 2011. This is either going to be a major suckfest, or perhaps hope against hope, halfway decent. I am not expecting it to be anywhere near as good as the first movie though....
Flux Capacitor
Holy Jesus. What is this movie? I recall hearing about it when it came out, and have heard people discuss it since. But just now I watched about 30 minutes of it and I want to be put down.
No good will come of this. Either if they are adapting the Manga or the anime, no good will come of this. ESPECIALLY NOT WITH ZAC EFRON PLAYING KANEDA. Apparently they want Morgan Freeman to play The Colonel as well and I bet they move it...
THIS WEEK: Really thought Mondo and Andy's were great. Both high-fashion looks were avant garde enough, both ready to wears were dresses that people would be ready to wear! ;) I would absolutely buy a dress like the one Mondo made, it was really...
Sorry this one is a bit late. I didn't have a chance to watch it yesterday. "A star captain's most solemn oath is that he will give his life, even his entire crew, rather than violate the Prime Directive." The Enterprise discovers the...
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...
