I'm going to play devil's advocate and say that "Legendary" was... [looks both ways]...OK. It had some neat ideas and pretty swell monster design wrapped around a functional but bland shooter.

This is a bit random, but I'm going to throw it out there: I kind of dislike McNamara. I'm not sure what it is about the guy that doesn't sit well with me (I like most of the GI staff), but his personality as presented in both his editorials and appearances on the GI podcast really grates on my nerves.

Ditto. I was amazed at how good these cheapos sounded when I first put 'em on my head. Fantastic bargain.

If I'm not mistaken, Depp is the primary reason this movie moved out of Development Hell and he wanted to play Tonto.

I could go on forever about the popular perception of the southern United States. Yeah, sure, we have some idiots living down here. You got us. But something tells me stupid folks aren't exclusive to those states south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

I too am a straight, metal loving male cat lover (just ignore the jock-looking part for me, thank you) and I strongly agree with everything you've typed here. STRONGLY.

I live in Northeast Mississippi and I would happily attend your cat-glorifying event.

Ditto x 1,000.

It's not just that vinyl "sounds better;" it sounds different. I'm not sure it's a matter of pure quality. If I understand it correctly (which, I might not), digital media plays at a different wavelength than analogue media, producing what most describe as a "warmer sound." Some folks can't tell the difference, but a…

I'd say that depends on whether or not the "obsolete technology" offers something that new technology cannot. Now, many if not most would disagree with me, but I'd say that print magazines certainly do offer something I can't get online. I just like them.

The very notion behind all of this weirds me out. I understand that most of the great pieces of literature required more than one cook in the kitchen to create — at the very least an author and an editor. But these mass-produced, art-by-committee types of things just don't sit well with me. I know that it's the way it…

If you haven't seen it, TheOneRing.net published a fantastic essay about the potential breakdown of the three movies. It's all speculation, but it's great. Plus, it bolstered my already-high expectations for these movies. Here it is, if'n yer interested:

It's all VBR stuff. Sounds pretty good. Of course, like you said, there's also FLAC.

Listen, Ray. Next time, when somebody asks you if you're a god, you say YES.

While I'm definitely interested in the subject matter this documentary presents, the trailer almost entirely derailed my desire to see the film. It was just so overblown in its presentation. Heck, the trailer even has the cliche shot of a dude underwater in a swimming pool that films have been ripping from "The…

Thumbs up.

Thumbs up.

And I'll back you up:

I completely agree with this. It's one of the reasons I like the way Netflix breaks down it's five star system: 1 equals I hate it; 2 equals I disliked it; 3 equals I liked it; 4 equals I really liked it; 5 equals I loved it. It's a great way of giving a quick rating while admitting the "rater" is still being…
