Cioulis - I had the exact opposite reaction. When this aired, I deleted it after about 30 seconds becuase I figured it was just another sketch where they talk with funny accents for 5 minutes, Mad-TV style. But having watched the clip above, I thought it was excellent - the way they ramped up the absurdity really…

I was going to post a nasty comment about vince neil killing a guy and then complaining "always got the cops coming after me" in "Kickstart my Heart". but that comment takes the wind out of my sails - it's pretty hard to mock somone who's watched his kid die.

I here that - He might be a bit of a lecherous perv on "Rock of Love", but wouldn't you be if you had the chance at his age? and he actually comes off as pretty respectable on "Celebrity Apprentice". And he's not half as ridiculous as, say, Axl Rose. Give the guy a break already.

the review of the Blu-ray is already up on dvdbeaver.com, and it looks like the Blu-ray is an excellent upgrade. I've never seen it, but the reveiw here and on dvdbeaver is tempting…

Abso-fucking-lutely. L'estasi del Oro is a great peice of music, whether you listen to it by itself or in terms of how it fits into the movie. There are so many other great movie themes that it's really going to be hard to say that any one theme is "the greatest", but I can't think of any that are clearly better, or…

Chinese Democracy did indeed have two or three kick ass tracks (if you don't mind them being a bit overblown and overdramatic, which I don't) I'll gladly stick up for "Chinese Democracy", "There Was a Time" and "I.R.S.". The rest of the album was pretty uneven, but overall it's not bad IMO.

That emoticon nearly made me spit Del Taco all over my desk in laughter
Surely it's worth many times more money than Perez Hilton for that reason alone.

I'll always owe Beavis and Butthead a debt of gratitude for making me realize that Axl Rose is a whiny bitch. I had gotten into GnR around 1990, and I was 13 and naive enough to take him at face value - so I pretty much thought he was the biggest bad-ass in the world (and the "robot rape" picture in the booklet from…

Well, to be fair the president was a former fighter pilot and they gave Quaid a big cup of coffee…

I guess it was just too much of a risk to fly a ship into the nexus becuase the ship might breakup before you get all the way in? ??? but if you know the nexus is going to enter a breatheable atmosphere, presumably the risk would've been much less…

Generations
This might be off topic, but I just saw Generations for the first time (yeah yeah, I'm running a bit behind), and I feel compelled to note that Soran's plot has got to be the stupidest evil villain plot I've ever seen (Bond movies included) I mean, if he can build that whole sun-killing missile, why not…

I think I'd go for Picard first, with this guy a close second - http://images1.wikia.nocook…

I'll grant that he's not intimately familiar with the newest tech like an ensign might be - but he's not exactly hanging out among the grapes yet either. So it makes sense that he'd be curious, but not astounded. It seems like this was written into the script becuase they wanted to get some bang for their buck…

Persia, maybe you should try telling the NFL and the NFL plaeyer's association about your little theory.

I'm still not buying it - Picard's job is to captain a spaceship, so he's constandly surrounded by the newest technology in the galaxy. I just don't see him expressing such gee-whiz amazement all the time.

That's a good point - and season one also seems to feature a lot of shots that empahsize just how damn big and fancy the new bridge is. I can't remember if it's in "Heart of Glory" or "When the bough breaks", but there's a shot of Picard standing by the right side of the view screen, shot from low and behind him,…

Thanks Jim - that's exactly what I need on a friday at the office!

PVL, take this with a grain of salt, as I'm no expert, but here we go..

"…and I say SCREW YOU"

I like the Klingon's burial wishes
whenever my wife asks me if I'd rather be buried or cremated, I tell her that once I die, my body will be merely an empty shell, and that she can just throw me out with the trash. Pickup is on Monday, so here's hoping I don't kick the bucket on a Tuesday!
