I was going to say I don't like musicals, but I do like the musical numbers on the Simpsons and I enjoyed Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. So I guess there have been a couple exceptions. I plan to die without seeing Singing in the Rain or any Gilbert and Sullivan, however.

There was only one Indiana Jones movie, and Star Wars only ever got one sequel, with an unresolved cliffhanger. George Lucas went missing and was presumed dead circa 1980 or so.

This was one of my favorite Classic Trek eps
I liked the look of it, too, though I liked the look of "The Cage" even more. Spock may not have acted as alien, but he sure looked more alien.

Twilight Zone was an amazing show and well worth an AV TV Club series.

So many books to read, but I hope to get to his, soon…

What about "Garden of Last Days" by Andre Dubus III?
I'm halfway through that now — great book so far, I think. Didn't that come out in 2008?

No one is excited about the next Pixar movie, Up?
And what of the last season of Galactica, starting soon?

I read someplace that Timm can't bring himself to watch most of the old BTAS episodes because he feels like the pacing and editing is so painfully slow; that he learned so much along the way that his original work suffers by comparison…

I love most of the Timm/Dini/Burnett/McDuffie stuff, but Mask of the Phantasm was a colossal borefest.

When I saw Batman Returns on opening night, our local theaterplex projectionist mixed up the reels and showed them out of order, like 1, 2, 4, 3, 5 or something, so that characters like the Winter Queen were dying and coming back to life and so on, and as far as I could tell, I was the only one in the theater who

I hadn't been to a concert in at least 6 years but made sure to catch Erykah Badu (opening act was The Roots!) and can't recommend her live act enough. Phenomenal.

Weirdly, I have his "Ackermanthology" on my nightstand right now
I found it in a box after moving, and have been enjoying some of the goofy short short scifi stories he'd collected…

Am I the only one who regularly watches only the first few eps of a 24 season?
I average about 6 or 7 episodes in a 24 season tops before I lose interest — it's usually around the time they work in the first "startling plot twist"…

Tasha: "Eh, I'll get around to seeing it eventually. It's obviously still going to be there" — that's what I meant (though one thing Oz, Titanic and Wonderful Life have in common is that they seem to be on TV all the time).

I haven't seen Wizard of Oz, Casablanca or It's A Wonderful Life
For the same reason you took so long to bother watching Titanic

I noticed that too; apparently the Simpons is suddenly like Lost, where characters can reappear with little fanfare after dying spectacular, grisly deaths.

This is one of the few things I was sort of enjoying in the show, as a former Bostonian (I particularly appreciated that none of the actors even tried to affect any accent, since that usually leads to horrible failures like Robin Williams in "Good Will Hunting"). I was sort of hoping that the MA setting would lead to

Lost me
This was the only show I was remotely interested in, in the Fall lineup. I may not watch TV again until winter, but I definitely won't bother again with Fringe.
