Yep, toward the end of my time with these "clubs" I was only buying what I knew I could trade in for more money in credit at the local used CD shops. They caught on pretty quick and it got hard to sell these things, and then my time was done.

Yes! That one was actually in my head as I wrote this. So disappointing.

"Do you guys remember that sometimes the artwork, it sucked? It would only have half the artwork and no liner notes. "

And Giada De Laurentiis.

The files were digital to begin with - what do you think is on a CD?

FLAC is file compression, like zip, not audio compression, which is what mp3/aac/ogg/etc. use.

Anyone remember how extensive the child-inappropriate stuff is? My 9 year old daughter loves the movie and wants to read the book, but I read it back when it came out and have no recollection of it being particularly offensive when it comes to language (but I was also in my teens and so loved that kind of thing.) I…

My 9 and 6 year old daughters have watched this with my wife and me, and they were okay. The 6yo hid her eyes a few times, but overall seemed pretty caught up in it.

I got a dirt-cheap copy of the trilogy not long ago too. The other films aren't brilliant, but it's fun to dig into a deep pocket of dinosaur stuff, and the extras are fascinating.

Jurassic World ignores JPs 2 and 3, so it's just a continuation of the story ideas from JP 1. Think of it this way: they'd already invested the time and money into the park. One incident (a big incident that killed quite a few people) is only a warning that your security systems need beefing up, and the presumption is…

Chappie is also a surprise from Zimmer. Lots of synth work, very 80s feeling in places. (I haven't even seen the film yet but it seems like it fits well with what I saw in the trailers.)

And Then Nothing was my first as well, so it very likely could be a good gateway drug, though I haven't returned to it in ages. I tend to gravitate toward the two Danson mentions, (Extra) Painful and I Can Hear The Heart.

I think some kind of time dilation is going on too. Am I the only one that caught, or misheard, when Ethan went into the bar looking for Beverly in the first episode that one of the workers in the bar said she's never worked there? Obviously she's really there, but I wonder if things are happening out of order or…

Let's not forget that Wayward Pines already exists in book form (as a trilogy, of course) that is well-regarded on Amazon (garnering 4-4.5 star average reviews.) If this story had been created specifically for TV, I'd be right there with you, but with an existing storyline to follow, I am less skeptical that it's not…

Right on!

I see absolutely no resemblance to RBG, other than being female.

Pontoon Payday

If it's Punch Brothers, they can do whatever they want.

So maybe now my cable company will put the last two episodes on demand? We missed them when it aired and patiently waited for it to show up on demand… and it just never did. We can watch the previous week's episodes all we want. They've been sitting there gathering dust for months now.

I've given Spotify a number of tries, and it sucked every time. The only similarity between Spotify and Google Music is that they host music. Google sorts by artist, then within each artist by album, and then the songs from that album. Spotify sorts by artist, and then by songs from that artist in the order of the…
