I'm the same way. I've tried and failed to slog through the first season waiting for all the supposedly awesome alternate universe stuff to kick in. I need to get back into it at some point and enjoy all the supposed awesome.

Agreed, but Lost is ultimately terrible and frustrating. I'd recommend folks wanting to get Lost out of the way enjoying the much shorter and more satisfying Firefly or Doctor Who (reboot version) instead.

I hope you've since gotten into Morrison's New X-Men and other decent Marvel runs. I'm no fan of the New 52 but there had been some really good stuff in DC and Vertigo prior to that mess cropping up.

Some men aren't interested in anything pop-culture. Some men just want to see the entertainment burn.

I misread "Extreme Smuggling" as "Extreme Snuggling" and was extremely confused for a moment there.

Actually, yes. He's making sure that by putting out his version of the song for purchase that A) Sir Mix-A-Lot gets royalties and B) any profits he makes will go to charity.

A "mental midget" would be someone who is unable to ascertain the difference between stealing a completely original musical arrangement, thereby causing theft of intellectual property, and covering the original version of a song without any changes to instrumentals or style.

I can think of several things that you've demonstrated you are "by nature" in this thread but "right" or "funny" sure as hell aren't two of them.

Wow, someone actually using "nerd" as a serious insult? How are you using the internet if you're still living in 1982?

They stole the original instrumental arrangement he created for the cover. If you were an indie artist and somebody stole your original instrumental property without giving you even the tiniest bit of credit or payment, I think you might be a bit of a drama queen too.

You're "not sure that anything all that bad happened to Jonathan Coulton"? Wow. Do all the indie music artists in your world dream of having their original instrumentals stolen by a popular sitcom and receiving zero credit or financial recompense in return? If so, I don't want to live there.

You do know that Jonathan Coulton does other songs that aren't covers of Baby Got Back, right? And that he created a new song each week for a year once, which he then released for free?

Chris Hardwick: "I AM THE ONE WHO TELLS KNOCK-KNOCK JOKES!"

I remember Hard Candy as the film with the scene that made my testicles try to crawl back up inside my body.

Thank you!

Wait - "a son idolizing his blind father and bemused by his
mother’s newfound adolescence who watches his family come closer
together post-divorce;”?

Watching that compilation would probably take the better part of a three day weekend . . . yo.

So, what DID Michael Jordan say about greatness? Shit is gonna bother me.
