But her concerns were environmental: wanting to "Save the World". Those are the reasons of someone who is giving up something they enjoy to try and serve the greater good. I'm surprised that she went 22 years on such a tenuous reason. The fervent vegetarians find meat physically disgusting, and liken it to torture.…

They did take her to a nice restaurant, which almost certainly uses humanely raised and slaughtered animals.

Why did she even have friends that aren't vegetarians? If she would have insisted on rigid adherence to the doctrine she could have remained a vegetarian. That's how meat eaters get you. They befriend you, and trick you into going somewhere that serves primarily meat. They probably weren't even real friends. Now…

Which is why he creates the character of his fake brother to write the ending that he didn't want to write himself.

Such a terrible movie. I kept waiting for it to do something interesting with the rather unique premise it had set up. But it never happened. I think it tried to be a comedy. I heard lots of things that were meant to be jokes, but had no actual humour behind them. In a sold out theatre, I only heard one person…

I think someone missed a key point in Adaptation. The third act wasn't inspired by brother Donald. It was written by brother Donald, in a way. Donald and Charlie are the same person. If you recall Donald's script, The Three, the cop killer and victim are, nonsensically, all the same person, and at the end, the…

The thing with Crash is you have to look at all the moves that were better, but not even nominated that year. "Diary of a Mad Black Woman", "Miss Congeniality 2", "Bad New Bears", and "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo". Not only was it not as good a film as the other nominees, it wasn't even as good as Deuce Bigalow.

I don't know why people are surprised that Pearl Jam had more lasting sales than Nirvana. While both came from the nebulous genre of "grunge", Nirvana was closer to the punk side, and Pearl Jam was closer to the classic rock side. PJ was much more radio friendly, and a much safer bet for people who want their music…

It was the Curse of Shuffle. 

Sorry, the correct worst Ween song to make love to is "Big Fat Fuck" from Craters of the Sac.  Also, my friend learned the hard way not to play this song while your wife is preggers.

That happens sometimes when humans play music instead of programing computers to play sounds at perfect intervals.

How about an entire album of songs

Sucks to be you.

But you still have full albums/tracks available on You Tube, BandCamp, SoundCloud, for free.  Further, many are happy to play live shows for free.  Spotify is only one way that musicians are willing to use to get their music out for public consumption for little to no compensation.

Obviously the major labels would like to have better control over the supply, but I don't think that they kept supply artificially low.  It was technology that kept supply low.  How many garage bands from the '60s were able to distribute their music worldwide?  The only way to do that was through a label, but the…

Working artists aren't entitled to make a full time living at their art.  They are certainly able to try, but they aren't owed a living because they feel like they deserve it as an artist.  There are too many "artists" for that to be possible.

The basic principles of capitalism at work.  Technology has increased the supply of music.  Before recording was invented, live music was the only supply.  Then recording was available only to the large corporations who could afford massive amounts of expensive equipment.  Now any half-wit with a few hundred bucks can…

Which is exactly why I quit using Pandora.  I put in bands I like, and it fills my station with songs I dont' like.  When I tell it I don't like a song, it plays it for me again anyway.
