I'm pleased to see that Tom Waits got the fame he deserves somewhere, even if it wasn't in the US.

I lived in the UK from 2008-2009, when I think Kings of Leon were at their peak there. People I met seemed genuinely surprised I wasn't into them, which I thought was funny since I had literally never heard of them until arriving in the UK, where they were being billed as the "Mega-rock band from the states."

I agree - I actually think the movie looks like fun but the trailer didn't seem all that well put together. Surprising these days when creating trailers has become almost an art form in and of itself, but the cuts seemed jerky and poorly timed and the whole thing went on too long.

I like this idea a lot. My live-in girlfriend may not agree.

@LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus as someone originally from Philly I definitely get it - Philly is like the middle child sandwiched between NYC and DC. It's a great city in its own right, and if it were located almost anywhere else would probably get its fair due, but being where it is, it doesn't.  (Don't even mention

The Phoebe Cates scene is the closest thing to cinematic perfection we may ever achieve.

I was actually objecting more in a general sense to the overuse of the apostrophe thing rather than specifically thinking of the Jem'Hadar - and yeah, I meant that if it's the primary way of establishing something as foreign or alien that it's lazy.

I'd just like to chime in, in full support of your hatred of unnecessary apostrophes. It's a trope that turns up far too often in both sci-fi and fantasy, and is in my opinion a lazy writing tool. If you want to show that someone is different, then have them act and think in ways that demonstrate that. Don't just rely
