Agree somewhat. Silent Alarm was one of my favorite albums of the decade when it came out, but I have a strong pull to hit skip every time one of the songs come up on my iPod nowadays. Of course that could be simply because I listened to that CD so much when it came out that I'm still sick of it, so I'm not quite

Oliver Stone does realize
that if we were all equal, he'd make about $30,000 a year and have a shitty 9-5 to job like the rest of us, right? That he wouldn't be able to do stuff like, I don't know, fly a private jet all over South America wining and dining the Presidents of major countries?

"Racist" is the new "unAmerican"
First off, I'd like to say Sean did a great job with this interview. He let her say everything she wanted to say, but he didn't let her go on completely unchecked and he was able to do in a way that didn't come off as attacking her or being mean-spirited in any way. I was impressed.

I didn't think I Am Legend was great in its first 2/3, but I definitely thought it was a good, entertaining blockbuster. Then that last 1/3 came and it became one of my most hated movies of recent times. Everything about it enrages me:

You really need to get on that whole "I've never seen The Shield" thing. Like now.

I don't think he ordered it, but isn't it common sense that that's what they'd do?

Yikes
This movie has a 6% rating at Rotten Tomatoes and an 18 rating at Metacritic. Wow.

Double Standard
So a group that didn't care when Islam was being mocked and really cared when Christianity was being mocked is mad at another group because they didn't care when Christianity got mocked and really cared when Islam got mocked?

I'll say it again: I WANTED A SHOW ABOUT CHARACTERS AND NOT ABOUT MYTHOLOGY. I DIDN'T GET IT. Well, actually I did get it….until Season 4 started. I remember telling people, while S4 was going on, that I liked Season 3 more than 4 because 3 seemed to still be focused on the characters while Season 4 seemed entirely

Okay, I'll own up to my mistake. The reason was that I read something different into what Christian was saying, more in line of "Your emotions were real and you all spent time together, what does it really matter if it was real or not?" Similarly to the Truman Show when he asks "Was any of it real?" and received the

Two Hours and Twenty Minutes of Awesomeness….
10 minutes of the most crushing disappointment I think a human being can feel for something that is, in the end, nothing but a stupid piece of entertainment that has absolutely no effect on their lives whatsoever.

At this point, it is what it is, but that example the Lost writers made of it being like asking what happened before the Big Bang is so dumb, it's beyond insulting to the fans.

Damn, I completely forgot all about the Hurley Bird!

I really am only interested in the major ones (which is why I get upset when Lost apologists try to act like anyone demanding "answers" is an anti-social loser who is demanding the exact mythology behind where Jack buys his t-shirts or why Hurley doesn't lose weight—they've haven't even answered questions that formed

Happy Endings for Everyone!
This made me once again cling to the theory that the Flash-Sideways will end up being the ending to the show.

I'd just chalk it up to another Question with No Answer.

I am getting a deeper and deeper feeling (Well, the terribleness of this episode added actual hard evidence, so it's not entirely feeling) that we are heading for a epic disappointment that's going to make the reaction to the BSG finale look like glowing praise. One of the big reasons? Cuse and Lindelof already seem

Love the post Dowd. I feel the same way. I mean I'm about as cynical a Lost fan as you can possibly get, but the shear stupidity and incompetence of the writers in this episode shocked even me.

This Boggles My Mind
The thing that amazes me about this is just how much time and work the guy spent doing this. I mean he memorized EVERY LINE, most of which didn't really even need memorizing. It must have taken him days, if not weeks. He obviously worked very hard at it.

And I'm Guessing This Is More Money For No New Content
If this allowed Hulu to negotiate with more studios and more shows to bring in a lot more episodes, I think $10 per month would be more than worth it.
