Ah hell, just cause I love lists (apologies to Rip Rizzuto and his format):

Yeah, me too. I had been a fan of The Bends, but OK Computer blew my mind and changed the way I listened to music (as did, I'm a little ashamed to admit, Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here around the same time. If I'm honest with myself, I'd probably have to admit Shine On You Crazy Diamond changed me just as much as…

Aw, I feel so special, being flamed. I'm now a part of the family!

Youth without Youth
Have you seen Youth Without Youth?

That's not right. Shows usually write their last script at their end of February, and shoot it middle of March. Next season script don't get started until June.

To clarify, we paradoxically can't help but see it as more fake because of the slight ways in which the near-real-seeming animation is off (stiffness to the facial movement, a certain sheen to the skin, whathaveyou). If the technology ever got good enough that these little problems were fixed, the thought is that we'd…

It's not that we feel that it stands in for humans. And really, though it's the oft used term, it's not that we're necessarily "creeped out." It's just that as we get closer and closer to photorealism in image, when the animation and movement is off it just doesn't look…right. We're more easily accepting of something…

Battestar
If the season's been shut down, will we get an abbreviated season five, then? I hate to think the story will remain unfinished, and as I understand it the only reason it's ending is because Ronald D. Moore simply felt he would b finished telling the story after four seasons.

"Excalibur," with all it's sex, nudity and violence, was rated PG. Apparently the ratings board has a soft spot for old tales of Brittania. Either that or it's another point in how incredibly arbitrary ratings are.

Post title
When I saw the title of this post I thought Rogan would be starring in a Smith directed adaptation of the book Porno, the sequel of Trainspotting. Which would have been a really, really weird idea.

Karma isn't solely a Buddhist concept, and actually belongs much more to Hinduism.

I've always thought of "Knives Out" as the worst song on Amnesiac. Yes, even worse than "Pulk Pull Revolving Doors" or "Morning Bell Amnesiac." On the other side, my two favorite songs on the album are "Like Spinning Plates" and "Life in a Glasshouse." Hell, I even like how "Hunting Bears" leads into "Like Spinning…

Also
Because it would be impossible to make a better story out of Metroid than the one in Super Metroid. Nothing could be more jaw dropping, shocking, sad or satisfying (much less all at once) as the Mother Brain fight. And no one would have the balls to put music over it as demented as that music is.

Yes, that's how it happened. Also, they were living with each other in that episode, hence Marshall being able to just yell out "Lily…" and she walks in.

I don't know. They're more libertarian than right wing. Being WGA themselves, I doubt they'll do too much lampooning.

Triple post, even. Yikes.

You work from hope? That's so sweet.

Sorry about the double post. Glitchy comment boards.

"It'd be like the makers of Rush Hour deciding that nobody would want to see an action movie starring a guy who sounds like a hysterical 10-year-old girl and having Barry White come in and dub all of Chris Tucker's lines ("Aw, yeah, do you understand the sexy, sexy words coming out of my mouth?")"
