Yes, I know he only directed Star Wars. Indeed, I say as much in the post you responded to.

Bravo, Leixcondevil, bravo. I too have a distaste for New Criticism, by the way, though I do have an affinity for Post Structualism, which, yeah, is in favor of dismantling the poem (or whathaveyou) for the inner meanings, but with much less of an authoritative hammer as New Criticism.

I'm with The Guy Who POnts Things Out on the Internet. Just too much there, too much variety. You just have to find it.

Elitist Trash:

The Doors are just not a good band, so no guilt there.

Powers is not good. I mean, it's a guilty pleasure for me, but its constant problem is that it's horrendously overwritten right up until it's horrendously underwritten. Every big climax does indeed feel like it's just been lazily tossed off, while ll of the build-ups are Bendis being overly proud of his ability to use…

Love Citizen Kane, but I do find most of the dialogue a bit too snappy, too precious. Al the dialogue just rings lsightly false to me.

Love 2001, think There Will be Blood is overrated (though still like it). I'm not against a slow ponderous picture, I just feel that TWBB was shot, edited and scored to create this feeling of a slow build to a huge confrontation/climax, and then never delivered on that. Again, I don't need such a thing from all films,…

I loved the original trilogy as a kid, completely agree with Mr. Leonard Pierce now. Uninteresting at best, fucking hack work at worst. George Lucas is really just an awful, awful director who lucked in to doing it right exactly once (American Graffiti). And yeah, I know the second two aren't directed by him. They're…

I'm with Emily—I love you, Nathan, but dismissing all of poetry is just too much. I mean, you picked two things (one medium and one genre) that certainly can lead to some awful, awful pieces of crap (indeed, there's little in the world that can be more grating than bad poetry or bad free jazz), but you can't judge all…

Well, Boeing is still headquartered in Seattle, so supersonic jets are still made there, right? Just because the team is gone doesn't mean the name isn't still appropriate. After all, it's not like they're now called the Oklahoma City Supersonics. That would be just as stupid as the Utah Jazz.

The final cylon…. (BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA SPOILERS)
…apparently isn't Ellen Tigh, it's Robin. At least that seems to be what Marshall posits. Who knew?

Yep.

Yeah, it sounded like the station was dead, but I went online and found NOTHING about it. So I thought something else (I didn't know what) was happening until this news piece.

KCRW, when not broadcasting NPR, is sometimes good, sometimes utter crap. Never pop, but some of the world music shows are just too much. Still, Morning Becomes Elcectic and a couple of other shows are pretty good. (KCRW is also a college station—Santa Monica Community College)

I was wondering what was up
I turned on 103.1 at 9:40 or so. Around 9:55, all of the DJs were there, all talking mournfully and saying goodbye, but not saying WHY they were saying goodbye. Then "My Way" came on, and I had to get out of the car, as I had gotten to work by then. I went online trying to find some info,…

Marlowespade: I know a guy who used that exact picture for his fantasy football team. Hence the confusion.

Marlowespade: Is that you, Ben?

Witches are pretty powerful on the show, but they aren't the most powerful. Those would be…

This is actually answered a bit in Angel…
