McCartney Derangement Syndrome?

@Automocar:disqus If you watch the extras on the TNG BluRays (I'm thinking it's the S3 ones, because I just watched those), they mention that those teeth really made it a bitch to talk, and Dorn basically never got a line out on the first take, although he always nailed it in the end (and had excellent timing).…

That is a long running British comedy problem. Douglas Adams had to fight really hard to keep the Hitchhiker's Guide TV series from having a laugh track. The BBC made them record one for the first episode (by playing it to a studio audience after completion) anyway, but somehow he convinced them that it was awful, not…

@avclub-aa13379de5ab83d16cd1c4fb5f6bc9e1:disqus "one of the few Tim Hortons on this side of the Canadian border"?
As someone from central Ohio who lives in upstate NY now, you can't throw a stone without hitting a Tim Hortons in either place. It was owned for a long time by Dublin, OH (a suburb of Columbus) based…

Ohio is kind of a cross roads culturally and linguistically. Some parts of it fit that description exactly. Some don't at all. Columbus is a fairly liberal midwestern city where most people have a standard midwestern accent. Go 45 minutes SE and you've got preppers with confederate flags who "warsh" the car and…

As @avclub-1c63926ebcabda26b5cdb31b5cc91efb:disqus points out below, Ommegang beers come in corked 750ml (0.79qt / 1.59pt) bottles (although their regular beers also come in 4 packs of capped 12oz bottles as well). Some of them are pretty high gravity too (up to 10%ABV), although the Iron Throne is only 6.5%. I'll…

No, Ommegang makes good beer.

@avclub-0c3e626d1a287cdc48c77515c8dcc243:disqus For a lot of that season they put her in a giant coat with lots of pockets full of stuff, while shooting her above the waist most of the time. It was probably a relief to have two episodes where she could just be pregnant and not have to shoot around it.

To the best of my knowledge, Paul's only Beatles drumming is "Back in the USSR", "Dear Prudence" (both recorded during a period where Ringo had quit), and "The Ballad of John and Yoko", which was just John and Paul while George and Ringo were on vacation, but John wanted the song out fast.

He's the one who does backing vocals. But also, like the rest of them he seems to play guitar, keyboards, drums, other assorted percussion as necessary. If you watch concert videos, all three guitarists are pretty busy. Half the time Ed O'Brien is the one actually, you know, playing guitar while Thom Yorke just sings…

::SMACK:: That's a diaeresis, not an umlaut. An umlaut causes a vowel change, a diaeresis indicates that adjacent vowels are pronounced separately, not as a diphthong (or in the case of Spanish ü, that it's pronounced at all).

@emberglance:disqus I meant that Visconti and Eno co-produced, not Bowie and Eno. I can see how the way I phrased it doesn't work.

I'm with you on Outside too. I do skip the spoken word tracks though. So maybe I'm STILL WRONG.

@avclub-c2b87f0b87817b25b09f37693ff84353:disqus Tony Visconti always produces Bowie's albums (I think "Let's Dance" with Nile Rogers is the sole exception, and the Berlin albums were co-produced with Eno, of course). I doubt he'd do a comeback album after a decade and not use his preferred producer.

@Dikachu:disqus Gotta update that to Rand Paul now. Paul Sr. retired at the end of last term (finally!)

The concept of Voyager was a strong one…and could have been done right
in a way where it would have been sort of a Star Trek BSG (reboot). But Paramount needed ways to get casual viewers to turn into the UPN network.

Yeah, instead of doing his standard type of opening monologue, Serling appears beforehand to explain that, just standing on an empty sound stage instead of being in the scene.

Truly, no one liked it much. Super Dimension Calvary Southern Cross  was actually cancelled in Japan and if you watch the Japanese version (which was released on DVD a while back (probably 10 years ago)) the story just stops. It's also the one where the Robotech story and the Japanese story are the most divergent…

I have a ton of Robotech toys (much to my wife's chagrin). There are several different scales. There are some that are pretty small (maybe 4-5" tall), but there are also things like Zentradi Battlepods and Invid Shocktroopers that are made to have an action figure put in them. I also have a transformable VF-1A from…
