@On_2: True, but they are connected to one another. And yeah, it's still kicking. No Religious Sex though. And honestly, St. Mark's Pl. isn't too bad on the corporate takeover front. There's no Gap there anymore and there wasn't a Starbucks in it, only out on Astor Pl, which used to have three at one time but now is…

@Muuray-Present: Don't spread your anger at Rabin. Spread it at the real jagoff, Josh Modell:

@Miller: Well, to be somewhat fair, it's a double major. Unfortunately, my other major is sociology, which may be even more dubious than journalism for finding jobs. I have one more year left to go, so I'll see what the future holds for me.

While I'm currently in Manhattan, I have no problems with the outer boroughs, with the exception of Staten Island, and would gladly want to move any of them. Sunset Park, or any of the neighborhoods off of the Orange lines or R line, sound like good solid places to live. Obviously, Williamsburg, or at least central…

It's not likely, but I still would not want to bet that it's completely invulnerable. It definitely has been going through a rough period in terms of laying off reporters and there's still this open ended quesition of whether it paid/free hybrid for it's paper will work. As someone who is majoring in journalism and…

@Meatwad: To be a little on the pedantic side, The Little Mermaid actually isn't the best example. It opened on Broadway in January of 2008 and closed a little over a year later, in August of 2009 (dates courtesy of ibdb, because I wouldn't have known them off the top of my head). That's not bad, but when you have…

@littlealex: I wouldn't go so far to slag off Broadway entirely. I mean, I agree with you that, on the whole, it's usually a bit better to see Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway. But I still think that the right show can be really good. I haven't heard the best of things about Chicago, with many people saying that it…

@Montypark: I'd actually say Brooklyn stands a pretty decent shot of being considered the heart of rock' n roll, with the caveat that a lot of indie rock coming out of there doesn't really have a whole lot of roll to it.

Another Only In The 80's Kind Of Thing
Only in the 80's could Men At Work catapult to having a number one album primarily on the strength of playing up being from Australia.

What Everybody Else Saw Or Did Thread
On Friday, I saw The Shaggs: Philosophy Of The World, an Off-Broadway musical telling of the story of The Shaggs that Sean O'Neal mentioned in a newswire awhile ago. It was really good, with some really excellent music and some very moving performances. The second act, as true to…

Law And Order: LA and Harry's Law
Even though it's not officially confirmed, I also read on TVByTheNumbers have a source saying that Law And Order: LA has been canceled and Harry's Law renewed. If this proves to be true, it makes me sad that they canceled the original L&O, if only as a reliable series for seemingly…

Elvis Costello
In the case of Elvis Costello, I think we have a musician who has shifted styles in his older age but not to cash in on any trends, but more because he has such a wide ranging musical taste and love for so many different styles that he sees no reason not to pay tribute. While I haven't minded his…

Honestly, it feels even worse knowing that Noah Baumbach was originally slated to direct. It still could've raped your childhood, but at least it'd be raped in an interesting way. I honestly wonder what a Noah Baumbach kid's film would be like now. Maybe we can get him to adapt Curious George.

I don't know, I personally liked him quite a bit in The Social Network. He does a good smarmy. From the previews of Yogi Bear, which are the only things I saw of it, he does a spot on Boo Boo, which has to count for something. And for those who still watch SNL, he's apparently very funny whenever he hosts. So, I…

What are people's thoughts on Wales? It's the one part of Great Britain which I really don't know as much about, or really know as much about Welsh culture in general. Is it worth going to/experiencing?

@Jim: Really, people quote entire scenes of Blackadder? I always thought it was just Monty Python that was the go to for quoting British comedy at length. I never thought Blackadder was well known enough for that kind of nerdiness.

My Primary Reason For Anglophilia
For me, I think a big reason I'd consider myself anglophile is the accents. I know that there isn't just one English accent, but all the permutations I've heard of it sound very sweet to my ears. To spend time in a country where just about everyone sounds insanely awesome to listen to…

@Mr. Greene and Morgendorffer: I also remember the episode you're talking about, and what was really interesting about that is that it was an episode that involved the entire TGIF lineup at the time having a major crossover. So, it started out with Sabrina having this transportation power to send people back to other…

@: I'm in a Journalism Ethics and Media Law class right now and we just did the section of copyright. From my understanding, you can't copyright the band, only the songs and the albums, and those will go on being protected for as long as the band members are alive and for 70 years after they die, so there's no problem…

While I really dislike the music of his previous band Midtown (haven't heard Cobra Starship), I can't hate their lead singer, Gabe Saporta. In the town where he and I are from, seemingly everyone knows him or has a connection to someone who knows him. And by all accounts, he and his family are genuinely good people.…
