I can only speak to regular ABP on Firefox, and while it's not perfect by any means, it is handy to block a specific image from a specific source, such as in the case of a particularly repetitive and inaccurate announcement of the lovely miss Beals' demise.

The Internet sure can. It's called "AdBlock." Works like a charm.

The soundtrack to "Loaded" on the PlayStation is worth a mention. The two tracks by Pop Will Eat Itself were pretty solid, and all of the in-game music (by Neil Biggin, I see as I look it up) was great, too. It's the only video game soundtrack I own, in as much as the game CD was playable on a CD player, and I still…

I've always hated when people pronounce sherbet as "sherbert," and even making it into a Re-Animator pun does little to change that.

I loved that when he was portraying a white supremacist on "Sons of Anarchy" they just added some fake, character-appropriate tattoos and kept most of his original tattoos, so it seemed like his character liked Hitler… and Einstürzende Neubauten.

Can we stop making the "M. Night Shyamalan puts twists in everything" joke? It was funny (and somewhat accurate) after his first two major movies (although neither of his films before that had twists of any sort), but now, with three twists (and I wouldn't call 'The Village' a twist ending, so really only two of his…

Me too. The titular bit in "Shovel Fighter" is amazing.

There was already a movie called "No Escape," back in 1994. It had Ray Liotta and Lance Henriksen in it and it was awesome.

In that way, it is. I feel like it's this aspect that a lot of the sources of the snark it receives on this site seem to disregard.

I always thought we were just having a little fun with the pronunciation, not being ironic, but hey, either way, it's still funny. Rainier's not bad, as far as regional piss-beer goes; pretty comparable to PBR in most respects. I slightly prefer Olympia beer, even though it's now brewed back east and not in its…

Or a former Washington state truck driver with a pretty comprehensive knowledge of his state's geography.

That would be Lake Geneva, WI, not Lake Geneva, WA.

Well, to break down the two words and the states of being to which they refer, neither is ideal. But "retarded," literally, simply means 'impeded in development,' and was more or less without prejudicial connotation at some point as the technical term for someone whose mental development had been, well… retarded.…

Interesting that nobody's mentioned the novel by Larry Brown of the same name from which this movie's been adapted, and how great it is, too. Brown is one of the best southern American novelists (as a genre) of the recent past, and I'd recommend his work to anybody.

The music throughout the series has consistently been full of songs that
both fit the mood of the show perfectly and are great in their own
right (hell, I even have a new-found appreciation for Juice Newton). I
completely lost it when Townes Van Zandt's "Lungs" started playing as
they faded into the credits in episode…

And then the Olympic peninsula, including Aberdeen, is its own weird kind of redneck-y. A kind with no redneck pride or redneck trappings, just redneck craziness.

Well, useless except for open-range cattle ranching, grain farming, apple orchards and vineyards, and a lot of pristine mountain wilderness. But it sure doesn't hold a candle to the usefulness of moping in the rain, drinking excessive coffee, and rubbing elbows with depressive tech-company salary-men that Seattle has…

For the loggers in the cascades, redneck machinists in Spokane, or dry-land wheat farmers down around Yakima, not so much. Seattle and it's youth culture (or it's 90's youth culture, more specifically) actually represent a pretty tiny chunk of the state. Most of the state is too dry and sunny to really get into that…

I'd second that recommendation; "Sunshine Boy" is a great place to start. It's two discs, one alone with his guitar and one with a simple backing band, with a good selection of songs on each. That being said, I started with "High, Low, and In Between" and "The Late, Great…" (which came bundled on a single CD, maybe…
