I have no idea who Danny Dyer is, even after a google image search, so would I enjoy the movie not realizing the whole "star vehicle" thing?

ld, after using the netflix system for a while you can pretty much see why it makes those choices but they are pretty dumb. As soon as you give Blazing Saddles 5 it'll assume you will also like Dracula Dead and Loving it and Scary Movie 5 or whatever other piece of crap is also technically an absurd comedy.

It's kind of amusing how you're debating the physiological changes that would happen in a man's voicebox if he were suddenly transformed into rock, but you have no problem accepting that he somehow had articulated limbs.

To play Devil's Advocate for a moment, for every kickass original movie like Inception, you get a decidedly non-kickass original piece of crap like Adjustment Bureau.

I completely disagree with the whole argument of this article. The author says he hates to bring in baggage, and then completely bases his opinion on his baggage. It's bullshit.

FUCK YES MOANIN MAMBO

I've seen the Mingus Big Band five or six times, never ceases to amaze. Mingus must have been a serious influence to a lot of musicians to be able to maintain one of the best jazz bands ever for decades AFTER his death.

I prefer Let My Children Hear Music, mainly because that kind of crazy jazz/classical fusion is what got me to major in music composition as a wee teenager. "The shoes of the fisherman's wife are some jive-ass slippers" and "don't be afraid, the clowns afraid, too" are not only two of the best song titles ever,…

I wonder if Steve is getting some hot 18-year-old tail based on how everyone that age loved him as a kid.

This prejudice against Mupponics makes me sad.

I used to watch Digimon with my son, and it's about 1000% less annoying than Pokemon, so it wins. He ditched it and got into Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh as her got older, probably because the other kids were into it at the time.

The movie Rocky kind of makes Philly look pretty shitty too. Pretty much everywhere but the final bout looks like the warsaw ghetto.

The Nova episodes with David Pogue should be taught in media classes as the best way to take an extraordinarily interesting and even amazing topic and ruin it by having a douche host.

MFSP, how does the fact that Patterson bullshit and starfucker memoirs dominate the market have anything whatsoever to do with the Kindle? That's been going on for decades. And I don't know if you've used a Kindle, but the only books I've seen that are less than $10 are the classics and stuff that's free from Project…

I'm taking an economics class and an accounting class right now, so that debt-to-ratio should tell me something, but I forget what. I generally just cram right before the exam.

When Circuit City was shutting down they barely discounted anything. They would put big discount stickers all over everything but still charge prices that were higher than internet prices, and in some case higher than other neighborhood stores, just in the hope that with all the bargain-shopping traffic, some people…

I liked Borders because they had a large manga section. My son likes manga and it was nice to be able to thumb through before buying and make sure there wasn't too much t&a or too many horrific beheadings (1, maybe 2 if done tastefully).

Is that why I get the same "I need to get the fuck out of here immediately" feeling when entering both B&N and GameStop?

There's a Borders right across the street from my house, and I like it more than Barnes & Noble. Unfortunately it's one of the ones on the chopping block. Now I'll have to find somewhere else to look through the $300 cookbooks to try and memorize a recipe until I can get home and write it down.

I'm not trying to be down on Holmes, to be clear. I'm just saying it's really not fair that every movie or series based on the books should deserve extra scrutiny for class and quality, over whether it's fun and whether the mystery is interesting/plausible.
