Great new column!
Looking forward to future editions of this.

Good points danrimage, I can understand your POV. Spielberg's change of direction at the end of the film ruined a lot of the emotional character development (I agree that Hank's "earn this" line is incredibly vindictive and changed the tone of the film in a negative way), but I think that Upham's scene at the end is …

@danrimage - clearly you missed my point. I understand what the movie is about - because he redeems himself in the end. What I was saying is that he did such a great job with that role and I can't stand the character BECAUSE of his cowardice.

30 Rock is f'n fantastic
But it will take some genius on the show to beat the scene shown above.

I don't hate him, but I hate some of his characters, but that's because he did a great job of it. Example: Upham in Saving Private Ryan - every time I watch it, I hate that cowardly little shit more and more.

Best app?
Agree with Noel it might have to be MLB At Bat… being able to listen to any radio broadcast at anytime home or away? The Uecke!

oh yeah, you're right. my mistake. the sound and atmosphere was so loud and amped up it may as well have been riverside.

GhaleonQ - I'm embarrassed on behalf of those shmucks to quickly wrote these guys off on their name. Granted, there are a ton of douchey people in Madison thanks to UW.

Nice to see some love for techno
Techno and electronic are under-appreciated and misunderstood genres. The genre is often slapped onto music that doesn't fit. Glad Andy is here to straighten us all out.

At least Kid Dada remembered his starring role as a method actor researching life on the streets on Arrested Development.

Milwaukee props
Just would like to point out that while Wilco played a 2 shows in 2 days at the Riverside in Milwaukee earlier this year, they also took the photo of the cover art there. It's proof that Milwaukee isn't blue collar anymore… it's hipster camel collar.

I heard that as well. Hooray for the magic of Twitter…

troll!

Great stuff
Say what you will about his personal life, but he made some incredible music that hasn't aged. "Thriller" can still be played all the way through and I know all the words. It was the first album I remember pulling from my dad's collection and playing over and over again.

Elliot Smith
After watching that video, I was reminded that Miss Misery lost to My Heart Will Go On. That's misery.

Fear not… CNN has already corrected their mistake.

CNN = journalism excellence
"Entertainer Michael Jackson was taken to a hospital on Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest, sources briefed on the situation told CNN.
A Los Angeles fire official told CNN that paramedics arrived at Michael Jackson's home after a 911 call.

Surprised?
If anyone here is actually surprised by this, then they haven't paid attention to summer popcorn blockbuster box office performances for the past 15 years.

Quote list…
This is a very quotable movie whether you love it or hate it… i'll start with my favorite.

They are not good at all. They have their guts intact, and taste awful. The taste is also impossible to get rid of, it just stays in the back of your mouth. No good…
