  • How about unintentionally hilarious films like Black Belt Jones and any Uwe Boll movie? All of my friends and I were crying from how (hilariously) bad Alone in the Dark was.
  • man I love Rushmore...but it's not really that "funny" of a movie. That's another pickle - do you consider great films (e.g., Rushmore, The Philadelphia Story, The Apartment, etc.) that fit in the fairly broad definition of comedy, or do you focus p…
  • This list is way too high on movies made in the last five years. I would say no Shrek, Zoolander, and Anchorman at all. Well, consider the primary audience who actually watched this special. With that in mind, it isn't horrible. Frankly, I'd rathe…
  • As an aside, is there something inherently more valuable about an album-oriented artist or genre vs. a singles-oriented one? Is the album format the end-all be-all standard for "important" recorded music output?
  • That All Good Funk Alliance/Swamburger collab album is a nice companion piece to the new Coup album. The new KRS-1 is better than Keep Right, but that's not saying much. The new Radioinactive isn't as epic as Free Kamal, but nice enough. Sway's T…

  • Similarly, I remember loving Justice System's debut album (chiefly for Summer in the City, in retrospect), and wishing they would follow up on that. When I found out they actually did about a decade later and bought it, it was quite the disappointm…
  • I would bet my next paycheck that if those Steady B and Main Source CDs were put back in circulation next week those ebay prices would soon plummet. A lot of (mostly) nerdy underground stuff I had original issues of that went upwards of 100 for (L'R…
  • If Iron Fist happens, I wonder if it'll deal with Heroes for Hire/Luke Cage at all.
  • there's been a script for this for at least 12 years..... THE WATCHMEN The Incredibles is about as close as you're gonna get to an end product of Watchmen, movies-wise.
  • 1. DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - He's The DJ...I'm The Rapper 2LP 2. I think my first concert ever with Imperial Teen circa What Is Not To Love? My first arena show was Wu-Tang Clan/Killarmy circa Wu-Tang Forever. 3. Mike Patton
  • One of the million reasons why I love Office Space is that it's one of the few movies/TV shows that actually portray a real operating system/comp in use.
  • I hear there is a bonus CD 70+ min that comes with the COOL CALM & COLLECTED CD is this true??? I ordered it from this fine site. No bonus CD.
  • Do not move to Fishtown. Its like someone put a trailer park in the middle of the city. Shit is nasty. I had a friend who lived there for a while and had a brothel across the street. Some unhappy customers got more then they bargained for from t…

  • I think it's more like a bill plus. I commuted for a summer internship several days a week a couple years ago, and ended up getting a monthly pass, which would definitely be your best bet. Shit came out of my pocket, so I was making runs to PREX on …

  • It's because of rockbox that 1 - I ended up going on ebay to get a refurbished iRiver 120. 2 - That I'll actually consider an ipod when the iRiver gives out. Gapless playback for LAME-encoded MP3s, FLAC playback, faster bootup/better battery usage…
  • Justice System - Summer in the City Heatwave - Beat Your Booty Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop The Clifford Gilbert Rhythm Combination - I Wish I Was A Motown Star Depth Charge - Goal
  • I like how Cho likes being referred to as the ultimate fag hag. Wait, no I don't, what the fuck? That was a major faux pas.
  • I think Mel Brooks is the only overtly bigoted humor I appreciate. It doesn't come off to me so smarmy and hollow like Silverman does, and I feel a genuine "pointing out the absurd but sad reality of racism/sexism" undercurrent in his work that jus…
  • who did Keanu play in the movie? All I remember is the big brother from Blossom, Brooke Sheilds and Mr. T...oh and Bill from Bill & Ted a great way to get an all region DVD player is to look at the bargai basement Crazy Gideon type spots. Many …
  • http://tcmdb.com/title/title.jsp?scarlettTitleId=16761 Vote, people, vote!
  • Freaked. The VHS is on some grail status got a dub somewhere... Mr T as the bearded lady = Great movie, and Keanu's finest role to date - A 2 Disc special edition came out last summer. Also, some mentioned in the thread (like the Jodorowsky…
  • So, that Franklin/NHL strip is apparently real, including a reply from Schulz himself when asked about it...puts a damper on things. http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000485.php
  • The word "irregardless". Apparently it is somewhat accepted in "common speech", it's just stoopid tho, "not without regard"??? fuck outta here. Yeah, it's an odd double negative, but it's being used more and more. I don't think I've ever hea…

  • But speaking of this, I forgot a much bigger pet peeve than the misuse of "begging the question"--the massive misuse of the word "literally." This one really annoys the shit out of me because nowadays, people use it to mean the exact opposite of wha…
    in Pet Peeves Comment by dgriot March 2006
  • Also, the misuse of the term "begging the question" annoys me, and 95 percent of people who use the phrase misuse it. A small part of me agrees with you, but generally, I just think it's the nature of language to evolve and not stay static. Some w…

  • Man, if something like mythtv could be run on something as aesthetically pleasing and cheap as a macmini, I'd be all about it. Until then, I'll continue to use the old laptop to play movies/music/show weather and traffic info in the morning on the …
  • I liked it on King of the Hill when Yakov Smirnov bought a joke from Bobby.
  • It's funny because for a time I really dug the Shrevie character because I identified with him on some levels, and it took several girl friends to point out how disturbing and fucked up that character really was. Now, he's like a cautionary tale.
  • And here I thought a modified Diner quote would've been good for a chuckle about PB fetishism. OH HOW WRONG I WAS.
