This one looks like its gonna be much better than the first one. I'd buy this. Ditto. I bought the first one and liked it well enough, but this looks to be a lot more viewer-friendly.

What it is - I think - is that the Oscars are just connected to Hollywood and the community of insiders. That's why you see these "payback" awards - it's an attempt to redress specific issues within the community. Yeah, Roger Ebert likened it to som…

CRASH IS A PIECE OF SHIT. NOT JUST FOR THE CRAPPY ACTING AND THE OH SO COMPLEX OVERLAPPING STORY LINES--SIGH--BUT ALSO FOR THE FACT THAT FUCKING ASSTARD MIDDLEBORW AMERICAN CRACKER WALKS OUT THINKING THEY JUST STEPPED UP THEIR RACIAL AWARENESS GAME-…

I think Children of Men should have won for cinematography and editing.

Orlando doens't stand a chance against the DP. However, it will be worth watching to see Howard bring it. That guy's a beast. The Pistons swept the Magic in the regular season. Pistons in 5. As a Magic fan, I'm finding it difficult to root for '…

Office Space made me double think going into Boeing/Lockheed. Instead, I took a software gig with a small company. Less pay comparatively, but nicer surroundings/happier vibe, and if I ever get sick of the work, I know it's because of the work and…

Yeah, outside of a small font change, gaudy buttons at the top, and more of a formal nested frame thing, it isn't a huge change. I prefer the older one, but at least this is managable. If we want to talk about GODAWFUL site makeovers this year, le…

i went to the orlando show a couple times a bunch of years ago and it wasnt bad but not that great. cant imagine it got better...but you never know. Yeah, I used to live there and went multiple times - not worth going out of one's way for.

I look at it as a harmless pastime like stamp collecting -- it is a trivial detail that it involves music, and I believe its impact on the consumption of music in commercial forms is neutral or positive. Eventually the music industry will accept thi…

This all just reminded me of how much I miss Kilborn on TDS. It's bad enough TDS morphed slowly from pretty sweet lampooning into preachy worldview reinforcement...the world didn't need a conservative counterpart with lower production values and sh…

Then he dunked over that 7-footer at the Olympics and that was My favorite part was Garnett not even bothering to go back down the court, because immediate celebration was

Kamaal is supposed to be properly issued w/ bonus tracks in April.

Shying away from the topic of disrespect, it's always sad to see anyone screw up their life and those around them but the media comparing Anna Nicole Smith to Marilyn Monroe seems at the least retarded. Jayne Mansfield would probably be a little clo…

Some Ricci Rucker mix - I forgot the name since it came as a plain orange CD-R w/ only his sig on it, and he's released like 10 of these.

I thought the radio host was a decent way to balance things out. He represents other christian folk who aren't as extreme as the evangical nutjobs, which the film focuses on. And by doing so, there is a counter-motif in the narrative which eliminate…

the filmmakers took every chance possible to insult the audience's intelligence. How so? My main gripe was with the bunch of "Hey, that's crazy!" quips from the annoying Air America dude who was propped up as some 'token reasonable liberal christi…

It was a good topic, but shitty documentary - the filmmakers took every chance possible to insult the audience's intelligence.

with whole wheat squares and kashi style grapenuts and raisins all about textures. I'm split between that and their Heart to Heart brand.

I totally agree - lots of spam and little fun. Not that different from damn near every other form of online communication that has caught on with the general populus.

semi-OT, but I've been going through the Jayne Mansfield boxset this week, and finally heard the source of the "it's to be sung by three chickens" vocal sample that starts off DJ Maru - Maru's Sketch mix. Tony Randall in Will Success Spoil Rock Hun…

Warlock with Fonda and Quinn (and directed by Dmytryck, known for noirs as well) would also be a good choice in that vein, but would definitely be considered too boring for most college kids, I think.

to be devil's advocate and because i genuinely want to hear your opinion - how would you say Phyllis in Double Indemnity is morally ambiguous? I wouldn't. She does a bangup job of the standard femme fatale - beautiful, her manipulations/lies believ…

I can???t say I found Night of the Hunter to be very moralistic ??? guess it all depends on one???s morals! I think film noirs are about (personal) nightmares or dark fairy tales in one way or another. A dead father with a criminal past, a secret wo…

I love love love Night of the Hunter, but wonder if the moralistic, (dark) fairy tale vibe clashes with what O-Dub listed he was going for in the initial post.

Kiss Me Deadly and Pickup on South St. are good for the communist paranoia angle, particularly the latter for having a character who is unmotivated by the war secrets and is motivated by his own skewed code of honor. (He only ends up doing "the righ…

I own Som Records in Washington, DC. Photo below is from last week (two friends hanging out after hours). We're on the same block as the Black Cat Club and Cafe Saint-Ex. Come by and say high. Som Records I went here (with one of my soulstrut s…

Best Picture Nominations:[/b] Babel please be serious that was slathered with a on the side Babel is this year's Crash. "THE ACADEMY IS REALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE BY VOTING FOR THIS FILM WITH A MESSAGE" Ugh.

transcode = listed already? Transcode is when you take a file that's already lossy (e.g., MP3, OGG, non-lossless WMA, etc.) and encode it again with another lossy algorithm. Like, if you took a 128 bitrate MP3 and then encoded that MP3 into a 192 …
