No, but don't see how it's any more or less relevant than Tyrol-Callie, Starbuck-Anders or Apollo-Dualla. There are characters hooking up all over the place, and no it usually doesn't have a real bearing on plot. But hey, the whole cast thinks the character is gay, the actor is aware enough of...
What do you mean? They're ALL shoehorned in. Who knew Roslin was banging President Adar? That Adama might have been responsible for the attack with his undercover mission? That Tyrol had a religious upbringing? That Apollo and Starbuck hooked up on New Caprica?- most of the storylines introduce...
Just because Gaeta hasn't been dating up until now, doesn't mean that it would be out of left field. Could be he just hadn't met the right guy, or his significant other was on one of the nuked colonies, or simply he was more wrapped up in saving humanity or whatever. But after the Pegasus crew...
Hah! I always knew Gaeta was gay. And not just cuz I'm gay and think Alessandro Juliani is really cute or anything. But that documentary episode when a kinda drunk Gaeta shows off his tatoo- gay! Funny to think the cast is down with that idea too. Would love to see the outtakes Katee Sackoff is...
Yeah, I'm trying to be fair about it- the tree did damage to the bumper und the trunk lid, but I told the guy who hit me that the trunk part was pre-existing- kinda omitted the damage to the bumper section in that conversation...
Ok, I had originally started this thread because I had messed up my back bumber by backing up into a tree in a parking lot. I didn't have the money to repair it so it has been cracked for a few weeks now. Yesterday, I got rear-ended by another driver who hit the exact same spot- totally his...
Ok, haven't seen the new episode but saw the deleted scene online, and they did it again! Using Philip Glass music! I like Philip Glass, especially the Mishima score- but hearing it in BSG is distracting. Bear McCreary is a really talented composer- can't they just stick to his stuff?
So has anyone looked back on the episode where Hiro meets the waitress? Does she seem to recognize him? If he didn't give her the phrase book, then who does? - I have no Tivo, dammit so I'm at the mercy of the NBC website...
It's not just the type of pie, but the preparation. My faves - pecan, but only when it's real pecany. Don't care for those with the thin layer of pecans and a thick layer of the gooey filling. also- grandma's cherry pie. She always did the cross-hatched top crust. That always makes a...
Fantoma is finally releasing Vol. 1 of the Kenneth Anger films! They announced this 4 or 5 years ago, and I had pretty much given up hope that it would actually happen.
Oh, another great one I forgot to mention- Paul Schrader's "Mishima". It was written and directed by Schrader, but had a Japanese cast and crew. It tackles an interesting figure, Yukio Mishima, the author who was a radical and unusual character that to this day is sorta an embarrassment to the...
Well as for US directors exploiting stereotypes, you probably couldn't do better than "Lost in Translation." Sophia Coppola not only exploits most stereotypes, she makes up a new one (the Japanese confuse their "Ls" and "Rs" - totally untrue the Japanese don't have a L sound in their language...
Remember cars made before 1985? The had bumpers on the front and back end. They were super-useful. There are times in even the best driver's life where you bump something or are bumped. No biggie back in the old days, but now that bumpers are gone and the front and back end are just big pieces...
I had a classic bad table today. This lady shows up in the middle of a rush and says she's in a hurry, so I ask if she wants to order now- she says yes, but is clearly NOT ready. So I offer to give her a couple minutes, but no she insists she'd ready- but spends the next four minutes asking her...
Just went back to waiting and wanted to revive this thread. Really, a server generally wants to please you as much as you want to be pleased. Budgeting your time on this scale is really difficult. I worked a lot of jobs between waiting the last time and waiting this time. It is a really hard...
Another take on the cheerleader pain thing- I don't think she feels it- when she deliberately hurts herself, she seems rather calm. Also, when she is injured and doesn't know it (like the rib) she also has no reaction. Yet if these powers are more recent- she would have grown up feeling pain and...
Wow- about half way through it now and just hating it. Mr. Brooks obviously did his research on tech stuff and apparently wants to sandwich ever last factoid he ever saw into the book. The writing is just trite- like the section on the scoccer mom, wherer the author manages to cram in every bad...
I'm not sure what to make of the Adama/ Sharon-Boomer-Athena relationship. He is a total hardass, and yet the only time we've ever seen him break down, emotionally, was when he viewed assasin Sharon's body... curious...
Ok, my expectations were a little low. Loved the HBO show, but all the web/SNL type pre-release media blitz had Mr. Cohen rehashing a lot of the same jokes (#4 prostitute sister, 12 year old son Huey Lewis, ect ect). That said, this really surprised me - it is a genuinely funny picture where you...
At this point, the only logical end to the series is for them to find Earth. The question is, what time period will it be? It really could be almost any- what would be more dramtically satisfying for you as a viewer?
Oh, and that also explains why Zarek would give up power so easily- he, better than anyone, knows when the popular will is against him. The man is at least practical.
Zarek isn't just some power-hungry moron. He's the ultimate populist. Zarek's talent is not doing the "right" thing- but the thing he (correctly) reads that most people want. That's what got Baltar in office and landed everyone on New Caprica. He's like a walking cautionary tale against playing...
Hehe - as soon as I saw the topic name, I knew there was no way in hell most people would list just ONE. Ok, for me - Rosemary's Baby - just a perfect, perfect film.
hey - so I'm not too much of a comic book guy- so who is the Green Arrow - what is his story? Was there a Supes connection from before in his mythos- gimme a primer.... And I always hated simpering little Lana..until this episode. She finally revealed a much more interesting side to her...
