That's how it's been for me lately. Roundabout ten or twelve years ago or so, I got sick of television, and quit watching it. The signal to noise ratio was far too heavily weighted in the wrong direction, and even on the few shows that were worth watching, I still had to sit through...
Another first-time Buffy watcher here. I used to tease my dad (who was a fan) mercilessly about watching young miss SMG flounce around on the TV every week...then I got curious, started renting the discs from NetFlix, and now I'm hooked. I've managed to stay pretty spoiler-free, too, never...
Patrick — Thanks for the screencaps of the girls pre-"surgery"! ;) This got noticed and posted to MetaFilter today, and since the original poster couldn't link to "proof", I've snagged your pics and copied them to my server (so as not to slam your bandwidth) and added them to the discussion...
Very interesting news. I think that Hot Button column was quite well-written, too -- news like this is bound to provoke all sorts of reactions, only a small majority of which, unfortunately, will be support for Larry and what he's going through. As far as I'm concerned, i'm sure this is...
Just tossing a couple links into the fray, for your clicking pleasure: There's a little discussion on my Matrix: Reloaded page that may or may not cover some new ground (I skipped about ten pages of the middle of this thread in an effort to catch up...)... There's also a good discussion...
Just got back from seeing X-2 (for the second time in two days! The only other time I've done that was for Schindler's List - and believe me, that was a bit much for that particular film...). I've read _about_ the X-Men more than I've read the actual comics, but I've looked into them from...
So far, switching the preference between "Shuffle by Song" and "Shuffle by Album" doesn't seem to make any difference at all in how iTunes is choosing what to play next. Additionally, so far I'm not using the Smart Playlists - this is all happening when I've got the full Library displayed. It's...
I'm noticing something odd about iTunes 3.0 - and I'm not sure how well I'll be able to describe it, but I'll give it a shot. In essence, the 'random' feature seems to be a whole lot less random. I've got a library of ~5600 songs, and I like to just pop on random and see what comes up next...
I'm still working my way through the (currently) 23 pages of this thread, but if anyone feels up to a quick jaunt away from the HTF, my thoughts on AotC are here.
Brief summary:
One minor - but noticeable - quirk on the Star Trek: Next Generation Season 1 DVD set that I thought I'd mention, as I thought there was a bad pressing at first.
I first noticed this on the episode "When the Bough Breaks" (ep. 118, disc 5). While with the majority of the episodes on the set...
