I have never had a dream that was a memory. But in movies and in TV, this happens all the time. It's an easy storytelling device, to catch people up on something that happened off-screen to a character in a movie, or in an earlier episode of a series, so I understand why they use it. But it...

I thought I'd try out the new iTunes TV thingie, so I bought the pilot episode of "Night Stalker" (they don't have much yet), for $1.99. First, I think that's too high of a price if I wanted to collect them, but I guess it's OK if I just want to watch something I forgot to TiVo (and can't...

What a great episode this was! This felt like a "golden age" episode. Maybe it was an old rejected script? Anyway, seeing Burns, Kent Brockman and a town hall meeting in the same episode again was great. Many funny lines and a great overall story. Also a good secondary story with the cat...

What an awesome album "Enemy of God" is! The guitar work is amazingly heavy, like the Kreator of old but with some added influence from the popular "melodic death" style. The production is excellent, with Mille keeping some of the more melodic style of singing he developed after "Coma of souls"...

Due to a cable TV outage here, my recording is just a black screen. :frowning: I'd hate to miss an episode now that it's so close to the end for this show... so does anyone have this episode recorded? I'll pay for a VHS copy + shipping, or if you have it in an other format that would be OK...

Hi all, I'm looking to stay in Vegas for 2 nights in mid february (Tue thru Thu) with a friend of mine. I don't need a fancy hotel, but I don't want a dump either. I want it to be fairly close to the bigger hotels like Bellagio and Paris (where I've stayed before, but I don't want to pay that...

I just discovered this great danish band, Mnemic. http://www.mnemic.com They remind me of Fear Factory but with more hardcore influences in the vocals, but also catchier hooks. I know some people might frown on that, but I like hooks, in the right music. They balance it out with some good old...

http://www.fox.com/tradingspouses/ Seriously, it's exactly the same, even the name, as a skit on the Dave Chapelle Show. Is whoever wrote the skit involved in this show, or is Fox just ripping them off? /Mike

Does anyone else watch this soap on Fox? I think it's really good so far. Traditional, soapy, not trying to be hip. It's got the good old poor vs rich theme, and a good little half-lost romance between the two leads. It's starting to shape up the main storylines now too. It'll probably be...

I saw these new 8 oz soda cans at Target the other day, hadn't seen them before. They have the same circumference as a regular 12 oz can, but are shorter, so they look a little odd. They seem to be a little bigger than the cans served on airplanes? Who are these for?? Is it just another...

$79.99 is the price you pay up front, no mail-in rebates necessary. It's a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 drive. This is probably the best B&M price I've seen for a 160GB drive ever (beats even most online retailers, after shipping is added). Not sure if this forum is just for DVD bargains, if so...

Lots of discussion over at tivocommunity about the new HMO features that will now be included in every regular Tivo subscription. Some of those who paid for it feel ripped off. Tough luck, I say. :) I'm just happy we finally get it in the regular subscription, which is where it belonged all...

http://www.spiketv.com/shows/series/...mo/index.jhtml This time it's a fake dating show called "Last chance for love" and two "joe's", one female and one male. The only returning cast member is the host Ralph Garman, who is in make-up and playing a different host this year, "Derek Newcastle"...

Yeah, this is a "this bugs me" thread. :) WHen there are words painted on the street to inform drivers, they always do it very "cleverly" and paint it "backwards". Where it should say FIRE LANE it says LANE FIRE since they think we'll ride "fire" first. But does anyone here...

See review on Remote Central here: http://www.remotecentral.com/av2100/index.html It's in great condition, normal wear over about 3 years but no major scratches or dents. Works flawlessly. Manual + batteries included, but no box. Selling for $40 OBO + USPS Priority shipping. /Mike

http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news...9xhd4&refer=us It's a good thing they don't own more stations. Whatever you may think of ABC's motives, it just doesn't seem right for a broadcaster to censor a show for political reasons...

I've used it since it came out, and I've bought a few albums from iTMS, but now I'm getting fed up with this piece of extremely mediocre software, so much so that I won't buy from iTMS again. Some annoying things: - The program does not conform to Windows standards in menu layouts and...

Since I started to download albums, both "illegally" and "legally", I have discovered many albums by artists I now consider to be some of my favorites (Opeth, Diablo, Amorphis to name a few), and I have no clue what their album art, stage shows, or even band members look like. I haven't...

I don't frequent any car forums, so I'll ask here. :) I need to buy a second car, the budget is set around $8k or lower (preferrably lower, of course :)). What should I get? What is best, going with a newer "low-end" car or an older more luxurious one? I'm thinking older and bigger, I've...

I missed the first episode last night, dang! Does anyone know if it'll be on a again? I liked the first season a lot, will be interesting to see how this one turns out. :)

I can't believe how HUGE their logo is! Not only that, but it's in the top right corner, and a lot of the sports action is going on in the top half of the screen, so it really stands out and almost covers up what's happening on the screen. The logos in the lower right corner are bad enough...

I am trying to burn a CD in iTunes, that I purchased from iTMS. I have tried 5 times now, and I keep getting an error. The slower I burn, the earlier the error comes (when I burn at max speed (52x), it comes at the very last song, when I burn at 16x it comes in the beginning of the album)...

SoapNet are showing the most famous of all "Dallas" episodes tonight, the finale of season 3, which is the episode that ended with the cliffhanger of "Who shot JR?". Not sure if anyone else here is following this show, but I really enjoy it, both for the nostalgia factor and for the fact that...

I recently moved to a place with a tennis court. Problem is, I don't play tennis and don't really have anyone to play with yet. I used to have a tennis training aid when I was little, that I thought might be good practice for me now. It had a piece of heavy rubber for a base, roughly 1x1 foot...

Last night, "Will & Grace" started at 7:44, 4 minutes BEFORE it was supposed to start according to the Tivo program guide (which said 7:48). As usual, "Friends" started at 6:59 instead of 7:00. I think "Coupling" might have started a minute or so early too, haven't watched it yet. Is anyone...

I just heard on NPR this morning (clip available here: http://www.npr.org/rundowns/segment.php?wfId=1420569 at the top of the page) Somehow, I don't think the studios will do this. :) EVen if they all agree on it, someone's gonna think "well, one little ad won't hurt". Someone else sees it...

I found this little spider outside the garage last night. I HATE spiders! It was too big to stomp on though, so I shooed it away after I took the pictures. :) Does anyone know what kind it is? It was about the size of the palm of my hand. /Mike

The brand Smart sells tiny little cars, with a very stylish design. Their Roadster is incredibly cool, IMO. I wonder if anyone knows if they'll be available in the US some time soon? I would love to be able to have a car that would only use 1/4 of the garage when I park it. :) Website...

EDIT: removed URL, remembered the rule about no links to active eBay auctions... Current bid $85,000 for this thing: How'd you like to pull up next to a Hummer H2 in this thing? :D /Mike

http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Musi....ap/index.html My thoughts are with Johnny and the rest of her family. I can't get the image from the video "Hurt", of her standing in the stairs looking at Johnny, out of my mind right now. I never listened to her own music much, but just having...
