    Friday Night Lights season 1 thread

    To me, it hardly seems like they are portraying high school as "the best time of your life." One paralyzed quarterback, one quarterback who takes care of his grandmother and has the weight of the world thrust on his shoulders, one running back who has a drinking problem, one running back who...

    Friday Night Lights season 1 thread

    There is some mellodrama, and the hand held camera gets a bit too shakey sometimes, but the mostly good acting and writing makes me forget about any negatives. Plus I like a lot of the music and the score is great. The scene last night where the coach shows up at the new QB's house then...

    HTF REVIEW: LOST - Seaon Two - Unquestionably Recommended

    Great review. I spent my DVD money on Seven Samurai this week, but am looking forward to picking up Lost where I left off. I missed a couple of episodes last season and was well . . . Lost. So, I was wondering if somone could tell me on what disc is the episode named "Psalm 23" I think it is...

    VANISHED - ongoing thread

    It was a lot of fun to see Atlanta looking so slick and high-tech. The flyover shots were great, but I agree, I really didn't like the lead FBI guy, or anyone else much. The story is somewhat compelling, but it will be hard to stay devoted to a show without likable characters.

    PS3 possibly delayed until spring 07, format war not game over , but game on

    If you want the original source of the article it is here: http://www.nni.nikkei.co.jp/AC/TNKS/...14D14JFF04.htm But you do have to register with a credit card. (No thanks)

    PS3 possibly delayed until spring 07, format war not game over , but game on

    Reading through some of the comments on the site where the article is posted, it appears that Sony's announcement is not yet official but that the Japanese paper is saying an unnamed source said it would be made official tomorrow at a big press conference. Whether delayed in Japan or...

    New Tube Amp

    Chu, I was thinking of you when I posted this. Not b/c you have a small penis (I wouldn't know!) but because I know how fond you are of overly expensive analog gear. I'd say this fits the bill.

    New Tube Amp

    I kinda like tube amps, but this thing is just silly. $500. ONE watt of power (at 12 ohms). Come on and and feel the S/Noise! Still, it does look nice.

    Anyone use Flickr?

    Part of the Intrestingness thing seems to be a poularity contest. There is indeed a large circle of people who seem to keep each other in heavy rotation. Granted most are very very good photographers, but not every single shot they take. But then I think Flickrs rapid success comes from the fact...

    Anyone use Flickr?

    Hey Steve, Perhaps Flickr is why the Photo forum here is so quiet. I'm an official addict. Pics here. I'll be adding you.

    This FREAKS me out

    Ipod is pretty specific since it's a brand. Did he guess "portable music device"? or anything close? Took him 25 to guess needle when I was thinking of stylus. Not bad. My wife stumped him with salt shaker.

    So UPN moved VM to go up against Lost? And that will help, how? :frowning:

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

    original question answered . . . anyway . . . I didn't either at first, but it makes complete sense now. Lucas had to give some explanation for Anakin's "virgin" birth. He made it fairly sublte so that we'd debate it forever and he'd never have to answer the ? definitively. Damn you GL! :)

    ***Official Xbox Next Discussion Thread - Broadcast Launch 3.12.05 Thread***

    Although I'm no J6P (even if I curretly do have a J6P budget) the ability to be a good HD DVD player would definitely push me toward the PS3. Actually I'm really looking forward to getting Hidef DVDs, and if I can get a player that's also a great gaming console, then bonus!

    ALIAS season 4 ongoing thread (merged)

    I think if you look back thru the thread you'll find you definitely are not the only one missing rimbaldi and story arcs. I am a fan from the beginning, but my patience is wearing thin. As for nadia, yep, I'm glad she's there too! :)

    ALIAS season 4 ongoing thread (merged)

    Man, I thought the same thing! I told my wife that she looked just like NP in the Professional. BTW, is it whining to ask that people use spoilers when referring to the previews? I don't watch them b/c they give too much away IMO.

    Enjoyed this one too. A little disappointed they caught Anna already. I was liking the idea of a Sark Anna tag team.

    ALIAS season 4 ongoing thread (merged)

    As others have noted, that was a LOT more like it. A couple of pages back, after the "vampire" episode, I wrote that I was afraid that Alias had jumped the shark. What a 180! 2 eps ago was very good. Last week, Anna and Sark: just awesome! I got that tingly feeling again. Can't wait for tomorrow.

    ALIAS season 4 ongoing thread (merged)

    I am, or was, a huge fan of this show. Is it just me, or did Alias just about jump the shark last night? Vampires? Gallons of blood, gratuitous brain scene, drugs, "I think I killed my Daddy." :thumbsdown: Bad stuff. Yes, it was a waste. will keep me watching for now, but my expectations for it...

    I was shushed at the movies!

    Nothing personal, but that would be 2 strikes against someone: talking during the film and getting up and going to the bathroom. Stepping all over people while someone gets up to go to the bathroom is as bothersome as chatter during the movie. I am more understanding at a kids movie or at an...

    American Dreams Season 3 thread

    Wasn't it that the Bandstand producer or director got her an internship in the newsroom? That was where she worked with the pot smoking son of the news producer. He seems to have disappeared this year, Meg's new neighbor being the bad-boy flavor of the year. Meg seems drawn to these types, even...

    Veronica Mars season 1 (ongoing thread)

    Well, I didn't say it had to. I was just recounting that it didn't. The pacing is fine so far. I also hope we get at least a full season out of this. Hmmm. Yes it is odd. She might have used the name John Smith to get the Social and then used the SS# to grab the address, but that should...

    DirecTV locals - in HD?

    Unless there is some sort of waiver type deal for rural customers, AFAIK, no you cannot.

    Good one Patrick. I thought this was a bit obscure for a young kid. Body Double would have worked too.
