  1. I also got on board during the Blueberry Boat era. I don't think the material has gone down hill, but it definitely isn't as,... majestic as Blueberry Boat. Coincidentally, their live material sounded best during Blueberry Boat and Rehearsing My Choir. I'm quite surprised I haven't picked up Remember. The local record shop and Best Buy have not picked up the items. According to the Best Buy representative I spoke with, Remember is deleted and that they do not intend to sell any more items in store (they're only available for purchase online). If you don't like what you hear, give them

  3. I do dig this new swagger. And it is definitely up there for the year.
  4. So, by providing examples of bands that stayed great as they aged, you have to provide limiting factors that contradict your argument.
  5. I expected more form a Judd Apatow movie. They movie doesn't stick to any themes and hugs the friendship one way too tight even though their argument has plenty of holes. The movie jerked some moderate laughs from me.
  6. Synopsis: Propane gas facility explodes multiple times at around 4am EST, Sunday morning in Toronto. Officials are evacuating local residents, several of which received injuries. Officials have also closed the 401, North America's busiest freeway, in that section of the city, North York. The Toronto Transit Commission has already closed several subway stations in that area and have assisted the evacuation by offering shuttles to transport the residents to shelters. Videos embedded at the end of post. via canada.com Update: This is the new video.
  7. It's not that time of the year already is it? Fine, let's throw a bone. The best album of the year so far is... I have yet to hear a better album this year.
  8. Hercules And Love Affair - Hercules And Love Affair Radiohead - Hail To The Thief
  9. Which last one? Pussy Cats or A Hundred Miles Off?
  10. 89 words into the review, and I can already tell by the writing style that not only does the reviewer not understand the movie, but that the reviewer towers above all by objectifying all issues. There are unnecessary sentences in that review that doesn't even benefit his/her argument. Starting from the small pissants to the over-generalization of everything, the writer does not want to stick with a topic or a point really. There's nit-picking about the opinions made, not the presentation. This isn't a review; it's a rant. Whoever is maintaining that magazine should desperately search for
  11. I'm advocating Brad Goodman's philosophy. If you would like to learn more, you may come to the Do As You Feel Festival in four months.
  12. If you want to keep talking about one-dimensional consistency in characters, then, of course your rationalization will work for you. They might be criminals, but they still have morals and principles. It's that type of one-dimensional thinking that leads to people screaming on that ferry.
  13. Sure, no source material comes from the graphic novel, but The Long Halloween heavily influenced the Dark Knight's storyline. And a graphic novel is a type of comic book: I have been mistaken. Now you're just throwing words into the air. You've gotta clarify.
  14. It's a graphic novel, not comic book (a common and major problem amongst most viewers). A lot of directors would have made everyone panic during the ferry exchange. And you know what, that is expected. Nolan chooses to give the people of Gotham credit. However, because your expectation of Gotham citizens differs from Nolan's plot, you're going to call him out on a different effect and consequence? Again, the citizens on those ferries contemplated, which (coughs) parallels the dilemmas that Batman and Dent must make. A small panic ensued as soon as the Joker announced. Following that, t
  15. SPOILER WARNING So you expect everyone in that situation to panic instead when threatened? The Joker not only threatens with death, but asks about the morals of everyday citizens after mercilessly killing high ranking civil servants. You are absolutely right: every Gotham citizen is mindless and easily terrified. If anything, these citizens were mortified and distraught. The Joker's final act delivered a climax very similar to the end of the Killing Joke. Sure, not a fight, but a very haunting ending and climax about the philosophies of both parties as they finally exchange their heate
  16. Spectacular. Also, Jack Nicholson is no longer the best Joker. Unfortunately, I have very little faith when award season comes around. Nevertheless, the Dark Knight eclipses all films from this year.
