  1. I thought it was a great show for the first four season, but then it went downhill. I tried as hard as I could to pinpoint it but my friend noted that the characters have become caricatures of what themselves instead of spontaneous growing.

     

    I would highly recommend the first four seasons. But the latest episodes have not impressed me.

     

    The Simpsons also suffers from the aforementioned problem.

  2. I thought Sorkin weaved the rapid fire witty strikes beautifullly.

     

    I don't see why people see this as a bust. And the writers that complain that it doesn't depict SNL at all are comparing apples to oranges. Sorkin did the same thing with West Wing. Even though it was based on Clinton, the story was never about retelling Clinton's presidency.

     

    Sigh.

  3. One last thing or two here:

    Why isn't Kate in prison (assuming this is a flash forward)?

     

    There's going to be a couple of hours before the new others show up to 'rescue' the losties. Will Locke remove himself from the group (the old others will need a new leader).

     

    What will become of Dez?

     

    Sawyer has built up a lot of negative karma...shooting Tom was uncalled for, even if he did kidnap Walt.

    We're assuming Kate is smart enough to realize that faking her own death on the island is a good idea. Thus, taking on a different alias upon leaving the island is probably the best way to evade interpol and etc.

  4. Do NOT listen to Sky Blue Sky. It will give you dysentery and then monkeypox. It will make your armpit hair fall out. Blister beetles will invade your sweaty places. You'll scratch your ears bloody and wish you'd never been born.

    I would recommend your advice, but I wouldn't command my peers to do so. I would suggest sampling the album before casting judgement.

     

    And yes, I don't like Sky Blue Sky for its 60s/70s soft rock revival, which doesn't sound as refreshing as previous records.

     

    The packaging is great. I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about, but Wilco has already figured out how to get around the annoying stickers that bind normal CDs. Those stickers leave residual marks even if you're extremely careful, which is still annoying. Secondly, they're a pain to peel. Finally, most CD cases come with those barcode magnetic strips that adhere below the CD holder. Wilco has surpassed all of these nuissances in packaging. When will the rest learn?

  5. Great song. Stop abusing and commercializing the effect to every theme. Just because it's great doesn't mean it will synchronize with your scene. There has been a popular trend in the business to score an entire score among emotional montage (and etc.) to dramatize and exaggerate the emotions. This was the beginning of the end for E.R. (as well as the departure of Anthony Edwards). Many other televisions shows and movies have also followed this similar pattern. Turn it off.

    I'm guessing it leaked. How is it?

    Descriptions preaseru! More Engrish for all!

    And oh..., maybe mother told you true, and there'll always be somebody there for you. And you'll never be alone.

  7. After seeing them on tour post-Rehearsing My Choir, I really like the songs now... but I still hate the studio versions on the album.

     

    Does anyone have a bootleg from the "we're not bringing keyboards and instead will play our guitars at 11"* tour from last year?

     

    *my name, not theirs

     

    Dimeadozen might still have the Atlanta show on torrent.

    I was listening to Gallowsbirds Bark and EP earlier today.

    Here Comes The Summer springs (punderdome!) to mind immediately.

    I wonder if this tour contains the odd percussion from autumn 2006 that supposedly put Spaniolated on the setlist.

     

    This thread requires more love.

  9. I really think they're not in purgatory as debunked numerous times by show producers.

     

    Hell? No.

    The pace is picking up a little bit.

    Also, ABC sucks at previewing new episodes.
