Will do GG

I'm still in the discovery phase with PT. I was only turned on to them a few months ago. I have six of their albums. There is so much material, and so little time! So far, I'm totally digging this band. Just picked up "The Sky Moves Sideways" last night. I can't believe I hadn't heard of these guys until recently. I guess that's what I get for only listening to the radio. The new stuff I hear from mainstream FM radio is mostly crap.

Since when are vampires all buff and sensitive? I thought vampires were supposed to be scary.

I was able to catch a couple of episodes. It is an amazing graphic depiction of the war. I love the personal stories that give you a different perspective on the war than we're used to hearing in media and history books. I want to go buy the DVD.

Why don't you include Benny Hill and Dave Allen in your boy collection? Fawlty Towers is one of the funniest sitcoms of all time. But, I don't think it was actually cancelled. John Cleese shut it down after a few episodes apparently due to other commitments and a lack of time to commit to doing the show.

"Taxi" was a classic. I think it would still work today.

One recent show that aired this past summer on NBC apparently hasn't been picked up..."The Philanthropist" I believe the 8 episodes that aired over the summer are available on hulu.com, in case anyone wants to check it out for themselves.

You still see World Series of Poker on cable stations, but it doesn't really interest me; I need to see celebrities playing. Why'd they cancel it? Because the presence of popular celebrities might encourage young people to begin gambling? I do not get the appeal of watching people play cards on TV. I don't even want to watch people play cards in person. If I'm watching TV and that's all that's on, I take it as a sign that I need to go find a good book. Just my taste. YMMV. I'm with you Mara. I don't get it either.

There was a show called "The Black Donnellys" a couple of seasons ago that I thought should have gone beyond one season. It was cancelled for low ratings. Critics also panned it. I thought it was pretty good. Anyone else see this show? What did you think?

I had heard of them a few times in the past, but I can't remember if I ever gave them a listen. Well, a few weeks ago, after reading through this thread, I bought the Deadwing album. I was totally blown away! These guys are very good. In addition to Deadwing, I have FOBP, In Absentia, The Incident, and Stupid Dream. I'll be adding to that list soon. Thanks to all of you who made recommendations and gave their opinions. If it wasn't for this thread, I might not have ever given PT a listen. Make sure you check them out live when they probably come to your area on next leg of tour I certainly will. I almost had the opportunity to see them a few weeks ago in NYC, but it didn't work out. Definitely next time...

Informative and entertaining at the same time. Thanks for reporting.

Great start to the new season. I liked how the doctor in charge of the asylum was always one step ahead of House. I'm not so sure he played along at the end. He seemed to have no other choice. But, I can't see him being a changed man. Once he gets back into his routine, he'll be back to the same old House. His personality is what makes House House. It's why we watch the show. I'm looking forward to next week.

My son started taking guitar lessons a couple of months ago. His teacher is an excellent guitarist. The guy is a really good teacher too. Having taken piano lessons as a kid, I know the importance of learning the basics first. He's teaching my son how to play scales, how to play along with a metronome, etc. Now that he's a few months into it, he's really coming along nicely. His teacher gave him a short simple solo to play, and he did it! It sounds really good for a beginner. He's really happy with his progress. Teaching any instrument is not easy. You have to have patience with the student. You also have to know how to help them not get discouraged. It helps to give them things they can work on that are not so complicated. This way they will feel like they've accomplished something.

Just when I thought I'd seen everything this year, the Mets proved me wrong...again. Who'd have thought you'd see two rare plays in one game...an inside the park HR and an unassisted triple play?

Couldn't get here soon enough....

More! More! More! I like it, Mara! I can't wait for your next installment! The story isn't too complex, easy to follow. The characters are believable. I like how the story is building up, and it's not obvious what will happen next. Keep up the good work!

QUOTE (Queen of Megadon @ Jun 12 2009, 12:40 PM) THANK GOD ITS FRIDAY. Seriously busy weekend ahead! it's my son's birthday. It simply defies reason that I am the parent of a teenager. Congrats on the birthday! Hope you all have fun. My kids are 12 and 14, so I know the feeling.

Woo Hoo!!!

QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ May 20 2009, 02:20 PM) Here is a movie that needs remaking (and it is, I know...but it's a brilliant candidate): LOGAN'S RUN. It was fine enough for '76, but it's a movie just ITCHING to get a 2009 glossing. Never saw the original...

I thought it was a decent ending, as far as season finales go. I never would have thought Agent Walker would turn out to be such a badass! I was as surprised as anyone that Almeida was up to no good. I liked this season. I hope next season is just as good.
