I'm pretty sure I joined the site the day it launched (I was a regular on Counterparts before that) and spent a LOT of my high school years on here. A few people from those days, I'm still friends with. I still lurk here occasionally under a different name but figured I should come say hi today, although it's under awful circumstances. This is a shock. He's the greatest to ever do it.

Completely shocked and devastated. This was out of nowhere.

Is there a Miami date on this tour? Because we can't entirely rule out Rush announcing at the last minute that they're taking their video-recording talents to South Beach instead.

I caught the pilot episode of Boardwalk tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely keep watching.

Best comedy show since Arrested Development.

What I wouldn't be opposed to: waiting until 2012 to release anything on DVD and putting together a 2-disc "Past & Future" package, with the first disc being the Time Machine tour and the second disc being the Clockwork Angels tour. Maybe release the CD version of Time Machine in the meantime.

QUOTE (rocketom @ Aug 28 2010, 06:22 PM) If they release the Time Machine tour on cd/dvd along with Clockwork Angels they would only need to sell about 250k copies to make it platnium. Then they would get good publicity about having a platnium cd which could lead to further sales. I'm betting on a deluxe edition cd/dvd edition like Journey had a couple of years ago. I'd be very disappointed if they sunk to the level of Foreigner or Journey, basically admitting that nobody wants to hear their new material and that the only way to get anyone to buy it is by cutting a deal with Wal-Mart or Target to package it with a live album or a greatest hits. I'd like to hope Rush has more self-respect than that. No reason to believe they won't release the new live album and DVD as its own package like they have with every tour since Rio. They've done alright with that formula.

You lost me with "How it Is" being this low.

Last week was the best episode of the season so far. Don is back on his game and the Sally/Betty stuff was great. I don't know about the Gene theory but it's not completely implausible.

Springsteen LeBrie (at this point the main reason I can't get into DT, they have some really cool stuff musically but he still sounds like a bad hair metal singer to me) The guy from Violent Femmes

The other glaring hole in the Blu-ray catalog as of now is the extended LOTR trilogy. Somebody get on that.

Wouldn't put it at all past Lucas to only release them in a box set. Hopefully they will give us options, because I'd buy the trilogy in a heartbeat but don't want to pay $100+ for a box set where I don't care about three of the six discs. I've still never seen Revenge of the Sith in its entirety.

Just noticed there wasn't a thread for the new season of my favorite show currently on TV. I know we have at least a handful of other Mad Men fans on here. It's interesting to watch Don hit bottom in many of the same ways as Tiger Woods is simultaneously in real life. Their career/life arcs are very similar to me. I love the Glen/Sally subplot, as well as Don's night out with Lane Pryce last week. First time we really got to see Pryce come out of his shell. If you don't watch Mad Men or aren't caught up, don't read this thread. Anyone else, I'd love to have someone to discuss it with.
