Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Dexter are coming to English TV. I’ve heard good things about Dexter and nothing about Chronicles. So which should The Brit and I watch? (and tell us why in the comments!)
Loading ...After unpacking all my DVDs that had been in storage, I came across my Buffy the Vampire Slayer sets. I was a big fan. I laboured my first child during the season 3 finale before going to the hospital. Ahhh the memories… (more…)
You asked for it. (more…)
Decide my fate, jerkwads. Poll’s open all weekend.
Loading ...ok, here goes nothing. Remember, I hate you. Poll’s closed. sigh.
Loading ...Michael Ausiello at TV Guide says that a series regular on Heroes will die this season, one of Peter, Claire, HRG, Mohinder, Niki/Jessica, Simone or Micah. Who should die? (more…)
OK, folks, here’s what I consider to be the worst three movies that got mentioned in the earlier thread. Vote — and decide my fate.
UPDATE: Sound of Thunder wins it!!
Wow, some bad’uns this time. I’ve taken a couple of liberties: instead of The Mongrel, which actually got some decent ratings and wasn’t on Netflix, I went with Watchers 3, which no one loves, and which involves a mutant beast in South America vs. a government-trained golden retriever.
And I couldn’t pass up Chupacabra Terror, which involves yet another south-of-the-border beast, this one on a cruise ship.
Third candidate: Sean Cassity’s pick, House of the Dead, rated one of the worst movies of all time at IMDB.
All three movies get no more than one star at Netflix. Many of the other more choice ones from the thread weren’t on Netflix at all. Sorry.
POLL RESULTS: looks like I’m watching HOUSE OF THE DEAD. Ugh.
Poll is at the top of the post. (more…)
Here’a a killer. I mean, how can anyone possibly separate these? This odious job falls to you, discerning KB-ers:
Does early 90′s REM (Out of Time, Automatic for the People, Monster, and New Adventures in Hi-Fi) suck? I say no, it doesn’t. In fact, I think they did some of their best work in the early 90′s. But other fans of 80′s REM say that it does, indeed, suck. This KB thread about overcoming snobbery in which anti-REM snobbery abounds has got me curious. I wonder if people’s differing takes on the early 90′s REM question is influenced by how they came to be familiar with the band. So I made a poll to come to an unquestionably definitive answer. Take it. (more…)
Man, this is an unappetizing week. THE WINNER: Most Xtreme Primate.
Saints and angels preserve us.
I think I know which one will win, but I don’t know which will take 2nd.
(more…)
Now is the time to foist on me your wretched cinematic refuse.
UPDATE: Voting’s over! Looks like I’ll be watching The Pirate Movie. Thanks for nothing, you jerks!
POLL RESULT: Battlefield Earth wins and will be watched this week (shudder).
It’s all over, folks. But something new is coming. (more…)
THE FINAL PLAYLIST THUNDERDOME. (more…)
A mighty battle last week, with three great songs largely neck-and-neck until in the end Jackson Browne’s “These Days” triumphed by a single voice. We are counting chads even now.
This week’s penultimate T-dome: battle of the Toronto Arts&Crafts bands.
Remember: NEXT WEEK IS THE FINAL T-DOME. Send in your suggestions for a grand finale.
(yawns, blinks eyes)
oh! Wow, are we still doing this T-dome thing? “Mother” by Danzig beat Johnny Cash and Stephen Malkmus, winning 55% of the popular vote. The mind reels.
For your listening pleasure: three good songs. But only one is T-dome good!
Remember: T-dome ends in 2 weeks.
Fun battle, y’all. The Beach Boys’ “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” won out with over half the votes, defeating Weezer’s “Buddy Holly,” so now Greg can sleep at night.
This week: songs for mom (kinda).
Remember: T-dome ends in 3 weeks.
Definitive punk, post-punk, and new wave bands proved to be an interesting but ultimately non-controversial battle: the Ramones’ “Judy is a Punk” won 18 of 36 votes, crushing the Cars (hee hee!).
This week: I dunno, some kinda West Coast vibe thing?
Remember: T-dome ends in 4 weeks.
