Re: OT: Movie rental suggestions

Watched Hugo yesterday with my 10 year old son. It was good, but I wouldn't necessarily want to watch it again. My son enjoyed it, but like me he didn't love it. I enjoyed the characters more than the story.

Are you a big Scorsese fan? I am curious about Hugo but it doesn't quite make sense to me ...

Re: OT: Movie rental suggestions

I recently watched the whole SGU series on Netflix Instant. I've always been a fan of the Stargate franchise, more for the premise than the execution. SGU was by far the best of the Stargate TV series in my opinion (which isn't saying much), but was still pretty uneven. It was just starting to hit ...

I would take my chances on a Nexus but I don't want to buy a phone directly from Google. Really poor marketing and business decisions on their part.

Anyone here gotten the Nexus One? I think the main drawback for me is that I can't use my status with T-Mobile as a longtime customer (have been ...

Darlton have on numerous occasions made clear the nature of the story/how the ending will tie everything together: it's all taking place inside of Vincent's head.

Anyone played any of the Civ series on a mac? If so, are they just lame ports, or good distinct versions? I've never played on anything but a PC, but there may be a macbook pro entering my life between now and the time this game comes out.

I love the first comment by the readers and I agree. :)
Agreed...as one of the commenters puts it, there goes $60 and a year of my life.

District 9 - Great first half, surprisingly sad, but devolves into a numbing shootout. I also think that even if aliens landed over Johannesburg, the matter wouldn't simply be left up to the South African government to do as it saw fit. But whatever.

Spot on, Slumber. Love the set up and then it ...

The Windows 7 mockups I saw made me think that this could be the first thing since the iPhone that isn't trying to imitate the iPhone in some way or another.* I agree, it could be very legit.

For anyone who has never seen the show (like me until very recently) and wants to catch up on the cheap, Netflix is now featuring Seasons 1 & 2 (and maybe 3, can't remember) on its streaming "Watch Instantly" format. I have watched most of the first season over the past 2 weeks. Great show!!!

Thanks guys for showing me the ropes, I had a good time! Next time I should definitely be able to stick around for longer.

Oh and BTW, while Zeppo's 2 zipline bot kills were impressive, let me just say that Will was a pimp! :D Except for when he went rogue and offed Spooky of course.

Anyone pick up the new Hot Chip yet? Was going to buy it the other night on the AppleTV but didn't get around to actually pulling the trigger. I really liked their last album.

I did. It's very different from "The Warning," my favorite Hot Chip record. It's darker and more dense. I liked the light ...

Just finished listening to the new Vampire Weekend album, "Contra." Is there a more overrated, overhyped band than this one?

I don't think so.

No band could ape Paul Simon's "Graceland" album any more thoroughly than this. I'm surprised Simon hasn't sued the band for copyright infringement -- he ...

Thanks PK, good to be here!

Just out of curiosity, have you abandoned consoles in favor of PC gaming? Or just retired? :wink:

I used to do a lot of PC gaming (mostly the Civ series), but have pretty much just been living the console life the last few years. I think maybe it's that PC gaming was ...

Spooky - I love how the Temple others apparently completely forgot about whatever was freaking them out so much 2 weeks ago. They went from "ZOMG we gotta set off some fireworks!!!" to "Oh hey Jack, 'sup? I'm just reading a book here. And Miyagi over there is typing up the 'Annotated History of the ...

Converging timelines would be good in that it could lead to some serious hot Kate-on-Kate action.

Actually, she annoys me...so I'd actually be more interested in seeing Sawyer being his own drinking buddy and the two of them riffing one liners off of each other Apatow movie-style.

Naples - that is hilarious! Hadn't seen that before.

What I was seeing was one guy at a time just randomly spinning in circles similar to the move those guys were doing (the standing variety rather than the crouching or jumping variety). The first time I saw it I didn't really even register it ...

Spooky, I'm in! I could do 9 or 9:30 as I should be sufficiently pissed off about being let down by Lost for the 3rd week in a row to pwn some mercs and/or spies.

I noticed an interesting new bug last night. I kept happening upon dudes spinning around in circles very rapidly. It basically looked like an iceskater spinning around (while holding an assault rifle). Maybe it's an Olympics-themed glitch. :D

Has anyone else seen this? I ran across it at least ...
