All of you people saying that you don't believe in reliving the past are no fun and officially on my Uncool List. :) There was a day last year when my boss told me I was going to be hired permanently (after temping for 2 years) at what is still my current job. I came home from work and walked...

Will someone please explain this line of reasoning to me? Yeah, they spent a buttload of cash creating and promoting a show so they could secretly run it into the ground and anger messageboard posters. Why does everyone on the internet assume a network that does something they don't like must...

Is it really that bad for the company in question if their website's name is genericized? Google's a company, yeah, but saying "google" aloud is almost an instruction, an advertisement to others on how to get to their website and access their product. I can see how a company like Band-Aid...

Mark, you might think I'd agree with you based on my .sig, but I'd go with Annie Hall (1977) as the quintessential 70's movie. (For the record, Godfather's my favorite of ALL TIME, but it doesn't feel especially 70's to me.)

Nope, I mean the second law of thermodynamics. Newton's second law (building from the first law, inertia) states that the acceleration of an object is dependent on the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. Net force = mass * acceleration. Exactly. The second law of...

I wish for a perpetual motion machine. Take that, second law of thermodynamics! Ha ha ha ha ha! Umm, yeah. Given that a good friend of my family has a stubborn cancer that won't go away and the outlook isn't so great for her, I'd probably wish for the ability to cure diseases.

Anarchy In The U.K. by the Sex Pistols.

I don't know what kind of sicko game you're playing, but in mine it's mostly the characters dying. And this is as on-topic as you can get. Why did you post in OT? And just to not be a total snark: 41.-"Big pulsating black orb, huh? I'LL TOUCH IT!"

Well, I got beaten to Smells Like Teen Spirit by about a dozen people, so just to be contrary I'll go with Loser by Beck. BTW, who ever thought he'd be anything but a one-hit wonder? Almost everything he's done since has been glorious. Debra off of Midnite Vultures is the best song Prince...

Which one movie would I wanna see? Empire Strikes Back. Defined the era in the best and most timeless way? Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Where The Streets Have No Name by U2.

Pulp Fiction inspired countless puerile imitators. That's the true mark of era-defining. That, and Jules Winfield is one of the greatest film characters ever.

I'm not so sure Ian would be quick to pick someone else over Tom if it came down to it. Ian may be considering the fact that there could be a lot of women on the jury who didn't particularly like Tom over Ian, and Coby would definitely vote against Tom. Janu's a bit of a wildcard but I have to...

That's not the balance. It's not like there's supposed to be an eqaul number of Sith and Jedi; Jedi are the servants of the force and Sith are a mockery of it. Sith are unnatural aberrations in the Force, they aren't supposed to exist in a balanced universe at all. It was through Jedi...

AKA Efren Ramirez and Aaron Ruell. They were at a special screening of Napoleon Dynamite put on by St. Mary's College in Moraga at the Rheem Theater. Two huge sold out shows with a Q&A afterwards. I got in line to ask a good question but all these little 13-year-olds were in front of me and...

High Plains Drifter by the Beastie Boys.

I can touch my tongue to my nose.

I am, I am, I am Superman, and I can do anything.

Umm, not in that shot? Seriously though, it's confirmed he's in the movie, and not a walk-on either. Is that definitely the Serenity? I'd have to go back and look at the trailer. Could just be some ship shooting missiles. This doesn't appear to be so much a question as it is a quote...

1. I've been kicked out of two different colleges (one of them twice!) 2. I once won a writing contest and got to be a paid film critic for a year. 3. I bought a house at the age of 24. 4. I once accidentally clamped my nipple in the hammer of a .44 cap-and-ball revolver. 5. I saw a UFO...
