Sorry, I couldn’t make it through the whole thing.
There was a lot of boob grabbing.
It took me a couple times to figure out why the boobs were grabbed.
What can I say, sometimes I’m a little slower than others.
Wait, there needs to be a reason?

CP: The Jean Genie — David Bowie
How does Bowie rate on your CP Corruption Scale, Van?
I’m an old fart so it’s up there near the top.
From one old fart to another, you’re welcome. 😉
Bowie himself has us all beat in this dept.
I’ve always wanted to checkout “Tin Machine”, 25 years and it still hasn’t happened.
So the band, Animals As Leaders, may not be the most accessible thing out there (instrumental proggy hard rock with alternate time signatures and occasionally fast flurries of notes), but it’s the most brilliant thing you’ll listen to today. Check out the “Weightless” album. Tobin Abasa may be the most original, creative guitarist working today.
YOo bet I will
My brain is telling me they are similar to “Liquid Tension Experiment” but I can’t recall a single LTE song.

Assassin’s Creed Rogue finally came out for PC. Just waiting for it to finish updating, then it will be time to see how the templars live.

I never figured you for ‘menjoying.
Some unnamed person might be disappointed if he didn’t….
Valiant Hearts, for me. It’s an adventure/puzzle story set in WW1.
I played through all the maps of Torchlight 2, right now I’m playing Batman Arkham Origins on the PC, because I got it on sale for $5 on Steam. Then I spent $15 for an interface that lets my Xbox 360 controller work with it. My RPG rules addiction has caused me to buy the source book Fate Core. Seems like whatever game “The Mad Adventurer’s Society” decides to podcast I have to buy the associated rulebook. So far I got Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, Fate, Savage Worlds and DnD 5e, but haven’t played a single game of them yet.
Here’s one of those “If you put this in a script, an editor would make you take it out as being way to cliche'” stories.
Just talked to a friend who had an appointment with the TSA this afternoon to get their “star” clearance so they didn’t have to go through the Airport Kabuki Theatre any more.
She was 45 minutes late for her appt because she had simply been given a street address and it turns out the TSA office is located in a block of nondescript buildings … in an industrial park … that has no street signs … and doesn’t show up on the GPS. Try as she might, she could not find a phone number to call and ask where they were.
When she walked into their office, late … they could see her head was spinning and were all very gracious. Immediately said “Couldn’t find us could you? We REALLY wish they would let us put our phone number on our web site but Homeland Security won’t let us give it out.”
Pretty funny really, if you don’t actually have to try and find them.
They’re from the government and they’re here to help 🙂
Why didn’t I think of that? A fully-funded customer-facing business that the customers can’t find?
It’s Wednesday already. This week is going way to fast for my liking.
Your crap joke for the day:
This blonde was at a coke machine and and put her change in and mashed a button and out comes a drink. So she puts some more change in and pushed another button and out comes a drink. She keeps putting change in and pushing buttons and getting drinks. Here comes a man and asks the blonde if she is gonna be through at this machine any time soon and she responded”I’m not gonna quit until I stop winning.”
Counter crap joke:
A man walks in to his doctor’s office for his 40 year check up. As he waits for the doctor to come in to the room he notices 3 items on the counter – a rubber glove, some KY jelly, and a pint of beer. The doctor walks in and the man points at the items and says, “Look, Doc, I know what the glove is for and I know what the KY is for. But, what is the beer for?”
The doctor, livid, picks up the beer and shouts to the nurse, “Dammit! I asked for a butt light!”
Desperate times demand desperate measures off to see Big Hero 6 at an actual cinema.
I really liked that movie. 😀
Was nice seeing it again on the big screen, and of course I waited right till the end..
That’s probably the best Marvel easter egg, even though BH6 wasn’t marketed as a Marvel movie. 🙂
I liked it.
I loved it until about 2/3 the way through when it seems like some producer figured they had reached the end of their target audience’s attention span and just switched to “Blow everything up!” mode.
Then I just liked it.

Your crap joke for the day:
Three men are sitting naked in the sauna. Suddenly there is a beeping sound. The first man presses his forearm and the beeping stops. The others look at him questioningly. “That’s my pager,” he says. “I have a microchip under the skin of my arm.” A few minutes later a phone rings. The second man lifts his palm to his ear. When he finishes he explains, “That’s my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand.” The third man, feeling decidedly low-tech, steps out of the sauna. In a few minutes he returns with a piece of toilet paper extending from his rear. The others raise their eyebrows. “I’m getting a Fax,” he explains
But four hour erections Lo, you better start buying bananas…

I just heard a similar story from September last year in which the woman tried vacuuming up the spiders and the exterminator recommended she incinerate her vacuum. I don’t have the fear of spiders, but I don’t like messing with the poisonous ones.
The discussion provides a good evaluation and discussion of the various issues with using a vacuum cleaner to kill spiders and even roaches. The general consensus is to dispose of the bag/contents immediately. And they also qualify the results by pointing out a vacuum cleaner is just a tool and not a guaranteed way to kill spiders.
So putting the cleaner outside and burning it is rather excessive do you think?
Just a *huge* bit. 😉
I just want you to know that I do NOT approve of this conversation
I think it is pretty cool. The designer in me questions the stripe on the boot, and the triangular piece of cloth hanging off the belt seems a little garish. Overall though, I like the more covered look befitting of a modern female superhero.

Found a new Canadian beer down here that I haven’t heard of before.
CD: 49th Parallel’s Gypsy Tears Red Ale.
It’s a nicely hopped red ale, that isn’t too bitter on the after taste. I’d like it to be a bit more full, but I can’t complain.

CW: Planet of the Apes
Against all advice
Not the Burton one…
We saw that in the drive in! This was the latest one.
The last two (Rise and Dawn) were spectacular in my opinion
The first of the newer 2 is really really good. The sequel is decent too.

Ugh, Spaceballs!

CW: The Last Man on Earth E3
Still not laughing…
I have caught the first two (mostly because I’ll watch anything with Kristen Schaal). But, I have a hard time having anything close to sympathy for anything the last man on earth does. He’s an astoundingly shallow douchebag and the preview they gave of episode 3 as the end of two looks like he’s not going to get any better. It’s like a bunch of asshats that drive around cars with “no fat chick” stickers wrote this playing a game of “what if you got stuck in this situation”.
And that’s the point of his character and why I give the show massive props for portraying him that was as opposed to the stereotypical ‘aw shucks’ good guy that gluts the majority of today’s sitcoms. I assure you the writers are going the sympathetic route on Carol and not Phil
Eat, geek, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.
Cinderella, hockey, The Road Warrior, and now baseball. Busy weekend!
Howd you slip the Road Warrior in there?
Does this weekend involve time travel?
How much better would Back to the Future 2 have been if Marty’s Delorean had landed in the future on a desert highway surrounded by road mutants?
There’s a local AZ group called Cult Classics who do theater screenings of, um, cult classics. This month it was the Road Warrior. And let me tell ya, it had been awhile. . . but this was seriously a fantastic big screen experience. The movie is 10x more exciting than I remember.
And while I’m excited for the new one, I just don’t see how CGI can match the real stunt driving thrills of the battle scenes in this one.
I’m tempted to rewatch the the first and third (it’s been decades), but I know I shouldn’t.
There’s nothing wrong with the first Mad Max
I haven’t seen it since the 80s.
I’ve finished one of the best shows I’ve ever seen… Sparticus. Such glory.
Gotta watch…so much TV to watch!!

We got a bit of snow last night. This is actually a good thing. This winter has been so mild, the news is already talking fire bans and possible lawn watering bans, car washing bans, etc. While we didn’t get much, it’s a start.

Maybe you should volunteer to write for ‘The Last Man on Earth’?
Sorry, the show is just fine the way it is. The fact youre pissed that its not a laugh out loud comedy complete with a laugh track is not on me, SIR!
Because two words – Raisinballs.
To get serious, I’m not a fan of laugh tracks.
Raisin balls made me gag not laugh.
Hopefully things will improve with January Jones on the scene.
Dude, Raisinballs werent meant to make you say “mmmmmmmmmmm”. Theyre actually a pretty great symbol of the world these two people are forced to live in.

I drank no green beer, listened to no House of Pain, ate no Corned Beef, had no Irish soda bread, and did not watch The Quiet Man.
Still a nice St. Paddy’s Day with my non-Irish Pixie. Goodnight, :leprechaun:
I had to drive 4 hours to a 1.5 hour meeting in Georgia and then drive back again. Fortunately, the cafeteria where the meeting was had corned beef. When I got home, there was still time to have a few beers. As far as celebration, I split 1/4 beer between my three dogs so they could feel like it was a special day. Oh, yeah and we watched Leprechaun Origins. It was a right piece of shit.
I wore a green shirt and, well … I guess that was it.
Things are returning to normal, I’ve lost the scissors.
Somedays I wonder if Van really speaks English…
You know that setting for English UK on your PC? That.
I’m sure the randomness of the scissors was what threw us off.
I was thinking it was his use of the phrase “returning to normal”.

Good luck Pixie. Stay safe and stay down.

Fucking crazy people ruin everything.
All is good in Pixieland and also Mesa, Arizona!!
Crazy, ahole captured and no additional casualties, other than the 5 souls he shot earlier this morning.
My hospital broke lockdown and all returned back to crazy normal around here.
I’m expecting hubby home early today for two reasons:
1) He worked late the last couple of days in a row.
2) Spring break starts!
Ok, enough of this. Must have a shower and get some clothes on.
still not showered and dressed. What’s that about?
I’m soo not in the mood to work today. I think that’s why I’m putting off my shower. If I’m dressed, it means I should be at my desk working.
I’m ready for work, but my work day will last as long as my commute.
Splain!
We work nine hour days M-Th and then 4 hours on Friday, but this week I had to stay later by two hours, so I’m only working two hours today.

I’m clean and clothed, and I even opened all the curtains in the house. I’d say it was to let the sun in but it’s raining.
Happy birthday to Freema Agyeman! By FARRRRRRRRR my fav Dr. Who companion evar
I was going to call you a dirty old man but she is 35.
Righto!
BTW, her being the hottest of the companions wasnt the reason shes my fav. But damn it helps…
/what is this, 1960?
It’s a shame the Doctor was too racist to truly appreciate her.
(I’d also rate her as the best-looking – – although Clara is a close 2nd.)
Yeah I never made it to Clara so I cant compare the two.
I’m still partial to Donna
I do like her too.
I hated Donna…hated, hated, hated!?)?!
We know….
Oh have I mentioned it before?
Oh do you?
Ahem!
Is that because her “Worships the Doctor” attribute score wasn’t high enough?
Ed winds
Also WINS!!!!
I loved Dr. Donna. It brought something new to the show, other than the typical companion (romantic interest) aspect.
Indeed. Was a very sweet ending to her as well. One of the more heartbreaking. Also why I like Martha as she was never a love interest of his either
My opinion is rather coloured by her sketch comedy shows she did before Dr Who, I found her annoying then. Being in Doctor Who didn’t stop her being annoying.
I fear that the romantic/flirty theme has become an integral element of the show. It was even there with Martha and Donna, if not as prominent.
It’ll be interesting to see if they can pull off this Geezer Capaldi experiment without alienating their core modern fanbase.
Actually not having The Doctor flirting with Donna was a kopout and rather ageist of the BBC writers.
Fav will always be Captain Jack, even if he wasn’t a long running companion
One of my fav scenes in the first season of the new DW, was the Doctor telling Rose to accept Captain Jack’s sexuality.

It never ceases to amaze me how death metal bands can create lush acoustic music.
Very nice.
Have I mentioned that I’m a sucker for 3/4 or 6/8 time tunes? 🙂 Okay not all, but this definitely qualifies.
I think death metal bands are drawn to power, atmosphere, and dissonant/minor chords and phrasing, which often translates nicely to acoustic instruments.
I dig this, Rhett. I’d never heard of them before.
Glad you liked it cynful. I’ve listened to Agalloch on and off for a long time. They sort of defy a label, but I would call them folk death metal. Very drone-ey, melodic and melancholy music from some indy band from Portland. Listening to them today I thought there were some Floyd influences as well.
LIKE!
Last night I watched “For your Eyes Only”. Really not to bad.
A rather big step up from “Moonraker”.
The whole, “under aged nymphomaniac ice skater ” thing was unnecessary and creepy but other than that, not to bad.
Hey! Like yourself Im watching all the Bond’s as well in prep for SPECTRE next year. But Im also the listening to the James Bonding podcast after each. Its a fantastic companion piece to the films done by loving Bond enthusiasts that arent afraid to call BS on anything. Its been a lot of fun.
Are you watching them in order of the films or the books? Or is that too much of a dorky question?
Watching them in order of the films.
Apart from the fun of watching as pop culture changes, it is a real lesson in the history of film-making. You can see how, as the decades have progressed, our attention span as a viewing public has apparently grown shorter and SQUIRREL!
Its true ALTHOUGH i will say that 1963’s From Russia With Love is a clinic of fantastic filmmaking. It may not look it now, but the story behind how they pulled it off is incredible. Still stands up and probably the most classic of Bond films
Squirrel? Where?
The goldfinger episode…WTF!!!!
Skating over the iconic laser scene WTF!
Ok you happened to pick the wrong one to start with… the two ladies arent regulars.
I know! Enjoyed ‘From Russia With Love’ episode.

Mind boggling from Twitter:
@emmielouli: I just saw a Facebook post from a teenager, it was an image of a floppy disk, with the caption ‘lol someone 3D printed the Save button’.
I’ve been off the 5+2 diet for the last month (being Ill and then the stress of the renovation)’ really need to start again but apathy has struck big time this week.
The answer is 7.
I did alternate day (fast one day, eat the next) for about a year and went from 220 to 180. Then the reasons to stop hit and the apathy picked up. Now I’m back to 210. I sympathize. Fasting is not easy.
I love this show. I love Todd. and I’m gonna quote an AV club commenter.
“Forte has literally never written a character for himself who wasn’t aggressively offputting, I expected nothing less from this. I kind of thought we were past the point of needing our TV shows to be led by likable characters.”
Perfect.
And now Van and I fisticuffs.
I was cringing through most of the episode.
Yet I bet you were a fan of the British office
Nope, couldn’t get a way with it.
You have a bad case of vicarious embarrassment dont you?
I’m going to say No! Just in case.
We liked E4 better than the others. Still sticking with it, but so far only because of KS.
Ironic, considering how much of a butt hole Lars is, that he really isn’t all about that bass.
A hearty ‘goddammit Rhett’!
Ulrich!
Has taken my bass,
Taken my track,
Taken my hearing.
Now sing that as METAL! \m/
Taken my bass!
Taken my track!
Taken my hearing-uh!
\m/
Legend had it that for that album, Lars would only record in 30 second increments before stopping and insisting that his snare drum head be switched out. I’m sure this is an exaggeration, but I’m also sure it’s based in some truth.
I bet you he went thru 1000 of them while recording St. Anger. Cause that’s all you hear on that pile of shit
I never listened to that album, but the conjecture on the interwebs was he was using metal trash can lids instead of a drum set.
And Ms. Anderson is more beautiful than ever. I hope this is better than the confusion that was the movie.
The movie (the last film anyway) wasnt all that confusing as much as it felt like an unnecessary and long episode
Just 6 episodes!
I actually happy that they gave Chris Carter only 6 episodes to start with. While the series was excellent, the final seasons suffered from a lack of clear narrative. Perhaps the limited run will keep Mr. Carter more focused.
Rhett’s right and I agree 100%. As much as I LOVE the series, Carter completely painted himself into a corner – so much so that I think his writers just said “fuck it” and gave up. X-Files always did work best with small story arcs and one off episodes.
It’s the dog that really did it in for me.

I’ve made the switch to drinking Powerade from Diet Coke, while at work.
But as I drink my first one, I’m concerned about the number of calories and amount of sugar that is in this Powerade and if it really is a healthier alternative to diet soda…
I made the switch to water with the random lemonade or coffee a few years ago.
I’m sure your teeth at least appreciate the change.

Here’s one of those “If you put this in a script, an editor would make you take it out as being way to cliche'” stories.
Just talked to a friend who had an appointment with the TSA this afternoon to get their “star” clearance so they didn’t have to go through the Airport Kabuki Theatre any more.
She was 45 minutes late for her appt because she had simply been given a street address and it turns out the TSA office is located in a block of nondescript buildings … in an industrial park … that has no street signs … and doesn’t show up on the GPS. Try as she might, she could not find a phone number to call and ask where they were.
When she walked into their office, late … they could see her head was spinning and were all very gracious. Immediately said “Couldn’t find us could you? We REALLY wish they would let us put our phone number on our web site but Homeland Security won’t let us give it out.”
Pretty funny really, if you don’t actually have to try and find them.
They’re from the government and they’re here to help 🙂

Counter crap joke:
A man walks in to his doctor’s office for his 40 year check up. As he waits for the doctor to come in to the room he notices 3 items on the counter – a rubber glove, some KY jelly, and a pint of beer. The doctor walks in and the man points at the items and says, “Look, Doc, I know what the glove is for and I know what the KY is for. But, what is the beer for?”
The doctor, livid, picks up the beer and shouts to the nurse, “Dammit! I asked for a butt light!”

That’s probably the best Marvel easter egg, even though BH6 wasn’t marketed as a Marvel movie. 🙂
I liked it.
I loved it until about 2/3 the way through when it seems like some producer figured they had reached the end of their target audience’s attention span and just switched to “Blow everything up!” mode.
Then I just liked it.

Your crap joke for the day:
Three men are sitting naked in the sauna. Suddenly there is a beeping sound. The first man presses his forearm and the beeping stops. The others look at him questioningly. “That’s my pager,” he says. “I have a microchip under the skin of my arm.” A few minutes later a phone rings. The second man lifts his palm to his ear. When he finishes he explains, “That’s my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand.” The third man, feeling decidedly low-tech, steps out of the sauna. In a few minutes he returns with a piece of toilet paper extending from his rear. The others raise their eyebrows. “I’m getting a Fax,” he explains

I just heard a similar story from September last year in which the woman tried vacuuming up the spiders and the exterminator recommended she incinerate her vacuum. I don’t have the fear of spiders, but I don’t like messing with the poisonous ones.
I wouldn’t believe him.
There is at least 1 study that shows vacuum cleaners are an effective way to kill spiders.
http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S1678-91992007000300005&script=sci_arttext
The discussion provides a good evaluation and discussion of the various issues with using a vacuum cleaner to kill spiders and even roaches. The general consensus is to dispose of the bag/contents immediately. And they also qualify the results by pointing out a vacuum cleaner is just a tool and not a guaranteed way to kill spiders.
So putting the cleaner outside and burning it is rather excessive do you think?
Just a *huge* bit. 😉

CW: The Last Man on Earth E3
Still not laughing…
I have caught the first two (mostly because I’ll watch anything with Kristen Schaal). But, I have a hard time having anything close to sympathy for anything the last man on earth does. He’s an astoundingly shallow douchebag and the preview they gave of episode 3 as the end of two looks like he’s not going to get any better. It’s like a bunch of asshats that drive around cars with “no fat chick” stickers wrote this playing a game of “what if you got stuck in this situation”.
And that’s the point of his character and why I give the show massive props for portraying him that was as opposed to the stereotypical ‘aw shucks’ good guy that gluts the majority of today’s sitcoms. I assure you the writers are going the sympathetic route on Carol and not Phil

There’s a local AZ group called Cult Classics who do theater screenings of, um, cult classics. This month it was the Road Warrior. And let me tell ya, it had been awhile. . . but this was seriously a fantastic big screen experience. The movie is 10x more exciting than I remember.
And while I’m excited for the new one, I just don’t see how CGI can match the real stunt driving thrills of the battle scenes in this one.

I had to drive 4 hours to a 1.5 hour meeting in Georgia and then drive back again. Fortunately, the cafeteria where the meeting was had corned beef. When I got home, there was still time to have a few beers. As far as celebration, I split 1/4 beer between my three dogs so they could feel like it was a special day. Oh, yeah and we watched Leprechaun Origins. It was a right piece of shit.

Was just evangelized to at work. Wtf?
Was it Evil evangelizing?
BTW, not cool they did that.
It was Easter evangelizing! I’m 3rd biggest boss here and got the pleasure of “talking to” the guy. He does not see the big deal…
Easter is a choice….
What, you didn’t want to hear about how rabbits lay eggs that people subsequently eat?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu8XDWG6x2k
Terrifying!
You made it through the awkward talk. This deserves a beer.
Oh wait, you probably can’t drink on the job.
I would love to talk to that person if they can explain Easter Grass.
Oh that’s the devil’s work
That fellow at least needs to get his story straight:

And so… Its like an episode of Grey’s Anatomy here at work today….
A crazed gunman is on the loose outside my hospital, shooting people. We are on lockdown. So strange and surreal to be in open heart surgery, almost *trapped* there, and once removed from the chaos this city is under right now. 🙁
Good luck Pixie. Stay safe and stay down.
🙁
Fucking crazy people ruin everything.
All is good in Pixieland and also Mesa, Arizona!!
Crazy, ahole captured and no additional casualties, other than the 5 souls he shot earlier this morning.
My hospital broke lockdown and all returned back to crazy normal around here.

Morning Pan
I’m expecting hubby home early today for two reasons:
1) He worked late the last couple of days in a row.
2) Spring break starts!
Ok, enough of this. Must have a shower and get some clothes on.
still not showered and dressed. What’s that about?
I’m soo not in the mood to work today. I think that’s why I’m putting off my shower. If I’m dressed, it means I should be at my desk working.
I’m ready for work, but my work day will last as long as my commute.
Splain!
We work nine hour days M-Th and then 4 hours on Friday, but this week I had to stay later by two hours, so I’m only working two hours today.
Maths!
Not redundancy!
There.
I’m clean and clothed, and I even opened all the curtains in the house. I’d say it was to let the sun in but it’s raining.
Happy birthday to Freema Agyeman! By FARRRRRRRRR my fav Dr. Who companion evar
I was going to call you a dirty old man but she is 35.
Righto!
BTW, her being the hottest of the companions wasnt the reason shes my fav. But damn it helps…
/what is this, 1960?
It’s a shame the Doctor was too racist to truly appreciate her.
(I’d also rate her as the best-looking – – although Clara is a close 2nd.)
Yeah I never made it to Clara so I cant compare the two.
I’m still partial to Donna
I do like her too.
I hated Donna…hated, hated, hated!?)?!
We know….
Oh have I mentioned it before?
Oh do you?
Ahem!
Is that because her “Worships the Doctor” attribute score wasn’t high enough?
Ed winds
Also WINS!!!!
I loved Dr. Donna. It brought something new to the show, other than the typical companion (romantic interest) aspect.
Indeed. Was a very sweet ending to her as well. One of the more heartbreaking. Also why I like Martha as she was never a love interest of his either
My opinion is rather coloured by her sketch comedy shows she did before Dr Who, I found her annoying then. Being in Doctor Who didn’t stop her being annoying.
I fear that the romantic/flirty theme has become an integral element of the show. It was even there with Martha and Donna, if not as prominent.
It’ll be interesting to see if they can pull off this Geezer Capaldi experiment without alienating their core modern fanbase.
Actually not having The Doctor flirting with Donna was a kopout and rather ageist of the BBC writers.
Fav will always be Captain Jack, even if he wasn’t a long running companion
One of my fav scenes in the first season of the new DW, was the Doctor telling Rose to accept Captain Jack’s sexuality.

It never ceases to amaze me how death metal bands can create lush acoustic music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYz2s-45Qis
Very nice.
Have I mentioned that I’m a sucker for 3/4 or 6/8 time tunes? 🙂 Okay not all, but this definitely qualifies.
I think death metal bands are drawn to power, atmosphere, and dissonant/minor chords and phrasing, which often translates nicely to acoustic instruments.
I dig this, Rhett. I’d never heard of them before.
Glad you liked it cynful. I’ve listened to Agalloch on and off for a long time. They sort of defy a label, but I would call them folk death metal. Very drone-ey, melodic and melancholy music from some indy band from Portland. Listening to them today I thought there were some Floyd influences as well.
LIKE!
Last night I watched “For your Eyes Only”. Really not to bad.
A rather big step up from “Moonraker”.
The whole, “under aged nymphomaniac ice skater ” thing was unnecessary and creepy but other than that, not to bad.
Hey! Like yourself Im watching all the Bond’s as well in prep for SPECTRE next year. But Im also the listening to the James Bonding podcast after each. Its a fantastic companion piece to the films done by loving Bond enthusiasts that arent afraid to call BS on anything. Its been a lot of fun.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/james-bonding/id695880236?mt=2
Are you watching them in order of the films or the books? Or is that too much of a dorky question?
Watching them in order of the films.
Apart from the fun of watching as pop culture changes, it is a real lesson in the history of film-making. You can see how, as the decades have progressed, our attention span as a viewing public has apparently grown shorter and SQUIRREL!
Its true ALTHOUGH i will say that 1963’s From Russia With Love is a clinic of fantastic filmmaking. It may not look it now, but the story behind how they pulled it off is incredible. Still stands up and probably the most classic of Bond films
Squirrel? Where?

Legend had it that for that album, Lars would only record in 30 second increments before stopping and insisting that his snare drum head be switched out. I’m sure this is an exaggeration, but I’m also sure it’s based in some truth.
I bet you he went thru 1000 of them while recording St. Anger. Cause that’s all you hear on that pile of shit

And Ms. Anderson is more beautiful than ever. I hope this is better than the confusion that was the movie.
The movie (the last film anyway) wasnt all that confusing as much as it felt like an unnecessary and long episode
Just 6 episodes!
I actually happy that they gave Chris Carter only 6 episodes to start with. While the series was excellent, the final seasons suffered from a lack of clear narrative. Perhaps the limited run will keep Mr. Carter more focused.
Rhett’s right and I agree 100%. As much as I LOVE the series, Carter completely painted himself into a corner – so much so that I think his writers just said “fuck it” and gave up. X-Files always did work best with small story arcs and one off episodes.
