cant wait to listen at work tomorrow!
thanks, ladies. thadies!!!
Yippe! *Clicks heels in the air*
Did my iTunes just detect a new TLI?
Fantastic!
What up bitches?!?!?
Great episode! Loved Aimee's tirade about being ditched...
I would have gone all Jack Nicholson in "The Shining" on his ass...
I've felt so guilty b/c I left this podcast unedited forEVER.
Steph...I tried to download Buffy. (I can't find a good copy). Where can I get it online?
Here, here, and here, Kim. Caution: the first season can not be fully appreciated on first viewing. I skipped through until I was completely hooked (which didn't happen until half way through season two) and then went back later to enjoy season one. Enjoy!
Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus on Syfy on Saturday night. 9 pm.
be there!
This ABC promo is just weird.
Matthew Fox needs a haircut and to get rid of that god awful soul patch.
wish i could take credit for the coconut head video. but that was Jamie who posted that (thamie!).
here's the link to the video that Jamie found a few threads back: Jack and his Coconuts
Thx Steph. I'll dl when I get home.
BaconGenie?
that email was not from me I wish it was though :(
I love the randomness of that promo, you'd never see something like that on US telly, although Matthew Fox cooking dinner with Teri Hatcher is almost as random.
Also, someone needs to introduce America to proper bacon, that crispy stuff just doesn't cut it!
not crispy bacon > crispy bacon
- i gotta tell you, as a vegetarian of 20 years, i don't miss small pieces of chewy ham, but i still drool at bacon double cheeseburger commercials. crispy is where it's at.
- in the year 2009, DVRs shouldn't cut off the end of Mad Men.
- lovely podcast good ladies!
I love it when Kim doesn't take stuff out.
Andrew., and it was a beautiful ending. My direct tv DVR records til the end of programming. I hear Tivos are limited by time.
Aren't we all, in effect, limited by time.
I'm so ~deep.
lovely podcast, ladies.
or is that "lovely podcast ladies?" ga-row!
was watching Exodus Part I last night. man, Vincent swimming after the raft is some damn fine television. that Giacchino guy can write some music.
Hey peeps!
Well - I went and did it - after being free and clear of payments on 2 cars for almost 2 years, I just couldn't take the freedom from debt anymore and on Sunday I traded in my "clunker" van for a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe. It's pretty damn cool. First car I've had with a USB port - you can stick in a USB drive with mp3's on it and *blip* - up comes the title of the first song on the display and starts playing.
in the year 2009, DVRs shouldn't cut off the end of Mad Men.
After having it happen multiple times, now I come within inches of taking sledgehammer action when my DVR pulls that shit. COME ON Comcast! WTF! You seriously can't update you're f-ing programming grid so that SCHEDULED program overages (like when Lost goes 5 mins over) are taken into account?!? This is why I always extend the record time by 2 or more minutes on shows that are important (or 6 mins for Lost). I sympathize - very frustrating.
SUPER psyched to read about the Kids in the Hall reunion. Hope it's not too hard to get a hold of (TWSS) in the US.
Ryan, I'm limited by money.
Congrats on the new car MB! My mom needs a new car, but I'm passive agressively ignoring it until she realizes she doesn't need as big as car as she thinks she does. Her old car was unfortunately not a clunker.
Every single day I add an extra minute onto my DVR recordings to make sure I don't miss the end of any of them. Even when they record the length they're supposed to run, for some reason the cable company never seems to know what time it actually is.
These photos are a good argument for why there should not be poodles. Sorry poodle fans.

/setup
KABLAMO!!!
also, Steven Seagal: Lawman the new reality series!
Holli, those photos made me sad.
Palmer, they weren't kidding, were they?
Uh oh...I DVR'd Mad Men too, I hope it doesn't cut off. However, Mad Men is on at least twice a day here, so I stand a good chance of catching the last couple of mins if it does.
I'm seeing a movie Thurs night...Basterds or District 9?
That's hard, Kim. Don't let District 9 get out of theaters before you see it. See IB.
as someone who isn't a huge Tarantino fan, i say go see District 9.
i havent seen Basterds so i dont know if its good or not. but District 9 sure is.
If the LOST characters were superheroes.
Holli
that article is pretty darn funny.
not sure i'd put Jack as Batman though.
Jack would put himself as Batman though, don't you think.
New LOST art revealed this morning. It's much better than the last creepy Hurley one. And apparently they're going much faster.
Holli
I'm fairly certain the networks purposely run their shows long in efforts to combat dvr'ing. Not sure why they think that will cause viewers to watch live. But whatever. If you're on Comcast had the last min or so of Mad Men cut off, it's On Demand. So you can just watch it that way. I don't even record it seeing how it's always on there. Saves room on my tiny hard drive which is always full.
Anybody notice the date of Roger's daughter's wedding invitation on Mad Men? I didn't. But other bloggers did.
hey hey hey.
still havent started season 2 of mad men. it's in the queue though!
The new Lost art looks like Rear Window to me.
TACTICAL BACON.
Calling it now best ham related thing to happen on this blogspot since Ham Menu
If only that had been created by the DI. I bet it goes great with dipping sauce and ranch dressing.
Holli
Dharma Initiative Canned Bacon sounds fantastic. maybe we can get Kate and Juliet to wrestle in a vat of it?
That goes without saying.
Holli
KA-BACON!
Andrew and other Mad Men recorders -- this week's Mad Men is scheduled to run to :02 past the hour again.
Holli
- thanks for the heads up Holli
- finally got to see Brothers Bloom last night. I liked it but i think i'd built it up in my head a little too much because i'd wanted to see it for so long. Also, i sometimes forget that i disagree with the /filmcast guys and get caught up in their enthusiasm.
- Inglorious Basterds tonight if everything goes right. i have no idea what to expect. my friends seem evenly split between loving and hating it.
- Lost countdown: somewhere around 5 months. piece of cake. mmmm...cake.
Someone buy me this poster please.
First small bit of Season 6 production news o'er at YE OLD SPLOGUE
and it is small (TWSS)
Bacon Camp
Holli
Inglourious Basterds is truly a masterpiece.
Bacon Camp, for real??
FOR REEEEEAL!
man, that bacon stuff looks good. delicious!
almost as delicious as the season one finale of LOST (good segway, no?). i watched the $%#$ out of that finale last night. off to season 2 very soon!
District 9 or Inglourious Basterds? I know this question has already been posed. But I'm about to go see one of them right now. Need help deciding. Right now I'm leaning towards Basterds, as I've heard that it's really nothing like the way it's been promoted. And that really intrigues me.
That's what I hear. That it's not what the promotional stuff makes it out to be. Not nearly as much Nazi killing, and not as much Brad Pitt. More subtitles than anything. I knew something had to be up when I started seeing all the positive reviews from critics. Because if it was the simple "Let's kill some Natsees" flick the ads make it out to be, they wouldn't be saying such things.
I'll most likely see District 9 this weekend. Doubt my wife will want to see Bastards, but maybe I can get that done at some point.
Jordan - there's a movie theater by you that has 9am showings?
I was shooting for 11:30. But I was lazy and I'm instead going at 12:45.
Oh and screw you guys with all your glorious bacon links. I woke up this morning and saw them all, only to have to go eat cereal. Talk about a let down.
I miss cereal.
cereal for the bacon generation?
Bac-Os with milk.
"Bacon is good for me!
Who knew there was so much bacon news on the net?
Started re-watching Man of Science, Man of Faith (Ep 2.1) last night, but stopped because Locke's bone-headed insistence on getting into the hatch kept making me want to punch him in the face and the annoyance was only compounded by Jack's muskrat flashback hair.
I wonder if the reason the Others took Walt was because of Ben's crappy childhood. Maybe Ben identified with Walt and had him taken to keep him from being raised by a crap dad. Reminds me of what Mikhail said to Kate, that the Others give the kids a better life, better than the 815ers. Hard to see how locking your daughter's boyfriend in a bear cage goes with that, but if anyone could reconcile that it would be Ben.

Saw Inglorious Basterds. Loved it. Need to see it again. Jew Hunter deserves an Oscar. Some of the most intense conversational scenes you'll see. Tension, knife, get a room. In my MOST humble opinion, people who dislike it are idiots and simpletons who were deceived by the misleading marketing and who watch CSI and Two and a Half Men. I admit that it's 3/4 subtitled, 90% dialog and Brad Pitt is barely in it. But if you can't get past that to appreciate it, sorry but I'm going to be a huge snob and just call you dumb. ;) Tarantino's best film besides Pulp Fiction. I don't think it's even close.
Only gripe was the inclusion of Mike Myers. There's no way his presence doesn't take you out of the film for his one scene. Way too Austin Powersish. Also, not that it really mattered all that much. But Eli Roth is a pretty shitty actor. Stick to directing dude.
And one other thing. This movie proves a point I've tried to make forever! Enough having people from different countries doing accents!!! I'm so sick of hearing American actors doing shitty foreign accents and vise versa. This movie did it right. Have a German character, get a good German actor. Have a French character, get a good French actress. Have some American characters, get some people who speak Amrrrrrrcannn. Amazing how much better a movie is when you don't have a bunch of shitty accents.
Also another gripe I've had for ages that was avoided by QT. If you're doing a period piece set in a foreign country, where they are likely to speak the local language. Have them freaking speak it! Sane with if you have a film where there are characters from multiple countries. I loved how the characters so seemlessly switched between languages. And it was so well written and for the most part supurbly acted, that for me it didn't feel like I was reading at all. The true mark of a good subtitled film. This is so much better than having the film pretend everyone spoke English and giving them faintly-British accents to make it feel "foreign".
This is not a joke.
There is going to be a MacGruber movie.
I agree, Jordan. Except I like Eli Roth. I like Eli Roth a lot. I know nobody else does. He's sexy... in a creepy way.
The Bear Jew. Don't tell me that's not great.
Yeah, the character was great. And as I said before, Roth's shitty acting didn't hurt it too much. Seeing as how he had maybe 5 lines. But he sucked on all 5 lines. And even when he isn't speaking, he just seems awkward to me. I still didn't really mind. But why does he think he's an actor? Replace him with a better actor and axe the Mike Myers cameo (which goes against what I was saying earlier about accents, btw), and the film just might be flawless. I know some people found Pitt's character to be a bit cartoonish. But I thought it worked and was meant to be that way.
Steph, I think we need to do a podcast.
Ok, flawless is a bit much. Replace that with "even better than awesome". Still though, my point remains.
Listened to Filmspotting's take on the film. (note: if you didn't like the movie and/or don't want to hear them gush about it, avoid.) Apparently there is some either film critic or writer who wrote an essay about how terrible the film is from an ethical/social standpoint. His point being that the film's fictional take on history is like pretending the holocaust never happened. And that the true revenge on the Nazi's is a true and accurate portrayal of events. Haven't actually read this guy's article yet. But I wanted to take the moment to say, wow, what an uppity douche.
Apparently Summer Glau is joining the cast of Dollhouse, and Brandon Routh is going to be on Chuck.
Comment on Mad Men. I recently watched the first couple ep's of the new season. After watching the first two seasons in short-order over a couple weeks, I'm having a hard time watching it piecemeal. Just don't seem to get the same enjoyment out of it. Still like it. Just not quite the same. I'm thinking I might hold out and wait til the season is over. Anyone know how many ep's this season is supposed to be?
And not that this place has been exactly buzzing of late. But did we say something to offend our English pals? I've noticed neither ChrisJesusChrist or SacredMonkeySack have been around much lately. Hope this isn't the start of some kind of war. Cuz we'd totally kick their asses. Again. :P
Jordan, I heard on Scene Unseen that the Jew Bear was supposed to be played by Adam Sandler. Bizarre.
When are you available?
Mad Men- that guy was Paris Hilton's granddad? Awesome.
plan on starting my season two rewatch. let's hope that Ana Lucia doesn't put me off too much.
she seemed like a nice lady during the season 1 finale. but she's just so mean and gruff in season two that i'm put off.
when does Paolo start shitting all over the island? season 3?
The internet in England isn't out, is it? Have they tried resetting their modem?
Ahmadenijad shut down their interwebs.
First they should try shutting their computers on and off. (IT Crowd reference.)
TV on DVD may kill TV. There are perfectly legitimate reasons to wait and watch Mad Men all at once. Then again, if we all do it there won't be a Mad Men. TV is such a mess these days.
I really enjoyed last night's episode, but then again, I watched it this morning and fast forwarded through the way too many commercials. Remember when AMC didn't have commercials? I do.
Holli
I can buy Lost season 5 for 38 bucks from BAM. I might have to put off getting my hair highlighted for a month.
BAM?
I've decided to bank my episodes of Mad Men and watch 3-4 at a time. I prefer watching it that way.
Zac Levy + Brandon Routh = Hell Yeah! Thank you. Who watches Chuck for the storytelling anyway? Not me.
BAM= books a million
Working in Kathmandu for a bit. I'm off to Galiano Island next week for a friend's wedding. Then Nepal for my job.
Mike Myers got the second biggest laugh at my screening of Basterds in London - he's not even as ridiculous as James Coburn in The Great Escape or any other crappy but entertaining accent in war films. Eli Roth was awful in a quite embarrassing way.
Loved the film - Landa especially.
"It's a bingo!"
In my MOST humble opinion, people who dislike it are idiots and simpletons who were deceived by the misleading marketing and who watch CSI and Two and a Half Men.
Jordan - you really ought to be a little more confident in your opinions. Quit selling yourself short man.
Saw District 9 this weekend - commented on it over on the boards - good good stuff. I had a questions about a plot point or two, but overall I can't get it out of my head. That's either the sign of a really great movie or a really crappy one (in this case the former).
HEY Elias!
What? Oh I'm here. Just that when I say something, everyone ignores me.
/wrists.
Hello, Elias. Thanks for checking in. I have no idea, geographically speaking, where you are but I'm jealous.
Steph, Nepal is a country in between China and India and Kathmandu is a city in Nepal.
And if i'm not mistake, isn't Galiano Island near Canada?
"/wrists" is hilarious. as long as it's not true, that is.
elias, why are you on an international tour of awesomeness?
of course it's not true... if you want to get the job done, then you go down the forearm instead of across the wrists.
ahem.
I am of course, joking again.
yes of course
i figured as much. dont worry.
just had to cover all the bases lest someone on the interweb thought i was being a jerk.
when's new Who?
November for the proper next episode, and september/october for his guest appearance in SJA.
Matt Smith sounds weird.
matt smith looks weird.
which is normally a prerequisite for playing the doctor.
I don't think he looks weird. I probably would, if i was drunk. Wouldn't tell anyone about it though.
dude. if you schtuped the doctor, you'd be telling anyone who'd listen.
unless he's another Colin Baker.
Don't be /'ing your wrists Hurlihy! You don't want to play into this silly vampire fad. Next thing you know, you'll have some Twilight kids stalking you.
And sorry MB. I sometimes like to speak in obvious extremes when making a point. It's kinda an unintentional schtick. Plays a lot better when speaking as opposed to on the net. However, my point still remains. The average person is a bafoon. ;)
hErlihy. Sorry.
Umm.
We Emos have been /wrists a lot longer than these Twi-hards.
Yes. But they exist now. So one must be careful. Same goes for Jonas Brothers fans.
i am now two episodes into my season two rewatch and i already want michael to stop yelling about his kid.
in his defense though, man, his baby momma was a cold hearted beeyotch.
I'm watching Ep 2.2 right now. Michael is beyond annoying. If I were playing the Michael drinking game (shot for "Walt," "my son," my boy") I'd already be drunk and I'm 10 minutes in.
Holli
First day of my new school today wish me luck blogspotica!!!!
Good luck Kelly!
Holli
blogspotica wishes you luck!
how did you like Warehouse 13 guy as "Michael's Shitty Lawyer," holli?
apparently, Star Trek is coming back to IMAX theaters. somewhat tempting.
Michael's lawyer/Warehouse 13 guy stood out to me immediately. I had not remembered that actor being on LOST, but then just about every character actor has been on LOST by now right?
Last night's Warehouse 13 was decidedly meh, especially given how awesome the Alice in Wonderland one the week before had been.
Holli
haven't watched last night's Warehouse 13 yet. maybe this weekend.
can anything top WH13's Joanne Kelly's movie SOLAR ATTACK?
What a movie. The hero is the Chairman from Iron Chef America. I hear he's also an early favorite for this season's Dancing With the Stars. I hope they get Louis Gossett Jr. on LOST this season. He's about the only one missing.
Holli
i may watch Dancing with the Stars cuz the Chairman will be on and so will CHUCK "THE ICEMAN" LIDDELL.
"And sorry MB..."
NO need to be sorry man, I get what you were saying.
So annoyed - the f-ers at the Hyundai car dealership scratched my car when they were detailing it (not a foot long gash or anything - but it's very visible - took the paint off). Gotta drive 20 miles out there so the manager can look at it. Oh well.
Thanks for the good luck wishes guys! :)
KA-BLAMO!!!
I didn't notice iTunes downloaded a new TLI 'til just now.
MB did you ever see the Hangover?
Does anyone watch Smallville? It's helped fill the Lost void for me during this hiatus.
I was flipping through the channels and I saw the Flash episode. Liked the ep so I gave the series a chance (I never liked Superman). All in all it's a pretty good show. But be warned, the story and especially the dialogue go on excessively at times. I was watching in 1.5x a lot toward the middle of each season.
A fun drinking game is to take a shot every time someone says something then walks away and the other person just stands there. This is probably the only game that would get you as hammered as if you took a shot every time Michael said my son in Season 2 of Lost.
What NEW shows are people looking forward to?
I've heard a lot of hype about Flash Forward but the premise sounds stupid, kinda reminds me of Deep Impact. Don't know why.
V sounds cool, but Scott Wolf? I could barely stand that guy in Go.
Glee? Wow. There isn't 1 Fox show that makes up for it canceling TSCC. I guess they needed the money to pay the Idol hosts?
Also, has anyone heard of Henry Ian Cusick doing Darwin's Darkest Hour? I thought it was a mini-series on PBS, but found out it's a film.
Also, good luck Kelly. Don't understand why you'd need it though. School is cool.
Also, I say also a lot.
Also, I'm back to posting as tha Kid.
tha Kid,
i didnt watch Smallville until it started featuring other Superheroes and villains pretty frequently. it's not high art but its a fun comic book show.
and its better than Heroes. ZING!
looking forward to V and Flash Forward. i'm really not sold on Day One though.
The new season of Smallville is going to have The Wonder Twins in an episode.
:')
I gave Smallville a chance last season. I heart the charismatic paramedic and Green Arrow. When it comes to dialog I fast forward. I enjoyed it until Lana came back and Bride was the last episode I watched. I bought the first season and watched the first disc. The show started out very good but the CW has milked it dry.
Check out all the Fall tv previews on iTunes.
tha Kid - still have not seen the Hangover - hoping to have time to rent it (and more importantly WATCH it even)
I've only watched the pilot for Glee, but enjoyed the hell out of it. Nice balance between being sincere and optimistic with just a bit of a sardonic edge (they don't take the main characters too seriously). I never use the word "sardonic" - maybe I mean sarcastic. College was a long time ago - lol
I predict Glee and Community will be my new favorite shows of the Fall.
I just finished watching Veronica Mars. I recommend it to all Lost fans. It's a great mystery with layers upon layers.
I'm now trying to get into The X Files. It's arduous.
I just watched The Hangover the other day. Good stuff. Very funny.
slow day, eh, blogspot?
Slow summer.
ladies and gentlemen of the blogspot, it is my honor to present to you
September 5th, INTERNATIONAL BACON DAY
Guess I'll have to take that into account for dinner as I do not know what we're having for dinner yet. Bacon goes with football because a football is a pigskin. New theme for the night!
Holli
Wooooot!
What's the deal with Friday Night Lights this season? Anyone know?
Steph, I think FNLs was put off until Summer '10. Not sure, but I remember reading something like that.
Also (I only said "Also" once this time) if you're gonna watch Smallville, watch it on HDNET or rent/get the early season dvds.
Season 8 was disappointing and by far the worst. I wouldn't have liked it if I hadn't been conditioned to care about the characters. The season was rushed and just awkward. Only the Legion and Supergirl episodes were anything special and the latter is probably just cause I really like Supergirl (on the show, not the comics).
As for X-Files, good luck. I know people like it, but I was just bored by it. Kind of like the 4400 (another show I tried to force myself to like.)
Jericho is good if you haven't seen it.
I still need to finish Red Dwarf, plus I still gotta watch Firefly and Serentiy.
Palmer, saying anything is better than Heroes is like saying food is better than poison.
I like Heroes, but I've come to accept that the show is crap. After their most recent season finale, there is nothing I can say to defend the show.
Re Friday Night Lights S4. I could not stop thinking about it last night because the Oklahoma back-up quarterback is named Landry. It's set to return to Direct TV (good for Steph, not so much for everyone else, though I'm contemplating the switch) on Oct. 28 but not run until the summer on NBC. NBC is the stupidest network ever.
Holli
The reason NBC is the stupidest network ever is named Ben Silverman.
I had wanted to see
Post Grad to see Zach Gilford do something other than Saracen but it seems the movie got a fresh rating of something like 9% from Rotten Tomatoes.
Since I'm done with Veronica Mars, what should I watch next?
I tried Jericho. Couldn't get into it.
I just watched The Boat that Rocked. I'm rather undecided on it. It made me kinda tear up so I say see it.
I finally managed to watch all of Season 1 of Dollhouse. It took forever to get the discs from Netflix. It started slow; I loved that 6th episode that did things a little differently, and I thought the last 2 episodes were pretty kickass. I'm excited for it to return.
I also watched Epitaph One and I can see why they didn't air it. I thought it was okay for what it was, but I didn't see the need to nail down your future. It felt a little, dare I say it, Heroes-like. It also didn't really make sense after the 12th episode as a season finale. Episode 12 made a lot more sense as a finale.
I've also watch The Comeback this week. I really liked it. It's kind of like the British version of The Office, so painful, but you can't look away.
Holli
I think maybe Joss wanted Dollhouse to be canceled. I just don't feel like he's heart's in it. But just a feeling.
Steph, I have a suggestion for you. But I don't think you need to me to say it.
Oklahoma's qb went down and they lost their season opener to BYU! Hahahahahahaha. Kiss my ass Okies. Go play with some tumbleweeds.
Steph, have you watched Dexter or The Wire? I don't remember you talking about them. Either are great. I'm sure Jordan and Mr. Bill would recommend Breaking Bad. One of these days I'm going to try that one again.
