QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 11:35 PM) I don't know if I'd worry about that so much. Every time they hint towards supernatural and/ or sci-fi stuff, they usually end up coming back to the reason being based in reality. For example, look at the plane crash. For a while, it was set up to make us wonder what sort of "cosmic forces" came together to get them on the plane and make it crash. Eventually we find out its all just coincidence and it only crashed because Desmond didn't push the button which released an EMP. i hope so. I reallllly hope so.

hilarious thread. I'm admittedly geeked for the season now. Especially after a 60 degree day here in mizzou.

i just don't get one think. Kenny has cried about the irresponsibility in the spending the market has had this winter, why he would then let that irresponsible market set the price for our players?

i'm real worried one of the final twists will be that on the island time is slowed down, so when they get back to the real world it is far into the future or something silly. What worries me is "only fools are enslaved by time and space" and all the philosopher names in the show, walt being named walt - perhaps to walt whitman whose crossing ferry island (?) poem dealt a lot with talking to future generations and how time didn't exist due to the commonality that we all enjoy. That would really get my goat if walt comes back and he's like 50 and everyones like WHAAAA

well jon stewart has gotten a bit preachy recently, but i think the show is in a transition phase really looking for new talent. The show is almost entirely reliant on stewart now, he has no stephen vs. stephen to pass to anymore, or vance degeneris. I think it's in a bit of a lull but i think it will rise again.

so my friend sent me a youtube link of this. it is fox new's attempt of a "the daily show". It is beyond bad. I mean, beyond bad.

isn't it funny last season when it was all "oh man 5 pitchers locked up for 2 more years we are gonna be good for so long" and then this year its "its over noooo"

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 08:04 AM) For me, Damon staring at the dome made it appear as if he had a connection with it. Whether something happened there, or he just felt emotionally attached. I don't believe it was the same church he was an alter boy for.... y'know maybe this was just one of those "showing off the city" dealies. Like i said, the handjob over boston made me sick. I hate that town.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Feb 19, 2007 -> 05:56 AM) As was I. The entire idea of DiCaprio entering prison in order to have established street credibility never flew with me. Does anyone really want to to be a police officer to the extent that prison time is necessary? And then, upon entering the police force, risk your life to infiltrate an organized crime syndicate? Cmon, now. Someone would have to pay me millions to consider that. Several other points: -If Mark Walhberg isn't in another film ever again I'll be happy -It was never explained what the contents of the brown envelope were -How didn't DiCaprio identify Damon anytime from the theater to the alley? -The ending. Ridiculous, really. I'm not sure exactly how much was taken from Internal Affairs, but it felt jumbled up. Like someone thought, "well, I don't know how we're going to end this, but let's have A shoot B, A shoot C and D shoot A. Then after that, E shots D." -Damon's ability to locate keys while typing into his phone which rests in his pocket. -FBI's camera position in the wearhouse just happened to have a blindspot where the exchage happened. -Why wasn't it explained the connection Damon had with the golden dome atop the church? I figure it's supposed to signify his guilt, but I don't know for sure. -It should have been known from the minute DiCaprio failed to provide his personal information he was the rat. -Tell me that picture the therapist had of her childhood didn't look incredibly bad. -Van Morrison singing Comfortably Numb. Why God? Perhaps I'm being too critical, but being a Scorcese film I expected more from him. It was still a good movie; just not on the level of Goodfellas or Casino. One of the brightest spots of the film is DiCaprio's acting. He has to be considered one of the best actors within my generation. I'll go by points. One - DiCaprio was obviously messed up and at first the thought of taking on a new identity seemed to please him, while he justified it as doing some good. Clearly people do offer to go undercover in major mob families, i don't know how this is different from donnie brasco. -i loved mark wahlberg, he did the best with what his character was, the epitomy of what everyone from boston thinks they are, tough, witty and awful accents. But he just comes off looking like a prick,, like they do. -brown envelope...i'm sure it was just proof of his identity and proof of damon's guilt. It didn't really need to be discussed as he got back to her before two weeks. -for serious? damon wearing a baseball cap and big coat, and never turns around, and whats more is dicaprio has no idea what this inside rat looks like, as opposed to damon knowing what the crew looks like. -i liked the ending, dicaprio clearly being the protagonist and everyone rooting for him to get out of this clean and to take damon down, and to lead everyone into thinking he's in control, only to have the self-serving players in damon take everyone down, and seemingly get away with it, only to have him punished as well. It didn't glorify anyone, just hell out and out and the most complete form of closure. I liked it quite a bit. No real different from reservoir dogs ending. -This doesn't bother me at all, because one time my phone screen broke and i was able to text by memory. -this part confused me. I think it just eccentuated the f***up of the camera guy, who clearly left a large blindspot, or was insinuating that nicholson knew of the raid already and the camera set up. -I'm not sure explaining it was necessary, directors that go out of their way to explain symbolism end up looking like tony scott. -Dicaprio did give his information. He only did not stay and wait with the rest of them. -It did look bad. -I don't know i f'n hate pink floyd.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Feb 18, 2007 -> 06:01 PM) KW has always shown a willingness to sign people, he's just not going to overpay. there comes a point where "overpaying" becomes paying.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Feb 18, 2007 -> 07:14 PM) Has anyone listened to Devendra Banhart. Donavon for the 21st century. He can be a little hit and miss, but when he's good he's very good. his albums have gotten more and more hit and miss. The first half of cripple crow is undeniably good. Rejoicing in the hands is my favorite album. but "like a child" is my favorite track. Saw him last year, he was great. Not so good at pitchfork music fest.

the love over elliot smith really boggles me.

i loved the departed, have to say though, the handjob for boston made me sick.

i think working on character development does advance the story and answers how desmond was seeing the future. I disagree, i think it was a brilliant episode.

never heard of deerhunter, i've heard of deerhoof and sorry but haha to the "lo-fi is the best way to listen to elliot smith"

i'm estimating that a pretty badass piece by seymour hersh is gonna come out in the next couple of months.

the new modest mouse...is...*sigh*

none.

no i think its more that we don't like red hot chili peppers and foo fighters. We all like the police and every yoga mom in the country also likes them.

oh weezer isn't dead silly. just unlistenable now.

haha, i loved when michael tried to talk about pam with jim last season after booze cruise.

chris cornell a voice of a generation lol

well, it seems KW reads soxtalk!

funny though, i had no idea it would be charlie either, but the whole episode i was saying "i hope they kill of charlie" because he was being an especially annoying (slang word) in the beginning. CLAIRE CHARLIE'S HERE TO HELP YOU!!! and the still talking smack when dez was going full speed at him, haha. I hope he dies, useless character, i liked him better on smack.

i love when this stuff happens.
