    What were your grades...

    I'm taking Intro to Broadcasting, which is bascially the same exact class as Mass Media in Society. I don't know why they have two classes just alike, it makes little sense. I wish they had "Movie Directing" or something simular to it. You're really not gonna find anything quite that specific unless you're at a film school. Or someplace really, really big. We've got a couple Cinematography courses, and certainly theater direction, but that's it.

    What are you listening to right now?

    MC Ren, "You Wanna Fuck Her." Try that for smoothness.

    Aliens vs Predator

    Numbers sound cool. It surprises me that a Predator would even bother diving into an Alien den in the first place, but a nice visual for sure. Worst part about this movie will most definitely be the inevitable use of loads of CGI. Alien suits and models look so much better than super-smooth CGI beasties, and they force the cinematographer to actually light and compose shots well.

    The Shins, "One By One All Day." Need a change after overloading on the new album. Oh, Inverted World still holds up pretty well, thankfully.

    Shit You Listened to Today

    the james joyce alter ego stephen dedalus, or is there a stephen dedalus music artist i'm not aware of? The James Joyce. "Protect Ya Neck" doesn't really blend with Portrait of the Artist all that well, but it's kind of a fun mood-setter.

    Shit You Listened to Today

    My indulgent method of listening-while-studying occasionally causes me to confuse Ghostface Killa for Stephen Dedalus, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to accept.
  7. Threatening ass-reamage is a-okay. Posting pictures of spiders is not. Edit: This was my 4000th post. Yuck.

    Aliens vs Predator

    So I'm sure I could find this with a little more research, but I'm having trouble digging up anything more than early jizz-posts for the movie. How have the Dark Horse comics, the novels, and basically the whole Aliens vs. Predator mythos explained how the Aliens ever have a chance of holding their own against the dreadlocked crab-face dudes with lasers?

    What were your grades...

    How does that equal a 3.0 A - 4.0 A - 4.0 B - 3.0 B - 3.0 C - 2.0 Assuming they're all for the same amount of credit, it'd be a 3.2. One of the B's or the C must be for more.
  10. When did the whole "death threats bannable/taking internet message boards really seriously" thing make its way into the rules? It seems like such a random thing to prohibit since any big-time nuisance would fall under trolling anyway.

    What were your grades...

    A- across the board in all five courses. The cumulative GPA tumbles by .12. I am overcome with sorrow. Damaramu, I'm actually surprised that a big public university like OU doesn't use + and -. It's really the only way to have any sort of subtlety in the grading when you're on the grade-point system, and with so many students I'm surprised they don't try to separate them more.

    What are you listening to right now?

    Listening to the Unicorns' album, specifically "Inoculate the Innocuous" at this moment. They're coming to my college along with Rjd2 and Pretty Girls Make Graves, and I'm rather excited.

    Made Up Compilation Albums

    I cut out your Hail to the Thief choices because I think you'd do better to include "There, There," "Myxomatosis," and maybe "A Wolf at the Door," which I tend to find the best tracks on there. You also ought to give a little love to Amnesiac, even if it is uneven. "I Might Be Wrong," "Like Spinning Plates," and "Life In A Glasshouse" are as good and weird as anything they've done. Weirdest was your seeming inclusion of "Thinking About You" in lieu of "Creep."

    X-Men comics

    The only good X-Men out now, in my opinion, is New. Chuck Austen has his hands on Uncanny and it's horrible. Everything up through the Riot at Xavier's and its follow-up, Murder at the Mansion, is currently collected in trades, and Morrison's last 13 issues should be collected in a couple months more. It's amazing, but I honestly don't think you'd like it that much. Nightcrawler isn't in it at all. There is a big romance story you might like, though. You can pick up the first trade (6 issues) for 10 or 12 bucks at most stores, or you can go out and get the gorgeous hardcovers that collect 14 and 15 issues at a time. They're amazing. You'd have to talk to other people to learn about the older incarnations of the comic - I've only read the "classic" stories that my well-read comic friends have picked out for me.

    The One and Only Angel Season 5 Thread

    A great episode, lighthearted, clever, and fun. Looks like next week we're back to the main storyline.

    Von Dutch...

    Go to TJ Maxx and buy oversized pimp fedoras. On clearance for just $15! More hat for your money, and the 4-inch brim never goes out of style.

    American Gladiators

    This game was both incredible and an incredible pain in the ass. Powerball and Human Cannonball were so much easier than everything else. What a goddamn brutal learning curve. 6 year-old me shed many tears over the goddamn Wall.

    The Constantines, "Insectivora."

    The Twilight Singers - Blackberry Belle Blondie - Parallel Lines The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030 !!! - Me And Giuliani Down By The Schoolyard (A True Story) The Blood Brothers - Burn Piano Island, Burn I don't get why The Rapture gets all the dancey-disco-punky-indie kid press while the far superior !!! sorta floats around in the background. Maybe it's cause they're so hard to look up on internet search engines.

    The One and Only Divisional Playoffs thread

    Gametime temp in Foxboro is 4 degrees. And god, these teams are the walking dead. They've been out for a full extra quarter, and it shows. Carolina's going to have to punt again.

    Don't be pussies. You missed the first kick - GO FOR THE GODDAMN ENDZONE, BOYS.

    Middle school chicks expelled for kissing

    I think they'd be more likely to get therapy for beginning down the road to prostitution at a hearty 12 years of age.

    What is Outkast?

    Maybe he confused "throwback" with "quarterback." I mean, the QB *does* throw the ball, so I guess if you're gonna call any position the throw-back... No, I can't buy that either.
