Rita's XIV: The Last DJ

[TheTen-EyedMan]

Never thought of it like that. Most of the coffee we have here comes from Columbia so I thought the whole thing was Spanish culture, not Italian.

Well Juan Valdez made it a business but it all started with the Italians.

[K'Nort]

The 'getting a lot of responses' thing killed him, IMO.
It's like he's trying to impress peeps by making them think he's a real good with the ladies.

No, the use of Ciao killed him.

[i_mmmchocolate]

Actually, no. Coffee-drinking began in Africa and the Muslim world.

[Tadhg]

No it didn't.

Has anyone read The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa? If so, do you like?

It's freakin' awesome.
I thank Stony for putting me onto it.

[i_mmmchocolate]

Pretty sure it went out with medallions and waterbeds.
It may be a regional thing! I hear (and am guilty of saying it) it quite often here.

[Pól Rua]

What's so cool about Scrooge McDuck? I mean I read his stories as a kid, but I never knew people still liked him this much.

Essentially, the fact that the stories are just extremely well-written and illustrated adventure stories, with some great characterization.
For me (and this may seem blasphemous to some) the allure isn't in the fact that the stories are about Scrooge McDuck, but that they are extremely good.

Any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Not to say South Park doesn't have it's moments and isn't better than 99% of funny shows out there (in particular American sit-coms)

[Jack Zodiac]

This reminds me of that mis-en-scenes from season one of the Sopranos. Tony has sent two of his henchmen to find a guy who stole one of his kids teacher's car and they're in a Starbucks and one of them laments the destruction of the Italian culture.

There's also a scene where an obvious Starbucks spoof opens a shop in the neighborhood and two of Tony's boys talk to the manage about "security" and he dances around their threats by saying "every penny that goes through this store is tracked by corporate." Fuckin' hilarious. Starbucks told the Mafia to shove it. Pussies.

"The Simpsons" has been bland and uninteresting for the past few years.


The Simpsons had 10 great years, followed by 7 mediocre ones which are still enjoyable and better than most television. I would put the best 100 Simpsons episodes up against anything.

"The Simpsons" at its best, namely seasons three through eight, were and still are untouchable, but the current fair of "Simpsons" episodes are worse than... well, they're bad. Definitely not as good as current "South Park." And "Futurama" was an incredible show that outshined "The Simpsons" during their shared time on FOX. "In My Humble Opinion." :p

I'm not really disagreeing with most of that. I just think the current Simpsons remain not bad. I even enjoyed this years Halloween better than the last several... "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid"

[Stellar]

Wiki? And here I thought you people were smart.

Pop Culture guy was banned? Well he really stuck it to Joe just cuz he didn't like White Tiger. I mean, I'm a major Wildstorm fan. If Joe said Majestic, Wildcats or Stormwatch was crap, I'd just say I liked it. If he touched DV8, we'd have a big disagreement. But I doubt anyone here would start a thread about how Joe slammed one of their favorite titles.

Still, banning...didn't see that one coming.

[Chris Nowlin]

I don't even know if I'd say it's the best thing ever (blasphemy), but it's damn good, and certainly deserved way more of a chance than it was given byt stupid f'ing networks. Its unfair treatment, combined with its obvious quality, adds to its legend.

I wonder if Sports Night's legend grows similarly. But then, Sports Night IS that good, in my humble opinion.

[Jack Zodiac]

Y'know, I've been trying to keep up with these threads for the past couple, but I don't think I contribute very much in the way of discussion. So here's a story.

The other night, I was going to a friend's house for her kid's fifth birthday party, but I wound up working later than I had to so I lost two hours of my day and had to shop for him really quick right after work. That pretty much ruled out any place like KB Toys, Toys R Us, or even K Mart, so I swung by the Walgreen's on the way to their house hoping the had some dinosaur shit, 'cause the kid's nuts for dinosaurs and Spider-Man. Anyway, I hit the little toy aisle and they've got a small selection of action figures and toys and coloring books and games and shit, and when I reach down for some dinosaur toys, I see something downright hilarious in the games shelf.

The "Desperate Housewives" Trivia Game, ages thirteen and up! Right next to Chutes and Ladders and right about Candy Land. How fucking awesome is that? I look around a little more and it seems the higher up the shelves go, the more adult the games get. The next shelf up had a "Sopranos" trivia game, and above that, "Sex and the City," which were both, thankfully, eighteen and up, yet still frighteningly close to the Kids Monopoly and Twister boards.

[Tadhg]

Yes, the pilot. Otherwise known as the final episode to air. According to the packaging.

Fox didn't like the pilot so they didn't want to air it.

[TheTen-EyedMan]

I don't want to be petty but it lasted 12 episodes so Fox was either stupid, criminally negligent or are just a bunch of assholes.

Feces like According to Jim gets renewed...every year.

Why?

Is it guilt over his brother?

[gary bolt]

Fuckin' hilarious. Starbucks told the Mafia to shove it. Pussies.

When Starbucks was new to Vancouver I went into one with a friend who ordered a medium coffee. The conversation went like this.

Friend: One medium coffee.
Cashier (pointing to cups): Do you mean a "tall"?
Friend: One medium coffee.
Cashier: So, a tall coffee this morning?
Friend: I'm not gonna use your stupid fucking terminology. One medium coffee.

[Chris Nowlin]

Fox sucks dick.


First the marketing people get together to decide if sucking dick is profitable. They have no independent thoughts except to see what the other networks have been up to. Noticing other networks that suck dick and are making money, they follow suit.

They cancel gold, put out derivative crap that's clearly a pale photocopy of things that sucked to begin with, and make a lot of money, because we need more rip-offs of Trading Spaces, and less Carnivale.

[Michael P]

One nice thing about New York Starbucks's is they automatically translate when you order using real sizes.

[morna]

ya, considering the crap that was on tv when we turned it off for good I am dismayed Firefly got cancelled before it really got started.

[StarsAndGarters]

I don't think it's the best thing ever, though Kaylee is.

Kaylee really confused me. She's like the one perky happy person in all of post-apocalyptic space. I like her, but she sure doesn't seem natural to me.

I loved Carnivale. The first season was awesome-- I think that mostly had to do with the fact that they used the same writer.

Well, that sucks. I just finished Season 1. Haven't started 2 yet. I will retain high hopes. This show has me intrigued and that season finale was quite intense. Maybe know that Knauf (sp?) is writing comics, he'll finish off the story here; I remember hearing he had 6 seasons all planned out

Oh, don't get me wrong, there were plenty of great moments in Carnivale. It just wasn't as good as Season 1, in my opinion. Some folks might beg to differ though. I'd be curious to know what you think of it. Before the board crashed a few years ago, there was a massive Carnivale thread in the TV/Film Forum.

Tad's doing a sex book?

What does he think he is...Madonna?

Although Madonna and sexy are two words I'd never use in a sentence.

Just like Angelina Jolie and fuckable.

Unless it was Madonna is not sexy and Angelina Jolie is not fuckable.

So maybe that was a moot point.

When Starbucks was new to Vancouver I went into one with a friend who ordered a medium coffee. The conversation went like this.

Friend: One medium coffee.
Cashier (pointing to cups): Do you mean a "tall"?
Friend: One medium coffee.
Cashier: So, a tall coffee this morning?
Friend: I'm not gonna use your stupid fucking terminology. One medium coffee.

You got a robot, my friend. That majority of baristas I know are so jaded with the company, it would've gone:

Friend: One medium coffee.
Cashier: Dark or light.
Friend: I'unno. Dark sounds good.
Cashier: One medium dark roast. (at which point your friend coughs up one seventy-five for some burnt Indonesian coffee)

Very rarely do I find baristas so far up Starbucks' ass that they force terminology on customers.

[Jack Zodiac]

ya, considering the crap that was on tv when we turned it off for good I am dismayed Firefly got cancelled before it really got started.

I said the same thing when "Strange Luck" was cancelled... a decade ago. FOX is notorious for making shitty programming decisions.

[morna]

well, to be fair this was about eighteen years ago - the baristas were all freshly corporate and stuff

[Gingold]

Besides, a tall is a small anyway. Grande's the medium.

Wendy's is now fucking with me by making the medium sodas something like 95 ounces.

[Jack Zodiac]

I noticed the other day that Wendy's uses actual English words for their sizes now.

Except they still start at "medium" instead of small, and use "Biggie" instead of "large."

No sir, ma'am. I loved that show. Fox used to show some really great stuff that they just never gave enough attention, like "Brisco County Jr." or "Freaky Links," which wasn't all that bad, actually. Compared to shit like "Bones" and "House," those shows were innovative.

I've just been watching Freak and Geeks; that's awesome; as is Carnivale. We've mentioned Sports Night. I hear Blade isn't being renewed and I thought that show was surprisingly well done (largely because they were smart enough to not make Blade the main character)

I think a good measure of quality is how quickly a stupid network cancels you. (But scifi is NOT stupid; may BSG live forever)

Carnivale season 1 was great. Season 2 was terrible.

[howyadoin]

Except they still start at "medium" instead of small, and use "Biggie" instead of "large."The Wendy's I was at didn't have "Biggie" written anywhere on the menu. Let alone "Great Biggie".

The funniest part about that movie are the stories Campbell tells about it when he's at cons. I think he sometimes does movies just so he can have anecdotes to tell. A friend of mine is going to try to get Campbell to star in a movie he's written with someone else. Because Campbell basically does any movie he's paid well enough to do, it's a distinct possibly it could happen. Doesn't hurt that it's a good script too.

I saw Casino Royale last, damn that movie was awesome. There was the danger of moving into Anakin/Amidala romantic nonsense but it was quickly quelled. And I still stand that the first chase scene was better than anything Jackie Chan has ever done.


As far as cancelled TV shows, I am still pissed about the cancellation of Millennium. Once he had to make the choice between saving his daughter or saving his wife the show went straight to dark and became some of the best television I have ever seen.

I loved Seasons 1 and 2 of MILLENNIUM. Personally, I consider MILLENNIUM, Season 2, to be some of the very best, most challenging television of all time. Absolutely incredible season finale. Unfortunately, season 3 was all downhill. With the departure of Morgan and Wong, the show changed direction and lost focus, and deteriorated into a tired conspiracy thriller -an even-more-bad version of late-seasons X-FILES, but without aliens.

See I always loved the show but thought it was better than ever once his wife died. The show got really dark, and I thought was more cohesive during this time. What gets me though is that it is never even factored in when discussing cancelled TV and aside from Sports Night is my favorite cancelled show ever.

By the end of Season II, the show had evolved from being a serial-murder-of-the-week show to being a supernatural thriller about the build-up to the apocalypse and the nature of evil. All that went to the wayside in season 3. Also, the show was already dark. The problem in season 3 was that it moved from darkness to pessimism and paranoia.

The wife and I were shopping in the mall the other day, and we swung through FYE. She was off looking at whatever it is she listens to, so I hit the jazz and easy listening section, and found this: a ten-cd set of early Sinatra recordings for $20 (http://shop.fye.com/product.aspx?sku=202713165&loc=50244). The packaging is shitty--it's a small box, and each CD is in a cardboard sleeve, but it's a bunch of his swing era stuff at a great price.

K'Nort, you heading to Portland or Alaska?

Neither. Palm Springs! With Gus's parents and grandparents and pug. Which is also my first time meeting basically all of them, yay. No pressure.

It's high 70s! You can't have Thanksgiving in that weather! I'm still at a loss as to what to wear.

Changing planes in Denver and Vegas, with a three hour layover in Denver. I figure I'll spend it in a bar, because the rest of the place will be overrun with screaming children. Biggest travel day of the year and all. Leaving at 1:00pm and arriving at 7:30pm their time, 9:30 my time. Long day.

Oh and yes, separate guest rooms.

Wow, I'll have to check that out.

[Typo Lad]

Okay, Luke or Christopher?

Lesse...the last ep I saw was the one after the arrest, and I have to say CHristopher impressed me. He seemed..grown up. The actors ahve good chemistry, which is nice.

I'd have to go either way.

I missed all last season, but don't want to miss this one.

Good luck with that and I hope they are all heavy sleepers (except Gus *hint hint hint*)

By the end of Season II, the show had evolved from being a serial-murder-of-the-week show to being a supernatural thriller about the build-up to the apocalypse and the nature of evil. All that went to the wayside in season 3. Also, the show was already dark. The problem in season 3 was that it moved from darkness to pessimism and paranoia.


Ok I'll buy that, I still liked season 3 though !

I do still need to buy the DVD sets, just haven't been done that yet. I am 3 seasons behind on West Wing and then I can start buying other shows.

This isn't going to surprise anyone, but I'm weird and have a disturbed mind.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch....

There has been venting, and totally justified, about some of the mouth-breather newbies we get. But I'd also like to observe that we have a handful of really cool new (and newish) folks too. So hopefully they don't get paranoid.

I'm also glad that Gary and Morna pop in here regularly now.

You're going to have to break that down, partner.

Worst week ever last week.
Insane at work, home computer took a dump and I got a flat tire. Couldn't even get a "stress relief" because the wife had an allergic reaction to something and she looks like she has chicken pox.

I'm SO looking forward to Thanksgiving to eat myself into a coma.

He's from Englad but in movies like Tomb Raider it seemed his accent was gone. You can still hear an American tone every now and then in Casino Royale. But damn, that movie had me at the edge of my seat.

You know I swear he sounded exactly like Harry Potter at some points.

My God...Casino Royale....best Bond film since Licence to Kill.

Goldeneye was pretty good, I thought. And I like Pierce Brosnan, although Die Another Day was a bit dodgy.

[Michael P]

Oh, man, I've just borrowed a friend's copy of 'Brisco County'. I haven't watched it since 1993 and I am SO loving it.
My love for Brisco County is well-documented.

Y'ever have one of those dreams where you wake up and think, "Where the fuck did that come from?"

Two nights in a row. And last night's was a doozy. I outdid myself for crazy shit.

Sold.

It's always tough on newbies, whether they're good or bad.

Did they ever figure out how to get the stains out?

K'Nort - how long is the flight from where you are up to Alaska? Also, yeah the holidays in Southern Californian are bizzare. I spent several of them down there and I never got use to it. But I'm stubborn, if it's not cold enough to have the fireplace roaring, then it's not a true holiday.
