    Anyone pick up a NES mini today? Or planning on getting one eventually?

    After hitting up Target only to be told they were sold out, I went to Best Buy where the line was short, but saw that people were getting redemption tickets. Thinking I missed my chance, the Best Buy clerk came out and I got a redemption ticket (17 of 19, to be exact, so I got real lucky)...

    Jean-Claude Van Jonson has the potential to be a really funny show.

    Thanks to a thread in the Scifi forum I watched 'The Tick' for the Amazon Pilot season. Another show I saw listed that I never heard of was 'Jean-Claude Van Johnson.' The basic premise of this show is that JCVD plays himself... who's also a secret agent who uses movie shoots as a cover. The...

    Who else enjoys the Pink Panther film series?

    Ever since I was a child I've enjoyed these films, my parents introduced me to them and over the years I saw most of the ones starring Peter Sellers. The only one with him (kind of) I didn't see was "Trail of the Pink Panther." The idea of watching a film comprised of outtakes and deleted scenes...

    Is there any reason why they reduced the number of Entrances to Engineering?

    I was reading another thread and someone brought up the fact that they number of entrances to Engineering was reduced from four to two after the Pilot episode by putting up consoles. After doing some digging I noticed they didn't bother changing the carpet, so it's easy to see where the old...

    Trying to find a song, know very few lyrics.

    I work at a craft store and I routinely hear this one song while I'm stocking. It's a song by a male singer, and since I'm working while it's playing I usually can't hear it too well. But I know one line is "You need, courage courage courage courage..." Courage is repeated for a while, I assume...

    Looking for a name of a book about tv blunders.

    Normally I don't have a problem with finding these things on google, but I'm having a helleva time with this one. I used to have this book (may still have it, but I can't find it). Anyways it was a book about television blunders, it discussed such topics as 'The Chevy Chase Show," that time...

    If Conan had more time, would he have turned his Tonight Show around?

    I started thinking this in the Jimmy Fallon thread on here, but I didn't want to take that one off topic. I know one of the big reasons Conan was booted out was because Leno was second guessing retirement (and his primetime show was crashing and burning). But if Conan's Tonight Show was a...

    Revisited the Robocop trilogy. First film is still great.

    I had been meaning to do a rewatch of the trilogy for a while now, but I don't actually own any of the films. But as luck would have it Encore had them all at various times over the weekend. So I DVRed those suckers and watched them in order. I'm not going to bother with long drawn out reviews...

    Why do the Xbox360 wired controllers have that removable USB adapter?

    I have never understood that. I could see if maybe the controller port on the 360 itself was that big circle connector, but it's not. It too has USB ports for the controller hook ups. So is there any reason that you can remove that adapter? This isn't so much a rant as just a general musing...

    Was the Star Trek 4 Ent-A bridge a redress of the Excelsior bridge?

    For years I've always wondered where the Enterprise-A bridge that was featured briefly at the end of TVH came from. Granted I realize "they build it" is the obvious answer, but I can't believe they'd build a set that was used for only a few minutes of screen time. So I was talking with a...

    I just started watching 'Twin Peaks' and I'm hooked.

    I just finished up the pilot about a half hour ago, and I enjoyed the hell out of it. Before I started watching it, I heard it was a show about slightly quirky characters and a murder investigation. I got that and so much more. What really stands out to me is the locations, Washington almost...

    Dune - The Book and the 1984 film *spoilers for both*

    I just recently finished 'Dune' for the first time. I was at a bookstore a while back and was looking for a book to read when I came upon it, and decided on a whim to pick it up, I am really glad I did. To say I enjoyed 'Dune' is an understatement, I loved it. For years I've heard about...

    Trying to track down a song that's been stuck in my head.

    For the past week I've gotten a tune stuck in my head. The only trouble is I can only remember a fraction of the melody and maybe one line. I do know that it's a song from the mid-90s, and it sounds like it could be grunge, but I don't think it's Nirvana. Anyways, the line is (possibly)...

    How common is it to come across a bootleg GBA cartridge?

    In the last few weeks I've been getting back into the Final Fantasy games. I've got thirteen on the 360, and I recently completed Final Fantasy 6 on the Wii. So for Christmas I asked for FFV on the GBA, and my parents picked it up for me. Well, twenty five minutes into the game, I went to...

    Going to my first audtion (play) next week, and words of advice.

    This spring my school is putting on a production of an original play: a love story about the poet John Keats and his love Fanny Brawne. This is my first ever audition, I've picked up the sides today, looked over them, they don't appear to bad. The audition is a closed reading, but since all...

    The Joneses (2009) - Came out of left field to pleasantly surprise me.

    I have no idea how this movie managed to pass me by. The only explanation I can think of is that it just wasn't marketed that well, because I was watching a fair amount of tv in 2009. I just flipped the tv on and was looking for something to watch, saw Duchovny and almost changed it cause I...

    Trying to figure out the name of an old tv show.

    I really don't have much to go on, not even really a good description of the episode. This afternoon while I was sitting down having lunch, the topic of Brandon Lee accidentally being shot came up. Then my mom said she remembered the star of an old tv show having the same thing happen to him...

    Resident Evil: Retribution. Bit shallow, even by this series standards

    Not really surprised there hasn't been a review thread for this film. I don't believe I've ever seen the Resident Evil movies commented on positively around here. That said, I do enjoy them, I think it helps that I haven't really played the games, therefore I'm not disappointed that they are so...

    What exactly is Regeneration like to the Doctor?

    Obviously no one here is a Time Lord, so no one can know for certain what he must be going through, but a little speculation never hurt. This has always been a thought that has gone through my head a lot since I became a fan of the show. In fact it's probably more interesting to me than the...

    Nic Cage stars in what looks to be the Falls funniest Comedy.

    The trailer speaks for itself, pure hilarity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpMxOjUjweA
