Has anyone seen Tucker & Dale vs. Evil yet? -- nm - bc/nc Oct 21, 12:50 10
- It's a fun film. Not going to blow your socks off, but enjoyable and worthwhile. -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 13:01 3
  - Seems like it would be a spoof of something - con_carnage Oct 21, 13:01 2
    - It's definitely tongue-in-cheek horror. -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 13:02 1
      - And more tongue-in-cheek than horror. -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 13:03
- Wash!!! -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 21, 13:00 2

Note to self: remember when you left a note for yourself to not forget to replace the "lorem ipsum" you put into your resume? - znufrii Oct 21, 12:47 2
- my trick: highlight it in red in your master document, that way you'll never forget -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 21, 12:56 1

ST Poll: What are your thoughts on the music "genre" Dubstep? -- nm - MDH Oct 21, 12:35 47
- I had no idea what type of music this is until minutes ago and even with a gun to my head, I couldn't hum a single bar of one of their songs. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 21, 13:17
- I have failed to get into it. My roommate, who is a musician, really appreciates it, at least from a technical achievement when done well perspective - ty97 Oct 21, 13:00 1
  - *snaps finger* That's the artist I've heard on Turntable - con_carnage Oct 21, 13:07
- didn't like it when it was speed garage, grime -- nm - poxie Oct 21, 12:59
- It is very impressive in small doses. -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 12:56 1
  - Though it's great you mentioned this today since tonight I'm going to a CyberRaver event where there will indeed be dubstep represented among other - Qale Oct 21, 13:00

  - Hey everybody! I'm listening to pmb's niece! -- nm - con_carnage Oct 21, 12:58 1
    - They're actually really good. She plays saxophone. -- nm - pmb Oct 21, 13:09
  - This is a different kind of dubstep. -- nm - MDH Oct 21, 12:57
- Like everything, there's some amazing things and some utter shit. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 12:52 3
  - This. I mean with it being a relatively new genre, we have to go through that early process of weeding out the crap. -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 12:57 2
    - it's been around since 97 or 98 -- nm - poxie Oct 21, 13:01 1
      - I believe I quantified that with the phrase "relatively new." -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 13:05

      - I love how the UK started it, ans now their dubstep princess had to cancel 5 shows because they didn't sell. - MDH Oct 21, 12:48 5
        
        Who started it? -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 21, 12:48 4
        
        It kind of grew out of the "garage" music scene in the UK in the late 90s -- nm - MDH Oct 21, 12:50 3
        
        I mean, who's the dubstep princess? -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 21, 12:55 2
