Clerks is another movie that was WAAAY too over hyped. Was a disapointment the first time I saw it. -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 28, 15:15 11
- I don't like movies with alot of words in them. -- nm - Redmond S.I. Jan 28, 15:23 3
  - I loved Pulp Fiction -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 28, 15:23 2
    - It used small words. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 15:24 1
      - Say "what" one more time! -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 15:24
- tt hype made me see it and the rest that were rentable back then. i still enjoyed them, mostly. -- nm - b! Jan 28, 15:19 3
  - TT hype is a sexy, seductive temptress -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 15:20 2
    - i think my first "ok, ok already!" were the kevin smiths, iron giant, and maybe matrix. -- nm - b! Jan 28, 15:25
    - ... which, once you've capitulated to it, sometimes ends up looking like a naked, drunken kevin smith impersonator -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 15:23
- I never "got" it. Probably never will -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 15:17 2
  - I turned it off the first time I tried to watch it. Hated it. The 2nd time though, I saw the light. - Boo Boo Kitty Vermin Jan 28, 15:18 1
    - And now I got to pass the mic to you -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 15:20
Has anyone here heard of a Kora? I got my first listen on Monday -- (link) - CQ Jan 28, 15:13 [flickr]
*snicker* Massive Attack - Daydreaming ... sounds like a Lonely Island song -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 15:12
ST Poll for Andie: What is your favorite Kevin Smith film? The choices are - con_carne Jan 28, 15:11 19
- Chasing Amy and Clerks 2 -- nm - secretslacker Jan 28, 15:22
- Dogma -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 15:21 1
  - Zack and Miri Make a Porno is pretty darn good too though. -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 15:22
- After seeing Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, it occurred to me that I don't like Kevin Smith movies. - Beryllium Jan 28, 15:20 1
  - (You're probably wondering, "What the hell has that got to do with Kevin Smith movies?") - Beryllium Jan 28, 15:21
- Dogma -- nm - mrfuzzy, Steelers fan Jan 28, 15:20
- I think it's actually JSBSB. Chasing Amy is easily his best though -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 15:16
- Clerks -- nm - Inigo Jan 28, 15:14
- Chasing Amy, but just ahead of plain ole Clerks. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 28, 15:13
- Clerks - Mel Profit Jan 28, 15:13
- Dogma, but J&SBSB is a very close second. -- nm - Boo Boo Kitty Vermin Jan 28, 15:13
- I liked him as Ares on Xena -- nm - peglegpete Jan 28, 15:12
- Chasing Amy and it's not close. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 15:12
- But I want to pick Jersey Girl! - Cuzzin Todd Jan 28, 15:12
- Gigli -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 28, 15:12
- Dogma. Sweet sweet Salma -- nm - CQ Jan 28, 15:12
- Chasing Amy. But i'm surprisingly fond of Clerks 2. -- nm - El Fandie Jan 28, 15:11
- Dogma -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 28, 15:11
- Mallrats -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 15:11
This is an outrage. I propose we come up with our own list of the Top 100 debut albums of all time - con_carne Jan 28, 15:08 3
- i'm gonna be on the short list of people who list 'East West' from the Paul Butterfield Blues Band -- nm - peglegpete Jan 28, 15:14
- starts the pesky: subjectively or objectively? ;) - -- nm - b! Jan 28, 15:13
- glutton for punishment! -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 15:11
NSITWAP because it's funny: Someone reprogrammed electronic signs in Austin to warn of zombie attack -- (link) - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 28, 15:03 4
- hehe. (aside from the hazard thing.) "computer genius" could be a kid who can google, apparently. -- nm - b! Jan 28, 15:12
- awesome -- nm - CQ Jan 28, 15:08
- I dare question the legit nature of this news article. - Qale Jan 28, 15:07
- hee. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 15:06
I just read that list and wow is that a mess. I think my heads about to explode complaining about it to my gf. -- nm - Krusty Jan 28, 15:01
Yeah, I plunked down the $12 for the 1000 Microsoft Points to spend 800 of them on the Fallout content - oblique Jan 28, 14:58
Oh, and Little Earthquakes is cheating when Y Tori Kant Read exists. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 14:57 17
- *throws the flag* When you're in a band with Matt Sorum and then you're not...it's two seperate things. - Mel Profit Jan 28, 15:01 4
  - the Billy Joel thing reminded me of it. - Reagen Jan 28, 15:03 3
    - "worst debut", that is. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 15:03 2
      - but the hair...and...the sword and...*thud* -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 28, 15:04 1
        
        the *schwing* noise sword? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 15:05
- Not if they allow Lauren Hill -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 28, 14:58 11
  - thats a compeletly different situation. Lauryn was part of a group and her album was easily distinguishable from the Fugees -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 15:01 10
    - Then good gravy...Y Kan't Tori Read applies here. - Mel Profit Jan 28, 15:02 9
      - but it was still JUST her. you could site several instances of bands changing their sound, but a SOLO debut is not that band -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 15:03 8
        
        It wasn't just her. It was a full band of which she was simply a part. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 28, 15:05 6
        
        "...Amos formed a music group, Y Kant Tori Read." - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 15:11 1
        
        "Little Earthquakes" is her debut as a solo artist. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 28, 15:16
        
        it's kind of a thin line. - Reagen Jan 28, 15:10 3
        
        it's totally different! *throws crap* -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 28, 15:14 1
        
        there there, Mel. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 15:15
        
        Not really, this isn't like including Tin Machine -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 28, 15:13
        
        and changing your drummer DOES NOT count - otherwise Pearl Jam has at least 3 debut albums -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 15:05
*adds The Crystal Method - Vegas to the list* -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 14:56 8
- ill second that. outside of the Chemical Brothers - they were popular electronica at the time -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 14:57 5
  - hmm, that reminds me, I need to get a Massive Attack album at some point -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 15:01 4
    - most people would recommend Blue Lines, but I'm quite partial to Mezzanine. -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 15:03 3
      - any one that has Tear Drop on it will do. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 15:05 2
        
        that'd be Mezzanine (and good taste, btw :) -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 15:07 1
        
        hey, not my taste; it's the theme song for House -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 15:08
- finally, a non-crazy suggestion from you. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 14:56 1
  - *takes a bow* -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 14:57
DMM: Do i want to see a Q&A with Kevin Smith after Clerks 2? or Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back? -- (link) - Andie Jan 28, 14:53 28
- I like Clerks 2. I do not like Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 15:01 7
  - I loved Jay and Silent Bob SB -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 28, 15:13
  - It's ridiculously silly - not for everyone, but I liked it a lot. -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 15:02
  - confession: Jay and Silent Bob is the only one i'd never seen, so, that's what i'm seeing. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 15:01 4
    - i think that's the only one of his i saw in a theater. i laughed more than i thought i would; but a lot of that was in an ohmygosh way, iirc. -- nm - b! Jan 28, 15:17
    - ~ hey there, mister science guy... ~ -- nm - Sean William Vermin Jan 28, 15:10
    - I know this is kind of way out there, but unlike the rest of Kevin Smith's films, that one really isn't *about* anything and holds no real witty - Qale Jan 28, 15:09 1
      - I can concur with this and still maintain it's funny enough to be well worth watching. -- nm - Boo Boo Kitty Vermin Jan 28, 15:13
- I'd sit through all of it, but that's just me -- nm - budice Jan 28, 15:00 6
  - yeah, I'm thinking same. I *still* haven't seen Mallrats -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 15:01 4
    - See it -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 15:04
    - it's cheap to do all 6. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 15:02 2
      - it's the three night commitment that holds me back -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 15:03 1
        
        i hear ya. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 15:04
  - yeah, it would be fun, but i just don't have three nights in a row to sit in a theatre. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 15:00
- I'll be seeing him at RTH on the 7th, I can't wait -- nm - J Jan 28, 14:57 3
  - how much were tickets? -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 15:01 2
    - for 2 with service charges around $135.00 -- nm - J Jan 28, 15:02 1
      - not crazy. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 15:03
- Q&A -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 14:57 2
  - there's a Q&A after both .. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 14:59 1
    - In that case, my vote is for Mallrats -- nm - con_carne Jan 28, 15:01
- Jay and Silent Bob is better. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 28, 14:54 3
  - trigger is pulled - this is what i'm seeing. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 15:00
  - but Clerks 2 has Rosario Dawson -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 14:55 1
    - by that logic she should see "Alexander". -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 28, 15:03
- I agree with your leaning. -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 14:53 1
  - now i'm reconsidering Chasing Amy.... dammit. -- nm - Andie Jan 28, 14:54
Oh oh! Here's a big vote for Tigermilk by Belle & Seb -- nm - rollo Jan 28, 14:52 2
- Nice one. -- nm - Vermin's wandering days are over Jan 28, 14:55
- huh? - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 14:53
Definitely Maybe by Oasis. Tight. -- nm - Loyola Jan 28, 14:51
no dreamboat annie? - dogbert183 Jan 28, 14:51 1
- or I have to start reading it more closely -- nm - dogbert183 Jan 28, 14:53
TFox - even on College Dropout - Kayne only really 'rapped' to the extent that Lauryn Hill did - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 14:50 1
- Every non-skit on that record is a rap song. Same for all of his first three albums. - TFox Jan 28, 14:53
regardless of their current overexposure and suckiness - Parachutes was a legitimately good album -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 14:47
Was Alabama 3 on that list? (Exile on Cold Harbour Lane) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 14:45 5
- Which reminds me of Billy Joel's (Cold Spring Harbour). -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 28, 14:48 2
  - i was going to say Elton John, but apparently he had one before his self-titled album -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 14:52 1
    - that was so bad it sent him to a mental institution. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 14:57
- I don't think that was thier 1st one was it? I'm not sure -- nm - Remlik Jan 28, 14:46 1
  - according to wikipedia it was, yes -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 14:46
Salesmen are weird. - Dr.Vermin Jan 28, 14:44 5
- Did you ask him if Pink Floyd had a better debute album than 'Piper'? -- nm - Spawn Jan 28, 14:46 1
  - I corrected myself, dammit! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 28, 14:49
- heh - to be a good salesman, you have to believe in your product. So the weirder the product, the weirder the salesman -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 14:45 1
  - That computes. - Dr.Vermin Jan 28, 14:50
- what band was that? -- nm - dogbert183 Jan 28, 14:45
LYC: Logan, dressed for a blizzard. -- (link) - Spawn Jan 28, 14:42 [flickr] 7
- "You'll shoot your eye out, kid!" nm - ralph wiggum Jan 28, 14:57
- too. friggin. adorable. -- nm - kare Jan 28, 14:50
- no bottle of rum????? - Dane Duke Nuuk Jan 28, 14:47
- awesome. He's ready for the Butler Hill. -- nm - Remlik Jan 28, 14:45
- Nice. This was a good winter for awesome snow suit pictures. -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 14:43 2
  - word. This was his first time in the boots. I was about to take them back. -- nm - Spawn Jan 28, 14:44 1
    - Crap, my favorite Jacen one is only on Facebook right now. -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 14:45
And the most glaring ommission is, of course ... - Beryllium Jan 28, 14:39 6
- have we moved on to "suckiest bands ever"? -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 14:47 1
  - nickelback hasn't moved on to anything. That's the problem. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 15:01
- Mike Oldfield and Jean Michel Jarre -- nm - Dane Duke Nuuk Jan 28, 14:41
- Curb was at least mildly interesting. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 14:40
- Bobby McFerrin. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 28, 14:40
- *throws crap at bery* -- nm - dogbert183 Jan 28, 14:40
no quiet riot? - dogbert183 Jan 28, 14:39
Worst overall inclusion: Norah Jones. - Reagen Jan 28, 14:39 4
- theres a few decent songs on their, but overall - i agree - not a great album by any stretch -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 14:48
- pleasant enough but appeals to a much more mature market and besides Carol King was better in her time -- nm - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 28, 14:45
- i liked it a lot but it also got booring after while so it's not an all time debut - Dane Duke Nuuk Jan 28, 14:40
- I second this as well. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 28, 14:39
no hootie? - dogbert183 Jan 28, 14:38 10
- damn your IM, I was just about kick you -- nm - zeitgeist for dogs Jan 28, 14:43
- One of those bands that is awesome live. -- nm - Spawn Jan 28, 14:40
- Not kidding: that should have been there. -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 14:39 6
  - *bookmarks post for future arguements to prove you are insane* -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 28, 14:53
  - especially if you're going to start adding bands like Garbage based on hits - Hootie's debut was chock-full of them -- nm - Guy is so happy to be back in Portland Jan 28, 14:48 1
    - Hits aren't the reason I'd add Garbage, it's a legitimately great album. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 14:50
  - I'd have lifted a finger then put it back down. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 14:39 2
    - I'm not mad about it or anything, but it should be there. -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 14:40 1
      - I had never heard of them when I saw them open for Big Head Todd & The Monsters. - Spawn Jan 28, 14:43
- "The Blowfish. The Blowfish, Jon. They couldn't even get Hootie." -- nm - Max Jan 28, 14:38
Ben Folds Five: Ben Folds Five -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 28, 14:38
