Speaking of music videos, are there any Michel Gondrys or Spike Jonzes or Chris Cuninghams out there, or is no one doing that kind of work anymore? -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 08:12 1

st poll: Do you record a tv show, but only because the show has lots of hotities you like to watch, regardless of what they are doing? - tRuMaN Sep 14, 08:08 7
- After seeing that there are heterosexual men on ST who have never seen the Put A Ring On It vid, the answers to this poll do not surprise me :) -- nm - con_carne Sep 14, 08:23
- no -- nm - ceregon Sep 14, 08:18
- no... -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 14, 08:14
- No. -- nm - lileve Sep 14, 08:09
- Not any more. Likewise, I'm no longer likely to watch what looks like a bad movie just because some actress I think it hot has a topless/nude scene. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 14, 08:09 1
  - sure sure -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 14, 08:11

  - So did the citizens of New Orleans. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 14, 08:14 1
    - and the residents of Louisiana (who footed the bill for the National Guard). -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 08:17
- No -- nm - amoxy Sep 14, 08:08
- not too much. We've got a garden, river for water, and an electric generator. We'd be ok for a few weeks. - lileve Sep 14, 08:01
- I have some old granola bars and a gallon of water. I can burn my bedframe and the kitchen table for heat -- nm - Guigue Sep 14, 08:01
- considering we've been so poor lately, we never even have more than a day or two of food on hand lately. -- nm - zork Sep 14, 08:01 1
  - *hug* -- nm - lileve Sep 14, 08:01
- I have a shopping cart - CovingtonCat Sep 14, 08:00
- Not very, but after that spate of disaster mini-series a couple months ago I joked I should set up a meteor preparedness kit. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 14, 08:00
- A fashion disaster? Not very. - con_carne Sep 14, 07:59
- our work sends out a monthly preparedness calendar regarding Swine Flu (how much food and water you should have, flashlights, etc)... -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 07:58 2
  - Swine flu causes power outages? -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 07:59 1
    - does if the linemen can't do their job cause they are sick, or the power generator employees can either etc... -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 08:04
- not really, but I don't have much I can do. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 07:58
Danish government thinks one night stands makes for good tourism? -- (link) - oblique Sep 14, 07:56 4
- that's pretty funny actually. "Come to Denmark and enjoy our loose women!" -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 08:14 1
  - it's well know allready - Danedukenuuk Sep 14, 08:20
- you'r hard earned tax money again doing great things for your country - Danedukenuuk Sep 14, 08:11 1
  - oh and i just mailed the coorperate pess secretaty with the link...thanks - Danedukenuuk Sep 14, 08:19
yeah, i remember the good ol' days when MTV actually showed music videos ... the 'whole' music video ... - i'm not dead yet ! Sep 14, 07:51 1
- It's crap. I don't even watch it anymore. -- nm - lileve Sep 14, 07:57
FF: Welker or Lee Evans tonight? Anyone know Welker's status? still Q on yahoo... -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 07:46 2
- I need 27 points from Welker in one league and need 40 points from LT plus whatever Welker gets. So basically I need LT to get 67 - oblique Sep 14, 07:52 1
  - it IS the Raiders -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 07:53
TV PSA: Kanye is scheduled to be on Leno's first show tonight... -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 07:43 12
- "What the hell were you thinking?" - Jay Leno Sep 14, 07:48 9
  - Jay is probably -thrilled- this happened -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 07:49 8
    - DANCE NBC PROMO MONKEYS! DANCE!!!! -- nm - Jay Leno Sep 14, 07:50 4
      - I'm not sure they need to do anything. WOM is enough to get folks to tune in to see if Jay calls him on it. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 07:52 3
        
        if? -- nm - zork Sep 14, 07:55 2
        
        It's Leno. He'll be too fawning to say anything negative. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 14, 07:57
        
        check the BB's for his behavior at the VMA's...he's an asshole. -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 07:57
    - NBC should be as well... -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 07:50 2
      - cause the ratings start sliding after tonight IMO (he has to be "on" 5 nights a week against prime time competition, not happening) -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 07:52 1
        
        When I heard he was primetime my first thought was, "After his show fails, what do they do with him?" -- nm - MDH Sep 14, 07:55
- another reason not to watch. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 07:46 1
  - *ding* this is the right answer -- nm - JenBro Sep 14, 14:13
A really interesting look at what the 9/11 attacks may have looked like to us in a social media world. Really takes me back to when TT went down... -- (link) - oblique Sep 14, 07:30 17
- TT was (until it's remake last year) a "social networking site" especial tme misc board -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 14, 07:57 2
  - so were BBS's and Usenet. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 07:58 1
    - usenet was a slow thing BBS was way more "networking" - Danedukenuuk Sep 14, 08:22
- we had the "earliest versions" of social media in 2001? not hardly. We lost our phone service and TV in Brooklyn and totally relied on the internet. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 07:31 13
  - Also, considering that MJ's death crashed Twitter, I'm pretty sure it and FB and CNN, etc, would be overwhelmed within 30 minutes. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 07:32 12
    - The news websites figured it out after a while, by putting up minmal, emergency-version website. - ty97 Sep 14, 07:46 4
      - I'd forgotten about that. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 07:52
      - The FCC makes TV and radio be ready in case of emergency. No such requirement for internet. - con_carne Sep 14, 07:51
      - In fact, 9/11 is probably where they first figured that out. CNN crashed hard until they put up the minimal site. -- nm - Ender Sep 14, 07:49 1
        
        yep, I agree. I figure they have much better plans now. - ty97 Sep 14, 07:51
    - CNN.com was crushed on 9/11 in 2001. Someone on TT posted a cached copy of CNN.com because no one could get to it. -- nm - Inigo Sep 14, 07:35 3
      - i couldnt get any info online, i got all my info from tt (while it was up) and the *radio* -- nm - Andie Sep 14, 07:48 1
        
        I had a walkman with radio when the blackout hit. when I told the top VP about NY and other cities being down she closed the office -- nm - zork Sep 14, 07:55
      - Baltimore Sun was the only thing I could reach. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 07:35
    - it took at least an hour and a half to get CNN.com to load that morning -- nm - zork Sep 14, 07:34 2
      - I'm thinking that whatever network carries SMS would crash as well. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 07:36
      - I was working at Motorola at the time and they re-broadcast CNN onto the internal network like they did for speeches from the CEO - oblique Sep 14, 07:35
Solely on the basis of the boards this morning, MTV can't be too upset w/Kanye -- nm - prayformojo Sep 14, 07:29 1
- gleefully upset ... heheh -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 07:47
That video game on B2....seems like something that could be fun for online play. - Will Hunting Sep 14, 07:19 8
- i have burnout paradise, but no one ever seems to play it anymore. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 14, 07:53 3
  - That's because it's terrible. Burnout Revenge, now that was a fun game. -- nm - Subversive Sep 14, 07:56 2
    - maybe, but its fun to race against friends online. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 14, 08:00 1
      - I love the Burnout series, that game is by far my least favorite. - Will Hunting Sep 14, 08:02
- I was thinking that as well and was wondering if anyone else had it. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 14, 07:29 3
  - I will within 2 days or so. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 07:33 2
    - OK, me too now. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 14, 07:48
    - heh. -- nm - kelly Sep 14, 07:38
thanks for the pres help on board two. glad to see you're all well. sorry to those of you I pissed off; I'm leaving again now. and jim? nmj - amanda Sep 14, 07:18 2
- Ah....there it is! -- nm - Jim Sep 14, 07:23
- i just hope that i don't get implicated when your plan goes down -- nm - zork Sep 14, 07:20
Now I have never thought Anna Torv of Fringe was anything special looking but EW puts a nice spin on her for their Fall TV Preview cover. -- nm - HdnAgnda Sep 14, 07:16
TV PSA: One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, Leno, and Lincoln Heights on ABC Fam -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 07:15
MIT students take pictures from space for about $150. We totally should do this -- (link) - oblique Sep 14, 07:13 2
- i like that they hacked the camera with open source software to take continuous pictures. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 14, 07:16
- neat! Unfortunately, the GPS cell phone solution wouldn't work in my area. It would land outside of the coverage areas, almost guaranteed :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 07:16
My brother, for whatever reason, hates Beyonce. I responsed with "like her or hate her, she's this generation's Whitney Houston" - ty97 Sep 14, 07:13 4
- Hard to say. All three of these artists have reinvented themselves at least twice in their careers. -- nm - con_carne Sep 14, 07:42
- As far as hits and popularity go...she is this gen's Whitney. As far as talent goes, not even close. nm - Jim Sep 14, 07:25
- no comparisons like that are only superficial..each generation has a new "sound" -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 14, 07:20
- Beyonce is on avg more dance/pop than Whitney but she does the ballads too - MDH Sep 14, 07:18
VMA question, do they have awards for the directors/creative team of the videos, etc.? Or only for the performers? -- nm - znufrii Sep 14, 07:12 2
- it seems to be more about the record sales than anything, so not likely. As I mentioned ... - zork Sep 14, 07:15 1
  - That's pretty much what I thought, just wasn't sure. - znufrii Sep 14, 07:16
Now I have that horrid beyonce song stuck in my head. -- nm - znufrii Sep 14, 07:05 1
- This should help -- (link) - CovingtonCat Sep 14, 07:23 [youtube]
"Anytime someone sells you food in a sack, it's not a sack of food, it's a sack of shit." -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 07:04 1
- *shoots the food* -- nm - Elf Sep 14, 07:05
so it's a nice video, she's looks sexy and dances well, and the lighting is cool but it's still not anything to get worked up about - zork Sep 14, 07:01 21
- It totally doesn't matter how good her video was. He was out of line. -- nm - loosilu Sep 14, 07:37
- The further into the video I got the more it seemed like the Special Olympics of dancing. "Awww, isn't that nice, they think they can dance." -- nm - Ender Sep 14, 07:26
- Since you're certain....could you name some/find some? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 07:02 18
  - Taylor Swift's You Belong To Me -- nm - JaxSean Sep 14, 07:18 6
    - really? It's surpemely unoriginal. -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 07:23
    - I watched it after the Beyonce song....it doesn't do much for me. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 07:20 4
      - I don't know, but Beyonce's song annoys the f*ck out of me. - JaxSean Sep 14, 07:29 3
        
        Word. -- nm - znufrii Sep 14, 07:32 2
        
        Is there a pop song you *do* like? - kelly Sep 14, 07:37 1
        
        Madam Butterfly -- nm - znoofree Sep 14, 07:56
  - so you've never watched a team's not-spectacular play and didn't expect that at least some other teams were better? -- nm - zork Sep 14, 07:04 10
    - A lot of people *loved* this video. Tons of famous and not famous people enjoyed it so much they filmed themselves doing parodies of it. - Diva Sep 14, 07:08 3
      - it's nice but I would hope that the video of the year would have a little more substance or innovation. -- nm - zork Sep 14, 07:13 1
        
        I thought the lighting, direction and editing did. It's all subjective. -- nm - Diva Sep 14, 07:16
      - of course, people enjoy crappy things all the time. -- nm - znufrii Sep 14, 07:10
    - Yeah. Course, I'd also be able to go online and find a copy of Denver/Cincy or Boise State/Oklahoma. - Will Hunting Sep 14, 07:06 5
      - who says that an act has to be "MTV-worthy" to make a better video - zork Sep 14, 07:12 4
        
        Well, we're talking MTV's awards, so I'm imagining the country acts which get a lot of play on CMT and such for video work don't get MTV's attention. - Will Hunting Sep 14, 07:14 3
        
        sure but the examples I gave were in mtv rotation - zork Sep 14, 07:17 2
        
        Cool beans. I have no clue on videos nowadays so I don't know the source pool - Will Hunting Sep 14, 07:18 1
        
        you have no idea of how old that show made me feel - zork Sep 14, 07:18
Analogy Poll: It's the "Video" Music Awards like it's the...... -- nm - nubby Sep 14, 06:59 1
- it's like rain on your wedding day; a free ride when you've already paid; it's the - i'm not dead yet ! Sep 14, 07:49
Andie, here is his "apology" -- (link) - MDH Sep 14, 06:57
ML, I don't even want to talk about it. I'm so mad at myself. - TFox Sep 14, 06:56
Best post on B2. -- (link) - Will Hunting Sep 14, 06:55 [Backboard] 1
- I have to go with this one -- (link) - ty97 Sep 14, 06:56 [Backboard]
