I think playing a sequel without any major reocurring characters would just make me more nostalgic for the original than anything else. I'll still probably play it though.

Even though the character is a shell of its former self, Homer Simpson. I don't think any one character has had so many consistently funny and geuinely sentimental moments (at least for a time). I'm sure there are other characters that could be well argued as being better, but Homer always hits the right note for me. Currently though, I am really enjoying Locke (Lost). The development of his character and how his past experiences have dictated his current actions making him incredibely compelling.

Delicatessen- **** I'm a sucker for a good, weird French film and there's something about cannibalism that is intriguing in a creepy sort of way. The visuals were great and the characters were bizarre. This certainly isn't something everyone would love.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Love the Bomb- ***** This probably doesn't need much of an explanation, but the film is brilliant.

No. Absolutely not. Storm of the Century was four and a half hours of dull, unmitigated garbage. I was so hyped to watch it before it aired, and it ended as the biggest crapfest I could have possibly imagined. My friends and I still refer to Storm of the Century as "five hours of my life I'll never get back".

H20 is pretty decent if you're into that kind of thing. Hope you have a good time. Rancid puts on a pretty good show. Do you know if they will be mixing up the songs a bit or pretty much playing the same set every night?

1. Any of you going to get Season 8 on DVD? -Yeah, but probably not until Christmas. Assuming they release 9 for the holidays, I'll get that one as well. I did that with 6 and 7 last Christmas and it was kind of nice being able to watch two seasons in a row like that since the gaps in between new release are about 6-8 months. But if I had the cash, I'd probably get it now. 2. Did the Season 3 DVDs come with an episode booklet? Mine didn't. -Mine did. 3. What would you all consider to be the last great episode of the Simpsons? -The last? I don't know. Around season 9 or 10 I stopped watching regularly. However, I think one of the biggest problems with the Simpsons lately is that the characters don't seem as rich and real as they once did. The last episode I remember watching where the characters felt real to me was Alone Again, Natura-Diddily, way back in the 11th season when Maude dies. But take that with a grain of salt, because I haven't watched every episode. 4. What would you consider to be the best episode ever of the Simpsons? -I don't have one episode that I think is the best, but I especially enjoy Homer Loves Flanders, Bart of Darkness, Lisa's Wedding (I really enjoy all of the future episodes), Lemon of Troy, Bart Sells His Soul, Two Bad neighbors, Bart's Comet, Marge vs. the Monorail, and Homer's Enemy.

The Big Lebowski, since it gets better every time.

I'm really happy to see Ben Folds on the list, as I forgot to vote for him. Hendrix is good too and so is STP (I think I voted for them). I slightly happy to see U2 there, as I'm not a huge fan, but I think they are good nonetheless. 3 Doors Down being in the Top 100 is a shame though. Beause I said so. And I'm in college, so I know what I'm talking about.

Creed's in the 70s and the Ramones aren't even on the list? You guys are so weird.

They Live!- ***1/4 Reminds me of A History of Violence in that it's well written, well directed, and well acted, but very low key at the same time. More than anything, this movie is smart in a sci-fi Orwellian manner and isn't afraid to be cheesy in an appropriate way. And of course, the best fight scene in cinematic history and certainly Piper's most epic match ever.

I'm really happy to see Sinatra, although 89 is a bit disappointing. Everything else is in the "eh" catergory for me personally though.

Unless someone else already mentioned it, The Shining is essential King reading. Although I think I like The Stand and IT best, The Shining is quite possibly King at his best.

I was playing some 64 games a few months ago and it felt awkward to me. I think I got so used to the Game Cube and PS2 controllers that the 64 felt a bit too big. It always had an overall good feel to it though, so I probably would have gotten used to it jus tlike I did the X-Box controller. IMO, the best controller out right now is either the Game Cube's or the 360's. But that's pretty subjective.

Here's the back:

Just to elaborate on what Matzat said, you'll hear/read the C buttons referred to as C-Up, C-Down, C-Left, and C-Right. EDIT: Also, they have arrows on the buttons and there's a C on the gray area in the middle of the buttons. It's a bit hard to see on the picture, so I don't know if you caught it. I'm not even sure if it was necessary to be that precise, but there you go.

The Stand is probably the best thing King ever wrote, so that's a safe bet.

Memento (second viewing)- *** Definitely not as good the second time around, but that's to be expected. It seems like the type of movie that is awesome when you don't know what's going on. Still, wonderfully directed and paced.

They've never been on the list. It's criminal.

No Ramones? I didn't vote for them, but I'm really surprised they aren't on the list.
