Late love for Becker. I had a friend in high school who LOVED it and I never got around to watching it cause I worked when it usually aired, but I've caught reruns lately during the morning and it's pretty fucking good.

And Dinosaurs. We need Dinosaurs back because there hasn't been anything like it since and probably nothing will be like it ever again.

Double post, but Soul Eater 47 is pleasantly early. So...

Soul Eater 47

Or, Soul Eater 47:

Spoiler: Click here to view

YOU'RE DRILL IS A DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!

I want to see this show so DAMN bad, but I'm poor. Mostly for the Alice in Chains return but there's so many others worth seeing too.

I found a new series today called Michiko to Hatchin, and it's actually pretty good so far (Well, the first episode) It seems to take place in South America, and it's looking to get pretty dark before it's over. It's still in it's first season ( I think like, only 15 is translated so far ) so it wont take too long to catch up. So, check it out.

It sounds like what you're talking about songwise, but the video doesn't match.

Soul Eater 46:

I actually didn't see 45-46 yet, but I'm planning on it today. I just meant that I was discouraged since I usually hear nothing but awesomeness about the show, and hearing that made me wonder. I'm guessing some people gonna die though in the next two episodes.

Shit, Soul Eater is over for good in April!

I've JUST been able to find a site that has Soul Eater again. Now I don't want to watch....

So.....Anyone read this Pet Shop of Horrors? I thought it'd be a little juvenile when I saw the cover, but there's some good stuff so far. I guess what I found was a sequel manga that is only on it's third book officially in America.

Soul Eater got a little slow around 11-15, but it picks up right after so it's not a huge problem.

I see them totally killing Excalibur, like giving him some sort of goofy voice or changing most of his dialogue altogether.

Guess it's a little bit old news, but

Knew I was forgetting to watch something....I'm like 3 behind now.

Dammit AMPAS!

The last few years now AMPAS has been able to have wide spread nominees, and choosing what they really felt was the best film of the year. Not what the studios told them to vote for, but what they really thought to be THE BEST OF THE YEAR!

Now this year, Supporting Actor excluded, it's all Drama. I mean, look what we lost this year:

Sally Hawkins

The Dark Knight ( Or at least Christopher Nolan FINALLY getting nominated )

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!

But Slumdog gets TWO best song nominations! I loved the film, but TWO songs while snubbing The Wrestler just doesn't go well at all.

They were getting close to actually awarding everything instead of a small group, but it's a step back this year.

Still, this will probably go down as a "Bad" year, or at least one of the weakest of the decade. There's some great films, but nothing that really screams "BEST PICTURE" to me. And there's a difference between a film that takes all the fun out of predicting by bandwagon effect and a truly AMAZING film that wins most awards.

Best Actor

Richard Jenkins for The Visitor (2007/I)

"Didn't see it yet but it's the dad from Step Brothers, and we was kinda awesome in it, so cool"

Frank Langella for Frost/Nixon (2008)

"The bad guy from that Whoopi Goldberg movie where she coaches the Knicks! He was the best part of that movie ( And of Frost/Nixon )"

Sean Penn for Milk (2008)

"Dude! He might win again, but I don't see it. Good job though."

Brad Pitt for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

"Ya know, any other year I wouldn't mind Brad Pitt finally winning the big one, but here it just would feel wrong"

Mickey Rourke for The Wrestler (2008)

"Thank god! He needs to win!"

Best Actress

Anne Hathaway for Rachel Getting Married (2008)

"Expected and greatly appreciated. She should have a chance to make a better speech!"

Angelina Jolie for Changeling (2008)

"Oh, I get it, nominate screaming and crying like the old days instead of Sally Hawkins; AND get Hollywoods power couple nominated! Genius!"

Melissa Leo for Frozen River (2008)

"No shit! That's cool"

Meryl Streep for Doubt (2008/I)

"It's Meryl, so she's getting nom'd, but I can't see her winning for this"

Kate Winslet for The Reader (2008)

"Anne's biggest threat. I'm going for either of them"

Best Supporting Actor

Josh Brolin for Milk (2008)

"He had it on lockdown for a month or so now, but that's not a bad thing"

Robert Downey Jr. for Tropic Thunder (2008)

"THANK YOU! Looks to be another year of actually acknowledging ALL films and not all dramas!"

Philip Seymour Hoffman for Doubt (2008/I)

"Meh, he works I guess."

Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight (2008)

"If not, there would be riots in the streets of LA"

Michael Shannon for Revolutionary Road (2008)

"He looks like Richard Kiel"

Best Director ( And here comes a much deserved nom for Nolan! Give it to me Forrest! )

Danny Boyle for Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

"Awesome. Loved that movie!"

Stephen Daldry for The Reader (2008)

"Well, there's the "Lone Director" spot, and it's not Nolan's! TDK is in!"

David Fincher for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

"I REALLY wish he wasn't winning for THIS films"

Ron Howard for Frost/Nixon (2008)

"Good on you Opie. Now, where' Nolan?"

Gus Van Sant for Milk (2008)

"Oh FUUUUUUUUDGE!" ( Only I didn't say fudge )

Best Picture

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

"Ok, not a surprise, luckily 'D' is after 'C'"

Frost/Nixon

"That's a little surpris...... DARK KNIGHT IS BEFORE F! AND THESE ARE ALPHABETICAL! DAMMIT!"

Milk

"Who cares.......Still not a bad movie at all"

The Reader

"YOU STOLE DARK KNIGHTS NOM YOU GENERIC HOLOCAUST/PEDOPHILE FILM!"

Slumdog Millionaire

"Good, win and take the glory away from Benjamin Gump!"

*sigh*

I remember months and months ago, someone mentioned they were surprised that no one did a song called "Your Place or MySpace".

So, I wrote one....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ur Place or MySpace?

Hey I saw you at the concert

You were dancing right along

And you were even singing

Because it was your favorite song

I was wary to approach you

You were in love with the dance

So finally I walked up

Then I saw you in your trance

I really wanted to say "Hi"

But I figured you'd just say "Bye"

I needed a perfect line

Just to see if you'd be mine

( so then I went and said )

*Ur place or MySpace

I can't stop glancing at your face

My mind says maybe I should go

But I just can't

I'm not one of those guys

Who's gonna make you cry

I'm hoping for a number

Or at least your Myspace

Hard to get is so passe ( bleh )

So I found a better way

I just want to know you

*And your MySpace

I was walking 'round the store

Suddenly there was a girl

My mind went seven ways

She took it for a whirl

How can I get close to her

And have her stay where she's at?

The store will be closing soon

But she hasn't seen me yet

There's gotta be something I don't see

To get her talking to me

I needed a line

To make it all fine

( Suddenly I blurted out )

*

You're sitting in the class room

And guess who just walked in?

It's the girl of your dreams

You don't know where to begin

You know straight away

That what you're thinking is right

She needs to know how you feel

And have you both stay at night

Rejections been your trusty friend

But it's time to let those feelings end

One more time

Just use the line

( Just say it already )

*

( Chorus repeats and fades out )

Give it time. Once nominations are out it'll grow.

Or do you mean the race itself? Admittedly it's been a slow year for these movies. Last year I had three anticipated films come out ON THE SAME DAY during December and this year I'm not going nuts on anything other than The Wrestler, which wont be around most people till Jan 6th.

It looks like an alright action flick, but its got its problems.

Soul Eater 37

Anyway, finished 20th Century boys and the sequel. This needs to be read by pretty much everyone! It was a satisfying experience.

And months ago someone mentioned Bartender. I just found it and love that now as well.

Norro, I just discovered Wallflower from a random girl at the book store who told me to read it. She was just happy to see someone else in the manga section for once. I thought it was a little odd at the start, but if the anime is that good, guess I'll give it a second chance.

Meanwhile, I'm probably the last person to discover it, but I'm addicted to 20th Century Boys. If anyone hasn't read it, it's near 300 chapters (that and the short spinoff) and it's the most I've been into anime of any kind in a LONG time. So....read it.

I recently found Shura No Toki, which doesn't have the most memorable characters, but I love the fight scenes. And Peacemaker, which seems promising.

Anyway, Soul Eater 36:

Btw, in a barely related note, Gaslight Anthem is gonna be on Conan tonight, in case anyone in this thread are fans.

(Really saw no where else to post that)

So, saw it. Yeah.

If you ignore the crap script, and watch for the violence, you'll love it. Some may not like how the blood got turned up a few notches, but I personally enjoyed the creativity of the deaths, for the most part.

I loved it for the mindless violence alone.

Well, I read through this (surprised at the response to my post) and tried out a few more songs.

Ok, they're not a "One-Song-Wonder" (although anyone else I've showed Charmer to laughed and though it was a supposed to be a joke) I found a few others songs to be alright, but nothing to make me want to go out and grab their albums. It's not horrible, but I can't see my self getting to much into them.
