DVDs I Won't Be Buying

Should children be protected legally from being targeted by advertising?

That would be nice. Impossible, but nice.

Good links, thanks!

Favorite Win32 Freeware & Shareware

My new favorite utility is AutoHotKey, which I think you might like too. I've written several scripts for it I posted on my weblog, if you're interested:

Funny, I looked for "Loaf" on the list as well. :-)

Award Winning Music Professor Glen Gass Beatles Course & How Piero Scaruffi is Totally Wrong About The Beatles!

I think the fact that Cosgrove, a long-term member of this site, suspects you might be a troll demonstrates that something is off with the tone you're striking. In fact, there are several long-term, polite, well-respected members here you seem have put off quite thoroughly. These are members I've known for years to be quite tolerant of dissenting opinion. If, in light of that, you still don't see that your delivery is crippling your cause, I can't help you.

Well, I don't really know you, but I believe you are in earnest. I just think if your intent is to win converts to your aside, you need to work on your presentation. Your vehemence and tone are more likely to push people away, as I think you are discovering here.

It might also help to realize, with regards to music criticism (and many other things) there are no objective truths. Or, if there are, we puny humans aren't privy to them.

Films I Watched - January, 2007

Wow, I'm very happy to hear Curse of the Golden Flower is so good! I have to admit, after the disappointment of House of Flying Daggers (and I know I was more disappointed than you were) I had pretty serious misgivings about Zhang going back to this particular well a third time. My hope is restored!

Best Rock Albums Ever (according to me)

I'm not a big fan of zealotry in any of its guises, Christian, Islamist, or, uhhh, Beatlemanian. Time to back off, everybody.

Yeah, I should have given that link a post of its own instead of burying it with the other two. It's hilarious.

My All-Time Top 100 Best Television Shows

Very nice list. Did you consider Northern Exposure or Homicide (based on your list, I'm thinking you'll really like the latter)?

Top 10 Fight Scenes

I originally sought out and linked to the Jet Li/Yasuaki Kurata fight from Fist of Legend because I had recalled it as my favorite. But then I watched the climactic fight you linked to and thought, "damn, that's better.". So I went to revise my list, and realized that I had already realized that. Thank you for reminding me of what I used to already know.

Top 10 Fight Scenes

Nice ones!

If nothing else, they should be dreadfully ashamed for including Van Damme but not Jet Li.

Cool, I have that in my queue somewhere, but my pace has been pretty sluggish lately.
