We gummers are a jovial bunch, and though we hate many things, there is something whimsical about our disdain. The hate that many (not all) conservatives bring to the table is generally of a darker nature (Gay-Bashing is completely different from Bay-Bashing). So bullying these people away from the site doesn't seem too unreasonable to me. That said, I would hope a commentor with real thoughts and opinions, like recordingDR, isn't discouraged from commenting again in the future. But if pro_life_cutie drops off the face of the planet, I won't lose any sleep.
I agree, my girlfriend teaches 22 6 years olds, and if everyone is so shocked by this, their heads would explode if they witnessed the things that go on in that classroom (she's a very good teacher by the way). Not that Kate isn't a monster... this just doesn't prove it.
If the hunt was comprised of films like Havoc, Lost in Space, and Dreamcatchers all the time, it wouldn't be as good. The best reviews are for films that are really trying to be good but fail on some level. I already know why Bicentennial Man was a terrible movie and I didn't even have to see it, why do I need Gabe to tell me? It's your Reign Over Mes, Crashes, A.I.s, I Am Sams and to a lesser extent your Butterfly Effects that make this hunt worth while. And while it's fun to see Gabe knock the Baby Genius elites off their pedestals, I'd much rather he take on a challenge.
I really think we should test this theory by nominating Chinatown. If Gabe can successfully rip it apart, the hunt will be over because we'll know that all movies are the worst. I'm not kidding.
I'm not necessarily nominating this, but has anyone seen the new Liam Neeson movie Taken? I saw it over the weekend and there is an absolutely hilarious scene where he (the protagonist) shoots an innocent and very polite woman in the arm to get answers from her husband. When it happened, the whole room burst out laughing and I immediately thought of the Hunt.
Congratulations, Brad, on the enduring success of Keyboard Cat. 2 Questions which you may have already answered a thousand times: Question the first - Do you have an actual relationship with Keyboard Cat (was this filmed by you or someone you know, or is it found footage)? You don't have to answer that one if you think it will ruin the mystique. 2. Have you found any way to capitalize off of this? Dare I suggest a Keyboard Cat thermos/lunchbox?
I went to a wedding recently and the bride and father danced to a country song called "I Loved Her First". Some lyrics:
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way
But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first
This is a little bit creepy, right? I mean, I know its an ode to a father's love and all, but still, a little creepy?
Let me preface this by saying that I love Animal Collective and MPP, but some bands are just not live bands. AC's notorious for being a bit alienating live, perhaps even more so when they were playing more 'traditional' intruments. I honestly kind of like seeing them restrained by this more sample based material (kind of reminds me of the electronica shows I went to in the late 90s, sans the pacifier-sucking raver kids). That said, their live performances are always interesting, but not necessarily good. But who cares when they're coming out with a great album every year and a half.
My recommendation, wait for Fun Fun Fun Fest. The last two years have offered a variety of great bands at a fraction of the cost. Plus, no crowds and no parking and transportation issues.
I agree. Also, as a public service to like-minded Simpsons fans:

"Eye On Springfield is a retrospective of Simpsons hilarity spanning from seasons 1 to 9, when it was still funny."
Seriously, talk about bigotgum. I do find it comical, however, when people fill their hate comments with symbols because they don't realize the site is uncensored. Can we lobby for some sort of comment removal system, but something degrading, like the blog equivalent of walking the plank? This site is supposed to be my sanctuary from shitty people.
Seriously, I was watching an old UCB epsiode last night (the hospital one with the grim reapers "If your shift starts at 4, you should be here at 4"). She's not being used to her full potential.
I think this is probably beneath Gabe. Plus you can google the kid's previous name and find a bunch of stuff. Maybe Gabe killed him while on vacation and is now having to keep up the ruse?
I accidentally clicked the down arrow (sorry). But yeah, this movie is terrible. I saw it when I was eleven at a friend's house, and even then I knew it was a contender for WMOAT.
