My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

I saw the first premiere of Dracula.  I'd say it could be interesting.  It's well acted for now, decent script&plot, but let's see where it goes before passing final judgement.  So far, the motivations of Dracula are clear: revenge.  His wife was burnt for heresy by a secret order who still exists today.  Aside that, some other group involved in tracking & covering up vampires and other supernatural elements.  I have good hopes for this show :)

Oh, it's on NBC, wich makes it their 3rd good show in less than a year... What's happening, new management? :)

I woke up one night after a bout of heavy drinking in a room I'd never seen before and the TV was on, playing Tommy, which I had at the time never even heard of.  All in all, a terrifying but enjoyable ordeal.

Bits of it, I've never really given it a thorough listening to :blush:.

My wife and I were watching Beauty and the Beast (TV 1987) when she started bitching about an ADA (who is the daughter of a Manhattan corporate lawyer) being able to attend an art show, and wearing makeup, and how many female CEOs of Fortune 500 companies wear makeup, and apparently, it's 2. I remarked, "Why the fuck should I care?" thinking that in 1987, EXACTLY ONE WOMAN WAS THE CEO OF A FORTUNE 500 COMPANY, and Katharine Graham DAMN SURE WORE FUCKING MAKEUP.

No.  Just listen to Pinball Wizard and skip the rest.

Cloud Atlas. Beautiful movie.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Cloud Atlas.  A three hour circle jerk.
