Thank you so much for giving Listology the attention and overhaul it has needed for too long now. I can't tell you how happy and grateful I am that the site will live on. This is a bittersweet moment for me. Building and running Listology was a very rewarding experience, and I'm grateful for all the friends I've made here over the years, but I'm sad to give up the reins. That said, your fresh ideas and enthusiasm are just what the place needed, and I'm happy you've taken over. I hope the site treats you as well as it treated me!
(This is not goodbye. Totally psyched about the per-user RSS feeds, which I hope will get me participating more.)
Congrats, and thanks again for all your hard work! I know how much effort it took to make this happen.
Good call, although I actually have seen that one, not sure how I missed putting it on the list!
Unfortunately, I tend to admire Charlie Kaufman movies but not enjoy them as much as I should. I'm pretty sure they'd all grow on me given repeat viewings; I'll have to give that a shot one of these days.
Fixed now. Damn, sorry everybody!
Oh crap, there's a bug that's stripping out the spoiler tags! I had them too. I'll fix that shortly.
The pool scene really is amazing, and worth the price of admission alone.
And yeah, I agree, although I also read from some folks that read the book that those relationships are different. That doesn't really bear on the movie itself, which is a separate work, except that I do think the movie leaves it tantalizingly open to debate. Certainly I don't see Okcar in a servant role, at least not initially. He's too young to be of much help, for one thing.
Finally, I can't decide how I feel about the fact that Eli is not, and never was, a girl. Mainly I can't decide if that information is at all relevant to the story or the relationship, and if so, how. Or if it was just a gratuitous twist. Again, I hear the book goes a bit deeper into that, but that's not really relevant here.
Nice, glad you liked it! I thought it was terrific as well.
This is the trailer Gaimen liked (according to his blog). I think it better conveys the feel of the movie.
No worries, the kidding came through loud and clear. :-)
I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy it, it's just that my wife and I probably make it through a season of TV only every month or two (via Netflix) and at that pace we have years of watching ahead of us on the shows we've found we like better, so Monk just didn't make the cut.
TV's tough though, because lots of shows don't hit their stride until after the initial season. The ones we end up sticking with do a good enough job of setting the hooks early.
:-)
I'm going to stick to my guns on this one, especially when measured against everything I have in "glad I saw" and above.
I only watched the first season, and Tony Shaloub was excellent (as usual), but by the end I felt I I knew the formula, and the writing wasn't strong enough to keep me around (unlike House, for example, which is similarly formulaic, but is better written).
But you're right, out with the old, in with the new, I say!
All sounds great to me, thanks for all the work you've put into this, I can't wait to see the finished product!
"I Feel So Used" was a casualty of the move, I'm afraid. My new host doesn't have ColdFusion installed (the programming language IFSU and Listology are written in), so I'd have to rewrite it from scratch. Shoot me an e-mail off list if you want me to send you an extract of your IFSU data.
Very cool, thanks guys. rhayader18, I've taken you out from under moderation based on the quality of your olive branch. :-)
I approved this because it appeared like it might be a content discussion rather than a personal attack, albeit snarky (the use of "you people" is always a bad sign). I see from other comments awaiting moderation that this is just going to go downhill so I killed 'em. Take it somewhere else if you're going to look down your nose.
Excellent, love that band, they shoulda been bigger. MTV has the video up too. You know (I'm sure you must) that they somewhat recently put the bulk of their music video library online, right? Walken! Criminal that I'd somehow not seen that until now.
Wow, nicely edited! Thanks for passing that along, and sorry about the delay in responding. I've been under a big backlog for awhile.
