#18071 Re: The Sunset Strip » Say hello to more reality tv...aka the writers strike. » 931 weeks ago
This might be what kills off the reality genre. Total overkill. At least they admitted in this article that all reality is scripted.
I rarely watch TV as well. Although this is going to impact the film industry also. Last I heard about Friday the 13th remake is they were trying to rush a script, which obviously doesn't bode well for the quality of the film, but you can see why they are doing it. The film industry may get more devastated than the tv industry. Films get written and go into production long before release, so next summer and fall might see a ton of garbage make it into theatres.
The horror genre will definitely take a hit from this strike.

Glad to see New England beat Dallas, but man, is New England just on another level or what?!
They really remind me of those late 80's 49ers teams. For about 2 years, SF was unstoppable. Sure they lost a couple games, but they were untouchable. They scored at will.
If the Pats beat Indy, they're going undefeated. I haven't seen their schedule recently, but the only defense in the league that might give them trouble is Baltimore.
The pats are averaging 35-40 points a game. Every game. You cant beat a team that scores like that. Period.
They will probably have that division wrapped up by week 10 or 11. Then Belichick has a tough decision to make: Do you let this monster offense rest and reduce the risk of injury to zero, or do you let them continue their run so they dont lose any momentum?

Cloud Nine is an overlooked treasure. I haven't heard the whole album in ages(I should buy it again actually), but I have Fab on one of my tons of cd-rs, and I love it when that track comes on.
Remember Julian Lennon? He had a couple big hits in the early 80's. Maybe that was how Lennon would have sounded had he lived.
He sounded like John as well.

Wow. Thats an amazing compilation. One fault though: Should've had material from the Razor's Edge tour. While I was a moron and didn't go see it, its regarded by alot of fans as one of their best tours. Closest this comp gets to that is the Russia shows.
I wish this band could do one more killer album. Razor's Edge was their last kick ass album.

Yeah, would've been interesting to see his stance on Reagan and the Cold War. Probably would have vented against the greed and excess of the 80's as well.
But how would the music have sounded? He would have had to jump on a trend or two to be relevant. Bands that couldn't or wouldn't adapt to the 80's didn't survive.
I also agree that The Beatles would have reunited.

I thought this was bullshit but I guess its legit afterall. So he will be on 4 tracks this year, which is a third of an album, none of which are GNR songs.
Interesting way to test the waters.
#18079 Re: The Garden » Putin told of plot to kill him in Iran » 931 weeks ago
I know Putin isn't the most well loved leader in the world, but if he were murdered, it could lead to disastrous consequences. He is very influential on the world stage, and if something happened to him it would create a power vacuum. While it may not appear so since we are fighting two wars, he helps keep the US in check.

MOSCOW - Russian President Vladimir Putin has been told about a plot to assassinate him during a visit to Iran this week, a Kremlin spokeswoman said Sunday.
The spokeswoman, who spoke on customary condition of anonymity, refused further comment.
Interfax news agency, citing a source in Russia's special services, said suicide terrorists had been trained to carry out the assassination.
A spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry, Mohammad Ali Hosseini, denied any such plot had been uncovered, characterizing the news as disinformation spread by Iran's adversaries.
"These sort of reports are completely baseless and in direction with psychological operations of enemies of relations between Iran and Russia," Hosseini said in a statement.
Putin is to travel to Tehran on Monday night from Germany after meetings with Chancellor Angela Merkel.
During his visit to Iran, Putin is to meet with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and attend Tuesday's summit of Caspian Sea nations.
He will be the first Kremlin leader to travel to Iran since Josef Stalin attended a 1943 wartime summit with Britain's Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt.
Officials have reported uncovering at least two other plots to kill Putin on foreign trips since he became president in 2000.
Ukrainian security officials said they foiled an attempt to kill Putin during a summit in Yalta in August 2000. And in 2001, Russian security officials said a plot to assassinate Putin earlier that year in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, had been uncovered by the Azeri special services.
Russian officials linked both alleged plots to Chechen separatists. Putin had sent troops back into the southern Russian republic to crush resistance to Moscow's rule.
