You all needed this. You just didn't know it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JkbxMjhxSw

I lost my virginity to You Shook Me All Night Long. It came on the radio. It turned what was supposed to be an awkward, embarrassing experience into a REALLY FUNNY awkward, embarassing experience. My cousin's story is worse/better, she was in her bf's dad's car and The Violent Femmes, "Give Me the Car Tonight" came on.

See, to me Journey does blow overall, but I like that song. And if its lame and "hipster" to like it, then, I guess thats why I put it in this thread lol Also, I cannot believe the Meatloaf post has been ignored. I thought for sure that was way beyond the pale

Tim is the one who fucks up this computer, not me. He insists that *streaming* porn doean't give the computer e-herpes. IDK that I believe that.

Right? I think that HBO began by letting the original series be. They let them be awesome for a couple years, and then it came back down to "the bottom line." They got a reputation for allowing good art--and then they started fucking around for more profit. I think that they realized that after Sex and the City ended, they didn't have a show "targeted at women." So they changed the direction True Blood was going in to suit a target audience. BIG. LAME. MISTAKE. I don't know if anyone else here watches Treme, but its first season was gangbusters. The second season---eh. I expected more from the creators of The Wire, and especially what I saw in the first season. Even the changes made to Game of Thrones from the books were all CLEARLY executive based. Meaning the assholes who sit in a room and try to calculate who will watch what based on bullshit stats and what will make the most money. Sorry for the rant, but I have been noticing a trend with the new seasons of HBO shows. I've read all of the books that True Blood is based on, and for the first few seasons I thought the changes they made for the show were really good, and just fine, even for fans of the books. This season is...different, and I think its all based on the execs scrambling and interfering where they should not.

You know how I despise Dave Matthews. Well, this is the bad music thread, so I guess you brought him to the right place.

WHATEVER NICK! I LOVE THAT SONG! JOURNEYYYYY RAWWWWWWRRRRR! JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL, LIVIN IN A LONELY WOOORLD! SHE TOOK THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN GOIN ANNNYYYYWHHHERRRE! JUST A CITY BOY! BORN AND RAISED IN SOUTH DETROIT!!!!! I SEEN HER IN A SMOKEY ROOM! SMELL OF WINE AND CHEAP PERFUME!!!

Well. I would like to see that cat. I happen to love cats. And that one song by Journey.

Lol--the lead guitarist for Cake, Xan McGurdy was my upstairs neighbor in Portland. Nice guy, used to help me scare the racoon away who wanted to fight my cat and would drink wine with me and Tim now and then. Funny, the apartments were nice and clean, but tiny and nothing special. Used to think rockstars were all rich and shit. His ex-girlfriend gave me a really nice bike once. I sold it to help pay our rent.

nothing I do ever pleases you dammit I am a little pretentious musically. In my defense, my dad is a musician, so I was kind of raised to be a snob. I do love that song though. Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvpiuKngFdk&feature=fvst This one is pretty damning. Condemn away. Sorry Dad. I really like it

I can't believe no one has posted this yet...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfUYuIVbFg0 I mean, I seriously rock out to this EVERY time it comes on, no matter where I am. I don't like it ironically. I LOVE this song.

Rasputina cover rocks it.

That's sad, but mostly disturbing. THIS is really sad too.

Caroline Pleasant as mother Abigail. She played Bodie's grandmother on The Wire. Also, maybe Clarke Peters as Judge Farris? What about Larry? Any ideas? It would be pretty hilarious if they cast Timberlake as a "one-hit wonder" but I'm skeptical of his ability to really do the role justice. What about Deborah Ann Woll (Jessica on True Blood) as Frannie? She's about the right age, Frannie is 21 in the book, and she is beautiful, but with a more believeable "girl next door" things than say a Jessica Alba type.

Perfect! He is so great at playing creepy and awkward! That's my vote for Harold Lauder!

Jonah Hill as Harold? Although, Idk how they would "handsome him up" when he goes through his evil influenced transformation. He was perfectly creepy in Cyrus though. You almost have to start with a thin actor and put him in a fat suit or something.

Right? Or Kareem Abdul-Jabar as "the End is Coming" guy. But the dude from Coach as Tom? PERFECT. Just because I'm trying to think of ideas I am drawing a total blank. The only actor I can think of right now is Ryan Reynolds, and I hate him.

Lol, not yet! That's why I was asking you!

Grr. One of the original series networks should have bought it. Laura San Giacomo? Yeah, she was hot, but nothing like the character in the book, and not so great with the acting. Sinise and Lowe were great, and actually so was Adam Stork (I know, who?) but I just can't picture anyone trying to destroy the hope of humanity for Molly Ringwald. Even an alienated, teenage Corin Nemec. Any casting ideas for the remake?

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME! Maybe HBO or something will buy it...

That would rock. I'd love to see The Stand WITH cursing and fucking and WITHOUT Molly Ringwald. Although, Ruby Dee was a pretty awesome Mother Abigail. Wait, Haku, DT is being optioned? OMG! Casting it in my mind...

"fan service possibly not meant for our gender" ROTFL! Awesome Nick, and correct.
