The problem here with GNR version 3 (or 4 or 5) is that all bands are measured by the amount of musical output they release.  Does anyone think that Axl will release anything new in the next 2 or 3 years?  By new, I mean material written by the guys currently in the band and not retreads/retooling of the Bucket era cd stuff.  Axl is close to fifty and I just don't see him having the drive to get out an album relatively soon.  He has a very small window to do this or just reunite with the original band.

If you go by the current reports that Axl's energy has waned and the shows are on autopilot, I wouldn't be surprised if after the current tour ends GNR goes back into a dark/inactive period again.

the entire "I don't know if soon is the word" comment.  That one is pretty funny since he said it in fall 2002 and the album came out around six years later.

Buckethead's fascination with wolf dog poop and jacking off to porn and Axl's (or the band members) concern for the sanitary conditon of the studio.

The rambling statement Axl used to describe "Oh My God" in 1999.  Can someone translate what the hell he said there?

Since I Don't Have You--the video is cheesy and Duff is clearly out of it.

Blaming MLB for the website lack of coherency or information being posted is another one I just thought about.

Those are just off the top of my head.

Having sat through this one in the theater, I will agree with you on the most part.  There is far too much talk in this one even for a Tarentino film.  I liked the middle section of the film involving Shossana only because there was an actual attempt at character development.  The Diane Kruger character was pretty laughable imo.  This is an over the top film but for me it was just so painfully slow and the runtime at like 140 minutes or so makes it even more so.

Another problem here is that he just tries to cram too much shit into the film.  We've got the Waltz character, the Shosana storyline, Bridget Hammersmark, and the entire bastards plus some cameos too.  There is barely any background info on the Inglorious Basterds.  We get scant information and nothing else.

I get the feeling that Tarentino blew his wad on his first two films.  After that he's pretty much relied on known actors and excessive violence plus marginally "cool" dialogue + mannerisms to cover for the weak stories.  He is similiar to DePalma in that both guys pay obvious "homages" to other better sources.

The Kill Bill films drew a big infleunce from Thriller (a 1974 Swedish film) and Tokyo Drifter (60s Japanese film).

I like his enthusiasm for underlooked films that are mostly foreign.  He gave a really funny intro on a Battle Royale promo.  But outside of that I have very little interest in watching any of his newer output.  I say this as a fan of his films (the first two primarily).  FWIW, Kill Bill 3 has been greenlit and should be released in 2014.

The problem MLB will have in implementing expanded replay is determining how far to tweak the system.  Home Run Calls are around in the system, and I assume close plays at first, second, third, and home plate are probably in store after the Galarraga missed call.  Now do you expand this some more to close plays down the line (fair or foul ball) or not?

I really think that the umpires should have huddled up and discussed the controversial play (they do this sometimes with home runs).  I don't expect them to do anything regarding the strike zone that would be taking replay too far.

Even with the recent bad press, MLB still doesn't have the worse refs in the major sports, that distinction still goes to the NBA.
