I'm not going to speculate on the CD as a whole, but I think it's silly that people think Shackler's can just be pulled and replaced like that for Rock Band. It's in there. Rock Band is bigger than GNR, once a song is programed and completed with the intent of release, then announced to be on the game, it's on the game.

Doubting that is assuming that the band and Azoff have more power than they actually do. They can't stop it now. That ship sailed likely months ago.

Crash (2004): Employing an ensemble of hackneyed characters does not a good movie make (despite what the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would like you to believe). None of the characters have any depth and merely serve to propel the not-so-subtle, interconnected storylines forward. It's implausible, inane, and ultimately, wafer thin.

The Departed (2006): On behalf of the Academy, the directing and best picture Oscars must have been a sop to Martin Scorsese. Jack Nicholson pulls an Al Pacino - i.e., he yells or gets angry throughout the film. The characters use cell phones in a manner that borders on slapstick comedy. And Mark Wahlberg ends up wearing garbage bags over his sneakers. Gross...
