Forum: Whatever Else... and Music

Post things that legitimately make you cry. This obviously hit me much harder now that I know my 17-month old will be learning this lesson someday. I cried so much at this, I almost made cry-face.

I didn't see a help thread for help for podcasters and since there are so many of us on here, I thought I'd pick your various brains for the solution to my question: So I'm finally ready to launch my new sans-KUCI website. I'm looking for 250-500mb of storage per month (easily expandable if...

CAUTION: There be spoilers. All 5 books in here. So I have had a lot of free time this summer, and as a result I read all 5 books in the series. It's a pretty fantastic read, and I am absolutely a huge fan. But this is the internet, so I want to talk about tiny quibbles and theories! First...

A comedy forum is the wrong place to promote non-narrative/documentary/art films - but fuck it, this community is great and supportive... plus, if Berliner can talk about fucking Capoeira... So I was always a movie-mad kid that made my dad drive me to the nearby big city to see movies and...

I have a college assignment to have ten people write a paragraph on what it is like to be different in middle school or high school, then reflect on what each person wrote. Problem is I don't really know ten people well enough to consider asking them, because I have awful social anxiety. I was...

I'm concerned with having all of this public. I think it's not good for what I'm trying to do. I'm going to delete my posts. Thanks for all the kind words.

Thought I'd bring this thread back up. So ... Obama likes FISA, huh? Retort, hipsters!

have you seen this?

As my mother was just leaving the house for work, she tells me, "Get this: not only will there not be a Christmas party at a restaurant this year like there usually is, but yesterday we got an email that said, 'Bring your own food.'"

Why isn't anyone talking about all the new shows? I liked this one pretty well - I'm really interested in the process of how someone gets turned like that.

I need somewhere other than my facebook page to complain about this cold I have. This is very necessary. Please feel free to post your whiny sickness-related gripes here... Is it possible to feel sneezes in your eyes? Because I've been sneezing all morning (I've started counting... I'll give a...

I hope it's ok that this is a separate thread that I'm starting, but I don't want to clutter pages that are for remembering Andrew Koenig with anything not wholly related to him and his life. His passing prompted me to write this, but it's something that will apply to plenty of people. The...

There, it's done.

What are you listening to, not what are your opinions about what other people are listening to. Help people find something new to listen to. I am listening to the Hold Steady's "Stay Positive" and the Submarines' "Honeysuckle Weeks."

I could not find a thread for this, and I feel it could be the textual equivalent to the "Overheard in Passing" thread. I felt this was necessary the other day when I saw an AK 47 license plate that was spelled out "EH K 47", like it's Canadian or something. So, please, AST, post the...

via Beewcar. (I totally stole the link from his Facebook page.) Trailer: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eP0QJ_Ba1Bs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I'm excited.

We are back! Yes, after a extended hiatus This My Show returns with a brand new episode and what better way to start the year by having Aziz Ansari (Human Giant, Parks & Recreation) on the show to discuss his career, his hopes, his wishes, and dreams. Or Listen On iTunes...

Uhh Yeah Dude is a podcast that started in February of 2006. I posted about it in the 'good comedy podcasts' thread on the old board. It's fantastic. Ricky Gervais has shown interest by calling their voicemail (888-842-2357) and Matthew Robinson, the codirector of This Side Of The Truth, filmed...

I'll start:

Season 2 starts tonight and I'm excited. I hear they fast-forwarded the plot into two years into the future. I seem to remember that some other ASTers liked this too, so I thought I'd start a thread. Also, I have a girl crush on Christina Hendricks:

Hey AST. I'm a bedroom dj, have been for years, and I make mixes of my favorite tunes that I think work well in sequence. I do these mostly for myself but why not share em? Maybe someone out there likes them as much as I do :) I'm planning on getting a lot of my old mixes hosted somewhere...

Haha! Just kidding, AST! Stupid thread idea. Go fuck yourself Krudler.

Did anyone watch? The new killers' M.O. seems a little hokey but whatever, the show is hokey anyways. I'm interested to see how Colin Hanks handles the role beyond the the few robotic scenes they gave him in the first episode.

We're coming very close to Sasquatch hitting 10,000 posts. How will we celebrate this milestone as a community?

Anyone else watch this? It's on Netflix Streaming, only four episodes. It's BRUTAL. I'm still a little excited about it, but I have to put it in the list of the All-Time great dramas. If it were more than four eps it would be easier to rank it against my other favorites. Tom Hardy is my...

Anyone here suffer from insomnia? It started two weeks ago and I haven't been able to sleep more than an hour at a time most nights. I've tried Benadryl and melatonin but nothing really works and I don't believe Dr. Conrad is currently practicing. A spider walked across my face tonight and woke...

It doesn't air until late October, but this trailer has gotten me pumped enough to start a thread... because this show feels like it definitely deserves one. <param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param...

Anybody else into buying awesome shoes & sneakers from the internet? If so, where do you buy your stuff? So far the only places I know to check are Zappos and Shoebacca, apart from the obvious official brand stores. I've been looking for a pair of dark neutral sneaks and the actual Sneaker...

Anyone here know anything about immigration law? I'm trying to bring a boy over here from the UK and we're trying to figure out the best way to do it and what visa to apply for. How long is the process? How difficult is it?

With the new Bane picture out, I thought it was time to give The Dark Knight Rises it's own thread. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/bane-first-dark-knight-rises-190706

January is typically a low point in the year for new movie releases, but next month is unusually horrible. I'm looking at the list of what's coming out for the month, and there's not one thing I am interested in seeing at the theater. You've got "The Devil Inside" and "Don't Go In The Woods", both...

I love you guys. Have a safe and happy new year. Please don't drink and drive, because I'd miss you if you died a horrible death.

Greetings All! Welcome to the best time of the year: Aspecialthing dot com Secret Santa! The secret Santa is basically open to everyone, though if you're new to the board you may have to wait until next year. If you don't know if this includes you, ask me. I'm new at taking this over, so thank...

Okay, let's get this going. I've got some invites to thebox.bz (although, it may be open for invites already - but don't go and check) and I'd like to trade for some what.cd invites. PLEASE?

Hey folks, So I'm considering a move to vegetarianism, and I need some help. I have been off mammals for two years, but I think cutting out chicken is going to be a challenge. My wife also (rightfully) complains that my decision is going to affect her eating habits, so I want to find a lot...

I forget what the old thread was called, but I like discussing what Apple is doing with their computer lines and such (iPhone/touch + mobile app talk can stay over here). For example: http://www.macrumors.com/2008/07/25/speculation-about-a-macbook-touch-builds/ They read my letters!

Don't know how much this has been discussed but I felt like making a thread for it. Recently someone found a workprint of "Manos" and has decided to restore it. Here's the website and the story of why he's doing this. Why I'm Saving 'Manos: The Hands of Fate' And here is the Kickstarter!...

Remember that big SOPA/Protect IP debacle going on in Washington? You know, the thing that reminded us all that senators have a median age of 75 and have never touched a computer, yet are attempting to regulate the internet? There's an interesting new wrinkle to it. Last week GoDaddy.com came...
