    "... there are known knowns; there are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns; that is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns - there are things we do not know we don't know. But we do know the size of Kim Jong Un's joint."

    Yeah, kinda sorta. Dark Matter may still be only a theory, but it answers so many difficult questions it has become accepted theory, as muddy as it may still be in application. Now the entire black hole threshold reality as a 3D projection from a 2D data set theory has been called into question...

    This is new to me, but the vibe I got from these profs is that Hawking captured the public's attention as "the smartest man in the world", partly because of his unusual circumstances and the resultant PR buzz off it--and the science community kind of resents it since he is just one of many...

    There were just a couple of top physicists on NPR and the host asked them "When has Stephen Hawking ever been wrong about anything?" The first guy answers, "Every time he ever said anything." The second guy concurred. "When has he ever been proven right on anything?" I wasn't aware of this, but...

    I actually like Swift's earlier hits, very catchy and cute. Right up through "Trouble" which deserves the attention it got, a terrific bit of pop ear candy. Her competition in the form of Katy Perry and Gaga have slipped badly of late. The question is can she maintain her song and production...

    Her vocal still exhibited notable intonation (pitch) problems, something that's plagued her live performance from the beginning. I'm a record producer, my job is to hear this stuff. That was not a good take. One more time, Taylor. Rolling.....and this time, lose the phony Southern drawl, you're...

    I'm not sure if it's that, or he's simply been dragged out of the hidey-craphole he describes to us that he's been living in for the interrogation. Me and my friends went through a whole nihilism/life is meaningless thing from middle school on so I'm very comfortable with Cohle's "human life...

    Nothing wrong with sending that message, but they went way, way beyond that with the multi-marriage-meets-politics pageant that had nothing to do with music. Just voting for that song and Macklemore winning, then performing that song was a clear message sent. Fine. But organizing an elaborate...

    If anybody thought they stuck too much rap in there, it just shows you haven't been paying attention. Go back 3 or 4 years and it was ALL rap all the time!

    There wouldn't have been all the politics excepting that Macklemore won and one of their hits was a mega-worldwide hit about a political subject. Then add to that the fact that gays are a major component in show biz and you have a pretty unavoidable soap box dynamic. Which is baloney because if...

    And that got even better last night. MM might as well start dusting off a space for his Emmy right now.
  12. TV Show Talk
    This is one of the new "time machine" hipster edit styles where you jump all over hell all the time. It can get pretty confusing. I suspect those unnecessary things are going to pay off down the road.
  13. TV Show Talk
    It's yet another show you gotta stick the subtitles on or lose 20% of the dialog. "Ah shum dawn da hollah wuch youse say mah fauntin?" Ooookay. Let's see what Mr. Translator at the bottom of the screen has to say about that. I do the same with Downton Abbey and used to on Breaking Bad. Also...

    Vera and Freddie are just so awesome in this. They don't skimp on the creepiness factor of the incest either, they just stick it right out there. Has a terrific Twin Peaks vibe as well.

    +1000! This is a fantastic bit of writing and acting and production in general. So good, in fact, that I think it's over a lot of folks' heads. There's so much going on in some of these scenes that I suspect the average shlub used to lowest-common-denominator shows like True Blood or sitcoms or...

    I'm looking forward to its return, for sure. If just for another hit of his wild-eyed idealism at a time of maximum cynicism. "Forums are like card games. You have to talk the game to keep it going. But it wouldn't be nearly as much fun without the other stuff that comes up."

    Same-E is one of the new wonder drugs that can change lives. It does about 30 amazing beneficial things at the same time--top two being arthritis aid and mood enhancer. A friend's mom couldn't get out of her chair with arthritis and I turned her on to Sam-E, she was up and walking and feeling...

    My brother was one of those thrill-seeker guys, started racing cars and jumping out of airplanes as a teenager. Like you say, that's the only way he could feel the same dopamine or whatever rush I do when a gorgeous girl merely walks by. I never needed to risk life and limb to feel fully alive...

    Coke is frequently cut with meth and other "uppers", and has its own frantic meth-like effect even solo. I know a guy who smoked and still smokes massive amounts of strong pot to get "normal". And it seems to work. This is an amount that would level you or me. Some folks are just wired really...

    Weathernation seems pretty dedicated to sticking to actual live weather coverage 24/7 so that's an improvement. They just need to upgrade their ridiculous-looking home-made stills and shaky iPhone vids with live pro video of given locations.
