Simpsons Movie: What Are Your Expectations?

nkife52 @nkife52 (207) • Canada 24 Jan 07

I'm hoping they've brought back some of the older writers for the movie, because the recent episodes have been getting pretty lame. I'm expecting great things, though, because it's taken them so long to start working on it....

nkife52 Now that I think of it, the 30-minute episodes do seem kind of rushed sometimes. It can be hard to notice since most of us are used to fast-paced TV story lines, but maybe the movie will slow things down a bit and let them expand.

Do you think Radiohead is over-rated?

nkife52 @nkife52 (207) • Canada 24 Jan 07

So many people obsess over them, it's quite ridiculous. I mean, they are a really good band, but do they really deserve their cult-like status?

nkife52 I agree that they're not completely mainstream, especially compared to U2, and I give them credit for sticking to what they like to do best.

Who are you named after?

My name, Stuart, is shared by my grandpa. One of my friends at work was named after Jenna from the TV show Dallas.

A possible new cure for cancer, but drug companies won't fund it.

nkife52 @nkife52 (207) • Canada 31 Jan 07

This is a very disturbing story that shows just how the big pharmaceutical companies today are so entrenched in the capitalistic mind set that even a possible cure for cancer isn't worth their attention if it won't make them much...

nkife52 New Scientist has an article on this as well, so it's safe to say that it's legit.

nkife52 It'll be interesting to see how the many Simpsons fans react when the movie is released. In the back of my mind I am almost expecting a bit of a disappointment, as you say; it just seems like it would take a lot of creativity to make it work.

nkife52 Creep is probably their most famous song in the mainstream sense, but I don't think the band even plays it any more. It's definitely one of their more radio-friendly hits that is recognized by a lot of people.

A question for those who take ESL (English and a Second Language)

nkife52 @nkife52 (207) • Canada 29 Jan 07

I was wondering, for those who are learning English, are you taught the American or British/Canadian way of spelling? For instance, British/Canadian English inserts U's into words like colour, neighbour and saviour and says...

nkife52 I like it better as well. It may mean extra work in inserting all those extra letters, but I think it makes the words look nicer.

nkife52 Yeah that's odd. If you look in Canadian dictionaries you will see the U's; it's the Americans that don't use them. Check out

nkife52 Haha.. that's kind of odd that your name came from an obituary column. It's a nice name, though. My dad's girlfriend's name is Judy. I think she's a little too old to have been named after Judy Garland though.

It's -27 degrees celsius in Toronto right now (-16.6 Fahrenheit ).

nkife52 @nkife52 (207) • Canada 25 Jan 07

It's -15 without the wind chill. This is why humans need to hibernate through the winter, or at least us Canadians.

nkife52 It can be nice if you're in a nice and warm place. It's also great when the streets are empty and bare. Like it's the end of the world.

Have you solved the Donnie Darko website?

nkife52 @nkife52 (207) • Canada 24 Jan 07

http://www.donniedarko.com It's really quite brilliant. You can do a Google search for the passwords, or try it out for yourself. How far can you get?

nkife52 Yeah, even having seen the movie I had to google for the passwords. The ending of the website puzzle is weird though; you're not sure if it's actually done or if there's more to it.

nkife52 I know he plays Mr Costanza's caped lawyer. You don't really get a good look at him though. At the end of that episode he saves someone from jumping off a bridge.

If you could organize your dream concert, who would play?

nkife52 @nkife52 (207) • Canada 25 Jan 07

Also, who would headline? There are way too many bands and artists that I would have play, it would have to be a three-day festival at least. I would have to have a band like AC/DC or The Rolling Stones headline, though.

nkife52 Yeah that's odd that you don't get the same kind of weather that us Canadians do. I guess it has something to do with the air flow patterns of the world and all the arctic wind we get.

Are you on Last.fm?

nkife52 @nkife52 (207) • Canada 24 Jan 07

Last.fm is great for keeping track of what you listen to and finding new bands and artists you like. Does anyone here have a profile? I'm at http://www.last.fm/users/nkife.

nkife52 It's really handy if you're a big music fan, and are constantly listening to different types of music. It's helped me catalogue who my favourite bands, artists and albums of all time are.
