also those gadgets people wear are why suddenly radio station ratings got a lot more reliable and is why suddenly all these rush limbaugh all the time stations are shutting down and poo poo

cuz it turned out the diary method was having people grossly overestimate how much they were listenign to stations like that but the monitors show people barely do.

in canada they use the little dongle thing. a few years back i got a letter in the mail that was a toonie attached to an invitation to do ratings for the canadian equivalent to nielsen. i kinda regret not doing it but whatever.

it's part of a series and not the first book, iirc.

I didn't really like the newest one very much. for as much comedic talent as they had in that movie, there were surprisingly few jokes

the latest one felt like a homage to stuff like red dwarf and hitch hikers guide but not as good and also not as good as hot fuzz (just watch hot fuzz instead)

i agree, i went to a screening that played shaun and hot fuzz before premiering world's end and was a lil disappointed

got a t shirt, v drunk, and the chance to see all of them on a fuckoff big screen tho

also this blu ray has three commentary tracks, one with quentin tarantino :pwn:

how are the commentaries



World's End was like a pretty decent late bloomer coming of age/male friendships story but it wasn't what I was expecting. I figured it'd be a lot sillier in the way that SotD and Hot Fuzz were silly, where it was funny and absurd but still played straight so the dramatic plotlines weren't completely disposible. it really seemed like a college student's attempt at aping the style of the previous two movies
