I'm not familiar enough with the aliens in question to express an opinion, but this reminds me of another favorite debate: Terminator or Robocop?

Terminator gets a lot of reflexive credit, but if you roll the tape, you'll see Robocop was quite the badass.

If I have the guts to wear my Red Sox gear to the upper deck of old Yankees Stadium for a game when Pedro was pitching for the Sox, Ozzie should have the cajones to wear hit 9F gear to Kenan. OK, now that's just insane. At least Ozzie's got going for him the fact that most UNC fans won't know what ...

Any other Carmax lovers in the house? I've bought and sold several cars through Carmax and always been very satisfied. You always get a fair deal - not the greatest possible deal - but it's zero hassle, which is worth a lot to me. I'm a big fan.

Sky Blue Sky took several listens to grow on me, but eventually it did. I haven't heard the new one yet. What do you all think? By the way, if you like Wilco and haven't seen the documentary I Am Trying To Break Your Heart , I highly recommend it. It's the story of the making of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot...

Wow, beautiful painting. You are really, really good. All types of painting are mysterious to me, but watercolor is especially impressive. You have a gift for the lightness of light... if that makes sense.

It's Elisabeth but otherwise http://www.salisburypost.com/Lifestyle/060409-Six-in-the-City-review Argh, bummed I missed the show. Congratulations! I saw a great play in Charleston last week, part of the Spoleto festival. It's called "Good Cop, Bad Cop." In a nutshell, it's a theater/film combinatio...

Tilly alerted me earlier today that we had some new members that seemed curious, I've just noticed that we have another one. Hopefully I won't have to take the route that McGrupp did with BTD (verifying new members via email), but these "members" are in actuality spammers. I don't know what the poi...

Oooh, that's a great one. And would be very soothing on a desert island.

Hmmm. Off the top of my head, and subject to major revision...

Any and all are welcome at BTD. Please note that registering is a bit of a hassle. Basically I need each new registrant to send me a personal email because we get hundreds of Russian porn bots trying to register each day. You can find the details within the "please read before posting" thread that i...

Wasn't it 'Black Friday' (or whichever day of the week that actually was)? Thanks everyone for your well wishes. It is flattering so many of you apparently remember me from the old days. I started posting on DBR around 1998 or 1999, during the Clinton administration. I was not a great fan of Clinto...

Hello everyone. I see the subject of Begging To Differ has come up here. I thought I would give a quick recap of BTD's history. We started out as a collaborative blog written by four regular DBR posters: McGrupp, Blue Diablo, DevilTribe and Ramar Wright. The idea was for two liberals and two conserv...

I am convinced most of those dudes are jacked up on cocaine or meth on those 36-hour shifts. Given their smoking and drinking habits, their insane personalities, and the need to work absurd hours... gotsta be drugs on those boats.

What a relief!

OK, Sharon Stone. That's my last guess.

You don't say!

Moderation is very tricky. I tend to believe "less is more" where moderation is concerned, but whatever is decided, it ain't easy.

Cybil Shepard (please say no)

Chris, I just checked out the galleries on your site and your work is really, really impressive. I am especially interested in your portraits. Do you do a lot of them or do you focus more on other things?
