Excuses and Half-Truths and Fortified Wine Edition

- The music industry abuses us and we’re to blame
Which is why we’ve pretty much abandoned iTunes (and always instantly burned and ripped all purchases in the first place) for the DRM-free pastures of Amazon and Emusic. - 25 getting Hollywood Walk of Fame stars next year
NONE of which are Adam West. How wrong is it that there is a guy in a Batman costume every day on the Walk of Fame, but Adam West doesn’t have a frackin’ star? Oh, Hollywood, how I weep for thee. - US Life on Mars a failure before it begins
This is what we’ve been fearing. The original pilot leaked to the net yesterday, and according to the Guardian, it totally blows. Also, nothing against Foghat (really, Foghat Live! is one of the great 70’s live album), but they don’t actually scream "1972" to anybody. Here’s an idea: David Bowie. - What does `watching TV’ mean in the post-TV age?
It’s a really good question. - Son of Godfather sues Paramount over video game
Apparently, someone’s wanting some of that cash from the video game version of "The Godfather". - The Status Galley: How to Pick Up Girls With the New Roth
Alternate approach: man alone at bar with crutches. Works every time. - The 25 Worst Sitcoms Ever
Pretty well-done list, and yet another reminder that the 1980s were the worst time ever for situation comedies.
