About that IMAX boycott...
jstn: Calling for an IMAX boycott azizisbored: If you don’t want the whole long story, I did some research online and found this article that explains it.

Thanks to Evan for the tip.

Barak Hardley saved me 15 minutes. This post articulates almost precisely my feelings on the Susan Boyle phenomenon. I would only have added some stuff about the self-congratulatory, unbelievably two-faced BS treatment she was given by those bastions of culture, The Today Show. And I also would have said something like: “and really, let’s be honest, people, she’s not THAT good...
