A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

never had a bird.
but DID have a huge bird-cage....
for a certain green iguana named Dr. Benway who did not make chirpy sounds. He was completely, deathly silent. He would stare at you with HATE in his eyes, until he got his dose of sunlight and pile of kale and bok choy. Then he became a happy little slut.

My current bird count is 4. One zebra finch who has a real love/hate relationship with WFMU (depends on the DJ) and three chickens who are on borrowed time (the place that slaughters our chickens doesn't want to go through the hassle for only three birds).

I'd say your categorically imperative view of the world puts you into the same boat as the creationists you're criticizing.
Avatar ♥   Tue. 1/29/13 10:35am Andrew Waterloo:

I think there are certain implications to believing that evolution is a huge lie, and a conspiracy to allow people to act ungodly.
Avatar ♥   Tue. 1/29/13 10:36am duke:

The problem with creationists is that they reject evidence when it's presented to them in favor of their pre-existing notions. In Galileo's time, most scientists (natural philosophers) were creationists, by Newton's time most believed in some form of intelligent design. After Darwin, most scientists started taking evolution as a fact and started rejecting design. Knowledge advances when you accept the evidence.

Side note - I wish everyone would read Carl Sagan's "Demon Haunted World:Science as a Candle in the Dark" Definitely a game changer.
  Tue. 1/29/13 10:43am Brian:

I agree with Trouble - but note that it's certainly no longer than 6000 years.
Avatar ♥   Tue. 1/29/13 10:44am anarchivist:

For some people scientific evidence about how the universe/man was created is irrelevant to their lives. For example, an indigenous person living in a rainforest. Their stories about their society and lives are what is important. To say this is moronic is going a bit far. To people of Abrahamic religions this is also the case. I'm just saying we should be respectful of other belief systems and not call them morons because they don't fit with the ones that fulfill our needs.

Avatar ♥   Tue. 1/29/13 10:50am glenn:

The way to deal with superstition is not to be polite to it, but to tackle it with all arms, and so rout it, cripple it, and make it forever infamous and ridiculous. Is it, perchance, cherished by persons who should know better? Then their folly should be brought out into the light of day, and exhibited there in all its hideousness until they flee from it, hiding their heads in shame.
True enough, even a superstitious man has certain inalienable rights. He has a right to harbor and indulge his imbecilities as long as he pleases, provided only he does not try to inflict them upon other men by force. He has a right to argue for them as eloquently as he can, in season and out of season. He has a right to teach them to his children. But certainly he has no right to be protected against the free criticism of those who do not hold them. He has no right to demand that they be treated as sacred. He has no right to preach them without challenge. Did Darrow, in the course of his dreadful bombardment of Bryan, drop a few shells, incidentally, into measurably cleaner camps? Then let the garrisons of those camps look to their defenses. They are free to shoot back. But they can’t disarm their enemy.

i very much liked "the lives of others" as well. my friend likes the "what is the name of... of, your ball", in the elevator scene. a woman professor in germany told me "oh man, that movie is SO true".

How's about this one?! Thanks Brian, yes. He's playing Heaven but I'm not sure I can face standing up for an hour and a half. Then he's doing SBE, which is a horrible venue.Might go to a church in Brighton instead.

Yes Trouble. The Lives of Others is a great film.

I just use Netflix and watch the Daily Show on their website. There is digital over the air, but I've never felt the need to buy the box for it.

Trouble, if you have internet service from a cable provider, you can just put a splitter on the cable before it goes into your modem and run a second cable to your TV - you will get all of the basic channels (i.e., no AMC, TCM, etc.) for no additional cost.

I prefer 60 hz HDTV sets but if you get a 120 or 240 hz set then be SURE to turn OFF the horrible "auto motion" setting, hidden in the settings on the TV (a.k.a. "motion interpolation" or "motion smoothing") which makes everything look like a cheap soap opera.

We dumped cable a couple of years ago. We watch Netflix on our laptops and the Wii. We sometimes watch free HULU as well. Youtube and the occasional stream from MSNBC. Not much desire for anything else.
Avatar ♥   Tue. 1/29/13 11:27am Jennique:

I do not have cable, but I have a hockey puck looking apparatus called Appletv, which allows me to watch all sorts of stuff like hulu, vimeo, youtube on my tv. If I want to pay for stuff it logs me onto iTunes, where I order movies and tv series like Breaking Bad. Pretty much satisfies all my tv needs.
Side note: heard this song on Duane's show. Love-r-ly.

I was driving on the M1 and horrible English station played Tube Station at Midnight. I'm like YES! Finally! when it was over they back announced it as a Golden Oldie! Argh!

Depending on where you live, you might be able to buy a cheap, small TV antenna that you can use to snatch the signal out of the air. Full-quality HD image, too.

Trouble, you can make a DIY HD antenna and get free HD TV channels...instructions on YouTube.
Avatar ♥   Tue. 1/29/13 11:28am dale:

get an antenna trouble, you will get true hi-def. as close as you are to transmitters you should get tons of stuff with an indoor antenna. make sure it's both vhf and uhf as abc, wpix and wnet broadcast on vhf band. we live 75 miles away and get a lot of channels with a homemade coathanget unit inside, plus a signal amplifier from channel master.

I don't know if I can post links here but the CEA and NAB have a site at www.antennaweb.org that lets you punch in your location and see what kind of antenna you need to pick up different stations.
Avatar ♥   Tue. 1/29/13 11:29am Brian in UK:

@KP Usual crap stations like Heart or Magic
Avatar Tue. 1/29/13 11:30am ken in denver:

We gave up cable a few months ago. Getting all the over-the-air channels - including some I hadn't heard of - via digital antenna, and most of our old cable shows, after the fact, thru laptop on TV. Best part is all the old movies on YouTube. We may quit Netflix because we don't watchi it nearly as much.
Avatar ♥   Tue. 1/29/13 11:30am rsj:

i've got a google tv, its a little funky (works well with a dedicated WFMU browser for listening to music) and has a decent remote and controls the cable, that said i think you need the HD feed from the box....cable is my only option for hi speed internet so the cable tv is basically free.
  Tue. 1/29/13 11:30am PJ:

If you liked the Lives of Others, you should listen to Benjamen Walker's show from 1/25/12 - he has a hilarious, trenchant story about the role of the Stasi in the development of Facebook.
Avatar ♥   Tue. 1/29/13 11:30am dale:

also roku box has lots of free channels like the imdb and crackle plus netflix of course
Avatar Tue. 1/29/13 11:31am ken in denver:

The over-the-air HD picture looks even better than cable did.

the google tv has a good youtube interface, and the web browser allows you to see just about anything online...also it has audio out so you don't need to keep the tv on to listen to WFMU

Saw The Lives of Others a little while ago from Netflix. Watched Red Road at about the same time. Had a feeling someone was watching me.

No cable, just the cheapest internet service, Netflix thru the mail (no streaming) for everything else.

Brian, more like Spice Girls and variations on that theme. I did hear John Peel do a Sunday morning all talk show that was wonderful and hysterical.
Avatar ♥   Tue. 1/29/13 11:35am dale:

'digital' antenna is a misnomer. it is just a regular vhf/uhf antenna - rabbit ears, uhf reflector, or monster antenna on the roof. there's one called the 'mohu leaf' that sticks to the wall and is teeny but it is uhf only, so you'd miss abc and pbs in new york

Trouble, you may also like the Czech film Walking Too Fast (Pouta), which has similar themes to the Lives of Others but it a little more twisted.

hey dale - I've got just a UHF antenna, and thus miss out on pbs and abc. (I didn't read the box carefully enough). Ironically the main reason I got the thing was to watch public TV and Jeopardy. Can I ask the make/model of the vhf/uhf antenna you use, and how far outside NY are you?

In online chats, everybody seems to be cord-cutting and dumping cable, but I've read that this still isn't actually very common. ?? Maybe it's self-selecting -- people who are likely to chat are also likely to be spending more time online than watching TV. I myself cannot give up cable yet. I grew up wanting it and couldn't get it then. Watching online just isn't the same. Also I like the evil, wonderful Verizon DVR too much.

The missus is the TV watcher in BSI house. If we had fox soccer, it would be a different story. As it is, VH1 Classic has become a bit of a guiltless pleasure but otherwise I don't watch the thing.
Avatar ♥   Tue. 1/29/13 11:54am dale:

mike - i originally got just a uhf as they said that's where they would all be - then day of transition i lost alot because some channels ditched the 'test' digital bradcasts and started airing digitally back on their old vhf frquencies. i made the coat hanger version and added vhf legs to it (googled how) for my old downstairs set with a zenith converter box, and have a channel master preamp hooked inline with it. i'm in orange county ny. when the trees leaf out in the spring i lose a lot which is the nature of things. i have a bigger antenna to put on top of the house, just have to find the guts to climb a 36 ft ladder to do it. i would go to radio shack and see what they have or check out www.solidsignal.com
Avatar ♥   Tue. 1/29/13 11:55am Adrian in London:

Trouble, on a German movie theme, I recommend Sofie Scholl www.imdb.com... Julia Jentsch is great in it. Ooh, Flamme & Citron is good too, a Danish resistance film.

Walking Too Fast is actually available (probably not so legally) on YouTube with English subtitles (press the "cc" button.)

@BSI, if you like animation and you want to see something completely insane, surreal, and funny, check out Adventure Time on Cartoon Network. I mean if you like post-apocalyptic magical worlds where cute princesses go all Mengele on a bunch of living candy and dogs can shapeshift.
