I love that they're trying out some stuff that's not just slow and dark like their back catalog. It's still distinctly Portishead, but new... Change is good... Their stuff grows on you so much. Crawls into your head and just plants a seed.

RLR. Matrix an original pastiche of coolness. RLR truly original. (First time I haven't hated a flickchart post)

Lola was cute and exciting with an interesting narative, but the Matrix was a revolution. MATRIX

I understand people disagreeing with me, but I thought you would go for RLR right away, Jandy.
- Mark Horne
I'm with Jandy. For me, so hard to choose between them.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Lola, no question
- Michael W. May
Mark, why do you normally hate them? Not interested in movies? Most matchups disinterest you? Just curious as to the reasons why you dislike them, and what you thought could make you like them more? We're always open to suggestions to improve Flickchart.
- Nathan Chase
Run Lola Run was essentially a student film with style, where The Matrix combined elements of so many various genres and story archetypes and innovative special effects to reinvent action films. It's impossible to discount the level of influence The Matrix has had on the industry, and other filmmakers since its release. Even if The Matrix itself was derived of past ideas, it was its...

- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Usually when I have hard ones like this I ask myself which I'd rather watch RIGHT NOW and choose that way. In this case, honestly, I might throw up my hands and watch something else entirely rather than have to choose.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Yeah, this is still sitting there taunting me. Nathan, if I completely close out of the site and then open it again later, is that as bad as hitting F5? (Although I know Lola's higher right now, so by refusing to choose I would be tacitly choosing Lola....)
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Lola was good, Matrix was great.
- Ubqtous
The Matrix.
- Jason Toney
Hmmm, sounds like The Matrix is winning the popular vote. I actually never did choose. I left it open though, at work. Maybe I'll decide tomorrow. I just seriously love them both so much.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I like both a lot, but I could probably watch The Matrix multiple times. RLR would just wear me out and make me want Gatorade.
- Derrick
I think I've seen both seven or eight times.

Why are these two movies competing btw? Just want to know which one we liked better?
- Fleagle
Fleagle, it's a website called Flickchart (www.flickchart.com - Nathan Chase, who commented above, is one of the creators). It gives you a set of two movies to rank against each other and you choose which one you like better, then it builds your list of favorites based on the way you rank them. This matchup came up randomly yesterday, I didn't orchestrate it.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Lola Rennt, though I did like Matrix. The Princess + the Warrior was also pretty good (same director & star as Lola).
- Thursday Lo :)
Wow. Gotta check out this Flickchart. Love the idea. Back to the debate. Gotta pick The Matrix here. So many reasons...too many to mention. Not fair to count the bad sequels against the original Matrix movie. The first one is just fantastic. Ignore the other two. Run Lola Run was a great movie, but relied too much on one gimmick. It was a gimmick that worked, but still made the movie sort of a one-trick pony.
- Fleagle
See, I think there's a lot more going on in Run Lola Run than just the surface conceit - there's a lot philosophically underneath it, from the nature of time to the exploration of multiple possible worlds (reminded me a lot of Borges' short fiction) to ethics and morality. Plus the evocation of multiple cinematic styles (animation, montage, Godardian absurdity, music video), yet making something wholly original at the same time. And The Matrix does a lot of the same things - I really, really can't decide.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Run Lola Run really WANTS to have much more going on that what is on the surface, but it just really isn't there.
- Fleagle
Lola defeats death, too, RAP. :p And Lo, yes - I love Princess and the Warrior, too. Glad to hear you liked it! I don't find that many people who do.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Uh-oh, Flickchart reloaded the matchup when I opened the browser this morning. OH WELL. And everyone, I'm not denying the awesomeness of the Matrix in defending Run Lola Run. Both films are in my top twenty (out of over 1400).
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
@scottEweinberg and there's my answer... all right, all right... I'll download/rent/stream it from somewhere and see it soon...
I haven't seen it either, if it makes you feel any better. :)
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
haha, thanks for the support :)

Grinch - it is all about the grinch cause it reminds me of my family. :-/
- Alternating Reality Books
I love the Grinch, but I think I have to choose Charlie Brown, simply for the fact that Jim Carrey has yet to make a complete and total mockery of it. I can't watch the original Grinch anymore without thinking of Jim Carrey being a complete moron for 90 minutes.
- Curtiss Grymala
Charlie Brown, without a doubt - it gets to the heart of the season. The Grinch is just too mean for me to really want to watch it.

Charlie Brown. I enjoy The Grinch, but there's just something about that little Christmas tree in Charlie Brown.

This is a tough one. They both have good messages...hmmmm...I'm going to go with The Grinch. While I love the soundtrack to Charlie Brown, the animation is so much more creative in The Grinch.

- Admiral Anika
I haven't watched Part 2 yet, so I can't comment on it, but I don't really get the love for The Godfather either. I recently rewatched it and I get that it's extremely well-crafted, and I can appreciate the filmmaking skill that went into it, but it just doesn't seem to deserve the kind of praise that gets lavished on it. It's good, yes. But it's not the greatest movie of all time (neither is <em>Citizen Kane</em>, for that matter, but it's better than <em>The Godfather</em>).

I liked them, but Titanic is the highest grossing film of all time and I hated that. New Moon made eleventy million dollars last week, and you couldn't pay me to see that. People LOVE Fight Club. I think it's merely ok. So, see what you want based on your ranking, not that of others.

The book The Godfather was excellent and I really enjoyed it, but I have to admit I enjoyed both The Godfather movie Part 1 and Part 2.

There are movies out currently I wouldn't go to see for free. Matter of taste I guess.

That's wine-soaked shitake and red onion, on a hickory smoked turkey patty covered in pepperjack & sharp cheddar, on a sesame seed buN (LOL @Amanda) slathered in garlic tahini. My inspiration: http://friendfeed.com/e...
- Admiral Anika
Holy shit.
- Mike Nayyar
I don't eat ketchup when ranch dressing is around so that is what in the spoon.
- Admiral Anika
OMG and the French fries are perfect; crispy on the outside, creamy inside. I fucking rock.
- Admiral Anika
Damn, looks good! Esp with the avo
- Mo Kargas
yum yum yum. Agree with Mo on the avo :)
- Penny
Never used tahini on a burger before, but great googamooga, this is downright delicious. I think I wet my pants in excitement.
- Admiral Anika
i'll start with the fries!
- Andy Sternberg
I'd have to leave off the shitake and onion, but other than that, sounds DELISH.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Food inhaled. Mama happy. Should have passed the gross Pacifio over for a red wine, but the food was delish!
- Admiral Anika
Oooh proper thick cut chips, yum! Pass the salt n vinegar
- Sally Church
Take that avocado off, and we can break bread, girl. O_o
- Derrick
Whoa nom
- Rodfather
I'll take the "plain" version with just the patty, pepperjack, cheddar, and bun - sounds tasty!
- Nathan Chase
Bump for its beauty -- and it's not even a picture of your kids.

Damn, That looks just about good enough to eat!

- Helen Sventitsky
Wow, and I thought that Five Guys had an extensive list of toppings. You definitely have them beat!

So...nobody's curious about the "sesame seed bum"? :D

Why do I not listen to jazz more often? This shit is fantastic. (Coltrane on now.) I need jazz edumacating, though.

Try some stuff by The Bad Plus - a good primer for some indie-jazz as they do covers of some well known tunes. Also recommended: Robert Glasper Trio, Paul Desmond, and Harry Connick Jr.'s jazz-funk albums, "Star Turtle" and "She".

I am in a serious jazz phase at the moment (writing this with Miles Davis on)

Based on Glenn Beck getting politically active; who would you vote for if you HAD to vote for republican: Glenn Beck, Sarah Pallin or Newt Gingrich?
Hi Judy, I just noticed that your account disappeared and now it's back again. Are you okay?
- Rochelle
Ya I went over to Cliqset and tried it out but didn't like it so came back over here things are better, MUCH Better.
- Judy Jones
Newt
- Josh Haley
I tend to agree, Josh. I like Beck personally but he's kind of extreme. Plus Newt has more experience than Sarah.
- Judy Jones
I don't think any of them are responsible enough to hold public office, so I'd abstain.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Is that really the best the GOP has to offer?
- Jared B. Luther
I could never ever vote for Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin. Beck doesn't even seem rational; Palin is a complete dumbbell who got politically lucky. I hate to say that Newt is looking like the moderate of the three - and I was a founding member of a street theater group called No Newts in 1995, so that's saying something. Eek.
- Amy℠
Beck is a nut job......Palin is a moron.......and Newt Gingrich.....yeesh......some people never go away.
- Bonnie Foster
Bob Barr again.
- Jeremy (cropmarks)
Probably Beck, even though he's gone way off the deep end since his fame has grown. He'd get the Fair Tax passed, which I'd support.

I heard about this and my mom said her grocery store had bare shelves where pumpkin normally is. I looked at my store today, though, and there was TONS of canned pumpkin.
- Rochelle
Oh no! This better not impact the amount of pumpkin pie available for my consumption this year...

"Woopra is an excellent alternative. Its free option is quite good for sites with less than 30,000 pageviews. I agree that for larger businesses, justifying the monthly expense and return on investment for their sites with lots of traffic is difficult."

Out of principle, I will never, ever, EVER play the online game EVONY. Have you seen their ads? Bikini and lingerie girls that have absolutely nothing to do with the game. FALSE ADVERTISING!

Yup, they say pretty much what I did. This is the very molten-core rock bottom in advertising. You could argue that ads for porn are worse, but at least those aren't bait-and-switch false advertising.
- Jason Huebel
I signed up to play it when they had the knight in the ads. I was surprised to see the direction they went in subsequent ads.
- Derek Coward
I took a look at it early on as well, but didn't end up signing up for the game. It looks a lot like Age of Empires in a browser. I didn't enjoy AoE much.

People that have no idea what's involved to complete a task, who complain about why it's not done, annoy me immensely. If you want to know why it's not done, ask me, and I'll explain it to you. Don't be an asshole and assume everything is quick and easy.
