"It's pretty depressing when people are so short-sighted that they immediately change their mind about something being "good" or not based on something like religion. As a member of a band (who has played shows with Farewell Flight and find that they are awesome dudes on and off stage, regardless of anything related to religion or any other personal convictions of theirs), I'm glad when I talk to people who seem to have some sort of depth or substance. A small but usually accurate indicator of this can be whether or not they hold opinions like the one Sam has voiced. A lot of bands find it sort of comforting that their fans aren't hipsters, bigots, or just overtly judgmental people in general. It's good that people like Sam find out that bands they like are Christians or so- five-minutes-ago or whatever it is that these people choose to hate at the moment so they can turn on them and talk shit about them because of factors that are completely irrelevant to the way the songs vibrate in his ears. I hope that Sam isn't older than maybe 16 or so, because that would be pretty sad. I also hope he eventually opens his mind up a little bit and enables his self to enjoy things in a bit more of a detached fashion. It can be pretty refreshing." — Jesse on "Farewell Flight: Sound. Color. Motion."

"I'm with Jim on Pizza Grille. I've been there twice for lunch, ordered salads both times. While the ingredients were fresh and the service was sufficient, I didn't find the food to be memorable or inspired. It definitely offers a nicer environment and a lot higher quality ingredients than your average pizza joint, though, which probably appeals to families." — Dori on "Restaurant Round-Up: Pizza Grille, Schiano's Italian Restaurant & Rock Bass Grill"

"maan, I'm kind of bummed I missed that. I didn't realize Ben Kweller was playing too....." — Lily on "Conor Oberst, Industrial Rap, Profanity & Messiah College"

"You make an excellent point. And let me get it out there that I love Pierce Brosnan. I think he is the smoothest human being alive, and he did have a few scripts that were absolute clunkers. The last one especially. I did a bit of research and it appears as though Craig is committed to doing 5 total Bonds, so at the pace of one every 2 years, the role is probably his until about 2014." — Justin on "The New Bond"

"The whole time I was watching this, I kept forgetting that Craig is supposed to be Bond. He's an incredible actor, but just doesn't have the look. He's definitely physical, but I kept thinking during the Tosca scene that he doesn't have Connery's etiquette to fit into that social arena. Another note--while I don't think Brosnan is the actor Craig is, I don't think the critics give Brosnan credit for dealing with less-than-stellar scripts. He also didn't have the opportunity to recreate the character from scratch. Personally, I'm hoping Ioan Gruffudd grows into the role a few pictures from now and is able to recreate Craig's intensity. EON hiring Dan Bradley from Bourne definitely made the pacing just right--it wasn't slow, yet wasn't the Blair Witch ADD cutting that Greengrass is praised for." — Rich Hauck on "The New Bond"
