Don't they have Blockbuster in the UK??? It's a great movie. You definitely have to see it!!!!

I thought this was interesting!!

My popculture analysis: Seinfeld's Fiendish Four were to the 90's what the Fab Four were to the 60's: Seinfeld ran for almost the entire decade, just as the Beatles' career did in their time -- all four rose to roughly equal stature during their time at the top, as did the Beatles (in terms of songwriting) -- the Seinfour's influence was felt in other popculture domains, just as the Moptops were -- there is even a promo-photo of the quirky quartet that uses the famed look of the "Meet the Beatles" cover, and a perSeinified version of the South Park characters. Note how both images show the characters in the same order -- Jerry, George, Elaine, Kramer. Coincidence? Okay, maybe... but the Beatles too always had a pecking order (the press, and everyone else, always used the same order: "John, Paul, George, Ringo")...


Another similarity with the Beatles, perhaps the most crucial, was how the Seinfabs evolved over the decade. As the sixties began, The Beatles were good, not great, which is why so many record labels passed on them - but they improved and evolved relentlessly until they became stellar showmen and deft songwriters, hitting their stride just when they got a shot at a mass audience. Same for Seinfeld. They were good at first, with witty wordplay and scripts with simple plots, but they morphed into more complex plot schemes and characters who hit their stride and full potential, just as their move to Thursdays helped their popularity soar. What started as a little show about nothing became ultimately a big soap opera about everything, with a steady stream of hilarious characters weaving in and out of complex plots that often relied on wild coincidence -- but we could suspend our disbelief through our belly laughs. Seinfeld evolved over the nineties, as any great show (or band, or species, or any organic entity) should. And the result was spec-tacular.

One final Beatle-Seinfeld comparison worth mentioning is how each character in each group seems to have a match, at least in spirit, in the other quartet:
JOHN/JERRY: the leader; broke up his group even though they were still popular and other members wanted to keep things going.
PAUL/ELAINE: the pretty one.
GEORGE/GEORGE: always searching for meaning; into dark humor; sarcastic view of life.
RINGO/KRAMER: the oddball; the oddest looking.

I like Seinfeld! My brother watches it all the time, they have re-runs here in Belgium again.

Anyroad, I saw this movie called 'Airheads' today and there's someone who said rock 'n' roll died after Lennon died.

There is a Blockbuster but alas, no copy. ..I'm d-loadin it as we speak.

Oh wow I need to start watching the Simpsons more.

Ha. So they actually have Blockbuster in the UK. Do you have a Starbucks on every corner as well?  

It's gettin there...Not here on The Isle of Wight tho...Not long had Drive thru's!!! lol

The Isle of Wight. What is that like the Isle of Staten?  J/K!

You could say Alcatraz in some instances! hehehe!  

I think we get a mention in the Harrison Ford film...In Clear And Present Danger ...where one of the bad guys is locked up in Albany prison here on the Isle of Wight.

A cover band plays a (bad) version of All My Loving in the movie My Girl 2.

Okay, I just heard one on a Gilmore Girls repeat. ONe girl has a CD of Yoko Ono and the other girl goes: "yoko one? Really" ANd she goes: She's a misunderstood artist and the Beatles would have broken up anyway!" The other girl says. "Okay, still in denial?" It goes on where she mentions Sean and Julian, but I"ve bored you enough already! Oh, then they play some annoying french girl doing God Only Knows. Ewww.

Hahaha. Lots of bad music in that episode.

Hey, I was just watching American Idol and some chick named Nadia Turner did a not-too-bad performance of My Love. <3

We had a Pop Idol show over here a year or two ago which was a Beatles special. The finalists had to sing their favourite Beatles song.
