Who is on your movie Will Not See list?

(rehashed from a reply that I did earlier today)

My WLS list is largely the following:

Tom Cruise (not playing with a full set of oars in the belfry)
Jim Carrey (I don't like his 'rubber face' comedies, loved Me, Myself & Irene and liked Liar, Liar)
Chris Farley (don't have to worry about new flics from him, I don't care for angry comedy)
David Spade
Hugh Grant (though I love Love Actually)
Paris Hilton and her ilk (famous for being famous) are on it, not that she's likely to make anything that I'll be interested in seeing.

I'm pretty flexible (or easy) when it comes to movies. I can't say I'm a huge fan of Jack Black, as I don't think I can name anything of his that I've seen aside from KFP and King Kong, but he's growing on me. Sandler? He was on my WNS list as he was constantly rehashing his angry hick character, or so it seemed to me. I still haven't seen Zohan yet, hope to see it this afternoon, but he seems to be moving away from that, and the idea intrigues me.

Would you pay $500 for an ethernet cable for your stereo?

Denon thinks you will.

I kid you not. Denon is seling a 1.5 meter ethernet cable for $500. But it has an amazing feature: an arrow on each connector to show you how to connect it(?).

Seriously. I am not joking. $500 for an ethernet cable.

The reason that I link to it is because the comments are priceless, especially if you are an audiophile. So you can give Denon $500, or walk in to Best Buy and buy one for $10, or make it yourself if you have the tool and supplies for less than a dollar.

Metallica spends $1 and reverses itself on supressing online reviews!

According to the article, they were on tour, and when they got back, they "spanked the ears of their management" and are posting links to reviews.
