Poop.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; I looked around at some movies I might like to see in the near future (Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth, The Prestige, Russel Peters, Children of Men), tried to figure out how I could listen to the fantastic James Brown Respect show done at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ninjatune.com\/solidsteel\" target=\"_blank\">SolidSteel<\/a> (but it&#8217;s now an &#8220;Archived Show&#8221; at TotallyRadio.
