    Oh I figure they do it up for Drama. But some of these ladies are also just wack jobs anyway. I mean you can selectively edit some things, but there are others where you can tell the behavior is normal, well normal for them.

    I used to think so, until I saw the episode with my friend in it. I knew her pretty well. It was like watching someone else.

    I've seen other episodes. I can't guarantee that some of those ladies aren't genuinely crazy. But...I have serious doubts after seeing the episode with my friend.

    Present tense is used for atemporal facts or a temporal narrative

    present perfect, with the participle and auxiliary verbs, is used to emphasize continuity from past to present

    in many cases they are interchangeable or so subtly nuanced that they might as well be

    Was hers recent? Like I think some of the time they claim the lady is a "Bridezilla" when they didn't really do anything horrible. And others you can tell they are editing to make it seem like the bride is reasonable when she's anything but. They had a two hour episode recently with a lady who claimed to have a second personality "bambi" jesus that lady, she had 6 fucking wedding dresses 6! Thats at leas six thousand dollars for fucking nothing.

    I tend to agree with Drez here. By their very nature of being there, cameras change what is seen.

    Seriously, though, you put a camera in front of someone and 999,999 times out of 1,000,000, they are no longer the person they were a second ago.

    Also, that's not to wave aside the fact that acting like a crazy person on "reality TV" where a good many people will see you just for...money? Shits and giggles? is itself a little wacky.

    Yeah even if you are hamming it up for the camera, thats all the world would ever see. Why would you be a super rude bitch to your family "for the camera" and all the world. Its not like they are going to offer one of these ladies a real show or anything. I feel sorry for the camera crews and grooms. God knows I'd have second thoughts if my wife acted like that prior to our wedding.

    Oh hell no, we just like watching it for our 45 minutes of hate. Our wedding was a destination one in Vegas for cheap. My mother in law was the zilla with her outlandish demands and bitchy behavior.

    Like she had never met my father ever prior to us getting married, within twenty minutes of meeting him she was asking what he was going to pay towards the after wedding dinner. Now she had never talked to me about this, and just said it out of the blue, that was fucking embarrasing.

    They completely diverged from their normal style on that album and to be honest, I wasn't sure I liked it at first. It grew on me and there are some very solid songs on it - I'm partial to When The Angels Hung Around and Breaking Up - but she segued into disco there which was really weird.

    It still has the same witty lyricism as their previous albums, but the musical style is definitely different.

    Some of my favorite pre-UTB tracks:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P24NW3o38u0

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ytDShWdLUA

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55asu_d8pAY

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPdCBHM7JUE

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZBvAAzMphE

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U2zuO7a9cQ

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoBnGXkihu8

    But really there's so many amazing Rilo Kiley songs.

    There should be a reality tv show about a group of friends who just hang out and have fun and are nice to each other and everybody else

    and the little candid interviews are them talking about how everyone else is great

    and sometimes they disagree but it's always resolved healthily and without anger or violence

    it would be kinda like the fireplace channel

    More Adventurous is the best by a decent margin. The Execution Of All Things is good too. Under The Blacklight was rather different and not at all what they are good at.

    Go with 720p, nominally. Otherwise whatever you like the look of better - though 720p will be easier on the eyes in the long term because it's not interlaced.
