  1. WEC was way better. Melendez/Thomson saved what would have been a pretty paint-by-numbers Strikeforce card. I enjoyed seeing Jacare and King Mo roll, but it was expected. Le/Smith was more fun if you look at the box score.
  2. It's hard to find anywhere where MMA fans actually know what their talking about. Sherdog stinks. Every place you go has opinions that change as the wind blows.
  3. Is that correct? I am working on adding more detail instead of the "enter, exit, enter, exit" formula. If you've already referenced the desk drawer, you can probably get rid of it. I would go with something like... Mr. Foreman sits in his chair again and pulls out another folder. He opens it and slides a piece of paper across the desk toward Mathew. It may not apply here, but take advantage of actions. They are one of the only ways you get to direct as a writer. If you've written that he "sits" multiple times, change to word to "plops" or something that gives indication of character though situational action.
  4. We should really hook you up with UTorr...er, something or other.
  5. I wouldn't vote until the end of the year at the earliest. I still haven't seen Sherlock, Avatar, or a host of others that I am in possession of... I was planning on doing a Best and Worst of 2009 topic once I reached 100 films seen this year. I am close... (Y)
  6. The movie seemed to think it was doing us a service by making each wild thing represent something in the main character's life. None of it is easy to peg down, which makes the film more irritating than fun. I've even looked up different interpretations written on the internet by people who idolize the film. Every explanation I've seen lists some good, noticeable details and then trails off with "I don't know about these characters, but this is what I think..." With a film like this, a children's movie, you need to be make everyone realize what is actually happening in the imagination world. Kids should be able to get it. Adults should be able to get it. EVERYONE should be able to get it. The way it comes off, I don't think the filmmakers even got it. The effects were wonderful. The scope of the film was fan-dabi-dozi. Anyone who tackled this idea would have come at much differently than this outcome. Jonze should be commended for that. He just didn't have a bead on what this film was trying to accomplish. I do wonder if he was forced to cut a substantial amount from the version we saw though, knowing how troubled the movie was in production...
  7. From -7 to 0 and back again. Make up your mind, guys...

  8. Where The Wild Things Are - ** out of ***** Didn't do it for me in more ways than one...
  9. I think you might like Fantastic Mr. Fox...check it out on DVD.
  10. I guess Jones/Vera has been pushed back to a Fight Night on VS... They have to fill that empty spot on 109. I wonder what they'll come up with.
  11. Julie & Julia - *** out of ***** Meryl Streep was fucking delightful.
  12. That would be a good one too. I find it funny that Lil' Nog probably takes a step up in opponent for pulling out of this fight...
  13. I read a bunch of the Star Wars novels as a youth. Haven't bothered with them in a long time, but have kept track of their happenings out of curiousity...
  14. I think Jones is a better opponent for Vera. Who's next for Lil' Nog now? I'm going to guess Rich Franklin...
  15. Paranormal Activity - * out of *****
  16. Three pages of a feature-length? I'd check it out...
