Two college Football games I can think of (and by Football, I mean American, not Soccer). although I don't remember the years: 1. Conference Championship game: Colorado vs. Colorado State. The Buffalos shouldn't have won, because the timekeeper or whoever is supposed to keep track of what down it is fucked up miserably. Colorado scored the game winning touchdown on what was a 5th down! (For those of you who don't keep up, you only get 4 downs in football. Should've been Colorado State's ball) 2. Tennessee Volunteers vs. Florida Gators: The Gators won the game when the ball BOUNCED OFF Jabar Gaffney's chest, and was ruled a touchdown. Gaffney didn't even have anything close to possession of the ball, so the ref uber who signaled it was a TD majorly fucked up. (And before any Florida Gators fan tries to step in and say I'm wrong, the ref who made the call watched the footage an hour or two after the game and admitted he screwed up. Unfortunately, it wasn't overturnable by then.)

Apparently, the $100 Million lawsuit Tyson had against Don King has been settled out of court. King agreed to pay $14 Million, but Tyson isn't getting a dime of it. Instead, its going to help pay off the $38 Million debt Tyson has. Now, for the bad news: Tyson plans to fight 7 times over the next 3 years to help pay off the rest of it.

Heard the song a few times, and I think it sucks. Her singing is meh, but the song is crapola. Wouldn't be a good song no matter who did it. She's not a bad singer. Pretty good for her age (but nowhere near as good as LeAnne Rimes was at that age), but an average singer, overall. *edit* I just want to add that I think Cartoon Network is leaving money on the table by not releasing an album of songs sung by Mojo Jojo!

Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, part III) Superman IV: The Quest For Peace (III wasn't all that great, either. But it was at least watchable) Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (which was mis-named, as it had NOTHING whatsoever to do with Michael Myers, and shouldn't be considered part of the franchise. Nonetheless, it SUCKED!) Escape from L.A. wasn't too great, either. The Halloween franchise should have ended with part IV. A Nightmare On Elm Street should have ended with III or IV. (Whichever one was `Dream Warriors') Rocky should never have gone past III. (IV was okay, but V was so bad it should never have been released) The Dirty Harry series should have ended with Sudden Impact. As much a fan I am of Clint Eastwood and of the Dirty Harry character, I thought The Dead Pool blew chunks. (Jim Carrey lip-synching to Guns N' Roses?!?! WTF were they thinking?!) And don't even get me started on the Friday the 13th movies!

Robocop I: Great movie. Robocop II: Good film, even though they toned things down some. Robocop III: Complete and utter trash. Waste of time and film.

*scratching* The level of suckiness is beyond supersonic The song's so artificial, its beyond bionic Just goes to show that Nelly's been smoking...*scratching*...been smoking...*scratching* been smoking too much of that chronic! *scratching* W0rd!

I predict the first single will be titled "Damn, I'm a Ho!"

A few people in my Everquest guild play Star Wars Galaxies. Some quit EQ to go play it, and some play both. They're adding spaceships and space combat to SWG. People will be able to have their own Millennium Falcon, X-Wing, or Tie-Fighter. (Or one of a few other ships. No Star Destroyers (or Death Stars), though) I need a better computer (this one is 3 years old - It'd be cheaper in the long run to replace than to upgrade), or I'd try City of Heroes.

1. If you mean Morrowind, I haven't played that game, or even had it on my computer, in a long time. 2. Zyrtryx is a Magician, which is a class that can summon magical objects (magical weapons, spell-enhancing jewelry, rings that can cast Levitation spells, etc) out of thin air and summon elementals (referred to as `pets') to fight for them. I have no idea what the fuck a Witchunter does, because it must be an add-on class for Morrowind, and I don't have many add-ons for it, except a few weapon mods. (Mainly the magical arrows and shuriken and a mod that lets you use two swords at once) 3. Zyrtryx is over 2 years old, so if anyone was copying anyone, it would be YOU copying ME.

RPGs: AD&D 2nd Edition, D&D 3rd Edition, Legend of the Five Rings, Shadowrun (all pen & paper RPGs). My favorite D&D setting is the Forgotten Realms, btw. Online, the only RPing I do is in wrestling e-feds. (Blacken Blue WILL beat you black and blue! ) MMORPGs: Everquest. I've got a lvl 52 High Elf Magician named Zyrtryx Conjureblade on the Rathe server. Incidentally, I tried Furcadia for a few days, but didn't like it.

*sigh* It won't be long now until "Frogger: The Musical" opens on Broadway. If they had to make a movie based on an arcade classic, then why couldn't they have done DigDug? Now, THAT would be a helluva action flick!!! :thumbs-up:

Good job by both of you. I have to go with Dochappy, though, for three reasons: 1. The cut of Kid Rock that awitts used is over-used\too well known. 2. awitts' graphic doesn't have enough motorcycles on it. 3. Jesse James>>>>>>>>>>>>>All. (I'm a big Monster Garage fan)

That sounds completely sick. I'm betting the scene gets edited out before distribution, though. Incidentally, if anyone wants to see Nicole Kidman get naked, go rent Billy Bathgate or Dead Calm.

I found out a couple of things: 1. "Deep Forest" is the English title. The Japanese title is Fukai Mori. No idea if that means "Deep Forest" in Japanese, as I don't speak (or read) the language. 2. Apparently, the .hack series that Cartoon Network is showing now, with Kite and Blackrose, is called .hack/Dusk, but its apparently either the same thing as Legend of the Twilight Bracelet, or connected to it. And at those prices, I don't think I'll be buying any of those cds. I know imports cost more, but.....jeez! :blink: (I am thinking of picking up a T.M. Revolution cd that has `Heart Of Sword' on it, at the moment) And if anyone reads this and knows, what exactly is Pocky? I know its a Japanese snack food that looks like sticks. Is it some kind of flavored pretzel rod, or something?

The first three movies I'm going to recommend are black and white. So if you're opposed to watching old black and white movies.... 1. You're missing out on some great stuff. 2. Fuck you. 3. Skip ahead to either Recommendation #4 or the next post (if there is one). 4. In the black and white era, movies has to rely on good stories, instead of focusing on special effects or action. (Sure, there were a lot of movies that were crap back then, but not as many as there are now) Recommendation #1: Arsenic and Old Lace. A great black and white comedy starring Cary Grant, Peter Lorre, and a few others. I've seen it at least ten times, and I still laugh my head off whenever I see it. Recommendation #2: Dark Passage. One of Humphrey Bogart's best movies. Its a murder mystery, with Bogart as an innocent man accused of murder who undergoes plastic surgery to change his apparance so he can avoid the cops while solving the murder. Lauren Bacall and Agnes Moorehead (Endora on Bewitched) are also in it. Recommendation #3: The Maltese Falcon. The quintessential detective movie, featuring Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade. Sure its based on a book (by Dashiell Hammett, iirc), but its a GREAT movie. Has Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Mary Astor in it. Recommendation #4: The Quiet Man. (Its in color) A John Wayne movie that isn't a western or a war movie! It does have some fighting (hand to hand) in it, but it actually has a plot to it. Takes place in Ireland. Based on a book or play, but I don't know who the author is. I have to second this. William Holden, Peter Graves, and the other actors in it all give great performances. The Great Escape and Stalag 17 are both must-see movies, but Stalag 17 is more re-watchable. Incidentally, the tv series Hogan's Heroes was based on Stalag 17, but Stalag 17 is a drama with some comedic bits, not a comedy with some dramatic bits. (The head guard is named Shultz. And one of the Nazis sounds EXACTLY like General whatshisname (Bourkhalter, I think (probably spelled wrong). Colonel Klink's boss), but its not the same actor)

Okay, I've got a few questions: 1. At a board I used to visit, someone (who doesn't post there anymore, so I can't ask them) mentioned something called Morning Musume. Is that a J-Pop group, a tv show, or what? 2. Is there an InuYasha soundtrack cd that has the various themes on it? I'm mainly interested in "Deep Forest" (I think that's the name. Its the first theme, by DO As Infinity) and "Dearest". ("My Will" is okay, but I don't like the theme they're using for the episodes that Cartoon Network is showing right now. Didn't catch the title or artist) 3. Who does the opening theme to Gundam Seed? (If the show has had several different themes, I just need to know who did the first one, I think) 4. Who does the opening theme to .hack/Sign? And the theme to the .hack series with Kite and Blackrose? (Assuming its not called .hack/Sign season 2 - I caught the first episode, but not the name of the show). 5. Is there any place in the U.S. you can recommend for ordering J-Pop? (I'm mainly interested in T.M. Revolution, Two-Mix, and Ayumi Hamasaki.) PayPal would be preferrable, but paying by credit card is no big deal.

From that list? Calvin & Hobbes. But I'd have to go with `Other', which wasn't an option: Hagar The Horrible or Wizard of Id.

Yes. That's the one I was referring to.

My suggestions: Gravyeyard Shift. There are two different movies by this name: One that is based (I think) on a Stephen King book, and one about a vampire who works as a taxi driver. (There's also a sequel to the one about the vampire) The one I'm referring to is the non-vampire taxi driver one. (The first one with the vampire cabbie is good, but the second one, pardon the pun, sucks) Near Dark. A fairly well done vampire movie, with Adrian Pasdar and Lance Henriksen in it. The Blob. The original 50's version with Steve McQueen OR the remake with Kevin Dillon. If you like old-school horror, from the black and white era, get the Mad Magician and the original versions of 13 Ghosts and The House On Haunted Hill. Haven't seen the remake of THOHH, but the remake of 13 Ghosts has very little to do with the original. Mad Magician is one of my favorite Vincent Price films.

Yes, but Prince changed his name to an unnamed symbol. Now, if he changed his name to Clyde or Henry, he would've been money. :thumbs-up:

I'm a major baseball buff, and Eight Men Out is one of my favorite movies - Not just favorite BASEBALL movies, but favorite MOVIES. Period. My thoughts about the scandal: 1. Buck Weaver got just about what he deserved, in my opinion. Knowing what's going on and not doing anything about it makes him almost as guilty as the players who were throwing the game. He should have received a punishment that was long enough to keep him out of baseball as a player (ie, being banned long enough so that he'd be too old to play), and even after that, no one in their right mind would have hired him as a coach, scout, or anything involving contact with players. 2. Shoeless Joe Jackson was hosed. Other than the confession he signed (which he would not have signed if he wasn't illiterate), there's no proof that he was in on the fix. If Pete Rose gets in the HoF before Shoeless Joe, I'll be mega-pissed, because there's definite proof of Rose's guilt. 3. One thing I didn't like about the movie is that it doesn't throw enough guilt on the owners, and on Charles Commiskey in particular. Commiskey was a stingy bastard who screwed his players at every opportunity. The movie mentions one incident, where Eddie Cicotte was supposed to get a bonus if he won 20 games, and Commiskey had him benched after 19, so he didn't have to pay him the bonus. Frankly, the way baseball was run in that era, with players essentially being slaves to their teams (no free agency, and players had to take what pay the owners offered), and with Commiskey being a total bastard, its easy to see why the players threw the Series. I just wish the Series had been against another team, instead of the Reds. Because that gave my favorite team a tainted championship. (Who knows...The Reds might have won it anyway, but its very unlikely.)

Damn. I was hoping it was a countdown to when their 15 minutes of fame would be over!

I vote for AJ. They both look pretty good, though.

Creed broke up?! Hallemuthafuckinlujah!!!! One of the most overrated groups ever. I only liked one song I ever heard by them, and I can't even remember the name of it. (I think it was the last song they did a video for, though - had angels with swords, or something like that, in it) MTV reporters are funny. ← Biggest Christian rock band of the past decade, maybe. But..... Stryper>Creed

If Slipknot does the theme, its gonna suck. They should get Def Leppard to do it. At least it would sound recognizable, then.
