Firefly

A great show, supported by one of the most underated casts in television history. This show had it all, a great plot, superb characters, and the best camera work I have ever seen. This show could have gone very far if it wasn't for Fox.

Futurama

yet another Fox cancelation which carries a cult following, and soon to be relesed movies. Futurama was the only good cartoon Fox had until Family Guy came along, and I am including The Simpsons in that list. The Simpsons is a good show, but it has seemed so dragged on since 1997.

Millennium

Again by Fox...see a pattern here? Chris Carter hit gold when he came up with the character Frank Black. This show out did X-Files in every way, and I'm one of the biggest Files fans that I know.

Star Trek Voyager

Very underated for a Star Trek series. this one, pulled by UPN after 7 seasons, could have gone on for another 3-4 years before the storyline became stale. The rushed series fanally was GREAT, but it could have ended in so many other ways.

Pinky and The Brain

God in a cartoon...until mindy

I am accually suprised a lot of people have been saying Firefly, and I bet that at least half of them hadn't heard of the show until Serenity came out, or until they saw the DVD. I still remember it going head to head with shows like ER, and then bannished to Saturday Nights...Fox never gave it a chance.

God I wish a former friend didnt steal that DVD set...hard to find, and a little hard to get to...

After reading this whole thread, I have several things to say.

First off...if you want to know anything about black metal in Norway, go get a copy of Lords of Chaos. It has all the police reports, the stories, the testimonies...all that shit. Even has a picture of Dead after he shot himself...has Varg's testimony of his murder of Euronymous...has the testimony of the guy from Absurd from his murder of his best friend...all of it.

Second...Someone asked about a good screaming metal chick...try Karen Crisis (from the band Crisis) or the chick from Opera IX. NOTE: "That Arch Enemy chick" has a name. It's Angela Gossow. Arch Enemy fired their original, male vocalist in favor of her because she growls better naturally than he did with a synth. You don't believe me, check out some of Arch Enemy's earlier shit.

Third...Dani Filth is not a black metal vocalist, and Cradle hasn't been fucking black metal since Cruelty and the Beast back in the mid-90's. Cradle are a theatrical goth metal band that borders on laughable. They have put out 2 worthwhile albums since From the Cradle to Enslave, which are Damnation and a Day and Bitter Suites to Succubi (and that one is questionable). I know Nikolas Barker, and even he thinks Dani is all show and no substance.

If you want to talk to a prominent figure in Norse Black Metal, stay out of England. Go straight to the source and talk to either Galder, Erkkekjetter Silenoz, or Ihsahn. THEY are the forefront of black metal, and for a reason. You can't mention Norway without Old Man's Child, Dimmu Borgir, or Emperor coming into the conversation. I know Galder of Old Man's Child and Shagrath, Silenoz, and Vortex of Dimmu - they are easy to talk to and would easily talk about the "scene" to anyone who asks.

BLACK METAL 101 - go buy these albums:

-"Black Metal" by Venom. This should be obvious

-"Into the Unknown" by Mercyful Fate

-"Born of the Flickering" by Old Man's Child. If you have a problem finding it, get "The Pagan Prosperity" instead.

-"Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropy" by Dimmu Borgir

-"Wolf's Lair Abyss" by Mayhem. If you are lucky. Chances are you won't find it, so get "Mysteriis Dom Sathanas"

-"The Black Opera: Symhoniae Mysteriorum in Laudem Tenebrarum" by Opera IX

-"Murder Music" by Macabre

-"Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas" by Origin

That's all for now

Thank you...and my friends a dumbass...saying its a horror

Ok, heres the deal. I'm looking for a horror flick from the 80s or 90s with a kid with red hair who wore overalls. It is not childs play. I know that one for a fact. In this movie, the kid is helping a little girl with a lemonaid stand, and she runs out, so the boy fills the pitcher with piss. I have a bet with a friend on this movie, so any help would be appreciated.

thanks

I just looked that up and I saw that its the other way around...tv to psp...thanks though.

Is there any way to hook the PSP up to the PS2 to watch the PSP movies on the PS2?

The call went the way the call went, theres no reason for anyone to bitch about it now.

But I'm a Broncos fan!

Brady threw 2 picks, and the Pats lost 3 fumbles, and missed a feild goal. They deserved to lose, and proved that Denver is the better team.

Lynch's pick was amazing!

When Pitt beats Indy tomorrow, and Da Bears win in a shootout, Denver Bears Super Bowl!

and naiwf, what now? Denver wins a playoff game, and advance to the AFC Championship game. New England is down and out, making the Broncos the only team with a Super Bowl win since 1986 (20 years) left in the playoffs. Show some respect!

They narrowly won a home playoff game against a team which was banged up all season long. Should I throw them a parade? I guarantee you if the two borderline calls went against your team and you lost the game you wouldn't be using that "call went the way it went" bullshit. Your team won, and at the end of the day that's all that matters, but they didn't earn my respect with that performance. Carolina completely stomping the Giants, or Seattle winning with basically nothing from Alexander have been the only two games this season where a team showed serious playoff mettle. If Pissburgh wins tomorrow, barring Peyton's knee getting torn to pieces ala Palmer, that'll be # 3.

EDIT: Clawson, if the refs make the right call and tag Lelie with offensive PI, the ball moves back another 15 yards to the Denver 45. There's no guarantee they gets points off of that drive there. A 54 yard/7 point swing is a MAJOR turning point in any game, especially one that was a 3-0 defensive struggle at the time.

No one respects Denver because they haven't won a playoff game since Elway left.

Ok, i need to get something off my chest.

I'm sick and tired of people underrating the Broncos every year, even after they win back to back Super Bowls, and make the playoffs almost every year after that.

Red Devil-Taker316 says John Elway was over-rated, but name another quarterback who made it to 5 super bowls (3 in the 4 years before the Bills 4 year losing streak). and he went to 3 without Davis, Sharpe and McCaffery.

Name the 2 teams who have been in the most Super Bowls:

If you said Dallas and San Fransisco, close.

Dallas - 8 Super Bowls

San Fran: 5 Super Bowls

DENVER: 6 Super Bowls

I dont think Jake Plummer has what it takes to be a Super Bowl Champion, and I think Shanahan is washed up, but they both proved something this year, and they may just suprise you in the playoffs.

Name the Broncos Play makers this year for Plummer...the O-Line and Rod Smith...thats it...some say Anderson, some say Bell, but they'd be nothing without the line...same goes for Terrell Davis and Clinton Portis (proven in Washington).

The Broncos may have lost 4 of their 6 super bowls, but they still made it to more than 30 other teams (Dallas is the only exception)

Only 8 teams have ever won 2 super bowls in a row.

Before this years Colts, the Broncos were the last team to go 13-0 in a season.

Elway is the only QB in NFL History to play every snap in 5 Super Bowls

Denver is the most under-rated team in all of sports (excluding The Colorado Rockies and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays) Only one 'expert' ever gives Denver any credit. Is it Shannon Sharp or Tom Jackson (2 former Broncos)? NO! Its Chris Collensworth. Even during the 99 unbeaten streak, nobody thought Denver was anything special.

Now, I'm gonna stop here before I start to rant :-P

Denver Broncos

John Elway (arguably one of the top 3 Quarterbacks of all time)

Ed McCaffery (Most under rated WR in Denver History)

Gary Zemmerman (The Broncos are a little weak at the tackle position)

'West Wing' Actor John Spencer Dies at 58

Friday December 16 6:29 PM ET

John Spencer, who played a dedicated politico on "The West Wing" who survived a serious illness to run for vice president, died of a heart attack Friday, his publicist said. Spencer, 58, died at a Los Angeles hospital, said publicist Ron Hofmann. He would have been 59 next week.

Spencer played Leo McGarry, the chief of staff to President Jeb Bartlet (Martin Sheen) through the first few seasons of the NBC series. In a sad parallel to life, his character suffered a heart attack that forced him to give up his White House job.

The character recovered and was picked as a running mate for Democratic presidential contender Matt Santos, played by Jimmy Smits; the campaign has been a central theme this season for the drama.

Spencer, who also starred on "L.A. Law" as attorney Tommy Mullaney, received an Emmy Award for his performance on "The West Wing" in 2002 and was nominated four other times for the drama.

The actor mirrored his character in several ways: both were recovering alcoholics and both, Spencer once said, were driven.

"Like Leo, I've always been a workaholic, too," he told The Associated Press in a 2000 interview. "Through good times and bad, acting has been my escape, my joy, my nourishment. The drug for me, even better than alcohol, was acting."

Spencer grew up in Paterson, N.J., the son of blue-collar parents. With his enrollment at the Professional Children's School in Manhattan, he was sharing classes with the likes of Liza Minnelli and budding violinist Pinchas Zukerman.

As a teenager, Spencer landed a recurring role on "The Patty Duke Show" as the boyfriend of English twin Cathy. Stage and film work followed. Then his big break: playing Harrison Ford's detective sidekick in the 1990 courtroom thriller "Presumed Innocent." That role led to his hiring for the final four years of "L.A. Law."

Service and funeral arrangements were pending, Hofmann said.

I have episodes 0-38, and all of the new season so far, but I'm missing 39-57...can anyone help me on this?

Sorry for it being so long between posts. I can only get online every now and then. This diary is not dead as you can see, and I have a few months written out. I'll post a few days here and there. If this dies, I'll let everyone know. Thanks for reading, and thanks for your concern.

Event: Talent meeting

Ok, before we bring in some of our talent, lets discuss the free agents.

Last night, dad signed up Dallas Page, Marcus Bagwell, Ron Killings and The Sandman. We know what direction he’s going to…

Yea, he’s signing all the assholes who can’t carry a match…

Paul, if you look at his roster, what he is using is Star Power. I mean, Page is still well known, and his popularity will soar when his movie comes out. The Sandman led the ECW Revolution by tossing away the NWA Belt. He has The Undertaker, the most feared name in wrestling. The Rock, the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. Brock…

I get ya. But we have the man, the myth, the legend…Triple H!

Paul, there’s something that you have to understand…You’re an owner now! You can’t go along holding the SmackDown Title for a year. We need to develop the talent that we have right now. Look at Batista, Randy Orton, John Cena…they all were nobodies, but now their household names thanks to the WWE…

What the hell are you saying Shane? I can’t hold the SmackDown Title?

Yea Shane…that’s a little unreasonable…

Would you two shut up for a second! Shane never said he can’t hold it. He said he can’t keep it for a long period of time. I agree with that.

That’s total Bullshit! Steph!

Paul’s right…

Ok, we’ll have a vote, and since there’s four of us here, in case of a tie, we ask the roster…majority rules…

All right…All for Shane’s gay plan…

Shane and I raise our hands

All against?

Steph and Paul raise

2-2...how unexpected.

So it’s up to the talent.

Let’s see what they have to say…

Aren’t we a bit off subject here? We’re supposed to be talking about what talent we talked to last night. We’ll get to this all in good time…

Right…ok, I called Psychosis and he agreed to come in for a dark match at tomorrows House Show…I also talked to Terry Funk, Sabu, and Lex Luger, but none were interested…

I thought we agreed yesterday that we would only go after true talent! What the hell Steph? Luger?

Lets calm down now Shane…he said no, so it doesn’t matter…what about you Paul?

I got Justin Credible to come in for tomorrows House Show. I was turned down by AJ Styles and Chris Daniels…They think their too good for us…Oh, and I wouldn’t try to contact them for awhile after the little talk we had.

What did you do?

Nothing to get your panties up in a bundle over. I basically said that I could personally end their careers if they didn’t join, and they took offence to it…

Shane was about to say something, but I cut him off

Shane, don’t worry about it. We need talent that we can build ourselves, not names. What did you find out?

I talked to Steve Blackman, but he said no because of his training center.

Anyone else?

No, that’s it…

That’s it?!? What the hell Shane? What the hell kind of recruiting is that?

I’m not a fucking recruiter Paul, I’m a writer! I write what happens on our shows, and I can write you out right now if I wanted to…

Shane, Steph and Paul argued for a few more minutes when Sophie, my assistant, came in and whispered something in my ear. I whispered back, and handed her a sheet of paper, and she left. The fabulous threesome kept on yelling, when I got a headache…Rubbing my temples I yelled…

Shut the fuck up! All of you! Your bickering is pissing me off. To make this work, we have to work as a team. There is no I in team…I know how fucking gay that is, so don’t say a fucking word! How can we have these progress meetings if we don’t make any progress in the meetings!

Sorry man…I guess I just let myself get carried away…

Ok…I picked up Frankie Kazarian, Austin Aries, and Alex Shelley myself. They all agreed to work Dark Matches and House Shows, and stay in Atlanta Traxx, our Development League until they improve on WWE Style skills. I’m also talking to another guy right now, and another Stable. The Stable will be here tomorrow night, but the single wrestler might not be around until a month or two from now…

Who are these mystery people?

It wouldn’t be a fucking mystery if I told you now would it?

So we all tell you who we sign, but you wont tell us shit? What the fuck Mat?

They want it this way, not me. You will find out three of them tomorrow, so stop your fucking bitching Paul!

Right at that moment, Sophie walked in with the sheet of paper that I gave her. She handed it to me, and walked out.

What’s that?

Sophie polled the wrestlers for us on our little debacle…out of the 54 workers on our Main Roster as of this meeting…38 agreed with Shane that you should not hold the SmackDown Title for an extended period of time…

I flip through the pages…

In fact, 23 said you shouldn’t hold it at all, 5 said you should be forced into retirement, and 1 said you should rot in hell…

Who the hell said that!!!

Paul tried to grab the papers from me, but I pulled them away.

This paper is for my eyes only, but the tally sheet you can see. If there’s nothing else, I’ll see you at the House Show tomorrow night.

What about the talent meeting?

Your arguing gave me a fucking headache. I’ve had enough of this for one day, so hold it without me. Fair?

Fine by me.

Good.

thank you
