Definetely. All North America has is stupid stuff like "go team go" and that goodbye song, soccer/football has truly fantastic and witty stuff. ←

CSAMH, the more time I spend on this board, the more I realize you and I have far too much in common. We should either be best of friends, or immoral enemies. I'm happy with either. I do remember MASK very well, but what I remember most about their toys was the Boulder Mountain Base set... which made me howl because after all the cool mask effects... if push came to shove, MASK could always roll a fucking boulder at Venom! That toy always struck me as a money grab. Now, I don't recall who made MASK, but in retrospect, I'm thinking it was done in response (by a rival company) to the popularity of G.I. Joe. Think about it. COBRA vs. VENOM. Elite Masked Transforming vehicles vs. Military Surplus from the end of the Cold War... Just something to think about... But yes, MASK rocked... But nothing compares to my all time favourite cartoon... StarBlazers!

Mainly for Boulder... and likely not for CSAMH... but Aisha Tyler can currently be seen being sexy and whip-smart on CSI. (The original series, the only one worth watching.) Damn that woman makes DNA testing look goooooooooooooood!

I do hope everyone realizes that beauty eventually becomes a matter of personal taste. Look at CSAMH's choices... apparently he'd like to be stranded on a desert island with them, content in the knowledge that 1 coconut would feed all 5 for a fortnight. I wouldn't choose the same, but then, that's as it should be. One thing about ROC's statements is he feels 'Euro actresses might not behave the same way.' Which may or may not be true, I think it might be how the media covers it. North America and the UK have such an overwhelming mass of entertainment media, that certain Euro stars likely don't have to deal with, or at least not deal with on the same level. But it is interesting that many starlets want to 'make' it in the US. Penelope Cruz for example, made far more watchable movies while in Spain than she's done since 'going Hollywood' but I bet she's made stacks more cash since crossing the Atlantic. Just something to mull over between picture posts.

Is this supposed to be the 50 most beautiful women of the moment or something? I'm not going to recap all the listed ones, although I will say I never have, and never will, see what people find 'hot' about Carmen Electra. Seriously though, people should look to the past a bit more and some of the amazing stars of yesteryear. Marlene Deitrich (who might as well be an early prototype of Angelina Jolie,) Lauren Bacall (quite likely the most alluring woman ever,) or even Marilyn Monroe (I recommend 'Some like it Hot' - quite possibly the top comedy ever.) Remember "Nobody's perfect."

For good bad names... look no further than... Corky and the Juice Pigs

The best tape is "Straight Outta Compton" came out in 89 or so. Just full of brilliant (at the time) unique gansta rap. Quite possibly the pinnacle of gansta rap. Easy E's solo album "Easy does it?" is much like the NWA stuff, but with a lot more humour thrown in. 100 Miles and runnin' is a good song... but the album is poor. NWA really went down hill once Ice Cube left. One of Ice Cube's best solo songs is "Jacking for Beats" as is "Dead Homiez" or Homies. What ever happened to MC Ren... come back Ren!

Picked up and read the first two my friend. The books themselves arn't horrible, it just that the whole Harry Potter thing has gotten out of control and I want it to stop as soon as possible. I had a friend who is going to get the lightning bolt scar tatooed on his forehead. Sad, really.

I tried the demo, but got rid of it after one day. All my scripts were 4*s, and I could never seem to get them to a 5* script. 5*s in certain categories, but never an overall 5* script. Then I dumped the whole thing because it seemed to be overheated my computer all the damn time. I mean, spiking my CPU by nearly 20 degrees. It seemed like a decent game, and other than losing money all the time (mainly to studio rental costs) I don't know if I enjoyed it or not. Oh well, I won awards, but lost money. I feel like an auteur!

To finalize the Fast Forward debate from the Amazing Race. There are only 2 and each team can only use one. Luckily this means Corpus and Christie squandered their FF option. It's down to five teams, and I actively loathe 3 of them. Corpus and Christie - both arrogant fools who deserve to lose and lose badly. I loved his line 'if this egg was cooked more I could blast right through it.' So he cooked it more... and still struggled. The twins are actually too dumb to live and that Blonde Mop and his thick headed girlfriend give models a bad name. I've been to West Africa, so I found it hilarious that those two teams didn't realize they were being utterly ripped off on that bus. Of course, that's the way those places work, you can pay more to go now, or you can wait until the bus fills up. As I wasn't in a race of any sort, I waited. The village they went to must have been popular as three buses left in just a few minutes. I truly hope Chip and Kim win, they're the only team that seems to genuinely enjoy the experience and appreciate what they have. Here's my example, when they delivered the furniture, he took time to meet and greet the family. Sat down, had a chat, enjoyed some watermelon, when the locals took them to get pillows he just laughed it off... while Corpus and Christie raced on, ignoring the people they delivered the chairs to. Chip and Kim's biggest advantage is their trust in each other and in humanity. None of the other teams have that. I didn't hate Mierna the Midget, only Charla. Charla did nothing, other than get the team on the show in the first place. You know the producers saw their application and thought 'a midget and a girl who lusts after Phil? ON THE SHOW!' Mierna tried hard, sure she was a sneaky lil oompa loompa, but at least she didn't fear doing the work. Charla just yelled. Like making Mierna eat the monster scrambled egg. Way to pick on the midget cousin! Go Chip n' Kim. Thumbs in the middle for the Bowling Moms. Big raspberry of distain for the other three teams.

Fair enough reason I suppose. Of course, I guess I don't fit most the regular profile as I only watch the Amazing Race. I just recall when the first BB was up against the first Survivor and for me it was no contest, people trying to run a clock using a potato as a battery or people trying to build a shelter using a machete and nothing else while rats and snakes and bugs tormented them. Oh right, I picked Survivor. As for the Amazing Race. I think Corpus and Christie are idiots. They have this HUGE Lance Armstrong-like lead but anyone who's watched the Amazing Race knows that the producers don't want a run-away winner, so you have to know that this team will get roped back in and if the preview is anything to go on, it'll happen sooner rather than later. And the twist on the Bowling Moms is a good one. I'd have rathered the twins were penniless in Egypt, but oh well. Still love the show, just not the contestants. Chip and Kim by default!

I'm confused, why have a joint Amazing Race and Big Brother thread? I ask because I have *Loathed* BB from the first one and find the Amazing Race to be one of the few reality shows worth watching. Is there a reason there can't be two separate threads? I just find it annoying to sift through all the chaff that is BB to find the wheat of the Amazing Race. They are such different shows. One, stick people in a closed environment and watch what happens. The other, take non-travellers and make them go around the world at least once. As for the competitors in the Amazing Race... I don't hate the midget, but her cousin needs to be fed to sharks. And am I the only one who sees that team from Corpus Christie, Texas and as the girl is called Christie just dubbed the guy Corpus. Because those two need to be left stranded in an airport! None of the teams truly have my support, but by default it's Chip and Kim or the Bowling Moms.
