  1. has anyone heard about this movie? I saw some previews of it and it looks funny to me. Is anyone lookng forward to seeing this? Here's a preview i found at rotten tomatoes:

    HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE

    You're going to think I'm insane, or kidding, but honest-to-God this is one of the year's best films; possibly the best movie comedy about an all-nighter ever made (sorry Bob!). It's from Danny Leiner, the director of DUDE, WHERE'S MY CAR?, and plays like an R-rated second draft of that film, which, I remind readers, went from concept to finished product in under 7 months.

    Harold (John Cho, of the second and third AMERICAN PIE movies) and Kumar (Kal Penn, MALIBU'S MOST WANTED) are indeed stoners looking to feed their drug-induced hunger pangs, but they're no dummies. Harold is a lower-tier employee in some kind of fancy office job, and Kumar is the son of a doctor who deliberately screws up med-school interviews to piss off dad. As the movie begins, Harold's obnoxious bosses conspire to make him do all their work for the next day's meeting, but Kumar calls and insists the two of them get stoned first. They do, and see a commercial for White Castle. Now all they have to do is get there.

    Not as easy as it looks. En route, they will run into an escaped cheetah, a boil-encrusted redneck who wants the two stoners to fuck his beautiful wife, Neil Patrick Harris (amusingly playing himself, as a dangerously horny junkie), an escaped cheetah (did I say that already? Dude, man, I forgot) more than one instance of gay panic (the funniest courtesy of VAN WILDER himself, Ryan Reynolds), goofy racist police, and much, much more. I never really dug the movie AFTER HOURS as much as other critics did, but I got why it was supposed to be appealing. This movie does it right, for me at least. Reminds me ever-so-slightly of how much I enjoyed ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING as a kid (haven't revisited that one lately to see if it holds up or not).

    It's also a bit like BRINGING UP BABY, only with two guys in both lead roles. I wouldn't say there's gay tension between them (nothing so blatant as Ashton and Seann making out in DUDE), but they do bicker like a married couple. And Harold's love interest (Paula Garces) is very peripheral, more an object than a person. Kumar's true love is weed -- there's a very funny sequence that takes this notion literally and to the extreme.

    Oh yeah, there are hooters. And profanity. And drugs. And really weird trippy shit that hits you from out of nowhere. This is an R movie for sure, not a phony one like SOUL PLANE where the rating's only R because people say "fuck" a lot.

    Many of the jokes are obvious, but a lot are not at all so. Watch for the scene in which Kumar decides to urinate on a bush, and then must fight for his urination turf with a crazed stranger who favors that same bush. It doesn't play out quite like you'd think.

    According to imdb, this is the first movie credit for the screenwriting team of Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg. Someone else hire these mofos now.

    and for good measure....heres the poster.

  4. I saw it yesterday and it really did kick a ton of ass. I loved the action scenes, they looked much much better than the first, and Doc Oc was a much cooler enemy compared to the Goblin.

    I cant wait for the next one, but i dunno if Harry can be evil enough on his own, i think maybe they should have some minor enemy charecter from one of the comics (dunno much about comics so i cant say) as like a partner, maybe the lizard guy like someone said before.

  5. Ok, heres whats going on. I found this short film online a while ago and thought it was the funniest thing ever. I watched it a bunch of times, and now when i went to the site to see it again, its gone. So i looked everywhere and i cant find it...now im asking you guys.

    The film was called Rejected and it was a cartoon about a bunch of rejected comic strips that were sent to the Family Learning Channel. Does anyone have any idea what im talking about and if you do, do you know where i can find it?

  6. When i was younger (8 or 9) i was into Rap, and nothing else. I hated rock with a passion for some reason. The main people i liked were Jay Z and 2Pac. I then went into a Rock stage, listening to Nirvana, Metallica, Staind, Rob Zombie and stuff of that sort. Now I regained my love of Rap, and still love Rock music too. I mainly like Biggie, 2Pac, Jay-Z, Canibus, Immortal Technique, Chevelle, Reveille, Flaw, Staind, Sevendust and some other stuff i cant think of at the moment.

    So to make this easier....

    - 8 or 9 - Jay Z and 2Pac

    -10-15 - Nirvana, Metallica, Staind, Rob Zombie

    - 16- present - Biggie, 2Pac, Jay-Z, Canibus, Immortal Technique, Chevelle, Reveille, Flaw, Staind, Sevendust

  7. The 'Tuck Rule' 2001. Oakland would have gone to the Super Bowl, and probably won, since they were better then New England.

    He tucked the ball dammit!! :shifty: ok maybe not, but as a pats fan, i dont really mind the screwjob.

    what exactly happened to piss all the england fans off?
