QUOTE (kev211 @ Oct 3, 2009 -> 03:00 AM) My question is, how does Flash Forward get more then one season out of this plot? I've been watching and it's been good so far. You're not alone in this thought. If it makes season 2, maybe new flashes happen at the same time every year. Who knows.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 01:24 PM) How ridiculously over the top is this 2012 preview? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVSMWxb8KUI Yet, somehow I can't resist the urge to watch it. I enjoyed Independance Day for what it was. I hated Godzilla and despised The Day After Tomorrow. I will not be seeing this.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 01:44 PM) LOL I thought that was hilarious. And hey, if that kind of a blackout really did happen, that is definitely a plausible scenario It just didn't fit in with the mood and the tone of the show, I thought. I'm gonna like the storyline now with the guy that knows the day he is going to be murdered.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 07:36 AM) Flashforward also piqued my interest much more than the premiere episode. I like the show, but some of the cheesy stuff is irritating. Like the guy giving mouth to mouth to the guy who blacked out and his head was in the urinal. The endings are good how they make you pisse you have to wait a week.

Who will get the 2016 Games?
QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 01:36 PM) I feel like the historical nature of South America getting its first Olympics is too much for Chicago to overcome. This is how I feel as well. And I don't even really know if I want Chicago to get it. There are so many thing to spend money on but the money brought in in 7 years would be huge.

Rotten Tomatoes: Worst of the Worst
QUOTE (3E8 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 08:29 PM) I Heart Huckabees was the worst movie I've ever seen, I'm surprised it got favorable reviews. Everytime I hear about this movie, I flashback to Stewie getting sucked into the TV on Family Guy screaming "This sucks worse than I Heart Huckabees!!"

Catch-All Anything Thread
My freshmen year in high school, I woke up sick but my parents never let me stay home back then unless I was puking. Before first period, I went to the nurse and she let me go lay down in one of the rooms. My dad worked at the high school so I got away with a lot. Usually they check on students after 20 minutes or so but the nurse never checked on me and I slept the whole school day. I woke up to my dad checking on me and was shocked when he told me school just ended. I had baseball practice and I toughed that out. It was actually picture day and I am in the back, looking like death. That was an awesome day.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 04:51 PM) It's a lot more complicated than that, esp. with the NFL. There is big money in those exclusive or nearly exclusive deals. I know all about the deals. Comcast cut a deal at the last second a few years ago after DirectTV seemingly had a deal for the exclusive rights. AT&T is a big company. I feel they will pay and get it done.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 04:37 PM) I wish they'd get some of the pay-per-view sports, like MLB, Center Ice, etc. though. Agreed. I think they will have MLB next season. Lots of customers pressuring.

9/30 Sox vs Cleveland 3:05 pm CSN - Gm 1
QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Sep 29, 2009 -> 04:05 PM) So what I'm getting is that you'd rather they drug him out to the street and shot him rather than let him spell Konerko in a meaningless game? Meaningless game? The Vegas line on Sox wins is 78 and I have the over. Need 3 more wins. This isn't meaningless.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 03:27 PM) Im actually looking forward to an Elm St reboot. Englund ran his course with the character, and the story got away from suspense/horror and ran straight into camp-horror and never really got back. Its an origin story, but I am willing to give it a shot before I dismiss it True. Freddy became a comedian rather than someone scary until New Nightmare. The only ones worth a damn are the first one and New Nightmare.

FINALLY saw The Hangover. Holy crap, that movie ruled. It's no Citizen Kane, see what I did there?, but was fun and definitely will be re-watchable.

Rotten Tomatoes: Worst of the Worst
QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 02:46 PM) I just went through the entire list more carefully and noted that I haven't seen any of the 100. I've only seen 2. "Soul Survivors", which I didn't think was all that bad but wouldn't watch it again, and "Christmas With the Kranks" because I see every Christmas movie that comes out. Kranks was awful.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 07:23 AM) I want to cancel my Directv and get Verizon FIOS but I don't feel like going through the whole charade of them trying to get me to stay. I need to make up a lie, like I got fired or something. Tell them you are moving out of state to Arizona and when they say they can transfer your stuff out there, tell them you are going to COX Cable cause it fits your budget. That what my parents did when they moved out there so I used it to switch to AT&T.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 07:55 AM) I wanted to switch to Uverse when I moved, but it isnt available in my new town. I asked a ATT worker who was working on telephone wires near my house why it wasnt available, and he told me that I lived too close to their main office. I still have no idea what the hell that means They are slowly expanding. They got to my area a month after we inquired and were told it wasn't there yet. If they get the MLB stuff next year, it will be the best option out there IMO

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 29, 2009 -> 11:34 PM) 9 out of every 10 Hollywood horror films anymore are cr@ppy retreads of somebody else's past successes. How long are these filmmakers going to get away with such an absolute lack of creativity? Isn't Michael Bay behind all of them except Halloween? That should tell you something.
