QUOTE (T R U @ May 31, 2011 -> 01:01 PM) eh, I think the one main gross out part just gave off the feeling that it was the whole movie.. outside of that one part, which im sure you know what im talking about, I don't really recall major gross out humor.. I assume you are talking about Chow in the very beginning.

QUOTE (T R U @ May 31, 2011 -> 12:09 PM) Its hard to not comment when you are pretty much comparing Hangover II to Everybody Loves Raymond.. but, I can see theres going to be no point in this.. In the laughs it evoked from me, they were the same. You really DO seem to be taking this personally. If you thought it was funny, good for you and I'm glad you enjoyed it. But you seem to be saying that it's impossible for anyone to think it wasn't funny. And if someone has that opinion, they're either a snob or they went into the movie expecting too much or a different kind of movie. I went in expecting it to be a slightly-less-funny version of the original. To me, it turned out to be a shell of the original. My tastes aren't high-brow and I can laugh at a bunch of dick jokes. This movie just wasn't funny to me.

QUOTE (T R U @ May 31, 2011 -> 12:00 PM) If you went to a movie like the Hangover II with any intentions of seeing stuff outside of grotesque humor and almost a copy of the first movie, you're a moron. They didn't make a second one to create some new story, they did it because the first one made a ton of money and they could make even more this time. Some of you need to learn how to just enjoy a movie.. zomg, too many dick jokes.. if you say you didn't laugh at all the whole movie, you're a f***ing liar and you have some agenda to be some hardass wanna be critic around here. And I mean movie critic not the sweet, sweet poster. Take it sleazy. I'm not sure I mentioned it on here, I know I did on Facebook. I didn't laugh out loud once, and that's the truth. I got a lot of heh's out of it, but that's the same reaction I get from watching Everybody Loves Raymond. Like, OK it's comical, but it's not funny.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 31, 2011 -> 01:13 AM) This was basically the ONLY justification I could think of for not pinch hitting for Dunn in the Saturday game with 1 out and a man on third. Instead, we waited til he popped out to second and then pinch hit Quentin for McPherson, and forced Omar Vizquel to play 1st base for the first time in his 700 year career. This is professional f***ing baseball. He has got to realize how much he is absolutely killing us right now. If he can't handle being replaced by someone who actually can hit until he gets his s*** straightened out, then he is a weak-minded loser who needs to go cry to his wife. He is making $14 million dollars a year. Is that not enough to make him understand? Just as Ozzie said the other day that we are in no position to be giving away games right now, that means we have to do what this team needs to win. Now. Not in August when we are 24 games back because Adam Dunn is 0-174 against lefties and he finally figures it out. If he wants to work on his s*** in batting practice and with Greg Walker and gradually starts improving, then he should get inserted into the lineup more and more. But if he is going to be an absolute black hole, I'm sorry, we just can't afford the luxury of catering to his psyche right now. And as for Ortiz, I highly doubt the Red Sox were 7 games under .500 while allowing Ortiz the option to fight through his woes. The fact that Omar Vizquel has played first base and DH for the White Sox (both firsts in his 20+ year career) just shows how baseball retarded Ozzie is.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 31, 2011 -> 10:31 AM) And over 75% of the audience based on a much larger number of reviews also liked Transformers 2 which is a movie I can't fathom how anyone over the age of 12 could possibly like. Good point.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 31, 2011 -> 06:55 AM) 35% on Rotten Tomatoes. Lets face it. You enjoy s***ty movies. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:01 AM) I was this way with the first one. From all of the hype I thought it would be way funnier than it was. I laughed in some parts, but with the way that movie was played up, I expected legendary comedy, something like Bachelor Party. I got a good comedy. The second one will probably be Redbox material when it comes out. I even went into the second one with pretty low expectations. So I didn't find it unfunny because I was expecting so much more. It just wasn't very funny.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 31, 2011 -> 08:33 AM) I was B, but I did not fudge facts. She pulled the usual woman thing where she knew she was wrong and got all upset. We chose option D, bang and make up. But I'm still out my sunglasses. I like that it's option D

It's obviously A, but it's also obvious that you're B and you may have fudged the facts a bit

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ May 30, 2011 -> 06:38 PM) Amen on Kenny. reckless spending on Dunn and Rios. trading away Hudson and Gio. Getting nothing for Swisher or Javier Vazquez. farm system in alarming decline. time for a fresh voice in the management chair. Do it, Chairman. Do it. While I agree, I also disagree to an extent. If Kenny goes, Ozzie has to as well. At this moment, Williams does not have any power over Ozzie, and Kenny is a guy with a big ego and strong personality. What happens if we replace KW with Hahn? I don't know much about Hahn's personality, but I have to imagine that he has nowhere near the personality of Williams. Ozzie would run this organization from top to bottom if Williams is sent packing and he is retained. Hell, the very act of outlasting Williams would probably build up his massive ego more.

Lol the fuse is lit.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 30, 2011 -> 12:58 PM) If Marquez and Bruney are coming up, that means someone's getting traded (Jackson or Danks). That was my first thought.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ May 30, 2011 -> 10:44 AM) I think Marquez and Bruney are on their way to Chicago. Something's going on. What have you heard?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 30, 2011 -> 11:57 AM) That second sentence sounds like a greg quote. Well, he won a World Series.

QUOTE (Lillian @ May 30, 2011 -> 05:16 AM) Dunn has been very bad vs. left handed pitching for the last several years. That wasn't always the case, and in fact, he had a few years earlier in his career when he actually hit lefties really well. Scouts must have found a big hole in his swing vs southpaws, and the book on him is probably pretty well established by now. Dunn's value to this team is to provide a left handed presence in a very heavily weighted right handed line up. Versus left handed pitching, that function is not relevant, and he isn't good enough to be in there, when he serves no other purpose. What exactly is he supposed to be bringing to the game? Is it his blinding speed? Or perhaps his great defense, which if he had it, wouldn't be relevant as a DH. The point is he serves no purpose vs. left handed pitching. Any other player on the bench would be a better choice. Lillibridge is the best current option. He's very good vs. lefties, and when he plays his speed and defense add a lot to the team. He could play right, and let Carlos D.H. versus lefties. Or, he could play left, and let Pierre DH, although, many of us have our doubts about the merits of J. P. being on the field, in the first place. Brent has certainly earned the playing time, and he would be a far better option than Dunn vs lefties. And of course, an even more obvious solution here is to bring up Viciedo and platoon him with Dunn. In order to get the youngster more playing time, he could spell Pierre a couple of games a week vs. right handers, and maybe even give Carlos a day a week off in RF. Why is none of this apparent to management? In fact, why wan't this the plan from the beginning? As DFA'ing Peña is a pride thing for KW, benching Pierre in favor of Viciedo is a pride thing for Ozzie. He is firm in his belief that a leadoff hitter must be a speedy, lefty batter with little power. To take PA's away from Pierre in order to get Viciedo more playing time would be against his entire baseball philosophy. So no matter how obvious it may be to anyone else on Earth that Viciedo needs to be in this lineup taking away at-bats from Pierre, it won't be done on Ozzie's watch. KW could bring him up, but Ozzie would just force him to ride the bench 5 days a week. I'm confident that the conversation has actually happened at some point, but Ozzie has the upper hand since he can just say "I won't play him" and KW cannot make him play him because he has no power to fire Ozzie because of Reinsdorf. So the great and powerful Oz has spoken.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 30, 2011 -> 02:09 AM) To be honest, no one would have a problem with his mouth if we didn't believe that he's a terrible in game manager. The fact that he's so bad in that regard does make it frustrating however when he wont shut up though. And the fact that he absolutely cannot take the least bit of criticism. If you feel that Ozzie made an incorrect move, you are an idiot who has never played the game and Ozzie is above being second guessed.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 30, 2011 -> 10:34 AM) I think we have some talent pitchingwise in the minors, but they aren't ready. The situation with Gray, who was not a Sox draft, was very troubling. Harrel went four innings and gave up four runs Sunday and Jeff Gray went 4 inning with Seattle and gave up 1 run. He left here with an EA of 2.70. Pena for the most part was ineffective. So we keep Pena and let Gray go? Humber is also not a Sox farm hand, but has seemingly been able to turn things around this year. I know it takes some time to develop and we will see whether Phil can keep it up. I hgope so as he has looked very impressive so far, We have to get other teams drafts and develop them instead of developing our own players. There is something not right about that. I hope we are getting the minor league system changed around. But, once again I know it takes time Gray was let go because the Sox traded a guy who, at the time, was considered a good prospect for Peña. It seems to be a pride thing for KW. We'll keep getting the guy shoved down our throats (ew) because of it. The same thing applies to Tyler Flowers. Since he was the centerpiece of the Vazquez trade, they're going to keep counting on him as a big part of the team's future even though he seems to not be very good.

I don't get why people don't get it. The movie simply wasn't that funny. I'm not a movie snob, especially when it comes to comedies, but this movie just didn't make me laugh out loud once. There were a few snickers here and there (like with the monkey smoking in slow motion and Stu screaming "f*** the po-lice"), but nothing that really had me laughing. I went with two other guys and they never laughed out loud either. It was enjoyable to see once, but it just wasn't very good. If you hadn't seen the first one, the second may have had a few laugh out loud scenes where they basically just reenacted parts of the first movie, but it's hard to laugh at Mr. Chow jumping out of the ice machine and beating everyone up when you could see it coming a mile away.

I hate the pissing match that always arises when people starting arguing over who deserves to be fired more between KW and Ozzie. The results are there for anyone to see, and neither one of them should be safe. I don't care who goes first. The fact is that one of them needs to go very soon.

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 29, 2011 -> 04:08 PM) I've wanted Ozzie gone since last year when he said that if you disagree with the way he manages, go be a fan of a different team, or something along those lines. I can't think of any manager who has gotten away with more shot than Ozzie. No kidding. The amount of s*** he says/gets away with isn't even comparable to other people in the sport. It's almost embarrassing.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 29, 2011 -> 04:02 PM) But what if none of those happen? Then what? The world will have come to an end in that scenario, so it wouldn't matter.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 29, 2011 -> 03:30 PM) Excellent point. It may also remain the same. So it will either get better, stay the same, or get worse. I've added so much to this discussion.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ May 29, 2011 -> 03:53 PM) It pains me to watch the man perform any of the functions of living person, let alone a baseball player. We're stuck with him, and I accept that (this acceptance includes his presence in AB's where a PH would be warranted). However, as J4L suggested, he's just now entering into fun bad -- where you openly cheer to see how far he can fall. Why not make it 0-season against lefties? Wouldn't this be a great achievement to watch? He's made it more than a third of the way through the season without recording a single hit against a lefty. It's a legitimate possibility.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 29, 2011 -> 03:36 PM) Well Guillen is back to insulting the fans. Words can't describe my hatred for Ozzie Guillen.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 29, 2011 -> 03:28 PM) When Ozzie can take the field and hit, run, catch and pitch and fails to do those things then I will support him being fired With your criteria, no manager would ever be fired.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 29, 2011 -> 02:29 PM) A better solution would be to fire our clearly incompetent hitting coach and see if we can salvage Beckham. I cannot believe this move hasn't been made yet. I mean, with all of the offensive struggles this team has had in the last six years, how has nobody gotten fired? How has this person who, at best, makes almost no difference for better or worse not gotten fired just to move in another direction? There is no accountability. That's how.
