Milkman delivers

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 20, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) I really enjoyed Adventureland. It had more depth than I expected. Kristen Stewart's character was done very well, too. Not that I care for her as an actress, but how they wrote her was true to life. In the movie, she came on strong to Eisenberg in the beginning, then quickly backed off. When he began seeing Lisa P suddenly she had interest again (ie, "I don't want to lose you"); but her interest wasn't genuine. This was evidenced by her continuing to see Reynolds character. It's a perfect comparison to real life and how some, not all, girls are pulled between emotions. And yes, I was duped by the commercials to believe it was a comedy. With Mottola as writer I almost expected blatant 80's references. You know, the kind written by someone trying too hard to convince us of the time period. For example: "Whoa man, this is the 1980's, look at all the crazy things going on with our hair! This fashion and music will live on forever!" This wasn't an issue. Hm, I had a vague interest in seeing this movie before your post. Now I have no interest in it.

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ Oct 19, 2009 -> 02:43 PM) I won a trip to London this past week, I am planning on going for around 2 weeks and catching as much as possible without feeling like I am spending the majority of the time travelling. Anyone ever do this before? I have been to Ireland 3 times so I have some family there and in England that I plan on visiting for a small time. Some other places I have on my list are the Swiss Alps, Amsterdam, Ibiza, Italy amongst others- Anyone have any tips and/or suggestions of where to go in Europe? How much to bring Money wise if we are staying in Hostels? I actually found flights from Dublin to London that are as low as 5 Pounds each! Apparently you were busy while you were there. But sorry, I have never been to Europe and have no suggestions. Just wanted to crack that joke.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 11:04 PM) Congrats Steve...I have a friend that finished in 4:48. You just had to one-up him, eh? Congratulations, though. I can't even imagine running a marathon.

I wouldn't. I have no faith that he will ever be really healthy.

I'm actually becoming more and more interested in landing Matsui, with Johnson being a distant second.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 08:49 PM) I actually never did the Columbia House thing, but my brother did, and yeah, it's a long-term commitment. They just never had enough current music that I liked, and would have to buy eventually, to justify grabbing some back catalog for a penny. But I do remember the first three albums (YES, albums, you whippersnappers) I bought with my own money. Kiss Alive Van Halen debut album Cheap Trick At Budokan (import double-album....at Sears....for 25 bucks in 1978!) Is that the one with the really famous version of I Want You To Want Me? The one with all of the Japanese girls singing every verse in the background and all?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 11:28 AM) Thanks for the catch and best of luck, but I don't ever want to see you in a Sox uni again. ^This. And I stuck by my word. I didn't say a single bad thing about him since The Catch.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 05:02 PM) I just finished watching Inglorious Basterds. I haven't been this disappointed from a movie in quite awhile. I know this discussion was had near the films theatrical release, but honestly, did anyone feel unsettled in numerous scenes because it just seemed to drag on for too long? It has become his trademark. A perfect example of this would be the scene where "Bear Jew" was inside the cave banging his bat, intimidating the Nazi soldier. It wasn't building suspense in my mind. I was just thinking, "get out of the f***ing cave already!" The entire tavern scene was excruciating to sit through, as well. And yes, because I can anticipate the replies, I knew the trailers misguided the public into believing it was an action flick revolving around Pitt's character. I had already known much of what happened, I just have to admit, it didn't live up to the standards I hold for Tarantino. I didn't really think much of the dialogue, or the characters (aside from the woman who owned the theater), and I certaintly didn't care for the action or suspense. I can't knock everyone's appreciation for this movie. There are probably countless fans (many on this board) who can articulate their appreciation for the movie. Fine. But what I feel is too many Quentin Tarantino fan-boys are praising this movie because he's involved. It' reminds me of the Boondock Saints fan base, where honoring the movie has become a cult all in itself. Nobody cares, Flash. We all hate you.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 08:46 PM) Thats a shame. The wrong team won. The team that couldn't close out a terrible division or hold a lead in their play-in game? No, the right team won.

Congratulations, Twins...and you're welcome.

As much as I hate Nick Punto, I love Nick Punto.

I'd bet money that Inge comes through.
