Milkman delivers

A few days ago I mentioned in another thread that I would be watching Downfall because Netflix had been suggesting it to me (someone had posted a video clip from the movie). It was a really great movie. It's kind of hard to describe why it was so good. It sort of gave you a view of how Hitler's closest followers viewed him, especially towards the very end of the war right before he killed himself.

From my own experience of looking up shows on that site, only the most popular and long-running shows get pages for each character. This is a good sign.

SONS OF ANARCHY.

It's very hit or miss to me.

My top three offensive weapons in Mafia Wars are currently an assault rifle, an armored personnel carrier, and a beret. My top three defensive weapons are the same armored personnel carrier, a guerrilla commando, and a wooden gun. That game just doesn't make sense sometimes.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Sep 8, 2009 -> 02:02 AM) Actually, i just had to look up what obp and slg meant. I have no idea what the Office of Border Patrol and Slave Labor Graphics have to do with any of this.

I think it's pretty unfair to compare the Yankees to anyone. They have 26 world titles with the closest being the Cardinals with 10. No team in college football has had that type of dominance.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 8, 2009 -> 11:11 AM) You're completely missing the point. It's college. Everyone is pretty much deeply rooted it tradition. Watching the chief dance when I was younger, that's one of the most hair raising rituals I have ever seen. But I'm not going to go around telling people they cannot find anything like it elsewhere. That's where the comparison to the Wrigley Field experience comes in. I mean, it's college gameday, it's hard not to have a great time, even if your team is s***ty. ^^

QUOTE (kev211 @ Sep 7, 2009 -> 06:14 PM) Yep because you know the last night Notre Dame won the national championship was in 1908, and the fans love this lovable loser thing that been placed on the team. The fans also love going to notre dame stadium to get drunk and look at the hot girls. Nope the fans actually care about the football game that is happening, and they actually care about the record of their team year in and year out. Why else would Charlie Weis be on the hot seat after 2 bad years right after 2 BCS years? Well, it's not like they were that good or deserved those BCS appearances. He's rightfully on the hot seat because he's not that good at his job.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Sep 7, 2009 -> 03:09 AM) Do it and then fix my post. People at ND actually care about what's happening on the field. They actually give a f*** about their team which is what makes the entire experience awesome. My favorite part of your post is where you left out the part that makes your post worthless. Cubs =/= Notre Dame Well, do you expect me to leave that in there when my post was saying the exact opposite thing? You're right, though. They're very polarizing. Luckily it's been a very good couple of decades for those of us who hate them.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 10:58 PM) Anyone who hates the Cubs needs to go to the north side one time and attend a Cubs baseball game with an open mind. You will never experience anything like that anywhere. Go Cubbies. /fixed

QUOTE (knightd1 @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 05:55 PM) Am I one of very few people that doesn't like the movie "Rudy"? Seems everryone just loves it and I've always been meh... I hate Notre Dame, but get outta Dodge. Rudy is awesome.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 01:06 PM) I disagree that Gonzaga doesn't get any hate, but I see your point because it's not nearly as much. However, Notre Dame is widely regarded as THE Catholic/Religious University on the United States, I think it's the only school where if brought up, people think religion. I'm not calling you out personally as hating them due to religion (your reasoning to dislike them is perfectly reasonable), but the fact remains that I would bet a lot of people dislike them for religious reasons, but some wouldn't admit to that being the reason. Boston College is also Catholic, I believe. I don't think they get much hate. Plus, I'm Catholic and I should like Notre Dame, if anything. I don't, though.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 12:42 PM) I don't think ANY of the hate is religiously-based. Gonzaga is Catholic and it doesn't get any hate. I voted for the bandwagon fans who didn't go to ND, don't have family who went to ND, don't live near ND and have no reason to be fans other than to be attached to the 'name'. This is the biggest reason for me, but there are plenty of reasons. I didn't vote because I could have gone with about 5 or more of the choices.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 10:13 PM) Inglourious Basterds = Excellent Have anything to input on the previous discussions in this thread about the movie?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 02:34 PM) Who plans on seeing Extract this weekend? It doesn't look that funny to me. I hope someone here sees it and comments, though.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 04:44 PM) Ron, what music do you listen to now? If you try Pandora and make a station of bands you like, the system selects different bands similar to bands that you like and plays their music. I listen to mostly classic rock with a little bit of everything thrown in there randomly. I have been to pandora, but nothing new seems that good to me...not sure why.

QUOTE (earthshiner @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 11:58 PM) I am not so sure people realize that Rios has only played in 17 games for us. Not sure how anyone can make any sort of judgment on him. I knew it wasn't many games, but THAT'S IT?!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 08:07 PM) actually, they got hot at the same time the Sox took a dive, at this point in the season, after scuffling a bit, they caught fire and went 17-3. But this coincided with a slide by the Sox, which only stoked that fire for them i'm sure. Plus we have minny to jump over. Still...they proved it can be done, with some help. Proved that you can play at a ridiculous clip and still not pass the team ahead of you?

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 09:57 PM) depends how little of the music you are listening to. I'm open to listening to anything. Any good suggestions?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 09:18 AM) He's been amazing in everything I've ever seen him in. I honestly think he's the best actor of my time (or at least he's one of them). IMO, he is the best actor of this generation. I always say that when I have movie discussions with people.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 09:02 AM) Watched Gangs of New York on IFC last night. I think I enjoyed it more the 2nd time around. Daniel Day Lewis was amazing. He's amazing in everything. That year Adrien Brody won Best Actor for the Pianist. It could have gone either way (that year was actually fairly stacked for actors), but I'm sure the fact that the Pianist was about a Jewish man surviving the Holocaust put Brody over the top. And that Boondock Saints trailer leaves a lot to be desired.

That picture makes me dizzy.
