Milkman delivers

I watched two movies from Netflix yesterday. The first was Little Children. It was a quality movie and had some very good performances. It was nothing spectacular, but it's definitely worth a viewing at least once. The second movie was Ed Wood. This was a Tim Burton movie, so of course it creeped me out somewhat (I always get a kind of uneasy feeling watching his flicks). There were a couple of things that popped out at me. I couldn't help but feel like Heath Ledger drew from Johnny Depp's portrayal of Ed Wood for his Joker character. The way Ed Wood spoke seemed very similar to the Joker to me. George "The Animal" Steele seemed, according to things I've read about Tor Johnson, to be perfect for his role. I'm not sure if that was actually him speaking, as Johnson was Swedish, but he was surprisingly good if it was him. And Martin Landau was freaking incredible as Bela Lugosi. He won the Best Supporting Actor that year, but he had so much face time in the movie that they probably could've nominated him for Best Actor and it would've been justified. He stole that movie without a doubt. It was honestly one of my favorite performances ever.

Pujols is on something. It might be steroids or HGH, but he's clearly on something. I honestly believe anyone who denies it is only doing so because they really don't want to believe it.

(Just pointing it out) The paypal account idea is great. I'd be willing to give the site some money, and I'm sure a lot of other people would as well. With the amount of members here, I'm sure you could get a good deal of money together pretty quickly. Also, can we make this outage happen over a weekend? If I'm going to have to be without the site for two full work days, it'll be the longest two days of my life.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 09:48 PM) Couple of things: - Did Houston play on IRod playing in Texas tonight for his record breaking game? If so, that's pretty cool - Check out David Wright's performance against LHP this season. What record?

QUOTE (The Bones @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 10:09 PM) Barton Fink is not only one of my favorite Coen movies but one of my all-time favorites. I love that movie! How do you feel about John Turturro?

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 11:38 AM) Remember Dye, he was "injury prone". I say shut down Q for the rest of the season and get his foot in the best possible condition it can be for February 2010, whether it be surgery, therapy, ice and heat, new shoes, whatever the hell it takes. Just cause he's had some injuries, you don't give up on his offensive potential. But there really is no need to risk him making it worse this year. Lets face, even if we somehow win the division, we won't go far in the playoffs. Dye was never injured on the Sox for an extended period of time in his first two seasons. Carlos Quentin has missed like a quarter of the games he's had on the Sox in two years.

I think I'm sold. Carlos Quentin is not a guy you can build your offense around. We need to remember this going forward, especially if we are going to go with the youth movement. I like the guy and his potential is through the roof, but he's a walking injury. He's not our savior and he never will be. He's a nice guy to have for a percentage of the year (which is all you'll ever get out of him), but we are going to need someone like Dye to be the real anchor of the offense each year.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jun 16, 2009 -> 05:07 PM) It is quit e a unique situation to say the least, with him going from Real World to RAW. I have to hand it to him, he is a little rough around the edges but he can cut a promo. this whole Cena thing he has going on reminds me of back in the late 90's someone(jericho?) calling out goldberg in WCW every week when everyone knew he was injured and wasnt going to show up. Although, Cena has been in the building lately, so I expect him to smack the Miz down down. Plus, I think Miz is really good at putting others over and taking great bumps.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 17, 2009 -> 07:09 AM) Caught The Edge for the 20th time last night on FMC. I love that film. Highly entertaining movie. I love it.

I watched Barton Fink last night. Pretty good movie, but a little confusing.

QUOTE (wilmot825 @ Jun 15, 2009 -> 05:04 PM) 4 years left on the $126 million....means like $72 million is left...(3 years x $18mil=$54mil...$126mil - $54mil= $72mil left...estimated) Yah it looks not possible, but we have seen KW do some amazing deals. How about we just pour a ton of human excrement onto a pile of $72 million, cover it in gasoline, burn it, and flush it down the toilet? That way, it'll stink less than Zito.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 12, 2009 -> 12:06 PM) MacDonald was hilarious last night, but he was definitely on a lot of drugs during that Roast. Why do you say that? He looked dead sober to me.

Land of the Lost had a few funny parts, but it seemed to be aimed at kids.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jun 12, 2009 -> 09:49 AM) Norm Mcdonald was hysterical last night. That's the funniest I've seen him in a long time. the last I saw him was on a Comedy Central roast and I think he was waisted... he was really bad. Last night was classic Mcdonald. That 9001 dudes was awesome. If you're referring to the Bob Saget roast, you couldn't be more wrong. He was sober and intentionally did very tame jokes. It was hilarious.

I'll be there.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 10:56 AM) Link Woohoo!

I'm not reading through this tread, but I assume the responses "done" and "you got it" have already been used? If not: Done. or You got it.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:53 PM) Is the character boring, monotonous, and bland? Schwimmer plays a very believable douchebag drill instructor.

QUOTE (juddling @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 05:28 PM) For those who care about such things....from Entertainment Weekly.com Bradley Cooper may star as Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck and Liam Neeson as Col. John "Hannibal" Smith in 20th Century Fox's long-awaited movie adaptation of '80s action series The A-Team, Variety reports. Joe Carnahan is already set to direct, with production beginning in late August for a June 2010 release. Faceman is the role originally played by Dirk Benedict; Hannibal was George Peppard's character. The script will retain the series' premise -- four war vets wrongly convicted of armed robbery escape from military prison to carry out Robin Hood-like missions -- but will hew closer to a Mission: Impossible tone. The roles of "Howling Mad" Murdock and "B.A." Baracus are yet to be cast. How did that series end?

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 03:17 PM) David Schwimmer's pretty great in "BoB." He fit perfectly for that character, or so it seemed based on descriptions of him.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 12:09 PM) Yeah, I think a lot of people's favorite character would be Speirs or Winters. Speirs is just a regular badass. And Winters is essentially the main character and one hell of a leader. I liked Malarkey a lot too. Lipton reminds me of my brother, who was an NCO in the Marine Corps. Also liked Buck Compton a lot. Oh, and how about that little scene with Jimmy Fallon? They did a great job with casting, but that guy does not belong in a war movie, lol. I forgot about Buck. He, too, was great. And speaking of people who don't belong in a war movie, Simon Pegg was also an American soldier in one small scene. EDIT: Oh yes, and the little Italian lost boy from Hook was Perconte, which was awesome.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 11:37 AM) There's 2 different forces that could be at work this season that weren't there last year and could have a big impact in the other direction. 1; the Economy. We don't know what JR is telling KW in terms of the budget (although the Peavy trade gives us some idea)...he could have extra motivation to cut costs now to both save JR some money and to free up money to play in the FA market this offseason, and 2. The team at Birmingham, which wasn't there last year and which looks like it's going to be moving a number of players in sooner rather than later. I wish people would just stop saying this. We never spend in free agency, at least on the very good free agents.
