Milkman delivers

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 05:57 PM) Since DC created the characters in Watchmen, I'm guessing it was. During the long intro scene you can see some Batman posters on the wall, and when the crowd is rioting you can see someone hanging and lighting fire to a Superman dummy. So, you're saying I'm a genius?

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 05:38 PM) Not sure if this has been posted before but Mickey Rourke has signed on to play the next villain for Ironman 2 ...milkman breathe,just breathe! http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.eonline.com/103998- Old news! I am going to look forward to it because I think Iron Man was a great movie, but it's not like I have a man-crush on Rourke. I just felt that his performance was the best this year. Now if they announced that Tom Wilkinson was to have a big role in it, I'd mark out.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 05:55 PM) From what you say, the movie sounds better to me. I have to look up more information, though.

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 01:27 PM) Nor am I surprised that you didnt like it. It doesn't work in reverse? You didn't type "amI". Did you even notice my clever putdown?

It doesn't surprise me at all, Shipps. Iam not surprised.

Thanks, but hopefully someone posts it before that time, ha. I think I mentioned the Visitor earlier in this thread. I've seen just about everything, though, so it's easy to miss a post.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 10, 2009 -> 08:10 PM) Personally, I hope Fallon succeeds. I've always liked him but he picked some pretty bad roles in movies (aside from his Boston Red Sox movie), I thought that was pretty good. I can't believe anyone liked this movie.

Can someone who's read the book tell me how it ended differently than that movie? I won't be reading it.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 7, 2009 -> 09:16 PM) Anyone see The Visitor? Wondering if there are any scenes with subtitles. Going on another trip for work and don't want to make the mistake of adding a heavily subtitled movie to my Zune again. Made following Miracle at St Anna very difficult. Great movie. No subtitles that I can remember. I might be very late in this response, so sorry. Watchmen was great. I really enjoyed every bit of it. One thing that crossed my mind, though. Were Night (or Nite, not sure) Owl II and Dr. Manhattan supposed to be similar to Batman and Superman? I thought they seemed alike. Night Owl's quick back story seemed to resemble that of Batman, having a rich dad, the bat cave thing, etc. I thought that might have been a reason why they didn't go deep into his past, and sort of just had the character explain it himself. Dr. Manhattan reminded me of Superman just because he was "so much better" than every other superhero. "I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me" -Instantly one of my favorite movie quotes of all time.

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Mar 5, 2009 -> 05:07 AM) That leaves us with one major problem, who is our leadoff??? Anderson definitely can't do it, and Getz is more of a #2 hitter. That's why I think that Jerry might be our starting CF although I'd rather go with BA in center and take our chances having Lexi or Getz/Nix leadoff. Cabrera wasn't a prototypical lead-off hitter last year. I'm sure Getz will do just fine, and much better than Owens, in that spot.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Mar 5, 2009 -> 03:25 AM) You are finally getting smarter! I thought it was just you mellowing out in your old age.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Mar 5, 2009 -> 12:13 AM) Basically, I agree with you. However, Nix may beat out Getz for the 2B job. Too early to call. What happened to us?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 08:24 PM) None of the bolded portion makes sense. Dewayne Wise hit 1 pinch hit homerun last season and had nearly identical PH numbers to Brian (same OPS, same PA). So Dewayne Wise turns on a first pitch fastball from Kyle Farnsworth in the 8th inning of a tied September game against a last place team and it totally makes up for the fact that he's truly incapable of doing anything well on the ballfield? Yeah, that makes sense. Anderson has a disappointing season as a 24 year old and he's out of chances yet Dewayne Wise builds up a 12 year resume of failure and that counts for nothing. Aside from maybe being slightly faster (maybe) I can't think of a single thing Dewayne Wise does better than Brian Anderson, at least one of them can play competent defense. I'm befuddled I can't think of a single thing Wise does well and yet it looks like he has a decent shot at a major league starting job this season. He's 31 years old, he's sort of hit his peak. Owens apparently possesses the necessary skills to be the leadoff hitter and beneficiary of the most PA on a contending American League club yet having him on the same roster as the AAA bound Anderson is "too much of a bad thing." I'm wondering what these skills that you and Bill Melton see in Owens that make him the most qualified leadoff hitter on the roster. I assume it's his volume SB ability. I say volume because I'm not convinced he's a skilled baserunner, when he somehow manages to get on base he's likely going to take off for 2nd but he's done nothing in the past that makes me believe he's going to make it to second more often than 75% of the time. Oh I know, he's the closest thing to a "prototypical leadoff hitter" that the Sox have, unfortunately the prototype blows. Sure he's a bad baseball player but he's fast and someone fast has to hit at the top of the order so lets give this s***ty baseball player and obscene number of plate appearances so he can lead the league in outs. Oh if only Chris Getz could get hot and start tearing the cover off the ball during these meaningless March games and win himself a starting job. Stick him in the leadoff spot, hope he reaches a .350 OBP and fill centerfield with an above average defender. Centerfield is one of the most important defensive positions on the field, put 2 s***ty defenders in left and right (I'm looking at you Dye and Quentin) and suddenly it becomes even more important. The Sox aren't exactly littered with strikeout pitchers, they're going to rely on the defense behind them. The Sox were one of the worst defensive teams in baseball last season, now they've removed the only true strikeout pitcher from the rotation so that defense is going to get even more opportunities and the defense looks to be even worse than it was last year. Perhaps using the 2B position to fill the leadoff spot and plugging a great defensive player right in the middle of the outfield could help make up for the 4 or 6 below average defenders the Sox are going to have to run out there this year. Sticking the puss armed bantam track star or the career minor league butcher in centerfield and adding another below average defender to the mix just because of a perceived need for a speedy douchebag in the leadoff spot is just epically retarded in my mind but what do I know, I'm a raving lunatic. Thank God you said all of this so I didn't have to. I honestly got mad reading the paragraph that you put in bold.

I think Ozzie will make the right choice this year and start Anderson in CF. I think Getz will get the 2B job, and Lillibridge and Betemit will be on the bench.

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 4, 2009 -> 09:35 AM) I gotta say,I really HATE EVERYONE today. I am a mean little b**** today. On the bright side, you overcame your grammatical deficiencies.

I knew what it would be before opening the thread, but only because lostfan talked about it on facebook, too.

QUOTE (chwhtsox @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) I guess I'm lucky that I picked MY favorite characters then to be honest, it was a toss up between Jax and Opie. Opie has so much promise as a character. I cannot wait to see what they do with him.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 01:37 PM) Go... and tell your friends I let you live, that Mr. Eko let you live. OK, I don't watch this show, but I need to know the context of when this line was said.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 12:25 PM) good point. I'd love to see the guy have a good year, but of course I'm torn. He'll be helping the twins. But if he could have a big year and sign a good contract that sets him up for life, that would be nice. He's one of the good guys. As long as his team is awful, I'll hope he does well to sign a nice contract.

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) Gahh it's hard to say that you want on the internet because you have no tone. I know that below the belt shots are illegal in MMA, it was more my way of saying "dude falls, ass gets kicked fight over in 30 seconds." It's not that I hate MMA, rather, I like the technicality of it, the history, and I like that it isn't marketed on the "extreme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" plan. But I get why so many more people prefer MMA to boxing. Also, hope I didn't come off as a prick with my last post......i swear I'm not that angry haha Na, you came off more as a douche.

I've been saying that Leinart won't be a good NFL QB since before he was drafted. He's a pretty boy, nothing more. He never got touched in college, and that made me believe he'd be a piece of glass in the NFL. I still stand by that.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 01:59 PM) Not surprising, considering its the same guy who brought us 300, one of the most laughably bad movies I've ever seen. In what way? I agree that it was way over the top and historically inaccurate, but those were some of its intentions.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 12:17 PM) Yeah I was going for the "Who's on First" type joke there. Apparently I failed. Like I said, I figured you were joking. There are just a lot of idiots on the internet, though, so I figured an explanation would be useful.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 02:16 PM) I liked Madeline better. That girl from the lake too. winnie never did it for me... Winnie Cooper was a b****.

QUOTE (chwhtsox @ Mar 3, 2009 -> 02:00 PM) Marlo - The Wire Paully - Soprano's Drama - Entourage Jax - Sons of Anarchy Dr. Spencer Reed - Criminal Minds Winnie Cooper - The Wonder Years (huge crush when I was 11) Jax is the worst character on that show. I honestly like every other character, minor or not, more than him. I love that show, though.
