QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 09:46 PM) I did not see Frost/Nixon. I wouldn't understand it since I know diddly about Watergate. I didn't know much about it. No more than most, at least. You don't have to know anything about it. You can probably go to the bathroom now.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 09:41 PM) It's the biggest fish in a small pond, IMO. That skit ruled with Franco and Rogen. Did you see the other nominees? I think Frost/Nixon was easily better, easily. And yes, that was a great skit.

Oh, a movie about the Holocaust won an Oscar...surprising. I'm not trying to mock the atrocity, but Ricky Gervais was right on at the Golden Globes when he told Kate Winslet something along the lines of, "I told you. Make a Holocaust movie and the awards start rolling in."

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 09:34 PM) Jessica Biel is overrated. I said it. Slumdog Millionaire is overrated. I said it.

Just so I don't look retarded, here's the Family Guy skit: Lois: I feel like that fat-ass British girl from Titanic. Peter: What girl? Lois: The *lead* in Titanic. The one opposite Leonardo Di Caprio. Peter: Sweetheart, that was a guy. Lois: What? Peter: That was a guy. That was Philip Seymour Hoffman. Lois: No it wasn't! Peter: Yes it was, honey. It was Philip Seymour Hoffman. Look at you out here on a big trip.

I was making an extremely weak reference to Family Guy. I was hoping someone would somehow see what I was going for.

Does anyone doubt that Philip Seymour Hoffman will win Best Actress for The Reader?

I would've given the makeup award to Hellboy II.

Usually they intersperse these s***ty awards with major ones. It looks like they're really trying to get the garbage out of the way.

All those white guys look the same to me.

Haha, that asian guy looked to be bombing with that speech, but saved it with the Mr. Roboto thing.

This is now going pretty quickly. They're getting the awards nobody cares about out of the way as fast as they can.

Are Travolta, Cruise, or any of the Scientology freaks there? If so, I wonder if they'll make a deal out of that joke.

I enjoyed that opening number.

QUOTE (knightni @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 10:58 AM) Boy, you guys will nitpick anyone to death, huh? Can't you see that he's only a monkey who was owned by a famous mural painter? I'd expect a monkey with the ability to type to not make such mistakes, especially one owned by a genius such as Michelangelo.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 11:12 AM) Approximately 20 people murdered including a graphic scene of a man getting run over by a truck, 18 year old girls strung out on heroin, sex trafficking, and foul language equals PG-13? Sure there wasn't a ton of blood but give me a break. When you have a 13 year old you'll see where I'm coming from. Let's hope that's a long time from now.

QUOTE (michelangelosmonkey @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 08:53 AM) I'm with you on this. I'm really fascinated with Kenny Williams and this spring in particular. OK, every once in a while a guy can get lucky on taking another organization's failed top prospect...but Kenny did it with Quentin, Jenks and Floyd in the last few years...guys that when we got them people said, m'heh. And now they are stars. And you think...maybe he was lucky or maybe...I don't know, maybe he sees things the rest of the GM's don't. Then this offseason he acquires Marquez, Betemit, Lillibridge, Van Benschoten and Nix and one has to sit up and wonder. Then KW did the same with international players...Tadahiro Iguchi, Shingo Takatsu and then last year Lexi...and now this year he adds Viciedo...who might be the most intriguing of all. And even the eye rolling over Bartolo Colon...but remember him pulling Estaban Loaiza off the old players scrap heap? Remember El Duque? Contreas? Jermaine Dye. Maybe it's not so crazy. Add into that mix, after the mess of the Sox minor league organization in the past we are presented with maybe the most interesting six pack of sox prospects at one camp...Flowers, Poreda, Allen, Bekham, Danks and Allen. And that's a dozen guys that are interesting. Sure everyone is a "maybe". But for most organizations "maybe's" are just organizational mirages sent to fans to give false hope. I've followed a lot of Sox teams over the last forty years and in so many years the Maybe's would be Getz, Fields and Broadway...and if you thought too hard about them you realized third place wasn't so bad. But Kenny? Maybe Kenny has a gift. If he does...perhaps the next WS isn't so far off. How dare you spell Tadahito's name incorrectly.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 10:03 AM) Saw Taken last night and was thoroughly entertained. Yeah most of it was implausible and there were some corny scenes, especially everything leading up to the trip to Paris, but it was fun. I'm also surprised at PG-13 ratings given to movies like this and Dark Knight. They were both ultra violent and I couldn't help but think what the heck did it need to get an R rating? I guess if they showed a boob it would have gotten the R but having 40 people savagely killed or injured is fine. A sad commentary on society today that violence is so easily accepted. There was no blood or gore of any kind. That's why it got the rating it did. And that last sentence made you sound really fruity

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Feb 22, 2009 -> 08:27 AM) I wouldnt even put those two in the same sentence. Bale has a much bigger acting repertoire and better skills than Wahlberg will ever have, like or dislike the guy. The guy I am starting to dislike a lot is Clive Owen. I just dont see the draw to the guy. I put them in the same sentence because they are both actors that the general public drools over. Bale is definitely a hundred times more talented than Wahlberg. I still don't think either is a very good actor, though. Mark Wahlberg is like Ben Affleck to me...I think both of their lesser-known brothers are more talented.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 21, 2009 -> 07:51 PM) The funny thing is Colon and Garland had nearly identical numbers that season aside from Colon's superior K rate and yet when the Cy Young voting results are released Colon gets 118 points and Garland 1. And yes Buehrle was better than Garland that season and finished with 5 ponts in Cy Young voting. That's what I was referring to. I remember people posting their lines, and they were identical.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 21, 2009 -> 07:09 PM) Sean Penn. He's a great actor and State of Grace is one of my all time favorites (largely because of the great Gary Oldman but Penn too) but I just can't stomach him. I know it sounds real juvenile but I think it's his face. It's kind of like Depp in Donnie Brasco where he just looked too damn young for the role even if he was 34 at the time or DeCaprio in The Departed, a lot people just can't take him seriously as a toughguy, that's how I am with Penn. For whatever reason I just can't take him seriously and given the nature of the vast majority of his roles that's a serious issue. Penn also bothers me a little, and I'll probably hate him if he gets the Oscar over Rourke. For two actors that I dislike that others seem to love, I'd say Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg. I don't think either of them is that good of an actor, though.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Feb 21, 2009 -> 07:59 PM) I was watching the Godfather several days ago on AMC and noticed their shameless promotion of Breaking Bad, so I decided to watch the first season on OnDemand. I honestly believe this is the best show on television. Even for a cable network original series I was blown away with the subject matter they discussed. Just the idea of a chemist teacher dying of lung cancer, with his wife pregnant, and him having to resort to creating a high quality of meth to help finances after he's dead is a great plotline. Additionally, so were the issues facing Cranston of whether or not to kill to gang member in his partner's basement, and his families intervention to convince him to seek chemotherapy. I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow survives the disease, though. Or it atleast goes into remission. I've been pimping that show for a while, to my friends at least. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it on this site, but it's awesome. The new season starts two weeks from tomorrow. I was very happy that Cranston won the Emmy for Best Actor.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 21, 2009 -> 03:59 PM) Eh, he was that same shape when he threw 222 IP and stole the Cy Young from Johan in '05. You can argue Jon Garland, too.

QUOTE (That funky motion @ Feb 21, 2009 -> 05:11 PM) CQ is the sexiest man alive!!! False. Quentin is not a man, and I'm not sure you can actually consider him to be alive.

I fear that Fields is going to get a lot of undeserved hatred this season from a LOT of fans because he took Crede's spot. He's going to have to be perfect to gain a decent following.
