QUOTE (Shadows @ Oct 29, 2008 -> 12:07 AM) Quarantine was pretty cool The worst part of it was that the previews gave away the ending, other than that I thought it was good I'm guessing the final scene was when she got pulled away by an unseen character?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Oct 29, 2008 -> 08:35 AM) My seat is right next to yours, if you would take your blinders off I like his movies, too. The Academy just slobbers all over him, though.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 07:14 PM) I'm no biologist, but why are we always looking for water in regards to alien life? Is water really the universal building block of life outside of Earth? I doubt we could possibly know that. And "aliens" always seem to have two arms/feet and are more or less a weird version of us. What are the chances that there is a universal life structure? As for the government holding information, NASA has been sued multiple occasions for withholding such information about the Kecksburg UFO sighting. I do find that interesting. They still won't give up anything. This led to a solid hour of Wikipedia for me.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 02:59 PM) The "old" part is fairly new. He has transitioned from playing a active badass to the guy you see in the Gran Torino previews, sitting on the porch complaining about everything. He can still kick alot of ass, but he would rather complain. He played that character to a T in Million Dollar Baby. I have become a big fan of the movies he directs too Are you on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences?

Why did you post the second one when it says he will not go to the MLB?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 12:16 AM) I call "Secretary of Being a Drunken Idiot in a High Position of Power." He already called President...BAM!

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 26, 2008 -> 04:06 PM) 'Burn After Reading' was good, silly fun. Brad Pitt is an under rated as an actor, he does comedy pretty well. Brad Pitt is incredible in supporting roles, yes. He's pretty bad in lead roles, though.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 26, 2008 -> 01:49 AM) I really thought that last dribbler was going to go foul. This World Series has been very disappointing, as neither team is playing at a high level. Eh, it's a close series and each game has been close. As long as the White Sox or Cubs aren't in the World Series, I'll take this every time.

I'm looking through the guide on my tv, and I see there's a show on CNN right now called D.L. Hughley Breaks The News. And I'm confused.

I don't feel like reading all of this. Any solid rumors or news in this thread?

Macha.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 24, 2008 -> 10:14 PM) Heights is my greatest fear. I have nightmares where I am falling and wake up shaken. I will NEVER go up in the Sears Tower and I HATE flying. I'm not particularly scared of heights, although I'm sure I'd be terrified on a ledge or something. But, I can see what you mean. At least with some kind of animal, it's you vs. something else. I know a person with agoraphobia, and I just feel awful for her. It's not something you can really avoid.

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Oct 24, 2008 -> 08:24 PM) I don't think it was the worst, but the humor has gone south this season. Too much of it is childish and I don't see much dry humor any more. The episode "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis" is probably the only episode from this season on par with anything else previously. They've strayed away from those taboo subjects and the plot lines are nonsensical and not very interesting. They've played off of Charlie's stupidity far too much and they're making the characters more into archetypes of themselves rather than building on what they had. This season hasn't been terrible, but in my eyes, they set the bar high and they aren't getting there. I agree with this, although I would have tried to make it sound less douchebaggy if I were to have written it.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 24, 2008 -> 07:47 AM) It's good to feel wanted. . . The rumrunner is one of those drinks that 10 different places will make 10 different ways. Not as bad as some of the things that pass for mai tais, but close. The original rumrunner was created at the Tiki bar, Holiday Isles on Islamorada in the Florida Keys - a big treehouse kid of hangout that was probably the best bar in the upper Keys (Developers have targeted it for demolition and that may already have happended). It was a drink made specifically to use up excess inventory of banana liqour, blackberry brandy, and 151 rum and became an unintentional sensation and signature drink. It was always served frozen in the original form, but most other places have non-frozen versions as well. Here's the original recipe: ½ oz Bacardi Select Rum ½ oz Barcardi 151 Rum (I usually use Cruzan 151) 7/8 oz Hiram Walker Blackberry Brandy 7/8 oz Hiram Walker Banana Liqueur (I preferr Juacim's or however it is spelled. Stay away from DuKuyper as it is way too overpowering, or cut the amount back if you have to use it). 5/8 oz Grenadine 1 oz Lime Juice Freeze in blender and serve in 12 oz glass. If you're not doing frozen, this recipe is going to be too strong and unbalanced, so a couple of ounces of pineapple and orange juice will be needed to cut it back. A lot of recipes use the Roses wsweetened lime juice but I use fresh in the Tiki bar version. Play with it a little to balance the banana liquour. But DO NOT omit the blackberry brandy and banana liquour or else it isn't a rum runner. Don't forget to have some Red Stripe on hand for the beer drinkers. In no way am I directing this post towards you, Flasoxx, but I have a few in me and feel like saying this. Who else reads threads they're not really interested in until they see a post that seems too long to read, and then just completely throws the thread away? I do it all the time.

QUOTE (TheBlackSox8 @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 06:07 PM) Road to Perdition brought some tears. God I love that movie. Ah, mostly due to Paul Newman. That scene where Hanks shoots him is very good. The end of Tombstone is pretty close, too, with Doc laying in the bed.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 04:10 PM) I would say several beers. And an HJ under the table.

ESPN's images of the century. Maybe not tears, but chills each and every time I see it.

I have been on an 80's tear recently. I made a nice little playlist. Off the top of my head, these are some of the songs: Once In A Lifetime - Talking Heads Train In Vain - The Clash Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House Who Can It Be Now? - Men At Work Age Of Consent - New Order Save It For Later - The English Beat

When I was younger, I couldn't even watch the scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? when they put the little shoe in the ooze or whatever it was. When Brooks hangs himself in The Shawshank Redemption is always tough.

QUOTE (almagest @ Oct 20, 2008 -> 02:57 PM) Sure -- it's almost even, unless you consider defensive stats, VORP, and WARP, then A-Rod pulls ahead. I mentioned before that this was the case. Alex Rodriguez is certainly not better because he tries harder, which unfortunately seems to be the popular argument. No, he's just flat-out better.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 20, 2008 -> 04:42 PM) I know that it is a tv show, but I was really disappointed when they had the patch-over, and the Mayans came by and started shooting, that nobody, on either side, got killed and only one guy even got shot. Even inner city gangbangers have better aim, that that. There shouldn't have been a Mayan left standing with all the lead flying from two different angles. Otherwise, it has seemed fairly realistic. I remember thinking something like that. There haven't really been that many deaths, although there has been plenty of violence.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 20, 2008 -> 02:51 PM) Well, its not earth-shattering or anything. Don't expect 100% reality either. But its definitely a worthwhile pick for a long flight - entertaining and fun. I agree completely. You definitely won't regret watching it for the flight, but it's not like you'll want to watch it again for a while.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 20, 2008 -> 03:56 PM) Just think Sopranos on Harleys. Exactly. I think it's like the Sopranos as told from Christopher's perspective. And shipps, the show is very good, but Steve might be blowing it a bit out of proportion.
