Oh, forget all of this then

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 11:25 AM) I was just as confused as you. I did look it up, and he did start on 4/20 in 2007, 2008, & 2010. So it'll be 4 out of 6 years. That's cool. Thanks.

QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 06:05 PM) "Danks" describes good weed, I think, and April 20th (4/20) is like "National Pot Smokers Day". I understand what dank is, but the post I replied to seemed to be saying that he also seriously pitched almost every April 20th. That would have been really cool, but I hadn't heard anything like it before.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 05:29 PM) Patrick Stewart doing a Russian accent would either be the greatest or the worst thing ever. He's a classically-trained actor. I'm sure he'd do a great job.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 04:48 PM) I plan on winning the Mega Millions tonight. What's everybody want? I want a new hat.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 01:20 PM) I think people are being overly pessimistic on this team. I don't expect them to win just 70 games. I also don't expect 95 wins. This team could win anywhere from 85-88 games and will probably fall somewhere closer to that 78-82 win range. Just my humble opinion. So you're saying that they can max out at 88 wins? I don't think that qualifies as "shocking the division" at all. QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 01:35 PM) I'm not sure that I want to hear any talk from players about how we've got everybody just where we want 'em after a season where they finished 16 games out of first place with essentially the same team minus Buehrle and Santos. I think a good rule of thumb for the next two months is just play. Sox attendance has steadily gone down year after year since 2006 (which granted got a bump from the 05 World Series win) and is down 20% from '08 which was the last time we won the division. Enough talk. Just play. Agreed.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 12:41 PM) So does this line him up to make his annual 4/20 start (do we even play on 4/20 this year?)? EDIT: Yes, we play on 4/20! I'm not sure what you mean. He always starts on that date? I don't recall that joke at all.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 10:36 AM) Even Booney "Two-Toes" Clark, the best Hawk's ever seen at running halfway to second on a fly ball with 1 out!?!?!? I s*** you not, I had to Google that person to see if he was real. It honestly could have been a story mentioned by Hawk.

I have a theory, and I hope I don't offend any of you guys. Jenksismyb****:TV shows::danman31:movies::TheCritic:wrestling I think you are all the same crotchety old man. I might be one of you as well.

Balta, that sounds awesome. QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 02:59 PM) I just saw it a couple days ago as well. I thought it was OK, but the soundtrack and the opening credits gave it too much of an 80s feel. It was very strange and seemed to be too dominant. I could see it being much better as a book because it's probably better not to actually see 'Driver.' Reading about him constantly being referred to as Driver would add to the mystery of him. I thought he was more of a characteristic personified than an actual person and weird things like that work better written. What do you mean?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 27, 2012 -> 06:23 AM) That was incredibly confusing.

I watched Drive yesterday, thought it was really good. The soundtrack and the font of the title sequences gave it an odd feel, though. EDIT: It seemed to be over pretty quickly, which was a good and bad thing. It didn't drag at all, but it felt like it could have been more enjoyable if it were longer. I have to agree that Albert Brooks was awesome and seems to have been snubbed for an Oscar nomination. His character was a lot more complex than he seemed in the trailers.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 07:32 AM) I'll see it if the reviews are good. I just don't see the need for a reboot so fast. There was like a 15 second teaser for the last Twilight movie in our showing. I let out a quiet rasberry and got some laughs, a la George Costanza, from the people around me. Again, that's the same thing we were all saying about First Class, and that was awesome. I also hope you went out on a high note with that joke.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 01:44 AM) Yeah, she wasn't too attractive in the movie, but when I looked her up...damn. She's much better looking when blonde. Have you seen X-Men: First Class? I think she makes Rebecca Romijn look like crap in comparison.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 25, 2012 -> 12:36 AM) Maybe it's better to read the book afterwards. Everything in the movie seems a bit stale and repetitive if you've already read the books. It's always better to use your own imagination when reading the book...if you see the movie, it's hard not to imagine Jennifer Lawrence, Stanley Tucci, Elizabeth Banks and Lenny Kravitz in those roles. I know that kind of goes against the idea of reading the book 2nd, but it would definitely have made the movie a lot more interesting if I didn't know exactly what was going to happen in advance, particularly the ending (and I suppose that's true for any book adapted into a movie). For example, the girl from District 11 is played by a young African-American girl. Even if it's subtle, it changes the perceptions based on the choice of actors for certain parts. Once again, there's this "Magic Negro" element, where the black person brings companionship and insight and perhaps makes the hero look better in the process. Maybe everything is too politicized these days, and politically correct. Or maybe it's because having Zoe Saldana in the co-hero role in Avatar was refreshing, but again, the Na'vi people were essentially saved in the end by the white guy. Earlier in the movie, there's a "news highlight/footage" reel and one of the most brutal killers, I think the one who used a brick as his weapon, is African-American, too. Maybe it's because of this whole Treyvon Martin thing that's causing me to look harder for something that's not there, at least not intentionally. I love you, Caulfield, but you are the king of tangents.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 07:42 AM) It changed? It's been the same since the show started. And by that I mean brilliant. There's obviously 90% of the story that carries over from episode to episode, and sometimes you have a single episode arc. Season 3 has been all story building and completely brilliant. Even in the pilot, the case helped build for the future. For at least the first half of season one, it was (seemingly) a procedural police drama where the main character happens to get into a draw at some point each episode. That's why I stopped watching, but apparently they started to carry over storylines as soon as I decided to give it up

I hope the surprise cameo isn't Johnny Depp, as I know that's not a surprise at all.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 24, 2012 -> 01:18 AM) Hah. I just don't like how every episode is a story within itself. I prefer shows that don't start with a story/case, and then resolve it at the end of the hour. I think my buddy told me that S3 breaks away from that structure, but I'm still a the beginning of S2. Let me just put it this way, it took me almost 3 weeks to get through 1 season. It took me about 3 days to get through the first 2 seasons of Breaking Bad, and about a week to go through the first 4 seasons of Dexter. I get to the end of each episode and I rarely find myself saying "Oh s***, what is going to happen next!". I usually just watch the show when I am bored in my apartment and want to kill some time. That's why I never got into Justified. I know it changed eventually, but I had already stopped watching by that point.

QUOTE (The Gooch @ Mar 23, 2012 -> 12:08 PM) I think Timothy Olymphant might be a little busy for that now... One two-hour finale would be doable. It's never happening, though.
