While i understand what you are saying, I still think musical scenes have a much bigger influence on people than the internet ever will. Its one thing to hear a song from your computer, its a whole different thing to walk into a dive-bar and hear it in its uncut/unedited/un-studio-ed glory.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 11:35 PM) I think that Kim Matuska was by far the prettiest one he's ever dated. Not in that picture she isnt. Stacy was much prettier than what I am looking at here

I get GameInformer magazine, and in their monthly "the good, the bad and the ugly" section they have this quote under UGLY I have read nothing but good things about Ghostbusters for all three platforms, I dont know what Atari was thinking. I never played it, but I heard The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is a pretty cool game as well. QUOTE (BobDylan @ Dec 19, 2008 -> 03:53 AM) And book it, I will always poke fun at you for having a Wii. yeah yeah

Just because

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 05:06 PM) The Batman film series as a whole, under multiple directors, has had a knack for turning actors into success in roles that seemed outside their strengths. I mean, I recall the laughter from most circles of the idea of Mr. Mom playing Batman in the first film, but he turned out to be pretty good for it. Jim Carrey was an excellent Riddler IMO, though the film itself was mostly garbage. Ledger really made his role work well too. I agree with Jim Carrey being an excellent Riddler, but I dont think that was a role that was outside his strength. I think that was Jim Carrey all the way. But I agree for the most part about your point. Val Kilmer, Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Michelle Pfeiffer were not really highly regarded in those roles prior to the film.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 02:16 PM) With the console's limitations I really don't see how far they could make advances to bring in the hardcore gamer anyway. If the game is fun, people will play it. It doesnt have to be blue ray to bring in the guy who wants to play an RPG or MMO

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 02:01 PM) Why fix something that isn't broken? Is that fixing something that isnt broken, or engineering a new revenue stream?

I honestly think Nintendo will start a bigger program to bring in some hardcore gamers within the next year or so. JMO of course, but they know they need to step into that market a little bit

QUOTE (Shadows @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 12:59 PM) While I think the story is bogus and it doesn't really matter, I must add this.. You are kidding yourself if you thought Heath Ledger was going to be a badass Joker when it was announced he got that part. I totally agree, I heard so many brokeback joker jokes after he was selected. I totally trust Nolan's judgement at this point. If he feels Murphy(shudder) is the man for the job, I will agree

QUOTE (Shadows @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 01:01 PM) Because it IS The Wii is only fun with a group of people or SOME games.. if the Wii is your only system for gaming, it blows... I think we all have determined which systems we like. I like playing Super Mario Galaxy, Zelda, World of Goo, Rampage, MarioKart, Spiderman Friend or Foe and plenty of other games by myself. It doesnt blow as much as you think it does, and I know it isnt as great of a piece of hardware like PS3 and the 360, I dont need to be told every time I bring up the system that I play

Seriously, whats not to love?

I think all this Riddler and Robin crap is just deliberate misinformation. A few weeks ago it was Johnny Depp and Philip Seymour Hoffman and Angelina Jolie. As far as I know, a script hasnt even been started yet, so there is really no point in worrying about the actors in a movie thats at best 2 years away

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 07:34 AM) It's not the genre that transfer's well, it's never the genre. It's the storyteller/filmmaker that translate it well. Video game movies are trash right now, yes, and I'm not sure why I'm going to defend them here because I'm against it as well, but to assume that there is no wiggle room to improve is silly. I mean, for every good comic book movie, there are 10 behind it that are awful. To shut off an entire genre because nothing good has come out of it yet isn't right. Ask Stephen King why. Somewhat aside from the point, the main reason why I don't like these (comic book adaptations and video game adaptations) movies is because they carry no substance. It's not impossible to give them substance, but I'm still waiting for it. I enjoy entertainment, so I go and see most of the movies, but I don't praise them because I have yet to see one that is, in any way, special. And even if I do see one that is great, I won't praise the genre, I'll praise that one single movie. I mostly call for these movies to die because they (Hollywood) don't treat them as sotires, but rather a genre. If, instead, they picked movies that are truly good stories and films instead of what they think people want to see, the movie industry and movies, at least in terms of quality, would improve greatly. Hopefully Watchmen changes things in the genre for you

QUOTE (juddling @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 09:09 AM) or if you want to think the other way...she'll be the safest woman in Bolingbrook. Petersen has got to know that if anything happens to her (even if he didn't do it) that he will be the main suspect. He will do all he can to keep her around. I dont know about that, I think Drew thinks he is bulletproof at this point. If he got away with Savio, and up till now got away with Stacy, whats gonna stop him? The guy is cool as a cucumber, he hasnt cracked yet

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 08:57 AM) The other guy fled the scene,still havent found out if they got him. My insurance went about it as if it was my fault even though it wasnt just because they werent going to wait to get the other guy to start fixing my car. I hope they find him but I highly doubt he has insurance since he ran off after the accident. That really stinks, sorry to hear that he wasnt caught. Hopefully your grandfathers trusty steed is enough. Is it the classic Silver Caravan?

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 08:29 AM) Remember way back when I got in the car wreck,well my car is still in the shop and my insurance company stopped paying for my rental. So I returned the rental and now Iam driving my grandfathers minivan from 1987,how much fun its been driving this thing through the snow. God I hope they pick up the pace fixing my car. Shouldnt the other guys insurance pay for the rental? Was the accident your fault?(I cant remember)

QUOTE (rangercal @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 02:21 AM) Looks like I'll be playing my wii a little more now. My fiance knocked the ps3 on the floor (kind of my fault though), it only took a 2 foot death drop to the carpeted floor to screw up the hard drive. Luckily for me it is still under warranty and I won't even be home much the next 3 weeks as it's getting repaired. LOL, you make it sound like punishment

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 18, 2008 -> 03:36 AM) Yes and no. He's made big strides to get us back to a higher level of competition, but he has a stupid rule where he won't play any school without a return home game and will also not accept 2 for 1's, which completely blows. Mario Mocca and SIU's previous AD adopted the same rule way back in the Weber years. Its rough for the first couple of years, but as long as your team takes care of its business during those rough times and continues to win, it starts to pay dividends. SIUs OOC schedule has steadily gotten better

I did one time at the radiostation I hated working at in college. And I took a bagel out of a bag of bagels, and ate it plain because I was starving and couldnt leave for food. And I replaced the bagel the next week and nobody complained

QUOTE (BobDylan @ Dec 17, 2008 -> 02:02 PM) Is that a joke? Oh Im sorry, I didnt realize Hellboy was a Literature classic Some of the comic book movies are reboots/remakes, but a lot of the newer comic book movies havent had any screen treatment, and I look forward to those movies. Then again, I dont really kill movies like a lot of you guys do, so take it with a grain of salt.

QUOTE (R.J. @ Dec 17, 2008 -> 09:30 AM) Doesn't Kemp lead off? I want this to happen right now. That 17th pick would be so, so nice. Cabrera doesnt like leading off anyways, he likes being the 2 hitter, so that would work out nicely for the dodgers

QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 17, 2008 -> 07:54 AM) I had Wendy's last night. For some reason McDonald's just doesn't taste good to me anymore, and I burned myself out on Burger King a few years ago. Why'd Wendy's get rid of the Big Bacon Classic in favor of the Baconator? The Baconator sucks, it's like half a dead pig on a cheeseburger with no other ingredients. If I wanted that much bacon I'd just go to Bob Evans. I couldnt agree with you more. I am no meat-atarian I guess, because its just too much beef and bacon, it just tastes like grease and cheese. I always tell them to add lettuce tomato and onion, or at one Wendys I go to I ask for the Big Bacon Classic and they make it the old way. But I am pretty much done with the baconator

QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 17, 2008 -> 08:00 AM) Thank you for that bit of nostalgia. My office was at Algonquin and 53. I lived in Wheeling and Wildwood while working there, so I traveled that stretch a lot. From my house in Wheeling, the drive was always about 30 minutes. Then one night at 3 am the alarm was triggered and I had to go to the office. Ten minutes. After that my drive sucked knowing how fast it could be without stopping at every light. LOL, I used to LIVE in Rolling Meadows at Algonquin and 53, two streetlights from the 53 exit ramp (carraigeway drive). My father used to work at Hewlett Packard in the 90's back in the industrial park that was in the corner of 90 and 53 as well
