The Disappearance of Alice Creed is fairly interesting...there are only three actors in the entire movie...but pretty decent.

QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Jan 4, 2011 -> 01:24 AM) Sixth grade bullies, some kids that were assholes through middle school, some punk ass kids from high school, (some of all of these grades never did anything with their lives so screw 'em), my ex's male best friend, my ex's boyfriend, some of the kids who tried to force religion on me, or shared their views on abortion with me and tried to say I was wrong...Add a crap ton of republicans, news anchors, politicians, and athletes to that and you are set. Also want to kick an engineering student's ass too, along with steroid pumpin' kids I knew who were jerks in frats...glad I played dirty in intramurals! Oh and I forgot about the defensive coordinator from high school football my sophomore year. That guy had no dick. We need to get you a punching bag, Ross!

You can tell Pryor is a bit of a brash, loudmouthed kid, but I sort of don't blame him. And what do you expect, honestly? Many of these athletes have not had the most stellar of upbringings, and while it is nice of the colleges to allow them an education for their services, but compared to the money they are generating for the NCAA and the schools, that's really nothing. I have a hard time placing judgment on kids who accept other perks, or even cash, when the NCAA so clearly looks out for its own interests in situations like the Ohio State ruling and the Cam Newton ruling. They're going to make their money off these bowl games and then punish the player and the school later on after they have already cashed their check. Sorry NCAA, but you created this mess, and until you come up with a better system, I hope you squirm.

The Town was solid. Not extraordinary by any means, but well done. Thought Jolene was a solid song for the credits, too.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 11:17 PM) Maybe. I think that the Pac 10 was relatively weak defensively and I still have alot of faith in Mallet as an NFL QB. I'm not sure he has the temperament to play QB in the NFL. He's kind of a spaz. But then again, I'm not overwhelmed by Luck either, although he's made a couple of really nice throws tonight. I guess I just have no idea what I'm doing

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) He looks like he should be wearing skinny jeans and a horizontal striped shirt, listening to Godspeed You Black Emperor. The Seahawks don't lose to guys like that. Hah, no offense, but that last line is kinda funny

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 09:32 PM) Maybe. I've found a gym that does very similar workouts and I love being able to get over there and do something different all the time. Plus its two blocks away. P90 was great for me for a few years and I really got started doing workouts that finally gave me results, but I think my days of working out in this condo are finished. Yeah, I can understand that. I'd keep the stuff if you have the room though...you never know when you might want/need to go back to it...

Wow, TT is very creative.

What a dumb play by the lineman to catch that ball in the end zone.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 07:48 PM) I swung by the new Dbags facility the other day when I was out there. It'll be nice and pretty accessible (right off the 101). I'm pretty pumped for ST! I know I brag about this every year...but this is the view out of my office window. Peoria Sports Complex left field. Little extended lunch for a brat, beer and baseball at least a couple times a week. That's pretty awesome, Wanne. Very jealous.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 07:32 PM) Not to mention wrongful terminiation. They are independent contractors. They were not employed by the Jets, but just contracted with to provide massage therapy services during training camp. Obviously I have not seen the complaint, but you've got to have a hell of a lot more proof than what was written in that article to prove sexual harassment. I'm not even sure a wrongful termination suit is possible when the employees in question are independent contractors. It probably isn't, since it does not appear they alleged that.

Should be a pretty good game tonight. Excited to see Taylor and Luck battle it out. I haven't been as impressed with Luck as everyone else apparently is. Maybe tonight he will change my mind.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 12:11 PM) I'm up to the middle of season 2 of my Mad Men marathon. Excellent show. Yes, it's one of the best shows on television. I've been watching Lie To Me. I am in love with Kelli Williams.

Ok, The Town has arrived in the mail. This will give me something to watch tonight after the Orange Bowl, or if the game ends up being a clunker. I am excited to see it. Another movie that came in the mail is The Disappearance of Alice Creed. Anyone see this yet?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 07:04 PM) I'm probably going to sell my bands and weights at some point since I think P90X has run its course with me. I am really in love with my local gym that does very similar functional strength programs. Well, before you do that, keep in mind, a new P90X is coming out soon. It will be called P90X:MC2 I think it's going to pull the best of the workouts from the One on One series and make it into the new P90X program.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 06:34 PM) It is if it happens in a place of or in the context of employment and is unwelcome. That's pretty much the definition of sexual harassment. Yeah, and you take these facts to court and try to sue Brett for sexual harassment and see if you win the case.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 05:29 PM) OH YEAH!!! And John Mayer too. I just looked up who Mayer was dating. The article referred to him as "the womanizing musician John Mayer." I nearly spit out my water.

Well I'm not saying you have no right to be angry as the husband of these women, but to file suit in court? That's just money grubbing. Do you think if I were to do this to these women they would file suit? So the guy is a pervert. It's not the best character trait, but give me a break, this is not a criminal offense.

I would like to take on Josh Brolin, Len Wiseman, and Paul Bettany.

Oh jeesh, Brett is a perve, but grow up ladies. How is this any different than Brett trying to hit on them in a bar? Give me a break.

Ahh, back at it again today. And not too proud of the shape I am in after taking most of the holidays off. It's definitely easier to get back into this after you've done it before, but yikes, am I out of shape.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 12:57 PM) We ended up purchasing a Highlander. Got it for about 5500 off sticker plus 0%. Replacing the wifes old car (2000 Isuzu Rodeo). Not sure how we ended up with 0% either, since it wasn't even an incentive, but my friends dad is a GM for a Toyota dealer and he hooked it up. The 0.0% is definitely something that tilts you towards new. Like Balta pointed out, I guess the question is very model specific. Depends on a lot of factors, including rarity of the model, how they hold their resale value, whether a new bodystyle has replaced the old one or any major changes have occurred, how well the new models are selling, what kind of financing offers are being made, etc. I guess you have to decide whether you want a particular car and are willing to pay for it, or if you just want the best deal on a decent car, and then you go from there.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) I went through both options and we just recently purchased a new car (week ago). Got a great deal. I actually looked at 2-3 year old vehicles but the difference in price was so miniscule that it really didn't make much sense to me. Difference was about 2500 verus the new price we got. Plus we got 0% interest which was nice. But I know there were other cars we were looking at, where we would have went the used route. I think it very much depends on the specific vehicle. Just curious Jason, what did you end up getting, if you don't mind me being a little nosey?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 12:39 PM) Following the Borass pattern, Soriano is going to either sign a one year high dollar deal, or a long term deal. If he can't find his long term deal, the pattern is to take the most money being offered for a single year and to get Soriano back on the market next year again. Agreed. He isn't signing some 2/$10 deal.
