Watched Dario Argento's Inferno on Bluray. It was a good film although I didn't love it. Score by Keith Emerson (of Emerson, Lake and Palmer) was great.
#1302 Re: Management » MyGNR closing for business » 812 weeks ago
This post was funny:
"Continue to do a shite job, Eric. Thanks for nothing."
Yeah, the whole thing was a big fuck up. The mods don't know what's going on. That UKsub's seems to have gotten a raw deal and it all comes down to some dude with hurt feelings that GNR and Axl have been ignoring him. My gut tells me that making this desperate, dramatic move (keeping the forum open after saying it was done) was just to see if he'd get some attention from the band. My guess is that the band is behind keeping it open.
And reading that forum, the admin of gunsnfnroses is a tool.
This is pretty much what I think happened too. He didn't get the Jarmo style perks that he wanted and he had to deal with that wasteland of a message board. So he pulls this ploy and gets the attention (and money) that he wanted.
It's really a shame though that message boards are meant to stimulate discussions and not stifle them. If GNR owns another board, that means there are less places to objectively discuss the band.
Oh well, Thank god for this site.:mosh:

Watched a bunch of films lately
The Godfather Parts 1 and 2 on bluray. Here's a suprise for me, for the longest time I've prefered the first part since I've seen it several times. I last saw Part II around ten years ago. After watching both of these films in the last two weeks, I think I prefer the second one now. The story is a tad better and the "prequel" section of the film was actually quite better than I remember it. Al Pacino shows more of his acting chops in the second one. Only gripe is that it's a little too long for my taste at 3hrs 20 minutes. They could have also used Diane Keaton more in the film and cut back on some of the casino/Roth plotline.
I still enjoyed the first one but I gained a bigger appreciation for the second one.
Confessions (2010)--one of the nine Oscar nominated foreign films. Very good. Depends on a different structure than most films. It's somewhat bleak in tone and appearance. Reminds me a little of Oldboy in terms of plot structure and theme.
I Saw the Devil (2010)--Directed by the guy who did "A Tale of Two Sisters". This one probably could be the fourth part of Park's Vengeance series. Stars Min Sik Choi (from Oldboy and Lady Vengeance) and is an extremely bloody film. Not much character development but that's a minor gripe. I saw the cut version and that was quite bloody. James Lofton should enjoy this one.

Unless this culminates in a Wrestlemania match next year in Miami, the Rock is doing this just to pop buy rates for this year's Wrestlemania. I have to admit some of these quotes by the Rock are just gold though. His potential involvement in the Miz/Cena is the only thing that makes me wanna watch that match.
#1305 Re: The Sunset Strip » Charlie Sheen is the fucking man! » 818 weeks ago
I have to admit Sheen comes off looking like a genius here. He could just sell fucking merchandise with t-shirts with all his various sayings and just make a shitload of money off of that. He could probably score a reality show as well. Hell he could also make a shitload of money off of being a motivational speaker as well.
However, I wouldn't expect him to be starring in any scripted tv shows anytime soon. The insurance premiums are just too high. He might be able to do some supporting movie roles too assuming his ego can handle that.
#1306 Re: The Sunset Strip » Charlie Sheen is the fucking man! » 819 weeks ago
The guy seems to be totally happy with what he's doing, which because it's not the social norm, I don't see at all why he shouldn't be allowed to do it. It's like CBS is forcing him to fall in with the status quo to protect their business investment.
If the guy wants to do drugs, and keep a stable of girls, all while continuing to be a pretty decent comedic actor and action lead - I don't see a problem with that at all.
Good point. It's not like CBS didn't know about all his drug issues when they hired him to do the show. I'd be pretty happy with getting 8 years of relatively stable production out of Sheen.
Although watching the NBC interview today, he looks like he needs help. I think his kids might be the only thing that could force him to change at this point. He ended up bashing his dad in an interview today.

She's an actress. I looked it up on imdb.
#1308 Re: The Sunset Strip » Charlie Sheen is the fucking man! » 819 weeks ago
"Sheen has now left the USA and is vacationing on a private island in the Bahamas with his ex-wife and a prostitute."
The man.
Actually from what I read somewhere else, it's his ex-wife, porn star Bree Olson, and his current girlfriend, Natalie Kenly.
Here's a photo of Charlie with all three women. Bree Olson is the one on the bottom.

Well, who knows? I would suppose a gag order would not allow him to post anything at all on a message board though. Especially telling fans off.
Also I'd think DJ couldn't speak about tour or album plans, which he has.
Probably not a literal gag order, just an implied one. Talk about anything of consequence and you're fired.
Just saw a post by Ron where he said the current band is Axl's 25 year vision. LMFAO.
Yeah, they always speak in vague terms. I bet if you ask them about how the music was put together and how the general day to day operations of the band are they would be silent.
#1310 Re: The Garden » Cameron (Cam) Newton - Auburn Tigers » 820 weeks ago
Did you see he just signed that huge endorsement deal? Insane.
I think he could be a more stable Vince Young. I'd want to compare him to Tebow, but Cam's a much better athlete, but Time is a better leader. Both aren't great QB's, but at least Tebow stayed in college like he should have to get better and really seems like he's honestly trying to be a better player.
And this is coming from an FSU and "da U" fan.
Shit, the Titans have a good chance of taking him if he is there at #8. Hell if any of the top two qbs (Newton or Gabbert) are available they will take one of them. The only way that Newton is passed is if he flunks out his wonderlic. The new OC and coach are placing a premium on making audibles and OL calls by the QB. I'm praying both those guys are off the board. He's also working with Warren Moon (former Oiler HOF) and given the way the new coach has basically hired a whole bunch of people who used to be Houston Oilers there's another connection. I'd hate a potential Newton pick for 5 seconds. Newton has good mechanics compared to Young although he's thrown a lot less passes.
BUF, ARZ, SF, CIN (if Palmer retires) are all likely landing spots for the top 2 qbs.
Since you mention FSU, what's your opinion on Christian Ponder? I think the Titans are interested in him and he sounds like a good pick in the early 2nd round.
BTW, I wouldn't worry about the Dolphins picking Newton, he'll be long gone by #15 unless they trade up. If they do that the logical team to trade with would be CLE, since both SF and TEN have huge qb needs. If AJ Green is still there at #6 there is NO fucking chance I move down if I'm CLE unless someones forks over a ransom.
