#1451 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Horror Movie You've Seen.... » 858 weeks ago
I watched The Final a couple days ago. A film from that After Dark horror fest. Basically about these teens getting revenge on some bullies. I like the concept, but it falls flat and too much potential wasted. The girl that's bullied is miscast as she would fit in with the clique that harasses her. They should have cast a geeky looking chick in the role.
Don't remember the name of that one bully, but she is the worst actress I've ever seen. Her friends are getting tortured literally a few feet away and she shows no emotion whatsoever. Unbelievable that she was cast in the film.
I wanted to throw my tv out the window during the scene where they rip off Audition.
Which Audition scene did they rip off?

Thursday (1998) Funny violent drug film with Thomas Jane, Mickey Rourke, Aaron Echkhart. Paula Porkoziva (spelling?) had a couple of great scenes (and gets nude too!).

pakidude - "we are coming to your neighborhood to give free estimates for windows in the next week and were wondering if you are interested"
Me - "no thanks"
dude - "did you recently have your windows replaced?"
Me - "No i jut moved here last year though"
dude - " is it a new house or an older one?"
Me - "well if you plan on coming to my neighborhood dont you know the ages of the houses here?" *click*
I used to get a lot of those but since registering with the DNC thing they have reduced significantly. What still stinks is that the credit card I have sometimes still calls and tries to offer their shitty overpriced products in deceptive fashion.
Regarding the solicitors, I usually get the religious types but what I noticed works really well is to just look like you just got out of bed. That way they go away quickly since you look all tired and stuff. Prentending you have some minor illness (a cold) works as well.
#1454 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl fires back at Irv with lawsuit » 860 weeks ago
Axl does make some good points on the entire merger anti-trust violations on the Tickemaster/Live Nation. However, I am still baffled as to why he didn't can Azoff earlier if he was this unhappy following the GH Activision or any of the stuff following Chinese Democracy. If he was that miserable, he should have just had hired new management instead.
The lack of video content shouldn't be blamed on Azoff either (ie the Better video) as I'm pretty sure putting together a bunch of live clips don't cost that much.
I think that while he does have some valid complaints, Azoff is also a convient guy for Axl to blame some of his troubles on.

They're also redoing "Real Genius" the 1980s cult Val Kilmer film. And I think a sequel to Wall Street.

McCourty is a good CB (blocked a bunch of kicks on special teams too). Apparently, the other CB Kyle Wilson rubbed a bunch of teams the wrong way with his demeanor. He went to the Jets (how many questionable guys do they need). Only confusing part about the Pats is that they had a bunch of picks and still traded down. I think they have 13 (or more) picks. My guess they'll trade up with some of that currency and down too. I wouldn't be suprised if they traded one of their second rounders for a future #1 (probably next year). So that'll give them 3 #1's next year. Perfect for reloading.
There are still a bunch of pass rushers available--Sergio Kindle, Everson Griffen, Ricky Sapp--and they can move up with their picks to get one. To be honest, the WR prospects are mostly 2-4 round guys and after the first two there's a drop off. I think they weren't convinced on either guy (Thomas, Bryant). Thomas is raw and will take some time to develp. Bryant has attitude issues.
I really thought that they would have taken Jerry Hughes as he fits them well. I'm kind of peeved that the Colts took him though.
#1457 Re: The Garden » The 2010-11 NFL Season Thread » 863 weeks ago
There are still a few good tackles left--Saffold, Brown and Jared Verdheer. Detroit traded up to #30 and the Vikings should take something other than an OT. Unfortunately, KC will probably take one. Bruce Campbell is still on the board but man his film isn't very good and his claim to fame is running a 4.85 at the combine.
The real shocker for me was Tyson Alualu at #10 to JAX. He was projected at best to go in the 20s. I actually liked OAK picking Rolando McClain. He's a very good football player.
PaSnow,
Graham is a beast with the best pass rushing moves in the draft. He'll be fine.
Actually it could have been worse, BUF was interested in trading back into the 1st round to nab Tebow. Luckily, DEN saved them from that. Clausen at least knows how to throw the ball in a pro style offense. DEN now has Quinn, Kyle Orton and Tebow. WTF?
#1458 Re: The Garden » The 2010-11 NFL Season Thread » 863 weeks ago
Draft starts tomorrow at 7:30pm est. To be honest, I liked the old format where I could just blow off a bunch of hours on Saturday to watch this. I'll have to tape this one and watch it later.
TEN has an interesting schedule too. 3 out of 4 home games to start out. And something like 5 or 6 consecutive division games to end the season. That could work to their advantage if the division stinks.
2 Night games is managable PIT and DAL (and others) have like 5.
It's great that their not skipping a game due to the World Series. The NFL is king (of professional sports) in the US and has surpassed MLB anyway.
#1459 Re: The Garden » The 2009 NFL Season Thread » 865 weeks ago
The Pittsburgh Steelers traded troubled wide receiver Santonio Holmes to the New York Jets for a fifth-round pick in next week's NFL draft, sources confirmed Sunday night.
ESPN 1050 in New York first reported the story. Holmes was contacted late Sunday and told that he had been traded to New York, sources said.
Holmes is facing a civil lawsuit in Florida from a woman who claims he threw a glass at her, cutting her above the eye, in an Orlando nightclub. The police also have been investigating the woman's claims. Holmes denies hurting the woman, and a witness has since taken responsibility for tossing the glass, according to Holmes' lawyer.
The player has run into trouble before this offseason. He was cited for marijuana possession, a misdemeanor, in Pennsylvania in 2008. The Steelers made Holmes inactive for the game following the incident and he subsequently apologized. In 2006, he was arrested on a domestic violence charge in Ohio, but that charge was later dropped.
In four seasons in Pittsburgh, the 26-year-old Holmes -- the MVP of the 2009 Super Bowl -- had 235 catches for 3,835 yards and 20 touchdowns.
In New York, Holmes gives quarterback Mark Sanchez another big-time target to throw to in an offense that already had Braylon Edwards, Jerricho Cotchery, promising tight end Dustin Keller and recently signed running back LaDainian Tomlinson.
Information from ESPN.com senior NFL writer John Clayton, ESPN.com AFC East blogger Tim Graham and The Associated Press was used in this report.

What the story doesn't say is that Holmes is likely to be given a 4 week suspension for a positive drug test(s)/ substance abuse violations. Still a 5th rounder is real cheap for a player of his calibur.
Luckily for the rest of the AFC, these bring in a bunch of big names in the offseason and hope to make a Super Bowl run plans almost never work. I'm not convinced that LT is an upgrade to Thomas Jones as well.
I like to rag on the Steelers but as long as their defense is still dominant they'll be in every game. This is assuming that Rothlesiberger doesn't miss a lot of time.
#1460 Re: The Sunset Strip » Robert Pattison Set to Play Kurt Cobain » 865 weeks ago
He was great in Legends of the Fall. I always forget about that film for some reason. I got some great laughs out of Burn after Reading. The only film I didn't like was Oceans 12 but almost everyone sucked in that film so its not really his fault.
