The difference is Vin Diesel has a fan base. Sure he blew his shot to be an A lister back with Riddick 2 and Triple X, but he's the kind of actor who can always eek out a respectable living doing lesser action flicks. What does Walker have without FF? Obviously they're both extremely lucky to be part of these films but at least Diesel has the potential to have something of a career after this. At best Walker is looking at Chad Everett territory.

I'm not too sure about that. Of course they don't want you to grow it yourself, but like with alcohol and cigarettes the vast majority of people tend not to bother when they can get a finished product at the store. I'm thinking they'll allow it since it doesn't matter much anyways. Either way they can't put people in jail for it if the product becomes legal. I'm guessing a fine, maybe probation. And that'll work for most connoisseurs I think.

Definitely not buying any Monsanto weed though. God knows what kind of crap they'll put into it.

Just as I thought we were heading for a summer without any international football.

Of course, it's more a friendly knockout than it is a proper tournament but it'll be worth it just to watch Neymar. I general I'm looking forward to gauging the quality of the teams. Spain and Brazil along with Germany look to be the favorites for the next cup. Spain might be declining though, and I only mention Brazil because of the home advantage and their history. From what I've heard their team is not very strong these days. Italy is always a contender but the team is very old and having the tournament outside of Europe could mean an early exit for them. Argentina needs Messi to step up.

I think Germany will take it this time around. Great, young team. Many of the players will be fresh European champions and with 18 years since their last cup win it feels overdue (24 years in the WC).

From a PR standpoint I have no idea why they released that. Enjoyed it though, for very much the same reasons as you monkey. Not often you see bands put themselves on the spot like that. But again, it really makes them look so bad I still have no idea why they did it. After watching it Hetfield has basically gone from badass rocker to insecure drunk, Lars too is insecure and a bit of antagonistic asshole. Doesn't seem particularly intelligent either. Hammet is revealed as the feminine doormat. I'm actually quite shocked they saw that on tape and thought, sure let's release this, it will be good for our image!
