#691 Re: The Garden » 2008 NFL season » 932 weeks ago
Something has to be done about the Lions. They have been a shit stain for decades, but an 0-16 record shows that its time for desperate measures. The team needs to be revamped from top to bottom, and I don't think the NFL should rule out moving them(Los Angeles?) or changing their name.
I can't remember who it was, but someone on one of the pregame shows a couple weeks ago when answering the question "What do the Lions need to do to turn things around?" replied:
"You start at the front gate of the complex, and you fire the security guard, then you work your way up from there. They need to completely clean house."
I laughed, but it's pretty accurate.

Catcher I guess
There's about 3 that are around the same level here for me.

We got ice here last night. I went outside to start scraping the shell off of my car at 7:30 this morning, then got home from work at 7:30 tonight. Neemo, I feel your pain.
Ok, not really... I live in an apartment and didn't have to shovel, it was done when I got home, but you know what I'm sayin...

The Sun tabloid in Britain is the one that started the Eddie Murphy rumor. It is utter bullshit.
Thanks, If I'd had known it came from the Sun I never would have even posted it. I only did because the "AP" was at the end of it where I saw it. I had no idea the Associated Press picked up on shit like that.

Eddie Murphy is to play super-villain The Ridder in the next Batman movie, it has been claimed.
The 47-year-old comic actor is reportedly taking on the villainous role for the latest installment in director Christopher Nolan's interpretation of the comic books, due to be released in 2010.
A film insider said: "Eddie's a fantastic addition. Everyone's excited to see what he does as The Riddler."
The actor's expected involvement in the project is the first clear indication of Christopher's intention to shoot a third Batman movie.
The source continued to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Chris wasn't sure if he wanted to do another movie but as soon as he decided to, he got the wheels in motion."
Eddie isn't the first actor to be linked to the latest incarnation of The Riddler - a manic super-villain who baffles Batman with his cryptic criminal clues and first appeared in the comics in 1948.
Earlier this year, Johnny Depp was hotly-tipped to have landed the role, previously played by Jim Carrey in 1995 film Batman Forever.
AdvertisementIt has also been claimed British actress Rachel Weisz is in the running for the seductive role of Catwoman.
Resuming their fight against crime in Gotham City are Christian Bale, who portrays Batman, and Sir Michael Caine who plays butler Alfred.

Communist China wrote:I can't take the Serial Killer lyrics or the kids singing parts of it. "I'll murder your heart" is so embarrassing.
yeah the guitar itself is cool tho....here is some random you tube dude playing the solo...it's a great solo the way it builds.
Yeah, the kids are a little wierd, and the lyrics aren't anything fantastic (but it's not like he moved onto a great lyricist with Weiland), but that's my favorite song on that album by quite a bit. It's musically fantastic.
That album as a whole doesn't get a lot of love, but it's not that it's bad, it's just different. If it were that different and a phenomenal album I think people would let him get away with it, but it's different and just pretty good.
#698 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Chart Positions Thread » 935 weeks ago
This is the point where Slash, Duff, Izzy, and Matt would have taken the reigns and promoted the living hell out of this. Just like they did with UYI. Axl did not promote that album. Most of the media attention regarding him was in the build up to UYI. When crunch time hit, the band members stepped up to the plate.
You know, I hadn't really thought about that until you said it, but you're right. If I think back to 1991 it was Slash and Duff who were on Mtv all the time. If it was Axl it was just a taped interview with Kurt Loder. (As a friend of mine has said for years "Kurt Loder sucks Axl's dick better than anyone, and I don't mean that as a gay joke, Kurt Loder sucks Madonna's dick too".)
Point is, Axl was usually in a room with Loder and a cameraman, but Slash and Duff were anywhere people would let them go. Even if you watch the special intro to their own Pay per view, which sounds like it was largely Axl's idea. It's in-depth/entertaining inverviews with Slash, Duff, and Gilby, but if I remember right you never even see Axl.

Scraped by about 1000% for me. Next round I'm not sure already.
