  • Why was JJ in the closing minutes of the game? Pietrus in foul trouble all game + hoping he'd hit open 3s to take pressure off Turk/Lewis
  • If the book needs to be read for cats to like this i dont know if it lives up to the hype. 2 different animals. Why judge by the same standards? It's hard not to when Snyder seemed to be more in love with trying to stuff as many details from the bo…
  • Still haven't seen The Wrestler but plan to, despite pledging to never watch anything Aronovsky related. For what it's worth, The Wrestler is the only Aronofsky film I've liked, and that's mainly because there's you don't really feel he's present - …
  • Has it even been a decade since that made for cable remake? ... Huh. Google tells me it's been 11 years. Carry on.
  • Well, I'd certainly put Rice over Justice, who had some very inconsistent years and hit sub-.280 career. And Luis Gonzalez was a great hitter for a time, but unfortunately only really distinguished himself when his career was half over (wink wink). …
  • That's the problem with the extinction period between the last year of a hall-eligible player's career and he first ballot; the Hall Committee tends to focus solely on stats. Jim Rice was the unquestioned leader of the BoSox; yes, more than Wade Bog…
  • I'd have to agree with Rock about Rice being fringe-y at best. Things like being in the top 5 in AL MVP voting for 6 years doesn't mean much when that process is just as broken and convoluted as HoF balloting. It's not a travesty, considering how …
  • /font1font class="small"1Quote:/font1h, 21b, 21i think the watchmen is brilliant. when it came out in the 80s there was nothing like it. so much has been lifted from there over the years.b, 21b, 21i am concerned that the film cannot compare b, 21b, …
  • The NBA needs to chop off about 10 franchises. I wouldn't say 10, more like 4 or 6, but basically I agree. The talent pool is diluted. The problem was just as bad when there were 23 teams in the 80s. I think it's not so much the talent pool is dil…
  • Does All-Star Superman really pick up? I've only read the first trade. I'm still learning, reading, and appreciating more comics from the 50s-70s, and when I read the first trade, it kinda felt like listening to a retro-soul group...technically pro…

  • Cosign on Going Sane. I never cared too much for The Killing Joke. It's much more violent and whatnot than Going Sane, but GS feels like it's an adult story on an intellectual and emotional level...something I don't really get from KJ.b, 21b, 21Cri…

  • Baseball feels so hollow before June. Not that there aren't good games or drama, but until it's the summer things just don't feel that serious yet. As a Marlins fan, I need to savor these days in first place while I still can.
  • I'm just giddy that my team is relevant again, and should be for years to come. Here's hoping 76ers/Pistons is pushed to game 7.
  • I was almost about to disagree that nobody outside of Magic/Raptors fans care about that series, then I saw that games 2 and 3 are on NBA TV. Oh well. At least the Magic are getting off to an amazing start.
  • where can i get the Malcolm Cotto 10" only link provided here was dead and where i work never restocked it is it safe to say it is no more?? I bought my copy from fatbeats.com a few weeks ago; they still seem to have some in stock.
  • I'm a Marlins fan, so this year is all about watching the bevy of young arms + Hermida/Maybin/Ramirez mature and potentially play spoiler again. 2009/2010 should be when the team can make another playoff run in the 2003 team mold (built on pitching …
  • The Linksys WRT54G is a solid, inexpensive, and easy to find unit. Yes, yes and yes. You don't need expensive shit Batmon. I've been using the WRT54G with both my Macs with no problemos. The company I work for uses them as access points in their sto…
  • And Fran Tarkenton? No way a dude who lost four Super Bowls gets on the all-time list. You gonna ride for Jim Kelly too? Nice players, but not in the pantheon. It makes more sense to consider them than Super Bowl winners like Trent Dilfer and Brad J…

  • Dude is the Carl Yastrzemski of quarterbacks. A good player, but not the best by any means. Not even in the top five. His numbers are predominantly based on career longevity...... .......and some damn good/underrated receivers to throw to. Please…
  • 49ers have made a bunch of misc. depth and vet mentor signings so far. I'm still waiting for them to seal the deal on Bengals DE Justin Smith as their top signing this offseason.
  • [rant] Steve (or Nick known by some) is a world class lowlife douchebag IMHO. It sickens me now that I am removed from the "digging" scene that I once sweated this dude for his records. He would set up around 1 PM when he was allowed to sell at L…
  • Great film, enjoy! Funny how growing up Turner was a name synonymous with colorization and otherwise bastardizing film catalogs, and now that channel is a hallmark of quality. Taped a lot of great, n/a films noir off that channel before my VCR gave…
  • Yeah, all the major P2P streaming software (Sopcast, PPMate, TVU, etc.) is PC only. For listings/software setup, check: http://myp2p.eu/
  • I know the inevitable Apatow backlash is taking the world by storm, but it'll pass. Not until well after this is released: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0960144/ As an aside, I have high hopes for Pineapple Express because I love David Gordon Green.
  • A lot of smart critics, J Hoberman for instance, are arguing that this was the best year for mainstream cinema in a long time. I agree All it takes is one shitty Michael Bey to ruin a year though... Yeah, I find it hard to say one year is particu…
  • Do not sully the greatness of Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison by implying it's interchangable with shit like Waterboy. billy madison is played by happy gilmore. i'm not saying there aren't some funny pars in any of his movies, its just the same s…
  • I said "great" and you started your list with Clueless? I swear to blog!
  • Do not sully the greatness of Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison by implying it's interchangable with shit like Waterboy. To me, it's similar to Michael Bay's career arc. He has a couple really enjoyable Hollywood summer blockbusters under his belt…
  • What were the great Hollywood comedies of the 90s again? There's Something About Mary and... I guess you could argue for Clueless, Friday, Wayne's World 1 & 2, Waiting For Guffman, Happy Gilmore, Dumb & Dumber, Office Space, Army of Darkn…
