  1. This makes me hate Leno even more for some reason.
  2. Can you believe George & Alex were both txt'n me shit during the game? They even got Joel in on it. Fuckers got quiet in the 4th quarter though.
  3. Wasn't this concept explored in this thread already? May have to merge them...
  4. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Good call on this one though. I obviously dug it a lot.
  5. Highest rated Super Bowl in 23 years! Not an easy feat considering The Who's snoozefest Halftime Show. Maybe Twnshend & Daltry should've had Timberlake rip off their shirts and expose their manboobs? Anyway, 43 years in the making: Black & Gold Super Bowl! Newt, here's how I want my guest room prepared for the next time I'm in MIA:
  6. Yeah, Jacob & There was an interview Darlton did on EW that touched on theories in physics of "pocket" or "island" universes. They said to look to that for answers about "what" the island may be. They also said don't look for such definitive answers on HOW the island works b/c they think that'd take away from the show as a whole. In interviews and podcasts they often reference avoiding sounding "midichlorian" --in reference to Lucas' lame attempt to explain the Force--when giving out answers tot he show. A good thing to avoid IMHO.
  7. New York, I Love You A This film is a pastiche of several short films about love in its various incarnations in NYC. If this premise sounds familiar that’s because it’s produced by the same people as Paris, Je T’Aime. New York, I Love You has more A-List clout (James Caan, Orlando Bloom, Shia LeBouf, Christina Ricci, Ethan Hawk, Natalie Portman, Andy Garcia, Bradley Cooper, and many more) and the short films interweave much more fluidly than its Parisian predecessor. It’s a magical movie experience with a lot of humor, a lot of heart, and a slight wisp of sadness thrown in for good measure (no such thing as love without sorrow to some degree). Bottom line is you don’t have to love New York in order to love this film—but it doesn’t hurt. City of God A I’m late to the party on this 2002 South American version of Goodfellas in Rio. Like Scorsese’s film, this is also based on real life gangsters, but City of God has a desperation and gritty rawness to it that Goodfellas’ did not. Don’t misunderstand me, this is not a cheap knockoff of Scorsese. The characters are engaging and the narrative is enthralling. A truly great gangster film worthy of a place alongside the other genre greats on your shelf. Big thanks to DOJ for the recommendation on this one! Payback [Director’s Cut] A- I vaguely remember anything more than Lucy Liu as a dominatrix in the theatrical version, but the director’s cut is a different beast altogether. I looked up this Director’s Cut of the 1999 film based on Baytor’s recommendation and am I ever glad I did. This is a modern day crime noir revenge flick where Mel Gibson plays a hard as nails crook who has little more to live for than his principles and his mission to get the money he’s owed. My only complaint is the James Brown song of the same name was nowhere to be found. The Reader B The film got attention for Kate Winslet’s Oscar winning performance as a former Nazi concentration camp guard trying to live with the shame of her past. The film’s climactic courtroom scene is a big “Really? Are you serious?” kind of melodramatic moment that feels like it’s just there to serve the purpose of setting up the circumstances for the third act to unfold. It has an interesting premise and at its heart it’s a slow-paced May-December tale of romance and reconciliation with surprisingly less substance than one would expect from an Oscar winning film based on an international best-seller novel.
  8. Darlton said the mystery of Sayid's sudden return in the season opener will be explained fairly soon--like in the next few episodes. Some think he
  9. I'm listening now as I DL from piratebay. Yes, magical.
  10. I wouldn't call 12million people sad. I think the avg. number of viewers per episode last season was 7.5 million. So they picked up 4million people for the premiere. No small feat in a world of bitorrernt, DVRs, and TiVO. All I know is they're still raising more questions than giving answers. There're 16 episodes left, so, ya know. Get crackin' Darlton!
  11. Gawdamnit I wish I was in MIA this weekend. . .
  12. NZA really needs to do a post for her in the hot chicks thread. She's totally replaced Thandie Newton in my spankbank. TMI?
  13. then the sexual harassment (calling a femal cop "sugar tits") and the drunk driving, and the divorce . . . not very Christian behavior for mr. jesus-movie-maker who builds a frickin' church on his property. good actor/director, but an utter twathat.
  14. i think the interviewer asked a fair question. it's been 8 years since gibson acted and his public perception has changed drastically. mel pretended to not understand the question and the guy elaborated. gibson=twathat.
  15. S6E1: confused? Click here for some explanations from Darlton. I loved this episode. So everyone was proven right about And fuck you Darlton for making me watch
  16. wow. mel gibson is a giant fucking twat.
  17. yeah, running into burning buildings is much safer. and that clip is one of the greatest things ever. who fucking has a conversation at work w/ someone while they look at porn--other than this guy & NZA/JZA?? his look of realization into the camera at the very end of the report is fucking priceless!
  18. Yep. I understand as you can lose track when you only DL your TV shows.
  19. Christalmighty, w/ playlist suggestions like these I'll never get motivated to hit the gym. SRSLY ppl, it's almost as bad as Custer's Preacher playlist up in here.
  20. The Office Parks & Recreation Community And the occasional episode of The Biggest Loser. I'm pretty meh on all the Law&Order shows. But yeah, that's about all they got going in Prime Time. Southland was an excellent cop drama, but they fucked that one up by canceling it for Leno's prime-time fail.
  21. i think there's like 12 or so different workouts w/ P90X. most of it seemed to be equipment free. it was last summer when he actually lent me the DVDs and i was all elwood blues--fuck this noise--wheni perused 'em. so my recall isn't 100%. it's mainly timed exercises w/ increased repetitions and some alternate exercises or positioning as your level increases. some did use free weights and i do want to say one used a pull-up bar, but i could be wrong...
  22. nick is waaaaaaay too stoked about blargh! 1k.
