Porn makes you feel so much more patriotic when there's a flag in the background, don't you think?

Porn is so much better when it's set outdoors, don't you think?

Dude, he gave the 5 to glitter as a *joke*. Read the review, and you'll see. Basically he was like, "yeah, the movie is crap and Mariah's a talentless skank but she's fuckable so I don;t care" My favorites of the reviews in his archives are Glitter, Gladiator, and Crouching Tiger (where he shows that he really does know what makes a movie good). Also Jim Carey's Grich where he gives that movie the shaft it so richly deserves.

I came across this guy and thought "WOW. Finally I can get through the bullshit." I don't always agree with his analysis or verdict but the points he brings up are always spot on. http://bigempire.com/filthy/ his review of Bond 20 for example goes against everyone else's but that's good cuz nothing's perfect and balance is required. Oh yeah, he dislikes Kevin Smith and comic books too, so a lot of people on the board will be offended. But like I said, even though he disagrees with you as a reader, you can respect him cuz he's got good reasons for his opinions (Well except for the comic book thing. He seems to have a pathological hatred of us comic book geeks based on nothing but perception) His 'Quote Whore' sidebar is great.

I believe myUncle Adam said it best: "God bless the man who invented Coca-Cola"

http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/12/09/rawh....gay/index.html What's wierd is that I first read Rawhide kid when marvel tried to bring him back in the eighties. There was a great scene where the kid is hanging of the top of a train. I recommended the book to IC and often thought that If I got to be a comics writer I'd bring the Kid back. But this is way different from what I ever imagined. Tha article has a point about the changing the character though. I understand the original Rawhide kid was a carefree Robin Hood type (which might fit the new campy style) but the Kid I read was a bout an older cynical gunfighter.

Anyone seen this series? cuz it looks interesting as hell. http://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/01/opinion/01SUN3.html Username: drunkennews password: pinky

Top Ten Ways to Freak Out Your Roommate 10) Collect potatoes. Paint faces on them and give them names. Name one after your roommate. Separate your roommate's potato from the others. Wait a few days, and then bake your roommate's potato and eat it. Explain to your roommate, ''He just didn't belong.'' 9) Move everything to one side of the room. Ask your roommate if he knows how much an elephant weighs, and look at the floor on the empty side of the room with concern. 8) Draw a tiny black line on your nose. Make it bigger every day. Look at it and say, ''The hair, it's growing. Growing!'' 7) Buy some knives. Sharpen them every night. While you're doing so, look at your roommate and mutter, ''Soon, soon....'' 6) Collect hundreds of pens and pile them on one side of the room. Keep one pencil on the other side of the room. Laugh at the pencil. 5) Tell your roommate, ''I've got an important message for you.'' Then pretend to faint. When you recover, say you can't remember what the message was. Later on, say, ''Oh, yeah, I remember!'' Pretend to faint again. Keep this up for several weeks. 4) While your roommate is out, glue your shoes to the ceiling. When your roommate walks in, sit on the floor, hold your head, and moan. 3) Make a sandwich. Don't eat it, leave it on the floor. Ignore the sandwich. Wait until your roommate gets rid of it, and then say, ''Hey, where the heck is my sandwich!?'' Complain loudly that you are hungry. 2) Every time your roommate walks in yell, ''Hooray! You're back!'' as loud as you can and dance around the room for five minutes. Afterwards, keep looking at your watch and saying, ''Shouldn't you be going somewhere?'' 1) Talk back to your Rice Krispies. All of a sudden, act offended, throw the bowl on the floor and kick it. Refuse to clean it up, explaining, ''No, I want to watch them suffer.'''

Something in my room smells funny. I wonder if it's related to that tentacle I saw in my trash can earlier?

Well, that was weird and scary... I was watching some Bollywood musical numbers on TV, waiting for the Turkey-Korea game to start and I put the tv on mute and started playing some Linkin Park on the computer. When I looked up the video and the song were in sync. ANd then when another Video started and Led Zepellin came on, they were in sync again. ANd yet again with the Ozzy Osbourne song after that... I gotta try this the next time I'm on acid.....

I just remembered.... Rainy vacation camping trip theme... "Somehow, I know this is all designed to build character..."

I never saw their *final* fight I did see the one in the middle of the storyline where Magneto loses. BUt because Magneto's supposed to be 1/2 strength It's very easy to see him getting beat. It was a cop out because the fight was 'fixed'. We didn't get to see Magneto lose fair and square.

"I see your Shwartz is as big as mine" "...unlike other Robin Hoods, I speak with an English accent"

Name: Jumbie Looks: Translucent blue and glowing Theme music: Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song Powers: flight (Is that possible in the engine?) Telekinetic Mind Blasts, no weapons Character Classes: Flesh Eater, Blood Drinker and Soul Stealer Background: Jumbie was granted a special dispensation by the powers-that-be to return to the mortal realm and take care of some unfinished business. This was granted because of extenuating circumstances: He'd died a virgin.

Engerlund, Engerlund... I'm watching Sweden vs Senegal right now. I'm backing Senegal to win. Hey, is the World cup theme song on CD or avaiable anywhere? It's cool music, I'd like to have it. Goddamn!!!!! Sweden just scored. shit.

Has anyone seen the Pepsi commercial for the world cup with Backham and some Sumo wrestlers? It's hilarious and I was wondering if anyone's seen it online. I can't download stuff on account of my shitty internet connection. Hopefull someone can download it and hold on to it till I get a better connection. I do have a great Nike soccer commercial with Ninjas and Figo and Gunga and a whole lot of other good players I can trade you back for it.

Yahve as the Idiot King. I love it. The overall quest can be to recover the sacred Goldshlager so as to end the King's curse and restore his intelligence. My character would be some kind of living dead... THat's what the word Jumbie means We need to have a muse/prophetess for our heroes... I propose HeartlessBitch. THe main villian has to be a Darkness spreading over the land, bringing ignorance, fear anf intolerance. Turning the KIng into an idiot was his first step. That's all the ideas I have for now... OH wait. Bacchus is taking a self imposed 'electronic vacation' and won't be posting for a while. IN his absence I propose his character to be a burro. A really horny burro.

They did meet, and fight, in 'Age of Apocalypse' but Magneto was 1/2 strength then (cuz he'd overloaded himself bringing down Poc's ship). I always felt that was a huge copout and wanted to know who would win this fight if they were both at their best. Magneto of course is a magentism master, but what exaclty are Apocalypse's abilities? Shapeshifting and strength seem to be the only ones... Another interesting matter. WHo will be the villian in XMen 2? They set it up for the return of Magneto and I guess they'll want to bring him back before Ian McKellan kicks the bucket. But there are rumours about Apocalypse. I'd rather see Apocalypse, tell you the truth... BTW: notice how almost all the characters have a way back for the sequel? I think that in that whole movie, only three people died. Hey, Artistic! I know you're semi retired, but I wann hear you on this one. (even though I know exactly how you're gonna vote)

Vive Le France! Vive Le France! HAHAHAHAHAH. I am sooo laughing my ass off. England are definitley feeling it. Too many injuries. Now my #1 and #2 rated (and #3 and #1 liked) teams are playing on Friday... England VS Argentina. It seems like every four years the Falklands war comes back to haunt us.

I look at it this way: If I had to face one of them I'd least want it to be Janice...

I gotta say I give this one to Phoebe. "She's from the streets, Yo!"

Seems like it won't be much of a fight, with CHandler and Ross being kinda wimpy. But I think that Ross has a kinda berserker rage thing going when he gets mad. Ever seen his eyes? ANd Chandler is such a raw ache of leftover childhood angst that I'm sure he's in a good mood to do some damage. Besides, Joey isn't that smart. The other two could trick him without too much trouble.
