Go Phils.

Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock

Go, someone!

I’m just happy there’s baseball on tonight!

Same here...

the network football games today were boring for the most part…NO/NY didn’t live up to the hype…that NE/Ten game was a joke…

Seriously

What’s up with those thin pieces of rubber that stick out on the facing of new tires?

Am i the only person who is obsessed with pulling those things off at any chance?

Yeah...what's up with those things? Never thought about them until now...

Soooo….anyone go to the State Fair this year?

I did

$10 parking
$15 ticket
$20 coupons

Then when I went to the gaming booths, they told me they didn’t take coupons

All of the food vendors (except for the dollar hot dog place)

We love going to the food “building” to get samples and get the $1 Borden milk..that and the dollar hot dogs are the best deals there.

Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

Last night I watched Raising Arizona

Right now Dick Tracy is playing on my laptop.

And I just realized that Gale from Raising Arizona is the same guy playing Flattop

No

But I loved his work in Crimson Tide

I went and looked it up

Forgot that it was him. He’s been a ton of stuff, usually as a simpleton or a thug (or both).

Pop quiz

Which movie had a longer pre-opening-credits sequence…

Raising Arizona or Leaving Las Vegas?

Leaving Las Vegas

Ding ding ding

15 minutes.

Raising Arizona was a hair under 11 minutes.

My favorite part is when Nicolas Cage is 'trying out' the kids

There’s a part where there’s nothing but silence, and then a quick cut-away of a kid crawling away accompanied with a jarring streak of synthesizer

One of the funniest pieces of cinema I’ve ever seen

by oc on Oct 18, 2009 8:58 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Meanwhile

Dick Tracy is just a beautiful movie

The art direction, cinematography and color correction make the picture just beautiful

Did you like 300 and Sin City?

I loved the look of those movies. I also liked the Sleepy Hollow…I thought that was visually stunning. Not to mention Christopher Walken looked creepier than usual.

by GhostofSteveFoucault on Oct 18, 2009 9:18 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

300's glow effect just

a little overdone to me. Sin City was really well done.

I especially like the art direction in the Chinese films such as Hero, House of Flying Daggers and Crouching Tiger. They are beautiful.

Sigh,

I hate games that are over in the first couple innings.

I'll play

Best: I’ma have to go with Jolly Ranchers since I can’t have them until I get my braces off.
Worst: I am RIGHT THERE with you on those nasty peanut butter things. DISGUSTING!

I used to work with a lady who would ask me to bring those

from my kids’ candy buckets because she loved them…I guess she was the one….

And I thought this game was ugly before. Anyone still watching it?

Unless we blow him away

by bet is he goes to a large market team. The Mariners have an outside shot if you ask me.

Ain't that always the way of it

With the Japanese FA’s/posters?
