        You guys are making me want to turn off Tin Cup and watch it instead. -- nm - David Dec 23, 10:42
      - I paid in theater and was laughing at how ridiculously 80s it was. Good/bad in that respect. -- nm - Max Dec 23, 10:39
      - I've watched it like six times. It's a near perfect B movie. -- nm - David Dec 23, 10:36 4
        
        Im going to have to watch it again. -- nm - Jovian Dec 23, 10:38
        
        this. plus Guy Pierce is great too -- nm - Beaker Dec 23, 10:37 1

    - ditto. if I had the money, I would short their stock -- nm - Black Peter Dec 23, 10:05
    - I think it was fairly one-sided, but even still. - JaxSean Dec 23, 10:01 3
      - it is one of those things, that I never, ever thought about. - groiny Dec 23, 10:14 2
        
        right. -- nm - znufrii Dec 23, 10:38
        
        yep. I don't think I'd have the same reaction to 'Black Angus'. Plus it seems like SW's an incredibly fly-by-night operation. Makes you wonder about - Max Dec 23, 10:31
    - yup. -- nm - znufrii Dec 23, 09:59
Bery - I was being a bit more snarky admittedly than you. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 23, 09:50
