So I should watch Almost Famous at some point, huh? -- nm - Will GhostHunting Oct 22, 13:09 15
- Just know going in that it's been ridiculously overhyped and it's a small film, not the big rock spectacle you might be expecting. -- nm - jnine Oct 22, 13:14
- well, it's in my top ten all-time. (nm) - Callisto Oct 22, 13:13 1
  - Mine too. Easy. -- nm - Qale Oct 22, 13:16

- and go to Volt -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 13:11 1
  - i might hit it up when i'm back home for xmas. just to be the first STer to try it -- nm - big time shamu Oct 22, 13:13
- I liked it well enough. - groiny Oct 22, 13:11 3
  - are you going to be available for a couple hours tonight, around 8 central? -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 13:11 2

- *shrug* - znufrii Oct 22, 13:02 3
  - I don't quite understand it really. Republicans are against net neutrality because it may hurt big business but *other* big businesses are all for it. - Qale Oct 22, 13:04 2
    - The big businesses with huge physical infrstructure are a lot better at lobbying government than a business started by a couple of guys in a garage - Roger More Oct 22, 13:08 1
      - So what we reaaaaally need is "lobbyist nutrality" Booyah! -- nm - Qale Oct 22, 13:09
Connie Britton -- nm - peglegpete Oct 22, 13:00
"Wrestler The Miz Does Not Love Eric Mangini" Really, Sporting News? Is that slow a news day? -- nm - David Oct 22, 12:59 6
- It kinda makes me feel like a friend got famous whenever I hear that "The Miz" really is a professional wrestler. - Inigo Oct 22, 13:03 3
  - I watched him weekly down here at Deep South, the developmental organization that's sadly not around. He was like our own personal Rock. -- nm - Qale Oct 22, 13:05
  - He's shockingly solid at it. -- nm - Will GhostHunting Oct 22, 13:04 1
    - If I got to spend six months in a house practicing by grabbing Coral, I would kick ass at it too. -- nm - TFox Oct 22, 13:05
- Because he's THE MIZZZZZZ and he's AWESOME! -- nm - Qale Oct 22, 13:01
- actually... i would be interested to read Miz quotes going off on Mangina. -- nm - TFox Oct 22, 13:00

  - Veridian Dynamics. Diversity. Good for us. -- nm - Veridian Dynamics Oct 22, 13:04
- Interview(ed) dammit. -- nm - MonsterMeg Oct 22, 12:59
hard to believe that 11 years later, the playoff catch TO made to beat the Packers will probably turn out to be the highlight of his career -- nm - big time shamu Oct 22, 12:48 5
- Regardless of what else he does in *life* his highlight will always be getting creamed by George Teague on the Cowboy midfield star. (nm) - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 22, 12:49 4
  - Just like even after Randy Johnson goes into the Hall of Fame, he'll always be The Destroyer of Doves. -- nm - TFox Oct 22, 12:59 2
    - Exactly. George Brett is arguably the best 3rd baseman to play the modern game, but his highlight is freaking out over the pinetar ejection. - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 22, 13:03 1
      - Poor George Brett. I always think of that unfortunate surgery he had in spring training. -- nm - jnine Oct 22, 13:18

    - Most of hers would like like crap when compared to GI Joe though. -- nm - Ender Oct 22, 13:00 1
      - Touche. Skeleton Key is surprisingly good, though. -- nm - David Oct 22, 13:02
- is that Paquin sitting by Crudup there? -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 12:44 3
  - Jason Lee, yeah. No one is sitting by Crudup since they're mad about the acid. -- nm - David Oct 22, 12:45
  - er, thats not Crudup -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 12:45 1
    - But yeah, that was her. -- nm - Loyola Oct 22, 12:46

Isn't Antichrist also supposed to be out on VOD at this point? -- nm - TFox Oct 22, 12:39 2
- That movie was effed up. -- nm - Shaun Oct 22, 12:40 1
  - I still think Human Centipede trumps it in that department. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 13:01
LIR: nmBeaker re Punisher costume - Stephen Oct 22, 12:38 1
- This is why Batman rules. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 12:39

- Almost Famous; Brilliant. Starship Troopers; A different kind of brilliant. -- nm - Loyola Oct 22, 12:47
- Almost Famous - overrated. Starship Troopers - rated about right. -- nm - Roger More Oct 22, 12:41
- Almost Famous is overrated on ST, but most would probably categorize it as pretty good. I can agree with that. -- nm - Inigo Oct 22, 12:40 6
  - I don't believe that "sensibly rational" is an available for TT-Almost-Famous-opinion. It's either "overrated" or "loved it". - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 22, 12:47 5
    - nah, i'm in the middle somewhere. -- nm - b.oo! Oct 22, 12:48 4
      - I don't think you heard me. That's not an option. - musubiafraidofthingsthatgobumpinthenight Oct 22, 12:51 3

- wrong and correct -- nm - Jovian Oct 22, 12:31
- Starship Troopers - possibly the worst book adaptation ever made -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 12:31 10
  - what i hear you saying is that the book must be the total suck -- nm - big time shamu Oct 22, 12:32 7
    - the book was genius and Veerhoven should be slapped in the face -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 12:32 6
      - although, it is indisputable that he didn't hit rock bottom until Hollow Man came out. -- nm - TFox Oct 22, 12:34 3
        
        That movie goes along the path of interesting for about 2/3 of it...then goes completely off track. - Will GhostHunting Oct 22, 12:36 2
        
        Nudity helped. - Spawn Oct 22, 12:36 1

        well, you just mentioned the two highlights of the movie for me -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 12:34
  - But that aside, an ok flick. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 12:31 1
    - flick was made with pure awesome sauce -- nm - Jovian Oct 22, 12:32
