  - Yeah...that's nonsense. But, he's a Yankee, therefore ESPN must fellate him as often as possible. -- nm - Jim Jul 28, 08:51
- Your post is the first I heard of it -- nm - oblique Jul 28, 08:48

        "you are home." - Mel Profit Jul 28, 08:57 11
        
        one the things that's remarkable about it is that it's not even the climax of the movie. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 28, 09:01 3
        
        One of the most impressive accomplishments in that movie is how important the bus is. - David Jul 28, 09:04 1
        
        I hadn't really thought that all the way through. Very cool. - Mel Profit Jul 28, 09:07
        
        *moves this under David's reply* -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 28, 09:02

        What does Holding Tony Danza closer have to do with this? -- nm - Beaker Jul 28, 09:05
        
        if whatshername wasn't in it that movie would be stellar. -- nm - Remlik Jul 28, 09:04 1
        
        If you're talking about Kate Hudson I'm forcing you to the Alternate ST (we'll call it X-STverse) where the people who rave about the Starship Trooper - Mel Profit Jul 28, 09:09
        
        0:14 to :20 sets it well... -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 28, 09:03
        
        That would certainly get my vote. -- nm - David Jul 28, 08:59
      - It's the Disney feel-good sports franchise thing...The Rookie, Miracle, Invincible..... - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:52 1
        
        It's because I was in Australia at the time - it either came and went in theatres, or didn't get a release -- nm - Roger More Jul 28, 08:54
      - Seriously? -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Jul 28, 08:52
      - Miracle is a damn near perfect sports movie. -- nm - David Jul 28, 08:52
      - Looks like Sky High earned more than Poseidon too... -- nm - Roger More Jul 28, 08:51 12
        
        Sky High is so so good. - Callisto Jul 28, 08:56
        
        Hmm, Sky High, Miracle and Vanilla Sky is a very strong 2000s trio. -- nm - David Jul 28, 08:52 10
        
        I never saw it, so I'll just say this...calling Vanilla Sky a Kurt Russell movie is a huh? - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:54 9
        
        He's actually very important to the plot, especially the end reveal. -- nm - David Jul 28, 08:55 8
        
        Oh, I'm not saying he's not important to the part, but if we're asking can he headline a movie - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:56 6
        
        at this stage, the question is, should be be headlining a movie? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 28, 08:59
        
        Oh, I'm not saying he's the lead. If I were, Sky High would be out as well. - David Jul 28, 08:59
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Sky High had him heavily featured too. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:59 2
        
        Have you seen Vanilla Sky? He got Oscar buzz for it. -- nm - David Jul 28, 09:06 1
        
        No, I haven't........so I'm totally going off what was in the media - Will Hunting Jul 28, 09:08
        
        I have wiped Vanilla Sky from my mind. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 28, 08:55

    - It's just white noise to you at this point -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 08:51
    - Repetitive stress disorder -- nm - Roger More Jul 28, 08:45 1
      - But at least he didn't insult The Rundown. What the Hell, JaxSean? -- nm - David Jul 28, 08:48

- I've been to Tijuana, but I don't really think that counts. - JaxSean Jul 28, 08:46
- I have family/friends that never desire to leave the US or travel at all. I respect it, though don't understand it. But, I think everyone should - ty97 Jul 28, 08:45 1
  - For us it was necessary. My parents were in Canada, and the inlaws in South Africa. - MojaveMeg Jul 28, 08:48
- In our little burg, literally six blocks from the Canadian border... - OAE Jul 28, 08:45
- Wow. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 28, 08:42
I didn't realize Nate McLouth still had options. - musubi, adorable Jul 28, 08:40 2

    - sweet! -- nm - Diva Jul 28, 09:00
    - American just announced today they are dropping their RDU to BOS service. Punks. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 28, 08:46 4
      - Heard about that a few days ago. It was Eagle service anyway, so not a major loss. - ty97 Jul 28, 08:48 3
        
        This probably does not bode well for RDU. American is one of the big ones. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 28, 08:52 1
        
        AA is pretty committed to RDU from what I can tell. They are even running a triple-miles promotion there for the rest of the year - ty97 Jul 28, 08:56
        
        Yup, that's why I'm flying Alaska back from Seattle. At least I can use my AA miles for that. - MojaveMeg Jul 28, 08:50
    - When do you get that? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 28, 08:45 1
      - I already have top-level status for the current year, so this won't really benefit me now. It will when I stop traveling for work, though. -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 08:46
  - A reach around. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 28, 08:41 1
    - *starts working on getting to two million miles...fast* -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 08:50

- and they dumbed down the Scorpian King. It should have been Conan. Not Hercules. -- nm - Remlik Jul 28, 08:38
I'm glad TWuG asked the ice question. I get confused about such things -- nm - prayformojo Jul 28, 08:38 1
