    The Amazing Race 6

    Different time in 96, I guess. And in case anyone wonders, Victoria Silvestedt got Playmate of the Year...

    What the hell consitiutes a "cameo"

    To me, a cameo is an uncredited, often unpaid appearance by a celebrity, although the reverse may not be true (eg James Earl Jones in Star Wars). I think it may depend on the director/producers though... Using that logic though would sort of negate Cagney then as he was credited in the movie's credits and even in the "poster credits" it reads "...and James Cagney as "George M. Cohan" " Probably would, but I don't think my opinion is necessarily right. Star Wars. I believe that he's credited in the videos, but originally he wasn't. But that was a role, not a cameo.

    Gus is owning this ep so far... ...but Hayden's breasts are not that far behind.

    The Amazing Race 6

    OK, I love this season's old couple, but man alive, they really suck at Racing...
  7. My Blockbuster has a homemade "WHY SHOULD YOU CHOSE WIDESCREEN OVER FULL SCREEN" poster with similar screencaps of movies in both formats that get posted on here every time we have the WS vs FS debate, to show the idiots that still chose full screen why it sucks. They carry about 80:20 in favor of Widescreen but most of the time all the FS versions are gone.... I think it depends on the regional manager, because none of the Blockbusters in my area (Med Center Houston) have widescreen comedies, and the Hollywood Video carries widescreen as much as possible.
  8. To be honest, the Hollywood Video around my neighbourhood is miles better than the 20-or-so Blockbusters in the same vicinity, but that may just be an isolated case.

    20TH CENTURY FOX SETS WRITER FOR MAGNETO SPIN-OFF

    Why the shouting Ed?

    The dorkiest sports personalities.....

    Seconded. His facial expressions on and off the field made me give him the nickname of "Mr. AwShucks" And while I've never cared for him as a player, he does make some good commercials. "Cut that meat! Cut that meat!" "Your defense is offensive!" Randy Orton is probably a long lost Manning sibling...

    DC Comics' Next Big Event after Identity Crisis

    Yeah, that Van Gogh guy seems to have some pretty good work out there. It's even in museums and stuff!!

    "Be Cool" trailer

    Funny(-weird) story I heard is that when Elmore Leonard was writing the book he based Elliot on Rocky. And now that it's a movie, they go out and GET Rocky for the role. Anyways, from the looks of things most of the plot is intact except for maybe the minor subplot involving Odessa, so I think things should turn out OK. Especially since, as Chili Palmer, Travolta's camerea-mugging actually fits in.

    Ocean's Twelve

    Thought it was a pretty good movie. Not as good as the first, but I was entertained the whole way through, with the exception of the Bruno and Julia interlude.

    DC Comics' Next Big Event after Identity Crisis

    Actually I think that this is one of the weaker paint-over-pencils pieces that Ross has done. The Crisis TPB cover where he painted over Perez, now that's a thing of beauty.

    DC Comics' Next Big Event after Identity Crisis

    I agree with you, but since Power Girl's in the corner there, here's to hoping that her continuity gets sorted out...

    Death Of wCw Book

    Ordered it from Amazon along with LotR: RotK EE, so I'll probably see it sometime next year...

    Olsen's in remake of Korean Horrorm Film?

    If Bob Saget isn't in it as an overly nice dad, then I'm not watching it.

    LOST

    I honestly have no clue. Every time I think about it, I throw out wild theories like it's a "gestalt" monster where a bunch of the Ethan-people combine to form a big-ass creature. But I don't have any sane theories on the monster...

    LOST

    Yeah, read into that what you will, I guess. Then again, there's that whole Tasha Yar thing from ST:TNG, so anything's possible. Thanks for the guest info. I really did think it was Feeney though, but I was wrong.

    Apprentice 2

    Obviously they didn't want to do the same thing as last year, so instead of bringing back applicants 3-8 they brought back 9-14. Also, I think that there are too many people in the final 8 with animosity towards Jen, so they needed to give her a fair shot. The only returnees with something to prove, IMO, are Pamela (because she got screwed) and Elizabeth (because of her breakdown), so as long as they adopt Raj's Dick Vitale viewpoint ("Just win, baby") it's fine as far as I'm concerned. Like I said before, Sandy was screwed before the interviews even started. They want a corporate zombie with a good post-secondary pedigree, and the Jenbot has that in spades over Sandy, no matter that Sandy is more than likely a better businessperson. It's not without precedent either (see Troy vs Kwame) I actually liked Kevin in the interviews, but his style of speaking his mind and being (more or less) honest cost him, as the interviewers thought he'd be the kind of guy that cannot settle down in one job. I think he's better off, although after seeing Sandy and Seven's verbal catfight (part 2) I think Trump should've told the taxi to turn around, bring back Kevin and fire the both of them. I guess I'm rooting for Kelly to win though.

    LOST

    Are you talking about William Daniels? Because that wasn't him. You sure about that? The voice and moustache definitely seemed like it was K.I.T.T...

    LOST

    You see a guy hanging from a tree via a rope around his neck, chances are that they're dead, not only from the lack of oxygen, but also a broken neck. So, yeah, I thought he was dead. Come to think of it, I think Merry and Pippin were supposed to die in LotR as well. Damn, that's one lucky Hobbit... What YnA said. And even though it's going slowly, I think they're turning him face too soon. By the end of this season, we'll probably hate Sawyer the face and be reminiscing about his time as Sawyer the smartass heel. Waiting for a Convenient Plot Twist that requires Michael to ask Sun for something. I do hope that Jin's extended absence means that Agent Baker will show up on 24 though. I think he knows what he's doing, but I think it's a case where he's starting to learn that reality isn't always the same as what's in books. It's obviously a Secret Underground Lair of a Diabolical Villain intent on ruling / destroying / ransoming the Earth. Or maybe it's just a shelter for Other Men...
