You know, that thread is great. Everything UTSU says is just so fucking ludicrous.

I don't see how I could take it as anything but satire, but it's hardly a feel-good musical.

Dude, don't fuck with UTSU! He with a real major in technology, and And I just have to finish it off with one of the few quotes that has ever actually made me laugh on TSM. From Slayer:

The greatest episode of TV ever is the 'Miami Vice' where Don Johnson shot a plane out of the sky with a 9MM and it just exploded, and there was a long zoom in on Crockett while sad music played. Aw, you're missing out. There's something for everyone. I'm not enamored with musicals (though I do love me some opera). It's not like movies lately have been that great. And if people claimed that Buffy was the best episode ever, I can understand your bitterness at Whedonphiles.

Seriously, I tutored some kids in Louisiana, and their education system is BAD. (Louisiana is just downright poor.) If you're doing worse than Louisiana, man.

I stabbed a guy in the heart with a trident! It has given birth to one of my new favorite quotes.

I don't believe this for a second. I had friends from Texas, and while they were fairly smart, not a single one could speak proper English (this is in college). They couldn't write properly, either. So they're equating class size with intelligence. Riiiiight. WTF if up with Montana and Minnesota being so high? Weird. Interestingly enough, almost everyone I've met from Arizona has been a complete and utter moron. But hey, they're family.

Slayer, quite frankly, unless you yourself have discovered a cure for cancer, you probably don't have a whole lot of room to talk about another man's accomplishments.

Ok, calm down, go back and reread this thread. It was basically a bunch of people sucking each other off about how they were so proud about how they weren't going to see this movie, or hadn't heard about this movie or whatever. A movie they hadn't seen. They didn't qualify their comments at all. Why, because it's a musical? Because it's in NY? Because it has a couple characters who die of AIDS? Vyce does this ALL the fucking time, and what the fuck does it add to the conversation? If you think I'm pretentious and think of people who haven't seen Rent as 'unwashed' you're letting your own perception of the movie and its audience (I take from your comments you think anyone who likes a musical is an artsy-fartsy pretentious asshole) color what I posted. My post wasn't about Rent at all. It was about pointless negativity over a movie NO ONE HAD SEEN, that adds nothing to the discussion. I said very plainly that I had never seen Rent, and had no emotional investment in it. Shit, my favorite movie's 'The Naked Gun.' Slayer said he saw the musical, and it sucked. Fair enough. I'll tell you that I think 'Batman and Robin' is the worst movie ever made. Why? Because I had to sit through it. Gigli is probably terrible, but I'm not going to bitch and moan about it on a message board because *gasp*, I haven't seen it! If you honestly think that I really, truly, honestly thought that being proud about not having heard of Rent=you have accomplished nothing in life, then you fucking suck at message boarding. (Doesn't make you a bad person, to make this clear) You should quit now, because you are just not going to be able to keep taking all this shit so seriously and maintain your sanity. Late me state THIS as plainly as possible. Ignorant (adj): unaware, uninformed. If you have never heard of Rent you are completely ignorant in regards to modern theater. Does this make you stupid? No. ignorant does not mean stupid. Sorry if you think it does, but that's your ignorance of the meaning of the word ignorant. Does it make you a bad person? What a ridiculous statement. It means exactly what it says, you're ignorant regarding theater. That's not that terrible a thing at all. If you think it's such an insult, take an interest in theater. If not, what's the Big Fucking Deal? And I made the statement because I honestly marvel that anyone's not heard of it. So you haven't seen 'The Matrix'. You've obviously heard about it.

Dude, you sound out of your mind, and I didn't call you unwashed. Don't put words in my mouth. Also, I wasn't even talking to you. I'm ignorant of plenty of things. We ALL are. No one has the time in their life to be invest in every passtime and subject. If they did, they'd be a useless human being. I don't take pride in my ignorance of those things though. THAT'S the difference. I'm not super big on musicals, but you assume I am. I don't give a shit about musicals, or Rent, but taking pride in not knowing shit is retarded. Keep on keeping it real, though. Wow, it was a glib comment. Did I hit a nerve or what? You can stop crying now, I didn't really mean it.

'Mannnn, those 80 numbers are all boxy. I mean, all due respect to the guys who wore those numbers, but they're ugly.' I thought it made the WRs look like dumbasses. Exemplified by Larry Fitzgerald giving thanks to Keyshawn for being the first. Because his team had no 80's left. Jerry Rice was funny. Just shaking his head over the stupidity of it. Yeah, Jerry Rice is the greatest WR of all time, but man he looked ugly doing it. fucking big-ass eight all on him. Makes him a bigger target for safeties! And all that extra weight makes him slower.

Wow, being proud about not hearing about something. Your accomplishments must be stellar. You know, a musical about a bunch of friends living in a run-down building, and a couple of them gets AIDS sounds better than a musical about some complete bitch who murders a man in cold blood, and gets off because of her asshole shyster lawyer, and then abandons here husband, the only sympathetic character. But people lurved that movie too. And if you've never heard of Rent you're either really young, or just ignorant. It was a fucking cultural phenomenon when it debuted, and it's the biggest musical since Andrew Lloyd Webber. Note, I'm not saying this as a fan of Rent. I've never seen it, and I won't see it in the theatre. But you all sound like a bunch of jackasses, talking about how you're proud of never hearing about it. P.S: Last night I saw a documentary/concert film of johnny Cash visiting Sam Quentin. It was fucking awesome. Johnny Cash was the shit.

IMDB for Devil's rejects said that Rob wanted to use old-school gore effects, but CGI blood after the fact was actually much quicker and more cost effective. Yeah, it looks fake as fuck.

A couple guys and I tried to steal another frat's inflatable pool while they had a party going on in their house. The pool was on their front lawn, and it was BIG. We got it half a block before they surrounded us. I'm still surprised I emerged without an horrendous ass-beating. The kicking the guy out of his house though.... I didn't know if he had a gun or anything. That night sucked.

First playoff week of my league. (we have a two week superbowl) I played Carson, LaMont, LJ, Jurevicius, and the Vikes' D. It was a horrific massacre. I still have Marvin Harrison to rub the lye in. (P.S.) AND Tiki did well on my bench (though i played the right guys). I love my RBs. Do you get what I mean though, MilleniumMan? I don't go too deep. I look at opposing D's allowed yds (I play in sort of a yardage league, and I like it that way) and my guys' home and away stats, that's pretty much it, but that determines who I play. Should I have not played Jurevicius against Hasselwhack this week? Hell no. If anything, if I'm confident in my other players, I welcome that kind of matchup.

Well, fuck. I'm a die-hard Seahawks fan, and an Eli Hater (not a Giants hater, I just hated his deal with SD. I like Tiki a lot) and after this game, I really can't hate on Eli anymore. He, and the Giants had a terrific game, and he was very cool under pressure. (of course excellence doesn't neccessarily mean I'll like the player. I've always hated Culpepper.) I think the Seattle crowd was outrageously loud for all those O-line penalties. Either way, I'm lad my team won (EDIT: GLAD. Fuckin g key), but they were lucky, lucky, lucky. The Giants looked great.

I once kicked a man out of his own house.

This show just gets better and better. Duncan is so fucking sketchy. Logan is so fucking crazy. If that gun was actually loaded, Weevil's a lot sicker than I gave him credit for. The whole first crazy act was so well acted. I've said it before, Kristen Bell and Jay Dohring are destined for great things.

I'm a Pollack. So fire away. i'm Immune because I'm in *mensa* Gauranteed 3 hours in Texas filled me with the most terrible racist jokes ever. People from the south toss around the N word like candy.

*sniff* you hearless bastard! *sniff* I'm of the opinion that a man can cry when: A) He hits his finger with a hammer. Ever done it? It's fucking worse than breaking a bone. Actually, physical pain should never cause crying unless some serious shit is going on. you hit your finger with a hammer and you just curse a lot. b) When his dog dies. Or for pussy old me, a cat. Though I probably won't cry when they die. They're really cute though! Beyond that? Only siblings and parents warent an out. Beyond that, buck up soldier. Anyone who cried at the end of 'Devil's Rejects' Probably cries during Rocketman, Toy Story, and Buffy. I cried at the end of 'Henry" Portrait of a Serial Killer Oh boo hoo hoo. Caveat: There's this movie, 'Grave of the Fireflies' It made me cry like a little fucking biatch. Only movie to do so. but, goddamn, that's a hard movie to watch.

It still boggles my mind that Alien:Ressurection ate a dick. Everything that director has done (Delicatessan, City of Lost Children, Amelie. A Very Long Engagement) has been good. Outside of aVlE I would call all of his films brilliant. And he brought the kickass cast. Ron Perlman, for whom I have inordinate manlove, that one clown dude from every one of his fucking movies, Sigourney Weaver, and Ryder didn't do bad at all. The movie was just shit. you want to play to your audience? don't have some potbellied piece of corny shit rip the queen's face off. Seriously, all these movies have to do is appeal to fanboys. They can't even do that. Look at Freddy v jason. That's how you do a fanboy movie

Plus, that kind of thinking is downright stupid. I had Palmer and Griese one week, and my opponent was playing Chad Johnson. Palmer and Chad hooked up, both had good games. Griese had a game not so good. So the QB-WR tandem might even out, who gives a flying fuck? You play the best player every week, moron. Most likely, I'm going to be playing a team led by Kerry Collins next week. Oh nos! I better not play Lamont Jordan! What kind of fucking logic is that? I'm sure if you don't start Brees LT is suddenly going to suck. Fucking aggravating. This kind of stupid shit is against data, against common sense, I just... Fuck. My opponent (playoff time in my league) Had Mike Anderson. Awww Yeah. If I don't go to the superbowl with 3 top-10 backs, and 3 top 10 overall players, I'm going to be so pissed.

Vyce, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't drawn to this show by Kristen Bell. She's fuckin' fine. The show is somewhat intelligent. and is masterfully plotted. And kristen Bell and Jay Dohring are turning into incredible actors. Even most of the bit players are hooking it up. With my favorite series (AD) gone, I revel in every moment of this quality show. Which will probably be cancelled.

I thought Seamonsters was pretty good, but not phenomenal. The first track was really fucking great. though. English Settlement and Pink Flag are fucking awesome, though. I have no idea how XTC flew under my radar, my Dad likes them. Two brilliant albums. Thanks, Inc. Since I'm new to both bands, give me some more XTC and Wire albums I should check out. I probably liked the XTC album most of all. I'll be buying it presently.

TO lost his appeal a long time ago. Ba-dump-bump.
