  1. It would be interesting to see the statistics. It's a moot point, though. I'm not even saying it's likely she lied, but you can't have revenge crimes in this country, even against people convicted of terrible crimes. Would I have done the same? Probably. And there will be mitigating circumstances, and it'll probably be plead down. Yes they deserve to die! And I hope they burn in hell!
  2. O'Reily's been going on about it, (rightfully so) so his website's probably a good start.

    Veronica Mars Season Two

    Wow, it's been so fucking long since it was on, I missed it. How was the episode?

    Guitar Hero.

    Look at the notes when you play the game. They have a white center, right? If those white centers are surrounded by a black outline, you must strum. If they are just white, you can hammer-on, or pull-off. The disadvantage being, if you miss the first note, or any note in the string, all subsequent notes will be off. (I think, could just be the first note) It's absolutely essential on some songs.
  5. Have charges been brought? I agree it may be a good idea to suspend him without pay, morally, but it's leaving yourself open to a lawsuit. Do you mean it's right to beat the shit out of him?
  6. We're all very impressed, but what if it WASN'T TRUE. And I'm pretty sure she's not 14 months old.
  7. But what if she's lying? I'm sure there have been plenty of cases. Kids know that if you accuse someone of that, you're essentially ruining their lives. If it's true, it's justified, but one shouldn't jump to conclusions. That being said, if I was the father, I'm sure I would've reacted in the same way.

    Worst film you've ever seen

    William Randolph Hearst was infuriated by this movie, obviously based on his life. According to an essay written for the New York Review of Books by Gore Vidal "Rosebud" was Hearst's name for long-time mistress Marion Davies' clitoris. But screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz insisted that he took the name from a bicycle he owned as a child.

    This has not been a good year for the Republicans.

    He has the gall to have his own ideas that don't fall completely in line with either party. At this point, I'll vote for anyone like that, even if they have the opposite views as I do.

    Name good music videos.

    Pretty much anything Michel Gondrey has done Windowlicker. Tool's Sober and Prison Sex. NIN- Closer Thriller (duh) Smooth Criminal QotSA- Go With the Flow The White Zombie video from the Beavis and Butthead movie. PRetty much all of 'The Wall.'

    Best worst film you've ever seen

    Beast of Yucca Flats. Terrible, sleazy, but with friends it's hilarious. The director/writer obviously wanted to make a meaningful movie. The narrator is the star. Keep in mind he talks in sort of a clipped, Dan-Akroyd-in-Blues-Brothers Chicago accent. From IMDb: A man runs, someone shoots at him. Flag on the moon. How did it get there? Nothing bothers some people, not even flying saucers. Always on the prowl. Looking for something or somebody to kill. Quench the killer's thirst. Boys from the city. Not yet caught by the whirlwind of Progress. Feed soda pop to the thirsty pigs. Touch a button. Things happen. A scientist becomes a beast. Twenty hours without rest and still no enemy. In the blistering desert heat, Jim and Joe plan their next attack. Find the Beast and kill him. Kill, or be killed. Man's inhumanity to man. "Flag on the moon, how'd it get there?" Is uttered at least 4 times, always at the most inappropriate moments.

    Super Bowl XL

    You know what? Know matter what happens, I'm going to be happy at the end of the SB. For years the 'Hawks were a mediocre team. They always had exciting games, but it seemed they lost EVERY close game. Tatupu has really solidified what has been a good offense for a while. Shaun is running harder than he ever has. I can't tell you how many plays this season he got met at the line of scrimmage, and inexplicably squirted forward for 5 yds. Jurevicius's great hands have given Hass the confidence he needed to be a great QB. Right now. I'm happier as a sports fan than I've ever been. I don't care how many lame Seattle cliches ESPN focuses on, I don't care if they lose, and everyone goes back to saying they're chokers. I don't even care that 50% of my workplace can't name a Seahawks player and watched last week's game. And truth be told, besides the Bengals, if the 'Hawks were going to lose to anyone, I'm glad it would be the Steelers. Go Seahawks.

    All-Star Superman

    Oh, man. I just checked out ASB&R:TBW, and it's just fucking atrocious. They speak like a combination of (really terrible) Sin City-speak and Bendis's USM dialogue. I liek USM's dialogue, but that's because the characters are supposed to be like 15-16. Not adults. Wow is it bad. Having read most of Miller's script notes, it seems to consist of him telling Lee to make Vikki Vale's tits really big. Is this what he's come to? Don't have much hope for the new Sin City stuff if this is where it's headed.

    UPN, WB to Shut Down; New Network Formed

    Much like most other networks! I hope that the mention means that Veronica Mars stays on.

    Worst film you've ever seen

    I really like Ghost World. I own the movie. Some fine acting, some very funny moments, and characters that are both loveable, and both sad and offputting because they're so lonely. It's a little movie, in the sense that it's very character-driven, but little movies aren't necessarily bad. Another movie like that is Kitchen Stories, which is basically about two men slowly becoming friends, that's it. Yet it's a really warm and funny movie.

    Do You Know How Dumb You Sound?

    I posted an 'I quit' a couple years ago. I think I've watched WWE twice since. I don't know how people can take it. The only chance of seeing a good match is PPV, and they're, what, $40 now? Please.

    Worst film you've ever seen

    But everything in Revenge is terrible. The action scenes suck. The love scenes suck. Madeline Stowe, while pretty, is built like a 12-yo boy. (I know that's a cliche, but in this case it's absolutely true.) so the nudity doesn't matter. Costner's character cowardly knifes some guy in a bathroom. He does nothing but act like a bitch and have some other guy do his dirty work for the rest of the movie. Every line in the movie is terrible. Every character acts like an idiot. Kevin Costner's opening retirement speech is one of the worst soliloques in movie history. It's terrible, just terrible. And no David Lynch movie I've seen can possibly get worst movie, and I think i've seen them all besides Fire Walk With Me. I think MD's one of his worst, but it's still able to evoke strong feeling in the viewer even if the plot is open to interpretation. Even if you view MD or Lost Highway as two pairs of loosely joined narratives, the direction and dialogue are strongly evocative. I could definitely understand someone hating MD, but it ain't the worst.

    Dancing......can you do it?

    Your style is unorthodox, Zach.

    Worst film you've ever seen

    By that definition, probably Revenge is the worst movie I've ever seen. Brutally boring, characters that act in a ridiculous manner, Kevin Costner, terrible love scenes, it's just an incredibly tiresome movie. I can imagine, out of the theater that perhaps Avengers and Batman & Robin could have some entertainment value. IN a theater, they were hell. And I'm really glad I didn't see Blair Witch in a theater. It should be seen alone, in the dark, on a small screen.

    NFL Conference Championships

    Hadn't he had an excellent game up that point? Not that makes it anything less than mortifying. I just can't find the stats to past playoff games.

    These posts are really meaningless. We only exist as abstractions in Lance Storm's mind. Once he dies, we shall cease to be.
