moral suasion

This is the last new episode for a while. Let's hope it kicks ass...

I disagree. Thier Backlash 2002 match was AWESOME. I agree that HHH/Angle has disappointed, but I think thier RR '01 match is underrated. With a clean finish, that match is easily ****+.

I agree with franchise. Primal Fear is the only movie that I think Richard Gere is good in. I think that Primal Fear is the most elite 90s crime thriller.

Also, does anyone else think that this is one of the best editions of survivor ever? The first and second ones kicked ass. The fourth one was good but the final was disappointing. Depending on how it plays out, I think that this one has the potential to be the best Survivor ever. EVERY tribal council has been dramatic and interesting.

I think Rob has the best shot against Matthew. Butch and Christy are too likable. People would vote for them because they are "good people". Also, the Dave/Alex/Jenna/Heidi faction would vote for one of their own. Thats 3 instant votes against Rob. Deena would vote against Rob most likely as well. That only leaves Matthew. Matthew isn't very well liked. This is the same strategy that Brian used in the Thailand show. He took the least likable to the final two with him. No matter who he goes against, Rob is going to have to do A LOT of talking at the final tribal council to win the cash.

So as of right now Heidi, Jenna, Rob, Butch, Christy, and Matthew are left. Who do you want to win it all? and Who do you think will win it all? I want Rob to win it all but I think he has no chance if he makes it to the final 2. I think that Matthew will win. I disagree with the proposed plan of Rob getting rid of Matthew and counting on his vote. Rob and Matthew need eachother in the game for them both to stay alive. Jenna and Heidi will go next. Its only logical for Rob to get rid of the "faces" Butch and Christy after that because the jury would vote for them. That leaves Matthew and Rob. Matthew wins because everyone hates Rob.

So if the Wolves can overcome that badly biased officiating, do you guys think they can win the series now?

Agreed

I agree. The refereeing was horrible in that game. You are right about all those pro-Lakers calls. But there were a few bad calls that went the TWolves way. There was one "block" KG had on Kobe at the end of regulation that was a foul. I think they didnt call it to make up for all of the bad previous calls on KG. There was also a foul in OT that sent Marc Jackson to the line where the contact was questionable. I am exstatic that the Wolves won, but I'm just saying that there was bad calls on both sides. I think that was one of the craziest basketball games I've ever watched.

The T'Wolves-Lakers game 3 was possibly the most emotionally exhausting basketball game that I have ever watched. After watching games 2 and 3, I'm starting to think that my Wolves can do it. They can play defense on the Lakers and no one can stop KG. Go Timberwolves!

Agreed. I dont like the Lakers, but I respect the hell out of Shaq and Kobe. They both work thier asses off.

Totally agree. Short Music for Short people is a GREAT album. I strongly recommend anyone picking that one up. It should be under $10.

AFI's "Strength Through Wandering" NOFX "August 8th"

T Mac choked at the end of game 2 versus Detroit. I hate how the entire Orlando offense is run through him. Its bad for the game and lazy. You'd think that as a former player, Doc Rivers would incorporate the rest of the team into the offense, even if they are bad. T Mac scores 40 points every night because he takes so many damn shots. He had almost 60% of Orlando's scoring in game 2. Also, he is overrated because he is all that SportsCenter can show of Orlando games for reasons stated above, and SportsCenter chooses only to show his dunks and crazyass shots. I agree that he is one of the most talented players in the game, but he is overrated and overexposed.

Agreed. The Wild have very ugly away jerseys. I think our home whites are cool looking.

Wow. That was awesome. I agree that a few parts may have been rigged, but who cares, it was awesome. I doubt there was any CGI though. I would have loved to be the guy who designed it.

Nice episode. Its always nice to see a non-political/issue episode. The episodes where they do "kids" stuff are cool.

I think the Wild could eventually replace the North Stars in Minnesota hearts. Have you been to a Wild game? The Xcel goes CRAZY! I realize that all hockey arenas go nuts, but there is something special in how Minnesotans love thier boys. I think within a few years they will mark thier place in Minnesota sports history and not be thought of as replacement for the Stars. Plus, the North Stars leaving was such a TRAGEDY at the time and still is in Minnesota. I mean come on, they fucking went to Texas! For every 3 Wild jerseys I see on campus, i still see 1 Stars jersey. Minnesota is a hockey state and the fans have it in thier blood. Its like canada. The Wild will eventually ease the bitterness that Minnesota Hockey fans still have.

I really want to watch the one on the Travel channel but have never seen it on. The commercials for it are really good. I watch the poker tourneys on ESPN sometimes. They are cool but difficult to follow. I LOVE watching the pool on ESPN. Both straight pool and trick shot magic are super cool. ESPN should air more pool and poker, and less "World's Strongest Man" competitions during the afternoon.

Kanenite, did you just read Scott Keith's book?

I Chose Sum 41. Of all the current MTV super bands, I think they are far and away the most talented. This means they can still remain successful after thier MTV stint.

I enjoy the Leaning Tower of Pizza. I don't think it is a national chain, but I know there are a few in the Metro area. Anyone eaten there?

Christopher Guest's first two films have made him a cult legend. As a fan of Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show, I was really excited to see this movie. The trailer also made it look good. It was HORRIBLE. A Mighty Wind is far and away the worst movie so far this year. It fails on every aspect that his other 2 films work on. First of all, there are just too many characters. Guest tries to fit in so many characters, that no one is developed and every single person is a one-joke character. Correction: a very dumb, one-joke character. Most of the "regulars" are wasted. I think Parker Posey has ONE line. The film also breaks away from the mockumentary continuity. I won't give and details as to not spoil any scenes, but at times you find yourself asking "wouldn't the documentary guy/camera crew do something?" From what I can think of, Eugene Levy is good in every movie he is in. Not true here. He is the ONLY character that is developed and is far and away, the LEAST funny character in the movie. The biggest problem with the movie is the ad-libbing by the cast just isn't funny. Even the conciously added dick and fart jokes in the movie are dumb. Everything the Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show do right, A Mighty Wind does wrong. Anyone else see it? Any thoughts?

Although both books rock, Choke is better than Fight Club in my opinion.
