See, the problem here is: Nobody gives a fuck what you think.

Come on. If you're an actor, you have an obligation to watch your words. You can't just go out and announce "Murder somebody tonight." Because there are people crazy enough to do it if they are a huge fanatic of you. If he was an actor that made his living exclusively in other countries, then I wouldn't have a problem. It's his opinion. But don't come in America and take money from hard-working people that appreciate this country. Don't call our country a broken toy and encourage your children to get a feel and then leave. I don't think asking for respect from people who make their living here is asking too much.

He's in the public eye. People's opinions here won't go further than this message board. His opinion is going to get spread in newspapers around Europe, just so they could laugh that even an actor supported by America hates the United States. If you're in the public eye, you should at least watch some comments you say. Like I said, I'm insulted that he makes so much money here when he obviously doesn't like the country. It's a matter of respect. He comes here to makes his money and then trash-talks us while he's away. Worked so well for Anne Robinson, didn't it ? And for those of you who ask "Who's she?", my thoughts exactly.

BERLIN (AP) - Actor Johnny Depp likened the United States to a "dumb puppy that has big teeth" in an interview published Wednesday, ridiculing Washington's confrontation with France, where he lives, over the war in Iraq. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star - who spends much of his time in the south of France with his companion, Vanessa Paradis, and their two children - told the German magazine Stern he couldn't see himself paying more than short visits to his Los Angeles residence in the present political climate. "America is dumb, is something like a dumb puppy that has big teeth - that can bite and hurt you, aggressive," Depp was quoted as saying. Depp recalled that French fries were renamed "Freedom fries" in the House cafeteria on Capitol Hill at the height of U.S. anger over France's refusal to back the administration of President Bush over the war in Iraq. "Nothing made me happier than when I read that - grown men and grown women in positions of power in the United States government," Depp said. "I was ecstatic because they revealed themselves as idiots." Depp said he wanted his two children, ages 1 and 4, to experience the United States "like it's a kind a toy - a broken toy maybe. Investigate a little bit, check it out, get this feeling and then get out." AP-ES-09-03-03 1323EDT ------------------------------------------------- What an asshole. While the guy does have the freedom to express what he thinks, you don't say such a thing if America's one of the places you hope to make a major living. He's just making every American that has supported him and his movies look pathetic. Things like this just make me sick. If you don't like the country, and have things like that to say about it, then just stay out and don't come back. I'm by no stretch the most patriotic American, but I consider it an insult that he's making millions while I'm struggling to get enough money for food on the table. Personally, I can't wait until the douchebag's career starts dying in America. Then, nobody will give a fuck WHAT the guy has to say. -Well, those are my thoughts. Yours ?

I'm sorry but I refuse to believe this. I refuse to believe Vince would keep the title belt on a guy for 11 months of a year, have him lose it, and then have him regain it 2 months later for a long face-title run. He wouldn't do that to his fans, because it would just make his show staler than ever and have ratings continue to plummet. He couldn't possibly think this is a good idea. Then, to have him feud with Randy Orton of all people. Vince wouldn't do this. I mean, he's a smart man. He couldn't....he wouldn't.....ah shit. Here we go again.

Hmmm....I personally thought Roberto Alomar should go in as a Cleveland Indian. He wasn't on Cleveland AS long, but he did have his best overall seasons there. But who here thinks Alomar should go in as a New York Met ?! *raises hand* Ah, fuck it.

What I find most hilarious about that woman is her comment "I spent almost $10 on food and I wanted some sauce." You can just feel her total outrage over spending SO much money, and not getting free sauce in return. What a horrific ordeal this woman has gone through. Jeez, some people are such idiots.

Fast food customer dials 9-1-1 over condiment charge Reported by Dave Summers AVON -- Avon police answer hundreds of emergency calls daily from citizens but dispatcher Deni Stempowski says a call from a McDonald's is super sized silliness. The McDonald's is at Route 611 in Avon. The caller is customer Lula Brown, who asked for barbecue sauce with her order. "I spent almost $10 on food and I wanted some sauce," Brown says. "I was told I would have to pay extra for sauce. It's not a store policy. It's not in writing and I don't feel I should pay extra for any sauce unless it is store policy and they show it to me." As ridiculous as it might seem, Avon police did respond, they sent an officer in a patrol car to help solve this condiment caper. Brown was disappointed that police could not solve her problem. Non-emergency calls to 9-1-1 can cost you. Brown was not charged but pranks and unnecessary calls can be considered a crime. Stempowski says Brown and others who call 9-1-1 without an emergency can cause far greater problems. "We have one line coming in here for 9-1-1," Stempowski says. "Someone else dialing 9-1-1 who has a real emergency now cannot get through." The Avon McDonald's still offers a wide assortment of condiments for free. After this episode though, the cost of extra sauce is clearly posted. ---------------------------------------------------- I think "......" says it all.

Well, this report is for a 4-day weekend, correct?

Holy shit, that RVD/Austin match is my favorite free-TV match. Can't believe it was only 2 years ago. Seems like much longer. I've tried finding it on Kazaa to download for months, but have never been able to find it.

Very happy S.W.A.T. passed the $100 million mark and looks to still be going pretty strong. Really liked that movie.

I've just attempted to download American Wedding on Kazaa for the third time and, for the third time, I've downloaded the trailer instead. The descriptions say it's the real movie but, of course, it isn't. So my question is, which program is the best to download movies ? Which one is the easiest to find movies to download and most reliable during the downloading process ? I'm sure people here must have some really good internet programs that I haven't heard of yet.

I'm glad I didn't go to this show, after considering it for about 2 minutes. I mean, how can you put a house show in New York, and put neither of your main singles champions on it ? Seriously. And some of those matches seem like those squash Superstars-matches from years ago. Matt Hardy vs. Mortis ? A-Train vs. Orlando Jordan ? It really isn't hard trying to figure out why the house-show business is struggling so much.

Sid shitting his pants during an Undertaker tombstone. I didn't actually see it, but come on. Imagine it. It's hilarious. JR: "Undertaker has picked up Sid.....and it's the TOMBSTONE !" *SLAM* *plop* "By gawd, what the hell is that smell ?!"

Sadly, I didn't really find any sarcasm in that article. I think he was actually being serious. To be fair, Jerry Lawler should have been wrestler of the week. Hasn't wrestled in months but, this week, got an Intercontinental Title shot and a win over Triple H. He truly is inspirational.

Continuation of the Smark-Angle for Kane: JR: And ladies and gentlemen, we have established a telephone connection with Kane who is not here tonight. Kane, what are you doing now ? Kane: Well, JR, I got a hot woman in my room now and I'm going to have sex with her. King: What ?! Well, what are you doing here ? Kane: Well, I'm going to update you throughout the night about what's going on. We're going to do it in my dad's hottub. It'll be great. JR: My gawd, ladies and gentlemen. What a perverted, smelly monster Kane is !

You stole my joke ! I did this like a month ago ! Ah, whatever. You can have it. It's funny no matter who does it. And come on - does Triple H even need his groin anymore ? He can have it removed and wrestle in a true-handicap match. HHH in a wheelchair vs. Jericho, RVD, and Booker T. Of course, do you have to ask who wins ? And as for bed, have Steph strap on the HHHorn and turn Hunter around. He is 'bi' a lot of things - you know? Or he can just call Chyna back too.

Bringing back an old thread. Yep. Even though the movie was about average, Daredevil had an awesome DVD. Multiple camera angles, behind the scenes footage during the movie, two hour-long TV specials, several audio commentaries, outtakes, etc. - and then features on the comic books themselves. Not to mention they even made a version of it where all the action is spoken by someone, so blind people can know what was going on. Great DVD. As for Fight Club, I loved the DVD. But Helena Bonham Carter absolutely ruined that audio commentary she was on. The commentary from the guys would be pretty interesting, and then Helena would randomly BUTT in with comments on her character for 10 minutes. It didn't fit in with the flow of the movie at all (she spoke in parts where she wasn't even present, and didn't even talk about that scene), and after a while, you just had to hope the bitch would shut up. Jeez, she was boring. But oh yeah, Fight Club was a great DVD. Too bad all they have is the shit 1-CD version now though.

But once you give a middle ground for Clemens, you would have to do the same for everyone else that has been inducted into the Hall of Fame, on a team they didn't want, as well as everyone else in the future. You're opening up an entire box of problems for just one person, and no single person - especially Clemens - is worth that much trouble.

Are we back to this argument again ? Look.....Clemens should have to obey the rules of the Hall of Fame like everyone else. He is not God's Gift to Baseball, and he should not be allowed to change the rules that everyone else had to put up with. Recently, Gary Carter wanted to go into the Hall of Fame as a Met. The Mets was the team where he was the most happiest, and that was the team he wanted to be remembered for. But those at the Hall of Fame disagreed, and he wound up going in as an Expo. Now tell me, why should Clemens get different treatment ? He shouldn't. I'm not saying I agree with the HOF criteria. If the player's team-request is reasonable, and the guy was on the team for a couple of seasons, I think he should be allowed to choose how he's entered into the Hall of Fame. But that not how it is right now. Everyone in the HoF has had to go through the Hall of Fame process, being entered in a team they may not necessarily want. Clemens is no different. He has to accept the same rules as everyone else and, if he wishes to continue to bitch and moan, he shouldn't be allowed in at all. ......and, as for the topic, good for Clemens. Even though I think he is a miserable, angry, head-hunting asshole, let him get his props now and then retire.

On a related note, how is the TV editing for Se7en ? I plan to watch it on TNT tomorrow night, but I might just skip over it if the editing is ridiculous.

We've all watched a movie on broadcast TV or a cable channel (like TBS, TNT, etc.) and gone, "How the fuck could they edit that scene out ? It kills the whole movie !" It can pretty much ruin the rest of the film sometimes. But the question is: What is the worst butchering of a movie that you've seen so far ? I might have to say "My Cousin Vinny" on FOX. So many jokes from that movie were cut out by Fox that it was sickening.

So then I guess this means your punches and chairshots can look like the drizzling shits, huh Lance ?

Well, this is actually good for Vince. He now has a logical scapegoat for the low Smackdown rating, by saying it's because of the markets. Otherwise, he would have to face facts and see that the Video Music Awards are a much bigger draw than Smackdown. A possible, face-saving excuse is better than the actual reason in Vince's mind.

Sir, if you keep up this conduct, I will have to report you to the moderators. I am not joking and not being sarcastic.
