People forget that the X-Men comic was never that popular until the late 1970s. Crockum was instrumental in the creation of the characters and team that made the book a global phenomena. He deserves as much credit for the X-Men's success as Claremont, Byrne, or Stan Lee do.

Now people are just rewriting the story to fit their point of view. I don't see the part where it says the guys were followed back to their car by a guy they saw had a gun,or the guy stood in front of them, blocking their escape. **looks again** Nope, still don't. In other words, someone--probably the police--are saying they did in fact identify themselves. In other words, we don't know if they did or didn't based on the story.

Is that English?

Get out while you still can.

Everytime I read this thread's title, I get my hopes up for some reason.

Getting hit by a car would probably make me something besides nervous.

He hit someone with his car, though. That's a serious offense no matter what color the person is. Even if it wasn't a cop, because the guy had no way of knowing unless the police identified themselves, he still hit someone with his car, hit another vehicle twice, and drove off. That's still attempted murder. I'm not going to get into an argument over how much force the police should have used, but the guy definitely provoked the incident.

No, I got it. I just really, really like dissing John Edwards.

Its called attempted murder of a police officer.

I dont think you'll find anyone who will admit in public that they enjoy 2 1/2 men. Its not as bad as The Office but dear god, its just plain bad. Someone thinks "Two and a Half Men" is better than "the Office"? Maybe that's not the same as being a fan of it, but I am now pointing and laughing at you.

That's an excellent observation.

You're the one who made the JFK comparison, not me.

I'm not going to get into an argument over how much force the police should have used, because I'm not an expert on police procedures. However, people on this thread are completely ignoring what the guy did to provoke the police, and are suggesting that the police shouldn't have fired at all or that he was singled out because he was black. That's simply not the case.

John Edwards is no Jack Kennedy. Hence the picture.

Let's review: -Group is partying at 4 am and gets into argument. -Guy in group says he has a gun. -Other guy hits a police officer with his car and drives off. -Same car hits a police van TWICE and keeps driving. While it is tragic that he lost his life, this man was not an innocent victim.

Do you realize that JFK and John Edwards are so different that you had to make up a alternate reality just to have some way to say that they're alike?

"I don't have HBO" seems like a pretty good reason. The DVD box sets are expensive.

For me it was "Oh, God! You Devil." For those of you unfamiliar with the series, George Burns played God in 3 fims where God comes to Earth and decides to only reveal himself to people no one would ever believe. In the final film, Burns plays both God and the Devil in 80s spit-screen goodness. In typical movie fashion, the Devil tempts a guy into selling his soul for fame and prizes. God must intervene. The final confrontation involves the two sitting at a poker table arguing with each other. I think audiences were supposed to go "Wow...two George Burns!"

I must be the only person in America without HBO.

It seems like Ord and Danger being pat of the illusion would make more sense. They show up both together and at a time inconvenient for the X-Men? Doesn't add up.

Since most "reality shows" involve some form of contest, couldn't most the genre be considered a sub-genre of the game show? And the other half be considered a documentary sub-genre?

I don't think anybody's splitting hairs. One guy's trying to correct everyone else even though he's wrong.

No fair. I like all 3 of those shows. Damn it.

I think everyone who says something isn't funny must give 2 examples of things they do find funny, so others can have the same pleasure of tearing down their opinions. For example, I'd really love to find out that one of the people who dislikes "The Office" or "Arrested Development" is secretly a fan of "Two and a Half Men." That way we can at least have the collective pleasure of pointing, laughing, and calling that person an idiot.

Superjerk. Who seems to have problems of his own with women. Hey, cool...I'm finally known for something besides being a generally disagreeable asshole. And congrats to Leena. (Get out while you still can.)
