Yea, Hell Ride was pretty bad. David Carradine and Hopper were awesome though. Way too many strippers fucking the writer-director. Also, DarKnight, QT only helped the star (forget his name) get the movie made. He really had nothing to do with the creative end.

This never happened, but thanks! I know Bischoff and 3MW were once messing with Blassie when he was in is wheelchair, but the Dudleyz saved

Now, now, I said the retard kid being hers was just a rumour. I think the Cheney thing was a convenient way for him to not speak, since everyone hates him anyway. Shame, as I enjoy Cheney's speeches.

I know Disaster Movie got some heat from critics for being released the weekend of the third year anniversary of Katrina. And now there's an actual disaster heading to NO again! Oh, spoof movies.

The minute I heard that, it made me want to see it. I love troubled productions

Yes, Labour Day weekend has historically been a dumping ground for movies that studios know have minimal box office prospects.

They're planning on changing up the ceremony so it's not what you described

Most studios treat Labour Day as a 4-day weekend, so I'll post the 4-day estimates tomorrow as well.

That's not true at all. It's hard to take a main eventer seriously if they lose all the time, since fans won't want to get behind a loser.

That's awesome. Why would the Rockets ever agree to that?

As to Palin's lack of national security experience, Cindy McCain said, "Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia. So, it's not as if she doesn't understand what's at stake here. It's also about making decisions and be targeted in what she thinks. She has a great mind. And she has a very serious direction in where she goes." I wonder if the Republicans toning sown the convention is going to end up being a positive or negative for them.

Deon, stop posting in current events. You're awful. My hardcore Democrat friend is claiming that the retard kid is actually the 17-year old daughter's and not Palin's. I'm cautiouslly optimistic about the veep pick, but if the Republicans can win with Dan Quayle, surely Palin can't hurt too much.

The editing out of the Radicalz during HHH v. Austin was just stupid

As a huge Huckabee supporter, I was disappointed that he wasn't even considered.

I think the Republicans are counting on Biden coming across like a bully and making himself look bad.

That's not what I meant, but thanks! The thread evolved into a Mitch Hedberg jokefest. It happens.

Who cares? The thread has veered so far off topic, let people have fun. If that's how the thread evolves, it's how it evolves.

CNN is killing the pick. Good stuff

Disaster Movie is still picked to make 10-11 million this weekend, sadly. Boll's films are so bad that most theatres refused to run Postal

Obama entered to U2's City of Blinding Lights

Why must Obama use my favourite song of all-time as his entrance music?

In my AP US History class, I got called to the principal's office because our teacher asked us to do teacher evaluations, that were supposed to be anonymous.

I also would love when the defence would call someone and then accuse them of being the killer, to get the reasonable doubt. I lost interest when Richard died, and when Bobby had the guy kill William Hicks. Bobby was clearly 100% obviously no way you can acquit guilty (they even pointed this out!) and he still got off. Come on! And then his wife gets tried for murder? Really? Really?

What I love about The Practice is that every episode was the same. The guy was clearly guilty, the team just used reasonable doubt and accused someone else of doing it, then they won and had the crisis of conscience at the end. Or the DA would try to do what they did, and it'd get overturned and they'd have the crisis of conscience. Still a fun show, David E. Kelly makes great guilty pleasure television. But fuck him for killing him Richard.
