  1. Marshall Law is a failed Australian TV series. You're referring to martial law. And how can you not love Jamie Bah Gawd Noble, the Redneck Messiah?
  2. Cody should form a tag team with Kanyon
  3. But JBL's back is messed up, so him carrying the world title is probably not a good idea. Plus, you completely bury CM Punk.
  4. Loses has one 'o'. Looses is basically saying loose, but with an 's'. And holy shit holy shit holy shit
  5. From E Online- People of Scranton, make room for beets. The Office is coming to town. Pressman Toy and NBC Universal will be hosting a day of Office-themed festivities in the real-life version of the Pennsylvania burg where the Dunder Mifflinites push paper for a living to mark the release of a DVD board game and a trivia game revolving around the hit NBC sitcom, which is shot in Los Angeles but has become an important vein of tourism in Scranton. Writer and executive producer Mindy Kaling, who also plays reliably obnoxious customer-service rep Kelly Kapoor, will preside over The Office Games July 19 (a Saturday, so people won't have to call in sick to their actual offices) at the Mall at Steamtown. "Scranton is honored to have been selected as the first city in America whose retailers will stock The Office Trivia Game and DVD Board Game," Scranton Mayor Christopher Doherty said Monday. "We’ll be rolling out the beet red carpet for Ms. Kaling." The event will kick off at 9 a.m. ET with a 2K Fun Run (that promises to actually be fun this time), to be followed by an Office trivia challenge, a Dwight-inspired beet-eating contest and an autograph session for the first 125 fans who purchase one of the two new games. Part of The Office Games proceeds will go toward United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania, which provides community-building opportunities and services throughout northeastern Pennsylvania. "I have been to Scranton before and am really excited to return for this fun event!” Kaling said. The proud city also hosted The Office Convention in October 2007 and worked with NBC to secure episodes for free public screenings, sold official merchandise and lined up a series of writers, actors and producers to participate in Q&As and other activities. In other Office news, NBC also confirmed today that Oscar nominee Amy Ryan will be back for at least five episodes next season as Holly, the Scranton branch's new HR rep who actually finds Michael endearing.

  6. GOLDEN GLOBE AND OSCAR NOMINEE, AMY RYAN, CLOCKS-IN AT DUNDER-MIFFLIN, REPRISING HER GUEST-STARRING ROLE AS THE NEW HR REPRESENTATIVE IN THE EMMY-AWARD WINNING COMEDY "THE OFFICE" Released by NBC [NOTE: The following article is a press release issued by the aforementioned network and/or company.

Amy Ryan's character, Holly Flax, was introduced in the season four finale episode, "Goodbye, Toby," as Toby Flenderson's (played by Paul Lieberstein) human resources replacement. "The Office" season five premieres Thursday, September 25 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on NBC and picks-up from last season's finale, in which Holly Flax (Amy Ryan) joined the Dunder-Mifflin office the day of Toby's big going away party and seemed to strike a special friendship with Michael Scott (Golden-Globe Winner, Steve Carell) and Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner). "Amy gave the character of 'Holly' an openness and matured innocence that exposed a new side of Michael (Steve Carell). She placed her character right on his level. With her, we now go into our fifth season with the possibilities of our first," said Paul Lieberstein, who was recently promoted to executive producer for season five and previously served as co-executive producer of "The Office." Amy Ryan returns to the big screen this October in Clint Eastwood's "Changeling," opposite Angelina Jolie. She will also star in Paul Greengrass' adaptation of the novel "Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone," opposite Matt Damon, which is set for release in December. Ryan also completed the independent films "Bob Funk" written and directed by Craig Carlisle and "The Missing Person" also written and directed by Noah Buschel, both due out in 2009. Ryan received critical acclaim for her role as Helen McCready in the 2007 film, "Gone Baby Gone," opposite Casey Affleck, Morgan Freeman and Ed Harris. Her sympathetic portrayal of an otherwise despicable character was recognized with Academy Award, Golden Globe and SAG nominations in the Best Supporting Actress categories. Additionally, Ryan garnered Best Supporting Actress awards from the National Board of Review, Broadcast Film Critics Association (Critic's Choice Awards), New York Film Critics Circle, Los Angeles Film Critics and the Film Critics Societies of Boston, Washington D.C. and San Francisco. Ryan's previous film work includes; "Dan in Real Life," directed by Peter Hedges, "Capote," directed by Bennett Miller, "War of the Worlds," directed by Steven Spielberg, "Keane," directed by Lodge Kerrigan and "You Can Count on Me," directed by Kenneth Lonergan. In television, Ryan's credits are extensive, with over thirty guest star performances and over eight series regular or recurring characters on primetime television shows. Most notably, she starred for five seasons as Officer Beatrice "Beadie" Russell on the critically acclaimed HBO drama "The Wire." On Broadway, she is a two-time Tony nominated actress for her performances in "Uncle Vanya," in 2000 and "A Street Car Named Desire" in 2005, opposite John C. Reilly. She also starred in "The Distance from Here" in London's West End. "The Office" is executive-produced by Ben Silverman, Greg Daniels, who developed the series for American audiences, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Howard Klein and is a production of Deedle-Dee Productions, Reveille LLC in association with Universal Media Studios.
  7. Tank Abbott v. Big Al is my 2000 MOTY
  8. What's with trading the negotiation rights? Don't teams know that people are negotiating with these guys anyway before July 1?
  9. See, but you say mediocre as if it were fact. I didn't think it was mediocre at all. I thought it was great. Kahran was saying that he's not a snob, as he is able to enjoy a popcorn flick, like Iron Man. He just found Transformers to be medicore. Really Dama, it's Transformers. Eddie Winslow is in it.
  10. Johnny Nitro, Chavo Guerrero and Mark Henry- quite the lineage.
  11. I'm not sure, but goldengreek is the one whose posts are usually mind numbingly stupid
  12. you are insane No, goldengreek, ANKLELOCK is correct. Cena was a great champion, his main events are great, and as ANKLELOCK said, since half the people hate him, and the other love him, his matches have great heat.
  13. Yes. I never read his posts because of it.
  14. Edge wouldn't accept the countout because he wanted to win the match.
  15. Do you know which is the best channel?
  16. But Bret's always been a huge mark for himself and his character, and takes everything too seriously.
  17. Yes, most movies increase their box office gross from Friday to Saturday, since Saturday is the biggest movie going day. Generally, when a movie declines from Friday to Saturday, it's a sign of iffy long term prospects, though that is not always the case.
  18. I thought Wanted might do 25-30 million, I was totally off. I know tracking it had in the low 30s. $50 million is just insane! Wall-E falling from Friday to Saturday is something I don't get at all. I wonder if this means it has iffy long-term prospects.

  20. Right, you can have an opinion that it was an entertaining movie. And people can think Transformers sucked, without being labelled as movie snobs.
  21. QUOTE (Тайг @ Jun 29 2008, 01:57 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i'm not much into music, but the snobbetry thing transends into other areas. i hate music snobs. and even worse... wrestling snobs. and they ARE the worst, according to me. and really, i'm the only opinion that matters to me. People who post in lower case. Use a shift button, assholes.
  22. So because it's a summer popcorn flick, it's excused from being criticised? I like summer popcorn flicks as much as the next guy, but Transformers was a big bloated mess. There were about ten different times in the movie, where the dialogue was so inane and awful, that my friend and I turned to each other and said: Michael Bay. I wanted a fun popcorn flick. I got a 2 hr 25 minute illogical mess with half finished subplots and an anti-climatic battle scene. By the time we got the big battle scene, at that point I didn't even care who was the good robot and who was the bad one. I just wanted the mess to end.
  23. I think WWE 24-7 putting random out of context Thunder episodes up would be amazing
  24. People who post in lower case. Use a shift button, assholes.
  25. Enigma smells a little gay around here
