Ripper

Except it was good and Oh Boy sucked all to holy hell.

Oh comeon thats just plain reaching. Okay. Air it Out is the shit.

no goddammit, this is not falling to the bottom of the page. Find the fucking movie people!!!

I wouldn't go as far as saying the ONLY one to say it. They do say he is overrated, but that is because he gets press because he is Joss Whedon, thus making him overrated(according to alot of people) I personally think he is a very good writer in the X books, not the best, but not the worse either. Joss whedon is VERY good at directing actors, but he is not very good at setting up shots and the like. Give him a great DP, and he could really direct the hell out of a movie. I would rather him write the thing than direct it though.

What did you eat? -=Mike ...Asking irrelevant questions --- AND stealing Ripper's gimmick --- for almost an hour... Toasted sub. Italian. It kicked all kinds of ass. My coke was watered down though. But I was able to deal with the tragedy. Your people have suffered much. It doesn't seem to be getting any better. -=Mike ...Watered-down Coke? Sure you didn't order a C2?... No it was a fountain coke and the thing tasted like water. But it didn't take away from the kick ass of the toasted sub. Shoulda just stuck with the pink lemonnade.

The important thing to mention here is that I was eventually able to get something to eat and get home at a decent time. You can all rest easy now.

There is way too much discussion of KKK in this thread. That hippie loving bitch isn't worth our time. So STOP it right now.

Becaues college baseball and College Hockey aren't nearly as profitable as College Hoops. When kids don't play NCAA hoops they are taking the free money out of the NCAA pockets.

This has something to do with April Fools day. It really has to.

The problem is that college basketball and NBA basketball are two completely different games. College players that come into the league take years to really help their team unless they are some freakish talent, just like the High School players. To call Chandler and Curry bust is...well...laughable. They are two of the major pieces to a winning team, and Chandler is quite the defensive standout, and seeing as he has always said his goals were to lead the league in rebounding and win defensive player of the year, he never intended to be a offensive threat. Curry has turned into a offensive threat, which he was supposed to be. To call people bust for not being hall of famers when they were picked high isn't really fair, seeing as there are dozens more high picks that played 4 years of college that didn't really make a impact at all (Christain Latner, Danny Ferry, Pervis Ellison, Acie Earl, Rex Walters, Joe Smith just to name a few. And there are literally dozens more from just the lottery over the past few years). Telfair has played very well as a rookie. Honestly, i have to question if a person has been watching basketball at all if they call Josh Smith(an incredible shot blocker and very good rebounder) and J.R. Smith(very good all around game) "just dunkers" or call Darius Miles(good all around game) "just a dunker" either after his year in Portland(ignoring outburst at coach). Brown, Outlaw, Ebi, Perkins...none can really be called a bust. Ebi was the 26th pick in the draft. There is no such thing as a 26th pick draft. They are a gamble pick anyway, and he has been injured. Travis Outlaw went at the 23rd pick and in Portlands recent youth movement when he has been getting quality minutes, he is averaging about 14 points a game. To be fair to Kwame Brown, Michael Jordan and Doug Collins set him back about 2 seasons. Kedrick Perkins was the 27th pick of the draft. Once again, if youget ANYTHING from a player taken that high in the NBA draft, you did a good job. Such "great" players as Corie Blount, and Byron Houston were drafted there, and that is what you expect. A Jamal Tinsley is a rarity. If there were more High school to NBA bust than there were sucesses, then okay, I would conceed, but they aren't. More of them are good/decent players. Something that doesn't want to be admitted but will eventually have to be, the highschoolers are a more sensible pick that alot of the college guys.

Actually, I think it'd be the opposite case. Players busting ass to make the cut means they'll be FORCED to develop, or else play for a small club for the rest of their career. Teams need standout players and leaders anyway. The GM could choose to bring up a spotlight-stealer, or someone who gets by as a good role-player/fundamentals kinda guy. Depends what the team needs, and what their players are capable of. You obviously haven't seen the Clippers play. For years, the Clippers were just a team of players that were playing to get a good contract when theirs is up with theclippers. So basically you had a great shooter "most of the time Eric Piakowski" that never got to shoot because everyone on the team was a black hole. Good or bad, putting up 20 points will get you more looks than being that role player that gets it done. Guys suffering the minors are not about to make the extra pass to the open guy when they could pad their stats. Fast break? Who ever has the ball first is taking it all the way. Big men in the NBA will get it on the block, if they get pushed out to far will kick it back out, get better position and get it right back. Try that shit with a free agent passing you the ball. You aren't getting the ball back. In the sense of practice and learning at practice, yeah, they will get more opportunity, but in real basketball experience, I just don't see it happening.

Its funny cause she's not famous.

Did he come out with another after Death is Certain?

I don't think that a minor league system would work in the NBA. Basketball is a sport that when played perfectly, is a great team game. However, if one person is looking to pad their stats, they can do so. In other words, one has the ability to turn a NBA game into a personal showcase instead of like baseball and football. You take a group of guys, all trying to play and show their abilities so that they can get to the bigs, there won't be much development at all.

I have a new lamp. discuss

Obie Trice is pretty fucking hot though. Obie=Royce>50 in my eyes.

I couldn't write out the sound of a man choking on a rock, but you did a better job than me.

They never had any kinda deal. Royce had a deal with Columbia and Royce was with Interscope. Royce got dropped from Columbia, tried to get on to Ems label, Em said he was signing anymore artist for a while after he signed d-12 and then went right out and signed Obie Trice and 50 Cent. Thus we have BEEF.

He went to Ohio.

editted for accuracy Everyone can see it coming now with 50 making his comments about how he doesn't need em or Dre to make a hit anymore and hinting he isn't likeing his cut of the cash. Bitch, you made 20 million last year, you were a unsigned shot up pussy begging Nas to put you on before this, so shut the fuck up and take your slice of the pie and quit bitching.

No, I won't take them for what they are. If these movies stared white actors, they would be called the stupid bullshit that they are. Because they are "black" films we have to pretend they are decent? No. A bad movie is a bad movie. There is nothing loving or love storyish about Poetic Justice. It was a poorly written, poorly acted, poorly paced, horrible movie. The dialouge was laughably ridiculous, as it was in Jasons Lyric. Just bad acting left and right, bad story, and purely unbelieveable "romance" in them. Juice, like New Jack City, looked like a great movie when I came out, but they aged horribly. I dare you to go watch those movies today and still be able to call them good. They are really cheesy and corney little movies. Poetic Justice was supposed to be a romantic/drama. It failed miserably. Juice was supposed to be a drama...it failed miserably. I don't judge acting in a horror movie or a martial arts flick because I don't expect them to be have great acting. You are watching for another reason. Drama/Action/romance...those are all genres that good film making should be expected. And I don't care if it is a all purple cast, when a movie sucks, like these do they suck. Now I can understand if you like them, but i am not with the whole "taken for what they are they are good movies" they aren't. Taken for what they are, they are failed attempts at good film making.

No, more than two, but that was all that I could name off the top of my head. actually, if you look at the players drafted between 1995(the year KG started this whole thing back up) and 2000, 13 players declaired themselves eligible and 9 of them: Garnett, Bryant, McGrady, Jermaine O'Neal, Rashard Lewis, Al Harrington, Darius Miles, Jonathan Bender and DeShawn Stevenson all remain in the league contributing to their teams in some way with 7 of them being damn fine players, at least above average by NBA standards. Leon Smith and Korleone Young were gone with in a year, although Leon came back a few times after his brushes with the law, which would have happened had he been in college. Taj McDavid and Ellis Richardson weren't drafted, but they couldn't get the scores to get into college and they weren't that good anyway. So in those 5 years, they are 9-4 on good to bad. After that, I can think of Amare Stoudemire, Lebron James, Travis Outlaw, Nbudi Ebi, Kedrick Perkins, Dwight Howard, Shaun Livingston, Robert Swift, Sebastian Telfair, Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, J.R. Smith, Dorell Wright, Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, Eddie Curry, and Desagna Diop. I can hosnetly say, outside of Diop, you would be hard pressed to name any of the rest of them flops.

Can someone tell me the "bust" from Highschool to NBA. The only ones I can come up with are Leon Smith and MAYBE Kwame Brown, although he showed flashes last year. I think that the successes FAR outnumber the bust. I can name guys like Joe Smith and Michael Olajakandilksfldsjf and Shawn Bradly that played college careers and proceeded to be high draft picks and suck to high hell. Nba/highschool....what ever. good players are going to be good, bad players are going to suck. I don't see the connection between the two. And I don't know what college you guys went to, but getting ass from coeds constantly isn't exactly the path to maturity. Not knocking college, but dude...seriouly. Back up plan to the NBA? They are going to be millionares. Even with a career ending injury, they will be millionares. You can pay for college later. Plus, college education in now way equals a good career. Also, FUCK college basketball. Until the include a pay for these kids. FUCK college basketball. I am serious. There is no reason these kids, drawing millions upons millions of dollars to the NCAA shouldn't be able to have at least 4-500 dollaars a month spending money. You can't get a job if you are in the NCAA, so why not. The thing I hate most about this is the fact that if a player needs money, and needs it now (like the way Magic Johnson did) they will not have the option to capitalize on their talents until one or two years while their family will have to suffer. That opens the door wide open to fixed college games, point shaving and under the table dealings. Players leaving college early to support a struggling family happens more often than you think.
