If there was ever a time you could say that the defense wasn't to blame for giving up 5 touchdowns it was monday. The offense really did fuck them over there.

Thats a big fucking grandma swinging a hammer.

Apparently they have changed alot of stuff after the initial bad reviews so he might have been cut. He was a leggless war vet in the version I saw. But apparently, its alot different now. So maybe I will go see it when it comes out to see what they did. Although personally, i don't see how he could possibly change this movie to appeal to a larger audience. Either you are into the david Lynchian out there, strange stuff or you aren't, and trying to appeal to a mass audience is just going to alienate the people that would have liked the original while still not appealing to the mass audience simply because of the nature of the film.

I always say that the "p" stands for placebo, because if you tell people its a 1080p TV, they swear the quality is SO much better than the 1080i. Even though what they are watching is being broadcast in 1080i. Just saying the "p" will make people say "See, the picture is so much smoother". While the difference can be noticable(although most times its not at normal viewing distances), and it definately makes video game view smoother since alot of people sit closer with video games, the price difference between the two is not justifiable right now. Of course, this won't stop anyone from going for the 1080p, higher priced ones and making the prices of the 1080i ones keep dropping. Which is cool with me. I would like a 37 inch Philips LCD and I should be able to get one around 500 bucks soon.

If you go in knowing that you are about to see a total mind-fuck then you will be good. The ending alone will enduce booing from most people. This will be a cult hit but most will hate it.

They always just send you a new unit instead of actually waiting to repair the one that you sent in. Thats just how they do it and it makes sense. You are just shell shocked from this whole exchange. Everything is fine, and you will be xbox playing again tommorrow.

Really if you look at it though, Yao has been pretty healthy for his career. The last two seasons have been drop offs, but like I said before, he had legit injuries to cause those games missed. That infection in his big toe(although that was mostly his fault) and his broken leg. Not one of those "he is big" injuries that guys like Muresan or even Shaq have had recently where their sheer size causes them to be injured. His games per season have gone 82, 82, 80, 57, 48. I am not ready to call the guy injury prone yet. Now Tracy....

I liked the NES versions of Contra, Double Dragon and Ninja Gaiden more than their arcade counterparts.

Lee was awesome at doing faces. It really looked like he didnt even try on Ando back there.

Watching Tyronne Lue had games to people is just annoying. Mike Woodson is the worst coach I have ever seen in the pro ranks, fuck worst coach now. The team goes up when Acie Law gets in the game and starts losing when Tyronne is in the game. Yet he keeps playing Lue who can't defend, and holds the ball and stops the entire team from moving. Ugh.

Did any of you read the article. The whole time he was talking about what a great team they were and he likes their chances of going undefeated but the whole spying thing gave people a chance to critisize something about it. Goddamn, you can't even complement the team anymore.
-
I don't think its unfair with Wilson because others around him had already started grasping change and he went about his way to undo it. He effectively got to Washington and looked around and said "You know...this part of the country could use some Jim Crow laws." You can definately blame him for that. I don't think you can blame older presidents for owning slaves and such, because they were rich southerners. Thats just what went on.

To be fair, Yao deserves to be an allstar. I don't see how Yi will ever become one of the best SF's in the game though. That is the premier position in the NBA right now.

He did more than screen Birth of a Nation. History of the American People (which he wrote) was part of the basis of the screenplay. Plus, he resegregated the federal government. I think he was just mad because his mom gave him a black name.

Hey. Don't blame me. I came home for work and there was my cat walking backwards trying to get out of this skunk outfit. So I immediately took a picture...because it was funny, and got it off them.

What the hell happened to Jim Lees art style. That guy was my hero at a time, but now...ugh.
-
Pretty cool epiode. And there are two paintings left, Mohinder the shooter and dead HRG. I do have a feeling that the season will end all ghey with Hiro finally getting through to "Adam" and his faith in him to be a great hero or whatever. This leading to him cutting out his own heart and that will somehow stop the plauge.

I am planning on getting a 28" widescreen HDTV, and the size is more motivated by the size of my apartment(s) (I use plural because I'm probably moving to another one in the next few months, though it won't be much bigger) than anything else, and as I said, it just depends on what you use it for. I think your math may be a tad off, as I don't think I've ever lost THAT much off SD programming and you have to consider that many people don't mind a bit of stretching or zooming for standard definition on smaller screens, myself included. Ew. Stretcho screen...I can't do it. The math is right though. There is a screen calcuator on Cnet i think too that will do it for you. If size is a issue, yeah, any flat screen would beat the 4:3, mostly because of the sheer weight and width of a CRT. I have a 32 inch 4:3 CRT HDTV and that thing is fucking huge. I also just won a 32 inch LCD flat, which is in the living room now, because I do watch alot of things in HD and I have no problem with a 26 in SD display, but my point was that to call a 4:3 screen a ripoff is wrong, because at this point, no mater what size of TV you get, mathmatically, you will always get more screen with the 4:3 than the widescreen.

Don't need anything spectacular. I don't notice a whole hell of a lot of improvement from my component to HDMI upgrade, other than a little stability on text on screen. I'd say the greater advantage is the neater connection of having one cable instead of five. Hell, since PS3 and 360 now offer HDMI, try a MadCatz brand or other video game third party. Probably be the cheapest way to go, and there's really not much difference between different HDMI cables for my money. You can get one for 6 bucks from Amazon.

I'm sorry but her acting was nothing special for the bulk of that ep. Her "daddy" phone call, she seemed to slip into a comfort zone, but she was trying too hard to "evil" it up.

Why do they even take the time to do it after the first 3 weeks?
-
I agree completely.

That is what he is doing now, and it is going to cause the same problems as it did in Portland(him dominating the ball too much). When he is on the block on the inside he is most effective. And sorry dude, but he is an Amare level defender. They both are. They might get you a weakside shot block or something but most other times, they are just the worse defender in the building.

Yeah, Curry taking only 8 shots last night wasn't cool, although alot of that has to do with Crawford still being a fucking chucker and will put up 15-20 shots a game. EVERY Knick game should be in the 70's and 80's with them constantly pounding it inside to Curry or Zach. I should be the most boring ass basketball in the history of the world. But they would win.

This is year 3. There is no got to learn with Mike Woodson. He is simply a horrible head coach. I can not accept a guy that is in his third year as a coach and still has to use timed substitutions because he has a tendacy to forget to put guys in the game. Or his constant attempts to keep his players humble. Its annoying and he has to go, but its just not going to happen with the front office being such a mess.
