Ripper

It could really be some crazy asshole that did it because they missed the playoffs too. Thats just plain sad.

Sad thing is he is a upgrade over Matt Freige.

I will say that if any actress played Deena and played it the EXACT same way that Beyonce played it, people would say she did a good job. But because it was Ms. Knowles people are shitting all on her good performance.

Dear god atlanta, go and get the guy and fire Mike Woodson.

You mean kinda like how Billups did on the play to give them the lead? I think that is why they are bitching so hard. They lost the game on basically the same type of play that Billups won it on.

To be fair, Backyard Wrestling was Power Stone with New Jack and Violent Jay. That wasn't exactly a wrestling game.

Yeah, he was so dead that he was still regularly performing. And out performing most of the artist today. Not that you could understand a fucking thing he was saying anymore, but he still was doing his thing. But I am lucky enough to have seen him live in a few years back, and that will always stick with me. RIP dude.

First thing I thought of when I heard the story and I am sure millions around the country did too because of that fucking Dana Carvey. RIP and all, but he lived a long and full life.

Damn good movie. Stuck pretty faithfully to the play except for two parts that I can think of and they weren't horrible at all. As for the performances: Eddie Murphy : Amazing. Should definately be seeing a best supporting actor nod come Oscar time. I have nothing bad to say about his performace. Perfect. Beyonce: Damn good performance. She played a damn good Diana/Deena Jones. Plus her performance of Listen was great. There is one or two cringe worthy delievery of lines but not any more than you see out of any actor or actress. Everything she has done before now is officially written off in my eyes and she can now be seen as a actress, although I have this feeling that she will negate this performance with whatever she does next. And if being pretty was a talent, she would win awards for this movie...or something like that...its late. Jennifer Hudson: Amazing. Should definately be seeing best supporting actress nod come Oscar time. I fully realize that the part of Effie is pretty much showing limited range(Sassy, Angry, Sad). But she played them all convincingly and performed the HELL out of the songs. Dreamgirls has "And I am telling you I am not going" as its make or break number. If the girl playing Effie gives a alright performance then people will come away saying it was just alright. Well, the entire theater broke out in applause (well except for me and a few other people who probably realized how stupid it was to applaud at a screen) during and after her number, and honestly it was awe inspiring. I know that the studio is trying to push Listen as a Oscar Nom for Best Song (I guess get Beyonce one and Jennifer one of Best Supporting) but her performance of this song blows most anything I have seen in film away. Amazing overall performance. Jamie Foxx: You can't be more middle grown with a performance. He wasn't bad, he wasn't great. He was...good. He spent to much of the movie making these wierd scowls (because he was the villian you see) and that just looked silly. His performance when he actually had lines was pretty good. But Foxx should never have to convey a emotion with his eyes and facial expression again, because its just not very good. I musical numbers it looked like he forgot to move his lips sometimes, but his voice was strong, as expected. He also did a good job of showing the subtle villiany of Curtis, so in that aspect, good job. Anika Noni Rose: This girl will go down as the most underapprecited performace in the movie. She almost did a better job than everyone of the girls in the movie. Great job with her voice (in the beginning conveying youth and having a stonger more mature voice as the film went on and her character got older) and went from giggly school girl to full fledged woman. Damn good job. I am sure the Tony's that she has at home will confort her when people forget her subtle performance next to Beyonce and Hudson's. As for the other characters, the guy who played C.C. couldn't act but could sing, so thats...something. Sharon Leal's vocal strength was not used as well as it could have been and her character came off more annoying than in the stage play. Loretta Devine makes a cameo as a Jazz singer and it was good to see her in there and her song is kinda a shout out to her role in the original. And I marked the fuck out for Hinton Battle who no one else recognized so fuck them. Overall, great movie experience, although I don't think that it is a best picture nominee with this being such a powerful year in film. If this was last year it would win hands down to me, IMO. That is something. A movie that I feel shouldn't get a Nom this year would have won last year. Last year sucked.

So my Hawks to the playoff prediction is officially over I would guess. Josh Childress still out with a broken foot, Josh Smith out at least a month when he had hernia surgery the other day, ZaZa Pachulia sprained his elbow, Tyrone Lue has a slight tear in his groin, Sheldon Williams has a dislocated shoulderbut is playing through it, Marvin Williams reinjured his broken hand but is playing through it, and Speedy Claxton has the dreaded back spasms. Thats basically the entire fucking team.

Something just plain wrong happened this year. I didn't completely hate Fergie's album or the Pussy Cat Dolls album. Although I know I should have....I just...didn't. But that girl with thepussy cat dolls can really sing though. Then there are ther other ones that are just there. Anyway, I wouldn't call their albums good or anything but they weren't horrible either. That just doesn't feel right.

The pistons beat a shell of the Hawks team. They are missing 59 points a game tonight. Now Josh Smith, Speedy Claxton, Tyrone Lue, Zaza Pachulia and Josh Childress are all out with injuries. Thats 3 starters and two bench guys that average 15 points a game each.

"Dump"? The funniest thing to me is how animated the dude to the far left is on the video on there. But if dude wants his name to be dump who am I to argue.

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/basketball/...fight23.article Awvee Storey pulls a Rudy T on Martynas Andriuskevicius. Hope he is okay.

46 actually. Oh he had 54? I thought 52 Yes...I can add.

Yeah...sounds professionally done. But still. Eh. Not my taste. I would change the hook from saying the same 4 words over and over again. These are some friends of a friend that are looking for a deal. I can't think of any reason they are getting lots of airplay in Atlanta with some of the shit they play on the radio here. http://www.myspace.com/maccityonline

Didn't Nash and D'Antoni recieve the only tecnicals of the game? They both got techs. Suns got sympathy calls last night because of their fucked up situation but bad calls none the less, but the Wiz were on it and thats all it is too it. So Gilbert needs 48 in his next game to fullfill his promise to drop 100 points on the suns this year.

But that also is a big difference from DEMANDING a trade. THe sixers got screwed on this deal by the way. There is no way anyone is going to tell me this was the best deal they could have gotten. They probably could have gotten two young guys that woudl contribute and draft picks from boston...a BETTER draft pick than two late twenty picks. And as for Allen Iverson. You dont have multiple games with 15 plus assist in the NBA without being a pretty good playmaker. You don't have 16 assist in game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals with your supporting cast being Aaron Mckie, Tyrone Hill and Mutumbo unless you can be one hell of a playmaker. These guys will be fine. They still aren't better than the top 3 teams in the west (Suns, Dallas, Spurs) and I am not sure if they could take the Lakers.

Mike Epps is going to have to be plenty seroius if he is doing a Richard Pryor bi-op like I heard.

And I get ahead of myself as Mike Woodson gets entirely outcoached in the 4th quarter and COUGHED up the game. That is a game that should get a coach fired.

There are going to be alot of "What happend to Utah losing to Atlanta and NewYork" but Atlanta is getting healthy and they are starting to be a tough team.

There is no reason the suns should be on a 18 game winning streak when they play the mavs. Amare put up those numbers in 25 minutes last night which is really great. They just took it to Toronto who aren't looking pretty without Bosh.

Nash has 10 assist in the first quarter. I say go for Skile's record tonight. edit: he is at 13 with 3 minutes to go in the first half.

Because now there will never be another fight in sports? Whatever. They are pulling that same "this is not our league" crap. It is a bunch of competitve guys going at each other hard for 3 hours a night. It is going to happen. It should be expected to happen. Its fucking sports.

Didn't edge or christian end up getting this big ass hole in their arm from that spot before?
