Lord of The Curry

I got threatened by somebody from Malvern who, if you know Southern Ontario, is not a good place to be from. I got accused of my store stealing somebodys cell phone. Turned out it was the wrong store. Before she left the bitch said "Sorry I almost clapped your store up."

If somebody could post this guys adress I'd send him money and cookies for doing to Pauly Shore what the world has wanted to do.......forever.

Coleman survived longer then anybody gave him a chance to AND he did take Fedor down. I can't in good conscience say that Fedor made him his bitch.

Not that I'm hating on Nog/Barnett II because their first fight was balls out awesome and this should be no different but.......fuck. That is a bad, bad thing for Pride at this point. But we've still got Hanse/Aoki which is enough to make me shell out the cash to order this show.

To see Ray smack Jonathan around like a bitch. Having said that, I'd bet Yolanda's triangle choke is deadly.

Not the worst but pretty fucking awful.

I'd say I was dissapointed that no previous thread was started for this gem of a film but that'd be holding a level of expectations for this forum, something I found out long ago is a lost cause. This is your best movie of 2006. Don't debate it, just go see it. Unless you like shitty movies, in which case The Benchwarmers is available on DVD currently. This movie cements Mann's status as one of the best directors of this generation, maybe of all time. Sleek as hell, sexier then any T&A in a teen comedy and just cool as fuck. To preface my comments, this wasn't a perfect movie. Far from it. Not on the level of Heat or Last of The Mohicans but as good as Collateral and maybe better. *SPOILERS AHOY* From the opening moments in the nightclub this film draws you in and holds you there. I don't think I've ever used the term "with baited breath" to describe a moment in a movie. This one has quite a few of them. I think we'll be seeing a whole lot more movies filmed using digital technology because of this movie. It has a more visceral, raw feeling that totally compliments Mann's style of filming. Colin Farrell isn't terrible and this is saying something for me because I hadn't liked him in a role up until this point. Sonny Crockett is a good person and he plays him as such. It would be easy for him to be a rebellious asshole who plays by his own rules but he doesn't roll that way and the character is better for it. The romantic subplot between Sonny and the female lead played by Gong Li doesn't do the movie any favours but in the end it doesn't take away from anything. Jamie Foxx is too smooth. Once again he goes against the grain and plays Tubbs as a pretty serious (and badass) motherfucker. I'm sure a lot of people were going into this expecting some laughs at Foxx's expense. Sorry folks. The plot is fairly basic compared to previous Mann movies but it works for the characters because in the end this movie isn't about drugs or fast boats. It's about two men who are at the edge of their own personal boundaries and how far they will go to get past the edge and do what's right. Oh, and the violence is gully. Downright gully. The dude in the trailer getting his head blow to bits elicted a huge "OHHHHHHHHHHHHH" from our theatre as did Foxx blowing away Jose with the shotty at the end. ****.

It's got the long-awaited clash between Al Swearengen and Jack Shephard. Of course I'll be there.

He's huge in Israel. Seriously.

David Cross summed up Paris and Nicole to a tee in three word: Rich.Giggling.Cunts.

Well that's pretty fucking retarded. If we're teaming up players from random seasons I want Jonathan the Douche and Ray the Hard Black Man.

I was hoping for "Dead" or "Kills herself" but this is the next best thing to read.

There are pictures at Alonso's house of him with Crockett and Tubbs so yeah.......you're wrong.

That Dana and Xyience story is complete bullshit, btw. And Lindland back in UFC is pretty cool as he's become a better and different fighter since leaving. Rampage/Chuck or Rampage/Tito would be $$$$ for UFC.

Who is the highest paid in UFC? Is it Liddell or was it Hughes? The only way to even have a chance at Mirko is if they did pull out all the stops, and then some.... And they want Sylvia to lose the belt? Not surprising to me either, but that leaking out is not a good thing for UFC if they are trying (and very hard, mind) to create and maintain an air of legitimacy. I don't think it at all effects the legitimacy of the UFC, they're a business and for a business to run successfully you need to know what your strengths and weaknesses are. Tim Sylvia as your HW champion is not a strength. You're using the phrase "air of legitimacy" as if they aren't.

Yikes, Leo can't be happy with the results of Blood Diamond.

Only way Tito takes this is via cut stoppage and he'll need to get Chuck down in order for it to happen.

Yeah, fuck UFC on this one. They know full well that Tito/Chuck will draw on it's own so they present a fairly lacklustre undercard and stock the show with HW's in a futile attempt to get people to care. I'm interested in seeing Bisping fight and Leben/MacDonald should be fun but other then that there's no reason why I should care about this show. Having said that if Tito wins (LOLLLERS) it would change the LHW landscape dramatically so there is a ray of light here. But, hey, LOLLERS. Speaking of Desouza I saw a clipped version of his fight with Luiz Azeredo in MECA in 04. Holy fuck that looked awesome.

It would be, trust me.

Pretty much. But I figure he's been working on getting Hioki back in TKO for a while so I can only hope but not trust. Horodecki's on the card too which I'll also not believe until I see because as far as I know he's IFL-exclusive.

Hioki/Hominick II is on for the February TKO show. Rudo and myself are issuing a challenge to Tong to make the journey up north even though we know he can't.......or won't.

They got involved because 1) The DEA knew their cover was blown and had to use an outside source to uncover the leak and 2) Miami Dade wasn't a part of the task force so Crockett and Tubbs had perfect cover. They also had a personal reason as the Aryan Brotherhood was responsible for the death of Alonso's girlfriend and drove him to suicide. Pretty simple actually. Gets explained within the first five minutes of the film.

Not even sure if I've seen ten shows this year but Bloc Party at Olympic Island in Toronto was fucking ace. All-around great show with J. Mascis, Broken Social Scene and Feist contributing.

*BUMP* Fuck the haters. I repeat, fuck the haters. This came across just as good if not better upon DVD viewing. I think in order to like this movie you've gotta be a fan of the details. Sure this is a drug-trade based movie but it's not sexy like Blow or gritty like Requiem For A Dream. It's about the technical side of things, transpo and drop-offs, meet and greets and the like. I also really dug it being a film about the GLOBAL drug trade. Most of it does take place in Miami but it's really about two American guys who happen to get caught up in a worldwide situation. Miami, Havana, Haiti, Columbia, Geneva.....it goes all over and does it well. Superb casting. Farrell and Foxx don't need to have "We're super-duper best buddies" chemistry because the movie isn't about their personal relationship, it's about business and they play it like that. Jose Yero is one of the better villains to come along in a while because he's not the guy who think he is but he's very ambitious and wants to move beyond middleman status. Ciaran Hinds has a small but pivotal role with Fujima and I dug him in this too. Absolutely beautiful filming. The shots of Jesus's house in Columbia by the waterfall, the speedboats racing under the bridge to meet the deadline, the tense-as-fuck sequence at the end with the harbour shootout. I don't even hate the subplot between Farrell and Gong Li because it tied in well enough with Tubbs and Trudy and how one of them has to force himself to let go whereas the other can't even put the idea in his head.

And of all of the blocks in Boston the aliens convieniently disregarded the one where the kids mom and her family lives. Awful nice of them space critters.
