    OAO Troy Thread

    I studied abroad in Melbourne for six months, and we watched it for one of my classes. I love the movie, I think it's hilarious. I even showed it to my girlfriend, who has never been to Australia and she found it to be a really funny movie. And then Coco had a son. We named it "Son of Coco". I also saw Garage Days when I was over there, about the band that wants to play a festival and it turns out they are really terrible. I thought it was pretty funny, and it has an August US DVD release date, so I'll be picking that up as well. I think the humor in the Castle is easier to get if you've been to/live in Australia but it's funny for everyone nonetheless.

    Eddie Murphy's Delirious

    Wow, glad I got to it before it was removed. What did the guy yell that caused Eddie to drop the mic and laugh like crazy? I couldn't make it out. Anyone know?

    Holy Crap, I clicked that link and it said that Eric Bana was in the Castle. I didn't remember him, so I threw in the DVD to check, and sure enough he's the kickboxing husband. Damn, I didn't realize. So I do own some Eric Bana comedy, I guess making me one of the few Americans.

    This Week in Baseball

    I couldn't disagree with this more, Al. Of course, it's true that based on their play the Marlins should have a worse record than they do. But I don't look at it like they are coming back to earth. They just aren't playing to their potential right now. Take a stroll through the lineup. I know tables get messed up, so the stats are listed in the order of BA, OBP, SLG, OPS Luis Castillo: .239 .310 .283 .592 Alex Gonzalez: .200 .224 .338 .562 Jeff Conine: .260 .300 .366 .666 Ramon Castro: .139 .200 .266 .466 Now look at career numbers: Castillo: .290 .365 .352 .717 Gonzalez: .242 .288 .386 .674 Conine: .287 .348 .451 .799 Castro: .216 .294 .370 .664 So, on any given night 4/9 Marlins entire Starting Lineup is playing so well below what they are capable of, is it any wonder that no runs are being scored? I don't think they are "coming back down to earth". I think they have nowhere to go but up. It can't get any worse than this, especially for these 4. June 2 vs. NYM I think is when the Marlins will turn it around for the rest of the season. That's AJ Burnett's return, and I think it's the going to save the season. Enough, hopefully, that a quality catcher can be traded for by the trade deadline, because this Castro/Redman platoon is a disaster.

    I think it's glorious. Last I saw it was 6-0 and I come back to check the score the Phillies lost... Ha! Tough loss Phillies fans.

    Marlins and Houston tangle again starting tomorrow in Florida. Looking good... Marlins miss Clemens and send Willis, Pavano, and Beckett. Nice. And Aj Burnett throws an extended spring training game today and will make a start in double A next week. He's due back June 2nd against the Mets. From what I've been reading in the Miami Herald he's improved his motion and his stuff is going to be even more electric than before (which lead the league in shutouts).

    The OAO Sopranos season 5 thread

    There's going to have be some rules and conditions. Like What? Like you can't bring your horse in the house. That was pretty damn funny.

    The OAO Sopranos season 5 thread

    So, was the end part of the dream sequence or not, because after the phone conversation with Carmela, I got the feeling he could have still been dreaming. I mean, he knows Tony B. killed the guy anyway, so that could have been part of his dream even though it really did happen.

    Well it's finally happened... Dontrelle Willis brought in to the Marlins game today as a pinch hitter. He grounded out to 2nd.

    I wouldn't exactly call that news, but ok. Marlins have left the bases loaded twice already. So frustrating. But they are still up 3-1.

    TSM Movie Tournament

    I'd lack to back the nomination that Godfather can't be in this tournament, since it won the last one. Shawshank has every right, however.
  13. Based on the teaser, I thought this was about an old washed up superhero, but now he's here in good shape ready to fight crime (and portrayed by the original "Coach" Craig T. Nelson). At least it looks that way. There is also a female hero named Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) and the BEST of all....Samuel L. Jackson as Frozone, the black superhero. One word for that - awesome. Check it out, I think it looks good. http://www.apple.com/trailers/disney/the_incredibles/

    Avatar? Shinobi?
  15. If he faked his death and showed up at the banquet, everyone will go nuts and cheer and then the next morning he'll be arrested. It is illegal to fake your own death, correct? That and he owes the government about 20 years worth of taxes.

    Marlins lost today and the Phillies won, leaving them top atied the NL East. The Marlins are the only team in baseball to have been in first place since opening day. They had better get their heads out of their asses if they want to keep it that way. The Marlins got shutout today, too, and it didn't dawn on me until I read it, but it was the first time all season.

    Diddy Breaks Up Da Band In Series Finale

    Mole, man, just give up. You can't bring up Outkast when he was talking about crossover hits and Da Band not having any. Who the hell do you think buys all of Outkasts CDs? I have the whitest of white friends who only listen to rock, and they all say the same shit. "I don't like rap, but I loooove Outkast." They are the ultimate crossover rap act. Little girls, white boys, and everyone else buys their record. And good for them. As for the numbers you are pulling out, you're only picking the most successful people. 500,000 for an opening record is a shitload and certainly won't get a normal act released from their label. In fact, it would get the record company to hype their second album beyond belief knowing that they have a fanbase. Not everyone sells a million their first time out.

    OAO Troy Thread

    "That guy" is Odysseus, who you just may have heard of. And it is foreshadowed. After the council of leaders where Agamemnon is going crazy and yelling that they will never breach the wall, he goes out and sees a soldier making a wooden horse for his son. He gets a glimmer in his eye and the idea for the horse is born. He is also the narrator of the story for the brief period it is narrated and went on to have a little adventure of his own.
  20. War movie between cowboys and aliens.... Sony is developing a new film called Cowboys and Aliens which will be about a war between, you guessed it, cowboys and aliens. The film will be set in the Old West and be about cowboys and Indians putting their problems aside to save the world from an alien invasion. Credit: Hollywood Reporter

    That sounds like it is incredibly in the favor of Boston. I hope for the sake of baseball that deal doesn't happen.
  22. Ok then. 1) You got me. Congratulations. I still have no idea what you're talking about. 2) There's nothing supposed about it, chief. There's 8 schools and Cornell is one of them. 3) One incorrect sentence does not mean I have a very basic knowledge of English. Everyone is always trying to put themselves over on me, yet everyone thinks I'm the one who always brings it up. This thread is gonna get locked because Tyler had to stroke his ego and take it way off course.
  23. Oh jesus... We all make mistakes, except mistakes and all, I'm gonna be rich biatch. I forgot a comma, I'm terribly sorry. And if you're referring to the word gonna, we're on a message board, dude. I'm not writing a doctoral thesis. Or were you just misunderstanding what I was trying to say, which seems like the more likely scenario.
  24. Well, I was gonna add the honk honk, but I figured no one would get it. Apparently this didn't work either. I was doing the end of Chapelle Show, when it shows his production company. I'm riiiich biatch... honk honk.
