Brilliant...now that would make for an interesting story.

Part of me thinks some professional athletes are grossly overpaid. Part of me thinks if the market can support it, why the Hell not. One thing I love about professional athletics, though. There is no EEO discrimination bullshit. As I've stated before, it's the only industry in America that hires in...

I don't know that I'd call him great, but Terrence Malick (New World, Badlands, Thin Red Line and Days of Heaven) has a very distinct style all his own...his films flow instead of suspend...very good, yet without direct purpose.

I agree. Gets a little cocky, wants to be "the man". Addai had a healthy avg per run, make the Saints prove they can stop him. Hard to beat last year w/the play at the end, but certainly was a good game. Estimates are the most watched program ever in US, beating MASH finale. Wonder if Way...

With that horrible pick six yesterday, I'd say Peyton's stock dropped a bit. His post season career is really not that stellar. And that's how I, personally, judge greatness. For me, the regular season and post season are equal. Guys like Jurgensen never made the playoffs. Despite Brady's greatness...

The Graduate is simply the most evolutionary film I've ever seen released in the most revolutionary year of film since sound was introduced. In 1967, America watched the Graduate, In Cold Blood, Bonnie and Clyde, In the Heat of the Night and Look Who's Coming to Dinner. Four of the five were up for ...

I knew he would do it, and it's another team, but damn it still hurt to watch him "favre" that last throw against the Saints...giving them the SB.

Who Dat?! Peyton throws the pick-six, and the Saints win...by a larger margin than expected, too. Very good game...not as good as last year, but still up there. Too - the Colts (Peyton making the calls) in the second half nearly gave up on a run game that was succeeding...they were only down by one ...

The old AvP was a decade before it's time. This one doesn't seem to have quite the same feel, and the graphics are a letdown for me.

If true, Orlion, that must be just the kind of thing that makes people cynical about Hollywood. Fist, I enjoyed Avatar , too - really, I did! But I'm a bit surprised it got a Best Picture nod myself. In terms of big budget sci-fi epics, I thought Watchmen was better. Waaaay better, though not witho...

Hurt Locker and Up in the Air were good to very good, not great. Either would be better than the rest, though there are two I haven't seen.
