Morgan Freeman already played the ultimate "magical black man" in Bruce Almighty, when he was God. Why is he doing another role like that?

Because it pays well? :)

EDIT: I am going to write some before I head to bed... so take care to all.

I have a hard time hating movies. I mean, I hate about 90% of new summer blockbuster movies that come out just from seeing the same old setups in the commercials, but I know if I was in front of that giant screen watching it I would end up being sucked in for just a little while. Even when I can laugh a little at how hackneyed any random scene or piece of dialogue is, I'll still be captivated by the the whole show :(

TSG on Ocean's 12:

[QUOTE=TSG]Rented "Ocean's Twelve" over the weekend. The first one was good-natured, well-done eye candy and ended up being surprisingly rewatchable on cable. The second one was incoherent, unfunny, self-referential, boring, ridiculous – in fact, if I had to write a blurb for it on a movie poster, it would look like this:

'A train wreck that's almost unfathomably terrible!'
–Bill Simmons, ESPN.com[/QUOTE]

Holy cow...doesn't look good.

I haven't seen any of the movies, actually...Flight of the Phoenix looks kind of intriguing, though.

Also, I just Netflix'd Falling Down and The Killing Fields. What do y'all think of those two flicks.

YDLoad: Along those same lines, I have no problem with implausibly stupid movies like Independence Day or the Ernest movies, simply because they know they're implausibly stupid. It's when a movie aspires to be serious and is implausibly stupid that I get angry.

Does any one in here have the song Sing, Sing, Sing by Benny Goodman?

It's the old swing song that was played on the old Chip's Ahoy commercials, and I used to listen to that song as a kid...but completely forgot about it.

Also if any one has any other stuff by Benny Goodman, send it this way please, it would be most appreciated. That would also go for any big band/swing music as well...

Winter Of Apokalypse - Black Metal of Death, awesome black metal from Oregon

Windir - Arntor, Ein Krigar, just cool viking metal...

From big band to black metal...gotta love it.

Heh, that is kinda weird I guess.

But hey, I love music and I will pretty much listen to it all.

Right now I am listening to J-pop and J-rock...

j-pop is crazy.

Hell, the Japanese are crazy.

I don't mean it as a negative thing, though. They're just off-the-wall.

I will agree with that.

But they had/have samurai's and ninja's and sake, so they are cool.

They do make some off the wall music though, but it is still great music. They also make great anime's and mangas as well if you are into that kind of thing.

2:08 AM here. The idea of going to sleep has not occured to me? How is everyone?

I got nothing against Japan, believe me. Any country that sells beer in vending machines is a-okay in my book.

That would rule to have beer in vending machines...but this is America and that will never happen here, which sucks. That gives Japan another +1 to coolness...

And god da[SIZE=2]mn[/SIZE], it is still like a good 75 degrees in my room right now...


NP - Within Temptation - Running Up That Hill

'Tis a good cover.

For the first time in about a week, the sun actually came out here in Boston...this bodes well for Sunday.

It has been in the 90's for the past 3 days, which is crazy in a way. We were having normal spring like weather for Oregon, rain, mid 50's temperature, then out of no where BAM! 90 degree weather...

Totally sucks to go through a transition like that...

But it always rains on Memorial Day here, so it will probably be humid as hell.

NP - Within Temptation - In Perfect Harmony

It really has yet to be anything but cloudy 'round here.

But I have no fear, for the annual Boston Heat Wave will still hit like a haymaker to the city's glass jaw.

So. One of my friends is stranded somewhere. She doesn't know where though, so I can't give her a lift :-/

Tell her that if she dies, you want her to know that you've loved her since the first day you met her. That way when she's rescued, she comes running to you and you get some.

Either that or she thinks you're insane and calls the police. Either way, you get her attention so you win.

Like I need to do that to get her attention :)

I would. :upset:

[QUOTE=munky_magik]So. One of my friends is stranded somewhere. She doesn't know where though, so I can't give her a lift :-/[/QUOTE]

How did she manage that?

She was staying with a friend. That said friend then left to go to work in the morning and she realised that she didn't know where the hell she was. Well, she knew vaugely. Just specifics such as Street name and house number were lacking.
Common sense doesn't rank high amongst her features :)


Out of the whole situation I managed to get [i]Pinkerton[/i] and [i]Happiness in Magzines[/i], though. So despite her messing up my plans to go CD shopping in Edinburgh it kinda worked out.

sup thread. I slept with my contacts in last night but my eyes don't burn like I thought they would. I will now go eat my bagel.

NP SikTh - Wait For Something Wild

Good day pals, i've been downloading some Rachmaninov and Mozart this morning, and i wish to be buying some Grieg piano sheet music on ebay, and there's one for 99p on there at the moment, i will be getting that. :D

Rachmoninov wins. So does Bizet.
I was listening to the most dramatic music ever yesterday - Carmina Burana. You have all heard it and know I am right.


/not by Rachmoninov or Bizet, just thought I'd mention it

I'm not sure that name rings a bell...

Well, so long as they aren't annoying (which they certainly will be) it's funny.

I wish my Pro-Pain thread would burn up and become destroyed.

More like he. And I think he's only out to annoy MX himself.
