It's good to be over 500 and it was a nice way to win a hockey game and what a show by giroux in the third. I'm still skeptical because they didn't play a full 60 last night. I'll take a W anyway possible but they still have things to prove to me before I start believing they are a playoff team. Great win and fun to watch in the third though.

one of the things i love about this group is that a picture of a much younger, yet still bald pierre mcguire turns into debating the reality, plot and hypotheticals of Indiana Jones.

What do you expect? Debating/discussing the most exciting comeback of the season for 20 pages?
I missed the game btw... Took the kids to story book land

See, I know this team isn't much more than a 500 club. I wallow in it everyday.

But this win, I'm going to enjoy a bit. At least until the next game.

It's definitely not a funny show.

nothing on network tv is funny. it's all forced, derivative, and hackneyed. i couldn't even tell you the name of a single show, i just know they're not good.

Sleepy Hollow. Only show I keep up with. Not "funny" though, although it has its moments.

No one's debating the reality of Indiana Jones. The first and third movies are based on real-life events, while the second is based on some loose-at-best-evidence. The fourth movie was actually filmed as a documentary.
- jmatchett383


The fourth Indiana Jones movie didn't really happen.

Seriously. That was an art film, right?

No, it was totally a documentary. They had to cut out some of the hot jungle love to make it suitable for theatrical release.

I can't forgive the refrigerator scene.

Or, casting Shia LeBeouf.

Yea I have to admit I definitely come here for as much of the social aspect as I do the hockey aspect.

Except for Episode 1 of Star Wars

That 4th Indy movie was the closest I have ever been to witnessing a live abortion.

The only acceptable answer for enjoying that show is that Kaley "whatever her name is" is an attractive woman and nice to look at. I get that.

Otherwise, the humor on that show is based on just the dumbest, most predictable stereotypes imaginable.

Those old refrigerators were TOUGH! And Shia is ok... He doesn't bother me as he does some people. I thought the sword fighting thing was annoying as hell

My son is 7 YO and when Phantom Menace came out in 3D, he made me go see it.

I just sat in the theater and thought of a billion ways that movie could have been better.

yeah, first step would have been to eliminate it altogether and flesh out the next 2 in to three movies.

I thought the second was okay. That's about the best thing I can say about those 3.

The bold is what got me interested and hooked.

The Sheldon character is a riot.

Edit: And based on this, I'm not sure you're qualified to judge the quality of anything.
