I love all the Cornetto Trilogy.

Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuxx and The World's End. I also loved Paul.

Rated NC-17 version?

I still need to see World's End. I was really disappointed I missed it in theaters.

It's really not a specific thing he found out. The point of it is that Indiana Jones, who chalked it all up to superstition, recognized powers beyond their comprehension in the Ark. In the moment, he respected powers the Nazis sought to abuse. Or something like that. It makes sense to me, anyways.

It's like in The Last Crusade, the Leap of Faith...he had to believe, or at least respect, that he'd be safe to make it to the chamber.

No, fat fingers.

I really liked it. It's a riot. Well written and couple nice twists in the plot.

I thought it was interesting that the Pentrolls showed up after a fun win.

I don't remember them much when the Flyers were 1-7 to start the season.

you guys had a thrilling finish. not exactly the way youd want to have to win every game im sure, but still. a hockey season is a long grind. you pick up two points (especially in division) any way you can on any given night. im a big believer in 2 points is 2 points, whether you get them now or in march.

Exactly! I guess it's just not the kind of movie I make these nitpicks about. It's not about painstaking details, it's an action movie about adventure and intrigue of the historical and religious variety. Also, shooting nazis, and sometimes Egyptian ninja people.

His theory also ignores that the Nazi's used Indy to locate Marion, who had the head piece. Recall the Nazi on the plane with Indy? So no, without Indy, the Nazi's don't find the headpiece, don't get the ark and Belloque gets killed by a hit squad instead of the wrath of Jehovah.

And yes, the BBT is about as funny as finding out you have flying ball rot.

I guess to each their own. For someone that has associated with intellegnet, nerdy and dorky people his entire life, I find the shows content very amusing. I have played WoW. I have played D&D. I have played MTG. I have watched Star Trek, and follow the comic world. So to me, its all familiar.

True ... I'll take 2 pts anytime. Rather we play a full 60 min but was still a pretty impressive comeback.

Any news on Neal ?

Is he still a douche who likes cylinders ?

All I know is that it's a fun movie, and my wife wants to bang 1980 Harrison Ford.

I guess that's really the key phrase here. I'm not trying to say anybody is stupid or that everybody must feel exactly the way I do about this crap. So, y'know, yeah.

That's really the gist of it. And everybody wants to bang 1980 Harrison Ford. Even Harrison Ford.

It's a caricature of those sort of folks...and I have long known, associated and been friends with people like that.

I just find it to be forced and not especially funny. I watched 4 or 5 episodes with a friend who loves it, and I laughed, maybe twice.

I'm an engineer and think that Norse Mythology is real, and love Skyrim. I love the Hyborain books (at least the REH ones) and want to live in some icy wilderness in Norway or Iceland. So I'm fairly nerdy.

That said, I just don't find the humor funny, content aside. Just my personal feelings on it. And the constant laugh track every 2 words drives me insane.

it appears lately he is doing his best to become the penguins verson of rinaldo. i cannot say i approve in the slightest. although hey if rinaldo could pop in 40 goals while still being a goon there would likely be a statute of him on every street corner in this town

I do nitpick some movies...like The Hunt for Red October drove me nuts because of the lack of realistic conversation between the guys on the USS Dallas ( "Seaman" Jones was a 2nd class petty officer and would have been called ST2 Jones or Petty officer Jones...and the COB, or chief Of The Boat, is the most experienced enlisted man onboard the sub...he sure as Hell doesn't need to have a "Crazy Ivan" explained to him.

Disney did buy both franchises, but Lucas still did the story boarding for the last 3 films.

And I do not think TPM was as bad as everyone thinks. The movie was more about setting up the politics, answering questions, and developing a story for the other 2 movies. It was bound to have a let-down after people waiting 20 years for another SW movie. Least entertaining of the 6...yes. But the movie wasn't THAT bad.

Yes it is a caricature, I wouldnt want to watch a documentary of them. To me, its funny as hell. And I guess I'm not the only one because it sure has had a nice long run for a sitcom.

But then again, some people think thier opinion is fact. If it doesnt meet thier taste, it must be crap.

Well,I don't think my friend's taste is crap, i just don;t find the show funny. If you enjoy it and want to watch it, knock yourself out.

I'm simply expressing my opinion that it's not a particularly entertaining show.
