At least involves football and kicking ***, as opposed to a lot of the other crap out there, sure it's not Tron, but what is these days?

how many of them have actually been to Africa?

[12]

Probably about the same amount of us have been to Caucasia.

[Okla-homey]

I'm the first Okie-American to have ever retired from flying jets in the USAF, then, for grins and giggles, became an Okie lawyer. Do I get a movie?;)

The Tron sequel they're making right now, TR2N?

No, in fact if Brack wins he's probably gonna kick your arse out of the country. :P

I knew I should have used the Last Starfighter as my example.

It would be true to form. Lenin, Mao, Kim, Castro, Pol Pot, all your bigtime socialists, rounded up all the pre-revolutionary lawyers and had them shot.

Yeah, but Dave Shappelle gets the lead role.

We can have one of them play your wife.

[Vaevictis]

And we can have Eddie Murphy play every other person in your family, too.

Hah. He can be the ... hell, I don't know how the Citadel runs things, but I'm sure you guys had some upper-classman or someone who whipped you into shape as freshmen, right?

[Vaevictis]

And maybe we can get Spike Lee to direct.

Dood,
If you only knew. When I graduated in 1982, I had a 28" waist and 42" chest, could run a mile and a half in under 9:30, and could do 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups in under two minutes for each exercise. I was a stud.

Did you ever run across a guy named Rutherford? Blond haired dude?

I went to Kemper Military School and he received a scholarship there. Of course, he couldn't get in to West point, so he went to the Citadel.

:D


That checkerboard, Bull Ring is sweet though!

The only guy I knew from out our way was a guy named Putnam who graduated from the old OMA in Claremore.

That's an average morning for the average paratrooper - except that it was 4 miles under 30 minutes.

I sure as hell don't have the 28" waist anymore, but I can do the push ups and the mile and a half today. The sit ups? Prolly not.

How many more movies about, "The first African American to ____" will we have to endure in our lifetimes?

:pop:

as long as hollywood can turn a buck with a one trick pony, there will always be a movie about the first african american to do ____.

[picasso]

Spike Lee lost me after Summer of Sam. Especially when one of his characters says "mother**** the Mick." dude obviously has an agenda.

Bush and Cheney knew about ENRON? No **** Spike, so did all the Democrats on the hill. dooshrocket.

[sooneron]

Dude, Inside Man was teh win.

And Hollywood should take note and NOT say anything that picasso may disagree with.

[Czar Soonerov]

BOO
The John Blake Story

heh. pardon me for having an opinion. :)

[sooneron]

heh. pardon me for having an opinion. :)

It's not the opinion, it's the writing off a particular director b/c a film of theirs had a sentence which you didn't like.

It's not like EVERY character in EVERY movie is voicing the director's or writer's opinion on a person or an event, some people are there to be agitators. We have soonerus and LAS for instance.
If you want to say it's a crappy movie, then fine. It was on last night and I watched a lot of it, again.

I would say most likely, at least one more, after the late evening on November 4, 2008.

no no, there's more to it than that. I was just throwing out some lines. Summer of Sam sucked all the way through, I felt ripped off after wasting an evening (and date) on it. I've just noticed Spike likes to throw in little agenda driven jabs with his characters, it's got to go beyond the writers or else there wouldn't be a pattern. I think it's weak.

btw I love Hollywood, spent $30 on 'em on Saturday.

BOO

That's what I say...

BOO!
