Good stuff tonight.  Thoughts and prayers for all our guys and gals in harm's way.

Not suprised about the swimsuit thing.  I've always had the suspicion that anybody who thinks women are all sweetness 'n' light has never heard two females talking about a third woman who isn't in the room.

Have I sworn yet?  No?

Well, my wife loved Kevin Costner and she really liked "For the Love of the Game".  But I thought it was really a sucky chick flick. "Tin Cup" was sorta funny, but it was about golf, and I hate golf. 

So yeah, "Field of Dreams" was probably the last movie Costner made that didn't suck.

Field of Dreams = my cleavage?

Does that toe the line enough?

For a second there I thought that was 'mangum.'  I had visions of an ice cream that gives you mouth herpes and stabs you.

Additionally: Shit.

Chariots of Fire was the most boring sports movie ever made.  The music put me to sleep and the slow motion running is un-fucking-bearable.

I liked the first 20 minutes a lot. It did a great job of capturing post WW 1 england, especially with the horribly wounded vets and their prospects upon returning from war.

As for the rest of the film, meh

Also, is anyone else watching The Killing? I think it is on AMC, but I bittorrent it, so I forget. Anyway, I thought it was just ok at first, but I am on episode 10 and it has grown on me.

God, everyone likes that show and I keep waiting for it to "grow on me" and it never does. I just want them to solve the stupid crime already. There's way too much "atmosphere" and it's slow and I don't care about a single one of the characters. And I find the female detective repulsive. She looks like a twelve year old and her actions are just stoo-pid.

Sorry, couldn't hold back.

The first time I had one was in Germany, and I had a bitch of a time explaining to Deutschfreund why it was so damn funny. Hee hee.

Golf clap.  You must have a very fulfilling life. You and Rum. 

are there any good Korean War films out there?

The only two Korean War films I know of are Pork Chop Hill and MacArthur.  Both are rated pretty good. 

I've never seen the M.A.S.H movie either.  But then again, M.A.S.H was an allegory about the Vietnam War using the Korean War as the setting. 

The best Korean War film I've seen was a Korean one called Tae Guk Gi.

I forgot about Pork Chop Hill and I've never seen MacArthur.

Parts of it were really funny, but it was pretty over-rated. Altman makes fun of the military, and it was made in 1968 or 69, so it was really about Viet Nam. It's pretty dated now - and it shows.  The football game at the end was the funniest part.

Other Korean war flicks:

"The Bridges at Toko-Ri", starring Bill Holden and Frederic March (based on the James Michener novel). Pretty faithful to the novel.

"The Manchurian Candidate" was sorta connected to the Korean War.  The original movie, the good one, with Frank Sinatra.

My favorite Costner movie is "The Postman".  Jackwagons.

Anyone else see that the New York Daily News named Patton as 1 of the 15 worst war movies ever made?

Really?? The opening speech made up for all of the ridiculous errors when it came to the equipment used, specifically tanks.

Two best Costner films IMHI..

A Perfect World

The Upside of Anger

But yeah Field of Dreams was great...

Two years. And so much has happened. Sigh. I remember how young and naive I was two years ago on that ONT. The things I didn't know yet. You can never get your innocence back.

My favorite Costner movie is "The Postman".  Jackwagons.

My husband's university did a cost analysis on "distance education" (same thing) and it is much more expensive, at least initially.  They definitely need it because they have a lot of non-traditional students, but it is a costly enterprise to get it up and running. 

Well, this place does not seem to have a very large distance education component to it.  They do a lot of non-traditional teaching stuff (offsite locations, etc.) but not so much pure on-line classes.  Which is really good, actually.  So I'm mostly evaluating it for use on campus as a companion to a traditional course.  But I still have to try out all the features of it.

Mostly 50s today.  Not much sun for the past few weeks.  Two days 'til June and we had fresh snow just a bit above our house today.  At least it's cool for the packing and moving. 

that is good - the only thing worse than moving, is moving in really bad weather

Not really.

But that was a different time, and judged by different standards.  If all you know about Truman is what you read about in the "history" books, then that's a normal judgement.

80 percent of women said they think other women are scrutinizing them when they put on that two-piece

ha, i was at the bay snorkeling yesterday and the wife was in a bikini, all the young chicks were giving her the evil eye, hence women are evil hateful bitches

My favorite Costner movie is "The Postman".  Jackwagons.

I think what threw people is that it was described as sci-fi but there wasn't space involved.. rather being a post apocalyptic movie.. 

I saw that at my friends house when he was throwing a party..  I eventually went to another room to finish watching it..  Thought it was worth watching..

We call it 'should have swallowed' origin 'round here because we are too fucking lazy to spell it out

You could never go to WallyWorld with my dad and not hear that phrase at least 20 fucking times.

'Yep, another fucking brainless twit of should've swallowed origin'

That, and 'poster child for retroactive abortions' were my dad's two favorite expressions.

Along with - 'As long as I have a face, no good looking woman will ever be without a seat.'

Stanley Ann should have exercised her "right to choose[sic]".

now now I don't agree with that - I just wish Stanley Ann would have stopped after the 49th bong hit

F'in commies!

Jeez, they also have A Bridge Too Far,  Hamburger Hill, Heatbreak Ridge, To Hell and Back, Memphis Belle were all in the worst category

Kelly's Heroes got in the best category?

I notice that almost all of the anti-war Vietnam War Films were in the best category.

80 percent of women said they think other women are scrutinizing them when they put on that two-piece, and 89 percent said other girls were their harshest critics on the beach or at the pool.

Like I'd give a $hit!

No Way Out is still the bestest Cosner film

Yeah, that was a great movie.  Pretty much his breakout role.

I didn't really know how to respond in a way that wouldn't get my food spat in, but "Happy" is really not the right adjective.

not meaning to be argumentative - but that is probably what I would have said too.  What would you have said?

Anyone else see that the New York Daily News named Patton as 1 of the 15 worst war movies ever made?

Okay.  I made it halfway through that list.  Deep breaths...

Why the fuck does everyone consider Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now to be the be-all and end-all of war movies?  Every Marine has seen the first half of FMJ a thousand times, and the second half about twice.  It's two movies, casually joined in the middle.  Apocalypse Now has one, repeat, ONE, good scene-- yeah, that one.

The Hurt Locker is inaccurate dog shit.  There, I said it.  I did two tours in that fucking country and I wanted to murder everyone associated with making that fucking stinkbomb.  It's the favorite Iraq war movie of a bunch of people who don't know shit about the Iraq war.

Platoon?  Are you kidding?  "We did not fight the enemy, we fought ourselves"?  And the angry dudes with the pith helmets and the AK's?  Part of the scenery, I guess?

I know, I'd rate the entertainment quotient currently at about 30%. Are we spent after shooting our load on the weiner threads?

Also, congratulations to the 2011 Big Ten Football Champion Cornhuskers!

well I wish I were as optimistic as you - but I just read an article today about Nebraska's QB issues.  it turns out, Nebraska has two - yes, exactly two - quarterbacks, and one is a red-shirt freshman.  and the O-line has been an issue for the Huskers for the past several seasons.  so unless there's a remarkable turnaround with the O-line, or unless T-Mart the running QB goes remarkably unscathed for the entire season....

Seeing Full Metal Jacket on that list now makes me want to watch the mashup video with Donald Duck as the drill sargeant. That's some crazy-ass shit.

That's why I told my wife that the casting director had it ass-backwards: they should have cast the homicide detective as the grieving mother and Michelle Forbes as the bad-ass homicide detective. It would have made a better series.

Maybe, but she's a little "wrung out victim". Though I suppose if she were in the detective role she wouldn't be that way, hence the term "acting" huh?

Big 10.  It should be renamed the Large 12.  Can't those people count? 

I think that Nebraska will have a couple of tough years adapting to the "Big Ten".  The conference tends to play more defense than the Big 12 has in recent years.  Not as exciting as the offensive shows in the Big 12, but it will be different.

Just popped into my head.

Gran Turino was tangentially related to the Korean War and was an awesome movie.

Fucking. Beatles.

Oh no, here we go again. Might as well add longbow vs. crossbow and pollack vs. cod and ONT vs. OOT.

If I was escorting total strangers to a table at a restaurant at the mall?  Probably nothing more specific than "How are you today?", unless they were wearing something that indicated they were or have family in the military.

I might say "Have a good Memorial Day", is that too grating?

According to Irish stand comic, Dara Ó Briain. But of course only being able to see later parts of the game after meeting challenges is part of the appeal of video games too.

So I sat through this.  Basically this "comedian" is bitching and moaning about actually having to play the games?  'You mean I actually have to accomplish certain tasks to get to cooler things?  Why that's bullshit! Why can't it just be like a movie or a book where it automatically happens."  He's not even complaining about going through levels and collecting all of secret items to unlock a hidden level that isn't necessary to beating the game.  He's complaining about like beating a boss early in a game, or having to play a crap song on Rockband.

Now I know why I don't watch the news.

They just had a "guest commentary" from some ignorant woman whining about what an injustice it was that Missouri just made it illegal to get an abortion after 21 weeks (more than 5 months). She also talked about how she herself believes life begins at conception and is a gift from God, but abortion should be completely legal up to 9 months. WTF?

Wrong movie, although that's a really good guess.  There's an episode of Tales from the Crypt where Tim Curry plays 3 characters - 2 of them female, *shivers*. 

He's a fairly good actor. I liked him in IT, Clue and Hunt for Red October

I'm doing okay, it's summer, so I'm slacking & drinking beer instead of doing my work, which is piling up

Sorry you got a B in organic but that is actually pretty damn good - you are prob. in the top 2% of humanity for doing so well in that class

Tim Curry was the submarine's doctor.  The political officer was the dude Sean Connery killed at the beginning of the film. 

oh dear I didn't realize there were so many Rocky Horror fans here at the ONT

What happens in Vegas stays is Vegas...

Well I just got back from Vegas about 5 hours ago.  Took a helicopter flight to the Grand Canyon with my son, my fiancee and her 3 kids and got married at the base of the Grand Canyon.

So anyway, I was walking the strip with the new family last night and my son, all 11 years old of him, says... and this is a direct quote:

"Dad, I just saw a bus go by that had a phone number on it that said We Deliver Hot Girls Directly to Your Room.  I can't believe there exists businesses that deliver whores."

So when should he be expecting his Junior Moron membership card?

so the racist assholes are protesting the Westboro assholes?

thank heavens I don't have to choose a side

To channel Henry Kissinger - may both sides lose.

have you ever saw that show on DSC about the big ship that now catches the fish and cleans and packs all the fish for McD's sammiches?

YES.

I think they are Alaskan polluck or something like that.

It was very interesting, that ship is like an floating industrial factory.

Congratulations on your nuptials, Andrews' Dad

"Dad, I just saw a bus go by that had a phone number on it that said We Deliver Hot Girls Directly to Your Room.  I can't believe there exists businesses that deliver whores."

I know John Conyers is a fucking idiot, but I've never read anything about him that highlights his mental deficiencies better than something from his own pitiful website:

"Under the Act, jobs would be created in the fields of construction, infrastructure repairs, green jobs, education, health care, and neighborhood renovation. The ActÂ’s Full Employment Trust Fund would provide federal funding for local community-based job creation and training initiatives until full employment is reached in the United States. The Act is deficit neutral and fully funded through a modest tax on Wall Street stock and bond transactions."

The Act is deficit neutral and fully funded through a modest tax on Wall Street stock and bond transactions."

yeah that is the big thing for lefties now - they want to tax every WS transaction at a rate of like 0.0000001% but since there are 10 zillion transactions per day, it will yield a boatload of money.  it's a perfect con, because the little guys would hardly pay anything at all but the big financial houses would end up paying billions.  so it fits right into the whole class warfare setup the left has going.  I gar-un-tee, this is coming the next time the libs have total control.

The defense were all up on the bluffs, so if they are gone everyone in Mississippi is dead.  Some of the houses in town might have flooded.  Wilson's Creek battle field is just outside Springfield and Pea Ridge is a few miles away in Arkansas.

Damn right. I've shown that movie to so many people and everyone loves it. It's on Netflix streaming.

A good crime movie companion piece starring Joseph Gordon Levitt is The Lookout. He plays a kid who crashes his car at prom and kills his two friends and brain damages himself to the point where five years later, all he can do for a living is mop floors at a bank.

God, I'm not doing much for Missouri tourism. It really is a beautiful state, and St. Louis is a fantastic city in its own way, even though it stood in for post-apocalyptic New York in Escape from New York.

You sure that wasn't East St Louis? That's in Illinois.

Just go to a diner and tell them to add icecream to the java. Cost about half what Starbucks does.

Yep.  I love that movie too.  In fact, it's on my DVR right now. 

I love that kid, too.  He's gorgeous in a suit.  And can act.  Hamina.

Took me 5 years to find Brick on DVD - came across it by chance on Saturday at the store.  Snapped it up quick as I could.

I'd move back in a heartbeat if all the libs left and uncongested the place and its government.  I miss Cali...

No.  Only the retards do.  Plus, that's South Sound.  I don't like anything South of Downtown Seattle.  It's yucky.

I'm beginning to think so.
