I will not remove Näslund or Muller. I did add Cammalleri tho. That's as far as I'm willing to compromise.

Yes.

The soccer thread is broken? You're right tho, it's disgraceful.

We've changed Internet/digital TV/phone provider where I live and as part of the deal I got to pick 8 digital TV channels. I chose TCM as one of them. So far I've recorded A Day At the Circus (Marx Brothers) and Casablanca - I haven't seen either in ages.

Awesome! Kids are great. I don't have any of my own but I have an adorable nephew (who's six) and I work as a teacher, so... I'm totally sold on kids.

Harmonica: The reward for this man is 5000 dollars, is that right? Cheyenne: Judas was content for 4970 dollars less. Harmonica: There were no dollars in them days. Cheyenne: But sons of bitches... yeah.

Neil Young - After The Gold Rush Well, I dreamed I saw the knights In armor coming, Saying something about a queen. There were peasants singing and Drummers drumming And the archer split the tree. There was a fanfare blowing To the sun That was floating on the breeze. Look at Mother Nature on the run In the nineteen seventies. Look at Mother Nature on the run In the nineteen seventies. I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high. I was thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie. Thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie. Well, I dreamed I saw the silver Space ships flying In the yellow haze of the sun, There were children crying And colors flying All around the chosen ones. All in a dream, all in a dream The loading had begun. They were flying Mother Nature's Silver seed to a new home in the sun. Flying Mother Nature's Silver seed to a new home.

Notice how he looks up the last number of meters. He probably could have run faster if he hadn't let up the last stretch before the finish line.

1991 Stanley Cup Finals.

I saw The Rocket last night, and all I can say is WOW! What a wonderful movie. :hlogo:

I watched The Happening. Kinda liked it. But then I like M. Knight Shamalamaramaladingdong's movies, so I guess I'm biased.

Jesus Tapdancing Christ, some people are batsh!t loco!

For some reason this debate reminds me of the writer's workshop Nick Cage goes to in Adaptation..

The Fly (with Jeff Goldblum) was Teh Gross!

Check out "Under The Bridge".

Totally awesome! :lol:

I haven't watched Juno yet but I recorded it on my DVR recently from a Swedish channel, it's sitting there waiting on the harddrive.

LOL I saw Eddie Murphy's Boomerang at the cinema and it was me, a guy and a couple in the theatre, a grand total of four people. The couple left about halfway through. I only sat through the whole movie cause I had a big a$$ bag of candy. ADD: Oh and I'd like to point out that I didn't buy the ticket myself. They were handing them out for free at my dad's record store.

What I think was good about Saving Private Ryan was that it really showed, in a very visual way that you couldn't escape, what kind of Hell war is (or must be, I wouldn't know since I've never been in one myself). Very good point about WWII, I totally agree. As a matter of fact, about a year ago I think, I recorded Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of our fathers, but I still haven't watched them. However yesterday I finally burned them to DVD discs so I could clear up space on the harddrive of my DVR. From what I understand these movies are very hyped. What I hope to see when I finally watch them some day is a different viewpoint, a new take on WWII if you get what I mean. Which is something that makes Enemy at the gates interesting - here we have a bunch of Russians who are fighting the same enemies as the Allies did, i.e. the Nazis. I also burned Das Boot for that same reason. Don't get me wrong, America did us Europeans a heckuva favour in WWII and during the post-war year, no doubt about that, but... well I suppose many of us have a sort of love/hate relationship with the US. I don't know if it qualifies as a war movie, but if you should happen to be interested in seeing a movie that offers a different point of view then I can heartily the Italian 1960's movie La battaglia di Algeri, which is a movie about a couple of the people in the resistence in Algeria during the French invasion. I love The Great Escape and Bridge on the River Kwai. Oh and Dr. Strangelove is just in a league of its own.

I don't love them, I don't hate them. I definitely like movies like Apocalypse Now and Platoon better than Black Hawk Down or We Were Soldiers. I'm not an American so the patriotism is lost on me. Also I'm not a fan of war so trying to glorify war and soldiers doesn't appeal to me.

OK, I thought about creating a whole new thread for this but I figured taht would be overkill, so I'm posting this in here instead. I seem to recall there used to be a "HabsWorld on Facebook" thread but I can't find it, so I'm gonna have to ask here instead. The other day someone added me on Facebook, someone who was born in 1958 and who lives somewhere in PA and who's a fan of John Coltrane (yay!) and, as far as I can tell, the Phillies (meh). I don't want to post the person's name. I don't know who that person is, and if that person posts here, would you be kind enough to let me know that you are you, if you get what I mean. Someone on a different message board where I (regretfully) post occasionally has decided to start bringing me into the biggest meltdown since Chernobyl, that person created an account with my real name on that board and started posting racist sh*t and stuff. So I'm trying to straighten out all the question marks. You can PM me, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

I got a note on e-mail today saying that the movie I ordered the other day is due to be delivered most likely tomorrow. So this time tomorrow I may be watching The Rocket. I'm excited. :hlogo:
