My favorite actors are Edward Norton, because you have to have big ones to take a roll like American History X. I also like Adrien Brody, from the Pianist and Summer of Sam. I've always been a sucker for Audrey Hepburn, especially in Roman Holiday. I also like Angelina Jolie in Girl Interrupted.

I just can't imagine another Bad Boys... I liked the first one so much. There just isn't a Bad Boys for me without Julie. Not that I think the second one is going to be a bad movie, but I'd rather not see it to preserve the essence of the first.

I think tupac is dead. Much of that evidence which says he's alive also says that Suge Knight arranged the hit. I read up on much of this stuff too, and I don't think a controversial rapper like Tupac can fake his death. R.I.P Tupac, Biggie, and Dave Thomas.

If I could be the President of the United States for just one day
L.A. Rod. replied to Phantom's topic in General Discussion
If I may start off topic for a moment, I live in the south by way of the east, and I'm not offended because I know there are a lot of people across the map that may sound dumb for there accent. Sure, there are a few odd balls in the south, but no worse than what's in New York or Boston... "No Tooalking durin' the Perfooamence." No matter where we are, there are those who sound, for lack of the better word, "slow", and those who just sound sexy... and that's all that matters here in the USA! Now, If I were president, I would do as follows. - I would bring back savage executions for the really bad ones. - In a display of international respect, any terrorists who plot or have commited crimes against our country or any of our allies will be sent back to their country... in a really foolish attempt to make them think we aren't too bad. However, any repeat offenders will be beaten to death with branches. - I would make illegal all reality shows. - I would build obsticle courses for protestors... not out of any disrespect, but to see exactly how many are really passionate about their cause. - I would leave taxes the way they are. - Tear four corners into the oval office, making it a square. I don't trust shapes that have no corners. - Finally, I'd interrupt public television for the most part of the day, discussing absolutely nothing, and I will do so in a nine hundred dollar blazer. If George W. Bush can do it, I can to. All of this in one day. -
I think Chicago needs a little breathing space, guys. Although I haven't seen it, I think it felt the wrath of the stiff competition in only taking home six of the Twelve, so it didn't do as great as the Gods of Hollywood would have wanted it to. Everybody thought it would clean house, but I had a feeling it wouldn't. I thought that the night was an all around good one. Steve Martin was a good host in my book. As a matter of fact, I think he should stop, please stop, doing movies, and just stick to hosting the Oscars and making surprise SNL cameos from now on. I'm really glad Adrien Brody won for best actor(it was between him and Cage, for me). I also think that Martin Scorsese shouldn't have won for Gangs of New York; nor because he didn't do a good job, but because his shelf should already be filled with oscars for the other Great movies he directed. I laughed when Polanski won and wasn't there, as he's hiding out in France never to return to America in fear of arrest for the whole "R. Kelly" thing. I think Denzel won last year because Sean Penn didn't show up. I heard the Academy sometimes does that, and that sucks.

It was a pretty long running show, too. One of the longest running... and it wasn't even one of those full house, tacky music shows that had resolutions at the end. I love Married with Children!

I don't think we have to worry about missing the last few episodes. Knowing toonami, they may very well rerun the entire Dragonball Z series.

I believe in luck. I think that everybody gets good luck sometime or another.

I think it's rediculous, the lengths that some people are going for patriotism. Don't get me wrong, because I am very supportive for the nation and proud to be an American, but it seems that some are forgetting who we are fighting in the war. I figure that if the administration wants to get France on their side, they should start putting "French" in front of a lot of other foods. P.S.- French Fries were originated in Belgium.

Think about this though: How good would Real Folk Blues Part two be without Balled being their. If the proper modifications are made, Jupitor Jazz will hardly be able to support the story told at the epic ending(although, if the proper modifications are made, Jupitor Jazz would be changed into Ballad in the long run.) Without bofa, the final two sessions would be nothing more than a couple of drops in the bucket. Don't get me wrong, I am the a big fan of the final session, but it does not leave anymore questions for one to ask as Balled does. What really has you going is drama and the story(which was greatly executed, shall I point out), a story that was already set by Balled. To make a long story short, Balled is a key episode no matter how we slice it in Cowboy Bebop. As for the symbolism in Cowboy Funk, it has no strong meaning. It should hardly be called symbolism when it is blantantly stated by Faye that they have common personalities, and it isn't hard to see. The whole "two cowboys who are a lot alike " is meant for entertainment. Real symbolism of Spike facing himself can be found in the final sessions, as he must look inside himself to see the path that has been drawn out for him since the beginning.

I am a big fan of boxing, so my favorites would have to be the first two as they have the more realistic boxing. If I had to choose between the two, I would choose the first, as it has everything that represents Rocky in it. There are some people who don't know who Sylvester is but still know Rocky. That's how popular these movies have become, and I absolutely love them!

All the people who don't go to Church....
L.A. Rod. replied to eleanor's topic in General Discussion
1. To be quite boring, I only think of a public house of worship when hearing the word Church. 2. My family does'nt go to church because there are too many hypocrits. A lot of people use the excuse of going to church to say that they are a better person than the next man, even if they don't have the faith as strong. 3. I think that church is fine the way it was(or at least the way I last saw it), as many still feel better about themselves and do serve to teach. -
I think that if he is a close friend it would be selfish... but if you don't like him that much, go right ahead. If it is just somebody I kind of liked from work or school, then I'll just try to make it to a church to seek forgiveness of pray just before death(after all, I would feel guilty). If it were close friends who gave me their consent before they died, then I would respect their wishes in trying to survive. I would give them consent to eat me quick if I were to die first and try to survive if it were someone close to me.

"Count the shells, sucka duck!" Jay from Dogma "I know Kung Fu" Neo from the Matrix "What we have here is a failure to comunicate" Some guy from Cool Hand Luke "The fall will probably kill ya!" Paul Newman from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. "Is this the elevator?" Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday "Boards.. don't hit back." Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon

I would say that the best filler episodes of the series are "Cowboy Funk", because anybody who tries to put more significance into it is simply trying to play out the whole "read between the lines theme", and Pierrot Le Fu. The worst one's would be ofcourse Toys in the Attic and Wild Horses. To say that Balled of Fallen Angels is nothing more than a filler session is too hard to understand, and I have to restate comments I already did in a previous post in this thread. As I said before, the flashbacks of the first session give questions that are touched upon in session five; but these questions still remain unanswered which help to intrigue the viewer. The action is simply a backdrop to the central idea. The Jupitor Jazz sessions seem more like filler episodes than the balled is, but this is still hard for me to say as they do touch on the woman named Julia and the antitrust between Vicious and the elders.

Not to mention that it is against the law not to help a fellow citizen who is the victom of a crime(as far as I've learned).

I kind of feel like a prick writing in this post, as I am unable to empathize, but I can say that I hope this is the hardest part of your grief and I hope you get better soon. Try to remember and learn from this.

I don't think that anybody can say that they don't have this "zone" that they visit, we all have it. I always seem to be working out when I'm in my zone. Doing sit-ups or what not. The hazy sweat is soothing to the mind, even when my mind is the only place where I can find and be satisfied by it.

ways to make your math teacher feel stupid
L.A. Rod. replied to master's topic in General Discussion
My Algebra 1 teacher was a real idiot, and I'm struggling today due to her incompetance. My friend and I made her feel stupid by asking for her college degree, and it got her real fired up, so much that she didn't want to teach at the same school the following year, but it didn't benefit me as she decided to finish out the year. -
I used to hate all eighties music, but after hearing a little bit of it, and realizing that all my mom used to play was from this era, it grew on me. Bands like Queen, and David Bowie, and all of the great one-hit wonders that came out with really good songs in this decade are some of the finest. On the other hand, some of the bands are either stupid of frightening, but we have plenty of this stupid music today!

I watched this when it aired on the 20/20 special, and I was not aware on how really disturbing Jackson is as a person. I think that we all have to admit that the reporters and the broadcast was a little brutal and may have made it seem like he is more of a sicko than he really is, but I think that there is something the matter with this guy none the less. I don't think there is anybody who can say that Michael has probably achieved more than some of the best artist have combines, and his talent is undisputed. But, there is definately something wrong. His love of children, gadgets, and games is obviously a product of Joe Jackson, his supposedly abusive pop, and in all honesty I don't believe that he does anything bad to little kids. As a matter of fact, I don't think he does anything bad at all, if ya catch my drift. If you ask me, I think that Michael should take a big chunk of money out and see the best shrink money can buy(if he doesn't already now, because if he does there is really a problem).

Luis Angel Rodriguez. All I know is that Angel means "thee who is Saintly" I don't know what Luis is, and I definately don't know what Rodriguez means... all I know is it's all over the phone book. L.A. Rod, get it? HA HA HA!

I think that it is perfectly alright for Eminem to be himself and write anything that he wants to. There is no law that says he cannot do this, rather there is a law that gives him permission. His musical talent is some of the best artistically that I have seen in some time, and I think he should continue to do what he is doing. My favorite songs of his are "Without Me" and "Lose Yourself" No, I don't think he has a real film career in his future. He's simply going to do small roles for most of his career and probably never do an "8 mile" type film again. As for him as a person, I think he's a really big loser that is not as real as he may say or express that he is. Sure, I think it is fine to shoot back at people who like to get personal, like moby or Cristina. Still, he does make fun of random people every once in a while, but when he becomes the butt of jokes, he isn't having that. For example, at the VMAs, Triumph the insult comic dog from the Conan Show came, and his job is just to make jokes about people, but Eminen shoved a hand puppet away and got his crew to block him away from the hand puppet. Doesn't have as big of balls as he says.

she looks like an old lady who doesn't like judgement, and the entire opinion of anybody else, so I guess that makes her kind of nasty. Then again, she is a bitter old lady, so that justifies it a little bit.

I think it was pretty funny when I saw it. It's just funny to see how the famouse figures in world history are made to be, you can just wait to see a new character. I like the way they did Van Gogh.
