Not only did he snap it off at the end, but his entire hand did this upward twist to where his palm was facing up when he released. It was painful to watch him move his arm that way just describing the motion. My Son is too young to do anything unnatural with his balls. WAIT, that didn't sound right!!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 10:45 AM) yep, THAT'S him, the search is over......and he's English. He was considered, but his Oscar nomination for "Closer" has priced him out. They are looking to go the cheap route = relative unknown On a perosnal note my choices were: 1.Clive Owen 2.Hugh Jackman 3.Eric Bana But Julian and Daniel are the official final two from Sony.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 09:30 AM) I'm surprised nobody saw Road To Perdition here, especially with a thread going on right now about favorite local films. But that Daniel Craig guy would be downright nasty as Bond. I am also a bit surprised at the lack of love for Dalton. IMO he was the second best Bond so far, second to Connery. But I also don't rate Brosnan that high. I would take him over Moore, but Moore still gets viewed for out of nostalgia. But that last Brosnan film was easily one of the worst Bond films ever. Terrible stuff, absolutley terrible. The two Daltons are two of the best Bonds though, IMO. I am not familiar with the first guy mentioned though. TV series guy, never watch TV shows. So by default I go with Daniel, but I can't see him as Bond really. I liked Dalton a lot, also. License to Kill is easily one the BEST Bond films of all time. Living Daylights was OK, but that was a generic script with no character because they didn't know who would be playing Bond at the time they wrote it. As I said before, Dalton came the closest to protraying the Bond depicted in the original novels.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 08:21 AM) Bad news: They haven't even begun the production of the third film yet. At least, this was true of the last update I received. I Phoenix. I can't wait. I'm getting stir-crazy. They finally hired a director. Matthew Vaughn, director of the very good film "Layer Cake" Ironically, he was a finalist to direct the next Bond film. But he truned it down, obviously he knew he being offered X3.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 12:02 AM) What about Hugh Jackman, I was hearing rumors of him earlier. He was rumored, but his price is too high. Plus he has X-Men 3 and the Wolverine movies in the pipe

QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 12:04 AM) Though, neither actor has enough star power to draw fans into the theater for a dying franchise like the Bond movies, IMO. True, niether is a A-list star, but if you recall neither was Pierce Bronsan when he took over the role in 1995. He was most famous for Remington Steele from the mid-80s ansd his jobs before "Goldeneye" were mostly bad TV movies and "Lawnmower Man"

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Mar 14, 2005 -> 11:43 PM) I don't know either one, but anyone who reminds you of Dalton doesn't sound very good. What I exactly meant was that his Bond would be darker, like Dalton's Bond. I wasn't comparing the actors. But I am going to choose Julian. He's got that suave thing down, but he's got the eyes of a killer too. That's Bond.

According to published reports, it all up to Amy Pascal. She is the co-head of Sony Pictures and she is going to choose between two men to wear the famous tux and drink the martini in "Casino Royale" in 2006. Julian McMahon - star of Nip/Tuck and the upcoming Fantastic 4 movie Daniel Craig - co-star in Tomb Raider and Road to Perdition Let's see what you think. Me? Julian will continue the type of Bond we had with Bronson, it seems. They are similar in style and humor. Distinguished, dark-side and charming. Daniel will be a bad-ass Bond, akin to Timothy Dalton. Very much like Ian Fleming created. I don't know, right now.

This could be very interesting, developing story. Apparently he dropped out for "Personal, family reasons" But members of his family, including his Mom, have no idea what he is talking about. According to the article, the other finalists has picked him as the odds-on favorite. I love Weird happenings on Reality TV. American Idol "favorite" drops out mysteriously

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) There is a huge difference between spanking and abusing your child. To each their own though on how you punish or don't for that matter. I don't see a difference.

Neither I or my wife will EVER spank, slap or touch our son in any harmful way. I don't care how "out-of-control" you think a child is getting there are plenty of alternatives than hitting a child. Trust me, my son has gotten OUT OF CONTROL. And if anyone else spanks my child, well... Thats when hitting does come into play

QUOTE(mreye @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 10:49 AM) Very nice! Thanks!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 8, 2005 -> 11:14 AM) http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/03/08/...n.ap/index.html But if you put that into context with the political climate at the time, it's like saying JFK might have died from banging his head on the dashboard in Dallas. Many factions wanted Tut dead, particulary his grandmother and the High priests who were upset at his refusal to return to the polytheistic society his father abandoned when he was Pharoah. His rumored Grandfather, High Priest Aye became pharoah after, and then it passes to a General who had no children. That started the Rameses dynasty. Then came Moses...

I suck at photoshop, so I'm sure someone here can do a better job than me... But I couldn't resist trying!

QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 09:38 PM) Vaughn is one of the worst actors that keeps getting jobs. How does he keep getting them? This is what some more critics said. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/be_cool/ I love Roger Ebert's quote: You may agree with him or not, but his one DAMN good writer. Especially when he hates movies. As for the film, I haven't seen it yet. I read the books many times and loved it. But from what I understand it is loosely based on the novel "Be Cool", which is a shame. Elmore Leonard is a God and thats what made "Get Shorty" work, it's faithfullness to the original source. But it's a different creative team behind this flick, so...

I'll be going to the Saturday Game Box 218 Row 1 Hope to see some of you there!

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) tradin Carlos got us SPod, Luis, El Duque, AJ."" we could have gotten more for Lee. We didn't get Duque and AJ for him. We could have traded Lee for a better player like Castillo and still have made some signings. How come I'm foolish for believing it was a bad deal now, but you aren't for thinking it was a good deal already? Probably has something to do with the only opinions welcome around this site anymore are those made by the kool-aid drinkers. We did free up money from the Lee trade that allowed us to sign El Duque and AJ, thus they are a byproduct of the trade. I never said it was a good trade and you are wrong. I said you are acting like it's a complete failure before ONE game has been played. You may be right and it is ok to be weary of a deal, but to claim a deal is completely 100% failure before one ball and been thrown is drinking the negative kool-aid. You may turn out to be right, but I was suggesting reserving judgment until we see how it turns out.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 28, 2005 -> 04:45 PM) I think you can pick strep back up pretty quick, but after just getting the flu its supposed to be tough to picking it back up. Wait...reread that and no I dont' think you do. They are seperate viruses, like steff said. They are separate virus so be careful. If you get Strep follow my advice: Specifically look for and red rashes. There is a strain of Scarlett Fever going around. my son had it and it sucks...I mean sucks. Without treatment it can cause Liver or Kidney Failure. See a doctor right away...it's easily treated.
