QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 10:50 AM) I for one thought Bobby was gonna get killed for sure after that fight. Hearing Tony's rendition of Under the boardwalk was one of the funniest things that show has come up with. Im not sure what yet but you know something is gonna come of Bobby being careless and just dropping the gun after he killed that guy. I don't think so. First, outside the heat of the moment, Tony is more like his mom. He will use psychological warfare on Bobby...hence his first kill. On the subject of Bobby getting pinched because of the gun. He won't.They are taught to drop the gun because they are usually stolen and untraceable. If you recall the gun Tony dropped in the snow is only connected to him via eyewitness...not its registration. BTW...who doesn't play "free parking" rules!?!

QUOTE(Brian @ Apr 9, 2007 -> 08:23 AM) Chaos, please post those every week. Good read. He was great last season, especially during the "Tony in Limbo" episodes. I look forward to reading thsi guy every week. It solidifies what a great series it is on so many levels.

I was shocked not to find a thread for the final season on here. We had such wonderful disucssions during the past season. So here it is... EPISODE 1 of 9 "Soprano's Home Movies" HEY! A loose end getting revisited. In a move that is a bit out-of-character for "The Sopranos", we flashed back to 2004 when Johnny Sack got pinched by the FBI. We finally got to see what Tony did when he fled from the Feds. He threw his gun away and some kid found it... Three years later this kid gets picked up by the local police and fingers Tony as the owner of the gun. David Chase again loves to show us that Tony's past will always haunt him. No matter what he thinks is over. This is brought into chillingly clear focus during a funny, but disturbing game of Monopoly with Janice, Bobby and Carm at the lake house. Bobby's punishment for hitting Tony? He finally has to make his "bones" and feel the guilt of killing a man. For a somewhat kind soul like Bobby, this is real torture. My fave symbolic moment? Janice's birthday gift to Tony. A DVD of the family home movies. This tells me how this final season will go. Tony is going to be forced to finally confront all his family issues. They are going to be presented to him bluntly and with clarity...he won't be able to just recall them like a scratchy, fuzzy home movie...but like a clear, vibrant DVD. A brilliant epsiode full of what we love about this show. Acting, writing, and killing. Wheee!!!! (on a personal note it's good to back after a brief hiatus)

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Mar 3, 2007 -> 01:28 AM) Hollywood has RUINED THE ART. Most American cinema is complete s*** compared to some of the film that is going on in the rest of the world. The Hollywood actor, the Hollywood production company have ruined American film. Film is the great art form of the 20th century. It combines the drama of theatre, the visuals of a painting and the words of books. The problem is that is a highly successful art form and thus it can be compromised. I find there are equal parts of art/complete sh** all over the world. India's Bollywood film system is a fine example. It churns out great films and crap faster than the USA. Most of the great foreign films we see here are on par with our independant film system. Europe makes commerical films, too. They just don't make as many as we do and thus our ratio is higher of crap. To comment on your last quote...I completly disagree. The Hollywood production company is saving the American film. Almost all the studios have an independant arm that give greater exposure to smaller films that ever before. The blockbuster allow studios to take greater chances on smaller budgeted, risker films.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 1, 2007 -> 09:51 AM) Oddly enough, Steven King is a huge fan of the show, and vice versa with the writers... Anyways, it was a nice episode, but we really didn't get a whole lot out of it. The plot really didn't advance, there wasn't any new questions posed... The episode just kinda happened. I was glad to see some of the old characters show up, but other than that, meh. Sometimes you need episodes like this. Stand alone, comedic relief...etc. It's not all serious , myterious groups, and death looming. I thought it was a strong episode. And Sawyer was on a Nickname roll!!!!

Aint nobody running and me and Hangar. We got cannons!!! (though the Tribune would tell you different)

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Feb 24, 2007 -> 01:30 PM) I'm pissed. For some reason, my DVR did not record The Office this week or Wednesday night's American Idol. It has recorded everything else this week, so I have no clue what happened. So I missed this episode. I assume that it is not available online anywhere? Its here: http://www.fanpop.com/

During a White Sox game my bubby and I were on camera A LOT and then we were featured on Sportscenter and local TV because of our antics towards Jamie Navarro during a game in 1998. We were even commented on by Hawk and Wimpy...who laughed and said "That ain't right..." Here's an article about what we did: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_...21/ai_n10416292

All joking aside...Personally I think there are actually serious issues here. I believe this is more than a "spoiled rich girl with a drug problem" She could be suffering from an extreme case of Post Partum depression. Many women, stronger and more stable than her have succumbed to it. It's not a pretty sight and a serious illness. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postpartum_depression

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Feb 20, 2007 -> 12:27 PM) Two interesting notes mentioned in the story are that the room is on the 14th floor, which in reality is the 13th floor. Also, add up the numbers 1408. 22?

May is sick!! Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, and Pirates 3! You have three of the highest grossing movie franchises opening within weeks of each other Other than that Me, Mrs Ribbie and The Boy are ready to camp out now for the Simpson's Movie!!! And for those who say The Simpsons isn't funny anymore...we say:

Great episode! Creed is the man!!! Now I see why Joss Whedon directed this episode...vampires and such.

I once shot a man in his sleep just for snoring.

Ohhhh I thought he was switching from UPS to FedEx.

Bobby Jenks..after he finishes his career with over 400 saves.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 16, 2007 -> 10:12 AM) Which is basically saying the same thing. Yes, he SHOULD have done that, but he didn't. The opposite side of the spectrum is Alex Rodriguez. He measures every answer and the people and the press come pretty close to crucifying him for it. He's too worried about his image. He's not interesting because he doesn't say anything inflammatory. Hardaway is an ignorant bigot. BUT, he was asked a question and he answered it honestly. Now, he has to live with the consequences of that. I can't fault him for saying what he felt, but I can ignore him from this point forward. PS...Mel Gibson was drunk and ranting and Michael Richards just flew off the handle. No one asked them anything, they did it on their own. There is a HUGE difference in someone trying to say the right thing such as "I'm working hard, playing one game at a time...etc" and not offending Yankee fans. It's another thing to flat out engage in HATE speech. I don't think A-Rod is trying to control his racist urges whenever he gives a press conference. I can truly fault him for saying how he felt. Just as I can fault Matt Hale, Fred Phelps and other public figures who speech can incite hate towards a group for no reason but pure ignorance. I don't think Voltaire had this kind of pure hatred in mind when he said "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it!"

I'm not a huge fan of the Dreamworks CGI movies beyond the first Shrek and Over the Hedge. I find they are too reliant on big name stars and cheap pop culture references in the story. Whereas Pixar, the main focus is story and characters. Still, if the this film has half the subversive humor being displayed in these very clever ads, it might be a real winner. http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll...480&qth=300 You should check out the first trailer with Jerry and Chris Rock, too. http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll...480&qth=300

See, that's why Zambrano wants 15-18 Million!! So he can afford a matt outside his hottub. It all makes sense now!
