Have I Mentioned Recently How Much I Hate Bicyclists?
shrader replied to Chef Jim's topic in Off the Wall Archives
She's turning left and hit you with the front passenger side of the car. Does that mean she turned in front of you last second, you had no time to stop and ran into her? -
About 40 years too late it will land directly on Tom Brady.

Taylor Swift refuses cancer teen prom date offer...

Ahhh, ok. For some reason I was reading that as the Academy Awards. -

Yeah, it's completely idiotic. There are plenty of times where I'm walking across streets and I see cars blow through red lights (it's a huge issue out here in Boston). I may have the right of way, but there's no way I'm stepping out into that crosswalk until I know that the car has stopped. I may be in the right, but I'm not winning that collision. The biker sure as hell isn't either. -

And if it was a PR move, I don't think it matters one bit. Either way she's done a great thing for this kid. And on that note, did he wind up going? -
2012 Summer Movie Preview: Superheroes lead the way again....
shrader replied to Mark Vader's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I really shouldn't have thrown out that word "intellectual" here. I do think it was a smart movie, but what I was really going for was that it's not just your typical Michael Bay special effects-fest movie. The truck flip was the biggest effect and that wasn't exact flashy (very cool in imax though). -
I'm pretty sure mine was at 3.67 earlier this week when I gassed up. I've been meaning to post this one story though, so I'm glad this thread popped up. Over the weekend, I drove past a station that had their gas at 3.99. And that was the "cash" price. If you wanted to pay with a card, it was something like 10 cents more. Every other station was in the 3.60s. How can this place even think of going with that price? To go nearly 40 cents more than everyone else (because most people are paying with a card) in your immediate area is pure stupidity. You could even see another gas station from this one's pumps, so only pure laziness would lead you to not driving down the street.

a bit of Nostalgia - who had this on there wall?

I had a Bruce Smith "leader of the sack" poster. It was nowhere near as disgusting as that name might sound. -

The Rachel character was definitely the week point of the two movies (both Holmes and Maggie). When they were working with established characters they did great, but creating Rachel from scratch really didn't work too well. Hopefully Catwoman will work out better this time since she's another established character. Do your negative thoughts on Bale in the Dark Knight go beyond the batman voice stuff? I liked just about everything he did outside of the batsuit, especially his interactions with Alfred. But then again, what can't Michael Caine do right? That's the one thing they've definitely had going for them in all of these movies. The casting has been great. Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman... and these are just supporting roles. -

Neither movie is even remotely near the mindless entertainment label. They are far more intellectual than any comic book movie that comes to mind and both were incredibly well written and planned out. I'm guessing that you're trying to tie these into the Burton and Schumacher movies, which is a big mistake. They're not connected in any way other than the character names. You should give at least one of them a shot some time, you may be surprised. Worst case scenario, you've lost 2 hours. It can't be any worse than watching a Bills game. As for the bolded line, take out the costume part and isn't that what 90% of movies are about? -

shrader replied to Mark Vader's topic in Off the Wall Archives
He's thrown that comment out in past threads at least once before. He's clearly never actually watched either movie. How closely related to Alien is it supposed to be? The things I've read make it sound like they're actually trying to stay away from those connections and it actually being a true prequel. -
It can't be that unbalanced of a number. If that were the case, nearly every story would be so obviously biased in the favor of the players. We all know there are plenty of crappy writers out there, but anyone who is even somewhat decent would quickly realize they're probably not getting the full story if they just keep reporting comments from agents.

That's a lot of cops/firefighters. How long was he in there before he got that much of a response?

Wouldn't you have to hack someone else up with her?

Nah, you'd only get half.

The only thing they need to undo is that trainwreck 3rd movie. They probably would have been better off abandoning the character for a few more years since there was nowhere to go with the series after that one. -

Ok, I'll bite. What the hell? Please tell me Jefferson Davis is a vampire. -

shrader replied to Mark Vader's topic in Off the Wall Archives
True, but none of them have already been established as headliners. No one was going into those movies wishing for a Storm movie. But then again, since they have had their separate movies, I guess they don't have to waste time on character development. -

I'll see it, but I really don't think they're going to make the Avengers work. I don't know how you load that many characters into one movie. They did so well with most of the lead ins (except the Hulk screw up), so I'll give it a chance. I'm sure I've said it on here a few times, but Batman is clearly the highlight of the year for me. Those first two movies are the perfect example of how "superhero" movies (yeah, he's not really a superhero) should be done. -
Or maybe she was just ugly.

That station will take so much heat if anyone pushes to have that dog put down. They'll quietly back down, not mention the anchor for a while and hope everything goes away.

I wonder how strict their physicals are compared to other teams. We would have at least gotten a draft pick out of John McCargo if it wasn't for an Indy physical.

I miss the days where a thread would continue on after the pixyland post. Now it just quickly turns into a long series of people saying "you got me". That said, I wonder how many people here actually have that site bookmarked.

I'm just wondering if he's drinking after they shot him full of whatever it was that made him able to play. -
