The Cowboys are so terrible
Yet, both your team and mine have the same record despite Lions beating the Cowboys. The NFC North caught our mediocrity.

Anyway, Soul Men is more unknown than unpopular, but it's awesome. And Mac was on the cusp of something man, he totally killed Samuel L Jackson in this. Without spoiling too much, here's vintage Mac:
Soul Men is a weird one. The first twenty or so minutes was just superb stuff from Bernie and Sam. Hell, the scene you posted was from the first 10 or 15 minutes of the movie. The apartment scene was classic. It was when they got on the road where it fell apart for me because it turned into your average, formulaic estranged buddies getting back together flick except with a black twist. The first twenty minutes seem like it was done off-the-cuff and then the rest was scripted mess.
Another thing that was off about the movie was Affion Crockett's role. I like Affion but just not in this movie. This movie is partly the reason I was skeptical about him getting that show in primetime on Fox (which ultimately died a slow death). I know Affion has been around a LONG time so it's either take a shit or get off the pot for him. However, he would be best served as a featured player and not the lead guy. He can do celebrity impressions pretty fucking well, but his comedic timing is off when he does characters they come up for him. He ratchets it up about 30x too much here. They probably should have cast DeRay Davis (Affion's former Wild-N-Out castmate) in the role of the daughter's BF because DeRay is literally standup DeRay in EVERY movie. Even in something like 21 Jump Street where he was suppose to be a tough guy. He isn't very versatile, but he gets the job done because he has natural timing.
It was a pretty okay movie, but the first 20 minutes should have been the remaining hour of the movie.

He hasn't passed yet, but there is a very slim chance he survives when they remove him from life support.

That is correct.
This is the the first TUF to have someone in the finals who has a 1-3 pro record (Rakoczy). If that isn't a sign this show needs to die, I don't know what is.
She is a former boxing champ who was fighting girls who she wasn't suppose to be fighting w/ zero experience training MMA. That would be a serious impediment to anyone's win-loss record.

Since I'll probably never see a proper film adaptation of NEUROMANCER, at least there's the cheesy "unauthorized version" known as NEMESIS (1992). And considering it's from the same hack who gave us BRAINSMASHER: A LOVE STORY and ALIEN FROM L.A., it's...more entertaining than it has any right to be.
Whole damn movie's on YouTube, to boot.
The guy who did Splice is suppose to be doing Neuromancer with Liam Neeson as Armitage.
-
Well, they shot the movie more than two years ago and it's just now coming out.
-
Also, I have a great idea. Lets cast Kat Dennings and then have her run around in a huge winter jacket the entire film.
They were in London, man. Everytime I was there on business I always wore a heavy coat even during the Spring.
Sometimes, you have to sacrifice for the sake of your art...
..or people seeing your giant cans. One or the other.

I think it completely stalled, anyway.
But there was something about them wanting to pay Craig less than the contract called for, and they discussed dropping the entire (co-lead) character.
www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/girl-dragon-tattoo-sequel-whats-416621
Sources close to the project say the biggest holdup isn't Fincher's involvement but star Daniel Craig's. The studio has options on Craig for two sequels, but the actor is said to want a pay raise, not a cut, in the wake of Skyfall grossing $1 billion worldwide. If Sony can't bring Craig back to reprise his role as journalist Mikael Blomkvist, the sources say the studio could write the character out of the sequel. (A Craig source says negotiations have yet to commence but the actor wants to return to the role.)
-
Wasn't there some big deal about them wanting Craig to take a pay cut or maybe making the film without him?
I know they brought in someone to rewrite what Zaillan had wrote, but the chances of Fincher returning are slim to none. I know Rooney Mara contractually has to come back so I guess Craig would have to come back as well. But Craig has many projects already lined up and those Bond movies film for like half a year. So if they were going to get film out for 2015, they already missed their window.
-
Because the books had become a big hit here to, and lots of people just will not watch foreign films.
At least, I assume that was the thought process.
And that thought process doomed a second film being made anytime soon. That's swell.

Two crime films nobody talks about, one really good and one kinda ehhhh that I love a lot: State of Grace and City of Industry. Those are both two late-night satellite catches I got that I absolutely adore. The former is legit amazing with a great psychotic Gary Oldman performance and perfect finale, City of Industry has Stephen Dorff being a scumbag and Harvey Keitel being himself. Lots of ludicrous plot twists but again a great shootout ending. It also has a really good performance from Famke Janssen.
I second the love of Gary Oldman in State of Grace.

Girl with did over a 100 million. Not great, but it's not like it was a complete bomb.
I know that, but why the fuck would you do it in 2011?
-
I like the Mara/Craig version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but why the fuck would you remake a movie that came out TWO years prior? That's insanely retarded. If Oldboy flops, it's going to make it extremely tough for the rest of Vengeance remakes to get traction.

One last thing: you guys know title histories but couldn't come up with Razor after I specifically mentioned wrestling. Just baffled.

Ok. I dunno if anyone else is gonna bother tonight, but I'm getting my question in now while I still think it's nerdishly clever. The following dates are all connected. What do they represent?
10/29/1995
11/15/1998
11/14/1999
2/29/2000
8/19/2001
10/29/2004
The only clue I'll give right here is that chronological isn't really the best way to order these.
Can we get any clue what category the answer is suppose to be in?
-
Yeah, that was not good. Not good at all.
