Yeah, things have gone too far with some of these blockbusters. It's one thing if you're pushing Batman, Iron Man, or a Pixar film. Those are licenses to print money. But Hollywood has totally forgotten how to produce a mid-range film. Maybe in a couple of years, we'll see them come back in style.

Oh, man! Christopher Kimball is such a weenie underneath the glasses and Ivy League education. I *think* he's basically an okay guy, but who can tell? The man has a degree in Primitive Art. I didn't even know that major existed. Gawd, is that WASPy or what?

You hate ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE? Get bent, jerk.** Where's my chainsaw when I need it? **Said in jest, but honestly, MANDY LANE isn't nearly that bad.

Hi. KAEPY! *swoons*

Jingus: know that you have an ally in your Coffin Joe hate. I wrote about that same movie on the 3.0 board, and watching Coffin Joe mock the townspeople on a studio stage the size of a half-bathroom makes me mad. Why didn't anyone just stab the jerk in the throat and call it a day? I mean, I get that he's supposed to be this version of the Boogie Man and Ol' BM can't really be had, but it makes no sense in this context. Coffin Joe should have been smoked with his carcass thrown to the dogs. I didn't understand it.

For sure. It's a weird thing. I think the studios just whiffed this time around.

July seemed oddly thought out by studios this year. Despicable Me 2 came out at just the right time and The Conjuring will be one of the suprise hits of the season. But the rest of the offerings seemed paltry. Of course, stuff like The Lone Ranger was always destined to be DOA.

The Wolverine is one of those movie franchises where nothing is horribly wrong, but it doesn't click. The indifference to it, especially with the charming Hugh Jackman as the lead, is strange.

Competitive food shows are fine, but PBS' Create channel with its cooking shows is where it is. America's Test Kitchen is simple, but so much fun.

Everyone is better with Sanchie around. Though Colin Kaepernick is making a strong case.

So Damian Wayne = DC's version of Old McDonald? E-I-E-I-OOOOOO! Sorry, couldn't resist.

I would so drive that beauty.

From Justin to Kelly is too much of a gimme, but it's hilariously awful. It's a good thing Clarkson can sing, because act she cannot. Guarini actually came across as somewhat charismatic, despite the terrible plot. But it's so funny to watch whole scenes that don't tie together at all. The hovercraft race on the beach must be seen by everyone. GAME OVER!

You'd be stuck on yourself too, if you controlled 70% of the world's surface.

BATCOW? Do I even want to know?

Yeah, some of those guys were big chubsters and working with elite coaches whips them into great shape over 3-4 years. But the PED point stands.

It speaks to Strong's talent. But it also speaks to Andrea Romano's dedication to developing relationships with said talent and keeping them in the loop for so long.

1973's MEDUSA is bad by any defintion. A dreadful film starring George Hamilton as a playboy (what else would he be?) who's in for big cash to the mob. Poorly acted, badly written, and the Romeo & Juliet implications between Hamilton and his on-screen sister is just nasty. Only the Greek landscape comes off good in this one. AWFUL!

Yeah, training facilities with quality food and weight rooms will only go so far. With all the big schools employing nutritionists for their athletes, it stands to reason that something is going down.

OK, that makes a little more sense. Still, you'd think Brown would know the basics of his contract.

I, for one, will welcome our "Cheers to your mom s***ing it!" overlord.

Don't watch that mess, madcap. All it does is boil the blood.

I can see Natural going to the theater just to scream WE DON'T WANT NO ONE-MINUTE MAN! when Shia comes on the screen, to keep his NATURAL SMASH SHIA streak going.

What's this? Natural has added a person to his BEWARE MY WRATH list to join Shia!

Part of it also could be that a lot of NBA players probably use European and Asian connections for their possible PEDs. I absolutely believe that some in the NBA use and we know they get procedures done that are not FDA approved.
