I'm always concerned about signing guys off a good half-season, at an advanced age, with an injury history. that's how you end up paying millions to guys sitting on the bench, like Marlon Anderson.

i think folks are being a little ungrateful, when here is Fred giving us all the answer to life, the universe, and everything... right there, in the rotunda.

Maybe its really a tribute to "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" author Douglas Adams.

me, too.

i preferred the porno version: "Romancing the Bone". RAIN MAN is a solid movie; BONE is a turd.

Sarandon was around 40 when she shot BULL DURHAM and Demi Moore, on her bestest day, couldn't lick the hem of Ms. Sarandon's garter belt in that movie. In fact, Susan is hotter today, at age 62, then Moore has ever been in her entire talentless, plasticene life. You take on the bull, you gonna get the horns.

FLETCH is middling. SPLASH has a naked daryl Hannah, so it gets the FMan tie-breaker.

i love both these movies. I went with Lloyd. And Jon, about that Gabriel song... bite me.

Her career started late, so she skipped the whole "young hottie" phase and went straight to playing MILFs, from her naked big-screen debut in KRAMER V KRAMER, to POLTERGEIST, to BIG CHILL. When she aged out of that, she was stuck with TV movies and guest appearances.

John Hughes Teen Films leave me cold cold cold. that's just because you never saw the director's cut, where Claire goes down on Carl the janitor. And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations They're quite aware of what they're going through... a classic

But if that's the criteria that makes a film good, then so be it. it's not really a criteria... just an ocasional tie-breaker. for example, if TRADING PLACES was up against FISH CALLED WANDA, i'd vote for TRADING PLACES because, all other things being equal (both being well crafted comedies), JLCurtis gives us great boobage in that one, but in WANDA, she doesn't.

FOOTLOOSE was one of the worst movies, not only of the 80's, but of the entire history of cinema. TRADING PLACES was not only a solid piece of entertainment, it made a socio-economic statement, and, most importantly, it showcased Jamie Lee Curtis' prodigious talents. The TiTTS say "yea, verily, yea!"

youse folks are out of your cotten pickin minds. ARTHUR is a dated piece of sentimental claptrap. ROAD WARRIOR will be taught in film schools for generations, like PSYCHO. It is one of the top 5 movies, not only of the 80s, but of the last 30 years.

FISH is a great throwback to those wonderful Ealing Studio comedies of the 40s-50s with Alec Guiness. It's clever and well done, with great cast and script. But FISH is to INDIANA JONES as a drizzle is to a thunder-storm.

BHC sucks BHMC. it's "product". TOOTSIE is an actual movie... A funny, touching, wonderfully crafted movie.

what is this "world series" of which you speak? J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!

He'll only have 1 year on the contract; He'll be 37 next year; His up-and-down 2007 and crappy first half of 2008 are not secrets. I don't think we can count on getting anything special for him. It's not necessarily an argument against Texieria, but worth considering. Especially if $$$ is no object, or presumed to be. first of all, $$$ is always an object. secondly, we don't need to get anything special for him, just a competent 4th starter. If we can move his $12m contract for a guy who can give us league average numbers and around 200 IP, we can pursue Texiera, play Murphy at either LF or 2b, patch the other slot and pursue BP help (ie, Fuentes).

you could fill all those holes, and it won't matter if Delgado reverts to his 1st half form next season. We were a .500 team with his bat in the middle of the lineup, and it wasn't until he started hitting that it got turned around. I think that his hot 2nd half is just the thing we need to SELL HIGH on him, and fill the slot with an all-star under 30. Then, you fill the lf/2b/#5 starter/bullpen holes, with the delgado trade, other trades, FAs, and the system. but i don't want to go into next season NEEDING carlos to repeat his 2nd half for a full season for the offense to work. Certainly the BP was primarily to blame for coming up short, but BPs are always a crap shoot and generally a bad place to spend money, whereas if Carlos had a full season, instead of only 1/2 of one, we may have had a much bigger cushion going into that final week. Maybe we'd still blow it and maybe we wouldn't have. Carlos has given us an asset that is dealable, and i'd rather deal him than count on him. If Carp and/or Evans prove they can hit AAA pitching (which i don't think they've done yet), that gives us more assets, and Evans can play LF. But counting on Delgado next year, and a prospect 2 years from now, while Texiera is currently on the market for nothing more than $$, is, IMO, completely nutsy.

Tons of options. as for Delgado, you would think there are some AL teams that need his potential sock. Oakland's got nothig going on at 1b, nor does Cleveland, and both have some pitching to spare. Toronto, too, for that matter. But if Billy Beane has lost confidence in Street to close, or if they don't think Ziegler's the answer either, i'd take either one as part of a deal. And i think the kind of FA you look to get to fill a 5th slot in the rotation is alot different than pursuing a Sabatha, or somebody like that, so i'm not overly concerned as to whether you go after a bottom of the order inning eater thru FA or thru the system. I'm ok with Santana-Pelfrey-Maine as our top 3 guys. I'd rather invest money in an everyday player under age 30, who is more likely to stay healthy and be productive, then tie up even MORE money (above what we're giving to Santana) in fragile arms. I think Delgado made himself a commodity thru a strong 2nd half. Lets capitalize on it now, rather than risk him repeating that trick.

Name ONE quote from Nightmare. ONE. I dare ya. i don't know why that's a defining criteria, but ok, here's 2: - Freddie: "I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy!" - "One, two, Freddy's coming for you. / Three, four, better lock your door. / Five, six, grab your crucifix. / Seven, eight, better stay awake. / Nine, ten, never sleep again..."

totally. it's a series of set-pieces, so you can pick it up at any point and get some entertainment. Aretha, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, and the BBs themselves all give highly entertaining performances; and car crashes this excessive are always fun.

AIRPLANE!, despite its towering place in our collective unconscious, started a terrible sub-genre and wasn't particularly good even in its day. Now, it is almost unwatchable. MIDNIGHT RUN is a good, above-average action comedy. I don't think its anything that special, but it's certainly a better movie than AIRPLANE.
