Brian Erni recommends ESPN. fantasy season hasn't started just yet, but we're getting closer.

and who here doesn't love a good argument? well, we probably have some time, still like 2.5 months until freaking season starts.

What's a good keeper site? Yahoo doesn't do that right?

Vic Sage wrote: i like both those ideas, but wouldn't a "live" draft require an in-person meeting (which penalizes our out-of-town participants)? And keeper leagues require an optimism about our continued existence as a species (or even a CPF subset of our species) that i'm not sure i share. so you're saying I shouldn't really worry about trying to lose weight for the future? gotcha. I'm good with the keeper league idea. I don't think we have to do a live draft do we? It would certainly help with the randomness I felt like was inherent with trying to guess which fringe guys were going to get playing time if someone got hurt last year since we pretty much had every active player on the rosters.

Netflix wrote: For the up-and-comers on Philadelphia's west side, West Philly Grounds is the place to be. There, Claire (Jennifer Love Hewitt) serves wisdom along with coffee and scones. The clientele comes to her with advice in love, life and careers. But even the neighborhood's favorite gathering place has a dark side. Jamie Kennedy, Alexa Vega, Madeline Carroll and Daniel Eric Gold co-star in writer-director Marc Erlbaum's slice-of-life drama. That description was horrible. It really has nothing to do with anything like that. this one's better IMDB wrote: When tragedy strikes the community surrounding a cafe in West Philadelphia, the cafe's regulars come to realize how intertwined their lives truly are. Either way, I enjoyed this one, despite the very blatant biblical allusions. The story basically takes place within the Cafe the entire time, except for one scene just outside. It goes day by day and you check in with most of the regulars as they develop their story and you learn new things about them all. A lot of interesting stories that I think were richly created, although some have very little to do all-in-all with the overall plot. Lots of beautiful women in the there too.

btw, apparently Verabschiedung is German for adoption.

gave it 2.5. It wasn't bad, although very stereotypical and predictable. Definitely had some funny/ridiculous moments though, and was very watchable.

watching it right now. They just failed to get to Vegas. I'm..I dunno, mildly entertained? Granted, I'm photoshopping little kids into a bowl of M & Ms while I'm watching, so I'm only giving it like 77% attention.

More people would read reviews written like that. I accidentally gave this a three before reading the thread and got the movie wrong. I'd thought I'd saw it because for 6 months everytime I saw my Grandma she'd ask me the name of the movie since it was Heath Ledger's last project or whatever. But I confused it in my head with that weird toy-store movie with Natalie Portman. sounds like i'd enjoy giving it a once over though. Stunning images..should I download it on Blu-ray/HD then?

The Second Spitter wrote: Eddie (Bradley Cooper) down on his luck (it's tough) stumbles upon the mother of all smart pills. Hijinks ensue. Plot holes aplenty and deus ex machina ending aside, vaguely enjoyable. Best to think of it as a seriously- toned Brewster's Millions and it's attempt at social critique carries about as much weight as that film. De Niro miscast. I enjoyed it. Wasn't great, but fun still. I don't know if De Nero was miscast as much as mis-developed. He mostly exists as Cooper's stepping stone. He could've been like a non-drug genius and represented what could be with just an iron will and ruthless attitude, but it's not really developed well.

read somewhere today that he'll be stretched out to start next season. Even if he's ultimately a reliever, they want him to get the extra IP.

Edgy DC wrote: Well, yeah, I know there were five books, but if the film wasn't conceived with the intent to start a franchise, I don't put it in the same category as, say, Lost in Space, where the actors all signed on for three films. 6, but okay then.

Edgy DC wrote: Was that meant to continue? Have plans for that gone away? well, there are 5 more books in the trilogy. There are no plans for the second book. Adams had worked on the first movie some, and unsuccessfully, but died well before it was ever made. There are petitions out there for it too.

But there's nothing saying that he couldn't dream him up later either. But he knows how he got to the airport, which is supposedly a sign he's awake. But they don't show how he got to the house ultimately. Anyway, that it can drive you crazy is why I love it. One of my favorite movies in a while.

We'll never know. It's supposed to be ambigious. What's important apparently is that Cobb doesn't care what the totem reveals. the totem always annoyed me though, because he gives away it's secret.

Finally saw it last night. (captain America I guess needs to be on tap..) I enjoyed it. Although most of my comic book history is fuzzy, because I didn't read that many of them. I always tell myself I'm going to grab some and read up on them, but I never know where to start, so most of my Marvel stuff I know is off of PS3 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance (great games btw. lots of fun)

Vic Sage wrote: gross out guy-bonding comedy meets chick flick for inconsistent results. Its like if THE VIEW had a bastard love child with THE HANGOVER and spawned a strangely sweet kid, surprisingly bright but with a personality disorder that caused her to fling feces around like a deranged chimp. This is what I expected from the previews, though I expected(well, expect, I haven't seen it) I won't like it. Although I'm sure at one point I'll see it. Come to think of it, I watched almost no movies before I met my wife.

Edgy DC wrote: Vic Sage wrote: A quiet, contemplative, deliberately paced movie with much to say, that avoids most (if not all) sports movie cliches. I liked it alot. And Pitt's perf as aging jock seemed pitch-perfect, working well off of goofball gone straight Jonah Hill. Just enough baseball to keep it a baseball movie and not a business movie. and it makes a folk hero out of Scott Hatteberg. If I recall correctly, I thought it would die in development because sports movies need a Last Second Victory Against Improbable Odds. Vic insisted the story had enough to sail by anyhow. Looking forward to it. The book has one of these, and near the end if I recall, when the A's break the consecutive win streak record after falling behind in the game. That must have made the movie right?
