I don't know what it is but I think robin was hotter back in the day. Don't get me wrong, as tony soprano would say I wouldn't kick her out of bed for fudge and cookies.

First she was just right, then too skinny, then pregnant, and it took her a long time to bounce back.

It's not her funny bone that I'm concerned with, it's my..... Well, never mind.

Then those 300,000 condoms were a low estimate?

love how some of the "minor" band of brothers actors are making a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE push in hollywood these days, especially in these action movies (janovic in inception, christenson in inglorious bastards and miller in wanted ... now chrisenson/miller in x-men 1st class, which looks awesome).

Janovic is also "Bane" in the new batman movie.

True Grit was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a few months.

I thought it was supposed to be like real super serious, artsy Oscar-bait snobby type stuff....

but I was rolling throughout the whole movie.

Agreed, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

The Sunset Limited was quite good. Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson are the only two actors in the movie and they never leave the screen... so it's 1:30 of those two going back and forth with each other. Great acting and writing.

I just re-watched Rudy. A very inspiring film as well as a great film. I never realized how silly it is at the end for the offense to bomb it deep instead of running out the clock.

Also, my favorite part would have to be when Rudy is in the locker room pretending to be the coach.

I wish I had the awareness (or whatever you call it) as a child of taking some things in my life seriously. I would've loved to practice and develop some skills in football or baseball (baseball more so). I should've played in high school. I regret not even getting a chance to play high school baseball.

LAST OF THE MOHICANS

With the recent interview by Sheen saying he wants to do Major League 3 - I have to ask: Did people really hate Major League 2? Major League 1 was amazing but I thought Major League 2 was pretty good as well. Sure it was more comical and such but it was still a great movie.

Sheen also thinks he's sober.

I think there is a 3rd Major League movie without Sheen, but I could be wrong.

Oh yeah hes a nutjob. I guess I should've rephrased to ask: "What do people really think of Major League 2?"

There is but I haven't seen it. It's like "Major League: Back to the Minors"
