I'm still an idiot too though.

Great. Another diva. This Mario guy's reputation seems to proceed him, but until I see it he's just the next Aaron Maybin.

http://discovermagazine.com/2012/jul-aug/06-humans-with-super-human-vision/article_view?b_start:int=0&-C= Pretty cool mutation.

Most likely scrapes and bruises, soreness, etc. No sense in a veteran aggravating something in June.

Faneuil Hall is pretty neat. The Freedom Trail is a rather touristy thing to do, but if you don't mind being a greenhorn then go for it. Like PTR said, Fenway Park is a great place to digest a ball game. Don't bother with the Cheers bar. My biggest recommendation though is the Isabella Stewart-Gardner museum. If you're into art, it's a fantastic place.

I feel bad for animals like non-venomous snakes that get a bad rap. It's a shame.

I'm not a Dad, so I won't step into those shoes, but I always say bollocks to the sexual puritanism of our culture. There's nothing inherently salacious about nipples, after all, just a social construct.

Then I guess, Point 2 calls Point 1 into question. If this is truly a movie that can survive on its own concepts, why fall back on old-school terror elements like incompetent secondary characters dying off one by one? Not every big budget movie requires an ensemble cast, in my opinion, especially when they're so obviously just lambs being led to slaughter for our amusement. And of course you have the black guy sacrificing himself...Trey and Matt would be proud

Of course, these counting statistics are more of an effect than a cause.

That's pretty interesting. It would also explain how Dr. Shaw's totemic crucifix worked into the symbolism. My issue wasn't necessarily plot holes as much as how the script seemed to abandon its philosophical nature in the 2nd Act. For example, the remaining Engineer is a being from a race that mastered intergalactic travel 5,000 years before us...and yet his role in the movie is essentially bashing people's brains in like a gorilla.

If knocking up a supermodel disqualifies me from being a Buffalo Guy, then I'd be happily disqualified.

Thanks zepp. But seriously, it's one of those movies that you'll enjoy a lot more if you don't believe a lot of the hype. For a much more thoughtful space movie, check out Moon.

My review of Prometheus here... http://www.entertainment-bureau.com/prometheus-reviewsday-tuesday/2110

Honest question - how the hell did watermelons become a racial stereotype? Doesn't pretty much everybody love watermelon?

When Pineda went down, who would've thought the Yankees would have baseball's gnarliest starting staff?

Here's a toast to 15 happy years. So sorry for your loss.

Plenty of thin pitchers, but you're right in that Clemens was generally stocky. Now he's got Robert Paulson level bitchtits though .

In other news, Clemens got faaaaat.

I still don't know what the hell handball is, but I'll take #77 please!

You didn't wait very long to start putting words in my mouth, huh? I prefer a police force that has the prerogative to use lethal force when necessary, but a standing order to submit untried criminals to the justice system. Do you really not see why what these parents did is highly illegal? Imagine how many cases of mistaken identity would get innocent people murdered if this were legal. What if Dad had missed his target and the gangbanger returned deadly fire? What if he had missed his target and killed a passerby? Would things still be fine and dandy because he was protecting his family?

The level of justice where citizens roam around playing executioner without training? Your "evolution" of justice is pretty scary.

Of course, I shudder to think of setting precedents where vigilante justice is ok. Separate issue, but my instinct is to doubt the quality of parents whose daughter runs off with a pimp.

After watching Thigpen last year, it's hard to imagine how bad VY would have to be to lose that competition.

Totally agreed, hadn't thought of it in a Randian way though. As I point out, he does some dastardly things but he's a conflicted work in progress of a person.

Of course, that's pretty incompetent fixing if it happened. OKC could easily have won the game on the final possession.
