Isn't there a one " " limit per post? If not, there should be!

It's a shame your parents didn't do this. If they did, you wouldn't be asking society to keep certain factions of itself away from you. Do I find crying kids in movie theaters annoying? Sure I do. Do I find children smashing crackers at the next table distracting? Of course. But I don't shrivel up in the fetal position hoping that parents will keep their kids out of my way because I simply don't have the capacity to deal with it. Kids (and the annoying things kids do) are part of society, keeping them bottled up at home away from those with limited patience isn't going to teach them the things they need to know to get along in society. To do that they need (gasp!) extensive social interactions, in a variety of settings (like, for instance, a restaurant)

Yeah, someone here is wallowing in self-importance...

Why do you care what's in the top 10? Is this the extent of the films you go to see? There are TONS of good films made every year. You just need to seek them out instead of having the Hollywood marketing department decide what's worth seeing for you. There's an entire world of cinema out there, if you're tired of Hollywood check out what the rest of the world is producing (or hell, check out what's coming from the US outside of the top 10 lists).

How do the rules work for overseas players? If Mike Williams couldn't get into the NFL because he wasn't 3 years removed from high school why can this 19 year old guy from England?

ns, you need 3 solid CBs on your roster, minimum...the Bills don't have 3. Taylor might not be the player he once was, but he's better than everybody on our roster except Clements.

Going down the top 100 grossing films of all time, adjusted for inflation, these are the films I haven't seen: The Ten Commandments (1956) Thunderball (1965) Love Story (1970) Cleopatra (1963) Around the World in 80 Days (1956) The Bells of St. Mary's (1945) The Passion of the Christ (2004) The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) House of Wax (1953) How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921) Of course, today not all of these films are "famous", even though they obviously were back when they were released. The two films that are still considered "big" films today on that list (not counting the ones that are recent releases) are The Ten Commandments and Cleopatra...so I guess that's my answer.

Does anybody else see the irony of every other poster calling others "hot pockets" now...?

Up until a few years ago Moulds was most definately considered one of the tope 5 WRs in the league by many.

WTF do album sales have to do with the music? What the hell do I care how an album sells...its all about the music, period. Radiohead, the Pixies, Public Enemy and many of the others on that list made great f'in albums, I give a sh-- if the public was perceptive enough to go out and buy the album or of the bands/record companies didn't put the cash behind a marketing campaign to sell the album. And its not like these are small garage bands anyway, these almost all big name bands, if you haven't heard of 'em then you probably haven't been paying attention to music in the past 15 years or so.

Yeah, because popularity is indicative of quality Have fun listening to your Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears BF...

I've never understood why Americans are so infatuated with Hollywood. There are loads and loads of great films made every year from all around the world if one is willing to search them out (and I’m not just talking about foreign films that companies like Miramax decide to distribute). I realize that most people in this country don't live in a place that shows many of these films, which is a shame...however, most films that get any sort of distribution end up on Netfilx at one point or another. Sure seeing a film at home isn't the same experience as going to the theater, but it beats handing of loads of cash for "blockbuster" fair that usually falls flat. Its amazing what one can find if they don’t just allow the Hollywood marketing squad to determine what they go see.

That's actually a pretty good list for the most part. OK Computer, It Takes a Nation, Sufer Rosa and 3 Feet High and Rising are all amazing albums...and Nevermind is pretty damn good too. As much as I love OK computer, I'd go with The Bends as Radiohead's best...and I'd place it right behind Jane's Addictinos "Nothing's Shocking" as my favorite album of the past 20 years (Surfer Rosa would most likely slide into the 3 spot).

I don't believe Drew lacks the burning desire to succeed, I think he lacks the ability to make quick reads and throw the short/intermediate throws accurately. You can want to excell all you want, but if you just can't do things that are necessary for success, you're bound to fail.

If by "all categories" you mean TD's and YPR then you'd be right...but if you're going to include those pesky categories like receptions and yards you might want to reconsider this statement.

That would be an adaptation, not a remake. Best remake of a film: His Girl Friday (remake of The Last Page...which was an adaptation of a play) Best remake of a song: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Higher Ground

I can't think of a single player that missed the majority of their first 2 seasons with injuries that ever came back to have a productive career. Winslow is pretty much done imo.

I'm not sure I get your logic here...why would TD refuse a 5th rounder only to release Henry for nothing?

I'd think a sign of the apocalypse would be that people actually care who has a star on the Hollywood walk of fame...

Kiarostami is an Iranian filmaker and has been around for quite awhile but he just started getting recognition in the western hemosphere in the past decade. The film that Kiarostami is most known for is probably A Taste of Cherry, though he's had quite a few other fantastic films in the past 10 or so years such as Ten, The Wind Will Carry Us, Through the Olive Trees and As Life Goes On. He's also a talented writer and unlike most other filmmakers out there actually writes for directors other than himself (Last year's Crimson Gold being a great example of this). Anyway, yeah you're right, there are tons of films out there that most people in America has never heard of that are excellent films...mostly because the distributers of films in this country think that there is no market for them and because they think this (big surprise) they've created no market for them. There are a handful of places in the country you can live and be able to check out foreign and small budget films that get limited releases...thankfully I live in such a place (NYC).

I saw it quite a few times as a kid actually. =P

Yeah, I agree with you...though one can kinda/sorta excuse their thinking here if what they were trying to do was put some films by "new auteurs" on the list (instead of lists packed with the same old Kurosawa, Godard, Renoir, Bergman, Hitchcock, etc films). I guess Pedro Almodovar qualifies as such, though I'm not a big fan of his body of work. The inclusion of The Fly goes along with this line of thinking as Cronenberg is one of the better thought of filmmakers working today. Of course the glarying ommission of any Abbas Kiarostami films might disprove this theory as there are quite a few academics that consider him the greatest filmmaker working today. Also, a closer look at this list reveals that there are no Hitchcock films on the list. I don't think I've ever seen a list of this sort that doesn't include at least one Hitch film...usually Vertigo.

And no High and Low, which I consider his best...and prob my favorite film at this time.

Yeah, I prefer Metropolis to M (though both are excellent), though I may prefer Lang's Fury to both (the film that ended up launching Spencer Tracy into the limelight). As for Nemo, it looks like they were trying to find a contemperary animated movie to put on the list...if this is the case there are way better choices out there imo, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Toy Story 1 & 2 (I prefer 2)...Nemo is a limp fish imo...not bad, but not great either.

Well, that might have something to do with A Fistful of Dollars being a remake of Yojimbo, which is a far superior film Imo (then again, I'm of the opinion that Kurosawa can do little wrong). Also, I notice they've included a few TV series on the list, the Decologue (which is a fantatic 10 part series by Kieslowski) and The Singing Detective. I guess I'm a purest when I say that I don't think these should even qualify. They've also messed up the translation of the title of one of the greatest silent films ever made, "Man With the Movie Camera" and called it "Man with the Camera". I was kind of surprised by the films on the list...and I like what they were trying to do, including popular cinema with classics, silents and "art" films. However, even with that intention I have no idea how the hell Finding Nemo makes it on this list. I don't even necessarily like or admire many of the films that they've listed (hell, I downright loathe some of them), but I can see an arguement for most of them....but not Nemo. I've seen 82 of the films on the list...granted, I have my masters degree in film theory and history.
