Wasn't meant as disrespect in any way to your current position.  But it does come across that way, and for that I will apologize.  I know you've worked damn hard to get where you're at.  What I meant was...you're aspiring for a lot more than your current position, no?   The hypothesis, once formed, is tested...if it doesn't hold up, it's modified until it does. Then you have a theory. ** Agreed -- there is feedback and ongoing modification in the process -- it's not as cut-and-dried as my email made it sound.  But my complaint is that your overarching "hypothesis" seems to be "Bush is an evil fucker!"  And you're willing to latch onto any subsidiary idea -- bid Laden did it with Bush's foreknowledge!  bin Laden DIDN'T do it, and Bush is covering it up!  Bush actually IS bin Laden!  [this is coming soon...] -- that goes along with that.  And that seems conspiratorial rather than scientific.   But...enough.  Let's keep hating on Ja Rule and the Golden Gloves.  Much easier and more fun.   -- dddm 12:40:42 PM    comment []

Word...so as not to repeat said isht.  Short and to the point.  I loved this film, and why wouldn't I?  It's Em, it's old-skool, it's street, it's confrontational, it's Kbass dressed down, and Bmurph dressed up. The story was adequate, and no there weren't any twists, but it's not a suspense film...it was funny, funnier than I thought it'd be (that Skynyrd isht was a trip).  It was less prepped for the masses than I thought it would be (he makes fun of the word 'dope' which I figured wack whytgyz learned last year and still overuse.) I can't tell you whether this was a good movie or not.  If you put golf, and hot bitches, and low-riders, and hip-hop, and street violence, and American bourbon, and cigarettes all in a movie with short smart ass characters and set it in a pool hall....well I guess I would like it a lot.  When it was over, I wanted 2 more hours, and my wife, who does think Em is the best in the game, said thank god cuz it dragged 40 minutes too long. So that's it.  PG-13 would've screamed SELL-OUT, and it was everything I wanted. That said, there is something about that Brittany Murphy girl that I can't get outta my head.  I flat-out toss to that.  She is uber-sexy, and I go for fishnet. -- Sweets 12:38:26 PM    comment []
