"except Amy Adams, man she was pathetic" WUT? She did the second best job in the movie. Anyways,.... Pacific Rim - Good action flick. Acting was nothing specialm but held up. Action scenes were good but reptetive. That said, movie was held done by a let down finale that while awesome felt like a cheap ME2 rip off plus the movie felt more like a sequel than a first in a potential series. It really needed to start with the basics with protracted original attacks, building of mechs, and character study. This story shoulda been saved for a sequel. Still, fun viewing. 7/10 "I'd almost put it on the same level as Escape From New York as far as amazingly awesome B-movies." I doubt it. teh difference is EFNY is held together by good acting.

You tried to make it sound like I was pretending the Rangers were some awesome organziation. I bash them all the time. L0L

"ight, instead they sign players to contracts like Brad Richards and then bench them in the playoffs" L0L Because I have never criticized that franchise. L0LZ Why are you so ignorant?

"The Devils are a top notch organization, though. I bet Lou has some sort of plan up his sleeve." Top notch organziations don't end up having a player like Kolvachuk flat otu choose to dump their butts - espicially just two eyars after theyr eached the finals and his reputation was at all an all time high. Quite frankly, NJ is one of the luckiest organziations ever - having a goalie like Brodeur be your goalie for 2 decades makes it much easier to be successful since you know he's alsways gonna make them competitive. Lou is a solid GM but he has made both good and bad decisions. And, Hemsky is nowhere near the level of Kolvachuk.

I don't think they should ahve been fired and could have understood albeit disagree if the alwsuit was about that... but, how was the work environment 'unsafe'? I don't think that word means what the suer thinks it means.

"I am usually pretty lenient on players leaving, but what Kovalchuk did is completely inexcusable. The Devils have invested SO much in him that this completely ridiculous. He signed a 15 year contract that wound up costing us a first round draft pick, and his entire negotiation process in 2010 could have been used on locking up Parise long term instead. He's not leaving any money on the table, he's going to make just as much (if not more) playing in the KHL and it's tax free. " It's totally excuseable. He doesn't feel the NHL is worth hsi time. He has the right to retire. devils have the right to accept it and void his contract. He owes the Devils nothing. Nobody complains why NHL treats players like trash. I never feel bad when professional teams, owners, and fans get 'screwed'. They all deserve it.

Yeah, but The Stand was epic. It was an event. It was, also, i believe one of King's first tv mini series along with It - another epic mini series (that's being remade as a movie I believe). Anyways, back to Under the Dome.. it's a good show but it is missing the oomph of other King tv adaptations.

I loved the Langoliers. It's not perfect but it is vastly superior to Under the Dome (so far). For one thing, it doesn't completely follow the 'King tropes' listed above. The acting is better, the mystery is cooler, and is well written. I do realzie it isn't his most popular tv movie but it is sorely underrated.

Maximum Overdrive was awesome. The Mangler... was mangled... Also, I said it wasn't as good as many of his other works. That's true.. even if it falls 'in the middle'. Afterall, King has written 100+ stories so in the middle that be 50ish which means there are many better. GAME OVER.

"You mean until someone already did it?" Accusing him of lying? He's telling the truth. Prove him wrong. That said, i love Stephen King but Under the Dome, while watchable, is nowhere near as good as many of his other works - film, tv, or novel.

That first video shows a big reason why cops are often no better than criminals. While no actual violence is used, it is clear that for that cop it is all about power and control; NOT public safety. Police do NOT like civilians telling the cops what rights civilians have. And, when one points it out to them, they'll do anything they can to show 'who is boss'. That is EVIL. And, to me, completely misses the point of what the police should be. TO PROTECT AND TO SERVE. not to intimidate and control

"The point was that the Media glorifies all sorts of law breaking. Drugs, booze (underage in particular), hookers (with a "heart of gold" of course), the Mob, "gangstas" and driving fast are all things that have entire films dedicated to their glorification." Oh, please. people were doing all these things well before the modern 'celebrity' came to be. "And it doesn't help that certain activities are SO widespread (Speeding and pot smoking) that it can feel like people are specifically targeted when they're the ones who get ticketed/arrested. I mean you're sitting there getting a ticket while people fly by at 80 (in a 65 zone) and you're gonna be pretty pissed at the cop." I agree with this. It's why I think speeding and drugs shouldn't be illegal neccessarily. Speeding should simply be under the 'dangerous driving' law or whatever it is called since not all 'speeding' is dangerous. In fact, i have never seen ANy driver who is udner the speed limit. Even the slwoest of drivers tend to go over the limit once and awhile - espicially on the highway where the limit maybe 90 but people will go upwards of 110 or 120 .. YET.. here is the kicker... they have complete control of the car with no dangerof crashing it. Of coruse, in cities, speeding is a little different b/c of pedestrians and red lights. But, there are laws tod eal with that crap.

Meh. They're the type of team that will either end up with the one of the best records.. or out of the playoffs.. kind of like the jekyell and hyde of the last two seasons.

Dark Knight Rises - once again, Batman is one of the least compelling characters in his own movie. I loved the young cop and Not. Catwoman. the most. 7.5/10

Howard made the right choice. He goes to a rising team and leaves a team that is too reliant on an aging crippled superstar. Not to mention a horrible overrated one dimensional coach who cannot adapt. yeah, he leaves more money on the table but I think he'll be alright moolah wise. And, if people claim that he sucks or is overrated or isn't the best center. He led the league in rebounds and FG% this season despite recovering from a serious injury and he did this with the wacky circus that is LA. Now, I wonder what nonsense that LA, their supports, and King Kobe will spew to make it sound like Howard is a coward or some stupid thing when theyw ere begging him to stay. Nor do we need to hear how he'll never win a championship when that is the same stupidity that was spewed with Lebron as well. L0L You know the whole 'Cleveland will win a championship before the 'self proclaimed King well' kind of nonsense. R00fles! LONG LIVE DWIGHT HOWARD! DOOM TO ANTI DWIGHT HOWARDS WHO ARE CRYBABIES, WUSSIES, LOSERS, AND JEALOUS GREENSKINS!

"I mean, in pop culture today, It's expected that celebs are going to be doing drugs and drinking like their livers are impossible to kill. Smoking weed is basically entirely out in the open, and things like prostitution are known to happen along side the drugs. The population starts following along (weed in particular) and then feel targeted any time a cop shows up at their door, particularly when they see the "upper class" get caught with 10 times the amount and end up in a posh rehab facility for six weeks before they get released back to the world. Meanwhile the average joe gets upwards of 1 year in jail." You think prostitution exists because celebrities take aprt in it? L0L People do drugs because they enjoy the high. And, please most people who get caught for drugs don't spent much if any time in jail. Sadly, I know more thana few people who have taken drugs and got caught and are unlucky enough to spend one night in jail. I also believe you are making crap up with your make believe numbers. I also love how you took a cop thread into a bash celebrities and rich people. L0LZ

You don't get lucky when you win championships. You earn them. they were good enough tow in that makes them the best team. Period.

If you have a group of four police officers. Two dickheads who abuse their power. And, two otheriwse good guys who just want to do their job and do it the right way. But, they ignore all the scummy things the two dickheads are doing out of a sense of loyalty the 'two good guys' are really no better. And, it hurts the whole organization.

Look in a mirror bud. You've been making up silly scenarios as well ala your speeding ticket one. Yet, you whine when I do it. There are tons of examples of police going too far yet you defend them as 'obey the cops and if you don't you deserve to die lolololol'. I say 'obey the mob 'cause if you don't you deserve to die lololol'.

Everything you said is true but none of it explains why it all adds up to 'this a 3 mil player not 5mil or 1mil'.

"Translation: you could be mauled, robbed, mutilated, and more with a police officer watching without doing a thing and he wouldn't be liable for negligence." That's because too often the police aren't used to help and protect innocents but to uphold power and control the populace. The ideal police mandate just doesn't exist anymore. Hence why they look more like an army than a police force. Thanfkully, that kind of crapculture hasn't completely invaded by place of living.

"Do you recommend getting into car chases to dispute traffic tickets as well?" I like how you avoid the issue of abhorrent police behaviour for something that has nothing to do with it? "Your odds of getting your neck broken are way greater if you are resisting arrest. That seems like common sense. " Your odds of staying alive when the mob or gang threatens you is to do as they tell you as well. Your point? To make it clear. I'm pro cop. Correction. I'm pro good cop. I'm anti bad cop. You seem to be of the ilk who believes that cops should be allowed to act like Judge Dredd where their word is law, and they can act in any manner they wish, and then the mess can be sorted out later. Oh, sorry, mam, I'm sorry your husband was killed without cause but hey that sneer on his face when I demanded to take over your home convinced me he was a mass murdering pyscho path whose neck I had to break. because he 'resisted' an unlawful arrest by refusing me entry. My bad... Judge: Give the woman 2million dollars. That'll replace her husband and suspend that rude officer for a month as that will show that justice has been served. that's the kind of world you want to live in. I prefer to live in the world where the situation doesn't occur in the first place. I want my cops to the 'serve and protect' types not the 'harass and bully' types. I don't want the police to be just another gang. I want them to be above that kind of ****. The fact there is even a need for 'internal affairs' is disgusting and the fact that the police seem to loathe them is even more disgusting.

Zod's actor was one of the worst parts of the movie.

I like how people will just arbirtlaly sya so and so is only worth x amount. Why is Clowe worth exactly 3mil and not 5 mil or not 1 mil? What is so special about 3mil? L0LZ Arbitray number is arbitrary number.

"Understandably took exception and struggled a bit is the part that gets me, I don't understand that. If the police are coming at me, I'm going to do my best to not escalate the situation. If it is a case of mistaken identity, it can be cleared up much quicker if I am not struggling." L0L Yeah. Don't struggle whiel they break your neck.. then youc an sue them for unlawful arrest afetrwards.. oh yeah, you can't. Why do you support such evil behavior as arresting and jumping the wrong guy? If the police were faselya rresting me, I wouldn't wait until they broke my neck to say, " please sure don't hurt me bro." L0LZ "I had a cop do the pat down while I'm standing with hands on the hood of his car, thing, once ... in my driveway. But that was because I was stupid. Probably mentioned it before, but ... I saw him on the way home behind me. He didn't have his lights on but he was following, following. I hadn't re-registered my car on-time so I figured he was looking at my tags. I kept driving home (less than half a mile, btw) - he still didn't have his lights on. I was literally like 10 feet from my driveway, already practically in the act of turning the wheel to pull in, when he did put his lights on, and like an idiot I finished pulling into my driveway then got out of my car and faced his car, smiling, waiting, ready for a tag-fixit-ticket. It's habit, y'know? Pull in driveway, get out of car. The (young) cop freaked on me, pulled his gun, screaming why did I pull into this driveway, why'd I get out of the car, dragged me to his car, etc." Whya re you defending his poor behaviour? He obviously wasn't ready to be on the street. That's a cop waiting to shoot someone 'by accident'. He's the idiot here not you. "Getting all indignant towards the guys and gals who are the first people to respond when you call out for help seems wrong." I never called the cops in my life, but if I did, I'd expect them to the job they are paid to do. I wouldn't be needlessly rude to them either since I'm never needlessly rude to anyone. And, oh, cops are rarely the first people to repsond. They usually respond after the fact when it is too late to stop anything. L0L (rudeness is needed on the internet b/c that's the only way internet freaks understand stuff as polite posts are conviently ignored lol).
