Rolling CHALLENGING OPINIONS thread 2008

i mean forgive me for stepping in but i think the point he was actually making was there is no such thing as a "tasty way to cook a turkey" because turkey sucks, which is 100% true.

Dark Knight's pretentiousness admittedly dwarfed by its repellent morality (see Armond White's review)

There are a few great moments in Tropic Thunder, but it's no Dodgeball.

^pete scholtes? xp

^^ see, the guy behind the tree is the one pulling strings in that picture

yeah he's really overselling the whole 'innocent bystander' look imo

max fwiw i think table has dug himself pretty deeply into a hole on that thread but i suspect his essential point is that he's bored reading overwritten melodramas about the social lives of people the author doesn't bother to make him care about.

i disagree obv

spoken like a true dubliners stan

just as an fyi to table & others - there are those of us who enjoy a good story about bloated upper middle-class people with problems

Dodgeball was great, and Tropic Thunder isn't quite as good. Pete Scholtes OTM!

I mean, any day you have 2 sandwiches is bound to be a day of insanity. (xp)

James Joyce's brother, Stanislaus, his brother's keeper.

Kevin K.: Pete Scholtes is a damn good music writer who has been around here a for a fuck of a lot longer than you have.

um i think kevin k was agreeing with pete scholtes

I don't actually have anything against you eating 1000 sandwiches per day, j0rdan.

I mean, if you like them go nuts.

Sorry kev, that should have been aimed at j0rdan. Still applies.

My fault, I was reading the thread backwards.

dumb opinion about movies still applies

thanks lib, i don't actually eat that many sandwiches per day but i defend my right to do so

My admitted bald prejudice on the matter is because I am not a regular sandwich eater so it's hard for me to picture regular sandwiching. Not that I mean for the sandwiches to spill over from the corndog fronting bacon thread but it was kinda precarious there anyways.

I will make a sandwich for anyone who wants one, just FYI.

what a bro

no prob rev

it's not that amazing tbh, this list.

yeah im sorry that a list containing SEAL, BRYAN ADAMS, and A BORING MADONNA BALLAD didn't blow my mind this time.

oh and how could i forget michael jackson's 'you are not alone'. golden years, the like of which we'll never see again.

It is a classic opinion sunny and 100% OTM still.

The ironic thing is that every time we see Wall-E (or buy merchandise related to it) the money goes to a corporation called Disney. Eat your cake and have it too.

the worst.

it's not even an eat your cake and have it too situation.

it sort of is because disney then with your money can make even MORE flicks like WALL-E! 8)

If you don't like the simple pleasures of a great pop song, then you should just go back to listening to your hard bop jazz and stfu.

I love it when posts like that diminish pop music or drop it on the bottom end of some stupid dialectic even as they think they're praising it.

isnt that the dude who called that shoegazy pfork hype band 'fucking awesome'

if you don't like the simple pleasures of a great shoegazy pfork hype band song, then you should just go back to listening to Strauss waltzes and stfu.

hahaha
