You clearly have never seen "Bring it On", which is by far the best cheerleading competition movie ever. Dunst stars as the cheer captain. Plus there's a locker room scene.

And have I mentioned the locker room scene?

There are other (non-porn) cheerleading competition movies??

how do I get free realplayer??

Spree: MALIBU, Calif. — Actor Adam Sandler wed Jackie Titone on Sunday in an outdoor ceremony that was attended by celebrity friends and his pet bulldog dressed in a custom tuxedo.

"Sandler got married," the comic's Web site said. "Woopity Doo!" No other details were immediately available.


I can't help it, I like this guy and find most of his movies funny in a silly "I don't have to think about it too much" kinda way.
:grinning:

If you go to his website there are some nice photos. I am not very fashion-savvy but I like her dress.

The Hulk sucked. Too much talking, not enough of the Hulk smashing stuff. Even with all of the ECUs of the lovely Jennifer Connelly, I could barely stay awake. If the Hulk would have just kicked ass and smashed stuff for the whole movie it would have been cool.

Ah, but "Working Girl" redeems all of Melanie's bad movies. It's been on cable recently, and it was great to see it again. Maybe it's just the ethnic prole in me, but I love the whole "girl from the B&T cubicle working crowd succeeding via hard work and pluck" schick. Whatever crap she has done before or after, Melanie did a stellar job as Tess.

Apropos of nothing, how could the bozos who made a movie out of "The Bonfire of the Vanities" have created such a clusterfuck out of Wolfe's amazing story of Wall Street in the 1980s? Incredible. That was a truly awful movie -- casting decisions may have been the whipped cream on the cake of badness. I mean, Tom Hanks as Sherman McCloy? Jesus! Bruce Willis as the British reporter? And, yes, Melanie Griffith as the mistress? Arg!

Could we have a rule that since we're not talking about them when they happen, that they aren't to be talked about at all? The only thing more boring that people talking about tennis is people talking about old tennis. If there are things other than match play being discussed (e.g. people's clothing) that won't suffer from aging.







Just to preempt, "Paigow, I know that I add nothing to the discussion of anything and people don't care about my opinions or non-opinions because I add nothing, but I'm still going to post this."

Bobby,

Yep, Bonfire was a casting disaster. But there were some diamonds in the rough. Morgan Freemen played a perfect judge and the cat who played Al Sharpton was appropriately ugly and offensive. And F. Murray Abraham played a good sleazy DA. Oh, and the cat who plays Sherman's dad is great as well. Thate scene where he says "Well, Sherman, I've always believed in telling the truth, but if the truth won't set you free, lie." That little nugget might explain the morality of upwardly mobile America better than any piece of cinema in history.

In light of the current corporate prosecution mania, that book is ripe for a remake.

S(oh, and fuck Updike and Mailer for saying Wolfe sucks. Updike's a bore and Mailer went OTH 30 years ago)D

I totally thought that was Phillip Seyjour Hoffman which isnt surprising givent that the first time I saw Eddie Izzard, I thought he was Phillip SEymour Hoffman in drag with a british accent. I would say he was miscast as he was not remotely attractive and seemed way too old for Kirsten Dunst.

He was playing Charlie Chaplin. That he was "movie ugly" and too old for her was kinda the point. He was brilliant in showing how she could have found him attractive, though she was the mistress of the richest man in the world.

Anyway, I like Kirsten Dunst. Bring it On was a very fun movie (and I love the dude from Upright Comedy Brigade as the "spirit fingers" coach) and I also liked her in Crazy/Beautiful.

1. Hot women have way more in common with most gay male men than straight men;

Why? B/c they both like penises and watching Sex and the City? That is no basis for a solid relationship.

2. Gay men tend to be better dressers and more attractive (or at least more put together) than most of their straight male counterparts;

With the exception of a certain Seattle metrosexual and his intellecutal heirs, I guess. I would put Pony Trekker and his Hickey Freemans up against most of the Christopher Street crowd in a fashion show down.

3. Gay men are generally better dancers; and

With the exception of a certain box bitch, I guess.

4. Gay men like shopping more than straight men.*

Really? Who started--and replied--to all the Sample Sale posts on the old board?

Now, in light of the above, if all gay men suddenly went straight, they'd steal all the attractive women.

WHy do you assume they would act that way if they were straight? Men are much more superficial when it comes to looks than women. Maybe gay men are also superficial when it comes to looks so they have to work out and dress nicely b/c--just like in the straight world--they are primarily concerned with looks, not personality or witty conversation.

There is a sports board. I'm not quite sure why the fashion board is a better location to discuss tennis.

Except for Venus's outfit:

On that note, I will refrain from discussing the NHL draft that took place over the weekend (hey, I enjoyed it but what the fuck do I know from boring?). I also wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone who taped it to watch later.

I watched a little of it too. But I too will refrain from posting in depth about that "other" Fleury etc. Would not want to spoil anyone's fun.

How about people talking about a boxing match?

I couldn't watch the last two rounds of the Lewis-Klitschko match on Saturday night. The gore factor was just too high.

Klitschko certainly proved that he has heart. Both fighters proved that you need more than two weeks to prepare for a fight in order to have some strategy going in. The fight resembled a bar brawl more than a boxing match.

That said, we'll get Lewis-Klitchko II on ppv whenever they decide to air it (and whenever Vitaly's face is healed from the gashes he received from Lennox's left).

Did anyone see the Tyson match?? http://www.wsbtv.com/sports/2286821/detail.html

My favorite little tid-bit "The two men were charged with misdemeanor charges of menacing and harassment."

I gotta ask, what kinda numb-ass fucks with Tyson? I don't care how many buddies you have to back you up -- I would not fuck around with Tyson.
