Subject: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: The Critic [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 00:25:11 04/18/02 Thu My alarm clock has only read the correct time for a very short period after I bought it. There was a storm, the power went out, it was off by a few hours, and I just adjusted to whatever the difference was(my clock says it's 4pm, that means it's 7pm, etc.), and I've never changed it for daylight savings time. Laziness is a beautiful thing. On the rare occasion that I'm watching television, I get too damn lazy to change the channel after the show I want to watch is over. So I find myself watching back-to-back episodes of Saved by the Bell and A Different World, my mind so dullened I can only make vague comments to myself that "A Different World" is quite the ironic title. A DIFFERENT WORLD IS, LIKE, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM SAVED BY THE BELL DUDE. ZACK MORRIS SURFS: BLACK PEOPLE DONT SURF. Failing that, I often find myself sitting on the computer reading about how lazy some guy is, YOU FUCKING LOSERS. The other day, I was watching The Mummy Returns on TNN, and to my unfortunate luck "Men of Honor" happened to be on afterward. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Men Of Honor Author: The Critic [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 00:27:28 04/18/02 Thu Now, I'm not racist or anything, but there was an African-American who was the first to do EVERYTHING. I understand that, the entire world understands that, we don't need to be informed that sometime, some place, an African-American used a pair of left-handed scissors for the first time in history. I can fully appreciate movies about Malcom X, or Reggie Jackson, movies about milestone-setting African-American's. Men who stood up against racism and opression, and followed thier dreams, TALLY HO! My patience tends to wear when a movie about the first black man to wear velcro shoes or spandex comes out, when you can just smell the blatant Hollywoodization of the story. Which happens in any movie "based" on a true story of course, but it's almost like they've become their own genre: quick, find out who the first homeless person of color to piss in this alley was, call Morgan Freeman: we'll tack on an overexaggerated life-story. The Academy eats this shit up. Perhaps I wouldn't care so much if the movie was good, but Men of Honor, the story of the first African American US Naval diver, was going nowhere right from the start

[> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: nason [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:21:15 04/18/02 Thu The majority of racest people in this country are probably Aferican Americans. They seem to always seperate themselves from the rest of the country. Infact I ran into one in Bham that went on and on about how the whites deserved Sept 11 like he was not a US citizen or soemthing. The funny thing was this guy was yelling at OJ about "acting white" because he doesnt talk like them. OJ is one of the few who was actually raised like a normal person in a normal household (I guess?). Anyway, I just dont understand why they want to be so different from us. On another note... Dave Matthews was from South Africa... On a form where it asks what race you are... could he put "African American"?

[> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: Really Now [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:08:30 04/18/02 Thu I like that movie Men of Honor. You talk about how african american's have all the "first" doing something movies. What about the white folks. Shit there's more white shitty stupid dumbass movies out. Damn my piece is said, not well but i have said enuff to get a reply.

[> [> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: The Critic [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:50:35 04/18/02 Thu Stupidity comes in assortment of colors hence the movie bio-dome. If there's one movie that should put the final nail in Pauly Shore's career coffin, Bio-Dome is it. If any executive from any studio agrees to finance another Shore vehicle after seeing Bio-Dome, there will be no remaining dignity in the film business. However, I have enough faith in the common decency of humanity to think no single person on the planet liked this movie. What is there to like about it?

[> [> [> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: Really Now [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:04:04 04/18/02 Thu I think Bio-Dome is a great movie. There is this one movie(can't think of the name right now but if you know it tell me) It's about these retards falling in love. I mean shit who wants to rent a movie and watch actors pretend there retards an do such a fuckin great job you can't even understand what there saying. They should have captions on that movie or a translater or something. That movie is the meaning of Stupidity.

[> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: hmm [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:16:53 04/18/02 Thu I thought that movie was sweet and makes a big statement about how our society expects the mentally and physically handicapped to remain asexual when they have the same needs as "normal" people.

[> [> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: Really Now [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:18:52 04/18/02 Thu Yeah it does make a statement just like all the African American movies do.

[> [> Subject: Re: Johnney Depp is Hot? How about Britney Spears Author: The Critic [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:23:50 04/18/02 Thu I laughed. I cried. And that was just the preview! When I first realized yet another "singer" was attempting acting...I bawled my eyes out. When I heard it was Britney, I laughed. When I heard the plot, I almost cried, but instead laughed. I had the pleasure/torture of watching Britney Spears' Crossroads. I will refer to the title as Britney Spears' Crossroads because everything in this movie orbits around Britney. Britney is the sun in this universe, and everything else is incidental. Besides ten minute long cameos by Dan Aykroyd as Britney's dad and Kim Cattrall as her mom (musta been some hard liquor involved there), every other actor is a nobody who'll probably be a nobody after this film is released. the upside of the movie was the gratuitous dancing in the underwear scenes wonderfully provided by none other than Britney Spears herself. The movie could have definatly used more of that if not the whole movie, with her driving to Los Angeles in her underwear. But definatley not enough T&A to quench horomone driven pre-pubecent teens looking to see some boobage

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Six Posts of Seperation (this one is number 5) Author: The Critic [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:54:48 04/18/02 Thu Wiping the tears from my eyes from the movie i couldnt help but fidget with my friends power windows as i began to play "window-goes-up, window-goes-down, window-goes-up, window-goes-down, window-goes-up..." so forth and so on.... then i began to wonder besides what was on my mind at the moment (britney spears in underwear) What is it about HUMAN NATURE, where we have to replace EVERY LITTLE PHYSICAL ACTION with CONVENIENCE? When we have developed a TREADMILL to the FRONT DOOR and an automatic WIFE-FUCKING-AND-BEER-DRINKING machine, will we be CONTENT? When do we finally stop throwing MONEY at PHYSICAL LABOUR? Top ten reasons why POWER WINDOWS on cars SUCK: 1)They don't work when the engine is off. 2)They cost more. 3)They are more likely to break than your arm. 4)They weigh cars down with more unnecessary crap. 5)They give the driver a sense of power, with thedriver's stupid fucking MASTER CONTROL PANEL. 6)They feature heavily in bad 80s movies, usually accompanied by drivers with mullets and aviator sunglasses. 7)They make stupid sounds. 8)Passengers always remember to shut their windows AFTER the engine has been turned off. 9)They encourage kids to play "window-goes-up, window-goes-down, window-goes-up, window-goes-down, window-goes-up..." muahahaha 10)They contribute to a growing proportion of fat-gutted, middle-aged, balding white-collar commuters with weak biceps who can't travel 200 metres down the FUCKING STREET at lunch-time without taking their stupid FUCKING FORDS. Lazy people sicken me (see first post) they all should be shot and and made to watch save by the bell back to back...

In a few words, IT WOULD FUCKING ROCK. Why do lazy people sicken you by the way? If there is a way to avoid doing something you don't like to do, why not avoid it?

[> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: Really Now [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 00:10:10 04/19/02 Fri I watched Kids earlier tonight and that just made me think, that's probably one of the most fucked up movies I have seen, besides Gummo and Julian DonkeyBoy. But there great flicks and I enjoy them. But just speaking I mean you say shit about African American based movies who really here wants to see a kid spread around Aids and fuck all the virgins he can? Gummo it was just great, I can't begin to diss this great movie. Julian DonkeyBoy is one fucked up movie I suggest if you haven't seen it you must. And again on the movie "The other sister" that was a good movie don't get me wrong. I thought it was very "cute" when they dresses up she was a "swan" I forgot what he was I think he was a "dog" which portrays most men.

[> [> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: The Crititc [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:26:02 04/19/02 Fri Ill give you a hint jesse, this may blow my cover but i dont give a shit We use the chub rating system to rate how good a movie is, for example Men Of Honor received no chubs from me as well as Bio-Dome But movies like American Beauty, A Beautiful Mind, and the illicit underage porn of Traci Lords gets a full chub... Yeap now you know who i am......

[> [> [> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: Jesse [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:50:14 04/19/02 Fri Um, Mr. Critic. I liked Men of Honor. So what if it's a dramatization to this guys life. C'mon, it's Deniro faking to be a redneck. Shit like that doesn't happen every day, right?

[> [> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: Really Now [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:49:13 04/19/02 Fri I think all Kevin Smith movies are great. Has anyone seen Meet the Deedles? That is one of the worst movies i've seen in my life. OH an Breakfast Of Champions, my lord that is the worst film Bruce Willis is in. But then again it's a pretty decent film, he has a pill popping wife an Nick Notle is in there as a crossdressing sales manager. OH well shed your comments now.

[> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: Really Now [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 03:44:00 04/20/02 Sat Riding in Cars with Boys (everyone should appreciate Drew Barrymore's work) Lord Of The Rings Jay and Silent Bob Fast and the Furious 10 Things I hate About You Office Space American History X ( a fucking great movie) Dazed and Confused The 60's Save the Last Dance Here's just a couple of movies I wouldn't mind having your comments on.

[> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: justin [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:38:42 04/20/02 Sat ok jay and silent bob movies are good cept the one that mainly focuses on them jay and silent bob strike back which had no fukin kind of plot line just stupidity reminded me of dude wheres my car which blowed donkey dick after watching it more then once those motherfuckers are the reason stonners get a bad name cause of the dumbass antics that arent even funny in any sort of way unlsss you like stupid humor dumb and dumber is way better as far as stupid humor or sputh park well you have to think maybe just a lil bit in southpark to get all the jokes but neways

[> [> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: Really Now [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:21:28 04/20/02 Sat Dude, Where's my car- was the shittiest movie. The guy from the that 70's Show and the guy from American Pie did a great job of me disliking that movie. SouthPark is great, that's all you can say about that now. Four Rooms is a great movie. I think everyone will agree on that or at least should. "O" was a good but shitty movie. I just watch Something About Mary (again) That's a great flick too. But odd in ways which I shall not explain for the sake that it shall be long and boring. "IT"!! You most love all Stephen King Movies.

[> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: ::::::::ERIC:::::::: [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02:07:58 04/21/02 Sun Kids was a breath of fresh air for me, It was raw and in your face. It wasnt an oversized hollywood production that made me wonder the validity of the story and realism of each situation, especially the main issue that it dealt with pertaining to AIDS. The kids in that movie were so obnoxious and violent that it almost made me forget i was watching a movie and it felt as though I was watching a documentary. Feeling as though i was sitting right there watching these pre-pubecent kids pass a joint around or realizing the growing disease epidemic that is spreading like wildfire but in a silence in which people do not realize that it is out there and it is closer to home than you think. I have a question for all of you right now...If you guys found out i had AIDS tommorow would you guys treat me any different? be honest. would there be any sense of sympathy, disgust, or sensitivity on the issue? would you guys confront me about it or would you ignore the fact and continue living your life the way you did when i was around you? Heres another, suppose i was cut one day doing some sort of laborous activity and i was around you, how would you react to the wound? These questions are directed at noone in particular and was written just to remind people that it does exsist and that it is not an issue to be taken lightly

[> [> Subject: Re: This is going somewhere trust me in fact check the next thread Author: ::::::::ERIC:::::::: [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 03:18:21 04/21/02 Sun In the United States, there are about 800,000 to 900,000 people who are HIV-positive. Over 300,000 people are living with AIDS. Each year, there are about 40,000 new infections. In the mid-1990s, AIDS was a leading cause of death. However, newer treatments have cut the AIDS death rate significantly. ::::::::ERIC::::::::
