Are you not aware of the Christian theme of LOTR?



You are confusing LOTR with Chronicles of Narnia dude. The whole universe of LOTR was created because Tolkein created an entire elvish language and needed a place to put it. Of course there are WW2 metaphors all over the place given the time period in which they were written, but you are severely overstating the influence of religion on the entire saga that Tolkein created.
At this point, you could tell me that Hernandez killed Jonbenet Ramsey and Nicole Brown Simpson and I'd believe it.

Jerry Rice had the greatest career by any receiver, but Calvin Johnson is the most talented receiver of all time. No real discussion needed.

Well they walked right in the backdoor and he didn't notice.
That was such a horseshite call. Craig slid into third and the ball was thrown off the bag. What the hell was Middlebrooks suppose to do? Let the ball go by without attempting to snag it? Crawl out of the way when he was on the ground?

frick that ump and everyone defending that bullshite call :doublebird:
So which website would fix it the best? I've looked at GopherMods and PS3repairshop so far. How are they about fixing it? I looked into fixing it myself, but I'd probably just make it blow up and I'm not getting a PS4 until next Summer.

Also, my GTAV 5 disc is in there so no matter what, this thing is getting fixed. TIA for all help/advice.
Don't hate the truth bruh :cheers:

I already know the mid credit scene for Thor 2 and how it relates to future Marvel movies :pimp:
If you consider superhero movies to be action movies than both Man of Steel and The Avengers were better than both and this is from someone who watches T2 to completion every time I click on it on tv.
That call was horseshite. What the hell do you want Middlebrooks to do? Crawl over out of the way? His feet weren't in the basepath. fricking screwjob plain and simple. Jim Joyce needs to frick off from everything.

I know for a fact that this isn't true. Avatar opened to over $70 million and dropped less than 2% in its second week. Go to Boxofficemojo if you don't believe me.

All 3 Toy Story movies for starters.

I am acknowledging the SEC is down this year


Based on what? Outside of the Georgia game at Clemson (ACC officials for an ACC team in a OOC game in an ACC stadium), our conference has been beating itself.

Florida did lose to Miami, but last I checked they are undefeated.

We win by at least 10.

Life must suck having a tiny dick
I haven't seen this movie (not interested in the least, but curious about the chatter about it) and have been reading most of this thread. Have to address this though:

quote:


* Have a 98 percent Rotten Tomatoes score
* Be considered a lock for a Best Picture nomination
* Have an opening weekend box office (which was a record for October) drop of only 21 percent (which is another record)


There are dozens of movies that have a RT score of 98 or better and few of them are really that great. A better telling of the quality for movies would be their average score, not the percent who liked it. Keep in mind that that's 98% of roughly 150 people who like it. These are just people who get to see a lot of movies for free and a lot of them are cynics who just like to hear themselves talk (or read what they type).

As for the Best Picture Nomination, when Les Miserables can be nominated for your award, then it doesn't mean much to me. Especially with how voting is done with the Academy and the make up of who votes in the Academy. I use to place a lot of stock into their opinions, until I learned who "they" are and why "they" vote the way they do.

I don't believe your number for lowest drop is accurate considering some movies have actually had an increase from first weekend to next and that's not jut limited releases going to wide releases.

So I finally rewatched the end of IM3 and I'm pretty sure I've nailed down the villain of CA:TWS (other than Bucky obviously).

No defense or running game? Are you serious? What NFL are you watching?
