And shit, what about that "For the Sake of the Children, We Must Say Goodbye" song? Classic. I'm of the opinion that Nashville makes its OWN authenticity and is such an evocative, brilliant little world in and of itself that I just can't get too worried about what the real city thinks about that movie.

Holy Hand Grenade, women are not allowed coaching at grand slam tournaments. And yeah, she just got a point penalty at a very, very bad time. And she fucking knew better; she's been a pro for at least 10 years and must have known that that shit would get her a penalty.

Scott, there was legit stuff in this thread related to JGD and his wife… how is that related to Ted Kennedy and therefore off-topic? Don't talk about "trimming" the comments, you just deleted the entire thread.

Sugartits, I was planning to read that book, but my mother suggested that I wait about 15 or 20 years (I was about 23 at the time). Was she full of shit?

No, we have his side of the story: he admitted his guilt. He said that the girl's mother had set her up for some casting couch bullshit, so he went into the encounter expecting to get laid. This, of course, in no way excuses his actions, but he did admit he was wrong. His skipping bail had more to do with the judge,…

I know someone who walked down the aisle to the Imperial March from Star Wars.

Puss, I'm still moderately confused, but whatever. And I hadn't realized that he stayed in Germany after his release, so my mistake.

He only spent the early 40's in Germany because he had been taken prisoner by the Nazis. And none of that changes the fact that he was an English author.

LLanley and Arsenio, when I watched Susan Boyle (admittedly I didn't see the clip all the way through, since I hate that fucking song) the audience started shrieking their heads off about three seconds in and I couldn't really tell how well she sang. My impression, though, was that she had a decent voice and no taste…

No, no, not sayin' she's ugly, she's far from it. Just that her natural expression is incredibly vapid and it makes her look silly.

Sugartits, I too can take my eyes off her tits, generally because I am hypnotized by how stupid the expressions on her face are. She is icky to behold. For a prime example, look at the picture on her Wikipedia page.

ZMF, your rants this morning are pretty goddamn funny, but you should remember that we're having trouble taking care of ourselves at the moment, let alone taking over other countries. Further military action should probably wait a few years.

Jesus Christ, douchebags, CC isn't suggesting that these girls be awarded Nobel prizes.

I agree with Chubby. This was one of the most emotionally affecting movies I've ever seen, and I cried openly.

But CrimeFighter isn't her middle name! Her first name is Moxie CrimeFighter. The whole fucking thing.

Well, if you want classic, provocative Haneke, check out the Piano Teacher. It's definitely one that you will probably admire rather than enjoy, though.

Yeah, unmutual, if Susan Boyle is excused as just "British," then what the fuck does genuine British ugly look like?

Shit, as long as they don't make him a zombie.

Ugh
Angie Harmon got engaged on the Tonight Show? That is tacky as fuck.
