It wasn't really about hazing, by their own account the simple and stupid truth is that all of them wanted their contribution to be as loud as possible. Newstead being the new kid meant he had no say, and producer Rasmussen had no authority. After realizing how bad the album sounded as a result of their idiocy they…

It is.

They also saw the law of diminishing returns setting in with Justice. They definitely needed to do something to shake things up. I do wish they went in a more interesting direction though.

I'm not a big defender of the album, but I couldn't care less if a band I like gets popular to the point of teenage girls being into it. Good for them.

Not soon enough.

I guess this makes me a creep, but here you go (very, very NSFW): http://s00.yaplakal.com/pic…

In LA they do.

That's sort of what happened with The Dark Knight though. Nolan got to do the screenplay with his brother, relegating Goyer to share a "story by" credit with him, and he got to fully realize his rather radical vision of a Batman movie.

“Do you know what a Lego is? What about Batman?”

My ex-girlfriend was raped by two guys she knew, and when she finally told her friends most of them accused her of making it up because she waited so long to say it. It has greatly contributed to her emotional trauma that still goes on today, 17 years later.

The judge's comments back in '93 did not reflect well on Allen: He "demonstrated an inability to understand the impact his words and deeds have upon the emotional well-being of his children" and "It is unclear whether Allen will ever develop the insight and judgement necessary for him to relate to Dylan…

Dante always meant for the speech to straddle the line between bleak and hilarious. He fought very hard to get to keep it in because he felt it embodied the spirit of the film.

I think it's possible many people in the audience for these things are tourists and they simply didn't know what was going on.

I guess I'll have to buy a couple of those sooner or later, if only to be able to play the proper version of Yoshi's Island. Believe it or not, Nintendo does not have the rights to use the SFX chips anymore (it was developed by someone called Argonaut Games), so the version available on the Virtual Console is actually…

Because they were done by Jim Henson. He was gone by the time the sequel went into production.

That's what you get for interacting with the Welsh. Like John Cleese says, they were only put on this earth to carry out menial tasks for the English.

It's a shame that, as with many old licensed games, rights issues prevents it from being legally available, and that the remake was godawful. At least I hear the Ducktales remake was acceptably good.

My point was that regardless of origin it makes more sense that the current iteration that actually entails kicking a ball around is called football, especially as basically the entire world except the US agrees.

To quote my favorite Swedish cartoonist: far from all football fans are idiots, but all idiots are football fans.

Said explanation from Curb pretty much covers why that might not be a good idea.
