seeing as how this is a fake picture of Kanye, that one looks real to me. so, I’m to guess you’re still at a loss for words?
February 5th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
tiger woods is 1,000x the competitor kobe will ever be.
this obviously means that kobe’s “assassin” image is just a mirage. tiger really could care less about other humans…kobe cares enough to tip.

I’ve got a good story about a guy claiming to sleep through being sodomized by another inmate.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
MLJ 2.0? More like MLJ 2.NO! Did Spencer get high and trip over a cord?
February 5th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
irish: Magic trade for Tyronne Lue. Point guard problems solved.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:07 pm

I heart Kate Beckinsale.

Not a good day of copy editing?
February 5th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Guy claimed he was raped, other guy claimed it was consensual, one who claimed he was raped claimed that he was asleep when it happened. I DON’T KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE!
February 5th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
i’m pretty sure kate beckinsale isn’t in that movie.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
thanks Bo and Nick
February 5th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Romo – if you don’t have a copy editor is there ever a good/bad day of copy editing?
February 5th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
my one trip to preakness caused me to lose hope for mankind.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Did LeBron tip the waitress $1,500, but also add a few extra compliments and friendly smiles to top kobe’s performance?
February 5th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
MLJ link is busted. so is the Kanye picture link if there was supposed to be one.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
Sadly, Kate wasn’t in Underworld 3.
Which means there’s no reason for anyone to watch Underworld 3.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Underworld 3 stars the sultry Rhona Mitra. She of Doomsday and Lara Croft fame.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
Rhona Mitra isn’t a bad alternative to Kate.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
whore!
February 5th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
kanye is a douche, so it would not suprise me in the least if that picture is real.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Depends…
/No it doesn’t!

i thought this was Kanye and his Entourage.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
benji, that may have been the douchiest picture ever taken in the history of photography.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
MLJ is back and it’s better than EVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 5th, 2009 at 3:22 pm

February 5th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Kate was in the movie, but not really.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
False!

True that.

oh wow – UC Berkely is teaching a class on The Wire

February 5th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Why the hell would they skip Season 2?
February 5th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Beckinsale doesn’t have a major role in the movie. The plot based on events that happened before her character becomes relevant in the story.
/nerd’d
February 5th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
They’re using old footage of her from the previous two parts of the series.
And I can’t spell.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
First time I saw Kate Beckensdale was in the movie, “Last Days of Disco” I’ve been in love with her ever since.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
Because TBL is teaching it and insisting they watch reruns of The Office instead.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Ha, reading “Clockers” is one of the requirements for that course. Sign me up!
February 5th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
I think Beckinsale looked the best, at least for me, in the Aviator. Absolutely stunning
February 5th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
ill – to be fair, I don’t really give shit. I haven’t seen any of those films and was making a joke. So, when I saw the new Underworld movie on her IMDB resume, I just went for it. Anyone who took issue can feel free to go back to masturbating to Watchmen teaser trailers.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
fuck yea!! more joe buck, who wants to celebrate?
February 5th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
While I don’t masturbate to them, why the hatred for Watchmen? If the movie comes anywhere near the graphic novel it’ll be better than 90% of what will be released in 2009. I mean, I’d probably pay to see Watchmen five times before I’d go see Transshitters 2 for free.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
CRM – Great joke!

February 5th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
maybe b/c nobody from the docks storyline really carried over like carcetti did in 3 or the students did from 4. only the greeks in a small capacity
bsanders you must really hate michael bay.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
What could I have referenced that wouldn’t have offended your tastes, bsanders?
February 5th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Yeah, and everyone knows that if you were going to do it to a comicbook movie trailer, it’d be The Spirit. Duh
February 5th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
nah bsnaders- you might not suspect it but TBL is big time into the wire
February 5th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
When asked to provide his thoughts on the picture, former President Bush responded, “Kayne West doesn’t like straight people”

I loathe the man. Not only do his movies waste considerable amounts of money that could be spent on more useful forms of entertainment, but I had to interview him once and he was a complete sniveling toad. I hope he and Jerry Bruckheimer give each other genital warts. But speaking of bad movies, this is going to be the worst one, maybe ever. Brad Pitt as Billy Beane?
February 5th, 2009 at 3:47 pm

- Wasn’t offended, just curious why you don’t like Watchmen, or if you just hadn’t read it. I’ve yet to come across someone who doesn’t like it who had, so I was interested to hear your take.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Some French film from 1963 I’m sure.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
I haven’t read, but I am excited to see the film. (3/6/09) It was just the first article of nerd porn that came to mind.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
How can anyone possibly hate the man that brought us such classics as Transformers (previously mentioned), Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys II, and my personal favorite, Armaggeddon? Not to mention, what could’ve been…
February 5th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
I’m an unabashed movie snob, though I really only have contempt for Michael Bay. He just keeps doing it. At least guys like Uwe Boll and Renny Harlin have been banished to the straight to DVD purgatory. Though that guy who did both 88 Minutes and Righteous Kill last year should join them any day now…
February 5th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Yeah, and Al Pacino should stop acting too. Browsing through his IMDB, did anyone know they’re making a videogame for Heat?
February 5th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
They already did Grand Theft Auto.
February 5th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Does this mean there’s no porto-john races at Preakness now?
February 5th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
He and DeNiro can both still do it when they work with good directors and good scripts and aren’t just cashing in a paycheck. Angels in America was only like five years ago and he was fantastic in that. DeNiro hasn’t picked a good script in a LONG time. The last good one he came across, he said “fuck it, I’m keeping that shit for myself and directing it.”
February 5th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
I’m with bsanders. I take a huge dump on any movie that doesn’t have subtitles.
February 5th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
I dunno bsanders, the shit that the two of them have been churning out has been pretty bad over the past decade. It’s like an aging superstar quarterback refusing to retire and continues to sully his legacy by mailing it in. Do you know how awful that would look like? Oh wait…
February 5th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
at least all the oblivious people will be able to see Buck is a dolt now.
February 6th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
is that gilbert arenas on the right in the blue vest?
