Be content y'all won something last year[/quote] you ever heard of this quote: A billionaire was asked "how much money is enough?" and he replied "just a little more"

I can't believe Heat beat ATL the Wade factor came into play again he was balling out of control!!

I still think the Heat will win the series. This is the problem with Atlanta they are young and inconsistent. 1 night they look like studs, the next duds.

As for the Hornets, I don't think they ever really had a chance . . . they haven't been playing well leading up to the postseason, I didn't think they could just flip a switch and become who they were last year.

ThiefOfHearts:
Im glad you liked it JeSoul

wasnt the movie score to die for? Ever so often I go to the official website just to listen to Mercedes' humming lullaby

I love it.

make sure you get the other one soon!

Yes it was! Infact as the credits were rolling I was thinking the exact same thing . . . sweet and heavenly.

vescucci:
JeSoul. I like you already with that snide bit about Bond wanting to be Bourne. Also, about Crowe's belly, I dare say, one day Danny Craig will look like Leslie Nielson (not sure about d name though) and I won't even like him as much. Hehe. I patiently await Max in a fitful frenzy, if there's anything like that.

My brotha you are in convo with a Bourniac  I remember being at the theatre for the Identity, when he was on the park bench and the two policemen were questioning him and he suddenly discovered he could fight and do those crazy moves and knocked them out . . . I fell in love 

  Death to Bond! 

  May Bourne Live Forever! 

[quote author=Mad_Max link=topic=173006.msg3764105#msg3764105 date=1240389209]Oh my lawd what doth my eye espieth? Did you just call Daniel Craig, DANIEL CRAIG, a Bourne Wannabe?!!! Does your bleedin' Bourne have the body of a god? Me thinketh not. Does he have the steel, the flash, the look, the cruelty of Craig? In your dreams,baby! Bourne is a wet-behind-the-ears-it's-not-about-saving-the-world-but-saving-my-ass puppy. He's not bad, but he is NOT a man. Craig's 007 is.  They are not in the same galaxy, missy!  [/quote]lol . . . which kin god? Craig is average jare. . . I am willing to bet Vescucci packs more ammo than danny boy  .
I dunno what all the fuss was about him in Casino Royale  I have been looking and I still don't see it 

The actor is need of a kick award is not necessarily for the actor, but the film or tv role you want to kick him for, for being annnoying. Almost all the guys want to kick Tom Welling; they think he's a wuss for taking four seasons to 'get' Lana, and that he's an annoying goody two-shoes.

oh okay in that case add my 6 inch heels to the list of kickers

Someone wanted to kick Straitham for Transporter 3 and wasn't seconded; no one here nominated him, so I couldn't add it.

Statham needs a kick for accepting useless roles like Crank and the Transporter 3 . . . does he not have any hopes and dreams of being taken as a serious actor?

Crowe is still young, and he looked fit in last year's 3.10 to Yuma with Christian Bale. How many years ago was Gladiator and Proof of Life and Meg Ryan's marriage-costing affair with him? Maybe he looked like that on purpose in State of Play?

Maybe. But it was too 'convincing' if you know what I mean.

Congrats to Dwight Howard - defensive player of the year. Now go out and show us against the Sixers.

chiogo:
Ah, that means no second series. . .Rondo, yeah but Allen and Pierce with KG gone too. . .it's over!!

What does it matter? we cannot win the championship like this anyways. Our lines are getting old and a serious injury could be devastating to anything they could do next yr.

bawomolo:
i would keep all my cyanide and tear gas for Thursday.
lets just say it won't be pretty at united center

Didn't your mama teach you not to count ur chickens before they are hatched?

bawomolo:
rajon rondo only pulls that driving nonsense when brad miller is on the court.  Tyrus thomas would put the finishing moves on his knees in chicago  .

Siddon jare. Where ur eyes closed when Rondo drove past Rose on multiple occasions? or was it a blur to you like it was to Rose?
Homeboy managed to get himself a triple double on 1-foot and you are not bowing down for him 

chiogo:
Leon Powe done for the season? how come? Yeah, they tried to kill Rondo yesterday, I was surprised they put him back to play.

Torn ACL or whatever. As far as I'm concerned they should shut everyone down including Pierce and Allen before someone else gets another serious injury, especially Rondo . . . there is no repeat  championship to be had this yr.

bawomolo:
yall need to sharap, one lucky win and jesoul is talking chit

kai, this one don spoil finish! lucky win? See bottom dweller wey scratch and claw enter playoff picture dey open all 32 and talk trash

its not ur fault eh Bawo, it's Rose that I blame. He is giving you false hope for the future of the malus. Don't grasp at the wind brotha, put ur faith in teams like the Cavs and Lakers that we all know will survive even if there were a nuclear holocaust.

my message to tyrus thomas and joakim noah - man up and get rid of that bum call kendrick perkins.

Joker Noah will revert to the midget that he is, ya'll have had good runs, but I now know betta than to jump on a bandwagon that always seems to lose its wheels.

Moonstone:
CP3 and Chauncey Billups are very close off the courts. I hope their friendship did not sabotage the Hornets sha. Whichever way, I'm still proud of my darling Hornets. At least they played well the first half. I just want them to at least get somewhere. That stupid Andersen needs to cool down. He's too aggressive for my liking jare! Even J.R. Smith can annoy me.

There was a special on ABC last season where they showed Paul's home and how he frequently has players on the opposing team over as guests but yet when it gets to game time he rips them to shreds    I doubt he'll have any trouble going nose to nose with Billups.

 
 @ all concerned and tired Celtics fans, supporters & haters,

Leon Powe is done for the season, torn ACL.    Rondo has a sprained foot but is expected to play in game 3. I no know which kin juju Lailai and co employed this yr but it has worked to the nth degree

chiogo:
LOL, if you told that to my brother, he won't even hear it. yesterday, he was talking about how Celtics have no excuse for playing badly just because KG is injured, one of their(Bulls') power forwards(I forgot his name) is also injured so it's basically equal. unless u wanna count Scalabrine.

the loss of KG is equal to the loss of the entire Bulls backcourt Tell ur bro he's got it mad twisted. Its true they're playing without fire and passion and there's no excuse for that but really with all the injuries and downtime, I don't blame them. You have to go into the postseason with momentum and cohesiveness - neither of which we had.

chiogo:
Chei, I never seen you talk like this, lmao. They don't only have Rose ooh; Gordon, Hinrich, Joakim Noah(uggh, just his face is annoying). But yeah, do you think they're gonna play us out of the series? I don't even know. shit's crazy, baby.

lol . . . o jare I was just tired of everyone all of a sudden talking 'bout how 'good' the Bulls are . . . everyone suddenly has amnesia of how 'good' the Bulls were supposed to have been 4 yrs and counting now and how 'good' they were during the reg season. Just cos they have been able to stand head to head with the wounded and shorthanded Celtics does not mean jack.
Where's Bawo to defend his precious malus (thanks A-40 )

    They match up extremely well with our guards which is why we're having trouble. The playoffs sometimes is all about match-ups. I will not even be suprised if they beat the Celtics as we lack motivation and passion right now and the Bulls are showing they really want this more . . . but I will fall short of anointing them a 'contender' and call them the pretenders that they are until they prove otherwise and shut me up. 

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=148652.msg3761962#msg3761962 date=1240336710]Have you forgotten Reggie Miller's playoff wars with M.J back in the days so soon? Conference finals losses to the Pistons and Knicks how they used to whoop your Celts come playoff time? heck they did it back to back[/quote]I have forgotten jare   either be relevant or move aside    

Where the Sixers a wonder last year? don't forget they have picked up a game against the Magic on the road already

They showed incredible promise. Only to look like JV-leaguers atimes this yr, no consistency whatsoever. The Sixers also stole game 1 from the Lakers in LA in the finals a buncha yrs ago . . . the magic will shape up and handle their bizniz.

We where 32-9 at home in the regular season that is a far from average home record we would pick at least one game if not both

oh I owe you an apology, I had ur record mixed up with another and I don't recollect ur record being so solid   my bad . . . anyways I also expect it to be a split but its anyone's series . . . the Spurs themselves are skittish. good today, suck tomorrow.

Yo Karma I saw Pan's Lab and it was charming in a most unusual way  I liked it and the end was quite fitting, nicely done. They managed to include some grit along with the fantasy and genuine moments of             The acting was pretty tight too, she's a promising young talent and I hope she gets more roles and better exposure.
I'm working on Curse of the golden flower, will report back when its mission accomplished.


@all
  Anyone see State of Play? don't or rather wait for dvd. It had so much promise and so many directions the writers could have taken the storyline but they settled for the most cliched one  however the movie does have genuine moments of suspense and creativity.

  and a slightly-pot bellied, scruffy, unshaven, run-down looking Russel Crowe made me long for his days of Gladiator    the glory of man doth fade so quickly . . .

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=148652.msg3761358#msg3761358 date=1240330022]You can like to scratch the Pacers off that list they have been an unlucky franchise and where contenders till Reggie Miller retired[/quote]Nah i'ma leave the Pacers right there . . . they had a good run few yrs ago only to return reincarnated as scrubs the next yr _{but i guess that whole Artest fiasco was mostly to blame but still} Even same for the Bulls when they had that great season, acquired Ben Wallace who was supposed to put them over the hill, I forget now if they even made the playoffs.

I'm now leary of 1-2 season wonders who return the following season worse off for no apparent or solid reason. Case in point this yr, the Hornets and the Sixers 

   

Don't mind my Mavs Mami they just went to bed and simply allowed Parker and co. to run riot i am happy we achieved our objective which was to win one game in San Antonio as it was always going to be difficult to win both games, all that matters now is for us to try and win both games in Dallas if we do that the series is a wrap!!

I hate to rain on ur parade but somehow I don't see the Mavs holding home court, they haven't been particularly impressive this yr.

Big Baby Davis seems to have a decent mid-range J or where my eyes deceiving me yesterday and also someone needs to tell K.G not to wear those rocks on his ears around me because i would snatch both his ears and the studs if i have to

Your eyes were certainly not deceiving you. He's been doing it all season, and when they don't fall he makes up for it by hustling for rebounds and deflections. What he lacks in talent he almost makes up for in effort.

vescucci:
Edit wetin. Max is crazy in love with Daniel Craig. The bloke can do no evil in her eyes. You better not aggravate her or she'll throw in Defiance for the hell of it.

lol . . . that explains a lot

But for real, I was disappointed after watching QOS . . . what a Bourne wannabe.

See liver on display . . . anyways kudos to the bulls for playing nose to nose with the def champs . . .
too bad they are who they are and they will go right back to sucking and being irrelevant next season Rose or no Rose 1 or 2 great games or playoff series does not make you a contender - just ask the Pacers, Wizards and Sixers.

and mad props to Mike Brown coach of the yr, he def deserved it after the fantastic season the Cavs have had. The only thing left is to cop that ring.

A-40 e pele oh the mavs didn't show up for game 2.

my sister I dey try jare . . . I can't 100% gaurantee Eddie will be left out but I go try sha  

and I agree these nominees are sketchy . . . the heck is that useless Quantum of Solace doing in the best picture category? Mad fix that one too oh!     

I have been kicking it behind the scenes enjoying all the dissection going on by you experts until Mad put Tom Welling in the 'kick in the g award'    you berra edit that quick quick or else   

since I'm here I shall submit my entry

why is Jason Statham not in this category?

anyone watching the bore of a game 'tween the Hawks and the Heat Cold?
Moonstone, hope your hornets game is more entertaining  _{no work 2moro} so I have all night to enjoy some good quality bball  

  Not suprised either the Magic lost . . . close game and they did throw it away but anyone can lose a game at home to a much lesser opponent. Now, if the Magic (and Celtics) lose game 2 as well then its time to really panic. But yeah the playoffs are much more intresting this way when it doesn't go according to script anyways . . .

Looks like I've been missing all the fun 

What happened to the Celts?Jesoul,Chi-chi any explanation

I wasn't too suprised the Celtics lost . . . they didn't really have any momentum coming from the reg season. But they will still win the series despite a very impressive showing by Rose in the opener.
  and Chiogo you're absolutely right about ur analysis on Allen . . . both he and Pierce looked rusty and missed a ton of open/makeable shots.

Moonstone,

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=148652.msg3750078#msg3750078 date=1240110893]Nice game Los Mavs! The much important road win was accomplished hopefully we can win game 2 as well.I have to give Josh Howard props he can be one of the best in the game when he is not smoking weed or cess i also got to shoutout our Puerto Rican CP3 he held it down in the 4TH quarter heck even Dampier did his bit
Inexperience is screwing Portland up ooh the Rockets are 70% on FG's even Mutombo is out rebounding the Blazers[/quote]and kudos to the Mavs on the win . . . A-40 must be very proud 

chiogo:
Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!! It's over, jesoul. KG won't be playing again this season.

men let me add to those 'frownies'        looks like all the bad belle and hatorade has finally caught up with us        I can see Orlando and Cleveland thanking their respective babalawos     oh well I hope Pierce can carry us to at least the EC finals.
  _{however I am currently comforted by the spanking the Indians gave those evil Yanks in their new stadium debut} 


Mr & Mrs. A-40,
    I'll be accepting apologies you peeps will be making to the east in the near future - mark dem words.


Moonstone,
  my dear leave Bawo and his delusions    reality will soon give him a rude awakening. 

Anyways, I hope we see upsets these playoffs . . . where's Doyin who predicted a 2nd rd exit for the Cavs?

bawomolo:
with or without KG, we can easily win 2-3 games in the series. The Celtics are beatable especially away from home. The series to watch is the rockets vs portland. The Series in the west would be interesting.

. . . walahi see as this yeye boy don get mouth, cos una land ROY? Words like the highlighted above makes me wonder what they're putting in the air and water in Chicago.

Moonstone:
Girl - I'm quiet for a good reason. . .

lol . . . say no more sista  

 I am rooting for upsets this playoff season  _{as long as its doesn't involve beantown}

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=148652.msg3738661#msg3738661 date=1239898639]Celtics vs Malus Bulls - Now i would hate to make bawo happy here but i see the Bulls picking 2 games in this series they would still lose to the Celts though but they are not going to be swept
Prediction: 4-2 (Celtics)[/quote]Solid. While I'd like to see Bawos cows get swept, they'll likely pick up a game or two on the Celtics esp without the #1 player terrorizing would-be drivers/slashers into the lane.

WEST Where real basketball happens

My dear update that quote quick quick . . . that may have been true last year but this year the East is beast - look up the record playa  

. . . its so quiet in here . . . 2 days before the playoffs?

So the draws are all set in stone:

EAST:

Cleveland vs Detroit - I'll say a prayer for Detroit, this is going to be ugly.

Boston vs Chicago - Celtics will probably be without KG for the 1st round but they should win this series.

Atlanta vs Miami - Based solely on the Wade factor, I think Miami might win this one

Orlando vs Philly - I don't see any upset here


WEST:

Lakers vs Utah - Dallas dogded more than just a bullet, I shall also keep Utah in my prayers

Denver vs New Orleans - Sorry Moonstone, I wish I could pick the Hornets but I don't think they can beat Denver in a 7gamer.

San Antonio vs Dallas - I default to the Spurs but minus Ginobili, I wouldn't be suprised if Dallas beats them

Portland vs Houston - I'm rooting for the young portland studs to do some playoff damage

chiogo:
Hey, where's my buddy, jesoul? I feel lonely in here with all these. . . uh, just kidding.

I dey o my sister all the naysayers will be put to shame we can only hope KG is poised for a monster comeback or else

iice:

I haven't seen Traitor. Why didn't you like him?[/quote]I don't think he ever quite connected with the audience.

There was no true moment of relativity in my opinion. And while the plot was somewhat clever, it is unmistakable that the main motive of the writer and producer was to exonerate islam from the terrorism label and portray them as the victim. And not that there's anything wrong with such an undertaking, but it was like going to a gun fight with a plastic knife. It started out promising but it just didn't work. And it just sort of limped its way to the end without truly addressing the very questions it raises.

  Many people I've asked thot it was cool but it just didn't do much for me.

Moonstone:
Shaq and J. Kidd in the same team? Are they trying to have a senior team in the NBA or what?

LOL . . . only in Dallas would that be possible! lol

bawomolo:
someone besides moonshinestone thought the hornets were a contender

Hush jare. Did you not see what they were able to do last yr with less talent on the roster?

The same team my bulls swept twice in one season

These baby bulls of whom you speak of will soon be joining their fellow under acheiving brethren in Wrigley Field

I've seen everything on your list except the Chocolate Factory original. How did you feel when Goodfellas didn't win that Best Picture oscar? Isn't that movie just fantastic?[/quote]The Oscars should be putting out yearly recalls on movies that should not have won, retrieving their silverware and apologizing to movies that should have taken home the bling. They will never be forgiven for Shawshank until they repent.

I'm guessing DiCaprio's performance nailed Blood Diamond for you? Or is it Djimon Hounsou?

I thot they were both solid and all the extras and lesser roles were all very good too. I was suprised at how well DiCap got the accent down too. But yeah I love movies that educate and leave me thinking and a different person from before I watched it.

   . . . but I make exceptions for raw, totally worthless guilty pleasure trips like Norbit    
 

8 year old Haley's performance in the Sixth Sense was just unbelievable. That boy should have won that oscar.

Nodding . . . I agree. Here's a thot - lets jack the scrub aka Jamie Foxx of his hardware and give it to Haley
