This was a big hit on the Lakers board so i decided i should bring it here...
This is a place where us Cardinals fans can get to know each other outside of baseball. I know theres only a few here right now, but we gotta start somewhere.
...so i'll guess i'll start w/ sayin that I saw the movie "Blood Diamond" the other day. It was a much better than movie than i expected. I actually find most Leo Dicaprio movies to be pretty good. (non homo) lol

What's "Blood Diamond" about? I might want to check it out. I can live with Di Caprio if there is also a hot-looking actress or two in the supporting cast.
I haven't seen any movies recently that I was too excited about. I've spent more time recently reading than movie-watching. Hey, I'm a nerd. I read lots of history. I'm in the middle of a book about guerrilla warfare in Missouri during the Civil War. Missouri was a complete hellhole--divided allegiances, no front lines, no rational or consistent plan of action, just neighbors killing neighbors, plus everyone hating the outsiders sent in to restore order (primarily Union troops, although Confederate outsiders would have been equally hated if the South had been in any position to station regular troops here). Hard not to draw parallels with the situation today in Iraq. Don't worry though, it's safe enough these days for you "foreigners" to come to St. Louis for a Cardinals game. I haven't run across any bushwackers or jayhawkers in ages.

lol actually almost the complete opposite...
I live in Beaufort, South Carolina. Right on the water lol
I've just always been a Lakers fan since early childhood, as well as Cardinals.
Became a Rams fan because they kind of tie in w/ the 2. LA Lakers = LA RAMS.....St Louis = obvious reasons.
but i've always stuck w/ these teams and dont intend on changing.

That's funny, you don't write with a Southern accent.
I looked up Beaufort in the atlas...looks like my kind of locale. Man, I envy you. I really wish Missouri would get itself an ocean shore. I keep hoping that plate tectonics will bury Kansas and its loathsome basketball program deep within the Earth's mantle and cause a nice ocean to take their place, but so far no such luck.

Yeah its a great locale if you like to be isolated to do ur own thing. (which i do)
Only problem is I have to travel 5 hours at the least to go see a professional sporting event. But yes it is nice...tourists can get annoying because of all the history here, but i figure st louie gets its tourists as well.

Hey Buddy, I can read that small print, I have special Mod buttons just like you do.
I guess I was a "real fan" twenty years ago when I was still living in St. Louis. I sure went to a lot of ballgames...bleacher seats were only $3 then, even I could afford them. And by some miracle my then-girlfriend married me even though I took her on so many cheap dates to Busch.
I'm in Columbia (Mo.) now, so I'm not too far away. I can watch all the games on TV, or listen to them on the radio if it's a day game and I'm at work. And I'm in St. Louis probably once a month on average for various reasons, and usually am able to make it to a half-dozen games or so a year although it has gotten harder to get tickets with the new stadium.
So things could be worse. I miss Ted Drewes and good Italian restaurants though. Nothing like that in Columbia.

I now live in Indianapolis. Grew up a Cardinals fan listening to Harry Carey and Jack Buck on KMOX and local stations in the Terre Haute area. So that tells you I have not been a kid for many, many moons.
Most recent movie I've seen featuring Leonardo was The Departed. I'd recommend...I liked it a lot. He's a young cop undercover in the mafia. His life crosses with Jack Nicholson, a guy I will watch in almost any movie. Jack is an Irish mafia boss; Matt Damon is a young mafia plant in the police department. Enjoy, if the plot seems like it fits your movie tastes. It did mine.
