Sachmo has.

I didn't realize but it's a remake of a movie from the 40's?

Yet another Hollywood rip off.

Yep, I know that.

I'm a classic movie buff (had courses in cinema history in college, was the guy who kept raising his hand when the lecturer inquired whether we had seen certain Hitchcock films while the rest were confused. did real good in the exams and presentations of film analysis) but that didn't make me like the movie less. The film was just an enjoyable and warm adventure. And David Bowie's "Space Oddity" was the icing on the cake.

I saw it. I enjoyed Mitty. Am surprised it got kind of panned by critics here. I was a fan of the Danny Kaye original when I was a kid.

can't say that I'm some die-hard but that loss against the Jets a few years back hurt a bit. Would be so fun to see a Chargers win tonight, the underdog status makes me want to root for them even more.

Oh yeah, great stuff. Danny Kaye was a madman, kind of like the original Robin Williams.

North Carolina sports as a whole are struggling, the Panthers got beat, Bobcats suck, Duke and UNC suck, NC State sucks, all the other colleges/universities probably suck....literally the only NC team doing decent is the Hurricanes and they are just 19-17-9 which is pretty bad for hockey

Saw this gem on there.

Tonya Harding before and after reminds me of Emperor Palpatine's before and after following his encounter with Mace Windu.

Richard Sherman is such a bitch. That post game interview was absolutely pathetic. Your team is going to the Superbowl... Now go get some anger management.

Bronco's

I think the Broncos win fairly easily. Seahawks struggle outside of their home field.

Hugo The Hornet · Post #136 » by **Hugo The Hornet** » Mon Jan 20, 2014 8:10 pm

Seahawks has won only because it was in their home. I hoped for win of the 49ers.

I should have said they aren't nearly as good on the road as they are at home. They can get rather dominant at home. On the road they are vulnerable.

Is anybody watching the State of the Union address?
