QUOTE (tick @ Jun 2 2006, 06:39 PM) does this mean we may actually have to go outside our homes. Remember when you were young, and you'd play outside all day on the weekends, and until dark on school days? Mom would have to call out to you to stop playing hide-and-seek, and come home. How come we don't do that anymore? We just sit inside, in front of the TV all night. I'm as guilty as the next guy, but I wonder why we don't "play" outside like we used to.

I also popped in the ol' VHS copy, inspired by this thread. It's such a great movie. I remember watching it in the theater when it came out, with a group of friends from work. We were howling, and a girl I worked with smacked my knee at one point. The scenes that elicited the most hysterics from the audience: the deaths of the three doggies (and Ken's horrored reaction to each), and Otto ("Mr. Manfredjensendren") speaking to Wendy Leach after she came home early from the opera. The audience was laughing so hard, we missed some of the dialogue.

Gonzo.

I know it's already 20 years old, but still... isn't it a bit early to remake this film? And was it really good enough to warrant a remake??

I have no interest in watching shows about animals, cooking, fashion, gardening, or home improvement. History is also out, unless it has something of a "true crime" bent. I'm not interesting in hearing about WWI or WWII, or military actions, but maybe something like the Lindbergh kidnapping, Kennedy assassination, or Bonnie & Clyde... something like that. Cold Case Files and the solving of other old murder cases are intriguing to me, if done in a documentary style. No fiction; no "CSI." I want them to be TRUE murder cases. CourtTV does these kind of shows, as well as a couple other networks. Old episodes of the (cancelled) show "Unsolved Mysteries" are okay; they're shown of Lifetime.

Hilda's inexplicable disappearance is something that captures my interest, in a morose look-at-the-car-wreck kind of way. Not since Amelia Earhart has the disappearance of a woman been so fascinating. I've a special place in my heart for beautiful and sexy Hilda... or, as I like to call her, "Lady Jugs-o-plenty." Not since Deborah Norville have I been held so captive to the hypnotic sway of a woman's postpartum breasts. (Or am I being inappropriate by saying so?) Hilda... Hilda... Hilda...

QUOTE (Arleen2112 @ Jun 1 2006, 01:42 PM) Son hits mother during American Idol discussion Read about it here Oh my Ged! That's not too far from where I live! First I heard of it, though. American Idol: it tears families apart. Reminds me of a true news story I read about once. Seems two members of a family had been killed when gunplay erupted in their home. A disagreement had started over the topic of "who had done the most for Mom." Hahahaha! And "mom" was one of the victims.

I usually do plenty of reading and TV watching. But you're right, there's nothing on anymore. "American Idol" is over. There goes Tuesday and Wednesday. "The Apprentice" has one more Monday left, and then that night will be a void as well. What the heck do I watch? "Deal or No Deal"?

I'd love to be a member of the Mod Squad. I look sorta like a caucasian version of Linc Hayes, and I think Julie (Peggy Lipton) was a hottie.

GLEASON: I heard a ruckus. HALL: Could you describe the ruckus, sir? - - - GLEASON: Any questions? NELSON: Yeah. Does Barry Manilow know you raid his wardrobe? - - - "What did you want to be when you grew up?" "When I was a kid, I wanted to be John Lennon." "Carl, don't be a goof."

Awwww. GLEASON: (excited) The FBI are here?! VELJOHNSON: Want a breath mint?

Just went to the drive-ins last night to see "Over the Hedge" with my wife and children. The movie was okay for a children's pic, with a couple of adult jokes for us to appreciate. The first time I've been to a drive-in in about 20 years! We brought two bags of microwaved popcorn and a 2-liter bottle of soda, so we didn't have to pay at the concession stand. My 3-year old drank Apple Juice from the back seat; we kept asking her if she could see, and she didn't answer. Hopefully she could.

QUOTE (feelingwithyourskin @ May 25 2006, 04:44 PM) dialidol, and other statistical tallying methods don't take text messaging into account, because there is no way to count this. by rough estimate, kat was getting tons more text messages than taylor, so they were most likely much closer than dialidol predicted. Closer than dialidol predicted, maybe, but I still don't think it was even close. They couldn't have been that far off, could they?

QUOTE Those outfits they came up with were HORRIBLE. It was funny, bordering on embarrassing watching the models come out wearing them and how excited and confident they were that their outfits were so superior, when they were really just awful. High fashion outfits for working at a hotel? Come on, now! I agree. The cooks' outfits were especially atrocious, and non-functional to boot. What was with the shiny peachy-colored material? Too flashy; too fashion show. I did prefer the girls' outfit for "female desk clerk" over the guys' outfit, but that was it. Other than that, it was the men over the women by a mile. Funny how these two very good friends - when faced with being fired - turned on each other and got extremely catty in the boardroom. "Still friends?" Roxanne asked afterward. If I were Allie, I'd have said no.

Goob - Looking at dialidol.com stats (and other polls), the vote wasn't even close. It was Taylor by a mile. Some polls showed him with as much as 75% of the vote.

Did anyone else see David Hasselhoff in the audience, crying?? What was that about?

Whoopie. Taylor wins. Should've been Chris Daughtry. Now we can get on with our lives, I guess.

QUOTE feelingwithyourskin says: i'd say the real AI successes to date are kelly and clay, with carrie and bo being too early to tell, though carrie seems to be well on her way with her appeal to the mentally simple southern Jesus freak crowd. I'd say Carrie is MORE than just "well on her way." Her country album is doing awesome, and - while we were watching AI - she won a country music award last night. I LOVE the "mentally-simple, southern Jesus freak" comment. Finally something we both agree on... we're both prejudiced against country-listening, southern Bible Belt hicks. A personal question: are you from the CP board? Or do you only post here?

As will Chris Daughtry.
