Sure it wasn&#39;t released in 3D but that&#39;s irrelevant for awards. The technology in District 9 can easily compete with that of Avatar...and District 9 cost about 1/20th as much. Not to mention the whole minor thing that District 9 exposes a much more specific underlying theme in a better way.<br /><br />That said, I have to admit Avatar was entertaining...but considering it cost 500 mill, it should have BLOWN me away and I can&#39;t really say that it did that. I walked out of the theater of District 9 with a way bigger impression.Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16236311783765789930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-25641215516022132322010-03-04T21:27:26.823-05:002010-03-04T21:27:26.823-05:00Ugh. You&#39;re probably right re: Avatar. I have no desire to see it and I don&#39;t really understand the hype. Blue people with a lame story line? Ok, it&#39;s got great special effects or something... so what? We&#39;re living in the future. In 5 years, Avatar will feel like it was made in 1930. Technology is changing. We shouldn&#39;t reward movies for changing with it.<br /><br />Lame. <br /><br />I&#39;m depressed now.Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15186341816108529562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-62511185262652892802010-02-11T12:49:29.390-05:002010-02-11T12:49:29.390-05:00True...however...I&#39;d &quot;run with the bulls&quot; (if you can call it being as far away as possible, running fast as possible and jumping the fence if the least bit panicked) but I don&#39;t think I&#39;d enter a Tough Guy competition.Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16236311783765789930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-77878464577137213942010-02-11T07:47:20.641-05:002010-02-11T07:47:20.641-05:00That&#39;s all contrived. <br /><br />Real tough guys run with bulls.Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15186341816108529562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-5341231780219070862010-02-09T21:37:02.063-05:002010-02-09T21:37:02.063-05:00haha yeah, that one&#39;s awesomeKevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16236311783765789930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-49448113348335029182010-02-09T21:22:59.612-05:002010-02-09T21:22:59.612-05:00Also, best autotune of all time is here:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWRyj5cHIQAMikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15186341816108529562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-10022490715246470012010-02-09T14:16:17.703-05:002010-02-09T14:16:17.703-05:00The autotune could have been way better; the way they made it was corny.<br /><br />And yes, that Google spoof is way better.

So you&#39;re paying 4x as much for arguably worse vitamin intake...<br /><br />So to sum up, great idea...bad execution.KWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16236311783765789930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-28458200875193374392009-05-16T21:26:00.000-04:002009-05-16T21:26:00.000-04:00No Shue film deserves to be on a worst-of list.

There were some European fans, but it seemed to be mostly South American/Mexican fans there. Not sure what Philly would draw. <br /><br />In all seriousness, walking through the tunnel at Giants stadium was amazing - I've been there dozens of times, but at the Red Bull games, the average waist size was LITERALLY half of what it was at your normal Giants game.Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15186341816108529562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-35909010166422885192009-05-11T10:09:00.000-04:002009-05-11T10:09:00.000-04:00Haha awesome!

Part of it is because how our country views soccer...it gets VERY minimal coverage on ESPN and jokes fly around about it every day. Americans don't respect the game at all and so US fans are kind of outcasts.<br /><br />That said, I haven't really been able to gauge the Philly soccer fan base. I went to a European match in Philly (Chelsea v Milan) and it seemed to be a lot of European people (including a group of 40-50 year olds who brought an entire keg to tailgate with and were singing chants the entire time) at the game and young people that played soccer themselves.KWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16236311783765789930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-60295234991444785322009-05-11T06:29:00.000-04:002009-05-11T06:29:00.000-04:00Very funny you should mention that - I'm going to an "80s party" this weekend as a Cobra Kai member, with Karate pants and an amazingly awesome Cobra Kai shirt.

The rest are just recreational enjoyment. Sure, I've seen my share of Phillies, Sixers, and Flyers games. I'll root for them over most teams. <br /><br />My point still stands, however, that soccer fans are a different breed than the rest of the "American" sports fans - especially the Philly fans.Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15186341816108529562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-38628930042898395912009-05-09T14:55:00.000-04:002009-05-09T14:55:00.000-04:00Well true, it's Chester, PA.<br /><br />But *really* that would be more of a Philly team than your "New York" Giants considering it's in the same state.<br /><br />Andy Reid's mustache is awesome. Don't be jealous because trolls like Coughlin can't grow facial hair.<br /><br />What happened to your roots in Philadelphia sports other than football? I seem to remember attending a 76ers game with you and taking some Phillies tickets off your hands in the past. But oh well...I guess I'll have to root against "your" Red Bulls.KWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16236311783765789930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-86142649510262535022009-05-08T22:48:00.000-04:002009-05-08T22:48:00.000-04:00Yea... but it won't *really* be a Philly team. Have you been to any MLS games? It's all pencil thin dudes and people from South America and Mexico. Every other sports franchise in Philly has fans that look like Andy Reid around the midsection and often have the same stupid mustache.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to rooting against the "Union" when my Red Bulls are playing them.Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15186341816108529562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-38921324331332149502009-05-07T22:42:00.000-04:002009-05-07T22:42:00.000-04:00I should add that the past few years, I've strongly considered being either Daniel Larusso or Johnny Lawrence for Halloween (in the karate uniform) <br /><br />I was leaning toward Johnny because I have blond hair, the karate gi is sleeveless and I could just act like an asshole all night. The only challenge is I might have to walk around barefoot all night to really dedicate myself. I might have to do it next Halloween.KWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16236311783765789930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-70887708395229648822009-05-07T22:12:00.000-04:002009-05-07T22:12:00.000-04:00I love the whole pushing the station wagon thing.Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15186341816108529562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846622947851497210.post-90747683539728442562009-05-06T22:24:00.000-04:002009-05-06T22:24:00.000-04:00Also...the following is Dan&#39;s comment that he mistakingly posted on the last post regarding June 09 Movie Releases:<br /><br />&quot;I...I&#39;m...yep...I&#39;m gonna throw up........I swear on this blog for anybody reading to see, I will forever boycott Will Smith, his wanna-be son and Jackie Chan (not like this would be much of a loss) if this really happens. There are lots of movies re-made that probably shouldn&#39;t have been touched, but I didn&#39;t really mind. Planet of the Apes, Charlie &amp; the Chocolate factory - nice effort, not good at all but whatever, Psycho w/ Vince Vaughn was TERRIBLE but I gave it a shot. I&#39;m sure there are countless others, but not THE Karate Kid. You can&#39;t top a SINGLE character in that fine film. Not Daniel, not Ali &quot;with an i&quot;, not Johnny or his Sensei John Kreese, Not Dutch and all the members of Cobra Kai, not even Daniel&#39;s mom and how she pushes her station wagon down the street.
