watched the show since its inception. best show on tv IMO. i loved the 1st season but this new one is shaping up to be great. the character complexity is starting to really kick in...
always thought crowe looked like bill hicks in some subtle ways. only problem for me is that i have no true sense of how crowe would do in delivering comedy when it comes to imitating hicks' standup.
i've never been a russell crowe fan so i have my doubts. but if there's anything i'd like to see him try to pull off, this would be it...

unfortunately was too young at the time. never been to the new mansur's either. any good? and if so, what kind of place it is as far as types of crowds and atmosphere (casual, formal, and whatnot)?

didn't know they did that. if so, i'll have to pay a visit.
not to venture off subject too badly, but i really dislike their new venue. i hated the fact that they got rid of that old shopping center for a wal-mart among other things. they took away a chunk of my childhood when they demolished it. my all-time favorite candy store was there... of course, this would have been more of a throwback.

i think jerry stiller as arthur is a scene stealer. almost everything he does or says is hilarious.....
i personally think judice inn's burgers are much better. a little smaller burgers but the taste beats that point out

last one: there are strong references to "the graduate" in the episode "the millenium" whenever jerry is battling to stay on his girlfriend's speed-dial against her step-mother....
apocalypse now is referenced in "the chicken roaster" when elaine needs to get j. peterman to approve of her sable hat purchase.
platoon is vaguely alluded to in "the fatigues" when frank constanza is recalling his experience as a chef in the US army in korea. complete with a song very similar to the famous barber "quartet with strings" music...
more obscurely, references to former big band drummer buddy rich's infamous temper have been replicated in lines such as "If I have to tell you again, we're gonna take it outside and I'm gonna show you what it's like!" (george in "the opposite) and "This guy - this is not my kind of guy" (frank in "the understudy").

that is not biological evolution. that is evolution in the sense of evolution of language or music.
using that definition, it would still be possible to devolve, since it is not guaranteed that it must get more advanced.

as for your examples, gymnastics and volleyball were two sports in which the us had high expectations for medalling. i think that would have more to do with it. even playing non-US-involved games would then serve to showcase their competition.
but as for the rest, i don't think there's more coverage for the women's sports
even if so, what of it? do women's olmypics feats deserve not to be seen?

i think that the acting was amazing at times. the best scenes, in my opinion, were the more conversational pieces with tommy lee jones, as well as the longer dialogues with anton.
but as far as for the plot of the movies goes, i was very disappointed. the one thought that recurred in my mind throughout the movie is "where is this going?"/"where are you taking me?". i don't really see what the true point or message of the movie was.
i just think that the cinematography of the film, as well as the flashes of great acting, are not enough to justify the hype that came with this movie. when i want to see a movie such as this, i expect to be engaged by the movie's overall message. in this case, it was a message that was either too weak for me to detect or totally lost on me (which i wouldn't put past me).

thanks for the tips. i only used oil since i am very much a novice in the cooking department. seemed to work well but good to hear other explanations
i've always just thrown a touch of olive oil in when boiling it. that seems to do the job well enough for me.

"Also - do any of you guys miss Karen as much as me? I found her so much sexier than Jenna Fischer."
Amen to that.
I also agree about the Bob Loblaw thing. Scott Baio interjected NO humor into the character. Only thing funny about Loblaw was the name. But I digress since this is an Office thread...

don't know why he wants to start ruining whatever was good in his career.
FWIW, he's making another beverly hills cop too. not sure about that decision

see the fat guy was the one i hated.
but the other guys were funny. the dude who was also in arrested development is funny, just in his weird and awkward way.

"coming to america" is the bomb... still never understood all the rave about "superbad". i may have chuckled like twice, despite the fact that i was high.
that's just uncalled for. why does hollywood have some many frickin remakes and sequels?
can't even let good movies go. they must be done to death.... so sad
