IIRC, wasn't he the Republican candidate who had changing positions on all the major issues?

The guy to watch out for might be Jeb Bush, although if he's smart he'll wait till 2016 where his brother's presidency might be a little better forgotten.

Thanks for starting this thread Von.  I have a bunch of Bond films Dl and haven't had a chance to watch all of them.  I've watched some of the films and I can say right now I have a major disagreement with you on one of your rankings.

Isn't it pretty much a unanimous consensus that Casino Royale blows Quantum of Solace out of the water in terms of story, acting, character development and action sequences?  That one should be a no brainer.

I'd settle for new music of any sort from Axl--leaks, demos etc.  While I don't love Chinese Democracy, there are some interesting ideas on there that keep me interested in a follow up, especially one that is darker and grittier as had been suggested.  There should be more rockers on there anyway.

I've given up expecting a video release or information regarding the recording, planning of CD.  I figure most of the stuff written about the clusterfuck process of recording Cd is accurate enough and anything else he says really won't add too much to the discussion.

I'm only a bit interested in more Slash bashing only because I figure he'll give us a better picture of what really happened during 1995 and 1996.

That's funny.  I remember going to see this when it first came out in 1989 and I ended up falling asleep halfway through the movie.  I think it was the part where the Batmobile made an appearance.  To this day, I still can't sit through this film in its entirety.  I don't know whether its Michael Keaton or the slow moving story but whatever it is I get restless.  Now Batman Returns, I enjoyed that film although I really need to rewatch it since the last time I saw it was in 1991 when it opened up.

That seems to be the case as we've seen a ton of remakes by Hollywood of Asian horror flicks--The Ring, the Grudge etc.  FWIW, I enjoyed The Orphanage (spanish horror film) since it was so darn creepy.  I still remember that one scene where the old woman gets hit by a truck and a few seconds later her hand clutches up and she grabs the hand of the main character (sorry if this is confusing).  I ended up yelling Holy Shit pretty loudly in the theatre.  Lucky for me there were only 4 people there.

Nah, I don't think he's leaving yet.  More likely he'll  wrestle HBK at WM then take a few months off.  After that he'll come back and feud with another wrestler.  Undertaker only wrestles a half schedule anyway.

When he decides to retire, you can bet that WWE will pimp the hell out of that.  He was one of the few guys who resisted jumping when WCW was clobbering WWE in the mid 1990s--along with HBK.  I think Vince always respected that loyalty.  You can bet that he'll get that Vince will give him the royal treatment when he decides to leave.
