Then you must have loved the "scene" that everyone talked about when that movie first came out. :bed:
I actually thought the scene was a bit overrated. It wasn't bad, I just expected more out of it. Halle is supposed to be a screamer in bed, and she should have expressed that.
Maybe foreign films have raised(or lowered depending on how you look at it) my standards when watching films. Everything that comes out of Hollywood is so cookie cutter safe that I have trouble taking things seriously in alot of their films now.
I also can see 1408 not being a great film to watch multiple times. I'll avoid that one like the plague.

My week 6 analysis......
Looks like San Diego is attempting to save their season, although a win against the Raiders doesn't prove anything. Its a step in the right direction though. Chicago is collapsing, although at least the game was close. Cleveland wins again. That team is an anomaly, as they aren't really that good, but find ways to win. If they get a wildcard spot, its a team you do not want to play. Green Bay wins a close one against a pretty good skins team, and shows they are apparently for real. Jacksonville beats Houston, and like Cleveland are a team to watch out for this year. Like Chicago, Cincy is collapsing, while KC is trying to stay afloat in a mediocre division. Philly finds a way to win against a weak Jets team. NFC east is very competitive this year. Tampa wins again, and like Cleveland, you better watch out come the playoffs. Tampa is even more dangerous since they are in the NFC. No dominant teams to worry about. Carolina wins with Testaverde, and they are shaping up to be a surprise team as well. NE kills Dallas, and maybe the Dallas bandwagon will start to decrease in size. Also looks like the Saints are about to kill Seattle as well.
The main thing achieved this week is showing how the NFC is completely wide open this season. The Bears are a disaster, and with Seattle showing no dominance, the whole conference with the exception of the Rams has a shot at the playoffs.
The NFC needed a dominant team(or two) to be able to create a sort of totem pole to know exactly where to place teams. That didn't happen this season, and although The Packers and Cowboys are 5-1, they are by no means dominating the conference.
Its up for grabs, and I could easily see a team like Tampa, Carolina, or even Arizona going to the SB.

I would probably go see them as well if they played in my area.

A war with Iran will be over a destabilized dollar. They are threatening to dump the dollar and replace it with the Euro. That will create a domino effect.

He could try running as an independent, although its basically mission impossible to get elected. An independent usually ends up playing a spoiler type role in the election.

PARKER, Colo. - It was supposed to be a celebration at Lutheran High School southeast of Denver, but the homecoming festivities turned into a tragic accident.
During a pep rally inside the school's gymnasium Friday afternoon, the senior football players took to the court to play a game of tug-of-war with the junior football players.
Witnesses say during the competition, two juniors, who had the rope wrapped around their hands, started to scream.
Sophomore Jenni Kjerstad said it was a chaotic scene inside the school.
"Hearing it was pretty gross. There was like a lot of people screaming and just all blood flying everywhere and just people running out of the room," she said.
Parker Police say the boys suffered severe injuries, partially severing their hands.
"The injuries consisted of partial amputation of the right hand on both players," said Lt. Sam Realmuto of the Parker Police Department.
The boys, Henry Barrett and Mitch Helfer, were rushed to nearby hospitals, where they had to undergo surgery to save their hands.
Barrett is listed in critical condition, while Helfer's condition was not immediately known.
Counselors were brought to the school for students who witnessed the accident or were affected by the event.
"We're praying for all you guys," said Kjerstad.
Lutheran High School says it has postponed all homecoming events until further notice.
