Yeah, I recorded it and am watching it right now. Seen it before, of course.

I don't think it was a big success at the box office. That's a shame. It's awesome.

All the made-for-the-movie songs were actually really good, too.

I had the dvd, and I remember in the outtakes when Izzy was on stage about to start the scene, they blasted "good vibrations" over the sound system. Shit was teh lulz

Anyone here seen Rockstar with Mark Wahlberg? That movie kicks ass.

Of course.

I think I actually saw that. I had the DVD, too.

BTW, I think I'm going to try to download the soundtrack tonight. Shit is pimp.

Meaning of course I have seen it. Several times, and it is on TV all the damn time (well it used to be on VH1 when I had satellite).

It is good stuff, I like the movie, and I liked how they used all these 70's and 80's rockers to fill out the cast.

[SPX]

Indeed.

Well I actually think a lot of people HAVEN'T seen it. I consider it underappreciated.

[Mr. IWS]

Looks like Reem is off his cycle

[SPX]

Damn, that nigga almost looks like just a regular guy.

[poopoo333]

[SPX]

Yeah, you see? Different guy.

[SPX]

Holy shit:

^^ guy clearly doped his way to wins and denied it vehomently the entire time. Even after the doping charges started cropping up, he continued to do it. No sympathy at all from me. Now that he it is all about to come out in the open, he says it is too much trouble to deny it... yeah, that's what it is. He fights it for years and years, but now that evidence is going to be released, it is too much trouble.

[SPX]

I suspect he is guilty also, but isn't it true that he had blood samples tested throughout all those years and never once failed one?

Yeah, that is true, but so? I recall Overeem using that same defense. There are many teammates coming out and saying Lance was a big time doper and even a pusher. Where that many people agree... it is a lot more convincing than the successfully cheating a test. He knows he would have gotten absolutely demolished in arbitration and now he is going to try to be a martyr. I just don't have a lot of sympathy for people who won't admit wrongdoing... especially when they try to point the finger at the people that figured it out.

Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, some of the biggest cheaters in history never failed a test.

[SPX]

Indeed. Well like I say, I do suspect he is guilty. This is some crazy shit, though. He's probably like the only cyclist that most people can even name. I mean, I can only name two: him and Landis. The dude is like the highest-profile cyclist in the history of the sport. He's a legend.
