Indeed. My thought was that horseracing is probably a lot more difficult to influence.

I'd agree with that.

Mission impossible fuckin sucked, movie just was too long.

new years eve was really good. I didnt want to see it, but was glad I did.

Mission Impossible sucked but New Years Eve was good?

That's perhaps the least manly thing you've ever said on here, Zak. . .

At least he knows what sport we're posting gifs and scores of.

But yeah, that's pretty unmanly.

I don't watch those gay sports.

New Year's Eve has pretty much been universally panned. Teh impression I get is a piece of shit with a lot of familiar faces playing the role of corn in said shit log.

Anyone see "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" or "A Dangerous Method"? I am actually considering skipping out of work in a bt to go catch one of those

[SPX]

I want to see Tinker Tailor but for some reason it's not playing here yet.

[Mr. IWS]

LOL

not to give it away, but the last hour was Tom cruise chasing a guy with a brief case. after 15 minutes, its like, "alright nigga, just catch him and roll credits already"

I agree that it was a bit long and not all that some critics are making it out to be, but I thought it was still a solid entry into the franchise. In my opinion is started off very strong (the first 20 minutes) and then the rest of the movie couldn't live up to the beginning.

By the way, is it just me or does it seem like it's been fucking forever since some UFC shit was last on? I am so goddamn ready for this weekend.

It's been a while for sure. Gonna be just shy of three weeks when 141 rolls out. But yeah it feels like a while probably because there hasn't been anything for the last week and a half and Strikeforce was a little less than memorable for the most part.

[MMA_scientist]

Yes, it has been a rough 3 weeks with no major MMA. I am ready for Friday for sure. I pretty much expect MMA every week now. And since I have been injured and unable to train myself, it has made it even worse, because I can't even watch some MMA on tv.

What have you heard about "A Dangerous Method"? It looks pretty damn intriguing to me. I personally think Freud is pretty much a quack, but I find psychology pretty interesting, even though I don't really delve too deep into it (mainly because I think it is mostly bullshit).

Well after Flyweights get introduced we should be able to get UFC events about 35 weeks out of next year, a few Strikeforce events or so.

[SPX]

35 weeks? Where did you come up with that?

I think it looks interesting. I like Viggo and Michael Fassbender is proving himself to be quite the actor. There are probably some other movies in line ahead of it when it comes to going to the theater, but I'm sure I'll catch it after it comes out on DVD.
