    Drop 50 pounds in 12 months--Reasonable?

    Read John Stone's post again, because he offers very sound advice. Like he said 1-2 pounds of fat loss per week can be realistic. The hardest part of this process is getting into a routine and sticking to it religiously. A personal trainer might be a good idea if you don't have much experience...

    King Kong (2005)

    Well I finally managed to get to King Kong today after being overruled by the rest of the family to see Narnia earlier this week. Most of what I have to say has been thoroughly debated already, but I'd like to share a few of my opinions/impressions. King Kong is definitely one of my favorites...

    so which would u recommend as a travel golf bag..

    Well I've tried both type, and I definetely prefer the kind that totally encase the bag with hard plastic. These undoubtedly offer the most complete protection - at the cost of being considerably heavier then the cloth/padded enclosures. I have a hard case model that has wheels, so weight isn't...

    London Subway blasts - are our HTF brethren ok ?

    Rob, I think the www.werenotafraid.com website is a fantastic idea, with many witty and brilliant images, as you said. I am glad that the British people are acting with such courage and unity in the wake of such horrible events. I believe it shows a country's strength when the people refuse to...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Million Dollar Baby - Three Disc Deluxe Edition (VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

    Could anyone describe what the soundtrack is like, or compare it to something else that I might get a feel for it. I usually always opt for the edition with the most supplements or extras, but in this case I'm not sure if it will be worth it just for the soundtrack, since it is substantially...

    Pink Floyd said to reunite for Live 8....Really!

    The uninterrupted parts I did hear were simply awesome. I guess I'll have to wait for the dvd. Does mtv have a fucking clue about ANYTHING?

    Pink Floyd said to reunite for Live 8....Really!

    Mike Tyson, most likely done with boxing

    The associated press reported today that even after this fight he will still owe almost 40 million...Blows my mind that people can be so stupid with all that money.

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Tears Of The Sun: Director's Extended Cut

    I don't want to create conflict Rakesh, but why do you care whether a DC is released or not? When are people going to learn movies effect people in different ways. What may be average to you may be someone's favorite, or someone's worst. I bet many people will welcome this new version of the...

    Portable Air Conditioner Unit

    Well thanks for all your help Guo. I headed over to sears and picked up the 9000btu Royal Sovereign. I think I'm in the same boat as you.. I won't be using it all the time. However, it will be nice to know its there when I need it, like today almost 90 degrees out. The unit worked great in my...

    Portable Air Conditioner Unit

    Thanks for the response Guo. Looks like I am going to just have to spend a little more then I thought I would. I'm going to head over to sears tomorrow and check out the Royal Sovereign. Closest Costco is an hour and a half away, so I might not be able to do the Sharp. A couple more...

    Portable Air Conditioner Unit

    Guo, how is the Royal Sovereign unit working out for you? I want a portable so I can use it in my bedroom during the summer, and then bring it to school with me during the year. (Dropped my window unit out the window :b) So you can just plop these portable's anywhere and they will cool just as...

    Rambo IV gets the green light

    I'm kinda excited about this one, even though I chuckled out loud when I read the storyline. To me these films are all about the action and me pretending I would be able to do the same thing if I had muscles like that. :D I agree with you Corey about many of today's action stars, though...

    Burt Reynolds Slaps Reporter

    Heh, I can't believe so many people are defending Burt Reynolds. After watching that video I'll never think of him as anything except an asshole. Why should he be able to do something like that because he is a movie star? Show some friggin class. Whether or not the guy was dressed poorly and...

    Oliver Stone arrested on Drug, DUI charges

    Vince, I am well aware of the influence drugs in Stone's career. If you would read my post before making assumptions and calling me naive you would see I never said he was "screwing up his talent." I was only trying to say that its too bad he is being an idiot and driving around hollywood drunk...

    Oliver Stone arrested on Drug, DUI charges

    Well, he has done it again. Shame to see such an wonderful talent screwing things up for himself like this. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,157990,00.html

    Aviator Bonus Disc: Wal Mart???

    I opted for the bonus disc from Wal-Mart as well. The regular 2 disc version was 15.96, the bonus was just another 4 bucks so I figured it was worth it. I haven't gotten into the extra's on either disc yet, though I am looking forward to the documentary extras on both the 2nd and 3rd disc about...

    A few words about....Blu-Ray

    I just purchased a new Mitsubishi WS-65613 about 6 months ago. I've been very happy with it thus far, but haven't been able to check out HD on it yet as the cable provider in my area doesn't support it. When I bought this set, I didn't know anything about HD, besides how good it looked the few...

    Boondock Saints....WOW

    In the commentary Troy Duffy, the director/writer said that the reason Boondock never made it to the theaters was because it was set for release right after the time of the Columbine shootings. Since some of that tragedy was blamed on violence in the media he said basically nobody would show it...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Candyman Special Edition

    I thought the review was very well written, thanks Nestor. You let me know everything I wanted about the sound mix and transfer, making my dvd purchase much easier. I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid either, so I am very interested to watch it again paying close attention to the racial...

    Tiger, p-l-e-a-s-e go back to Butch!

    Sergio Garcia is calling Whistling Straights the hardest course he has ever played, probably just being his normal cry baby self. I watched most of the interviews with Pete Dye, the course designer, and his basic opinion was that the pros should man up and play the damn course. I've played many...

    having trouble getting through a few classics

    Well after following this thread closely and reading what a lot of people had to say, I rented Casablanca. Let me start off by saying I had an urge during most of the movie to open a bottle of fine bourbon, and puff on a cigar. ;) I really liked this film. I'm not sure why yet, but I...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Kill Bill Volume 2

    Just saw Vol. 2 for the first time last night. I already love the film, but I believe its going to take me multiple viewings before I can really appreciate it. For me, Vol. 1 was much easier to digest after the first viewing then the second film. I totally agree. I might have enjoyed this...

    Eclipse SW8152DVC

    Dallas, I have SW8152 in my car, except mine is svc. These are very nice woofers, and seem to be built like a tank. They are pretty much infamous for being very inefficient in the car audio world however. I send mine over 1000 watts of underrated power, and it takes it fine. If you end up...

    I just finished watching this. Wow. This movie surpassed my expectations in every way. This is one of the best movies I've seen in a LONG time. I put off seeing this film because of the Ashton factor, but I decided to rent it tonight because it seems like I've seen so many crappy movies lately...
