If you ever wanted proof the power of this forum, read the thread about the T206 Cobb mislabeled. It is long but it has our usual suspects (MW, Bruce, Dan Matty, and others), but it is the the responses from others (PSA rep, owner of the Cobb, friens that was on hand for his purchase) that make this forum great. |

If I had known all those fancy types were reading, I would have shut up more often. Or at least tucked in my shirt. |

I couldn't have said it better, Lee. Of course, after being a cop for more than a decade, I'm not quite used to being called a "usual suspect". Heh heh. |

was overrated and predictable. But I seem to be in the minority with this opinion. |

Sorry guys it was a great movie... One of my all time favorites.... but then I am a sucker for movies with Kevin Spacey. I think he is a great actor |

but you can't put a big name actor in the role of the surprise character unless you ahve some other equally big names to help cover the bluff. Pkus, his character was so inconspicuous and low key that it was obvious that he was Kaiser. |

I didn't suspect Sosay HAD to be one of the characters we had seen, so finding out who it was was a big surprise to me. Now, as to Fight Club, I read the book before seeing the movie, so I knew what the twist was. |

Thought entire movie was excellent--the way it was put together. But, having seen it three times, I just don't see how Spacey could have won Best Supporting Actor. He has the most screen time, he is the voice-over narration, and he's IT. |

that's where "the usual suspects" came from. The way it's used in "Casablanca," though, the chief of police is telling someone to "round up the usual suspects" for the murder (killing) of a Nazi, when the killer is the hero of the movie and a great friend of his. |

If you have not seen Swimming with Sharks, then you must. Glengarry Glen Ross is also a classic. |

Spacey was also great in 'the Negotiator'...alongside Samuel L. Jackson. |

Apacey on the old TV series Wiseguy was great. I knew he would be headed for greatness. Loved that whole story arc. And having Joan Severence for his sister didn't hurt any |

Mel Prophet was the character Spacey played on Wiseguy. Couldn't think of it when I made the post. |

I'm with Dan ( he's one of the orignal three blind mice, along with me and Brian H.) Lord of the Rings was the best movie I have seen since Star Wars, can't wait for the Two Towers. That's one movie I am glad is so long because it is so good. The DVD release with an extra 30 minutes was great. |

The movie did a good job dealing with a very dry book. Three volumes of dense prose with almost no female characters is hard to make interesting. |

...the extra footage was quite a treat. I had 17 friends over the night the extended DVD version was released. We all loved it. Really whet our whistles for The Two Towers. I really have to take my hat off to Jackson for how he has portrayed one of my favorite novels... The Tolkien family has to be really pleased. (And, probably like everyone associated with that movie, very rich...and getting richer.) |

The Bible is the only book to outsell the "Rings". I even went out and bought the animated version of the "Rings". But the real life version is awesome!!!! I got my free ticket with the extended version!!! I wil definately be going as soon as I can to Two Towers. |

Looking forward to "The Two Rowers." My sister re-read "Lord of the Rings" after she saw the movie--I didn't have to, I'd read it so many times (it came out when I was in my teens, I think) that I'd memorized parts of it. I quoted them to her and drove her nuts. "Is everything sad going to come untrue?" |

good lord, what books were you reading? The Silmarilian, now that was a tough read. But it does give a lot of great background info on Middle Earth and the everything that lead up to and including Sauron's creation of the rings. |

Turns out I HAD seen it..but didn't remember anything except who the villian was. Now that I've seen it twice, there're still things I don't understand: the whole sequence with Spacy, the party=boy and the politician, for instance. Has Guy Pearce (the hero, sort of) been in anything since? I thought he was very good. Hate to say this, but Russel Crowe was the best of them all, or maybe Danny DiVito. Spacey was good, but not great... |
