    Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!!

    Yeah, AAA's last comment makes me think he doesn't watch every week. Tony is solid, in the Top 10 in points, still consistent even though he hasn't won this year. I'm not his biggest fan personally, but I'd take him over Logano. I think that Joe's afraid of losing him to another team, so he's...

    I think that one movie per year, and sometimes more, has dried Woody Allen up.

    AAA, Sounds like sour grapes to me. If Carl gets it back, fine. That's the way it goes. You don't like Carl, blah, blah, blah. There are far more interesting Silly Season things going on than this.

    Here's a topic for discussion: Woody Allen. Twenty years ago, he was highly regarded, one of the greats. Now, he doesn't even get a mention on this thread. What happened? Does he put out too much product? Is a film each year too much? I can't say I've seen any of the films he's made in...

    Sorry, AAA, but it seems that you're in the minority here. Bristol equals bump 'n run, plain and simple. No one wants it to be their driver, but that's the nature of tracks like this one.

    Didn't occur to you AAA that maybe Kyle had used it all up by the end of the race? Maybe that's why Denny got around him too? He was set up to lose all night - the fastest car doesn't always win.

    If it's a cheap win for him, then Gordo got a few of those against Rusty, and Earnhardt earned his fair share against . . . . everybody. That's the beauty in it - he didn't even tap him that hard. Just a little nudge to get his selfish butt out of the way. I've seen that Busch kid drive like...

    I think it's really interesting that if you compiled the list based on AFI and IMDB rankings, Hitchcock has three films in the Top 20. It's insane to me that he wasn't honored as much as he should have been. Look at Psycho - it wasn't even nominated for Best Picture! In fact, none of them...

    Unforgiven is a fantastic western . . . I have to go now and take the wheels off my trailer home.

    I am not here to attack anyone. I am here to debate, though. What's your idea of quality filmmaking? Can't there be good American filmmakers? I will agree on The Color of Money, though - Tom Cruise is a hack - that's regardless of his personal views.

    Here's a director for your list: Clint Eastwood. I would consider Unforgiven to be one of the greatest films of the past twenty years, if not for all time. He brings out the best in actors, and the performances in this film are top-notch. Such a wonderful example of a revisionist western -...

    Per Jayski: Gibbs Penalties Announced: NASCAR announced that the #18 and #20 teams in the Nationwide Series have been penalized due to rule violations discovered by NASCAR inspectors prior to post-race testing on the chassis dynamometer Aug. 16 at Michigan International Speedway. Both the...

    I really find it difficult to put the Farrelly Brothers in the same category as Hitchcock, Scorsese, and DeMille. I'd rather not put them with the greats; they should go with those that had promise, but never really lived up to it. Their first films were funny, but they couldn't match those...

    Cloris Leachman did win the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for the film. So many people forget this - they only remember her as Phyllis.

    Trendo, I was kidding. It was a joke about Lucas not living up to his potential, in my opinion. I will reiterate: it's an opinion. I saw that Goodfellas was brought up. One of the most exciting scenes . . . at the end, as Henry Hill's about to get caught, when he's way high, driving...

    Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!!

    What? There's no cheating in NASCAR. Hell, my guy even got busted this year. Also, the cheating was with the Nationwide cars . . . they're different cars, and I'd doubt that this crosses over to Cup. But it'll be a great day when Dave Rogers is suspended. The Gibbs domination, for me, is...

    American Graffiti . . . one of my favorites. There really is so much in common there with Last Picture Show . . . a longing for the past, days gone by, knowing that life would never be the same. The worst part of it was that those days were only ten years before that film came out. I wonder...

    I'll jump in here about Gump . . . . While Hanks was good in this film, it certainly did not merit the Best Picture award that it won. I saw it as a teen, and thought it was good, but as an adult, it's a bit cheesy, for lack of a better term. Much of it was obvious - heck, at 16, I knew...

    I'm sure that his brother's rough season has helped. Think about it - Kurt was the same full of himself jerk for a long time, winning a lot of races and a championship pretty early in his career. Now the guy's way down in the points (I'm not going to digress about Penske here). Kyle saw how...
