That new guy Rhodey wanted me to start this thread cuz he can't so here, answer the question.

X-Men 3 comes out in May. Along with Batman Begins and Spiderman 2 I think X2 was the best comic book movie. I think this one will be up there too. Among the new characters is Beast played by Kelsey Grammer and Archangel. USA Today has the first pics of the new members. Sadly, they still haven't worked Gambit into the series. I don't know what's holding them back. He seems to be everyone's favorite after Wolverine. http://www.usatoday.com/life/gallery/2005/x3/flash.htm

So, my Dad's birthday is on the 11th of Jan. and he's going to be 50. Well, I have no ideas on gifts to get him! I won't be here to celebrate it because of school, which sucks but I need some ideas. I want to get him something great because turning 50 is a big deal. Any ideas? Btw, here's a little about him: Loves to work on the house LOVES THE Yankees... he's why I'm a huge Yankee fan Loves to sail... however, our boat is going under major repairs Loves to hike Loves trains

This year's winner was Paul Walker by a hair. Feel free to discuss what you liked, what you disliked, etc. This includes guys who should have been included, guys who made you go "wtf" and the like. Thanks to everyone who participated and made it a hit. I look forward to next year's. ;)

So for Christmas my wife and my Mother were going to get me a Dell Pocket DJ MP3 player for $199.00. But for $250.00 I thought I might like a PSP better. Because the PSP can play music, movies, and games and show pictures. I don't really "have" to have the gaming system, but for $50.00 it seems like the better deal. Just wondering what everyone else thought. Does anyone have a PSP? Would you recommend it?

I picked up this game last night at 12am.. I was wondering if anyone else got it, and how they like it? I have played two games so far...and it seems pretty realistic.... Giants 31- Cards 17 Giants 17- Saints 14

Didn't see this anywhere else, but I wanted to share this: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,7374-1963870,00.html

Someone will get fat. I will have a donut at some point next year. I will not be the one who gets fat despite the donut. On the way to work, someone will forget something. NYYFANS.com will remain the greatest, most addictive website on the planet not featuring girl-on-girl porn. Johnny Damon will say something stupid in ST. The Red Sox as an organization will say something stupid before, during, and after ST. Anyone voting for Petra Nemwhomever will get their Brokeback on. The New York...

This might be interesting....

Just curious what everyone got for the holiday. I was surprised this year. Last year my wife was recovering from an operation so I did ALL the shopping myself. I knew everything that was coming. This year... air compressor and a R/W DVD/ VCR player!!! Time to transfer my West Wing tapes!!! Woot!

I just got a Video iPod for Christmas and would like to stock it up with music videos. The only problem is that the iTunes music videos are pretty damn expensive ($2 a pop). So I was wondering if anyone knew of a site where I could download free or cheap music videos to put on my iPod. Thanks.

I'm taking my daughter into Manhattan tomorrow to see a school. We'll be in the Penn Station vicinity. Can any of you Manhattanites suggest a nice, yet reasonable, place to have a late lunch in that area?

I don't have a link yet, but saw it on the news. They said he died after a long illness believed to be cancer. Many will remember him as OJ's attorney. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time. May he rest in peace. :(

Anybody know? I've had one for years and for the life of me I can't figure out what that crooked pointy part at the end is for. :confused:
