Roundup: Natalie Portman’s Knocked Up, ESPN Hired Mike Brown & Tubby Smith-to-Charlotte Rumor
Natalie Portman, because she’s engaged and pregnant (obligatory scene from Closer below) … “Drunken snowmobiler taunts police” … the story of a KKK leader fighting over beer … this guy claims to have eaten at over 15,000 different McDonalds … since when do cab drivers turn down sex? … “Police Say Woman Attacked Parents With Christmas Tree” … idiot calls 911 on “the media” … hospital in Maryland bans photos and video until five minutes after childbirth … Jon Stewart as Edward Murrow? Nah …

Agreed, but the play’s better. No tacked-on happy ending for the Portman character. Marber is the man. Dude can write.

Ugh…. I’ve been in love with Natalie Portman since I was 13 and I first saw her in The Professional. I’m taking this real hard.
December 28th, 2010 at 8:57 AM
i’m not sad about her womb, everything else that will be wrecked is my concern.
December 28th, 2010 at 8:57 AM
Gross…even if you were 13…
December 28th, 2010 at 8:58 AM
That’s what she said

/Portman just seems like she would be very condescending.
//She also murdered the 2nd Star Wars Trilogy.
///Bedroom scene with her and Kunis was Oscar worthy though.

if only queen amidala was into the ladies, the prequel trilogy would have been much more tolerable.

No way you can pin that on her. That one’s all on Tin Ear and whoever cast the dual Anakins.

wouldnt be surprised to see Mark Cuban offer a 5 year/$150 mill deal to him soon
December 28th, 2010 at 9:03 AM
Keeley? Relation?
December 28th, 2010 at 9:03 AM
To Note: The ass slap was merely payback for the earlier ass slapping I had received from her.

December 28th, 2010 at 9:07 AM
true story…the second part at least. I was a little too buzzed to remember if she looks like Natalie though. I do remember the slap though. loud…kinda echoed through the empty Gator stadium at the end of that Sakerlina game.

Kunis is a looker–but I can’t get her Family Guy voice out of my head.
/so annoying
December 28th, 2010 at 9:13 AM
I thought it was theater worthy. But I tend to go to movies as soon as the come out if I really want to see it. But if you are a Darren Aronofsky fan (Pi, The Wrestler, Requiem for a dream) you are going to like it. Let’s put it this way, I doubt you will feel like you wasted your money and you will probably end up enjoying it.
/Possible Bonus points: If you take your lady to the movie, the bedroom scene might be enough to convince her to bring in a teammate for your birthday.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:15 AM
So….you’re telling me there’s a chance….
December 28th, 2010 at 9:15 AM
Anyone see True Grit? Can I take my 12 year old niece?
December 28th, 2010 at 9:17 AM
Besides a possible nipple slip from Kunis, you don’t really get much in the way of exposed goodies. However, it is a pretty explicit scene. I don’t think I have ever seen a girl on girl scene like that in a legitimate film before. Makes Neve Campbell/Denise Richards scene in Wild Things look like a commercial for the United Way.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:18 AM
Nice.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:19 AM
I wouldn’t take her if I was you, V4L. Lots of violence, a few pretty graphic scenes. Even as an adult* I was disgusted at some of the animal violence.
* – debatable
December 28th, 2010 at 9:20 AM
Anyone see True Grit? Can I take my 12 year old niece?
yes, one bloody scene real quick
She will probably enjoy the girl’s role through out the movie
Really well acted and filmed movie.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:20 AM
I enjoyed it but it’s pretty violent in spots, of course in this country that only merits a PG-13 movie but show a little lovin’ and the Puritans get their stiffer rating

You’d have to be REALLY unlucky to ever get called on that for downloading torrents. In about eight years, I only got one letter from the ISP telling me that I illegally downloaded an episode of The Sopranos and that HBO was pissed. Even with that, you could tell the ISP didn’t give a shit because they don’t want to lose customers.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:21 AM
ooh, I smell deal breaker…
December 28th, 2010 at 9:21 AM
Wasn’t there like 20 people shot through the course of the film? I’ll never understand being more offended when bad things happen to animals than people

My 8 year old daughter was fine, she liked it.

Quite graphically, actually.
Because the horse didn’t have opposable thumbs to grip a gun an defend itself. Listen, just because one horse kicks Draper’s dad in the face doesn’t mean the rest should have to suffer.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:24 AM
I hate people. Most of them are greedy, selfish assholes who have too many children. Animals are pretty legit though.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:24 AM
i read some article about that last year regarding 2012. everyone cheered when a little dog barely survived near disaster and they cheered when they saw millions of people ride california into the ocean.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:25 AM
Ozzie finally got his 400th win. He was outstanding last night in a game the Wings had no business being in. Kid stood on his head all night after giving up a awful 2nd goal. Avs could of easily had 10 goals. But no, with the all world play of St. Nick they win in OT.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:27 AM
Thanks guys; I think I’ll just see it without them. Celly/Jada’s parents would probably never let me hear the end of it with all the violence involved (human & animal.)
December 28th, 2010 at 9:27 AM
It couldn’t have been worse than what happened to the horse in TWD…
December 28th, 2010 at 9:28 AM
I’ve never downloaded a torrent. In fact I didn’t know what one was until about a month ago.
Just a word to the wise. Be careful, because the hammer is about to come down, especially on a website called piratebay.

Pittsburgh 78, Connecticut 63. The previously-unbeaten Huskies got 31 from Kemba Walker, but nobody else could score.

//Kemba is awesome though
December 28th, 2010 at 9:31 AM
Be careful. Studios are loading their own stuff now, and doing deep packet searches to catch DL’ers. Do yourself a favor, and use usenet, and a SSL encrypted client. No deep packet searching. 100% anonymous. NBC Universal dinged about 70,000 people who DL’ed Robin Hood.
The Fighter? Wait a couple weeks. It’ll be a DVDRip, not a cam. Any movie that may win an Oscar is mailed to the voters early, so they can see it. inevitably, they will end up available. And it’s now Slippery Pete with his handicam, it’s the real DVD. this is my favorite time of the downloading year.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:31 AM
i agree. i’ve seen some good storytelling in films, but none that have ever gotten me so wrapped up i actually cheered or clapped when something happened. i did a quiet little boo the first time i saw the ending of matrix revolutions in theatres though.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:32 AM
if you ever go to that site, they post a bunch of letters they receive from lawyers of the MPAA and other film/music/software companies along with their sarcastic and snarky responses. kinda hilarious, but I could see why the authorities would be so pissed with them. i believe they’ve been raided and shut down before in Sweden and showed up in different countries or something.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:33 AM

Quite the accomplishment, shouldn’t be a HOF’er though.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:34 AM
Jesus, Duckworth of all Duckworth’s. the hammer has been down, for a year on TPB.
SC, if you are going to Dl torrents, be sure to use a private tracker (Bitsoup is a great one because they take donations for upload credit. No need to keep them running to help your ratio.) NEVER DL FROM A PUBLIC TRACKER!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER!!!!!!
December 28th, 2010 at 9:34 AM
No one cheered when the US beat Iceland at the Goodwill Games? I find that impossible to believe.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:34 AM
Of the 11 man UConn rotation, 6 are freshman. They played scared last night.
A second scorer will have to emerge for the team to be competitive. My guess is they max out in the semi-finals of the Big East tournament, the sweet 16 of the NCAAs (that’s best case). They are NOT a top ten team — probably not a top 20 team.
December 28th, 2010 at 9:34 AM
Only time Ive witnessed cheering at the end of a movie was for Fahrenheit 911. Just weird. There was an audible groan/gasp at the end of Inception.

I saw The Day After Tomorrow and a bible beater stood up at the end of the movie saying that this was going to happen to all of us if we didn’t repent for our sins. One of the more surreal moments of my life.
Lets add bible beaters to the list of people I hate.
So far, we are at:
-People who cheer in movie theaters
-Bible beaters

I always recommend avoiding the downloading of new releases that are only out in theaters. I remember when Wolverine was released even before it was in theaters and I think they busted 100+ people for downloading it right away as they searched for whoever leaked it.
On the other hand, I can’t imagine there is much of a radar if you download Wayne’s World, a Tears For Fears album from 1986, or an eight-year old episode of Seinfeld.

They are NOT a top ten team — probably not a top 20 team.
I would say they are probably top 20 or at least will end up there by the end of the year. Outside of Walker they were timid. The Pete isn’t the easiest place to play.

/mixed in with some tears thinking about Herbie dying before they finished the movie

Mike Brown should do well on ESPN, he was a video guy for years. Jalen Rose needs to go

in case you haven’t been paying attention, two good looking ladies get it on.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:07 AM
just Miracle. I had the same reaction. greatest sports moment of all time.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:08 AM
Spencer thinks this is bullshit.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:08 AM
I considered booing at the end of Hancock but decided it best to just go home
December 28th, 2010 at 10:09 AM
Miracle was the greatest American sport moment. It doesn’t resonate with Canadians in the same way as ’72, ’02 or ’10.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:10 AM
You know what’s bullshit, the Missouri – Iowa game starting at 9:00 PM central. Too fucking late. Glad I’m not in the eastern time zone.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:11 AM
You are aware America is the only country in the world, right?
December 28th, 2010 at 10:11 AM
Thx SG. Knew HBO had that doc with the name also. I thought that Kurt Russell did a great job. Like to watch that movie once in a while when I need a lift
December 28th, 2010 at 10:12 AM
You can’t compare Miracle on Ice with a bunch of NHLers playing each other for a gold medal. Miracle is a WAY bigger accomplishment than the latter.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:12 AM
dood, if something is the greatest in America, it’s by default the greatest in the world. that’s just how it works.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:12 AM
Oh I am sorry you don’t get a vote for that.

December 28th, 2010 at 10:15 AM
No shit Miracle is only great for Americans. Why would we have to qualify that? Mother fuck.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:16 AM
Totally. The HBO doc “Do You Believe In Miracles” is amazing. You get a better sense of how incredible the accomplishment was. It tends to get a bit dusty in the room when your watching it too.

OK between the round of bowling on Sunday and the hours I’ve spent playing DJ Hero with my boyfriend’s niece I have some major carpal tunnel issues with the tendons in my right wrist.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:16 AM
SG, for those of us north of the border the 72 summit series means more than the Miracle on Ice. Not saying it was a greater accomplishment, just that it is a greater moment.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:17 AM
Gotta love Man City not wasting anytime with Aston.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:17 AM
Mark Wahlberg: For your consideration
Still not as good as him asking children where have all the bees gone.

HA
December 28th, 2010 at 10:18 AM
Buy the DVD. It’s worth it. I’ve never not cried when watching it.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:18 AM
The Miracle on Ice is the greatest event, sports or otherwise, in the history of the world. Ended the cold war, Al Michaels had real hair, the USA went on to win gold, Mike Eruzione’s circuit of motivational speaking and other cash grab opportunities was born and Canada didn’t even medal.
Greatest. Moment. EVER.

Rocky didn’t end the Cold War. Hearts on Fire did.

8 games? Not the Olympics? Not amateurs? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
December 28th, 2010 at 10:24 AM
Vlad, did you see Dom Hasek playing for Spartak Moscow in the Spengler Cup?
December 28th, 2010 at 10:27 AM
im gonna start a cold war against hocky. only this cold war is gonna be HOT! HOT! HOT!

Super Bowl XXXI > Miracle On Ice
December 28th, 2010 at 10:28 AM
Easy, fella. Rocky v. Drago is what ended the Cold War.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:29 AM
Spence at least have the decency to spell ‘hockey’ correctly in the history books.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:29 AM
No, but I heard he gave up like 6 goals to America’s Hat.

At least wait until the WJC is over. We need ‘Merica banding together to support the boys against the evil Canadians, Russians and Finns. USA v Slovakia tonight! USA! USA! USA! USA!

i was under the impression that stealth air technology was what ended the cold war. was i wrong?

December 28th, 2010 at 10:32 AM
Vlad, he had one vintage Hasek save on a breakaway. The classic pad stack.
/then he assaulted another player

It’s so awesome that Gary Thorne is back calling hockey again. Even if only for a couple of weeks.

Just imagine How better off we would be had we not had a cold war. Goddamn post ww2 government and those commie bastards
December 28th, 2010 at 10:38 AM
No, not like that, more like punching out another player from behind.
SG and CJ, as hockey fans I recommend going back and watching some of the Summit Series. There is box set available.
/Bobby Clarke should have been arrested
December 28th, 2010 at 10:39 AM
it was a joint effort…without ultra right wing conservatism, we’d never have been paranoid enough to design a plane that costs $42 mil a pop effectively wrecking the soviet economy if they tried to keep up.

Where’s Fetch? Is Finland’s JR team any good? I’m worried it took USA OT to beat them.

December 28th, 2010 at 10:44 AM
that’s right. i think the acid in glenn beck’s tears also contributed.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:45 AM
SG, Finland is the toughest team the US will face in pool play. They aren’t expected to medal but can’t be overlooked. Finns got a good goaltending effort.
The States looked a little out of sync at times, which isn’t unexpected in the early games.
Canada and Russia both looked poor for much of their game.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:46 AM
and bono.
December 28th, 2010 at 10:48 AM
Vlad, I enjoy how you anf Fetch cheer against the red & white. Smells like fear.
CJ, I’m on my phone, or I’d provide linkage. Go to youtube and watch Clarke’s slash on Kharmalov (sp).
