Sam's Thread of Chattin' w/ Jake & Other Robust Subjects

[Mighty NorCal]

You didn't surprise me. The only way you could would be if you turned up on my doorstep. Even then I'd just tell you to fuck off, strange American person.

Sam, seen Green Zone? One word review: Okay.

and if I were to identify myself?

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Can't see me letting you in. I'm not a fan of visitors.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I came in this thread to see if you were banned. Turns out you're not. Sam, I can't put into words how much I miss you. On this forum that is, you're not really in my thoughts for 23 hours and 40 minutes of the day.

 

[Uncle Sam]

20 minutes is a more sizeable portion than I expected. Real life occurred. I know - I was surprised too.

Got Se7en on Blu-ray. Daren't watch it. What was the point of that, eh?

 

[Lee]

I heard you went to Hollyoaks

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I hear Seven on Blu-Ray looks like shit. Pretty much the exact opposite of how it's supposed to look.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I've taken an instant dislike to this one.

 

[Super Hans]

Hopefully he pulls the trigger.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I've taken an instant dislike to this one.

Who's that - Xfear?

Bought The Box and Wall Street on Blu-ray today. The Box because, hey, it might just turn out to be as good as Southland Tales (even with the absence of The Rock) and Wall Street because, hey, it's not like I'll ever get round to watching the sequel.

Also, I bought some pens. For writing.

 

[HBK-aholic]

I thought you'd died or something.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Sam , if only you'd said, I've got lots of pens you could've had.

Incest jokes don't go down well with uni folk, in case you impulsively decide to do film at university. Also is somebody says his films will change Hollywood and they tell you their ideas it makes you much more confident about the possibility of you having a career in Hollywood. Don't tell them what you really think of their ideas either. Big no-no apparently.

No, obviously not. For people with such bloody stupid haircuts, uni folk sure are fragile.

I know; you texted me. I made a Saw joke. Laughs were had.

 

[CH David]

I missed your quips, Sam. Just thought I'd let you know that.

 

[Uncle Sam]

You should know I became a New Jersey Devils fan while I was away. If they win the Stanley Cup, I have to get a Devils tattoo.

What's the Stanley Cup?

 

[Uncle Sam]

That's not so bad - though I'm assured they're shit and, if hockey's anything like football, they won't win anything.

 

[CH David]

The Devils are a good team.

This is the Stanley Cup. The prize of an NHL team who wins the Stanley Cup Finals (obviously).

If you happen to get bored and would like to read about it, here is the wikipedia link.

[Uncle Sam]

Cool. But seriously, they're not actually going to win it, are they? I'm a man of my word.

 

[CH David]

Maybe not this year, but they did win in the 2002-2003 season. They have generally been a good team the latter half of the '00 decade. So it wouldn't be surprising if they won in the next few years.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Intruiging. Which reminds me, I'm meant to check to see if ESPN carries NHL. Our ESPN, not your ESPN. Ours has free UFC pay-per-views. Does yours?

 

[CH David]

Free UFC pay per views? What are those?

Our ESPN does not have free UFC, but SportsCenter tells us highlights of the big fights. Come to think of it, ESPN doesn't cover hockey that much. Quick highlights and very rarely do they stay on the subject unless something out of the ordinary happened.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Like a game actually worth watching, eh? My, how droll of me.

 

[CH David]

I am quite the hockey enthusiast, so each are entertaining to me. ESPN only gives longer segments for the playoffs. It's understandable but the NHL needs to make a deal with ESPN badly.

However they will stay with hockey if a player gets his throat cut, which has actually happened. Or a goaltender fainted in a game last Friday.

 

[Tastycles]

Our ESPN America has Hockey. And college football, which is neither played in 6th form colleges nor is it football.

 

[Uncle Sam]

That doesn't make much sense at all.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Got the Deadwood box set. After watching the first season and a bit of the second, I'd rate it as follows:

Better than Breaking Bad.
