  1. I really enjoyed MI: Ghost Protocol. Lot's of action and standard unrealistic scenarios, but cool gadgets, scenery, filmography and a couple of subtle comedic moments that make you laugh.Spoiler:

    My biggest problem with the movie, as unrealistic as these are anyways, was that the Russians were able to fire a nuclear missile from the ocean and it made it all the way to the US impact zone without a single counter action or alert taken. Pffft.

  2. After several months with little to know news on the whereabouts or standing of Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet, Absolute Poker co-founder Brent Beckley made headlines in the mainstream press by turning himself in to authorities and pleading guilty to counts of conspiracy to violate the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) and conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud.The Wall Street Journal’s Chad Bray reported on the story early on Tuesday and states that Beckley, 31, could face up to a year and a half in prison as opposed to potentially 30 years, the possible maximum sentence for bank fraud charges. The story also reports that Beckley told the Manhattan federal presiding over the hearing, “I knew it was illegal to accept credit cards from players gambling on the Internet. I knew it was illegal to deceive banks in this way.”full story on Bluff's website ... http://news.bluffmagazine.com/ap-co-founde...-charges-25629/

  3. LA Reid's criticism of it that it wasn't exciting was the most absurd criticism of the year and that's saying something with Nicole and Paula on the show.
    I stopped listening to LA Reid after he quipped to Simon "You’re doing songs for people that are 40. Why are you doing songs that are so old?" after Drew sang Skyscraper.I was like WTF, that's a Demi Lovato song and she is all of what, 17, 18?Ignorance.
  4. Someone explain this to me?http://www.lvrj.com/news/ex-wife-of-poker-...-135846023.htmlSo Ivey assumes 15 million in debt and wife not only is debt free, but gets millions of dollars in property up front as well as over 2 million per year in alimony?How does this even come close to making sense?Take wealth, debt, etc out of the equation all together for a minute. How does a poker players wife get 2.16 million per year in alimony??????

  5. I lol'd when I saw the challenge for Ozzy & Brandon. They made it a little too obvious the producers wanted Ozzy back in the game. Who can hold on to a pole the longest.I thought Russell looked terrible last night by just being himself. He didn't have to hit a man when he was already down (his nephew of all people). I guess it was to be expected but his ego just poured out in the 30sec he got to talk with no sympathy for Brandon at all. Kind of shows he has no heart for others and I can imagine they had a lot of phone calls with the F word getting thrown around.
    again, i think he prefaced it well. There are two different responses. Do you want Uncle Russell to respond or do you want Survivor Russell to respond.
  6. Predictable ending, hate that Ozzy didn't win final immunity, hated his 'for the kids out there' speech even more. Coach should have taken Rick, taking Sophie was insane.I felt really really really bad for Brandon at reunion. Yeah, he's crazy and did not play a good game of Survivor, but he stayed true to himself and what he believed in and that says something. For his family to 'abandon' or not support him is just sad. I think Russell started to make a great point about being Uncle Russell or Survivor Russell and how one is a game character and not a representation of him in real life or the Hantz name. He did not have enough time to make his full point and came off looking like the really bad guy again.i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the idea of One World. wow, what a game changer that will be. Living at the same camp 'with the enemy'. Strategy will be totally different based on tighter relationships between both tribes, isolating people by not sharing food or sharing resources, etc. People will constantly be balancing that 'stay loyal to your tribe until the merge' mentality with not completely destroying their chances of alliances after the merge.

  7. Edit- IMO It's also dumb for him to do it right as tribal counsel begins. You're giving people time to figure out what to do now as opposed to possibly being able to survive due to the 'shock' factor I guess.
    This ^^^ I mean if you are going to make such a ridiculous move, wait til after the talking and after the voting and see how you feel then.
    I would have been on monkey tilt if they voted out Sophie. I like her... plus I'd hit it.
    wtf, really?Sophie is extremely smart, her line about everyone on the Jury going through Ozzie's pleasure palace or whatever she said was dead on.CAN'T WAIT TIL THE REUNION SHOW AND JEFF ASKS RUSSELL WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT BRANDON GIVING ALBERT THE IDOL!
  8. Marcus needs to go home.Chris Rene secondMelanie Amaro thirdJosh Krackalackinjic should win, but Melanie will.I listened to that version of Hallelujah 3 times last night. Amazing. Josh and Chris both have the "X-Factor"I would vote Melanie hands down if this was American Idol and they were just looking for the best singer.

  9. A little thing called the pacific ocean.
    yeah, but I imagine that's pretty cold nearly year round and not something you can just jump into when ya want.I can't find one reason outside of the financial to leave an established job at a city I love, kids go to school, few hours from family, established poker biz, etc.west coast is probably falling into the ocean soon anyways and that would suck to be there when that happened.
  10. Wow. Nycole is going to be kicking herself for that. Although personally, I like Marcus' voice more than Rachel's
    Heres my problem with what Nicole did last night.....When I watched them actually singing on the performance night I did not think Rachel Crow stood out any more than Marcus and I would have been fine with either of them going home based on their performances.But there is NO WAY IN HELL that Marcus came even CLOSE to having a better save me performance. I mean Rachel absolutely KILLED IT, one of her best performances to date. What is the point in having a save me song if the judge(s) are not going to use that to influence or make their decision on who to send home. Nicole totally copped out and missed the entire point of the save me song.I was not happy with Rachel getting voted off based on last nights performance. The judges have pretty much saved Marcus 3 weeks in a row. At what point are they going to say 'look, America is not voting for this guy therefor we need to listen as they are probably not going to be lining up in droves to buy his albums'
  11. Is the Michael Jackson fan love vs. pedophilia not one of the more intriguing phenomenons in modern pop culture?Here we have an amazing talent. Arguably the best singer/entertainer of all time. People love him so much that they completely wont even listen to the fact he was an abused, emotionally disturbed human being that became a pedophile.His music is so universally liked that people overlook what is probably the most hated crime in existence. That has always been intriguing to me. Personally I never stopped listening to his music. But as a person I thought he was a disgusting piece of dog shit.

  12. came to a few conclusions last night.No way Melanie Amaro doesn't win.I would never purchase a Melanie Amaro song.I would never pay to see any of these contestants in concertTwo people I would be most likely to buy songs from are Chris Rene and Josh Krackalackinjic.If Rachel Crow says "Thank you, thank you so much" with that fake surprised expression one more time I may go postal.I absolutely HATE the chemistry between all the judges.

  13. Only thing to add is that I thought it was ridiculous that Brandon's dad was trying to negotiate his son's future in the game with Coach. Trying to bully the top dog in the game is generally a bad idea and I don't think it helped Brandon at all. Probably sealed his ticket home. He's got to play the card that says "Look Coach, I got no chance of winning but you should consider taking me to the end because I can help you win a million dollars."
    agree 100%Was I the only one hoping Brandon's friend/family member was going to be Russell? would have been awesome to see Russell telling Brandon to stop being a lil bitch and start playing the game
