"I used to be 'with it', but then they changed what 'it' was and now what I'm with isn't 'it' and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me"

You haven't lived until you've had a robot shart in your ear and followed along in the live setlist thread while it happens.

Butch Cassidy is a fun movie but it's really not even remotely worthy of its acclaim.

His eyes were clean and pure but his mind was so deranged

PIE-GUY

I love Butch Cassidy... I really do. But, come on. I'd be surprised if it gets a single vote.
I've been coming to where I am from the get go
Find that I can groove with the beat when I let go
So put your worries on hold
Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul

i wouldn't go that far. personally, i love it to pieces.

but no, The Godfather it ain't.

I've never seen any of the godfather movies and I don't plan to. My dad's been trying to get me to watch them for years, I just a) don't have the time and b) am not that into mob bullshit. Enjoy the only vote you'll get, Butch Cassidy.

I think I'm dumber for having read that post.

ETA: My room mate refuses to watch any of the Godfather movies. His personal favorites include: Scream, The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, and he spends most of his time watching South Park and Cartoon Network. He's a "Christian", but believes that God and Jesus are the same person. He refuses to get involved in politics, but is one of the most racist people I've ever met.
See the trend here? If you refuse to watch The Godfather, you're a piece of shit.

Relax, Just messing with you dude ;)

That being said, if you refuse to watch The Godfather, I think your vote has to be seriously questioned when it comes to a Final Four (where that movie will inevitably end up).
If we could see these many waves that flow through clouds and sunken caves...

I hope this is just a friendly because the score board will get ugly
We are all and we are all we are
Far flung bits of Sun and bits of Stars
From the  ocean from the land from the
beginning to end
Backwards forwards back toward
we belong

Sounds like you live with a really cool guy.  :wink:

No offense taken, I kind of expected a lot more hate. I've watched bits and pieces of the movies (my roommate in school had them on dvd and watched them all the time), nothing I've seen has ever gripped me enough to make me want to sit down and watch the whole thing(s).

If the final four matchup it gets is against a movie that I think highly of, then yes, I'll vote against it. I've never been into these sorts of movies (I've also never seen scarface, goodfellas, casino, etc.), it's not that I refuse to watch it, it just doesn't interest me. I'm sure it's a great film if you're into that sort of thing.

IMO, you are a fool...  GFI and GFII are the Thriller and DSOTM of movies...

Oh! That! No, no, no, you're not ready to step into The Court of the Crimson King. At this stage in your training an album like that could turn you into an evil scientist.

----------------------

I want super-human will
I want better than average skill
I want a million dollar bill
And I want it all in a Pill

you're wrong. it's a great film, period. being 'into' something isn't required, aside from one thing: you need to be into great films.
