Run UMPIRES RUN (Boston and Yankees game)

[ChrisXE]

phew the Ump's from the yankees and boston game will need protection after the game EVEN though they made the RIGHT calls. That thing A-Rod did was very unsportsman like, jeez I hate the Yankees, go SOX!!

[Rig]

I'm also a fan of Boston.

[Jaket]

A-rod is a sleez

[Storamin]

A-Rod didn't even duff him like a man. The way he did it, I thought he was a girly man!!

[biggestinuyashafan]

that was a good call. the yankees are a bunch of cheaters. i hope the sox win.

[Johnny Postman]

Stupid move by Ahole-Rod. If he was going to try and bust up the play he should have just plowed into the guy since he was right on the baseline.

[EddieBelfour]

yankee haters in the place to be. i didnt SEE it, i Heard it on the radio, but after seeing the replay i agree. that was strange to see one of baseballs best players do it. still they aren't cheaters- they just win. its in their nature. and dont pull that paycheck doo-doo.

[rockhero]

What a dick A-Rod is.

[ChrisXE]

lol lord UMPS are getting togother again, to challenge the call safe at first base with cabrea(sumthiong like that)

[Heyricochet]

A-rod slap, PLAY OF THE GAME according to FOX. Hilarious.

[ChrisXE]

phew I hate that purple lipp A-rodd, why is his lipps always purple?

[EddieBelfour]

riot gear. this is very american.

[ChrisXE]

holy shyt got the RIOT squad now, this is getting good

[EddieBelfour]

where the f is team america.

[dcfox]

I can't believe they called the cops out. I don't remember the last time fans have charged the field in any sports game.

those crazy rednecks at that kc game last year i think?

[fieldkillah]

Best Playoff game ever!

[Jaket]

hahaha riot control..... this is classic

alex rodriguez is a-rod

get it? like a male sex organ? hehe

[mykevermin]

I can't believe they called the cops out. I don't remember the last time fans have charged the field in any sports game.

Don't forget the Mets' infamous "Disco Riot." At least, I think it was the Mets.

myke.

[Rodimus]

:argue:

Sox vs Yanks

Go Sox

[Ledhed]

Man, too bad I'm not into sports. Otherwise, this would be really interesting.

[ChrisXE]

bottom of the ninth with yankees up, but sox are up 4 to 2. COme on SOX hang on to this one

[Heyricochet]

Can they do whats never been done before? The drama builds....

[EddieBelfour]

Man, too bad I'm not into sports. Otherwise, this would be really interesting.

clever. how's that working for you?


(name the flick and get props)

(ps- it's easy)

[cag1000]

all ny teams suck balls
embarass their asses with a history making comeback i say

9th inning game 6 hope they all die

go boston

That's not a riot squad, it's the Brewers. They finally figured out how to make it onto the field for a playoff game!

Cause they meet on a nude beach and not on a plane, though I think the plane works much better for the story.

Although I really love the dialogue in the plane scene, I actually like the nude beach better. I love the fact that Tyler spends hours assembling the sand sculpture, only to sit in it's shadowed palm for a minute, and then be done with it.

Actually this was the Chicago White Sox Disco Demolition back in 1979 and not the Mets...so give my team some credit.

[GTZ_NSR]

Bottom 9 and now the homeplate ump is sucking pretty bad. Just miss-called three perfect pitches

[sj41]

I actually like the nude beach better.Why am I not suprised? :wink:

The beach scene is great, but it would be a little slow for that point in the film. Especially if they went into the whole birthmark thing and wanted to include that there.

While at his recent appearance at the Chicago Book Fair, Chuck said that Survivor movie now WILL be made into a film! It sounds like the Paltrow screenplay is out, since he said the "hot duo" behind the upcoming Constantine (Keanu Reeves) want Survivor to be their next project. He did say that they were still seeking the rights to adapt the screenplay, but who knows how long until actual filming begins. Sounds interesting!" (http://www.chuckpalahniuk.net/survivor.php)

My sentiments exactly. I simply love the plane scene, it's paced perfectly.

As for that second part, OMFG finally. I remember hearing about this way back when, glad to see it may finally come to fruition.

BTW, sorry for the threadjack fellas, it was not my intent. :wink:

[Heyricochet]

FIRST TEAM EVER TO FORCE GAME 7 FROM 3-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ledhed]

Whatever happened to the Choke movie that was supposed to be made? I'm all for bastardization of great novels.

Unless it's rated NC-17, I don't see a film version of Choke happening anywhere in the near future.

I'm guessing that's the reason we haven't seen more films based on Chuck Palahniuk books; most of them would be kind of hard to get R ratings.

Yes! Game 7! Go Sox!

[ayolykewhoa]

Amazing! I'm simply out of breath

[Heyricochet]

Only 4 hours tonight, not bad.

I've read everything up to Monsters, and it's definitely the weakest. I really hope they don't fuck up Survivor, it deserves better.

If they get Survivor right, it could replace Fight Club as my favorite movie.

[mykevermin]

Actually this was the Chicago White Sox Disco Demolition back in 1979 and not the Mets...so give my team some credit.

Well, yes, sorry for the mistake. I should have known better than to think anything of note happened within the vicinity of the Mets.

myke.

[GuilewasNK]

I can't believe they called the cops out. I don't remember the last time fans have charged the field in any sports game.

That's why they called the cops out, so you wouldn't remember tonight as a night fans charged the field. It has happened in the US but it is VERY rare. Thank God we don't have riots like they sometimes have in soccer overseas.

For once, the officials didn't deserve any grief. They did a superb job getting the right calls made.

[evilpenguin9000]

Yay Sox, boo yanks.

I'm scared of more Palahniuk-based movies. There just is no way they can make them as good as Fight Club. I don't want to be disappointed, ya know.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Yeah, but what if? That's what keeps me going, the thought of a Survivor movie just as good or better than Fight Club.

That's the hope, but what are the odds. We all know that Hollywood has a way of screwing up good storylines. I offer Congo as a point of reference.

[vrs1650]

Say what you want about AROD, that was a ballsy heads up play that almost worked. And no I am not a Yankee fan, but I do know my baseball.

[ryanbph]

hopefully we won't have any problems tonight at the game...I would hate to see the sox win, and have an angry mob after them

[secretvampire]

Say what you want about AROD, that was a ballsy heads up play that almost worked. And no I am not a Yankee fan, but I do know my baseball.

Uhhhh...how was it heads up? Instead of moving Jeter into scoring position, instead Jeter got stuck on first base because of the call. It was basically the same thing as ARod striking out. Pretty dumb if you ask me.

[ryanbph]

swinging with his hands was not a heads up play, that was just stupid, now if he slid under arroyo and collided with mikewitz, that would have been interference on the sox, and the rules of baseball only talk about using ones hands or fists being illegal...it says nothing about one using their feet...he should have dropped kicked arroyo J/K

[ryanbph]

speaking about umpires, does anyone know what the MLB written rule on a called check swing strike is?

[vrs1650]

Well lets see, he did the best he could with putting the bat on the ball, so it must be better than a strikeout. Now since he already hit the ball, he had a few options, One run it out and be called out at first, two slide and try to beat arroyo to the bag, stop or try and go around arroyo, or try and knock the ball out of Arroyo's hand. The play was heads up, it is the execution that sucked. If he hadn't made it so obvious it would be runner on second and down by one.

[goukill1120]

I'm suprised no one brought this up but if arod would've just gotten tagged then it have just been 2 outs and Jeter run still counts.

[vrs1650]

Jeter would not have score if Arod was tagged, at best he may have made it to third.

That's the hope, but what are the odds. We all know that Hollywood has a way of screwing up good storylines. I offer Congo as a point of reference.

Frankly, I'm suprised that Congo even worked in book form.

[Backlash]

Congo was a good book. The movie totally ruined it.

I like almost all Stephen King books (his older ones, anyway). I think I have hated every movie based off of them except The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me (which were actually short stories, not novels).

[Backlash]

I can't believe they called the cops out. I don't remember the last time fans have charged the field in any sports game.

Happens ALL the time in College Football, and it's lots of fun. Of course, more and more schools are getting fancy goalposts that lower themselves so that the students can't tear them down.

Congo was a good book, but far from Crichton's best work. But if you tried to explain the plot to someone who hadn't read the book they'd think it was shit.

The only things Stephen King that I've read so far have been some older short story collections. I've been meaning to check out Dark Tower though.

Coincidentally Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me (the Body) are out of the same book. I've heard good things about Apt Pupil, which is also from the same book. I think the only good Stephen King horror story that got turned into a movie was the Shining and Carrie.

[Backlash]

The Shining is probably my favorite, closely followed by It (It was one of the worst movies EVER).

Apt Pupil is a decent story, but the movie is fairly dumb. It really made my friends and I laugh more than anything - watching it was like MST3K for us :)

If you like Crichton, try Preston and Childs (co-authors, not two separate ones). I recommend The Relic (again, turned into a really shitty movie) and Rip Tide especially.

If you haven't read The Shining, you really should. It is excellent. The Dark Tower series is OK, but not his best work. I never even read books 4 and 5.

The dark tower is the best series of books I have ever read. Although it ties in with about 15 of his other books so to get the full effect you have to read those as well

Another good collection of short stories is night shift. It's a collection of short stories and I think about 8 or 9 of them have been turned into movies. The lawnmower man was also in it but that doesn't count because the only thing the movie had in common with the book was one scene.
Heres a list of the movies
Children of the corn
maximum overdive is based off the story trucks
sometimes they come back
the mangler
graveyard shift

And I believe another story in there as well got turned into a movie quite an accomplishment for one book if you ask me

[Backlash]

I just remembered another ok movie based of a Stephen King story - The Running Man. Though the two didn't really have a whole lot in common, and the book was MUCH better.

Best part of the movie:

When the old lady bets on Arnold, because "He is one mean mother-fuc ker" (or something like that, I'm too lazy to look up the exact quote).

[sblymnlcrymnl]

I think I've read Skeleton Crew, Night Shift, and maybe Nightmares and Dreamscapes. Not sure about that one, it's been a long time. It's possible I just checked it out from the library and never got around to reading it.

Yep he wrote that one under his pseudonym Richard Bachman. I preferred the book as well but that is par for the course with King besides Shawshank the only movies made off his books I like are It and the Stand although both movies were not as good as those books

[Backlash]

Oh yeah, The Stand miniseries for TV was pretty good, I forgot about that one.

Speaking of which, did you see the miniseries (6 hours) they did for The Shining? Stephen King wrote the screenplay, so it was much closer to the book then the Jack Nicholson version. I really enjoyed it, though the fact that "Brain" from the TV show Wings was the father took me a little while to get over :)

Id love to see the Dark Tower made into something. It would take so many hours it would really need a full tv season instead of just a mini series. If you guys like King you really need to read some of Dan Simmons. Simmons is similar to king but writes better. King even said in an interview when asked which book written by a modern author that he wishes he wrote . He mentioned one of simmons books. Simmons also writes a mean Sci fI book and mystery/crime novel. He is my favorite author and just unbelievable gifted

[Backlash]

Thanks for the tip - I will check him out for sure. I'm at the library pretty much every week :)

Carrion comfort is a good horror book to start with the Hyperion series is good if you want to check out his SCI FI
