Read all Tolkein's books and seen all Jackson's movies. I think he could have possibly pulled 2 movies out of this by stretching it out but 3 is too much. Jackson's no god- King Kong needed a half hour edited out and early reviews are saying The Hobbit suffers from this padding too. Early reports had Jackson planning it as 1 movie but I assume 2 trips to NZ by 2 Hollywood execs with 2 big bags full of money convinced him otherwise.

She's actually an ex-student of mine- lovely girl. I've read people complaining about her arms and now her knees. She was in the soft tennis club during junior and high school, training about 4 hours a day (and all day on weekends!). That kind of training will shape your body in certain ways. She's spent years trying to take off that tennis player's form but I guess it'll never be enough for the haters. Luv ya Ayako- I know how hard you've worked to get where you are.

Lots of commentors bashing Mac's fries and going on about how they can't believe they're #1. Read the question asked in the poll again- this was only voting on FAST FOOD fries. How many nationwide chains of fast food restaurants (not family restaurants) are even in Japan that serve fries? Not that many. This was a popularity vote more than anything.

OK, here we go: It's called SATIRE. This isn't serious- it's sarcasm and was supposed to be taken as such. Johnathon Swift? A modest proposal ring any bells? You've at least watched the Colbert Report right?

Van Helsing? Really? I watch John Carpenter's 'The Thing' every summer- so chilled. Also, the Finnish film 'Let The Right One In' will keep your inner core cool; it's American remake 'Let Me In' is also pretty good and easier to track down.

@t Riffraff. "Has"? I suggest you throw away your National Enquirers circa 1997 as your choice of bathroom reading material. RDJ has been straight for years now. He's a good actor who is well-liked by fans the world over and is a consistantly bankable leading man; that's why he stars in multi-million dollar Hollywood blockbuster movies, and not, as you unintentionally amusingly put it, because he has some "really good dirt on someone".

Well, let's see... It might be because South Korea's Captain was running around the field recklessly intimidating and attempting to injure players on the Japanese team. The official thought so too- which is why he was carded, twice! Sorry if I'm not "happy" with that.

It was obvious that Sawa wasn't 100% at the tournament; she hadn't fully recovered from her injury. I'm lucky enough to witness part of the next generation of Japanese women's soccer everyday and they look like future world-beaters to me.

@t basroil: I thought that was just me seeing that- the Korean Captain was carded twice, deservedly. Maybe Olympic rules are different but I thought he would be gone for sure. Would've been a different game if he wasn't out there running around like a wild man. I think Japan's game plan was "don't get killed". It calmed down after the 1st goal but still, I think the Korean team were behaving like schoolyard bullies. Mind you Japan kept up with them in the category of flopping, most noticably right before the first goal. Bronze medalists in boys soccer.

I agree, and unless the post has been deleted by the mods, where was that said? It must be somewhere up there because you've got it in quotes.
