pony excess

I've been going through these lately. I loved 9.79 as well as I Still Hate Christian Laettner (because Duke just suck).

How the fuck are y'all leaving off Run, Ricky, Run?



I really liked the Fab 5 one. I watched that a couple times.

Just finished JIM AND ANDY. Amazing, incredible...a true journey to the dedication of a man and his craft.

Jim Carrey is a true genius.

:shock:
seriously?
did you know them well?
was this before or after the charges/documentary?
what's your take (to the extent you are comfortable discussing)?

Such an odd story. My takeaway was that the dad had harbored all sorts of bad thoughts for a long time, but had probably never acted on them; but felt so guilty that he just rolled over when the press descended on his life.
