Everything Else / Re: MJ Dies, age 50

I agree with the others that I don't think he ever molested any kids.  I believe that he did have an image problem, he was never happy with his appearance. 

I think he had a pretty terrible childhood and never really got to grow up, and simply went the peter pan route.  When he saw himself with kids he thought of himself as one and a relationship that may seem odd or strange to a mature adult was normal to him. 

Who knows really, I know I was also hoping to see him on a US tour as well.

This tweet sums up my feelings perfectly. It was way sadder when he went crazy than when he died.

I agree with this.

Me and my mom were talking today how when Thriller came out way back when, I was like six.  I actually used my own money and that was the first cassette I ever bought.  We went to the mall when it was released and I was doing my six year old version of breakdancing with the other dancers at the release. 

I listened to that tape every day, could do the thriller dance, moonwalk and learned to pop and lock, but never got the red thriller jacket I always wanted.  I did have a glove though.

Me and my wife and kids sat tonight and watched nearly al of his videos and the guy was what I would say the consummate performer...Then the plastic surgery, strangeness and the kiddie crap.  I feel like I lost my idol when that happened.

On another note why does my little posting window freak out when I go this low I can't see what I am typing?

I would be interested in something like this.  I used to do a lot of forum RPGing in the olden days.

Movies and TV / Re: Coolest movie scenes of all time

The Parkour stuff from the opening of James Bond was really good as well.  On to the topic...

The lawnmower scene from Dead Alive, The Last 20 minutes of Hot Fuzz, "Stuck in the Middle With You" scene from Reservoir Dogs, Goonies water slide, Matrix when Neo and Trin rescue Morpheus.

This could go on forever, these are just some from the movies I have watched the last couple of days.

Movies and TV / Re: Best Adam Sandler Movie

I voted for Wedding Singer, mainly for the eightys music and my total love for Drew.  In the scene where she is singing 99 red luft ballons in the mirror she is so so cute. 

I love Sandler and I am really looking forward to Funny People, I think he does semi-serious pretty well.  I am glad someone mentioned Chuck and Larry, funny and with a message.

Site News / Re: Introduce yourself - right on!

Ok, I have been lurking here for a few months now, and decided to finally start posting something.  I decided I should get this out of the way first.

My name is Ricky and I am 30 years old.  I currently live in a small town in Arkansas that barely registers on a map.  I am married with three boys and I do web design work while working retail.  Like so many here I am a writer, but unlike so many here I am currently unsuccessful at actually finishing anything. 

I have been reading sci/fi fantasy since I was quite young, when my uncle gave me Enders Game, The Hobbit, and the first Dragonlance Chronicles book for Christmas.  I like to read other generes as well and count myself as a rather large Stephen King fan.  As of recently I also consider myself a Brandon Sanderson fan.  I am a movie buff and I can kick some serious tail at movie trivia style games.  I haven't done too much D&Ding, (never been around really anyone else that played, IT WAS EVIL (As my mother and others used to say)), I love video games and love being able to share them with my boys now.

I found this site by way of The Wheel Of Time, which I have been reading since I picked up The Dragon Reborn in the new releases section at the library.  That was many, many years ago, and when I found out Brandon or EUOL as he is known here was finishing the series I had to check him out.  Read Elantris, was blown away, checked out his site, found Writing Execuses, Read Mistborn, again blown away and fell in love with Vin, and wound up here.

Like I said I have been lurking for a while.  I just read Blacker Darkness BTW, and thought it was nearly on par with anything by Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett.
