    The 100 Worstest Things Ever: A Rip-Off

    100


    Limited Theatrical Releases




    While we may have free health care, high-paying job opportunities for teachers and a huge abundance of marijuana, beer and maple syrup, one thing Canada gets consistently shafted with is movie releases.

    Sure, you can go anywhere you want and see Transformers on 20 screens playing every 15 minutes. But when something like No Country For Old Men comes out - which already has the most Oscar buzz of any movie this year after having been released to the public 48 hours ago - we once again get the short straw and we quite possibly have to wait for DVD.

    It pisses me off so much that I can say without a doubt that there are only about 99 things in the world that I dislike more than limited theatrical releases.

    iosos PMed me asking if he could do a Top 100 Worst list after my list was done.

    Him and meg can combine their lists into one thread to avoid clutter.

    Nah, whatever, I'd rather avoid any potential future conflict.

    iosos apparently had the idea first, so it's his.

    I laughed.




    Go on, Braden. Your lists will probably have completely different things. Go for yours, but don't post any gross photos, please.

    It's yours, meg. I was gonna wait until Wats was finished, but you were quick to the game, and hey... I'm an old man. Your youthful up-and-at-'em has ousted me. Natural selection has claimed another victim. So go 'head. It'll be one less thing I have to worry about.

    But the fact that you PM'ed Watashi about it means you must have had some ideas.

    I feel like I'm pulling the proverbial carpet out from underneath you.

    Would you like to do the dual list, like Wats and Scar suggested?

    Are you sure?

    I actually called the AMC 24 - the theatre nearest me - earlier this afternoon and they said it wasn't on their list of releases, right up to Christmas.

    According to Box Office Mojo, yes. And the one AMC theatre near me gets all the best releases (they got Jesse James on opening day), so that is very odd. Is there a Famous Players branch close to you? They usually get all the new wide releases.

    Well, here's hoping for the best then. It's one I've been looking forward to for a while...almost as much as I Am Legend

    Fighting over lists is super lame-o.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Poker on TV




    I enjoy playing cards - with or without others. Solitaire. Poker. Cribbage. Halo 3. But one of the lamest things I have ever seen in my life is televised poker games.

    I didn't think anything could be more boring than watching golf on TV...this is one fact of life I felt almost sure about.

    But then televised poker came along and totally shook this rock solid foundation of my life, leaving me feeling completely vulnerable and unsure of anything.

    In the words of Invader ZiM...CURSE YOU!!!!
