Happy Independence Day!

Nothing beats a spectacular national holiday occurring on a Friday - likely meaning good eats and a three day weekend for most of you out there.  Today is Independence Day - somewhere, Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman and Randy Quaid are killing aliens, and millions of Americans are enjoying a beautiful day (well, it's beautiful in Western New York, at least).

Here's hoping that every Rumbler out there has a relaxing, safe and highly enjoyable holiday.  In fact, we hope that it's as beautifully poetic as this Roscoe Parrish punt return for a touchdown...

May I also just say that Gus Johnson is the absolute best sports announcer in the history of Planet Earth? That guy can create drama out of anything.

Yes, Yes, and YES

Love Gus. Love when he does Bills games. Love when he does college hoops games. I even watch Knicks games for Gus. He is the absolute greatest and I love his energy for every game he does….

Happy 4th all

The only problem with Gus Johnson...

His partner is Randy Cross.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

That's kind of like saying....

“Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how was the play?”

Cross is beyond horrible. I refuse to have the sound on when he’s calling a game. I’d put Rich Gannon in the same boat, and then find an iceberg to slam the boat into.

hahahahaha

that literally made me laugh out loud. And when you do that while talking to someone on the internet you have to tell them.

That is a Nick Thune reference for anyone curious.

Cool - I was wondering if anyone would catch that. Great movie...

Whenever anyone one of my friends (or I) get long winded, the phrase “is this another Macho Grande story?” comes up…

ditto the happy fourth

Eat some grill food and drink too much, but be careful not to blow yourself up.

Happy 4th and be safe

Remember to light it, then throw it. Please make sure to keep all of your fingers. I am counting on Brian, the Big 3, and all of you posters to be able to type. You can blow off all the toes you want!

I'm too scared of fireworks

I would never handle those. They scare the crap out of me and I don’t trust them to not blow up on me right when they are lit. I’ll let others handle fw’s for me, ha

My wife loved that clip

The only thing better would be the Bills whooping up on Brady in the same fashion.

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

Toss up

Watching Brady get pummeled or watching Julia…...I am thinking…....to tough a decision. Now I know why split screen technology was invented.

The 4th

My question is whether or not Idependence Day is the single worst film of the past 20 years. Sometimes I say Armageddon, but I just caught 10 minutes of Independence Day on cable and I think that just bumped it back up to the top…Trying to pick which is worse is like trying to pick who’s the least productive weapon in the Bills attack: Reed or Royal? Thinking about it too long puts me in danger of going Pacman Hardy on somebody.

Never forget 56-10. Revenge.

Rush Hour 3

is much worse than both of those. I watched about 15 minutes of that last night, and I am dumber because of it.

by Joe P. on Jul 4, 2008 4:35 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Any Rush Hour film, and Royal

You’ve got to know what you’re getting into when the lead role in a film is played by Jackie Chan. Either you like kung fu or you don’t. Forget about plot, characterization, depth, continuity. It’s all about the fight scenes.
And definitely Royal. Remember that catch Reed had in the final minute of the game in the win over Washington last year? Man, that was exciting. Better keep him around for another year.

Evidently you never had to sit through The Fountain.

At least things happen in Independence Day. The Fountain can make no such claim.

by Ron From NM on Jul 4, 2008 6:58 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Wow, yes...

I fast-forwarded at 4x (the fastest my DVD player still shows subtitles) the Fountain just about all the way through, and it was still boring at that speed.

And there are a ton of movies worse than ID4. How about Jumper? Or BloodRayne? (see this review) And, of course, nobody can forget Battlefield Earth. Unfortunately.
