    We need the audio of LaRoche (Chris Cooper) going off about his fascination and eventual lack of interest in fish. Play that before the game and just feel the emotion ;)

    No offense, am I the only person that has no clue what this post means....let alone the thread title? I'd ask the mods to move this thread to the proper forum but I wouldn't even know where it should go......random(drug induced) jibberish maybe? ;)

    i'm pretty sure he's referencing the movie adaptation that came out a month or so ago. i haven't seen it though so i don't know the scene he's talking about. i also don't know if this post was drug-induced.

    Ahhhh.....usagi, you're good. I guess i need a "the movie" in the thread title to get it. I thought it meant adaptation in general. Maybe I need to start smoking that chit. :D

    lol, hey is that movie any good? I wanted to kinda go see it. I loved the recruit by the way, if anyone wants to go see a good movie. I think I am changing the subject of this thread from smoking some illegal drugs to movies, but whatever:)

    actually its a pretty funny movie. its funny cause my girlfriend actually does a lot of the things the girl in the movie does to try to drive the guy away. i'm still with her though. i said i'd go see this movie as long as i could take her to see "old school" when that comes out.

    When it comes to cluelessness with contemporary movies, I'm your man.

    Wow, glad I wasn't totally alone on my movie reference :) I thought this movie was fairly popular, but then again, I don't usually jump for joy for the blockbusters.

    For those of you who haven't seen Adaptation, it is quite good. This isn't going to come out right (and really, There is this one scene where Meryl Streep is interviewing Chris Cooper about how he moves on to different interests. He talks about how he collects turtles, fossils and resurfacing mirrors, and then gets to fish.

    Paraphrasing here:

    "I once feel deeply in love with fish...had 60 tanks in my house. You name it, I had it. Then one day, I say **** fish. I RENOUNCE fish. I vow never to set another foot in the ocean, that's how much **** fish!"

    Streep asks, "But why?" and Cooper's simple response is, "Done with fish!"

    If you liked Being John Malkovich, chances are you'll like this too. And I am so excited for Old School it is unhealthy.

    No drugs were consumed for my usage of Big Soccer :)

    Are you saying it should be played before the start of games against the Galaxy or before every game?

    (I found this part hilarious too.)

    The LA games. Obviously this is in jest (unless censorship laws have become REALLY lax), but after hearing about Ruiz wanted to start initiating contact this year, this clip from the movie summed up my feelings :)

    By the way, Cage, Streep and Cooper all received nominations today for their work in Adaptation. The movie was also nominated for best adapted screenplay
