I don't understand why people are surprised when these big superstars come out with affairs and such,

Yea, its pretty normal, sadly enough.

I don't know that people are really that surprised, but just more interested. Our culture is so mesmerized by the famous people, that we eat it all up, which in a way, makes famous people want to do more stupid things!

So you're saying that you just want to do them, and that you don't actually do them? I somehow don't believe this.

But if you do enough stupid things, preferably while being videotaped, you may actually get famous!

Its especially annoying with the ones that are supposed to be role models for young kids. I know that maybe they didn't want to be a role model, but they should take it a bit more seriously.

Like athletes? NFL and NBA players are pretty well known for being idiots and saying hey, I am not a role model. Even though they have no control over who idolizes them.

you ignorant hicks. Paint Your Wagon is a classic! Lee Marvin sings for God's sake! Lee ****ing Marvin! oh yeah that Clint Eastwood guy what was he ever on? Rawhide, that's it, nothing else. seriously how can you even think of Clint and not mention Sergio Leone. of course he's a great director, he's learned from the best over the years.

you people have no class!

First off, we never claimed to have class

Secondly, Lee Marvin? Please ...I've had farts that sounded better than him.

Thirdly, Clint Eastwood, Gran Torrino, period.

Clint Eastwood....The Good, the Bad, the Ugly. End of story. Those old westerns were awesome! I am trying to get my kids to watch them.

Well I'm not trying to act like that, but it is the most currently relevant movie if his, yeah he's made a myriad of awesome movies, there's a dang good reason why he has the reputation he does.

And of course I have magical farts...thought you would have known that by now :rolleyes:

record some! lol. can we make requests? if so i request a fart rendition of The Magical Mystery Tour by The Beatles.

i dunno, i think tG,tB,tU is almost too long. i liked Two Mules for Sister Sarah the most (not a Leone, i know, but still similar) closely followed by A Fistful of Dollars, it's sequal and Hang em High (not Leone).

i've been trying to do the same. i grew up watching old westerns and war movies, i tried to get my son to watch young guns 2 (not the best, but less violent that some and new-ish) and he was bored. i just got a bunch of ideas for horror movies to try him out on and a couple were black and white, wonder how he'll take them. first up was Gremlins and he loved it, think we'll travel backwards in time a bit till we get to something black and white.

How old is your son? I think that B&W is almost too much for this new generation to handle. And many of the old movies seem to move at a much slower pace than nowadays, which makes them tough to get in to for young people.

My kids are too young for those movies yet, but they do enjoy a lot of the old cartoons.

my daughter enjoys the a-team. it's our night time watching when she can't get to sleep. although she is too young to fully appreciate them.
Thats the big downside to my parents moving away and my brother moving onto the army base, they both had massive and i mean MASSIVE dvd collections i just used to borrow from, like a really big free video rental store, but now its too much of a pain

It may be true that B&W (and even older TV) is too much for this young generation. My kids love new Doctor Who (on since 2005), but will not watch the old ones and won't even come close to a B&W one. They are 15 & 12. Not enough action, I guess and they get bored very easily. The old Doctor Who's were in a 90 min format, all about characterization, dialogue and story. Today's Doctor Who is in a 45 min format and is all about colors, flashy sets, whiz-bang plots and noisy stuff. I like it, too, don't get me wrong. Anything with a guy who stole a time machine and travels about the universe is good in my book. But the show is far different than it was, even in 1989, when it went off the air the first time.

he's only 8 right now, but i've been working on him being a movie buff by showing him the "classics" we watched some of Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein on TV the other day (we get a cool over-the-air movie channel and he kinda liked that. he absolutely loves Young Frankenstein which i have on DVD, but who can blame him, it's great.

Netflix my man, it's great. their selection of the ones they offer streaming is getting huuuge. i watched some cheesy 80's horror (without my son) a couple weeks back. i was surprised at the selection.

Netflix is great, we got it last month, they have so much stuff on there!

My son is also 8, really too young to get into a lot of the good movies, but his time will come!
