Honestly, I'm not an "Artist formerly known as Prince" fan, so I didn't care for the half-time show. But then, I can't recall a Super Bowl half-time show that I have liked.

It wasn't my favorite halftime show but I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was.

I can't believe his makeup didn't smear in all that rain

Well, it wasn't real rain, it was PURPLE RAIN!

There is wayyyy too much Gloria Estefan on your above list. Plus she was around for that huge waste of time they showed before the SB this year. I think that proves that the SB has been in Miami too much - let's keep it over in San Diego & LA at the Rose Bowl or Coliseum (no need to come back to Detroit either, as much fun as that was to have over here, it should be in a good weather outdoor stadium).

You mean No Seattle?

Doug Knox · Post by **Doug Knox** » Thu Feb 08, 2007 12:30 pm

Maybe Seattle can have it every 20 years or so.

I always thought it would be great to have a Superbowl in the snow. Maybe have it in Buffalo or Alaska. That would be "real" football in the white powder on the ultimate day...

As inspired by a recent post of Fisherrock.... Let's hear everyones top 3 (or more) movies with atleast one sequel.

My top 5

5.Shrek - I just can't get enough of that talking Donkey
4.Lord of the Rings - I still haven't read the book but those were great movies.
3.Back to the Future - Each installment was just great!
2.Godfather - Godfather could be the best movie ever made!
1.Saw - Maybe because this is freshest in mind - I just love all 3 installments.

I'm not a fan of Star Wars but i'm sure it's great too. Spiderman is pretty close to knocking Shrek off my list.

Post by **Gwen Johnson** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 3:30 pm

Hmmm...
I like most of the movies you mentioned (especially LotR), but I'll add a few more...

1. Star Wars

I had to...
2. X-Men
3. Spiderman
4. Going My Way
5. Lethal Weapon

I could add more, but I'll leave some for others to choose.

Casey Fisher · Post by **Casey Fisher** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 4:07 pm

Good work Roops. You probably should have gave this its own thread… Great choices as well you two... Anyways, here are my Top 5:

Spiderman – looking forward to the 3rd one this summer!!!
The Naked Gun – Leslie Nielson was and still is the man.
Back to the Future – Michael J. Fox at his finest
American Pie – Not a family friendly trilogy for this family friendly site, but I love the Sophomoric humor.
Rocky – I loved 1-4, part 5 was terrible, Rocky Balboa (Rocky 6) finished this series out right.

LOTR
Alein's II

300

Spiderman III
Shriek III

I miss Heroes right now.
I miss the Office.
Lost is finally getting better. I love the buried alive action. A good episode.

Laurie Roberts · Post by **Laurie Roberts** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 7:39 pm

Last night's Lost was a good one. I hate to admit it, but I didn't figure it out the paralysis angle until it was basically spelled out. I should have seen it coming earlier.

Jen Derbyshire · Post by **Jen Derbyshire** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 8:19 pm

Neither did I! And, Oh! When she opened her eyes in the last seconds as the dirt was being thrown- that was horrifying!

I am missing Heroes too! I can't handle all of this suspense!

Mike Nordin · Post by **Mike Nordin** » Sun Apr 15, 2007 10:18 pm

One week until Heroes starts up again.
Lost is gettin better. How many who watch the show knew she was still a bad guy? Siad will straighten things out, you'll see.

Jen Derbyshire · Post by **Jen Derbyshire** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 7:34 am

She's just so shady- from the second she and Kate woke up cuffed together, I knew she was up to something. I think Jack only trusts her so easily because she looks so much like his ex-wife. I felt bad for Sawyer, he was finally going to get to be the good guy for once and then Jack comes back in all high and mighty. And, I do hope Sayid gets to Juliette before THE OTHERS come back.

I am also super excited for the return of Heroes next week. I need to watch the last episode so I can catch back up, though. The breaks in shows like this help drive the suspense but they also drive me crazy!

Mike Nordin · Post by **Mike Nordin** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 10:17 am

Ditto on all that. Sayid is my favorite character. He's the only one who really has their crap together.
