And of course you have Samuel L. Jackson who sounds like he was born to use the F word. "That's IT! I've had enough of these Mother-F'in snakes on this Mother-F'ng plane!!!!"
yes... sadly, I'm probably the only one posting here tonight who saw that movie. I was indulging my 17 yr old son. It actually wasn't half as bad as I expected... don't get me wrong... it was BAD. But, nowhere near as STUPID as I expected.... just... freaky...

Last week I had the opportunity to meet and hear Chris Gardner speak at a sales meeting we had in Orlando. The guy was UNBELIEVABLE!!
I tell you this guy is the real deal and was incredibly inspirational in every aspect of life but especially his will and drive to break the cycle of black fathers not being there for their children.
Unbelievable man and human.

Her song was from Al Gore's film. She said being green was not a Republican or Democrat issue, not red or blue. I thought it showed some class all things considered. People are more likely to scream that she thanked her wife and four kids.
