I hated Connery in the 3rd one.

The ending of the third one is pretty damn good.

I only like the part where the guy says, "You chose...poorly."

Are these spoiler-type thoughts? If not, I'd like to hear them.

Gina Torres rocks. She was also in Angel and Alias.

She was also amazing in the one season of Huge, but I think I'm the only person I've ever met who actually watched it. I mean, it had David Hasselhoff's daughter in a starring role, WHY wasn't this show more of a hit?

You are the Terrell Suggs of Lawtalkers. Except we don't find it endearing or amusing.

Suggs's famously thorough devotion to studying game film helps him to identify any of these subtle movements before each play. So the Ravens' defensive players say they have what amounts to Suggs in their ear at all times.

Suggs also just likes yelling. He loves yelling random movie quotes as much as he does helping players make strategic adjustments.

thanks for having my back, my brother!

I don't really see him as hipster. He's all fashionista, if you want my opinion. (Yeah, I know; you don't.)

I'm honestly not sure what you would object to about the third one.

The really, really sad thing in this thread is that when I was a college kid, caring this much about Star Wars or Indiana Jones was viewed as geeky. And I'm way old.

Looks like a theater geek to me. LA hipsters look nothing like that.

So the context is that this was towards the end of the game. Chelsea needed two goals to move on in the tournament. The ball went out of bounds, and a ball boy pounced on it. Hazard went to retrieve it, and the kid clutched tighter. So Hazard kicked the ball / ball boy. Ball pops out, he throws it in.

Kid writhes on the ground, play is stopped, and things are "sorted out." Hazard is red carded. Swansea goes on to the final of the tournament. Kid and father got taken to the Chelsea dressing room after the game to ward off litigation.

More information: Kid is 17 years oldish. He was definitely trying to help Swansea by wasting clock time. (Speculation on my part, but I'm guessing the kid probably plays soccer at a near professional level, and knew exactly what he was doing.) Chelsea is having an okish season. This tournament isn't that big of a deal, but it's something. They're out of Champions League. They're still in FA cup, and they're third in EPL, but pretty far back from Man U. They lost recently to QPR. This wasn't that big of a game, but it was the last leg of the semi-final. I imagine that a kick from someone who kicks professionally is pretty painful. I also imagine that someone who kicks professionally is pretty accurate in his aim at ball vs. flesh. I suspect that acting on the part of the ball boy may have played a role in the reaction, but I concede that he may have been kicked and it may have hurt. I also concede that he may have been shocked that the soccer player could have given a shit about his body getting in the way of the ball.

Is this something worth getting up in arms about?

There are plenty of other videos out there if you want to look at it closer. I chose this one because it was the events as they happened (on TV anyways), rather than analysis after the fact.
