  • Pacino. Although both have fallen into caricatures of themselves in recent years ("Yelling" Pacino and "De Niro Squinty Face" De Niro). I think Godfathers I and II, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, Scarface and Looking for Richard really show a wider bredth of roles unlike De Niro who has a habit of playing the Bad Guy Psycho (The Fan, Cape Fear... *ugh*)... and what about all the stuff he's doing now where he just plays "De Niro mocking De Niro"? Can't stand it.

    Football. Alex Rodriguez is not worth five Marshall Faulks. The labor situation is still fucked up. That same boozer who sunk the Expos is now sinking the Marlins. And the most recent pseudo-strike showed how much both the Players and the Owners cared about the one group who would have needed help if baseball would have been suspeded: the consessions workers (Mr and Mrs "We barely make more than minimum wage to live in a shitty apartment"). Not a lick. The Yankees will still dominate (unlike where a team like the Rams have been dominant but have only one ring). Still no real drug testing. America's sport my ass. Football on the other hand realizes that everyone is getting rich and they don't mind sharing the wealth. Polar opposites in my opinion.

    Beer although it depends. I thought Chris McKendry had a good article where the argument of "Gwyneth Paltrow vs. Jennifer Aniston" was solved by "Jennifer would drink beer" while Paltrow would only drink mixed drinks. My family is a beer drinking one but I have to say I don't discriminate. I hate it when people only drink imports or microbrews as much as when people only drink 7 dollar Long Islands and White Russians. Whatever gets me shizzy is good with me.
    • Re:Your comment on Chris McKendry.

      The chick rocks. I usually read anything she throws out there. I remember reading her article on the Jennifer vs Gwyneth debate. I go with Mrs Pitt. Frankly Gwenny just doesn't do it for me. And, she does look like she'd be about as high-maintenance as a shuttle launch. Could you imagine waiting on her to get her ass ready to go eat? Please. Jennifer would slap on a sweater and some jeans and be gorgeous.
      • Hell yes. I'm always leary of someone who grew up on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and who's father was a B-rate TV director. Paltrow is Mrs "I'm so great 'cause I got an Oscar and speak in an English accent". No wonder Brad dumped her ass and went with Aniston.
  • Di Nero. He's just more italian acting and looking.

    Football. Its a game of war and strategy that makes you cheer during every single play. Baseball is boredom, plain and simple.

    Beer. Just ask gmhowell and his homebrew stuff (I'm putting in a good word to get a sample of his mead when its done) ;-).
    Actually, I especially like Canadian beer.
    • I agree with you regarding football. It's a game that all people can play, if done properly. 200lb men and even 5 year-old girls can be on the same team, and each can have a type of advantage. This game combines brute force with strategy and won't let you win with only 1 of the 2.

      I don't drink either of the 2 alcohols. Sorry. :^)

      As for the actors, I'm not entirely sure. They play their characters well, but they both get kind of tiring. It'd be interesting to see an action hero who is a nice guy. Ever see the "The Big Hit" [or was it called, "The Hit"?]? It had Mark Walberg in it, and Lou Diamond Phillips. Lou seems to be very good at playing diverse roles. Mark Walberg played the nicest hitman I've ever seen.
  • Pacino: football connection
    Football: baseball's too slow

    I don't remember the last question...
    • Football: baseball's too slow

      Huh? You mean slower then RunForFiveSecondsThenWaitTwoMinutes-ball?

      I always preferred baseball over football because football was to slow. Nothing going on, play, stop, play, stop, play, stop, half hour long half, play, stop, play, stop. Bleh.
  • How about a nice Stout? I mean, if you're going to drink a fermented hops beverage, at least get one that has some leaves and twigs in it!

    "Bood Litay" is only good for one thing: watering the lawn.

  • Liquor. Mmmm...Vodka. I actually had a sip of some beer that didn't taste like complete shit at a German bar last week. I still would not drink a whole pint/.5 pint/mug/teaspoon of the stuff. I do now know why people complain about cheap American beers though- there's gross, and then there's downright vomitus.

    De niro.

    Baseball.
  • De Niro or Pacino?

    De Niro... even as a bad guy, you have to like him.

    Football or Baseball?

    Soccer, of course. No explaination needed there. :)

    Liquor or Beer?

    Liquor... most beer tastes like piss, and you can always make a nice fruity drink if you don't like the taste of liquor straight up.

  • De Niro: cooler, better range, and taller.

    Baseball: neither the Steelers or the Pirates are doing too well right now, so I can't really go by which one I'm enjoying my teams more in. However, "home run" is still the ultimate sporting metaphor (although "sticky wicket" is more fun to say)

    Liquor: I've got Goldschälger in my hand as I type this--I hate schnapps for philosophical reasons (to quote Denis Leary, "It tastes like CANDY!"), but it was a gift from a really hot chick.... However, when I go to the bar, or the kitchen, it's gin & tonic, and last I checked, there's no beer in there.

  • Watch closely now because I can only do this trick once. Warning: These picks are given with explanations that contain a lot of conditions, qualifying statement and in general a lot of weaseling and double talk.

    Pacino: The man is versitile. He can play a crazy guy, a blind crazy guy, a lawyer and the devil. He can play these characters separatly as well as them all combined into one. DeNiro is great but I think he doesn't act. He is just DeNiro. Life at his home is probably just like one of his movies.

    baseball: This only holds true if you are a fan of a team that really sucks. My experience was the Atlanta Braves from 1981-1987. This was great. I could socialize with just about everyone at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium on any given night and not have move very far from my section. Move to a city with a lousy team and you can kick back and not have to wait on line for hot dogs, beer or the bathroom. It's the only way to be a fan.

    beer first then liquor later: this is the usual sequence one follows on their way to hitting rock bottom. It also goes well with the baseball thing (see explanation above).
