Build Your Dream Band
Carter may be an incredible drummer, but that doesnt mean Grohl's talent and hard work should be disregarded alltogether. So basically Grohl's hard-work and dedication over the past couple of decades (playing for Nirvana, producing and backing bands like Queens of the Stone Age and Tenacious D, and pretty much writing and producing all the material for Foo Fighters) all of the sudden means "nothing" just because there's another drummer who can play better than him. I'm not a huge Foo Fighters fan, but I've got to admire his talent. He's in a totally different category than Carter, since he played all the instruments when Foo Fighters was born, sings, writes, and produces. People would kill to be able to do that.

is it possible to be "just friends" after 2 years?
After a break-up, the relationship becomes extremely fragile. Going from romantic to platonic so quickly is the reason for this. A break-up happens all in one day. It can take maybe a small handful of words to end a relationship and bring about such a serious change so quickly. If its not a mutual break-up, a healthy friendship is nearly impossible. The break-up basically determines how easy or hard it will be to remain friends. After a break-up, all the bitter feelings come out and its basically like in "High Fidelity" when he goes through a state of bitter confusion. Some people try to bring up their problems with their ex to try and solve them once and for all. Like "why did you do this?" or "this bothered me" or "you said this, blah blah blah." A friendship can happen, but it takes equal effort from both sides. If the problems from the past cant be solved, its best to agree to disagree if you're really serious about remaining friends. If problems arent solved, then its only going to build-up over time, and someone will either explode over it, or start holding grudges over it. Its going to be hard, because people are prone to assume the negative after a breakup, like "he/she hasnt talked to me in a while, he/she must not care anymore, this reminds me of that one time he/she hurt me" basically like DoogieJ said, its best that you spend time apart at first, to try and establish independence again. You have to ween yourself off of a relationship. Jumping into something else will ruin any chances of a friendship as well.

most violent movie I've ever seen, stunts absolutely kicked ass, awesomely written, directed very well. Over-all a must see if you liked his other work. Its supposed to be filmed like an Anime would be if it were live action. I can honestly say that he pulled it off really well.

Rufus Wainwright
Rufus Wainwright, great singer, does a great cover of "Across the Universe" by the Beatles and "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, i get a lot of comparisons to him, i guess its the tone of voice... he has a voice like no one else

SWAT
i dunno about you all, but I'm tired of the guy, he's in too many movies all in a short amount of time, they seem to be doing that with actors these days, putting them in a ton of movies all in a short amount of time. For Instance, John C. Reilly was in 3 out of the 5 movies nominated for Movie of the Year just recently, and he was in a couple that werent nominated. However, John C. Reilly is a good guy. Colin Farrell donates a large portion of his paycheck to the underground porn industry.

this movie kicks ass... anyone who didnt like it probably didnt like it because their expectations were built up too high before they saw it. Either that or their taste in movies sucks, this is the most well-made horror film I've ever seen, it gives us a look at the realism of what it would really be like if we were living a horror movie. Not like that Blair Witch crap, that was an hour and a half of people yelling and screaming "WHAT WAS THAT?!?!?! JOSH?!?!"
