just because hollywood catered to special interests and political correctness and replaced the middle eastern terrorists with neo ****'s, you don't like the movie?

The only movie with Affleck I've actually enjoyed was the one where he is a reverse engineer. I saw it on an airplane..can't remember the name of it though
IMDb is your friend.

Best Tom Clancy novel? My vote: "Hunt For Red October". Again, the movie paled in comparison to the book, which ended about halfway through the book. There was a lot more action after the two submarines made it to the East Coast.

Trivia time. Who starred as the ill-fated skipper of the Russian Alfa-class boat in "Hunt..."? It was Stellan Skarsgård who starred a few years later as professor Gerald Lambeau in Damon and Affleck's "Good Will Hunting".

Cardinal of the Kremlin (no Jack Ryan) and Without Remorse are both very good.

Buy a dash mounted fan and put a bag of ice between your legs. You'll be cool as Fonzie

Usually just after dinner we all decide what we want to do. Almost every weekend that involves going to someones house and watching movies/hanging out. Usually that's my house. It could be someone elses place though, or maybe something else will be going on that they decide to do. Unless it's a bbq at s2 or we all decide before hand to go karting (which is the call to everyone to show up..seriously) then it's all just decided on the go.
