hey its $$$ for OLP and probarly a decent amount so I could see no reason why they would say no.

when I heard OLP on tv, I thought it was just a commercial for their album or something.. then I turned around and it was the commercial for XXX.

I had heard all these rumors about this commercial but had never seen it, well, I never saw it til last night, where I saw it twice in a span of a half hour, and almost lost my dinner over it. nasty nasty nasty. as you all know, i hate vin diesel, so to see him with OLP playing...well...it hurt, a lot. :|

I saw the ad last night.

I'm currently trying to clean the dried-up puke out of the carpet...

I saw the movie...I think it's pretty sweet.

Any fan seeing OLP in Hollywood movie soundtracks, previews or anything big and expensive and find it bad are just being greedy and want OLP their way again. If OLP is stepping up in the ranks of popularity everyone seems scared of them maybe selling out or doing something else that they won't like because they've been a fan for longer, since the old stuff. Well that's just dumb, any decision OLP makes should be respected. It should be what they want to do, not what we want them to do.

xXx wasn't a very good movie. But, it did do pretty good in the box office. Who care's it's more OLP exposure. Kudos fellars, kudos indeed. 8-)
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

I haven't seen XXX yet but I heard from all my friends who did see it that it was really bad. But I can't see the connection between SOT and XXX. Anyone? Signs was a good movie though. :D
Some of you probably think I left. But was I ever here to start?

hehe..I was thinking about SOT or Innocent in a Signs commercial but I just don't think there's much chance of that happening. Signs had an intense score. It's not the kind of movie that would use outside music. But I do love that movie! :mrgreen:

Why does everyone except me love Signs?

I don't see what was so amazing about it. It was good, but nothing close to great.

I didn't like Signs or XXX.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
