God Speed Harry by Lyghthouse	May 19th, 2008 11:42:37 PM
Good luck on surgery.
Godspeed by Sherman_Lives	May 19th, 2008 11:44:17 PM
Been following this site since the start. May The Simpsons have to redesign Comic Book Guy to reflect your upcoming svelte physique.
CONGRATS, SERIOUSLY by Derek Wildstarr	May 19th, 2008 11:45:19 PM
Harry my aunt went through the same surgery and lost hundreds of lbs. This is going to really change your life, but you gotta stay away from the cheetos and keep hittin the 24 hour fitness. Good luck, you can do it.
Oh, and kudos on "The Thing" reference. by Lyghthouse	May 19th, 2008 11:45:49 PM
You should watch it in the hospital.
Nice by altoandando	May 19th, 2008 11:46:09 PM
Get better... get great. Thanks for all!
good luck Harry by Tarl_Cabot	May 19th, 2008 11:47:22 PM

Thoughts and Prayers by FarSky	May 19th, 2008 11:47:34 PM
Good luck, Harry, and congratulations on the steps you've already taken. May this one aid you even more.
best of luck by hauptman	May 19th, 2008 11:49:48 PM
just don't set the goal so high that you'll forever be disappointed. 200 pounds lost via LAP-BAND would be incredible, way beyond the norm. either way, if you work at it, you're life is about to take a very positive turn.
Good luck! by chutneylix	May 19th, 2008 11:50:19 PM
gluck harry and congratulations on the progress you've made so far. Wish you the best, I'm sure everyone here will be hoping for the best.
Good luck Harry. by digitalcos	May 19th, 2008 11:51:00 PM
Sounds like you're making some good choices.
Good luck by Beeslo	May 19th, 2008 11:51:03 PM
Its good to see that you are trying to take your physical well being in a more positive direction. In a way, perhaps being diagnosed with diabetes will be the best thing that ever happened to you. Because hopefully you will now be able to lead a longer life to enjoy that little thing called film. Had it not been for this diagnoses, you may had continued in your current physical track record and could have quite possibly died at a much earlier age from heart problems or other obesity issues. So good luck, man.
Had a kidney transplant 8 years ago... by Lyghthouse	May 19th, 2008 11:51:09 PM
I know its nowhere near the same thing, but I know how shitty the white room is. Still, you'll get through this just fine. Maybe AICN can come up with some cool thing people can contribute to and give you in the hospital. Oh, and don't watch funny movies. Laughing really hurts the incisions.
Long Time Reader First Time Writer by Thegrnmachine	May 19th, 2008 11:51:17 PM
Good luck Harry! You will be in our thoughts and prayers!
Good Luck, Harry by nascentia	May 19th, 2008 11:51:57 PM
You've been an inspiration to this (former) journalist for a long time, and I wish you well. I know it sounds weird coming from someone you've never met, but I'm very proud and happy for you that you've gotten so much of this under control by yourself. I've had my own issues in life, never as serious as this, but I can't say that I've always been able to make the necessary changes to better myself all the time. I'm glad you can. Good luck, and God Speed, Mr. Goodspeed.
Good luck. by PornKing	May 19th, 2008 11:52:14 PM
I hope the surgery goes well and you get in shape. I'll never fully understand how anyone can let themselves get to the point that they can't go up a flight of stairs without wheezing, but I respect the fact that impending blindness and death were enough to motivate you to lose weight. GL sir, and hopefully if and when the weight comes off it doesn't take impending death to keep it off.
dude my dad had the gastric and now hes by theredtoad	May 19th, 2008 11:53:05 PM
SKINNY AS FUCK I never though I'd live to see the day where I weighed more than my dad.. but I do. I'm 165.. he used to be 350. Now he's 150. You can do it Harry! I KNOW you can!
AWESOME by Spursfanjd	May 19th, 2008 11:53:08 PM
Dude, congrads on taking a big step towards making your life better, you deserve it man, you live the dream, live it out, all the way you rule Harry
Great news Harry! by moto	May 19th, 2008 11:53:36 PM
Life is short... good to know you're ready and willing to make it last as long as possible. Takes a lot of courage to do that.
Yer in our prayers Harry by KnightShift	May 19th, 2008 11:53:36 PM
See you on the flip side dude.
Good Luck! But..... by Gay Jesus Christ	May 19th, 2008 11:53:37 PM
Rethink this dude! Your Fatness is your golden egg. The reason why your site is so sucessful is cause nerds are spiteful and hate success. They see you and your tonnage and think to themselves "Harry has everything, he's got money, he writes sort of good, his parents own a comic book store, I hate his ass, oh wait, he's a horribly obese fattie? I guess that negates his other qualities and makes me relate to him more". You are shooting yourself in the foot if you are getting rid of all that glorious fat. I mean all the AICN interstitial animations are based upon the grotesque fat flesh that you possess. This is like Kerri Russell cutting off her curly hair in Felicity. Look what Happened! This will be bad.
Good luck, man. by jae683	May 19th, 2008 11:54:11 PM
Hope it goes well.
think of all the soap by GavinVanDraven	May 19th, 2008 11:56:57 PM

Best wishes, Harry by Guu-sama	May 19th, 2008 11:57:19 PM
I've had operations -- big fun! Good luck, and be at least as good as is likely :D
So Glad You're Doing This by mrbeaks	May 19th, 2008 11:57:58 PM
I just hope they don't find a Manitou while they're poking around in there. Best of luck dropping the weight. We've all got to wrestle our personal Shutes.
STUPID FAT FUCK by spidermanfreak20	May 19th, 2008 11:58:36 PM
Dont get surgery! It's your hypothalamus gland that is out of whack and makes you crave food. There is the ROOT of your problem. Fix that the rest will flow.
Vaya con Dios by darth rod	May 19th, 2008 11:58:45 PM
Best wishes Harry, transforming from the stereotype geek one step at a time, first getting married and then to thinland! best wishes. Gonna miss those glorious fat harry flash animations jokes!
Good luck!!! by Animus	May 20th, 2008 12:01:12 AM
No fancy fat jokes here... Good luck, Harry. Oh, and Lapband on hairy = Nipples on Batman.
The Harry in the Corner by HEADGEEK	May 20th, 2008 12:01:41 AM
Will always be Fat Harry. I leave that to him. That and Cartuna loves animating the fat me. I can't take his love for fat men away... it just wouldn't be right.
Dammit... by Animus	May 20th, 2008 12:01:44 AM
I meant, "Harry", although, I'm pretty sure you're hairy anyways.
good luck harry by El Borak	May 20th, 2008 12:02:01 AM
sending a prayer on the mind waves for ya.
Best of wishes, like all the rest, but... by zooty882	May 20th, 2008 12:02:08 AM
...52lbs in six weeks already!!! That, my friend, deserves major kudos all on it's own! I'm just trying to lose 40 to help my back and that's tough enough. Hope the surgery goes well.

Walnuts Will Give You Sensation Of Being Full by spidermanfreak20	May 20th, 2008 12:02:54 AM
"It gives me the sensation of being FULL - thus ending craving and hunger issues." There are walnuts you can eat cost you less than surgery less stressful. STUPID FAT FUCK! DONT GET THE SURGERY FIX YOUR HYPOTHALAMUS GLAND AND EAT WALNUTS!
All The Best, Harry by ScreamingPenis	May 20th, 2008 12:03:46 AM
get well soon. take it one day at a time.
Hey good luck, man by Zakari Paolon	May 20th, 2008 12:03:53 AM
I like your reviews, and our movie taste are pretty much identical, so I need you to keep writing reviews for me to point at with my finger and say SEE? SEE? when friends think a movie I like sucks. So good luck.
God bless you Harry! by Carbonara	May 20th, 2008 12:04:11 AM
You are in our prayers!
so happy Harry is not doing a reality show about this by BadMrWonka	May 20th, 2008 12:05:38 AM
although it would be better than 99% of them out there... Herc would still like Veronica Mars better... good luck big guy, everyone here feels like we know you, and we're all here because of you. and that means the world. get healthy and stay that way, and when this site's 50th anniversary rolls around, don't forget us original talkbackers! good luck and happy healing.
Good Luck... by wraith777	May 20th, 2008 12:06:11 AM
you're gonna need it...I got your promise, not a scratch.
Best of luck... by Potsy	May 20th, 2008 12:06:45 AM
...on the surgery and lifestyle change. No one ever regrets a healthy diet and exercise. You'll be amazed at the difference in the quality of your life. Thanks for the site and all you do!
Good Luck Harry!! by buffywrestling	May 20th, 2008 12:07:04 AM

Great job on the weight loss already. Have a nice sleep and a great surgery.

think about all the things you'll be doing after surgery buddy, don't let anything negative come to your mind. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.

I love you, man! Hey, I've been knocking a few back, makes it OK. This has been my favorite site forever, and you're one of the most awesome geeks that ever lived. Good luck, my friend I've never met.
Good luck by lex romero	May 20th, 2008 12:16:26 AM
Simple enough operation so the good luck is more for the weight loss in general. If Peter Jackson can do it so can you.
Be Safe, Harry...But Consider This... by loserguy3000	May 20th, 2008 12:16:35 AM
Harry, We all appreciate what you've done with Aintitcoolnews and hope the best for your health, but I sincerely hope you use these recent events as a complete wake-up call for bettering your own life. Watching films is a fine activity, but it was (and always will be) something for entertainment. Even your most devout fans will recognize that sitting down and being stagnant for what has to be a tremendous amount of time isn't at all healthy, and has most definitely contributed to your vast array of health problems. Exercise needn't be the bother some have made it out to be, but simply moving around and being active can do wonders for one's health and mental acuity. This isn't opinion; this is fact. We know you love film Harry, but as smug as it's going to sound, love yourself more. There's far more to life than watching, re-watching, and watching the same film over and over...even watching new ones. In the end you'll have fabricated memories that'll be hard to distinguish from reality, and as we've watched your grow from obsessed geek to family man (and come to know your family by proxy), we've become a part of that as well. Nobody wants to see you suffer Harry, but you've got to take the resigns and propel yourself forward. It won't be easy, and you'll wonder how you'll make it without the temptations of endless film and television, but trust me my friend, you will. It will get easier, and before you know it, it won't matter that you haven't seen everything or feel as though you're missing out. You'll be healthier, happier, and better off for it. Although you're going under the knife, please remember that you should never consider these surgeries as medicine or the fix-it some claim they are - they're a blessing as they allow you another chance to make the right lifestyle choices. I've had two grandparents pass from exactly the same affliction from you, and up until the day they died they knew full well how it could have been prevented. Rant Done. Get well Harry, and please consider the life-changing scenario that'll keep you around for a long, long awhile. You'll do fine and the most realistic of talkbackers will always be there to lend a bit of support, but you've got to carry the bulk (no pun intended) of the problem yourself. Please make the right choice, if only for Yoko.
52 pounds in 6 weeks? by s0nicdeathmonkey	May 20th, 2008 12:16:51 AM
is that even a healthy level of weight loss?
But best of luck man by s0nicdeathmonkey	May 20th, 2008 12:17:22 AM
and congrats on losing those first 50 pounds!
Good luck, Harry by cretik22	May 20th, 2008 12:18:05 AM
I hope the surgery goes well.
My first lapband cost $20 and the boner lasted for hours by RyanMurray	May 20th, 2008 12:18:43 AM
...oh, lapBAND. Ohhhhhhh. Oh! Best of luck, man. Let's just hope that while Moriarty is in charge he doesn't fuck up the Galactica the way Saul Tigh did when Bill Adama was under. :) (BAD CYLON MORIARTY, BAD!)
I hope it's a boy by OQuaTanginWann	May 20th, 2008 12:19:41 AM
Then he can share his love of comics and stuff with a son.
You can do it Harry by Jay Mammoth	May 20th, 2008 12:20:52 AM
Just keep on dieting, and exercising.

Get Well Soon Harry! by DARTHpatel	May 20th, 2008 12:23:09 AM
I'm a long time fan of this site. I don't write many talk backs, but I got back to 1997. I hope you get back to full strength soon, so I can continue to read your unique brand of movie review and entertainment news.

I Have Images Of Harry Wearing A Fatsuit... by TroutMaskReplicant	May 20th, 2008 12:23:53 AM

Good Luck by TRON	May 20th, 2008 12:26:18 AM
Harry, I have a friend who has had a simular op, years past.... If you need advise from someone who had to do a diet change due to surgery... contact me and I will get you in contact with him.. He was a head chef at rice diet house in Durham....search grinch and "rice diet" on the web.... be careful on what meds they give you and do not loose the weight too fast,,, it may affect your kidneys the way it did my friend.
Best Wishes Harry! by Rindain	May 20th, 2008 12:26:36 AM

You're in my thoughts, be well, stay strong.
Your kids will thank you by farmercotton	May 20th, 2008 12:30:12 AM
Hey Harry, Be strong, my man. The trick with surgery like this is patience. It's going to hurt like fuck for a while but six months from now you'll feel awesome. And your kids will thank you someday for having had the courage to go through with this.
Love you back Headgeek!! by Hercules	May 20th, 2008 12:30:19 AM
Now get skinny!
Good Luck Harry by Archangel7883	May 20th, 2008 12:30:30 AM
Fifty pounds in six weeks is awesome. (I wish I could GAIN 50 pounds in six weeks)
Best to you, Harry by Big Dumb Ape	May 20th, 2008 12:30:58 AM
This is one of those life-changing things that all geeks can sincerely get behind you on. It's great to hear that you're taking charge of your health in far better ways, and I'm sure some amazing results will follow. So best to you on the operation and here's hoping it improves your life in all the ways you dream of!
good luck, bossman by Quint	May 20th, 2008 12:32:40 AM
I'll come visit you in the afternoon... I really want to sprinkle Tobasco on your surgical wound while you're bedridden and can't stop me. Tomorrow's gonna be a good day...

Way to go dude! by codymr	May 20th, 2008 12:41:01 AM
My Dad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but unlike you, he has not taken steps to control the illness. That said, my sister and I are very aware of what diabetes can do and we are both active people who enjoy a nutritious meals. and unlike our father, we are fit and not pear shaped, with a BMI within a normal range. A good diet does not have to taste as dull as crap and exercise just becomes part of your daily routine. Good luck man, I'm guessing that you will be pleasantly surprised with the results of a little effort on your part.

Good luck Harry man! by Quake II	May 20th, 2008 12:42:24 AM
I've been lurking on these boards for 10 years (under a couple different names) and you've supplied me with years of gossip, reviews and time-killing pleasure. Get healthy, stick around a while and keep doing what you do best...Loving cinema.
My sister is getting operated on Wednesday by Orionsangels	May 20th, 2008 12:42:25 AM
So I'm nervous myself. My sister had Gastric Bypass Surgery or Stomach Stapling back in 2003. She was over 300 pounds. She became as skinny as a stick. Then gained a little back in the last few years. Then she had her breast done and a tummy tuck. Now she's having her breast fixed again and more extra fat removed. She's 37, married with 3 kids. She doesn't seem worried at all. In fact she's super happy about it. While me and the rest of her family can't sleep from worrying so much. So I can relate to what your wife and family are going through Harry. Good luck! Even though I talk smack here sometimes. I love ya Harry and all you guys.
Good luck Harry! by whytee	May 20th, 2008 12:47:56 AM

Fantastic Luck To You by smallerdemon	May 20th, 2008 12:49:15 AM
Great good luck to you through the surgery from me placeboeffect, and the impending Unit Z (although, she can't wish you luck herself I'm sure she would if she could). I am incredibly happy that you've had your shakubuku coinciding with your desire for the surgery. I can't see anything but good results in the future.

You Do Whatever, by Pulagatha	May 20th, 2008 12:51:23 AM
You Do Whatever It Takes, Big Guy. I'm not the biggest fan of your orgasm spewing reviews, but damn it I still appreciate your point of view and thoughts on things.
Down to you, big fella! by BiggusDickus	May 20th, 2008 12:51:30 AM
My very best wishes for a successful operation and a positive change of mindset when you get out. You're a strong man, Harry, a highly-focussed individual who is more than capable of channelling this focus into re-inventing yourself. Keep an old pic of yourself. Get angry when you look at it. Never mind all that Hippy claptrap about'love', what you need is 'anger' - focussed anger can inspire us to truly epic achievements. Get angry, Harry. Get fit and truly LIVE. The candle's lit, the prayers are said, and there's a phenomenal amount of people on your side, here. Best of British, my man!
Good luck brotha by jimmy_009	May 20th, 2008 12:53:08 AM

Food sucks. Unless it's Yoplait Whips Chocolate Mousse Style and Flintstone's Vitamins...I love the purple Bettys. And Pedialyte, the ultimate hangover cure.

I hope it all goes smoothly and I look forward to updates on your post-op life and what the changes are like for you.

Best of luck Harry! by Neosamurai85	May 20th, 2008 01:07:49 AM
For all the gripes and issues over the years with the site and your reviews, the truth is you created a space for geeks to be geeks. You introduced many of us to many films we probably wouldn't have come across on our own. Living out in the sticks, I know at many times I wouldn't have stayed critically engaged in films if I didn't duke it out on this site with others. I've been reading Ain't It Cool News for about nine or so years now, from a young teen arguing that Alien Vs Predator was a bad idea for a movie, to a college student pursuing a career teaching film. So for all the bitching and moaning and genuine issues with the site, I still can't say thanks enough for simply creating the site and keeping it up. Wish you the best man! Peace.
Good Luck Harry by Dav8515	May 20th, 2008 01:08:20 AM
All the best and dedication to make this work
Good luck Harry!! by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	May 20th, 2008 01:10:06 AM
That's fantastic news that you are making such a positive lifestyle change. I wish you nothing but the best. I am also on Atkins and I lost 50ibs. I am currently at 200 and shooting for 175. I know you can do it!! My fear was what is your reality as that runs in my family on both sides so yeah it's now or never. Once you on the diet for a while it will be come 2nd nature and you will rarely miss the carbs. Can't wait to hear the update.

Good luck Harry, I know all will be fine.
Believe it or not... by yesiamaplant	May 20th, 2008 01:15:00 AM
...my brother is going under tomorrow (5/20) for gastric sleeve (sort of like gastric bypass, except they leave part of your stomach, and more of your large intestine) at around 2pm your time. I'm worried sick about him as he's currently so heavy they can't even weigh him on a conventional hospital scale (that's 550 plus, folks). Kind of opportunistic to ask you all to throw a little good will his way as this is really about Harry (his site and all), but if you could see your way clear to just spreading the hope out to two fat men tomorrow, I'd be much obliged.

Nothing annoys me more... by Fleet	May 20th, 2008 01:17:04 AM
...Than listening to everyone gushing over how fantastic this is... ...It seriously wouldn't have been a problem if he had the constitution to look after himself in the first place... Sure, the LapBand will reduce the hunger, but so would eating a balanced diet... Hell, you could even resort to medication which suppresses the appetite... Launching into the LapBand, well I hope you don't suffer the heart-burn, stomach pains and continuous vomiting a lot of patients go through while their body adapts to the fact that it's stomach is now unable to hold food the way it wants to...
God Bless!!! by Media Messiah	May 20th, 2008 01:19:23 AM
This kind of surgery, in fact, any kind of surgery is very dangerous and should not be taken for granted by any of us. You have my prayers Harry. But, as you already know...you are blessed in many ways because you have a family, and means of supporting them...and that is a gift directly from God!!! The Greatest Gift!!!

Thanks for the surgery center's address and phone number. They're gonna get pranked unmercifully now.

Hopefully this will help you out in living a more full and complete lifestyle. Cheers and best of luck. And don't forget to get out of the house every once in a while. It's good for you.
Good Luck Harry by cineninja	May 20th, 2008 01:22:03 AM
My sister was overweight her entire life then in her 30s started Atkins...now she competes in marathons...you can do it. Best of Luck!

What's a SPOILER! warning in regards to real-world surgery? by BadWaldo s Revenge	May 20th, 2008 01:29:52 AM
Is there a metaphor or secret meaning to "spoiling" the details? This is real life, not a biopic.
Kick ass, Harry! by Dulcebase	May 20th, 2008 01:30:17 AM
I wish you the absolute best of luck.
Knock this out of the park Harry! by hallmitchell	May 20th, 2008 01:32:00 AM
Eat well. While you are recovering. Howard stern went through a weight issue. He documented it in Miss America. Check it out Harry. You've got plenty of great years left, yet you can't do it in Heaven.
Best Wishes Harry by topaz4206	May 20th, 2008 01:32:46 AM
Thank you for sharing your love of film -- as well as your life, good and bad, with us. Everything will go just fine -- you have many decades of joy yet to discover!
All blessings, Harry by Boromir	May 20th, 2008 01:33:46 AM
It's awesome that you're going so far to get something you want--that's real balls on display. Kick some ass, and we'll be waiting for you right here afterwards!
Boromir - Showing REAL BALLS? Give me a fucking break... by Fleet	May 20th, 2008 01:35:35 AM
...How is Harry going in for surgery showing real balls? What a fucking cop out...
Bold move, Harry. by blackhole4140	May 20th, 2008 01:36:14 AM
Even the haters are impressed with your resolve. Make this chance stick, man.
Look, I know Im in the minority here... by Fleet	May 20th, 2008 01:38:53 AM
...and there's probably only 3 or 4 people that might agree with me - But seriously, if Harry really had the guts (no pun intended) to "go so far to get something he wants" or if he had "resolve" then he wouldn't have allowed things to get as bad as they did before he sat up and took notice...
Good luck Harry! by kungfuhustler84	May 20th, 2008 01:40:34 AM
And don't worry about "spoiling" it for all us geeks. May visions of Indy's dance in your heads. And if you wake up in a tub full of ice with one of your kidney's missing, then the mission has failed. :) Seriously, good luck dude!
Congrats on doing it! I backed out TWICE! by Pixelsmack	May 20th, 2008 01:41:14 AM
First I backed out of GB and then LB. I too am fat and happy but fear one day my motivation will come much in the same terrifying form as yours, or worse.
I'm not usually a well wisher... But by Flint_Ironstag	May 20th, 2008 01:44:10 AM
I'm stoked over the changes you are making in your life. I made some changes that are similar to yours lately... minus the lap band... and minus the 7xl shirts... and the 62 waist pants... I hope your changes exceed the lap band and you do more for yourself. Hit the weights and be the type of geek that jocks fear!
Best of luck buddy by StrangeloveDr	May 20th, 2008 01:44:27 AM
I've been reading this site for years (this is where I came when Singer's first X-Men movie came out) and have been addicted ever since. Me and my roommate check it everyday and both of us hope for nothing but the best from your surgery. I think I did a talkback years ago and this is my first since. I felt like I should write something because this website has been a staple pretty much everyday since those first X-Men updates. Be well and get hardcore healthy, son!
Good luck Harry ! by TimMighty	May 20th, 2008 01:44:43 AM

Seriously, this is the best thing you could do for your yourself. I'm proud of you for doing something about your weight. Diabetes is no joke. Plus, as a bonus to us, we'll never have to read another review where you describe lifting your gut to get at some hot, little actress and let's face it, that's an image we could all do without! Good luck, man!

Bless you Harry! by deadboy1313	May 20th, 2008 02:24:56 AM
I hope the surgery goes smoothly and your plans for a healthier life go well. If you need something to help fight the food cravings, run a google image search on Bea Arthur. Someone more twisted than the rest of us has made nude paintings of her. If you can eat after looking at those, your stomach is stronger than mine.
Kiss that big ass goodbye! by RedwingsHoolihan	May 20th, 2008 02:25:30 AM

See you on the other side of the op! I think surgery is a last resort but when it helps this much then it's all good and with your turn around in lifestyle too it will all work itself into a routine! I watched a program the other night about an american dad having to get cut out his own home and winched onto a truck to get lots of weight removed surgically and it broke my heart to see the daughter at the end talking about how great it will be to get her dad back while feeding her newborn baby a BigMac!!! There needs to be a big push with nutritional education as well as the personal efforts made by the individual like yourself and something done bigtime about all the cheap fast food that makes it easier and more affordable than REAL food!? then we can all get back to normal and enjoying a healthy lifestyle again! Good Luck H!

Hary, do some tai chi by board shitlez	May 20th, 2008 02:48:52 AM
Seriously, it'll aid your recovery and your balance and it's a good introduction to exercise. Then do Wing Chun, then aikido, then deathfist Level Beta secret skills which can only be learned from Master Hudan in the foothills of Tibet. Then kick the shit out of anyone who mocked your pre-band fatness. Best of luck.

I'm not a prayer, but I just mumbled one to whomever might be listening, be it God, Buddha, the Universal Mind, or just my dog Enid laying on the floor. I really, truly and sincerely wish you well. I'm sure you'll be fine. You have way too many film folk to suck up to or piss off (depending on who you ask). I'm glad you are tackling your diabetes problem head on. It's kind of weird, but know that there are people out there, who don't even know you, that are worrying about you and wish the best for you. Get well and take it easy after the surgery. When I was a kid my mom thought Ebert was the end all, be all, when it came to movies. If Ebert said it sucked, then my family didn't go. Well know that you're my Ebert. I'll be thinking of you today. Get better. ((Fuck... that was one of the sappiest things I've ever written you fat bastard!! I mean it though.))

I've been coming to this site every day for the past 11 years, Harry. We've never met, and yet in some weird way it seems like I know you. What a strange and wonderful thing this internet is. I wish you the best, Big Red. Speedy recovery and all that. From one film geek to another. Thanks for all the years, and here's looking forward to all the years to come.

You're going to be just fine. Once you see the changes, you won't want to stop, but just don't stop before that happens. It's the start that's the tough part. Once you've been doing it a while, exercise is almost fun. Almost.

This isn't about your opinion of what makes people fat, dipshit. It's not about your self-righteous finger-wagging wisdom, dipshit. It's about Harry and Harry's surgery, dipshit.
Best Wishes from Ireland! by WestieBestie	May 20th, 2008 04:08:09 AM

Hail Harry the Skinny by theycallmemrglass	May 20th, 2008 04:33:24 AM
Good luck with the surgery which is 100% safe. Have Yoko filming and put it up on youtube horror category! Going blind should never have been your ultimate persuasion. Dying from being fat would have really really fucked up your passion for film. I hope you will be happy to be the role model for other happy and content fat people sending a message to them that they will die young and thus fuck up their passions in life. Hail Harry the Skinny! You could turn out to be one handsome hunk. On the other hand, you could look like a potato. But so what, you'll live long and happy.
God's blessings upon you, Harry by antibody	May 20th, 2008 04:38:51 AM
Here's hoping this will be a great opportunity for you to continue to work hard at improving your physical health. Don't forget to take time to think about things from an eternal perspective as well, though, dude. Even if you get a second chance with a new and improved body -- what's the current state of your soul? That having been said, I wish you all the best, Harry! Thanks for being so open and sharing your struggles with a community that can be so mean-spirited at times (i.e. we talk-backers). You are showing a lot of courage and fortitude, sir. I salute you!
Even though your probably outta surgery by now... by Big_Bubbaloola	May 20th, 2008 04:55:22 AM

As if Harry Knowles Couldn't be a Sadder, Sacrier, Fat Fucker... by Bill Brasky	May 20th, 2008 06:05:19 AM
So all of this bullshit about Lapband surgery and 'working towards fighting obesity...whatever. Dude...EAT LESS + RUN MORE. That's how my Dad did it, that's how America does it...and it's worked out fine so far. Quit your fucking whining, stop filling your face and GET ON A FUCKING TREDMILL. Oh, and the 'hand' sized portions that fit into that artificial sack in your stomach? Yeah, not Andre the Giant's hand, The Refrigerator Perry's Hand or even Arnold Schwarzenegger's Hand. Those portions should be the size of an average person's hand. So...the joke's on you.

Hmmm. by Puñeta	May 20th, 2008 06:06:18 AM
I remember when i ballooned up to 195 pounds, i really felt like a fat ass, but with a nice diet and good exercise i was able to lose 25 pounds and be at 170(im 5'11) in just 1 month. Anyway, good luck Harry, remember not to push yourself really hard, its great that you are losing weight, but do it healthly.
and.. by Bill Brasky	May 20th, 2008 06:10:15 AM
I will say prayers to countermind all of the fake 'prayers' that the agnostic progressives that frequent this site are trying to tell you that they are saying. I pray that you stay fat. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit...

LapBand Surgery can end Diabetes by RosebudsStarfish	May 20th, 2008 06:13:31 AM
First of all, good luck with the surgery. Second, you probably already know that lapband surgery can put diabetes into total remission. The results are staggering. 60 minutes did a piece on it and you can see it here http://www.cbsnews.com/section s/60minutes/main3415_overflow_ new.shtml its the piece from April 20th. Lastly, shaving your face would knock about 40 lbs off your BMI instantly. Good luck and godspeed.

You number guys and gals is that a good karma series of numbers? Now who is gonna play the lottery with that set of numbers today? Good Luck Harry on your own personal gamble. That DIABETES is a real mo'fo'. I weigh 222 so come on down dude. Surgery can't help you get my 6'3" height though.
Good luck by Dr_Zoidberg	May 20th, 2008 06:14:20 AM
It would be a terrible shame if you died due to obesity, it would be a horrible loss since you are one of the pioneers in the new age of film fans. So its good to see you're gonna expand your life expectancy. Even the haters would die a little inside if you left this Earth.
Good luck by br1947	May 20th, 2008 06:18:07 AM

Struggling with my own weight issues, albeit not on your level, I lost 20 lbs. in the last year but need to lose more. Your resolve strengthens my resolve. I mentioned in another talkback of my Dad losing aprox. 90 when learning of type 2 diabetes. He's thin and doing great. May thinness be with all of us. Good luck and take care.

It was sad to see you become obese and hear of your deteriorating health as you become wheelchair bound. I am also happy to hear that you are taking responsibility and action towards becoming healthy and fit. Your a big man with a big heart and big dreams. The world is a better place with you in it.

Just had Gastric Bypass by Purgatori	May 20th, 2008 08:19:02 AM
which out of the two surgeries is the better for diabetics as my diabetes has been cured in 5 days. The lapband takes longer to lose the weight, and you have to go through the joy of filling the damn thing up with a big needle until it's just right. But for some people it works better. The GB was right for me because of the diabetes and the acid reflux I had. I'm with you Harry on the diabetes and blindness. Would have really fucked up my love for film and TV. It's been almost two weeks since my surgery and I feel like a new woman and I'm already 20 pounds lighter. By next month I plan on being another 40 pounds less if I can pull it off. Good luck dude.

I am really glad to hear you are getting this done. We want you around as long as possible. For whatever it's worth (to anyone else trying to lose weight), I have found that if you fast for about 3 days, you kind of get the "cravings" out of your system and you can really lose a lot of weight. I don't know if your stomach actually shrinks or what but I swear that works.

We're all counting on you. Fuck now I am really gonna have to lose weight, I told myself I'd be down 220 by now, and I am still at around 232. Granted I am not fat, just this desk job makes it hard to keep the weight off. Oh yeah Harry, my uncle who became one of the few medical Navy Dr.'s who could perform keyhole surgery, now lives in Plano making his millions off of surgerys and procedures like this. I bet I could've got you a good deal.

The fatter you are, the quicker you lose weight. by Cotton McKnight	May 20th, 2008 08:34:20 AM
That sounds obvious but it's true. Several years ago, I weighed over 300 pounds. I just got sick of it, and DRASTICALLY changed my lifestyle. Walked every day, and ate under 2,000 calories. I lost 28 pounds in a month, and 100 pounds in about 10 months. So it doesn't surprise me in the least that even taking a passive interest in your diet and exercise habits would make a 400 pound man lose a significant amount of weight. But be wary- when I did that, I got SEVERE back pains, which turned out to be gallstones. Gallstones are a result of losing weight too fast. Harry is probably aware of this, but maybe not. I wasn't.

HARRY....PLEASE READ by Underoos Hero	May 20th, 2008 08:41:07 AM
In All seriousness; My father in law got this same surgery two years ago (he was also over 400lbs) and he has done very very well on it. He lost aprox. 160 lbs in a years time and it absolutely CURED his diabetes. He went through many programs for almost two years leading up to the surgery. These programs were required by the Medical Insurer. He admitted that it was his FAULT for being lazy and eating poorly. I'm glad to say that he has managed to keep the weight off, BUT he has slipped right back into bad eating habits and does not continue regular exercise. The only thing keeping him from gaining ALL of his weight back is this band. So Harry, you have to change your lifestyle and it's obvious you know that, but people in your situation need to be continuously reminded. Good Luck Dude.

As a bigger guy myself, I applaud you and feel for you. Thankfully I have dodged diabetes despite a family history, but I've read good things lapband can do in eliminating diabetes. I've been fortunate to drop over 50 pounds the last 4 months and get below 300 pounds... something I never thought I would get to even if I was asked just 6 months ago. Good luck, take care of yourself and I'm sure the Quint and the crew here will take care of the site until you can return

Good Luck, Harry. by TurboPervo	May 20th, 2008 09:02:30 AM
Good luck with the procedure. Then crank the 'Rocky' theme and get back to the gym. It takes a lot of guts (in the good way) to change your life the way you are. Don't let anyone discourage you.

Good Luck Harry - Diet is the key by Marillion	May 20th, 2008 09:11:13 AM
This is way too far down for him to ever read, but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. Over the last year, I've dropped 110 lbs. thanks to certain weight loss plan that focuses on portion control and eating the right kids of proteins, carbs, fats and water.. Lots and lots of water... For Harry to drop 52 lbs. in six weeks is incredible. Did I really read that right? If it's that easy for him to lose it that fast, I think the lapband prodcedure isn't even needed. With proper control on the amounts and kinds of food, the weight will come off in no time.. Best of luck Harry!!!

Harry, You MUST learn Control!!!!! by DarfurOnTheRocks	May 20th, 2008 09:28:50 AM
I wish you the best of health. However, the lap band is not going to teach you discipline. So I wish that you lose a ton of weight. Yet exercise and proper diet is the key. There's no easy way out.... There's no shortcut home....

Harry, my mother just had this done about 2 months ago for a very similar reason. She has said that this is one of the best decisions of her life, and she has had ZERO complications from her lap-band surgery. It took her a little while to get used to the small portions, but after that she has had more 'life' inside her than I can remember. Don't worry, you have a lot of good people praying for you, but good luck anyway!

Good Luck Harry by therealbigern	May 20th, 2008 09:36:15 AM
My Mom had this done roughly 4 years ago and she dropped a shiiiit load of weight in under a year. She went from lying around the house being miserable, and not a very fun person to be around, to an active older woman who goes out all the time, went back to school then work and is not afraid of being photograped anymore, she's never been happier. The lbs came off so fast you could literally watch her getting skinny right before your eyes. You're in for a change man, get ready for a fun ride.

As someone who has had a couple of different surgeries, in my life, I have just one piece of advice. When you wake up, the first thing you want to do is, make sure they did not accidentally tranpose your face cheeks and your ass cheeks. If they did, then every time you burp it'll taste like shit. Nobody wants that. ...in all seriousness though... Get well soon, Harry. I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery.

Be careful with that Atkins diet. It will f*** up your kidney's real good. You've got to get on some serious organic green juices and start pounding wheatgrass (in addition to meat, i'm no vegetarian). Wheatgrass will clean you right up. And stay away from anything that has ingredients (processed crap)!

The doctor stapled the stomach to make it smaller, yes, but also tied it straight into the large intestine, bypassing the small one. That's where most food absorption takes place, so basically what you eat goes right through you. It worked wonders for Gil. Did you see ACTION HERO MAKEOVER with him??? It's on youtube. Good luck Harry. Hope you get healthy ... but please no more brutal reviews like Star Wars Ep. 1.

You've Been Entertaining me for Free... by YakMalla	May 20th, 2008 11:29:02 AM
...for 10 years or so now, so this seems like a good time to say thank you, Harry. And good luck, tho you won't need it. As somebody who has lost 80 lbs or so, I'm here to tell you that life is better thinner. You just feel good a lot more of the time.
Give em hell Harry. I'd say lapband is cheating by Grammaton Cleric Binks	May 20th, 2008 11:30:36 AM
but considering your accident I can understand why you need the extra help instead of just exercise, and nutrition. I won't say diet, because you don't. You change your eating habits for life.

I wish you well Harry! by ED2D2	May 20th, 2008 11:34:42 AM
I hope you become half the man you are now, but with all the geektastic fanboy enthusiasm still intact. Here's to seeing you stand up and dance the Truffle Shuffle 200lbs lighter on your next birthday!
Good Luck by Jaboc	May 20th, 2008 11:34:49 AM
Been reading this site for years, i figure my first post should be for a good cause. Good luck with the surgery Harry, I hope all goes well.
Lowest amount of hate ever by Yeah I Wrote That	May 20th, 2008 11:35:08 AM

Harry, I hope you awake to a BJ from a nurse by darquelyte	May 20th, 2008 11:38:28 AM
Yes, I know you're recently married, but still. It's JUST a hummer! Anyway, good luck and I hope it helps alleviate your other issues. I lost over 70 pounds in under a year through just diet and exercise, but I also was well under 300 when I started. Although I'd like to lose another 35 pounds or so, the change has been fantastic! My Dad's wife had the gastric bypass a few years back and 200 pounds lighter she and my Dad have recently retired to a life of RV living. That would have been impossible prior to her surgery. So, I know from experience how much dramatic weight loss improves your life. All the best!
Skinny Harry holding Fat Pants by darquelyte	May 20th, 2008 11:43:04 AM
Vern is right that there needs to be an animated skinny Harry holding up his fat pants, but NOT the next animation. Harry still wants the Fat Harry to be in the upper corner, and I agree. But, one year from today, the skinny Harry holding up the fat pants should be what's in the upper corner animation. Again, best wishes Harry!
Good luck, godspeed... by Roguewriter	May 20th, 2008 11:46:58 AM
You're a good man, Harry Knowles. Get slim, get fit, stick around awhile. The world's a better place with you in it. (TalkBackers? Not so much...)
Hope it goes well by Cobbio	May 20th, 2008 11:48:22 AM
with the surgery, Harry. I'm pullin' for ya from a secret location in northeastern USA. I've actually got top men working on it for me. They'll be beaming you motivation and good thoughts or I'll take their families hostage. Yeehaw, Texas.
Get Well Soon by The Duke of New York	May 20th, 2008 11:49:49 AM
Harry - I hope you get through this with yourself in tact so you can keep moving towards all you want. I hope your journey never ends.
Good luck man by xevoid	May 20th, 2008 11:49:53 AM
Been at your site for ten years now. Stay safe. And my advice: Move from Texas. It's not all your fault...it's the type of food you have there. Even the chinese noodles have tons of carbs. Move to San Francisco...you'll be able to stay healthy in no time. Tofu all the way, man!
Best Wishes by Azazyel	May 20th, 2008 11:52:22 AM

It's a tough road, Harry. Be strong and you'll get through it. Congrats on taking this big step. Well wishes and all that mushy shit. Thanks for all you do here and letting us play in your online backyard. People might make jabs at you, but hey, most of us are just jealous. The rest are jerks.
Good luck by MonkeyBoy88	May 20th, 2008 12:18:46 PM
I commend you on taking charge of your life. I've seen a guy about your size undergo the same procedure about a year ago, and it's been amazing to see his life change.
All the best big guy by BigMikey	May 20th, 2008 12:19:29 PM
Hey Harry. Just like to add to the love and best wishes for your procedure and hopeful lifestyle improvements. Surgery is never to be taken lightly so I hope it all goes well and you're back on the site soon with your stream-of-consciousness reviewing. And much smaller pants. BigMikey
Good Luck! by JMcLovin	May 20th, 2008 12:22:28 PM
Here's to Harry giving us international reviews in the future ! Hope it all goes well, mate.

Harry - good luck and good health! by Ninja Nerd	May 20th, 2008 12:32:36 PM
I've been on AICN a long time and visit here every day. You, this site, your excellent contributors and the terrific STUFF quite literally make my day. I've long wondered if you wouldn't face some medical crisis. Sounds like you got somewhat lucky. Type 2 AOD is no picnic, but is entirely manageable. If you have some spare reading time, get Ray Kurzweil's book, "How To Live Forever". He co-writes it with a doctor HE found to help combat HIS Type 2 diabetes. When the preface was written, Ray Kurzweil was OFF insulin and meds and controlling his diabetes with ONLY diet and exercise. And he's older than you by a good bit. I don't know if he's still in good shape, but I would imagine so. You might also check out the Zone Living diet. Dr. Sears has compelling data that eating 4-5 smaller meals a day, with the right balance of protein, fat, and carbs, will KEEP YOUR INSULIN levels consistent and help with many health issues. Check with your doctors, of course, but I'd bet they'll have no issues with Zone. Lastly, I'd be happy to have you and Yoko as guests at my home near OKC. I'd love to take you both to see a show at the new Warren Theatre here in the Grand Auditorium or the Balcony. Get well and let me know if you feel up to a road trip sometime in the next few weeks or months.
Best of luck Harry! by superhero	May 20th, 2008 12:34:25 PM
Hope that you'll be up and about ASAP! Keep shakin' off that fat and get to your goal weight as healthily and happily as you can!
The Big Red One by Evil Lincoln	May 20th, 2008 12:37:25 PM
Take care of yourself, Harry. I have friend who had the operation done but is not following it up with a diet and excersise program. He has lost some weight but he's not helping matters by not eating right. Don't fall into the same trap as him and you'll do fine. We all hope to hear from you very soon.

Good Luck Harry... altho I'm kinda late by the_shogun_gunslinger	May 20th, 2008 01:06:54 PM
Havnt logged in in ages but had to give my well wishes to you big guy. I struggled with my weight for years as well and while i was never heavy enough to warrant surgery (heaviest was 290) i know several people who have gone under the same or similar surgeries with great results. Prepare for a new life harry... finally choosing to be healthy is a fantastic thing and i wish you the best. And to those who actually have the nerve to give harry shit about doing this the "easy" way, seriously.. fuck you. the substantial amount of weight loss harry has already done through hard work and exercise is a fucking miracle considering harry's lifestyle. Rapid weight loss is common for people like harry (and myself when i started dieting...13 pounds my first week, no drugs) its simply the body being shocked after a long period of inactivity and can seem like a miracle at first, but after 4-6 weeks people generally plateau and for someone with a history of obesity, this can be like a slap in the face and often leads to relapse. hang in there harry :) it'll be worth it.

Be well, dude. by Napoleon Park	May 20th, 2008 03:27:22 PM
Hey, Harry. I enjoy posting to your site here, even when I just have some smartass thing to say on a topic that doesn't concern me. I first got called fatso in 2nd grade and I'm 55 now. I once dieted and exercised down from 333 to 262 before hitting a discouraging plateau stage and getting awesome backaches. The worst part was that I'd dropped 70 pounds and converted a lot of fat to muscle but I was still, to anyone who never met me before, a big fat guy. The best thing was that I was stronger, had more stamina (and cleaner pores from the sweating) than ever... and had the best sex of my life. Forget the antiperspirants, sweating is your pal. And it looks like you have a lot of pals here, so let me one more voice in the crowd. From one Comic Book Guy to another, "Live Long and Prosper" dude.

Also, being able to reach your penis with both hands and wipe your own ass are good. On the downside, Poor harry - even if he turns himself into 180 pounds of solid muscle, he's still gonna be Carrottop.

No sympathy for you by 20 inch Pythons	May 20th, 2008 03:43:42 PM
You watched your waist expand and had to buy new pants. You know what you put in your mouth. This lap band is a cop out. Continue with your exercise regimen and eating well. ever watched "the biggest loser"? They don't use surgery to get results. They have had diabetes scares. Sack up and work out. Push away from the table.

One more thing Harry by Nico Toscani	May 20th, 2008 03:51:01 PM
Be sure to get all your excess skin cut off after you are done losing weight.
Good on you Harry... by skycrapper	May 20th, 2008 03:51:10 PM
for the life style change. It takes the fear of losing something to really initiate change. Stick with it and it will be the best thing you've ever done for yourself. Having a friend who's had a similar surgery and life style change, I can say it's made a huge difference in his quality of life and over all self confidence (as if you needed any more of that). Good luck and looking forward to your next post.
Harry will WALK around COMIC-CON again! by CENOBITE	May 20th, 2008 03:53:20 PM
I first met Harry at the San Diego Comic-Con in the 90's and he was just a 'big guy' then without the need of a wheelchair walking around the con. After this, he will be able to join back into our ranks of having sore feet from standing all freakin day long!

Harry = the Techno Viking? by CENOBITE	May 20th, 2008 03:59:34 PM
I just had a disturbing thought... there are those who when they do loose weight and become healthy, don't stop. In fact they become just as addicted to getting physically fit as they once did to food. It's rare, but it does happen. That's when I had the vision of Harry pointing his finger angrily at the haters and proceeding to violently dance in the street.

Get Well and a bit of advice.. by Ironmuskrat	May 20th, 2008 04:33:41 PM
I know two women have gotten this surgery so I just have few bits of advice. This procedure is a great way to start on losing weight but it isn't a miracle cure. After the surgery you will lose a quick 40 to 60 pounds, after that anymore weight loss is on you. Diet and exercise are your long term solution to keeping off the weight. Keep it simple, cut soft drinks(pure sugar) and bread(and other carbs) from your diet. Don't try to starve yourself, eat a normal amount of meals, just keep the portions small and healthy. Start out slow on the exercising, jumping into a complex and intense exercise program will just burn you out and discourage you. Just remember that after a fast start your weight loss will slow and you will have to work hard to keep losing weight. Good Luck Harry
man oh man by imascooby1985	May 20th, 2008 04:35:54 PM
I am really glad to hear the surgery was a success. Hopefully its just an early success in a line of many.

I've never even been overweight but... by theyreflockingthisway	May 20th, 2008 04:52:13 PM
I have never understood the unstoppable craving to keep eating even though you know you shouldn't. Personally I just wonder why people can't just fight these cravings and get by on normal meals - just assign yourself a normal portion each day and stick to it. Y'know just think "I'm still hungry, but had my food so know I'm not going to starve". Shouldn't you know not to get more snacks? Though, like I said, having never been overweight I'll assume I just don't understand and it's harder than I think to loose it. Anyway, despite any ignorance, I hope it works out however you solve it - This place has to be one of my fave online haunts being almost obsessed with movies. Though how is Wii Speed Racer? It best be as neon and cool looking as the movie.

i'm glad that you're home safe and sound, and that there was no stomach bursting. mostly, i'm glad there was no stomach bursting. get well and enjoy the beginning of this new chapter of your life.
theyreflockingthisway by Craig2574	May 20th, 2008 04:56:22 PM
Its not that easy for some people who are overweight just to assign a normal portion. At times food is an addiction just as liqour is to others.
Well done! by maverick2484	May 20th, 2008 04:56:27 PM
As I countdown the days till Indy 4, it occurred to me that I've been coming to this site for over 10 years to get my daily dose of Indy rumours, Batman rumours and so many others.

Have you tried a new revolutionary technique to fight obesity? by ak4212	May 20th, 2008 05:27:36 PM
Maybe put down the wii remote and jog a mile. Are you sure its not the Republicans fault you're fat? You blamed them for everything else. I love how Harry hates conservatives but owns every DVD ever made where a girl gets raped. I just summed up the problem we all have with the liberal mindset for you people.
Phew, thank god for that by theycallmemrglass	May 20th, 2008 05:32:19 PM
Now start writing your second autobiography on film producing, marriage, and dieting. You got quite a story to tell methinks...
How is that game Harry?? by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	May 20th, 2008 05:34:02 PM
I loved the movie but movie can sometimes be the suck. Impressions?
I love me some food too... by MJAYACE	May 20th, 2008 05:34:57 PM
I just try to work out enough that I can still eat what I want within reason. I have maintained about 220 (I am 6'4) for over 10 years now. Good to hear everything went well, Harry. Although the real task is only just beginning. My suggestion is you set a goal of walking on a treadmill for at least half of every movie you watch (put the treadmill in front of your screen) and eat reasonably and you will be 195 in no time. Unfortunately for you and many of us who sit at a desk, our profession isn't that ameiable to exercise. You have the added detractor of being able to eat while you "work". I am sure your Dr has a plan but it is never that easy. Maybe if you only ate away from the movies and limited eating out or restaurant prepped food once a month? Oh well, best of luck to you. Last piece of advice is to drink at least 8 oz of water BEFORE every meal to lessen the hunger. WHEN IS A REVIEW OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK COMING UP? Somebody has to have seen it. I think I am the only one who think it looks great (and I liked the Ang Lee version except for the last fight).
What are Harry's critics getting out of their negativity? by Boromir	May 20th, 2008 05:36:07 PM
Simple: They're desperately trying to generate feelings of superiority for themselves, because that's what narcissists do. "It's all about personal responsibility, and all you have to do is be master of your domain just like me, blah, blah, blah." The degree to which these bastards lack empathy is pathetic and scary. (And no, this isn't about you, theyreflockingthisway--you readily admit that you don't quite understand.) Anyone who's faced a struggle to control behavior against the "will" of their own brain gets this. And even people who don't should be able to grasp it, because who the FUCK goes to the expense and trouble and pain and risk of surgery simply because they're lazy? You can argue till the cows come home that fat people ought to "just" do this or do that. It's all bullshit. The weakness doesn't lie in their inability to "just eat less" or "just exercise more"--the weakness lies in your OWN inability to have some fucking empathy for a fellow human being, or to even wish them well when they're willing to go to drastic lengths to change. As a man who has suffered from major clinical depression, I know what it's like to feel emasculated by my inability to control my own emotions. I was so embarrassed by it that I didn't seek help for years and consequently ended up on the brink of suicide. Anyone who'd tell someone in that condition to "just stop being a goddamn pussy" is certifiably cruel and inhuman. And yet some folks here seem perfectly willing to spout similar shit with regard to Harry's surgery. Do some people lose weight solely by way of diet and exercise? Sure. Some people also experience spontaneous remissions of depression. But lots more don't. Lots of people struggle against constant powerful urges to eat that others simply can't comprehend or understand. Some people become physically unable to exercise well before they are able to come to grips with what is happening and try to stop it. Whatever the reason is, if you're not dealing with the problem, then you really have no place passing judgment on those who are. In ANY case, Harry does not deserve to be judged by assholes here on his own site when all he's done is announce his surgery. He's recognized that he needs to make a change, and has chosen a path in consultation with a physician. If you can't with the man well, then how about just staying the fuck away for a while?
Now this is cool news. by Yeti	May 20th, 2008 05:45:21 PM
Glad your doing well so soon after surgery Harry. Take it easy, you'll be running marathons in no time.

Why am I not surprised... by Fleet	May 20th, 2008 06:01:01 PM
...that there's a whole tonne of fat bastards on here clapping their hands and cheering for Harry getting surgery? So Harry - If this DOES work, and you don't get slippage from the band... and it doesn't erode into your stomach wall - What the HELL are you going to do about all the excess skin folds your body has developed after years and years of being morbidly obese? No... wait... let me guess... MORE surgery? Of course...

Happy recovery and moving forward, Mr. Knowles. You make a lot of people happy with this site (even though for many people, that manifests itself as being grotesque boors to one another; guess it's still happiness, though). Be well.
Congratulations on the surgery going well! by kyle051554	May 20th, 2008 06:23:14 PM
Although I gotta say, the pictures inside of you were an image that I don't think I'm ever going to get out of my head. Having watched "Temple of Doom" today, the picture of your insides reminds me of the dinner scene with the baby snakes crawling out of the sliced belly of the mama python.

Man Glider by HEADGEEK	May 20th, 2008 06:29:06 PM
Ah - the loose skin question. well - there's where the body building and skin oils come into play. By remaining on an Atkins-esque diet - watching my carbs - and going for protein - then spending at least an hour a day in the gym doing serious weight training and body building - you transform. The largest concentration of fat on my body is literally the belly/torso area. My ass is actually rather small. My arms have already begun transforming into guns. very little fat there or in the shoulder, neck and upper back area. -- Once these wounds heal up - I'll be hitting the ab machines with little abandon. Attacking that belly from a caloric and a muscle devouring fat annihilation. As it is - my doctor was extremely surprised by how great my interior was - in shape. And the photos he showed me confirmed it. Hopefully I'll have the video soon to share. That'll be wicked awesome! I don't relish SURGERY as an answer - at this point - it will be about transforming myself and doing the right things - very similar to what Pregnant women do when they fight to get their figures back. It really is about 90% resolve.
Yeah! by BDT	May 20th, 2008 06:29:44 PM
So cool! Take it easy and enjoy that cool, refreshing icey water (it doesn't leak out of those holes, does it? I want a picture if it does!) Take it easy, cause some of the discomfort might be delayed and you don't want to make things worse by Wii-ing yourself out! So happy for you!

Losing weight is what you've been waiting for all your life. Life's short so take it easy. I wish ye a near-immortal Highlander status. The way to near-immortality is to eat well (acid-concentrated fruits), exercise regularly, think clearly & positively and live less stressful. And drink lots and LOTS of mineral water.

Hey Harry, re: working the abs by chrth	May 20th, 2008 06:41:13 PM
You can't spot reduce, man. Attacking the ab machines may get you stronger abs, but they won't do anything for the fat on top of it. So don't overdo the abs workout, you'll just end up with a sore back and that'll kill any momentum. Diet and aerobic exercise will be enough to take out the stomach fat.
congrats big guy! by BadMrWonka	May 20th, 2008 06:43:48 PM
after you are in great shape, you can work on grammar and punctuation! I keed,I keed! looking forward to your transformation, and congrats on completing Act I...

Abs Machine? Springing back like a pregnant woman's body... by Fleet	May 20th, 2008 07:00:41 PM
...Dude, have you been brainwashed? The abs machine won't do shit in regards to burning the fat, and you'd have far more gain working core strength (because your back and torso are seriously going to require it if this weight loss actually works) - PS - A womans body is made to spring back... and 9 months of slow growth is a lot different to reversing the years of sloth your body has endured... I seriously question your doctor, mate, if that the advice he's been giving you... Sounds like some quack working out the back shed of a small mexican hovel...

Get Noggin' Support too by maroon	May 20th, 2008 07:05:44 PM
Harry, As a note of warning, make sure you get into a support group and get some counseling. Lots and lots of people get the physical part taken care of, yet ultimately ignore their emotional/psychological need for food. They don't work on their mental state and eat themselves right back into problems again. That's a huge component, don't ignore it!
I don't know alot, but fuck all this shit...... by rockstarr2000	May 20th, 2008 07:06:58 PM
Harry... It's not your fault. Look at me, Harry... It's not your fault. No, no, no... It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!!!! You can weep on my shoulder if you want, buddy.
from a fellow fat ass by SpanksterOfLove	May 20th, 2008 07:09:16 PM
I look forward to reading updates on your post-surgery weight loss, Harry. I've been toying with the idea of surgery for a long time myself. I applaud you, sir!

Real inspiring what you are doing here. BTW, if you don't already have a "Vita-Mix," I highly recommend that you procure one. This is the Grizzly Bear of all blenders. At 8000 RPMs you will be able to reduce purt near any substance you desire into liquid or powder. Peace.

It's safer to be at home. All it takes is one nurse to go from treating some dude with insyphylorrhea tubercutitis to sticking her finger in your new bloody second belly button, and it's all over with.
Good Deal by picardsucks	May 20th, 2008 07:30:13 PM
Now when you recover you are going to join a healthclub!! We want you to do it right bro and stay healthy. With your frame over time you could get pretty jacked and it's an awesome stress outlet

What's so nasty about a pic of a stomach? by Boromir	May 20th, 2008 07:42:29 PM
I mean, if it was crawling with cockroach larvae or slit open and worn as a hat by some Inuit, that would be nasty. But just a stomach with a Lap Band on it? Big deal.

You think Lap Band stories are sad, sinister. by Boromir	May 20th, 2008 07:55:19 PM
Verne Troyer once got drunk at a children's birthday party he was hired to entertain at and told my second cousin that all he really ever wanted was to be an NBA star. I still cry myself to sleep thinking about that.
Nice Work, Harry. by spiderinside	May 20th, 2008 07:56:19 PM
I'm stoked that you got this done for yourself. As much as I love your site, your reviews, and the cheerful geek that comes across in everything you write, I have to admit that I was pretty grossed out by the care you took of yourself. It's good to see that you've finally sacked up and done what needed to be done. I work in healthcare, and I'm constantly amazed at the way obesity destroys lives. Congrats on making a huge step to getting healthy. Not only for yourself, but for your wife, family and friends. Way to go.

My workout routine by HEADGEEK	May 20th, 2008 08:17:11 PM
Is far more intense than just abs. I'm working on every muscle group with the exact same intensity. Currently benching 210. Curling 110. High rowing 160. Regular rowing 125. Inclined press - 150. Overhead press 150. There's another 5 machines that I'm forgetting at the moment - but I do 3 sets of reps of 10 - and on the last set I go till I can't push, pull, curl another time. If I can do another 10, the next time I go in - I increase the overall weight by 10lbs and that becomes my new work out weight. I'm also working the legs and abs very intensely - as they were the most abused areas of my body. The wheelchair having really taken their toll. As soon as coordination and strength allows - I'll be doing the bike workouts and then, God Willing the Ellyptical, Stair climbing machine and the treadmill... which I would attempt to devote another hour worth of workout to. And yes - swimming is something my wife and I do at Barton Springs - on the days we feel a bit sore - and it relaxes and allows all the muscles to work together.

PLANT!!!!! Oh wait.... by Han Cholo	May 20th, 2008 08:29:38 PM
I lost over 60 lbs in 3 months, basically just eating chicken, carne asada, 85-90% fat free hamburger and steak that wasn't rib eye or filet mignon. Rounded that out with a lot of vegetables (used a lot of country crock) and drank something other than soda, like water or apple juice and I saw dramatic results in two weeks. Seriously, once you're over the hump by not eating sweets and shit, your body gets used to it and eating right, or what i did here, becomes easy. And I was eating at least 2-3 pounds of meat a day and still lost a shitload of weight. It's called the Core diet or something.
Hey Harry... by ZaphodBeeblerox	May 20th, 2008 08:32:54 PM
Dont generally post a lot, but I do check the site several times a day. Glad to hear the surgery went well for you. My wife was recently diagnosed with Diabetes as well and its been a real wake up call for both of us healthwise as well. Sincere best wishes for a good recovery and here's hoping that you continue with the drive to take control of your health and get to where you want to be. God Bless and thanks for always managing to bring a little dose of humor and occasionally some neat behind the scenes stuff into an otherwise stuffy work day.

i'm at about 217 to 220 myself and i'm 50, (6 ft) and for my height i should be around what? 190 or so. i take b/p, chloseterol and a beta and still have twinges. i myself try to get to the gym 4 or 5 times a week and huffing n puffing somewhat on the treadmill and lift the girly man 25 pd weights. at least i'm doing something. (can't quite get myself to go everyday though.) at the same time, i think i eat better but again, i'll still hit the buffet place sometimes, the difference now is restricting myself to one plate but with only seafood veggies and fruit on it. and at home because i don't cook, i alternate between cans of veggies and different types of beans (i need more fiber because the doctor who did my colonoscopy said i have a shitty colon--literally). granted i don't have diabetes but concern that your heart will give out any second ain't exactly living in the fun zone (to quote bob kelso from scrubs). but like alot of setbacks in life, only you have the power to help you. (sorry for the hallmark moment.) i'll be thinking of you as i huff and puff n sweat at the gym!)

Everyone knows it's okay to pay out the big fat guy, call him names and make fun of him... UNTIL he goes into surgery for being a big fat guy... then you have to stop... because then it's not okay... For some reason, then it's WRONG to pay him out about being the big fat lazy guy... Nope, then you have to SUPPORT him... Make sense... Yeah, makes PERFECT sense, dont it...

Well, lapband surgery should definitely help take care of the problem. It is kind of weird to see the bearded fat guys like Guillermo Del Toro, Peter Jackson and now you losing their trademark girth, but good for you. Just don't choose a losing lapband format (if such a thing exists) or anything and you will be fine!

Fasting!!! by Media Messiah	May 20th, 2008 09:35:52 PM
You will be astounded at how much weight you will lose just from the week of fasting alone. Your doctor may allow you to have baby food, Animal Crackers (cookies), and apple sauce...trust me, you'll get use to it until you can have solids--so ask him if it's okay. And there are frozen fruit pops...and fruit juices..but you should do half a cup fruit juice to a half a cup water so you don't get a big rush of sugar all at once...just make sure it is 100% fruit juice, no added sugar or corn syrup. Whole Foods has a nice supply of such juices...and Welch's has at least one or two grape juices like that. read the label to make sure!!! Well, congratulations on your surgery Harry...or should I say, soon to be skinny guy???!!!

Seriously. You've started the process and seen what diet and exercise can do. If the lapband is what's going to get you "over the top" then so be it. But remember a tied-off stomach means nothing if you aren't active and eating right. All the best Harry and I hope to see less of you more and more. sincerely, MT

gone are the days when the 'geeks' are revered as losers that have never seen a naked girl. most people that post here have made decent lives for themselves, and have gone on to pretty good levels of success. so yeah, you're probably proud of yourself for 'nailing that hot chick' last night..guess what, i did too. but thats not the point, the point is that you're posting messages in geek central..we all love this place, and even if we disagree with harry often, he still created a place for us. so, fuck you and your spite. save it for the clone wars talkback (ill be happy to join you in the hate-fest, i like bitching as much as any of us.) for now just be fucking happy that harry is taking whatever steps (whether you agree with them or not) to prolong his happy cinema-loving life and stay with us.

i dont give a fuck about morals. rape a little girl's puppy for all i care. but i appreciate the forum that harry has provided for us here, even if i rarely agree with him. I'm not even saying you shouldn't call harry a fat, hypocrite, fuck when he deserves it.. all im saying is that this post and thread is about his health, and even though i dont agree with him at times, doesnt mean i dont appreciate the place he's given us to vent our love for cinema. if we didnt care, we wouldnt come here and post. so best wishes to one of the original people to understand how i feel about the pop-culture i care about.
oh, by the way... by soup74	May 20th, 2008 10:27:27 PM

Glad to have you back.
So does this mean you're going to update the site now? by jimmay	May 20th, 2008 10:30:31 PM
Don't get me wrong, congratulations on the surgery and all, but, in all seriousness, the site needs some TLC. It's been better the last couple of weeks, but for a while there, I had to check out any other movie site but this one to get some decent news. And I'd really rather come here. You just can't beat Aintitcool's talkbacks, in all their magnificent savagery.

Harry's Surgery Pics have destroyed the interwebz... by Beeslo	May 20th, 2008 10:37:55 PM
Seriously, your pics obviously broke the server.

saying "HARRY I GOING TO FUCK YOUR SOUL APART!" is pretty funny. no one is disputing that.

Hells no... by Han Ol' Buddy	May 20th, 2008 10:41:39 PM
BOBs (breakfast on a bun) from Whataburger are the BOMB! I think the last time I had one was like 10 years ago when I was going to school at ASU. Oh, I miss.
I don't get the Harry hate. by Stevie Grant	May 20th, 2008 10:41:53 PM
This is his site. Without him, there would be no AICN. Yeah, he had to resort to surgery to counter his lack of discipline with regards to eating and exercise... but so what? It's his body and life, not any of your bodies or lives... he has every right to do whatever the hell he wants with his own body. Leave the man the fuck alone unless you want to complain about his reviews or postings or something else along those lines.
Good luck, Mr. Knowles... by Chishu_Ryu	May 20th, 2008 10:43:50 PM

THAT'S A WORD, STEVIE by BringingSexyBack	May 20th, 2008 10:44:13 PM
Life's short, and if technology gives you a harmless shortcut from obese to healthy, you take it. Who gives a shit what brought Harry to this place to begin with as long as he makes amends now?
Sure Soup74 by Fleet	May 20th, 2008 10:45:19 PM
You win... I'll leave you and the other Chubby-Chasers to your circle-jerk of mutual support and admiration coz guess what? I really don't actually care that much... well, I don't care as much as you guys all seem to care - But hey, what should I have expected? This is like geek central, it's only natural you'd all band together waving the flag of fat support...
exactly fleet by soup74	May 20th, 2008 10:52:00 PM
you get it. im not trying to say you're wrong, all im saying is that this particular talk back is not the place for your vitroil. i love the people who post here..we NEED people like you, and it would be just as shortsighted of me to not realize that.
Great to see you well, Har– OH MY GOD! by YotzVonFrelnik	May 20th, 2008 10:55:29 PM
That's stock footage for an effed up horror movie right there. Pay off your medical bills with the proceeds.
Good luck and God bless you, Harry. by ExcaliburFfolkes	May 20th, 2008 10:57:31 PM
We're all pulling for you to succeed at this and looking forward to the new svelte Harry you're becoming.
YAY! You made it. :D by CherryValance	May 20th, 2008 11:05:07 PM
I was worried. Surgery freaks me out. Take it easy for now. But I think there is a 'Dancing with the Stars' video game you could try when you're ready. I'm only suggesting that because you said you wanted to dance with the missus. So that way you could get in shape and learn the dances at the same time. :) Good luck again.
Soul by Stevie Grant	May 20th, 2008 11:10:49 PM
While you get a 10 out of 10 troll rating, you need to do more than just insult: otherwise you conjure up the image of the South Park WoW "badass." But, then again, that which has no live cannot be killed.
As a fellow fat bastard... by thewoodpecker	May 20th, 2008 11:11:33 PM
God's speed and a great recovery. Get healthy you fat fuck!
Hey Harry...you do us all a service, my friend. by Brians Life	May 20th, 2008 11:11:49 PM
...love to see some pics of your home theater set up. I'd like to see where the big man watches his movies. Perhaps you could be wearing a shirt in them though. Best of luck, Harry. For all the knocks and easy laughs, none of us would be at this site with out you, man. So, thanks for giving me and my film geek friends stuff to bitch or rejoice about. Get better, brother!

crap, I meant "life"
Damn Harry by Stevie Grant	May 20th, 2008 11:16:21 PM
who the hell is deleting Suit & Tie/Soul's posts so quickly? Regardless, I've already called dibs if DarthMacchio's TB death-matches ever come to pass.
I KNOW WHAT MY NEW BACKGROUND IS!!!!!!!!!! by Series7	May 20th, 2008 11:27:56 PM
HEY HARRY, how is the Speed Racer Wii? I've heard good thing, but I haven't seen much in the way of reviews any where. Funny how Iron Man the movie, lover by the critics, Iron Man game (promised to be ground breaking) hated by the critics. Sly on Leno, god damn Rambo was the best movie ever made.
Mohammed.... by Fleet	May 20th, 2008 11:36:05 PM
I know you might not agree with my point of view (that Harry really doesn't doesn't deserve kudos for being a morbidly obese guy who's taken the easy way out) but ease up, turbo - I'm not sure where you're getting all this "Fleet does this, fleet does that" crap - But hell, you're embarassing yourself more than I ever did...
The Old Harry Has Left the Building! by NoHubris	May 20th, 2008 11:37:31 PM
Welcome to the new Harry! Count me in as a member of your cheering section as you reach each and every one of your goals. Congrats!
IS WHAT IN 3-D? by BringingSexyBack	May 21st, 2008 12:00:27 AM
Are you high on Bone Jangles' herb?
FLEET by BringingSexyBack	May 21st, 2008 12:06:27 AM
Mohammed hasn't come anywhere near close to embarassing himself as much as you. Harry was diagnosed with diabetes, so he undertook a regimen of diet and exercise and shed 52 pounds in what, 6 weeks? And now he got a lapband to control his appetite so doesn't falter, all with the support of his loving wife. What part of that was "the easy way out"? Don't bother answering, let's not embarass ourselves any further ...
Hey BringingSexyBack by Fleet	May 21st, 2008 12:13:24 AM
Easy way out? Hmmm lets see... Good points you bring up... What a shame his mature age onset diabetes was brought on by his extremely unhealthy lifestyle to begin with? The fact that SUDDENLY that spurned him into a regime of diet and exercise, when being a fat fuck in the first place didn't motivate him to do anything before hand... How if he had kept a control on things, it would never had come to that... Yeah, I'd say (like millions of others do, might I add, not just referring to the supporters of this website, I'm talking GLOBALLY, fuckwit) that resorting to surgery is the "easy way out"...
wowwwzz.... by second cousin of phartegod	May 21st, 2008 12:20:45 AM
Maybe Spielberg can cast your old stomach as the main villain for Indy 5. It sure as hell would have more personality than Kate Blanchett, that's for sure.

Why did you have to kill Kuato Harry? by Mace Tofu	May 21st, 2008 12:27:00 AM
Sure he ate half your food and made you do all the work but having him removed was a little extreme... poor fellow : ( Well what is done is done so good luck and I hope you stay infection free during your recovery.
LOOK UP FOOD ADDICTION, GENIUS by BringingSexyBack	May 21st, 2008 12:28:52 AM
Or any kind of addiction. You'll find a treasure trove of addicts to lambast across the globe. You can bash nicotine, gambling, heroin, sex addicts ... take your pick. All these addictions are potentially life-destroying. If a quick outpatient procedure is all it takes to "cure" all these addictions, then count humanity lucky to have such a technology. "Easy way out" or not.
UGH!!! What the HECK??? >:P by TheGhostWhoLurks	May 21st, 2008 12:33:48 AM
Why are you showing us your fresh surgery scars?! Then again, this whole 'site is pretty much Harry's inner exhibitionist at work, so I guess I shouldn't be that shocked... but STILL! YUCK!! >:O That said, I hope you get better soon and do the necessary work to make the surgery effective! Take care...
whoa! that's intense! by aboriginal	May 21st, 2008 12:55:47 AM

What is it about obits... by DocPazuzu	May 21st, 2008 01:18:08 AM
...and things like this Harry story that bring out the most insecure and offensive of posters, like Spidermanfreak20 and Fleet? Some people seem so threatened by any anything of a personal or emotional nature that they pathetically lash out with callous "tough guy" talk as soon as they can. Fleet's simply an anonymous TB asshole and Spidermanfreak20 is the sad, smelly bastard who wrote those endless and anally retentive tracts on why Pixar's Cars "wouldn't work" and even posted clips on himself on YouTube holding lectures (to himself) on the subject. Yeah, you guys are real winners.
DocPazuzu by Fleet	May 21st, 2008 01:31:40 AM
Just as entitled to my opinion as you are, bucko - I don't think he deserves kudos - Simple as that... I don't think it's a "good thing" that he's gone and done this, nor do i think it's a "good thing" that people think it's an okay and acceptable solution to his problem... if that makes me an anonymous TB asshole, then so be it - Hell, I don't care how you paint it...
DocPazuzu... by Fleet	May 21st, 2008 01:33:23 AM
...And tell me, how on earth does that make me insecure?

Glad to hear it went well man, we all love your site so much no matter how much some people complain. Now write a damn book or get a biography or something.
Even though by artismything	May 21st, 2008 01:55:42 AM
Mostly every reader on this site is a cunt, it's nice to see everyone has the dignity to wish you a safe treatment. good luck bro
YAY!!! by Neosamurai85	May 21st, 2008 02:00:15 AM
Me and the opossums, we were praying to the great can-o-lemur lube in the sky that you would be well. It makes us most happy to see you are so. Looking forward to griping at gushing geek-gasmic (or gastric) soaked reviews of over hyped movies while taking notes of films I need to see from your DVD column. The world is a much more interesting place with you in it man. Take it easy. Peace.
Also by Neosamurai85	May 21st, 2008 02:02:08 AM
Damn! You have been working out! I guess I haven't seen a picture of you in a while, but I can totally see the weight loss. Great job man and keep up the good work.
Get well soon! by webbish6	May 21st, 2008 02:04:16 AM
Wishing you the best kind of speedy recovery. Take good care of yourself.
Fleet by DocPazuzu	May 21st, 2008 02:14:45 AM
How it makes you insecure? Well, perhaps the fact that I see several talkbackers here who actually share your views on the responsibility of obese people vis-á-vis their health yet feel enough confidence in themselves that they can set those views aside long enough to wish Harry well. Make of that what you will. Maybe you can turn it into a matter of how badass you are for not compromising on this subject?
Harry deserves credit by Boromir	May 21st, 2008 02:25:06 AM
...for not banning the IP range of fuckwits like Fleet and soulfucker. The gross abuse of their posting privileges is just another indicator of how fucked up these twats really are--as if any indicator outside of their own words was necessary. Lack of class, scruples, and humanity is a choice in this case, and getting your ass shunned from a community you obviously care about is weak punishment for being such a dick. Remember kids: No sane person has ever accused the Allies of hypocrisy for trying to smear Hitler's innards across the floor with a copy of Mein Kampf.
All the best... by rost	May 21st, 2008 02:30:07 AM
from Switzerland! You look thinner already. Hope its because of this thing inside you and not some bloody gypsy curse...
Abs alone won't cut it, Harry. by King_Knut	May 21st, 2008 02:30:33 AM
Seriously, you need more complete, deep core training. Balance boards and work with medicine balls are really good for that (both together even better, if bloody tough). Dorsal raises and leg raises are worth a shout too.
Seriously... by spiderinside	May 21st, 2008 02:38:17 AM
How can any one of you assholes talk shit about Harry for going under the knife to take charge of a problem that has been going on for years? When people get as fat as Harry (no offense intended, big guy) it's almost always because they really do have a genetic predisposition to obesity. Sure they probably don't eat very well, but neither do I (or most of you), I'm just lucky enough to have an insane metabolism. What Harry did was take advantage of advances in medicine to turn his life around. If Harry had a congenital heart defect, would any of you assholes gripe on him for getting it repaired? Of course not. Why can't you just be happy that we have the capability to help people turn their lives around for the better. Honestly, if you had a relative/friend who's health was deteriorating right in front of you due to their obesity, wouldn't you encourage them to take advantage of every potential treatment available in order to get their health back on track. Fuckin' take a step back, think about it, and just be happy for the guy. I'm out, bitches (you know who you are)...
Do we really need those pictures? by J-Dizzle	May 21st, 2008 02:52:31 AM
Answer: No! Reason: Disgusting!
Kudos Harry by m_reporter	May 21st, 2008 02:57:00 AM
Seriously, it's a ballsy thing when a man recognizes his faults and does something about it. I hope you keep us posted on your looks, its gonna be like Peter Jacksons King Kong video diaries.
Harry, you glorious Geek...! by Big Dumb Ape	May 21st, 2008 03:03:07 AM
Glad to hear the operation went well since we all are really pulling for you. And for working in the line about Raquel Welch in her swimsuit, you show that even in pain and while recovering from surgery a Geek's still gotta be a Geek! Get well soon, Big Guy soon to be a Smaller Guy!
Hey, speaking of Harry playing SPEED RACER on the Wii... by Big Dumb Ape	May 21st, 2008 03:07:30 AM
Has anyone played the SPEED RACER Wii game? On the one hand I don't know if its worth the bucks, yet the kid in me that grew up on Speed Racer would certainly like to try it...
Good Job On Putting This Upfront & Out There... by Grinning White Skull	May 21st, 2008 03:21:07 AM
Congratulations on facing this so well and allowing others to see. To be truthful I've worried a bit about your health for a while and this gesture says a lot about you as a person. I hope it helps a lot of people deal with the complications concerning their health and well-being. Good job, Harry, and good luck with balancing your health with your life.
Judging by that pic by SUPERJIM	May 21st, 2008 03:24:51 AM
I would suggest that Harry get himself a maid to clean up his house! Oh, and a new carpet. Does this guy have money or not?
Glad to see the operation went great, Harry! by Spifftacular Squirrel Girl	May 21st, 2008 03:50:42 AM
On a side note: gotta love the distubing post-surgery pics. Post those of the fridge while you're at it? =p
Fleet and other nay-sayers... by Scarecrow_13	May 21st, 2008 03:58:30 AM
So where did you get your medical degree and when did you see Harry about his case? Maybe you know/love someone who has undergone this procedure and has had less than stellar results? Understandable that you might want to warn others, but consider the context of your advice. After someone has consulted their own health care professionals and formed a plan of action, it's kinda moot, innit? But if you're just berating someone for their lifestyle choices, well, I suppose you're perfect in every way and are gifting them with your unbiased, heartfelt advice to improve their lives, eh? Seriously, do you really feel that bad about the size of "that certain part of the male body" that you have to jump on someone else about their choices? Grow up.
Oh, and BTW... by Scarecrow_13	May 21st, 2008 04:01:12 AM
Good luck with it all Harry...
Congrats on your surgery! by Tenacious J	May 21st, 2008 04:05:44 AM
I just joined in order to say congratulations Harry. I've been waiting about three years for gastric bypass myself and have a date for it in late June. Don't let the moronic haters get to you, it's been proven scientifically that obesity is a disease. I don't know if you've ever checked out www.obesityhelp.com but I've been a member for about a year and it's a great source of support and information for the rough patches. Best of luck and happy healing!

Is it because this is a film review site by Boromir	May 21st, 2008 07:01:15 AM

I admire Harry by Drathan	May 21st, 2008 08:04:10 AM
Its so easy for people to dis him because he's not into censoring these talkbacks much, but the fact is that a lot of us admire Harry for what he's done. A self-made man, built an empire out of something he loves, movies. He has been generous with it too. He helped me when I needed some credibility while fighting FOX. I'm slowly moving closer to realizing some dreams of my own, in hollywood. I'll always keep Harry in mind first.

God bless you Harry, but next do something about the hair by ArcadianDS	May 21st, 2008 09:03:59 AM
the beard and the hippie hair is cool when you have a full head of it, but seriously brother, you're about 2 years away from being Ben Franklin. Nows the time to go with something new/different. I submit Bruce Willis into evidence. Soon as he started getting to the 'hairpiece or shave it' stage, he moved to the 'jean-luc Picard' fuzz, and then gradually shaved it tighter and tighter to cueball. I dont advocate the cueball - Telly Savalas owned that both here and in the hereafter, but you gotta shed the locks for real. Ben Franklin, brother. Ben Franklin.
That second photo by skimn	May 21st, 2008 09:07:56 AM
is that a porno shot directed by Eli Roth? Yeeeez... BTW Harry, hope you keep up the commitment to eat well and exercise. Once it becomes a part of your daily life you'll never feel better. Best of health!!

Glad to hear everything went well Harry! Take it easy - you should totally bust out some of your favorite movies to watch while you're recovering. That always makes me feel a bit better when im not 100% (who am i kidding, i'm sure by now you're already headlong into your collection)

Series7...Wii Speed Racer Vs Iron Man by Quake II	May 21st, 2008 10:36:24 AM
The XBox 360 Iron Man was repetitive and extremely lame. Graphics were good but it was the same thing over and over (fly aroung blowing shit up on the ground. Speed Racer on the Wii is very addicting and fun. Excellent control, cool tracks and voice work from the film cast. Almost makes me want to buy a Wii.

And in general how about we ease up on the preaching? Or post your pic and stats along with your preaching so we can see if you practice it too. In the words of Fred Rogers, Harry, I like you just the way you are. Nothing wrong with getting healthier and better, that's what life is about. You do your own thing, man,for you.

When Harry tells everyone what he is doing on a "film review site", I think that makes it fair game. I DO hope he does well, I DON'T agree with his decision. I think it is a lazy and dangerous decision. When you go from a 36" to a 40" waistband that is a wake up call. Too often, people are rewarded or applauded for "well he is making an effort now". BFD. This isn't the special Olympics, not everyone should get a ribbon.

You could then use that as the animated Harry. Up to you if you run it fat to thin or thin to fat. That would be cool.

I am a new resident of Austin, TX, a transplant from the Bay Area. I was at an Austin Target around 8PM that same night (the 19th) and saw harry tooling around in the Target "jazzy". I didn't want to bother him so I didn't say anything to him. I guess he really DID feel good after the surgery! Good luck with everything Harry!

While I wish Harry good luck with the surgery I'm sure I speak for most surfers out here when I say that nobody needs to see your gross stomach cause it made me puke. Seeing a fat stomach really crosses the line and Harry has poor taste in posting that. One way to gross out online surfers is to post your fast stomach ...

Man, you just can't stop looking for shit to dump on. by Boromir	May 21st, 2008 07:24:07 PM
Your self-esteem repository doesn't HAVE to be a giant sucking black hole, you know, Fleet. You can find a reason to be positive about the folks around you as well as the folks you meet on the Internet. As for me? Since yesterday morning: Two hours of volunteer work with disabled children at the rodeo arena. Organized department response to the death of a faculty member's mother. Lasagna made, live plant chosen as a memorial gift, donations being collected for flowers. Two pages written on my dissertation. Car inspected and a load of laundry washed and folded. Began review of a possible replacement text for a course I'm teaching in the fall. All that, and I still have the will and the time to be a sympathetic, positive human being instead of an overtly hateful piece of shit. So what's your excuse for making that choice?
Boromir by Fleet	May 21st, 2008 07:43:29 PM
Wow mate... Volunteer work with disabled children?! Live plants as memorial gifts?! Two pages on your dissertation?!... Wow... You're a saint! So reverent! So pious!.... BUT - I still don't know how me having a different opinion to you (which I won't reiterate... you can trawl back through the thread and find it again if you must...) a hateful piece of shit... Sounds to me, like you have issues of your own to deal with... But hey, enjoy the disabled kids... cry a tear over the dead mother... keep working hard at that dissertation of yours... Sounds like you're one busy little beaver...

Your opinion on Harry's surgery is utterly beside the point, as has been pointed out to you at least a dozen times No, it's not your opinion that makes you a true jerk. It's your cynical, vitriolic, gutless insistence on airing it when you've already been given tons of great reasons to behave civilly and respectfully. It's your attempted treatment of people who respond to the bullshit you spew, and your complete lack of concern for anyone or anything other than you and your own opinion. You haven't done a thing for the good of anyone else here, and certainly not out of concern for Harry; all you've done is make a complete ass of yourself, and then lash out at folks who throw it back at you. Sorry, bub, but everything you've done here demonstrates that my label was entirely appropriate. So there's no need to be sarcastic about my activities; you could make similar choices if you cared enough about yourself and others to do so.

Boromir - You self righteous fuck... by Fleet	May 21st, 2008 08:33:51 PM
...I care about others... I just don't care for Harry - He's a complete stranger, and whilst I frequent the site, I certainly don't say I "know him" or indeed "love him" like 3/4's of the people in this thread... I think it's egotistical enough that it's gone this far to have an entire story and thread on his surgery... It's a fucking movie gossip tabloid... You don't agree with me, that's fine - I don't care if you don't agree with me... I still stand by me belief that if he wasn't a lazy-ass fuck to begin with, he wouldn't have ever needed the surgery - And yes, the surgery is a cop-out... the easy option... And yes, I think it's ridiculous that he let it go so far as it did before he actually had to have a doctor tell him to go and do it... Keep going though - Keep calling me names, keep waving your hands and shaking your head - I find it incredible that my "opinion on Harrys surgery is utterly beside the point" since this is actually a fucking thread discussing that exact topic... Im not making it something else - You are - And you're making it something else because you don't agree with my opinion... THAT'S what's so hypocritical in what you're saying... Going as far to explain your day, waxing lyrical about helping the less fortunate with your spare time during the day - Dude, I don't give a fuck... This whole thing is about Harry and his lapband surgery... I disagreed... and now it's come to this... Keep going though...
Fleet is basically right by HEADGEEK	May 21st, 2008 09:06:59 PM
I'm not a hero for going this route - but given my lower back injury - which at one point left me paralyzed below the waist. It was during that paralysis in my life where I gained so much weight. Then I fought my way back to walking - and I dieted and got about 125 lbs off - but around the time I shot my pilot - I re-injured my back - which limited my mobility - then when I broke my leg - it put me in the wheelchair - where I've been ever since... adding to the weight. In all this time, I just frankly never cared about my health - I was more interested in the site, films and day to day life. That is sad - and for years - many of you in Talkback have been harping on me to lose weight - and I laughed cuz it was always a joke to me. But when I found Yoko - and we started making plans for kids - I realized I didn't want to be the way I was for them. Guillermo Del Toro had been insisting that I go the Lapband route - he loves it. And it isn't easy - no dieting is. What this does is gives me a tool to not just lose the weight, but maintain when I get where I want to get. Fact is - I should have never given up the gym when I came to college. I loved it in High School, but just felt I'd never make the time. I was a fool. That said - when you're trying to lose 200 lbs from a wheelchair... you really do need every advantage. Losing 50lbs via hard work and self control was very empowering - and my plan was to just continue that - because it didn't look like Aetna was going to approve the process, but they did. But there's nothing easy about it. I deserve a lot of the ridicule and jabs people make at me - because for the longest time I was oblivious to my own situation. That's why I don't ban or delete you "mean bastards" - everybody should have a "mean bastard" to kick their ass - but I really do imagine the mean bastards as the principal from BACK TO THE FUTURE. I really do.
Good for you, Harold by Smilin'Jack Ruby	May 21st, 2008 09:12:21 PM

Fleet, again and for the last time: FUCK OFF by Boromir	May 21st, 2008 09:13:52 PM
You seem to think that this is about winning. There's nothing to be won. You're behaving like an ass, and we all can see it. Lashing out at others isn't going to change the perception because your behavior in doing so continues to perpetuate the selfsame perception. It's interesting that you criticize as hypocritical an answer that you yourself asked for; I told you exactly what I'd done away from my computer since yesterday, and you were so incredibly intimidated by a list of mundane events that you called it "waxing lyrical". Can you even picture how this looks from the outside? You are truly pitiful, man, and if I could give you some self esteem to make it better, I would. Honest. Because you DO give very much of a fuck even if you don't admit it, and you're just making yourself more reviled with each ranting post. You know, you could just throw the stupid pride monkey off your back and admit that you have been out of line, and that all that was ever called for in this situation was a simple well-wishing or even NOTHING at all to the man who created this site. One last time: Nothing that anyone is telling you here is about your opinion of Harry's surgery. Your opinions on Harry's health care decisions don't matter, precisely because your opinions on Harry's health care decisions were never asked for, wanted, or appropriate to air here. Not that you are remotely qualified to have such opinions anyway. But even if you WERE qualified to have such opinions, you, not being Harry's doctor, have not been asked to give your opinions. You aired your opinions because you wanted to attack someone, and because you're a dick, not because you wanted to help Harry or because it was a productive thing to say. Point blank: You're getting what you deserved, whether you lie and say you don't care about it or not. You can stay in the corner and keep licking your wounds until you figure out how to act like a human being again, as far as I'm concerned. I've said everything that I need to say to you, and your attempts to draw this out have become redundant and thus pointless to respond to. You and everyone else here knows that you're pointlessly being a dick, and you can choose to stop it anytime you like. Until then, I have a house full of orphaned children to tuck in and kiss goodnight, and and a truckload of blankets to distribute to the homeless. Because, you know, only we weak and foolish folks actually bother to do that nice selfless shit you see in movies, or even to say a kind word to someone who needs it. Finis.

I'm glad you;re getting healthy. I want to agree and disagree with you for many, many years to come. I recently kind of got my ass kicked back in gear, and it's not easy. Sometimes you have to accept that things are bad and start doing something about it. Shortcuts are good sometimes. Some people have a problem with asking for direction and finding an easier path. I do not. I feel it's a bit foolish not to.

For a guy who think's I have become "redundant and thus pointless to respond to" you're doing a great job at continuing to respond... After reading Harry's comment above there, it's nice to hear that even he can see what I'm trying to say here - Not that I ever even wanted him to feel he had to respond or point that out - Yes, I feel good for the guy... I feel happy for the guy... Do I agree with what he's done? Nope, I still don't... Still don't think it's right... But you mate, even just reading your comment to him then: You're a kiss ass...

And I still say the jerks are more like the pestering hate motivator for Burt Lancaster in Local Hero, but to each his/her own special beloved movie jerk. I'm glad you have such an open mind, Harry, and whether people try to get you going by rudeness, or out of love, YOU are the only one who can make that decision. When the time is right, all the right things go "click" and stuff falls into the right place and all the hard work...well suddenly you just know you can do it. I am glad this process kicked in for you before we lost you. Sounds like the best possible start on the road to parenthood. You'll be a great dad.

I will never be able to have surgery because it is a huge phobia of mine (I have had one ankle surgery to remove a bone that I was awake for and that will never happen again!)but I am trying the old fashion way of just exercise and diet.

Mr. Fleet by Lerkst	May 22nd, 2008 12:26:45 AM
I fail too see the purpose of your words, sir. You judge Harry's decision, and speak of 'making the change' when he was overweight. Obesity is a DISEASE. Will you talk to the alcoholic who's been sober for 25 years? "You should have put the bottle down years ago, you lush." Harry is making the step to a healthier life. I'm sure Harry's self esteem faltered some nights when he was alone and was overweight. But, like the alcolic who is finally blessed with clarity, he's DOING something about it. He has the love and support of his wife, and now the courage to grab his life by the neck and say "I'm in the driver's seat." Not many of us have the stones to do that; myself included. So I'm asking you to read your previous comments and ask yourself if they are productive or even positive. Remember, it's easier to slam someone than too support them. My best wishes to you Harry, and to you Fleet.

I'm not fat like you but I have always always been a dwarf so I know some of your pain. I'm confident you can loose weight and I will even summon some of my mighty thetan empire to help you. Good luck big fella. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to grow any taller or make any more good movies. Furtunately though no problem is too big that it can't be overcome by my wacky screwball religion invented by a third rate sci-fi writer. I'm thinking maybe me and Taratino can rescue each others careers with a remake of the classic Gigli? or a big budget revisit of Heavens Gate? what do you think?
Nothing wrong with love for Harry... by Bob Loblaw Law Blog	May 22nd, 2008 05:25:09 AM
whether you've met him in person or not. If it weren't for him, AICN wouldn't exist. Some people may not "care" about him, but it's certainly no weakness to have genuine respect and good feelings for Harry. For those of us who frequent this site and appreciate what's written and presented (and the work that goes into it), Harry is a good friend. He's friendly, geeky and pretty fucking cool. Hell, I felt that way before I actually met him in person. Talking to him one-on-one just confirmed all the good things I thought about him before. Regardless of the circumstances, making healthy life decisions isn't about dwelling on the past; it's about looking forward to the future. And, for that, I applaud Harry and wish him all the best. I mean, c'mon... doesn't everyone deserve a chance to make their life better? So what if it takes surgery to get the ball rolling? I don't think it was an easy decision for Harry -- nor would it be for anyone -- and I think it's a positive thing. I hope it works out for the very best!

Why, I believe it's Fleet's ass. What's it doing on the plate in front of him? Oh, I see. Boromir's serving it to him. Bon appetit, fucktard.

Harry, you Are the Biggest Loser by jamestewart007	May 22nd, 2008 10:20:07 AM

First, best of luck to you Harry. The most important thing in this is that you realize you have a health problem, and you are doing something about it. It is Harry's site, so I'm not sure why anyone has a problem with him creating a thread for his surgery. I don't care what anyone says, everyone here is a guest on this site. We are allowed to post some really vile shit, so you should be thankful that we have that freedom to bash each other, movies, actors, contributors, etc, on this site. Fleet, what the fuck is wrong with you? I look at it this way, if you're not going to say something nice in an obit or this type of thread, why bother posting at all?
I weigh about 360 by Sithdan	May 22nd, 2008 11:20:19 AM
and am sick of people telling me to lose weight. I'll lose it when I'm good and ready. I see people ordering fruit salads and veggie burgers at restaurants where I just order what I crave. Bring on the meat, as Audrey II said. I just can't stand the blatant prejudice in the media regarding corpulent individuals such as myself. I hear all kinds of cliched fat jokes and no one cares. But it's not okay to poke fun at minorities and homosexuals, is it? As a U.S. citizen, I demand equal treatment.

Glad you're on the right track. by The Gipper	May 22nd, 2008 12:39:42 PM
I could make some lame Jarrod from Subway joke, but will instead offer some solid advice. Weight Watchers. My wife has been doing that for over a year. It is basically a lifestyle change. The points system still allows you to eat all sorts of delicious things, but in moderation. Check it out.
Harry: Doing this for your future children is noble by ArcadianDS	May 22nd, 2008 01:23:53 PM
but equally as important as your health will be your legacy. Picture yourself having to explain 'chocolate covered pussy juice' to your 13 year old daughter who is being teased with it in school. Just as important as being healthy for your kids, is leaving a legacy for them that they can take full pride in. I dont preach this because Im by any means an expert at it. Im just sharing a lesson that ive had to learn the hard way.
Nunya BIZNATCH by I am the most horrible	May 22nd, 2008 01:34:15 PM
It's none of anyone's business what somebody does with their own body. Period. Even if you're riding that pious holier-(skinnier)-than thou high horse, you've got no call to preach to somebody about how fat they are ...or aren't. Harry says all you haters and trolls spewing your bile, disguised as health advice, are right and it's the kick in the ass he needs. (I think he's crazy there... maybe it's the meds talking, maybe he's high on the motivation that provides, I dunno...you ask me it opens the door to a whole lotta crap talking to Harry, and worse,other fat folks who would kindly decline that brand of motivational speaking)But the bottom line is if you spewed similar bile in my presence I'd be the one doing the ass kicking. The hatred and disgust some of you have for fat people is disgusting to me. The fact that you'd fill a well-wishing TB about Harry's surgery with that crap is just lame. Some people make choices that lead them to be fat...most don't. (The fact that so many people are getting SURGERY, altering their innards, should tell you how hard it can be and how much some folks want to change but can't)I would no sooner rip on somebody for being fat than I would for being gay or homeless. I hesitate to lump those three together as they are all very different things...but their common denominator is that they are tough gigs, and if you think it's always easy or even possible to just stop being one or the other...you're a dumbass. Some more color on that: I believe there are people that most others would call fat that are just as they were meant to be, and they just don't fit in with what society says is the norm at the time. I believe everybody born gay IS gay and it's as much a part of nature as red hair and freckles. Nobody should be homeless, it's a bitch but it happens. Homeless people need a home, not your judgement or hate. Anyways... Another thing that's nobody else's business: Harry's marriage. Jesus! And while it's none of mine either I'm assuming that Yoko married Harry because she loves him. I've never read that she was armless blind and deaf so I imagine she knows Harry inside and out...and accepts him the way he is. Give it a try. Part of living is growing, changing and learning. Being as healthy as you can be is a great idea. But don't make the mistake of thinking everybody needs or wants your unsolicited advice (either diplomatic and derogatory)about what to do with their body. It's out of line.
good luck Harry and lay off the sauce by exie	May 22nd, 2008 02:08:58 PM
Lay off alcohol in the future. A cousin of mine had lapband, lost 140 pounds in a year and then put 80 pounds back on when he realized that if he drank booze, it would negate the sensation of fullness from the lapband and allow him to eat more. Apparently, this is a common thing lapband people make mistakes with (some do on purpose because they miss food) and if you don't drink booze, don't start now. If you do like to have a drink, give it up. Don't even tempt. This isn't about moderation. It's about alcohol defeating the purpose and effectiveness of what you just had done to yourself. I've seen first hand what it can do to someone in your situation.

Fleet and others maybe right to some degree, but ... by jae683	May 22nd, 2008 05:04:22 PM
I just never saw the point about criticizing someone about the obvious. I'm sure Harry knows what his problems are and what got him there, without the need for some prick on a talkback thread grandstanding and rubbing it in, yet again. I mean, even if said people are right, there are better ways to treat people. But hey, that's just me.
Well, food prices should drop now.... by W3bzpinn3r	May 22nd, 2008 05:39:23 PM
Thanks Harry, for doing your part to help with the food shortages around the world. Now if only the other fat pricks out there would do the same. Well, I guess Ted Kennedy is doing his part too, dying of brain tumors.... Maybe there is a god, afterall....
Well done, Harry by Rev. Slappy	May 22nd, 2008 05:42:14 PM
I used to weigh about 270 and am down to about 190. It's not easy but I applaud you for the steps you are taking...
Good luck Harry! Trust me, the surgery is worth it! by deadmeat002	May 22nd, 2008 05:57:32 PM
I hope you do well with this. I had gastric bypass just under two years ago and have lost 180lb myself. I have been able to go places and do things that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. It is like being unlocked from the jail that your body has become. The first month after the surgery was pretty rough, but once you see the pounds start to fall off it is pretty amazing. The good new is, you sound like you are doing your part and balancing the new lifestyle with lots of exercise which is the real key to making this work. Work the program, walk the path and reap the rewards, 'cause your best days are officially ahead of you.

Good luck..Harry and god bless by ChocolateJesusMan	May 23rd, 2008 06:08:17 PM
Things found in Harry's stomach during surgery 1. Godfather III (the good version) 2. M Night Shaymlans Talent & artistic credibility 3. The Spec Script for Michael bay's 100 million dollar "Mama's Family" movie 4. A Good Uwe Boll film 5. The pirate ship from "Goonies
This just in! by Neosamurai85	May 23rd, 2008 11:49:25 PM
It has now been confirmed that the good Uwe Boll film found in Harry's stomach was in fact only footage of Harry's surgery lost during his stitching. Though the material is hardly passible as cinematic entertainment, it is indisputably of a vastly superior quality to any of the films that actually were directed by Mr. Boll.
Once a diabetic, ALWAYS a diabetic! by batzilla	May 23rd, 2008 11:54:12 PM
There is NO SUCH THING as "defeating" diabetes Harry. I am a T2 (and SKINNY!) but was over weight when DX'd 4 years ago. I was 225lbs and now 130lbs (5'11") and my blood glucose will still go too high if I eat too many carbs (bread,pasta,colas,etc) but it is a lot better. I was right at the mark when DX'd My HBA1C was at 7%. What was yours? Normal is supposed to be around 4.5% My last one was 5.5% which is fine. Anyways, if you are a diabetic you will always be a diabetic. Just have to watch your diet VERY closely for life!
RE: Once a diabetic, ALWAYS a diabetic! by Droogie Alex	May 24th, 2008 03:23:53 AM
Theve's recently discoved that when you get a gastric bypass, diabetes seems to go away. They're starting to try this out on non-obese diabetics. You might want to look in to this data.

Hello Doc
Harry CAN be The Hulk! by shivester	May 24th, 2008 08:46:09 AM
Harry, Hope you get well soon. Now this may seem a bit strange and it's not for you for quite a while but there is actually a workout system out there which laughs at most gym equipment and literally turns you into a real superhero. Check out this link for an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =zfGNJL3pwOc&feature=related It's all about functional fitness and often takes no more than 20 minutes a day. It's all free and at: crossfit.com It's an open source very cool fitness system used by special forces and the like all run through a website. You can start real slow and work up bit by bit - all the workouts are explained in videos on the site. Just thought it might rock your boat when the gym gets dull - they always do. Best of luck big man.
NOW that YOU are HEALTHY by tme2nsb	May 24th, 2008 05:10:06 PM

shivester by Boromir	May 24th, 2008 05:12:34 PM
The YT link doesn't seem to be working. But the CrossFit address comes up just fine, and it's AWESOME. Obviously I'm not Harry, but I want to say thanks for posting that--because yeah, the gym does get dull and CrossFit is set up as the kind of generalist program that I prefer. Cool!! Thanks again!
Road to recovery by PowerRing	May 24th, 2008 11:24:16 PM
Harry, Although I am slightly older than you, we share a common enjoyment and geek-gasm for certain classic movies. I have always felt that some critics justify their trade by going to a movie to find, and amplify flaws that no standard moviegoer would care about. In your case, at least 9/10 time, you see the good in films that the audience would see. I don't care if those "Chicago" critics love or hate a film, they don't represent the majority of moviegoers like you do. You have this wide-eyed enthusiasm for all things cool, not an icy disdain for popular film like the late Pauline Kael, who could find a turd in a pile of diamonds. I am glad that you have gone forth and chosen a path to greater health. Your life will only improve, despite enjoying it already. I wish you a speedy recovery, and hope you meet your weight goals. Diabetes will be a thing of the past. I can't wait until the Simpsons catches up and the comic book guy gets a story arc involving laproscopic surgery to unleash his inner stud. Get well soon Harry, and rock on! "What we do in life, echoes in eternity!"
Harry, your going to look like Eric Stoltz soon by Stuntcock Mike	May 25th, 2008 06:57:24 AM

Good for you, Harry! I wish you well on your road to recovery. Will you be posting your progress in the coming weeks? I'd be interested to hear how you're doing. My doc is pushing me so hard to get this done, I swear she's getting kickbacks from the company for every patient she sends them. Anyway, glad to hear you're doing well.
Yea! by leiaboxATX	May 26th, 2008 06:06:11 PM
