I'm glad that Prime Directives addressed the strained relationship between Alex Murphy and James/Jimmy Murphy, how both of them finally forgave each other by the end of the series. When the original trilogies of movies ended I wondered whatever happened to Jimmy as he would have to grow up believing his father was dead but really he had become a shining knight in armour of Detroit. I found it interesting to wonder what a son would have to go through if he thought his father had abandoned him through death (even if it was unintentional) but really his father was a hero; a hero though that had to purposely deny remembering his family to prevent hurting them because he had become a machine. Though the acting was bad between the two characters in the series, I'm just happy that this concept was finally addressed to.
You know what's even worse? I have never seen the music video and I don't know what the singer looks like and I thought - 'I reckon the music video is going to have some blonde Caucasian woman with curly hair and bad makeup like the equally-as-annoying Cascada singing in some contemporary set with many dancers groping her body "sensually".'Quote:

It's not that I hate these singers with passion and think that whatever I listen to is 1,000,000x better, it's that these singers and their songs are played AGAIN and AGAIN which bugs the hell out of me, sure you could tell me to just change the station and turn off the radio but I have to encounter these songs whenever I listen to Hamish and Andy on the radio while driving home!
I didn't mind California Girls when it first came out, but now everytime I hear it I GO BESERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Went out last night, got quite drunk, got the number for a pretty psych student:cool:...and can't find it this morning.:(
Oh dude! :(Quote:

You seen Halfbaked? :D
I would like to add Pitch Black to that list :DQuote:

Clerks II was just legendary. :DQuote:

mallrats :) is pretty good
My favourite scene from Chasing Amy was the discussion about the "crossroads" (Easter Bunny, Santa Claus etc. ;)). Stan Lee's cameo in Mallrats was awesome. :D Btw, when Kevin Smith interviewed Stan Lee for Rolling Stones magazine, he asked him the same question that Brodie had asked him about the composition of the Thing's you-know-what, and his answer was a definitive "Yes it is." :cool: (^O^)
I thought this was a venting thread :confused: There's far too much love going on here :p
:o Well I LOVE horror movies, but last night, for some reason I totally bitched out of watching The Haunting In Connecticut!!
My gf wouldnt stop laughing...
I still wont watch Paranormal Activity because a girl I know who works at the local cinema and loves horror films said the ending scared the crap out of her.Quote:

Going to attempt The Haunting again tonight :cool:

It's a Spanish language film that has a good story and some truly freaky scenes in it. :eek::D
I love Horror movies, first saw Hellraiser when I was 5 :D, and The Orphanage is the first movie in a very long time to give me the creeps. :)
The last one was Steven King's: The Graveyard Shift when I was 7, bloody movie scared me so much it kept me awake all night! :p
I can watch horror movies, but I hate those that are so desperate to shock you that make you think 'Really?! Is this what it has come to? You should be ashamed of yourselves!' (i'm referring to AVP2 which isn't a horror really where the Aliens start injecting their spawn into pregnant women at a hospital)
Much like the Scream, I Know What You Did..., Grudge, Ring and Saw franchises - to me these all fall into the comedy genre. :p:DQuote:

I must admit though, I liked both AvP Movies not for their scare factor, but because they had Aliens and Predators in them - so they were instant winners for me.
(I first saw Aliens when I was 5, I've never turned back since! :D)
Thanks for the recommendation Hursty... I just might check it out :)Quote:

Gutted. I feel sick and numb at the same time.

It's surreal - United's best player last season, the player they've built the side around and given the platform to be truly world class, and one that said as recently as March that he wanted a life contract at United, now wants to leave.
And has wanted to leave since before this season started - which predates the scandal in his private life breaking, and which predates (but explains) the poor form he's found himself in this season. I love Manchester United, I can't understand how someone would go from being fully commited to the club he's been at for 6 years in March, to wanting out in August, to forcing the managers hand by publically contradicting him in October.
Most United fans expected Ronaldo to leave when he did in 2009, but our great hope at the time, affirmed by the player, was that Rooney would be here for years and was just as good. Not so, apparently. To add insult to injury any money received will probably disappear into trying to pay off the owners 600 million debt, as opposed to buying a replacement.
:mad:
Lost game with 10 pt margin to an undefeated team. They're all physical and quick with a big center who knows how to play down low. :(
1/3 from 3pt land. I got to improve this percentage but I need more shots. :(
I don't get this strategy of trying to get fouls on the inside when you can't make free throws :D hahaha
My Netgear modem (yes I know it's craptacular) died last week (connection dropouts every 10 minutes). Got it replaced with another one which keeps dropping out of connection too ( but less frequently) on the first day of working. Thought it was a Bigpond error, so called them - they told me to call Netgar because nothing was wrong with their lines - I call netgear for help, they tell me to go to Bigpond.... ...FML about an hour of wasted phone time with no help on either end but my conclusions is that it's just netgear's crappy modem, judging by other 'colourful' experiences posted on the interwebs.
Thank heck I'm buying a 2wire modem from Telstra next week (same brand as my very 1st modem, I can trust it works but downside it dies after about 4 years of use). Just got to hold onto this piece of crap modem until next year where I can exchange it for a gift card to spend on something else useful...
Also a tip for any net users out there, don't buy your web hardware from DSE, I made a huge mistake doing that. I asked the people working there if the modems were good and they didn't know what they were doing apart from easily taking my $$$. That's also another thing to rant on while I'm here, what DSE is becoming - I went to my local one recently and asked for a Funway Electronics starter kit - the girl there had NO IDEA what I was talking about - Dick Smith Electronics eh? More like Dick Smith Cashsuckers...
I had a Netgear that kept dropping out every 45 minutes or so and managed to prolong its like by about a month by putting it in the freezer for about 10 minutes whenever it died.Quote:

Dick smith have been going downhill for years now. They are owned by the same bunch as Tandy (which have always been crappy IMO) and the two shops have been interchangeable for the last 5 years at least. Its almost getting to the point where they wo't even have circuit borads and fuses to buy. Just crappy rmote control cars and cheap (quality) electronics...Quote:

You can thank Woolworths for that, as they are the parent company of both Dick Smith and Tandy. :(Quote:

Woolworths has gone on record as saying it wants to compete with Harvey Norman in regards to Electronics - I guess they're gonna use Dick Smith to do it?, here I was thinking that maybe Big W was the most suitable - then I remembered that Woolworths wants to compete with Harvey Norman in White Goods too. :rolleyes:
Did you know that Woolworths is also it's own insurance company?
(I shit you not, they are - so they can handle claims against them "Internally")
That's not unheard of though. Wesfarmers owns Coles, Target, Kmart, Bunnings, Officeworks and Harris Technology! Plus they too have an insurance division.
Indeed, it isn't unheard of though, IMO, being your own Insurance Company is quite questionable to be honest - it raises the question of who they're actually looking out for? ;)Quote:

I have to laugh though when I hear people saying that they went to Harvey Norman, Joyce Maine & Domayne and found that all 3 stores had the exact same products for the exact same prices and still think that they are independent retailers. :p:D
What's the logic behind ebay same starting bid and buy it now price?
Day after a 2-day drinksfest = Odie feels bleurgh.
And the psych chick hasn't called back which is kinda a bummer.:(
No logic?Quote:
