I don't hate the day, just put in the extra effort to get gifts your significant other (or friends, family etc.) might actually like/use... That makes them extra special I guess. It's never bad to tell or show someone how much you care on V-Day.

I was going to buy tickets to see them at Coachella on the 17th of April, but I have a water polo game.... Maybe it'll work out somehow, but I doubt it. Too bad they don't have any other concert listings in my area right now....

I don't remember exactly what it was about, but last time I saw an episode of The Twilight Zone it was one where a movie star ends up in a parallel universe when she saves her hometown from a plane accident by inviting then all to her concert. Ironically enough, she never shows up to the concert and it turns out that she somehow ended up being on the plane that crashed. Also, theres the one with the old man who discovers the fountain of youth by playing "Kick the Can". And the one with the guy who ends up being the last man on earth. He finally finds he can make peace with his lonliness in reading books but then breaks his glasses. The humans who land on a planet where the alien is a giant little kid... and so many more that I'm sure I'm forgetting....

I think the storyline was alright as far as movies go, but as a fan of sci-fi books and such, I think it really could've been taken much further. First of all, I think the they should've had a whole science movement on figuring out why a planet with gravity has floating mountains. If humans grasp the power of gravity, then they are indestructable. Okay, I'm getting a little too nit picky here, and I'm setting aside the point that floaty mountains look really cool... Second of all, Na'vi sex? What the heck was up with that? Why do they have sex like humans? You would think that weird braid thingy that they had would also serve for reproductive purposes, simply because it serves for dominance purposes.... Ok, again I'm not being fair. If they had alien like sex then it also wouldn't be a James Cameron film. It's the same reason the female Na'vi have boobs. They really don't need them though. Even Cameron admits he put them there because he likes boobs, which is fine with me. Adding boobs makes them look more "normal" (for aliens). The thing is, if you make the aliens too alien then the people who watch the movie won't like them and wouldn't be able to relate to them, but then the movie has no point. If aliens act human then are they really aliens???? Wow, I read way too much Orson Scott Card to have fun at the theaters..... NERD ALERT!!!!! Anyways... I guess I'm just saying that if you want to set aside little technicalities and such for a visually appealing, feel good kind of movie, with a lead character who is a go getter but a little numb in the mind. Then Avatar is for you. Overall I give it a B+ it needs that extra 10% I think. I couldn't help but think that Pocahontas and Fern Gully had a rated R? PG-13? baby with a really talented effects team, lots of explosions, and fair acting.... Oh yeah, and BOOBS!!!! (P.S. When he said it took 6 years to get to the planet, is that 6 real years, or six years distorted by the fact that they are travelling at the speed of light?... Oh shoot I'm being too technical again...) I totally understand where you're coming from. Ironically, my first reaction to the movie was that it was an amazing depiction of a science-fiction world/book/story come to life with a scope I'd never seen before. That said, it did have an appealing to the masses quality to it that necessarily sacrificed some of the finer points of a fully-realized intelligent and highly original science-fiction story. Maybe someday someone will come along and do a film version of Ender's Game or some other intelligently written and complex sci-fi story with the necessary depth to go along with the amazing visual and technical splendor. Until then, we have this. I guess I appreciate it more for what it is than what it's not. It's still a marvel to sit through, and I know I'll see it numerous times over the years... I just wish they would've explained the reason for certain things a little better.... Or even better, make certain technologies that they used a more pivotal part of the storyline. I know they are already making a movie out of Ender's Game, but it's going to be really tricky and I hope they don't ruin it. I look up Orson Scott Card's website every now and then. Apparently he's trying to get the script finished as soon as he possibly can.

I saw the movie "Turtles Can Fly" in high school during sophmore year. It was a good movie, but I don't think I can ever watch it again, simply because of how powerful it was. It follows some young children in the modern day Middle East... (Kurdistan I think... I don't quite remember). The opening sequence shows a young girl committing suicide by jumping off of a cliff, and the rest of the movie is about the sequence of events in her life and the lives of her friends which ultimately led her to do that... I think the entire movie is in Kurdish... I'm not sure... It's been awhile since I saw it.

The first couple C and C cds his voice was a bit higher pitched but he has brought it down to an acceptable level. They put on a very good live show and as stated CLaudio loves to engage the bands fans. Nice to see compared to a lot of other new bands and their aversion to this. diddo!

I wanted to see this so bad, and my dad took me. I thought it was the best, scary movie ever. Now I can't stop laughing! http://www.smitheeawards.com/images/covers/TheCar.gif http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFWea3Eu97E Ohhhh yes! Remember seeing this at the drive in, "The Car" had some kind of red cellophane sheet over the wind shield, and on some scenes you can clearly see the driver behind the steering wheel. If I remember right "The Car" is suppose to be possessed drives itself killing the innocent. Maybe Stephen King got the idea for Christine from this? Agree with Goober, hard to watch The Wall now, although some parts of the movie still hold up well. Can't watch at all "Heavy Metal" during my youth seen this about four or five times. Tried to watch couple years ago .... Although I never saw Heavy Metal, my mom talks about it all of the time. As for me, when I was like 7 and 8, I used to love The Labyrinth with David Bowie... I've seen it recently... David Bowie's pants are too tight. Also the Goonies was pretty good and.... hmm.... I always liked The Nightmare Before Christmas... Otherwise I was pretty much your typical Disney loving kid. Cartoons I grew up watching included Hey Arnold, The Animaniacs, Ren and Stimpy, The Wild Thornberries, Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo, reruns of Speed Racer ect. Another one I hear about from my parents is H.R. Puff'n'Stuff... At least I think thats what it's called... I've seen clips.... trippy another weird old movie that i've seen is Logan's Run... Was that movie good when it came out? Logan's Run is awesome! I watch it every time I run across it on TV - still one of the better SF movies ever IMHO... haha, awesome... but strange... once they meet Box i pretty much can't follow the storyline anymore

QUOTE (The Owl @ Oct 23 2009, 10:48 AM) Just bumping this thread for the (now kind of old) news that there should be a new Coheed album sometime next year........and it will be a prequel to the amory wars saga. so i've heard, i actually got to meet Mr. Claudio Sanchez himself last summer while he was promoting his "Kill Audio" comics. he was really cool. i got a lot of autographs including my copy of the Neverender, and the first Amory Wars Saga, which I gave to a friend. He was very humble and very cool. It was worth the two hour wait in line to see him.

its just weird in all ways possible, and the fandom is as weird as the movie. thats why its fun. dont remake it

i have a weird skin disorder. when i lightly scratch myself it can give me a rash. because of this, i can temporarily scratch my name onto my back. the rash itches, but if i scratch it, it gets much worse. i went to a dermatologist when i was younger and he told me it was some kind of untreatable dermatitis. lucky for me though, it seems to be less of a problem since ive gotten through puberty. its weird...

all hands on deck granger!

it was depressing...

a mismatched tank top thats slightly see through, and a pair of pj shorts.

I really loved Pan's Labyrinth and The Orphanage. They were both very imaginitive and both movies had a pretty good twist at the end.

I saw it two days ago. Trust me, I was super skeptical... but god if I wasn't cracking up throughout the entire thing. I loved it, of course, not everyone is into that kind of humor.

i dont know if anyone has put this one down yet, but ive always loved the last scene of Some Like it Hot.... Heres the link...
