Fan in Chicago

I am one of those that ragged on the logic of the sci-fi. I love sci-fi movies and agree that they are not realistic cinema. But hey, can they atleast be logical ? See my previous post (with heavy spoilers) to see what my major complaints are. Spielberg's Minority Report was excellent so was Jurassic Park - niether of them were realistic (at least right now) but they held together very well.

Hey atleast he can live out my fantasy. I am on the wrong side of 30 but worse, I am married so can't indulge in such hanky-panky. If I could, your words of wisdom would be lost on me. And I am a smoker too

Hey dude, are you posting from one of those shiny disc shaped thingies that have been appearing in rural locales of the US since the 1940s ?

This one line summarizes my advice to you. If you want a serious relationship, look elsewhere.

In Chicago suburbs, there is one 2 minutes from my house. Cascade Drive-in. Great location for me.

After seeing this, I blocked out time Dec. 16th on my very (un)busy calendar. This movie should rock !

Good choice. If you are sure about not wanting to see it, read my spoiler-filled review a few posts back.

Saw WOTW yesterday - this guy can neither shut up nor act.

[MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW} I have not seen the original or read the book so consider this a truly unbiased opinion. (1) The movie really worked as a human drama. Spielberg really knows how to distill a tragedy down to its impact on a family level. (2) Special effects and story development was very good Okay here comes the criticism (3) Tom Cruise can't act for peanuts. Enough said (4) The underlying premise was ridiculous to say the least. If this was the classic book and movie, I am very disappointed: - There is a mention that the tripods were planted there before humans existed. Then why plant them ? Did the aliens like randomly go around the universe planting tripods in the hope that something good can be harvested millions of years later ? - If the aliens were of such superior intelligence, what did they want with earth and humans ? - What did the aliens want anyway ? Annihilate humanity and then grow blood-containing weeds ? - If the aliens wanted human blood, why massacre so many humans in the beginning ? Doesn't it give them less raw material for their grand plan ? - Why do they start dying ? The voice-over in the end says they could not digest us and our survival methods had evolved over the eons. Give me a break ! What a lame-a** way to end a movie. - So lets say the machines start dying because Cruise plants some hand grenades in their belly and they are connected like the Borg. Then why do the weeds start dying ? - How does Robbie survive when the entire battalion is blown to kingdom come ? - How does Robbie reach Boston ? I am sure I will come up with more if I bother to think some more. I mean Shyamalan's 'Signs' got trashed by many saying why did the aliens come in the first place if water was acid to them. Guys, if that movie can be criticized, this one is really a very amateurish sci-fi tale. For me the movie of the summer so far was Batman Begins.

Probably needs Viagra or Cialis to keep up with Katie Holmes anyway.

What is Ultra Lights - as in the cigarettes ? Honestly, .... I don't get it.

.. And after that brief detour, back to our regularly scheduled '15-year old hottie called Y" programming.

plenzmd1 = Michael Jackson

Thats okay, I misunderstood.

Look I am not agreeing or disagreeing with the law. But, heck it is the law and is well known hence my comment on 'stupidity'. I smoke and can't take my trusty lighter on board but that is fine an old fashioned matchbox serves the same purpose quite well.

That was TOO damn funny. Good one.

1. Disagree with him being even a good actor. Good personality on-screen but that is it. 2. Totally agree - that is what is worrisome. The dumb adults who can believe celebrities on topics which these famous people have no business talking about in the media. Also the impressionable teens who are not mature enough to know who to believe and trust. 3. Yep - my wife has it and medication has definitely helped a LOT. 4. If she was walking down the street, I am not sure many people would notice. She is neither a good actress (Batman Begins), nor cute/bangable, nor a movie star. Sorry, but she does absolutely NOTHING to me.

Not me for sure. Especially considering the price of a new one. However, I wouldn't mind getting some nice pocket knives or ciggy lighters for cheap.

I have a theory - once above 90 or below 10, the body doesn't really feel much of a difference for every incremental degree.

For a change, at least some state governments are using their brains. People stupid enough to take such items deserve to have them confiscated. As a side thought, who from the govt. has time on their hands to spend on eBay for all these items ? I worry more about the opportunity cost of these individuals - could they be spending their time doing something better ? For outsiders, this is a great idea for a business - take all items off the governments hands for some fixed consignment fee and then sell over eBay. But reading down the article, looks like some people have already picked up on this.

If I go with your logic, what exactly has TO 'shown' last year to demand a higher salary ? Whether he is injured or losing skills, both result in low output which means 'fading away'. One good performance in the SB does not warrant the return he is asking. The Eagles got to the SB mostly without TO. How much their offensive production would have dropped in the SB in TO's absence, we will never know. But we do know that they can get to the SB without having TO 100% of the time.

While I agree with TO that McNabb choked in the last quarter of the SB (I still believe the game was fixed), doing so publically hurts your team. You can do all the complaining you want but do it to McNabb's face or to Andy Reid. Taking his negative opinions public does nothing to you. Also, a contract is a contract. He signed on last year, did not play most of the season and still expects to be paid better ? Sorry, I don't agree with that. Peyton Manning on the other hand is a classy individual who delivers through his actions on the field. Never did any information about their (huge) contract negotiation come out in the general press and neither has he ever sulked prior to that time.

EM is a true-blue Bills player. He is one that was drafted by the Bills and has stayed with the Bills. I do hope he retires with us right after winning a couple of Superbowls. I would love to draft more people like EM who perform well but will not play the market simply to get a lot of $$. He has always been a team player and a model football player.

Oh no ! You got me. I should have said nails on my back and no nails in the a-spot. Gaah !

hey cool ! I found another guy that doesn't mind nails in the back. I kinda get turned on by them digging in. Not as good as the a-spot but it works.
