Am I the only one that doesn't see this anymore? I know it's been gone a long time for me, but I never took the time to ask. Thanks!

It wasn't anything great or even good, but passable I thought. Typical genre flick....where you can figure out the whole movie from the previews. It could have used some more comic relief, but they wasted Ewen Bremner's character. At least, it was a bit more adventure/treasure hunt than I anticipated, not to mention there's nothing like staring at some beautiful tropical scenery to escape a Chicago Febraury. Rent it, don't take it too seriously, enjoy both kinds of scenery and be happy you didn't spend 20 bucks to see it.

I think that book is dangerous. And this coming from someone who went to catholic grade school, high school, and a jesuit university and got an A in an Islam class. I think my years of experience in life and school give me plenty of background to make such a statement. And I'm a big fan of Seventeen. Good stuff. I think the schools you went to sucked.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 10:39 AM) Seventeen magainze...the bible...what's the difference? I'm far from a bible thumper. Haven't been to church in a couple years, but I think thats a pretty ignortant thing to say about something that a whole lot of people keep in high regard.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 10:57 AM) I didn't have a problem with talking/ rudeness watching Juno at the Loews (now AMC) in Woodridge. I also saw the Darjeeling Limited there. It was a tiny theater and there were a grand total of 5 people including me and my girlfriend. Yeah, I'm kinda in your area and have been to all the theatres around there and I've never experienced all the problems people talk about on here. I was just at Seven Bridges this past Saturday to see Fools Gold(wifes turn to pick) and it was pretty quiet throughout the movie. I found it funny that the girl a seat away from me was texting her friend right when the thing came on the screen about not texting. She pretty much seemed oblivious to the message, but she did stop when the movie started. I saw her check her phone a couple times during the show, but she wasn typing to anyone or anything. Shipps you should have said something to that family. If someone was ruining a movie for me....you bet your ass I'm saying something....either to them directly or to a worker.

Break Obama infatuation By Cal Thomas February 6, 2008 In human relationships, there is the flirtation stage, followed by what my grandparents called “courting” and, if that works out, marriage. For those who are cohabiting, that was once the order of things, before disorderly social conduct took over. In presidential politics, the analogy also works. We have passed the flirtation stage with Barack Obama and now it is time for a serious background check before too many of us follow our hearts instead of our heads and enter into a bad “marriage.” That MoveOn.org and Sen. Edward Kennedy have endorsed Obama ought to be enough for any conservative — even moderate — to pause before heading toward the electoral altar. But Obama has offered more cause for alarm by heralding his left-wing economic philosophy in a recent interview with The New York Times. Obama told the newspaper the top priority of the next president should be the creation of a more lasting and equitable prosperity than achieved under Presidents Bush and Clinton. Obama apparently missed the class that teaches government doesn’t create prosperity; people do. During last Thursday’s debate with Hillary Clinton, Obama said he would pay for his proposed new programs, including mandatory health insurance, by imposing higher taxes on “the wealthy” and raising the tax on Social Security wages. He added, “What we have had right now is a situation where we’ve cut taxes for people who don’t need them.” Should government determine how much money people “need”? This is Marxism: “from each according to his ability; to each according to his need.” Sen. Clinton expressed similar sentiments on ABC’s “This Week” when she said if people refuse to buy health insurance under her plan she might garnish people’s wages. One reason this socialistic mindset resonates favorably with many is due to the shift in the last half-century from promoting hard work, self-sufficiency, marriage, personal responsibility and accountability and living within one’s means, to a mentality that I am entitled to the fruits of other people’s labor. That used to be called robbery before government started doing it more than a century ago through the income tax. Another reason the Obama (and Clinton) class envy works is that too many people are economic illiterates. They can’t tell the difference between compound interest and a compound fracture. How many politicians today talk about looking out for one’s self, not relying on government? Too many Republicans negotiate with Democrats over the size of new programs and budget increases, rather than reducing the cost and size of the nanny state. The era of big government is not over, as Bill Clinton proclaimed in his 1996 State of the Union address; it has just begun. If either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama becomes president, government will grow even larger and become more intrusive. According to recent Gallup data, “The wealthiest 1 percent of the population earn 19 percent of the income, but pay 37 percent of the income tax. The top 10 percent pay 68 percent of the tab. Meanwhile, the bottom 50 percent — those below the median income level — now earn 13 percent of the income but pay just 3 percent of the taxes. These are proportions of the income tax alone and don’t include payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare.” Soaking “the rich” even more won’t pay for all the new government programs Obama (and Sen. Clinton) wish to impose on us. Thomas Jefferson, whom Democrats claim as their party’s founder said: “I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” Calvin Coolidge, who spoke when he had something to say, cautioned, “Never attempt to build up the weak by tearing down the strong.” That is what Obama and his fellow Democrats seem intent on doing. They tear down the rich, rather than encourage the non-rich to become prosperous. Obama should read the works of the Scottish moral philosopher Adam Smith, who said, “It is the highest impertinence and presumption … in kings and ministers to pretend to watch over the economy of private people, and to restrain their expense. They are themselves, always, and without any exception, the greatest spendthrifts in the society.” Again, Calvin Coolidge rebukes the ideology of Obama-Clinton: “The collection of any taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to the public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. … The wise and correct course to follow in taxation is not to destroy those who have already secured success but to create conditions under which every one will have a better chance to be more successful.” Given such truths, it is time to break up with our Obama infatuation.

Anyone see Hillary The Movie yet?

QUOTE(shipps @ Feb 9, 2008 -> 09:07 AM) I remember when Karl Kani,Girbaud and Cross Colors were the most popular brands of jeans.I was particulary into the Girbaud jeans just because of the tag on the crotch showed you had an expensive pair of jeans.Iam still superficial but not as bad as I used to be. Yep I remember wearing Girbaud, but that was hardly my worst crotch advertising pant. That award has to go to Z Cavaricci. I had like ten different pairs of them and then they came out with them in Jeans. I bought dark, light, stone washed. It was ridiculous. I swear I worked back then just to pay for my clothes. Now there's a bunch of homeless peeps wearing my cavs. Hopefully they got some of my IOU sweatshirts to pair with em.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 03:52 PM) ... what?? So he stuck his wife?? That explains the animosity.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 03:34 PM) I paraphrased because I was too lazy to dig up the quote again. He said electing Obama or Hillary would be surrendering to terror. Not much difference between that and what I said. Yeah he's saying they both want to pull out if Iraq, and if that happens before it's stablized then Iraq will become a hot bed for terrorists. So in his opinion and many others as well, pulling out is equivlent to surrending to terror, since that's what many beleive will happen. He didn't say "Hillary and Obama want to let them attack America." which is how your quote can be interpreted and yes if he said that I would call him a nutjob. I don't believe the Dems WANT to hurt America, but I beleive certain actions they will take will inevitably do so. Just as Democrats, believe the actions of conservatives are hurting this country.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 03:21 PM) Page 3, towards the end. He has to leave the race because if he doesn't it would help the Dems and that is tantamount to a surrender to terror. Right that's not the quote StrangeSox posted.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 03:17 PM) That's a perfectly reasonable position. Rheotoric like "Hillary and Obama want to surrender Iraq to Al Queda and let them attack America" is just BS for the ultra-conservative audience he was pandering to. I can't find that quote in the speech.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 03:07 PM) So is it your opinion that all of the Democratic voters here and everywhere in the country want to "Surrender" to Al Qaeda? Nope I don't think democrats want to lose to Al Qaeda, I just think we have different ideas of how to win.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 03:01 PM) The "Vote for a Democrat = Vote for the terrorists" fearmongering tactics worked like a charm in 2004 so what the hell, Mittens thought he'd flog that dead horse one last time. Like you, I expect his 5 military-age sons will all be enlisting next week since they no longer are serving their country by helping get Dad elected. If you don't feel that's right, then fine. You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 02:56 PM) So you agree that pornography is the reason for a high divorce rate and the amount of people with only one parent in their life? If you do, your crazy just as Romney was for saying it yesterday. Sorry. I don't think it's that cut and dry, no. and I don't think he was saying if you watch a porno you're gonna get divorced and be born out of wedlock, but if that's how you want to see it thats fine.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 02:48 PM) With the crazy, at times Pat Robertson like stuff he was saying...........he was better off waiting to give that much detail until he dropped out. Some of you people can't comprehend that what is crazy to you isn't crazy to a whole lot of others.

I like Tommy Hilfiger, but I'll only buy them on sale or from the outlet.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 11:05 AM) It was like "Mitt Romney does Stephen Colbert as Sean Hannity." I was waiting for a rimshot after some of the lines. Well opinions vary.
