One of my friends was one of the foremost authorities on ghosts and stuff in the area. I went hunting with her one night and didn't find crap. I also used to do a website for an author: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Derby/2236/ And he is an expert on hauntings on the east coast, mainly Vermont. I am still undecided.

I saw a luanch YEARS ago, back in the 80's when they were still new. Our bus got lost, so we were parked miles away from the thing. It was just a speck in the sky, but I have never encountered such a LOUD noise in my entire life. Those things are SERIOUSLY LOUD!!! Just amazing.

You need a monkey, a goat, 100lbs if gummy worms, chocolate pudding, a hydrolic pump, 15 gallons of your choice of lubricant and a rubber duck.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jul 12, 2005 -> 10:00 PM) Don't you be knocking Kane, hear?!? That and Casablanca are as close to cinematic perfection as an American film has ever got. Discussion closed. Maybe so...but it ain't no Bring It On!!!! For those playing along at home...this is sarcasm without the faithful colors. Call me a rebel, but I am breaking the color barrier for once.

Hell man, I gotta admit what I gotta admit, Bring It On was possibly the most powerful movie from start to finish I have ever seen. That ending!!! "Rosebud" my ass.

Doesn't Bo also feel he owes something to the Sox for us giving him the chance to come back again? I think he loves the organization for believing in him back then.

Yeah, I do believe that it is. I can't imagine how that can be topped. Killer flick. Brutal and disturbing as all hell.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 07:20 PM) In no particular order of shock value. -The Wicker Man -Invasion of the Body Snatchers (70's version) Also, one of the greatest films ever: Dellamorte Dellamore

QUOTE(Stocking @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) Would you be saying that today it is common knowledge, so perhaps you could see how i might find the ending weak? [/b] Somewhat. You also have to realize that if Speilberg were to change the ending to what is considered one of the greatest literary works of all time, he would be met with a major problem. It would not be too unlike changing the ending of any works by Mark Twain or any other literary giant.

If one person in this world says "I like Adam Sandler, I think he's good" he has become "overrated, IMO.

I admit the prices SUCK! But let's have fun, let's have one of our UK folk tell us their prices!!!

YOu have to be kidding me, you are going to attack the book for it's "lame" ending??? The book that has been around for 107 years? The book and author that is responsible for pretty much EVERYTHING in Sci-Fi history? HG Wells was a man WAY ahead of his time. He is solely responsible for many of the things that drove people to get us into space. His ending for the book is not that poor when you realize that his ending was still not common knowledge. This was a time in the world where this type of thing was not so unusual as we in this country were in the process of wiping out the Indians with Small Pox. It was also a time before anti-biotics and the idea that you COULD come up with some minor form of vaccine to help you survive. Also, if this race had planted the ships millions of years ago, and had left them behind to go about destroying other civilizations, maybe the viruses had changed enough in that time. It only takes about 50 years for a virus to mutate into something else, and sometimes in the case of AIDS, it only takes a decade for a new strain to show up. So how is a race that was only here say, oh, a million years ago, how are they going to keep up on it? Can you suspend your belief long enough to fall in line with the movie that actually does have a VERY plausible ending if you let yourself step into it a bit? It is not such a wild idea. I find it crazy that many of the same people I have heard complain about the ending are the same ones who also love Independence Day, which is a WOTW ripoff, but dumbed down...WAY down. As for the son. In every tragedy or disaster, there is always a story that borders on "miracle". You will always find the story of the person that came through terrible odds. On a scale the size of this, one that covers the entire world, there is bound to be atleast ONE story where the people came through as they did here. I just look at it like the person telling the story chose to use this group to talk about. Having everybody come out as they did also falls in line with HG Wells, as he himself was a philanthropist and despised war. He would want his story to have a strong message (as all of his tales did), but one that would also give hope in the end. I think Speilberg did him a great service.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Jul 11, 2005 -> 10:09 AM) Jeff Bridges is the most underrated actor EVER in my book. He is great in everything I have ever seen and he nor his movies get much publicity. My others are Philip Seymour Hoffman The Rock Steve "Crazy Eyes" Buscemi William H. Macy Ed Harris Jake Busey Bert Reynolds Alec Baldwin Chris Cooper Hard to disagree with anybody on that list. But all of them, pretty much, are respected for their abilities. I think this list should be more of a "criminally overlooked by the public", as most of the people in this thread are respected HIGHLY by their peers. With the exception of Sandler. Oh, and Pesci is actually the person that most people remember from Casino and Goodfellas.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 10, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) If you really want to see it, wait until it comes out on video. If you really want to see it, go see it. If it is a movie you have looked forward to, at all, never let somebody else's opinion sway your choice. This is coming from a guy who does reviews for magazines and websites.

Sandler is already over-rated in every single aspect of life. :puke Place him and Keanu on the same boat for me, and site the torpedo's.

I don't know about meaningless or useless. If you can find me some way of travel that does not include automobiles, planes, trains, boats, or anything else of the sort, and can get me there in the matter of second? Rock the f*** on my friend! I detest driving, and I have a fear of flying, but I really want to get around the country, and I would LOVE to see the UK and Japan. This stuff will never happen in my lifetime, and if it does the research will have been so minor that there is no way I will ever do it, but somewhere down the road, I don't see how this could possibly be a meaningless endevor. I bet it would hurt like hell though.

DAMMIT!!! I clicked on the profile and now am trying not to bust out laughing here at work!!! LOL!!! I'm leaving in two hours to go to a Godzilla convention, and if they knew I was goofing around now also, I'd be...well...they wouldn't care...but still!!!

I never check the profiles. I've always felt weird doing that, almost like peeping. It's one of those areas that as long as I don't do it, I am not an internet loser. Just ignore my post count...on all 20 boards I visit...thanks...

I went with >4. Ya gotta think BIG, ya know? Strap it down though man, and I'll ship ya a few brews. My soon to be brother-in-law entered in the home brew world, and started with an Alt. He's a Bud Light man, so I think I am getting a case of home brew. Want some?

Thanks for the info. For a second I thought it might be you, and I was thrown for a loop as it's nothing like what I pictured. I have no idea what I picture, but it isn't that. Or Connie Chung. I always loved Connie though.

Charged GBH - Race Against Time That song has the most badassed beginning ever recorded.

She's hot, and she has nice "feet". Tex, who's that in your avatar?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) She looks like an alien............ but I'd still put her legs up. You're a sucker for romance I see.

I am also going to add a personal fave of mine, Christina Applegate.
