QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 11, 2010 -> 07:20 AM) The original stuff isnt the fluff and filler that you complain about. The original stuff is usually the oscar-worthy stuff and the movies you see at Sundance and Cannes. For me it's not even that. Even if 75% of what they churn out is crap, I'd rather see original crap than unoriginal, entirely derivative crap. I don't spend my life railing against it other than commenting here, but really, is there even a point to some of these "reboots" when sometimes their near shot-for-shot remakes of the original source film (see, John Moore's 2006 The Omen as one of the premier examples).

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 07:14 PM) really, the "Hollywood hasnt had an original idea in....." thing is worn out for me. . . .why the big fuss? Ach, there looks to be plenty of crap coming out of the Hollywood for the forseeable future, and you are more than welcome to my share of it.

Surprising is the fact that you can basicaly buy off the shelf autonomous robots that operate that deep. For about a million bucks anyway.

Very upset I don't have mine yet.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 03:57 PM) Kim Novak Ah, Vertigo is a favorite for sure, and yeah, she was a tall drink of water as Jimmy Stewart might have said.

XL years ago, who would have thought we'd have autonomous vehicles that can operate 6,000 m deep?

Marilyn absolutely up there, but variety is the spice of life — even in the case of dead starlets. Ingrid Bergman circa Casablanca is at the very top of my list.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 12:16 PM) Since when it too many rich people a bad thing? That means your property may actually appreciate. I think that was Rowland's point, actually. I just which rich people didn't have to ask so. . . rich.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 10, 2010 -> 07:43 AM) I just found out that Bettie Page passed away a year ago Looking at her pictures when I was a teenager always brought a (ahem) smile to my face. Probably the most sexiest woman ever, RIP That would actually be a fun thread — History's most beautiful women. I have many of my own favorites from early Hollywood and pin-up days. Olive Thomas is one of those beautiful, tragic starlets of young Hollywood. Married to a Pickford, had it all, and dead at 25 from a suspicious accidental poisoning.

Couldn't exactly manage that. 3.5-mile target depths and a scope of 7:1 would have required nearly 25 miles of cable. And the AUVs, despite an operational depth of 6,000m, have no capacity for in situ sampling.

Earhart's plane. We looked for it, but couldn't find it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 9, 2010 -> 10:45 AM) Seems like Hollywood has not had an original idea in years.

Lots of defense of Mr. Lynne's heavy-handed production for someone who doesn't even own their music.

Ni does, I gather.

Producer of some the most overdone music of the three decades.

Really that would be quite a stretch.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 09:31 PM) Rex's first film! SWEET!! It's no Velvet Marauder, but it looks fun.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 12:56 PM) Look in Mt. Greenwood, Beverly/Morgan Park area. The ride to the Cell is a hop skip and jump away and metra is right there. The neighborhood/community atmosphere is pretty cool there as well. Housing slump or not, $300K won't get you into anything worth inhabiting in Beverly. Totally depressng to know I'll never in my life be able to afford a house in the neighborhood I grew up in.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 11:54 PM) Worst musical of all time! Vast wasteland of a film, EXCEPT for the revisioning of LA's gone-but-not-forgottem Pan-Pacific Auditorium as the film's namesake nightclub. Phenomenal Art-Deco facade that was also the inspiration for the entrance of Disney's Hollywood (formally MGM) Studios. Pan-Pacific burned to the ground in 1989, literally three weeks after the Disney Park opened.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 10:45 PM) I don't believe they're going to call it Jimbo's. Some inside information I got on this last week was it was going to be called Cork and Kerry at the Ballpark. Cork is a stumble away from the house I grew up in, but sentiment aside I would like to see them keep the Jimbo's name.

Xanadu is where Kubla Khan a stately pleasure-dome decreed.

Messin' with Texas is nt as amusing as Messing with Sasquatch.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 7, 2010 -> 11:17 PM) I'll teach you anything you want to know. (10 points) How do ctenoid and cycloid scales, characteristic of most modern teleosts, differ from the ganoid scales of more ancestral lineages such as the Lepisosteiformes? What sorts of selection pressures may have been responsible for the evolution of these later scale types? Cite any references used in the formulation of your answer. I'm taking my class fishing this year, but first they have to answer a bunch of questions like this.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 06:57 AM) yawn. That's the norm down here. I'd love me an authentic Jewish deli with a crabby old staff behind the counter that I could torment with requests for mayo and white bread. I want to fill my belly at Ruben's Deli. It's the norm here as well in certain pockets, but it took years before we had a great Mexican eatery in striking distance.

QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Jan 7, 2010 -> 10:01 PM) ^^^ Aguas are THE BEST, but probably about 1/2 of restaurants/taquerias or less get them right... I totally missed good aguas frescas and horchata down here for years until a brilliant taqueria opened up down the road from work a couple of years ago that gets it right.
