They turned a good idea for an action plot into a horrible attempt at explaining evolution. I was half expecting to hear that their ship was named "The Beagle".
The movie was watchable, but far, far, far frok "great".
I think you may have missed the point. The plot of Master and Commander was far from convincing, but that was more than made up for by the incredable atmosphere of the movie.
Master and Commander makes you really feel like you're on a 18th century scooner. It's perhaps the best done sailing movie I have ever seen. In terms of the atmosphere of the movie, I think it rivals ROTK, which I saw today.
This is bullcrap. If I don't care and feel no moral object to downloading music, why would 'risk-sharing' upset me. I don't even know what risk sharing is!
The moral impact of downloading music for me is ZERO, in spite of what some MBA monkey tells me. 'Risk sharing' isn't going to scare me into sharing less.
The american public payed millions of dollars of taxes to send a man to the moon and bring back moon rocks. Therefore, I find it strange and wrong that moon rocks can be in private hands.
Everybody paid to bring the rocks here, and therefore these rocks should belong to all American people, not to private owners.
No, these aren't. Plenty of kids go through high school and don't do these things. The fact that some do is no excuse to let the adolescent world run rampant.
Theres a big BIIIIG difference between controlling everything your kids do, and implying that your kids have to right to a personal life and letting them run rampant.
The best thing you can do is teach them as best you can, but let them the freedom to make their own decisions. The key word here is TRUST. If you raise your kids correctly, to be great people and all, you should be able to TRUST them.
The author of the previous comment obviously keeps his kids on a tight leash, and obviously doesn't trust them. That's why I think he's going to be surprised. Your kids external appearence (especially if you happen to be a very restrictive parent) has little to do with what they actually are like.
F'n idiot.
Swearing is the last resort of someone who doesn't know what to say.
I can't stand politically correct bullshit like this. Of course you can make your kid turn out gay. Simply get him into thinking that sex with women is wrong... he'll just turn those urges some other way.
Trust me, since I was probably a kid more recently than you have (i'm 21, some may argue I still am a kid). Honor students, gifted musicians, and eagle scount mean nothing.
I've known them all, and honor students, giften musicians and (in Canada) Air/Army/Sea Cadets or Boy/Girl scouts get just as drunk and have just as much sex as every other teenager. You can't watch your kids all of the time, it's physically impossible, and you have to accept the fact that they WILL try drinking, they WILL have sex and chances are they will try drugs. These are just things kids do in high school, and your restrictivness and controlling attitude may actually encourage these things to happen.
It doesn't matter how nice your kids seem to you, they WILL surprise you, especially since you can't accept that they may have lives of their own.
17-19$ Goes a long way in Edmonton (I beleive thats where the job is) compared to lets say Vancouver or Toronto where you'd need at least 25$/hour.
As a current resident of Vancouver and a previous resident of Calgary (Calgary and Edmonton are basically the same city, just in different locations) I can tell you that the cost of living in Edmonton is greater than it is in Vancouver. Rent costs about the same, but things like food, utilities, and transportation are far more expensive in Edmonton. Bottom line, 17 bucks an hour sucks just as much in Edmonton as it does in Vancouver.
I thought the alternate universe idea was pretty cool. As I recall, that movie was quite sucessful.
As for the tomnraider movie, it's coz the movie was popular and made lots of money. Anyway, it had angelina jolie in it being sexy, what more do you want?

This is just unbeleivable! Nantucket island is filled with greener than thou environmentalists.
Apparently, windfarms are only acceptable in places where they don't offend the rich and the green. The middle of the dessert or the middle of a farmer's field is ok... but ruining they're prestine ocean view? Unacceptable! That ruins the environment for.... umm.... seabirds... thats it, it kills seabirds.
The redhead you speak of is Jenny Lewis. You can try to 'do' her today if you like. Better yet, you could listen to her music, as she is currently the lead singer of Rilo Kiley, a southern california indie band.
The fact that the government is willing to release the documents proves that UFOs did land at Roswell. They would never release documents that talk about the UFO. This to me is just another in the chain of lies that have been purpetrated by our government for almost 60 years.
A few years back, I heard about something called an MPTrip CD player, it was the first of it's kind. A portable CD Player that could actually play MP3s.... it was cheep too, only 150 CDN dollars!
I ran out and got one as soon as it came out. Frankly it was a piece of shit, none of the features one would really need like skipping between albums was there. It skipped like MAD, and it sucked battery power like there was no tomorow. Overall, a terrible CD player, it couldn't even play regular CD's!
Needless to say, I stopped using it after about a month. Two years later (or a few weeks ago) I picked up a second mp3 CD player, this one rocks and actually works. The product has been seriously refined since the first one came out, and I am very satisfied.
From reading "The Bad" part of this review I see that the author is having the same sort of problems... I guess the message is: hmmm thats cool, but I'll wait until Panasonic, Sony, or anyother reputable company makes one.

Yeah but it wouldn't come in cool mozilla packaging.... thats what I'm paying for.
Perhaps their first goal should be to get a man or woman in space... when they do that I'll start listening to their outer claims.
2008 is only 4.5 years from now, so it sure sounds like a tall order.
Get a man into space, then maybe I'll pay attention.
Wow.... you can read but apparently not much else.
Have you ever wanted to write in the Elvish script?
No, no I haven't.
Sean Connery was LOUSY! Roger Moore was by far the best James Bond.
but IE forces you to msn anyway. What do most people do? They type google.com to find what they need, and show MSN the finger.
A 60 mW wind farm? 60 milliwatt windfarm??? Wow, are they hooking little generators up to 10 cm propellers or something?
I think what your trying to say is 60 MW, not mW... some people might get confused.
I liked supermariobrothers :(
