Like the other posts have said, no one knows when Christ was born. Scholars have argued for 6 or 7 B.C. (Which puts us past true Y2K), while others argue that he wasnt born until 7 AD. Either way, we will likely NEVER know precisely. Essentially you could argue that time has been a relative guess-after all, a day isn't truly 24 hours, if you want to really be technical. The calendar, times etc, all were made standards, to fit a broad generalization.... BOTTOM LINE-The true millenium starts January 1, 2001. The world knew that the 20th century started on January 1, 1901-so how does a world's logic change that soon? (NOTE: anyone who has access to the Philadelphia Inquirer from the week before Christmas, they have a great article on this.) If we start with 1, we can't start with 0-but the reasons why this is only y2k, not the millenium, are too difficult for many feeble minded people to understand....but on the bright side, we can throw 2 big parties in consecutive New Years...one for y2k, one for the millenium
loed asterix and obelix, not sure if its german based, but i got a dearth of the books when i was in germany 7 yrs ago-my host family lived near a book factory, and the father of the family worked there, so i got many for free....very good, fun book-even made video game based on it
i believe it was in the bus station, but there was also a sign for loughran airlines(i may have the spelling wrong). she is kevin's secretary. also, the carry-over skee-ball reference from chasing amy
it wasnt cut because of who picked it up-kevin smith cut it because it didnt go with the rest of the film, as mentioned on clerks dvd. hence, dante will likely return, or yet another reincarnation of a hicks
Lets do the run down-Smith makes Clerks on Black and white film, largely funded by selling his comics and maxing his credit cards. A great, funny flick. Mallrats, admittedly, fell flat at the box office. But I don't understand why many people persist in bashing the movie. It wasnt Smith's best, but to say it was a case of giving "this hot indie kid 15 mil and see what happens", Smith had already conceived the idea for the entire Jersey Trilogy before he was ever approached for Mallrats. So it wasnt made because of money-if anything, the money almost destroyed the movie completely-the execs wanted Jason Mewes to be out of the role of Jay- Chasing Amy strayed from the blatant humor, and was more of a thinking man's movie, in terms of some jokes. But it was just as enjoyable, no doubt. Dogma is more like Chasing Amy than it is like Clerks or Mallrats. It makes you think, while at the same time providing entertainment value, and good Smith jokes. Any questions on Mallrats, rent the special edition DVD-nice interview with Smith and Scott Mosier, as well as Jay talking about the situation of nearly losing his part, etc. One of the nicer "added bonus" DVDs
That isn't the official page-it is a fan page that is linked to Kevin, but not owned or operated by him. The guys that run it started as fans. The official View Askew site is www.viewaskew.com.
Uh, lets see-Brian O'Halloran will assuredly be in the next smith flic-he has been in all of them, and the next one is a sequel to Clerks. Jason Lee was in Dogma, and played his role nicely. Since the time of Chasing Amy, Smith was writing one role for Affleck, and Damon went along with him-not a package deal, but this was also pre-Good Will/Saving PVt Ryan success, and the two have genuiniely good chemistry. And remember-Damon was in Chasing Amy...
Dogma was probably Kevin Smith's finest in terms of all-around quality. To understand it, you need to watch his previos three. To truly be able to watch ANY Smith movie, you really do need to watch them all in order of release-they work of off each other. Silent Bob, for those not in the know, is Smith the director. The humor of it is, he just sits there, says one or two things funny/insightful for the entire movie(except Chasing Amy), and he just makes gestures, but thats it. More or less, he keeps Jay in check, I would say. As far as calling it a half finished movie, what anyone who sees it needs to take into consideration-Smith was forced to cut over an hour from the film(can't wait for that DVD), so no doubt, some key developments that would have helped lay on a cutting room floor, or his View Askew vault. He was under tremendous pressure, for writing and making a movie that so many people who were raised Catholic should be able to relate to-either on a serious level, or a comedic level-there were plenty of protests against it, and in the spring, he didn't even have a distributor-disney/miramax kinda dropped him because of the pressure. so-if you need to get a better background of Kevin Smith style of film, watch(in this order) Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, then Dogma.
not all firewire cards are that expensive-unless my opinion of what is and isnt expensive differs a whole bunch, ads systems offers their pyro card, with i believe 2 firewire ports, for 180. compusa is supposed to carry it, but i havent looked for it yet. it also comes with software. granted, the ones worth buying to really do the editing are more, this card will be fine for most
in reality, one's IQ is not heavily valued. you take the test once or twice, usually in grade school, and thats it. no high school or college tries-you have the joyous SAT for that test of intelligence-or stamina to endure a ridiculous battery of seemingly irrelevant questions-thats where people get words like feeble. they are SAT words... point is, however "smart" or "lucky" people under the age of 18 are, they do have regulations to follow, for reasons. you want to say that 2 out of 200 students do something incromprehensible...here you are referencing intelligence....but lets not forget incidents at collumbine, atlanta, and other schools. you want to know why people treat those under age 18 with little respect and give them a hard time?because the large majority of media focus falls on the bad ones(though lately, there seem to be more bad than good). i remember being unable to go to certain things or do certain things because of age. it sucks, but you deal. you are only truly young once, enjoy it, and dont rush it-there will be other COMDEX shows, when he is actually legal
**Being age 13 and working for an incorporated business is usually against Federal labor laws. Would that make you the sort of person you honestly won't be doing business with?** as the law sees it, and as it has been explained to me by people in business for quite some time(including lawyers), there is no age limit on owning your own company-every kid at some point has a lawn mowing "company" or something of the sort. to incorporate protects the individual, regardless of age.....he wasnt hired but someone at 13-he was doing the hiring.that makes all the difference
http://www.deegan.com/ i think this is related to that guy who squatted on or is squatting on 12,000 plus family names.....he should get www.iama(insert expletive).com----its all about the almighty buck, and its absurb-i check my last name to see if its available and it isnt-and there arent that many of us out there. i hope mr. henley wins,as with mr. reznor. lets have some sanity in an otherwise insane world

and i forgot-Mallrats was blatant, and openly admitted by Smith, as tribute to John Hughes
