Arrgh!! Pretty soon everyone's going to film 3 movie at once, like Mr. LotR director. Oh wait....maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing...might improve consistency... Edit: Then again, if the SW prequel had been filmed all at once...*pictures that floppy-earred creature jivin' through all 3* *shudder*

I liked three things about PotC...Geoffrey Rush, Greg Ellis and the monkey. And the cinemotography. And music. Ok, that's five things. A sequel eh? What a surprise.

Greyhound...are they still around? Then yeah, I'd agree, they're always a good option if you don't have much stuff. When I was 19, I was already in my own place with furniture, computers (what passed for them then anyway), tons of books and such, pets etc. Sometimes it's hard to decide if it's cheaper to toss it all and buy new(ish) stuff or not. But beds and shelving can definitely be ignored. heh Oh and...San Fran is definitely a good option vs. NY. Good suggestion.

The first 1/2 of sci-fi's original "Manticore." The most notable thing about it was being able to point and say "Hey, that's..." Voyager's Chakotay (Roger Beltran).

How much money would I need to make the move? Depends a lot on the cost of living/housing in the place you want to go, and/or what you're willing to put up with for, say, a few months to a year. For example, where I live, just to rent a small place would probably cost you around $3K-5K to move-in. In terms of the moving costs alone - if you drive, the cost of gas and whatever shipping/moving fees you end up with. Coast to coast is approx. 3000 miles (more or less depending on locations of course) for gas mileage considerations. How would I go about securing lodgings/work once I am there. Some say you should have something lined up before you actually move, but I know that's not always realistic. Temp agencies while you're looking for a more permanent job would be my advice on the job front. Housing....you might be able to call ahead to some find-a-rental company that could find you something before you leave. Of course, that be an extra cost service but it might be worth it to save you some hassle. How do you transport all your worldly possessions cross country cheaply and effectively. When my sister moved from CA to MA and back again, she put her stuff on planes and drove her body. She seemed happy with the results. I don't know what she did or used for the baggage-by-air route, or how much it'd cost, since it was years ago. Another friend tried just using UPS (they didn't have a lot of stuff) but complained UPS broke most of their things - likely because they didn't self-pack the boxes very well. If you're comfy driving big trucks you could try renting a big truck and towing your own car behind. And yeah...get rid of anything you absolutely do not need, or put it in storage to wait and see if you want it/need it later, when you're more settled in.

Another poll! I thought that Atton's was the most satisfying in a story-like fashion. Beginning, middle, end kind of thing. I also thought the way they altered his motivations/reasons for telling the story depending on whether you were Dark or Light was fun - gave the story different potential meaning (and doubt about whether it was even true or not) and I always like that sort of thing. Kreia's could have been a lot better with more insight into her mind and motivations. Yeah, I know, they tried at the end, but too little too late for me. A potentially complex character too watered down.

Christian Bale - American Psycho cracked me up. But I'm twisted maybe. He did great in the Batman and Machinist. He's goin' places.

So not ELO but TSO? Thank you very much, you're my new hero. I really like the 'Remember' song. I'll have to go out and buy the CD now.

Dialogue makes a game longer and breaks up the action, giving a game less of the 'all combat' feel. . .It (ideally) makes you feel a part of how the game develops because of choices you made, although more often than not, the choices don't really affect all that much beyond party config. and more dialogue. It helps many people feel more like they're part of a story rather than just an observor, perhaps more like one feels when reading a book. That said...I'm one of those that likes choices and fun lines in games, but I'm not very big on really long dialogues that I'm forced to read in order to progress through a (visual) game. Too many long dialogue menus that pause the game remind me I'm playing a game by taking me 'outside' of the flow of the game. I'm the same way with reading books - I read books in one or two sittings most of the time, because to read 30 pages a day disrupts the flow too much & isn't immersive enough for me. So I'm kind of in the middle in terms of wanting dialogue in rpg's. I want some, just not an overload.

He gave us many Happy Days. --------- Ok...that was bad, I'm sorry. Maybe.

Family Man...it's old and I'd seen it before, but it's a cute movie. And I like Nicholas Cage.

Well, I was hungry, and it was beautiful to me...

Strictly Ballroom soundtrack - yeah I like ballroom (you may need to turn the volume up, it's a quiet snippet)

My poor brains. Brainssss....

Disciple. Atton's close next, and T3 would be 3rd...I like T3's 'personality'. Bewoop. Edit - 1st time I played and T3 'talked' to me from his room in that cut-scene, I thought he was soooo adorable. Way more adorable than droids are in the movies.

Team America was a pretty funny movie. I didn't realize it was the same voice actor tho...that's great. :D

Flurry or Crit. strike for me. I usually gave party members Crit. Strike and Power Attack, because I liked the way they looked, and they never cast Speed on themselves as meleer's.

You sound a lot like me when it comes to trying to find games these days. I like/d mindless stuff like Diablo and still do sometimes, but they don't hold my attention for very long. I keep going back to my old games...

ELO...lol...I'd forgotten all about them. Yeah, it does, somewhat.

Reminds me a bit of hooked on classics, for some reason.

I still like the music...and still don't know what it's from, if anything.

I dunno...religious novels, religious movies, religious games. I don't see anything weird about it. Just another genre for people who might like them. But I probably won't be buying any of them.

1. Never heard of him. 2. Never heard of them. 3. Noooooooooooooooo!!! Pat, my man! *cries*
