You can go through withdrawal for soda? Well, ****. I better stop drinking so much of it.

I realised a while back that I have to accept fights will happen. Mainly because a) I'm pretty insensitive b) I date fiery women c) I enjoy a good fight I vote for A (I'm really insensitive) and B, but I only vote for C when it's anyone else. I enjoy a good fight, but not with her because I have a tendency to say things that really hurt when I'm angry. I can only think of one reason that makes fighting with her worth it, because the cliche is true: make-up sex is great.

I know it happens in every relationship, but I really hate fighting with my significant other, because I hate it when she's sad or angry.

Haven't found any problems while installing, if anyone else wonders. That gives it a better track record than Vista so far.

Ugh, tell me about it. Two years back I would go out drinking six nights a week, if I try that now I need one of those narcolepsy helmets because after three days of not catching a full night of sleep I will just start falling asleep randomly anywhere.

I'd like to add another recommendation for MSF. Some old internet buddies of mine I lost touch with but still have fond nostalgic memories off volunteered for them, and they needed all the help they could get.

Wrestling - because real Gladiators are illegal.

I honestly don't remember playing any 2009 games. Except for Scribblenauts, which I played casually in train rides at best and was a bit of a disappointment. This was a bad year for my inner gamer because I never had time to play games. I'm not going to have the time to try out my anticipated titles like Arkham Asylum or Dragon Age until like a month from now.

Why'd they pick Kate Beckinsale for a movie where they have her solving a crime mostly wearing a parka? Why couldn't they have the crime take place on a bikini-only beach?

Sunshine? I saw 9 (the animated one with the rag dolls). Quite honestly, it seemed like a waste of render farms to me. The story was okay, and the action sequences were decent, but the script and the pacing were so horrible, and the characters so bland and boring, that at times I was too bored to even keep watching.

I'm going to the inlaws.

Alright, to each their own I guess, but I don't see how the action can be described "a mess" at all. The action was so incredibly well done and epic. And I welcomed an action movie without that shaky cam bull**** that's so popular nowadays.

Starting on Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Then getting back into the Discworld series with Pyramids and Guards! Guards!

Well, yes, that much is obvious, but if there's a prevention method for any known issues then I'd like to know beforehand and save me a reinstall.

We know there are lots of issues getting it to work on Windows Vista, but I've upgraded to Windows 7, and I was wondering if there are any known issues when it comes to installing and running KotOR II on that?

I guess we'll have to wait for the Pandorapedia entry.

The movies art style was "influenced" by, or ripped off from if you prefer, album covers of the band Yes. I don't think they have any other explanation except that it looks cool. I think the official explanation is that they are filled with Unobtainium, a superconductor. The Unobtainium creates a magnetic field, and this magnetic field clashes with the magnetic field of Pandora itself. The idea is that they were originally formed on the ground, broke off and sort of just float around a bit, and not that they formed like this. The waterfalls is just meltwater from ice, and water from rain and mist. There's problems with this explanation but I can buy it enough for a cool movie scene. Also, yes, Pandora is a moon. A moon of a gas giant (I think it's called Polypous or Polymorphous or something) in the Alpha Centauri A star system.

If he had spent 14 years coming up with anything else, it would be the most epic anything else you have ever seen. Really. Also, I have to admit, you have to get used to the Na'vi look. They are kind of goofy. When Jake first goes into his Avatar and they test out his ear movements, I was like "oh god what did I get myself into". Thankfully that feeling soon faded away and was replaced by complete awe.

It seems I'm a bit younger than most people here, but I felt much the same way. Except my comparison was: my first theater experience, five year old dinosaur obsessed kid, Jurassic Park. I saw it again twice now. Once in 3D again, and once standard in a local theater with some friends (it was a spur of the moment kind of thing) and I was happy to discover that the movie can be enjoyed flat. So that might cheer up those who don't have the opportunity to see it in theaters right now.

He was hilarious in Bad Lieutenant. That film is so odd. He has all these weird mannerisms in there that just make you go "...?". Plus, at some point he hallucinates iguanas on his coffee table, and there's this super long, loving shot of the iguanas.

Wow. Worldwide: $329,266,915. It's definitely gonna make back it's budget, then. Because it's only just in release so it'll definitely make some more cash. Plus, it's eventually gonna be a hit on DVD.

I just don't understand all these people going 'the plot sucks'. It's not original, I'll admit. It is, however, a decent plot that is done well. It borrows from other sources, but I don't understand how that is a bad thing in itself when it forms a good whole. I felt the same way when my english teacher couldn't stop ranting about how Lord of the Rings ripped off all kinds of old tales.

I knew about that. Isn't she called upon for female character dialogues a lot? I think she doctored Rene Russo in Lethal Weapon. But mostly it's just novelists, screenwriters and directors. Joss Whedon and Kevin Smith do a lot of script doctoring I think.

I saw it. It was a pretty useful lesson on filmmaking. Chapter 11: What not to do. Anyway, I probably not going to get anywhere with this, but I recommend you see it anyway. I was pretty skeptical going in (hearing things like Ferngully meets Thundersmurfs on Ain't It Cool News all the time will do that to you), and while I was like "this is it?" for the first 15 minutes, after that I was sucked in completely and just let all it's pure, unwashed epic give me pleasure*. *Why yes, I did take effort to make that sound as disgusting as possible.

Aww, that's too bad.
