  1. Can we get back on topic and bash canada please?
  2. KOTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!! Voted!
  3. I agree with ShinIchiro here. You absolutely cannot say Moore is anything but a talented writer and producer. Wit isn't half of it. The fact that he put together all these ecclectic pieces and arranged them into a coherent and flowing film that radiated a strong, if biased, central message certainly shows the man did SOMETHING right.
  4. I think Moore's documentaries mostly ride on hype and sensationalism (and yellow journalism) using shock to make those that already share his opinions (yes, I do say opinions, because dispite the presentation of an objective and unbiased "documentary", the clips/commentaries are skewed one way or another) watch his documentary to feel stronger about them while those that don't watch his documentaries out of curiosity and a form of defiance. It's a money making scheme no matter how you look at it. HOWEVER, Moore's documentaries DO contain truths, and if you look past the bias and skew, these truths ARE a very integral part of the success of his films. I view Moore's documentaries not as a "shockingly biased" work but as a testament to the freedom of speech that all of us enjoy in America. It presents a view which some may share, other's may not, but the fact that this view is expressed at all and we're here discussing it as civilized men (looks at Volourn)... or maybe not... is a strong message in and of itself.
  5. breaking and entering for WHAT? What the hell is there that's worth the effort to steal in Canada? We all know Canadian money is WORTHLESS. Canadian cars are all detroit imports and therefore WORTHLESS. The most advanced house hold techonological item in Canada is a RADIO, which is WORTHLESS. And, you know, it's kinda hard to break into an igloo, especially since every igloo-house in Canada has a vicious I-can't-fly-but-I-can-peck-your-groin-into-a-bloody-pulp watch-penguin.
  6. force lightning is still in. whach'u talkin' bout willis?
  7. GG STAR TREK. IT'S BEEN FUN. :: plays the taps ::
  8. I have faith in Christian Bale. Equilibrium was nothing short of a thrilling cerebral masterpiece (in my opinion, of course). I've been looking forward to this for a while.
  9. Surprisingly good would have to be Hidalgo. I sat through the first 10 minutes thinking it was gonna be crap. But the second part really surprised me and raised my rating for the movie from a 1/10 to 7/10. Surprisingly bad would have to be Reloaded. I gathered a bunch of friends to go to the AMC theatre in NYC to see it. Oh man, was it a dissapointment.
  10. BRING BACK MY LIM-LIMS!!!! wait.... No eyes... no teeth... wth is it, a lump of meat?
  11. firstly, you can't compare US murder rates to Canada because there are so many more dumbasses that deserve to be murdered in the US. Hell, have you ever heard of the "ONTARIO SNIPER" or "TORONTO TERRORIST"? No, because Canada's full of real nice and caring folks that people would rather hug than murder. Hell, the meanest thing in Canada is probably a cuddly little polar bear, and the only reason they get murdered is for their fur.
  12. What kind of game are these headsets for? If you need them for an fps and need to distinguish footstep directions on the fly, get a lower end bose or altec-lansing. If you're just using it for music/rpg/rts/adventure where 3d effects are not all that important, then just go to your local electronics store and pick up any ol' model for $9.99. Of course, me being a geek, modded my own pair of this stuff. 4 speakers each covering a different range of frequencies on each side bridged by a crude aluminum band = awesome stuff.
  13. I've been a steady and faithful asimov fan. As such, I've read I-Robot at least twice when I was a teenager. I saw the trailer for the movie and I don't quite recall the book being this violent... either way, I'll go see it.
  14. Or little green leprechauns mugging you in dark alleys and shoving rigid plastic clovers up your butt.
  15. HAHA! LIVING in ICELAND is preferable to living in the US?!!! what's iceland got that we haven't got?
  16. anyone else find this line particularly amusing?
  17. What's wrong with crime? Life is boring without the occasional bout with murder.
  18. Now now, you young'uns aren't the only guys who can enjoy an RPG, us old geezers love them too, ya know!
  19. what, you guys want to start a HADES_ONE fanclub or something? I'M IN!
  20. Well, the "about the author" section on almost every book lists his ambitions as "I'll keep writing until they nail my coffin shut". I've got a hammer. Who's got the nails?
  21. Sure bastila should come back! In a body bag... Have her head mounted as trophy on the north side wall of the bridge.
  22. I'll go for the obvious here: anatomically correct life sized inflatable bastila doll.
  23. Does it get better? 'fraid not.
