Since the major part of you here are afraid to set foot in any other forum on the boards I thought Id share this artwork with you too. http://www.xn--holmstrm-t4a.net/art/kvinna6.jpg if you the story behind it, you'll have to drag your bottoms over to Off Topic.

I know we've been through this already but why do you think BL's action was bad? I had no problems with it at all, the close combat didnt offer fightergame-esque control but it was fully adequate. And the shooting; not hitting what you're aiming straight at it, is always annoying, but its wasnt as horribly frustrating as in Deus Ex for instance.

The only way I can endure hack n slash is if it would be FPS like action gaming like in Bloodlines(must have guns also), I just dont get the fun in "tactical isometric" which is why I never touched the Icewind Dale series. Do you think one has to be a D&D pen and paper gamer and know the rules to appreciate the tactical parts?

yuO are correct. ..and how do blind people watch TV?

Its all bussiness and politics, morals have nothing to do with the real goings-on in the stemcell area. The very second Pfizer or another giant begins to generate revenue from the research, the christian lobbyists will be kicked out of Washington in a heartbeat and the whole thing will be a non-issue. The christian right is a powerful lobby that controls a substantial portion of the votes but even they will have to step back when the money begins to talk.

Hihihihi.. I think that "Noooo" wont make it to the DVD

All they'd have to do is ask R2 :D

Im just sad that noone seems to have gotten my excellent braille joke ..it took me at least a minute to prepare and post, you know.

Forget about the trouble and just tanz, tanz, tanz! *still listening to above*

NAY!!!! THEY ARE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. Adam West > Everyone else

I think these new films are for sissies, Batman You might just be right about that, Robin. I find they are little match for the brilliance of our television series.

I dont hate Lucas, Im just saying that Star Wars isnt exactly "The 400 blows" ..and I have good reason to be against this "turning a film up and down to find a deeper meaning that isnt there" stuff. I wrote a paper in Uni about Bergmans "Persona"(1962) doing a deep analysis of the intro sequence. Then a month later I read an interview with Bergman in which he says it was just some damn random phootage he threw together to make it more artsy, he didnt mean squat with it :D In fact he partially did it to "give those damn brainless film critics something to fuss about"

Well, Im sure I can come up with a devastatingly deep and ambitious intepretation of Rambo III from a geopolitical perspective, but in the end.. its just a dumb action film and nothing more. If the writer/director doesnt intend a film to have a deeper meaning, its folly to try and find one. And Ive only seen RotS once, and I wont be seeing it again on the big screen.

Bollocks. You can come up with as many profound interpretations of SW as you like, but its all just as meaningles as trying to polish a turd. With Lucas, what you see is all there is.

-Isnt it difficult to know which lipstick color to choose when you can only see through the force? -No, on Miraluka, all cosmetic products are marked with special force-braille.

It was one of the most inane films I have ever seen. Today's educational screening: Triumpf des willens 1934, Leni Riefenstahl -Its been on almost 5 minutes now, its just a black screen and bombastic music. Im beginning to think somethings wrong. Ah, there. It feels a bit odd to watch though, a little like when you were watching stuff alone in the Uni's screening theatre and teachers and people would always walk in during the precisely wrong moments. Like the masturbation scene in "Doulou Tianshi" Wong Kar-wei, 1995

Thats an interesting line of thought, Steve. I think that the every day occupation thing would be the hardest thing about living with Visas. She cant watch TV, read or fiddle with the PC, what would you do then after the days battles are done? There's always charging up her loading ramp, but doing that for several hours each evening would leave both of us quite sore.

1) Well it is one of the more memorable parts of the film. 2) Roger Ebert named it "The worst contribution ever in the history of the festival" then Gallo edited out the 20min intro scene thats just him driving along a highway in New Hampshire with the photographer filming the road. And after that Ebert said it was ok. There are some films that need to be tedious to really be able to deliver the punch in the end like Triers "Dogville" but "The brown bunny" is just plain tedious. Its essentially a 10min short film thats strethed over 90minutes.

I was going to dl a copy of Ep3 bvut then I found some cool old silent films and took them instead. all legal because the copyright is out.

Im shure the continuity editors at Lucas Licensing has got it all in check. I expect a good chunk of the EU will be scratched of the canon material list now. Like they did with pre-sequel stuff like Dark Empire and most of what was done in the 80's

I got this film because I had heard some good reviews and Buffalo '66 had its moments. I had of course heard that there was a long fellatio scene in it but I hadnt really given that any thought. The film stars director/writer Vincent Gallo as Bud Clay a proffessional motorcycle racer in the low series that drives from a race in New Hampshire to the next one in LA. In LA he gets together with his former childhood love(Chloe Sevigny) with whom he shared a house in LA. Ive seen it now and it was pretty inane except for some really nice compositions in the phootage, it utlises the "a bit smart" film trick of laying pop songs over otherwise completely uninteresting stretch of film to make it seem like it has a deeper meaning. But in the end I feel like the only thing I got out of this film was the knowledge that driving on a US highway is exactly like driving on a swedish highway, boring. And then comes the fellatio between Gallo and Sevigny. I was a bit surprised that they actually did it for real, but it fits in with the films ultra-realistic/naturalistic style. Verdict: A film failed. It happens, usually they end up in a basement warehouse somewhere on the studio lots but I guess Gallo couldnt afford to not release it.

The Europvision Song contest is pretty low if that was its high watermark " and that I say as a bona fide swede.

Too bad you cant do anything cool with it because its so poisonous and the most commonly used isotopes are highly radioactive. My dads a chemical engineer and he had this huge catalouge where you could order chemicals, all kinds of chemicals. Anything from pure morphine to uranium and cesium.

Its no use to try and make sense of it, they made up things as they went with the classic trilogy. Its quite apparent that Anakin and Obi-Wan were supposed to be the same age, both hotshot pilots in the clone wars(which noone had any idea what it was supposed to be until the late ninties, Lucas included) and Obi-Wan tried to learn his friend about the force but he fell to the dark side. Its also apparent that all Jedi would have manifested as apparitions after their deaths, becomming part of the force in a kind of Buddhist way.

But that doesnt mean you want to hear it in 8 channel full digital THX sound. RotS would be very easy to do a fan edit of, its made so that scenes could be cut away without breaking anything. Imagine at the ending, Vader awakes. -Can you hear me lord vader -yes, my master.. *snip!* cut to star destroyer bridge scene and the cheese is gone.
