Meh

Yeah but some of those Jet Li movies are pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW34yJXbcf4...feature=related

Stuck in the seventies now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNw1ZPzqP9Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O80b002XT0 This is what youtube was made for. Enough babies and puppies and people hurting themselves already.

Abbey Road. It's making me nostalgic.

Another one is in MTW (again) where you can build a fort over a valuable commodity (i.e. silk or sugar) and fill the place up with merchants, all of whom will turnover the 600 florins+ value per turn. Lol, I never noticed that. Another thing is how one priest, emissary, whatever can cut off an entire army trying to reach a settlement under siege if the passage is only one tile wide, because one tile can only hold one entity at a time.

I can see how not falling asleep would be a problem.

Fell asleep during the last episode. I think the problem is that I'm not 15 anymore.

The musketfire comes and go goes and half the battles end in crashes. Not to mention massive lag on the campaign map once you have a lot of regions and a lot of trade routes. Every time you click on your capital or on any ships in the same theater there is a 4 second lag. They said they fixed the boarding bug that would cause a crash, and I just had to reboot because my computer froze when I ordered a ship to board. I'm going to shelf this for the time being.

Either way you can't go completely wrong with triad Kung-Fu ladyboys. Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvqtBPzMeM8...=response_watch

Chocolate, it's like a Thai version of Karate Kid, pretty good although a bit slow in some places. Lots of homage to Ong Bak, which is fine I guess, although Chocolate is a better movie. Ong Bak 1 and 2 are absolutely horrid with the exception of the fights, which are absolutely brilliant. This has ok martial arts and better acting.

I recommend trying out the hardest campaign difficulty and playing a mainland nation. I'm playing as France and had no choice but to invade England after they declared war and blocked the channel, it's been 10 or so turns back and forth with every battle mattering. I now hold Scotland and the British navy has been sufficiently reduced to allow reinforcements and trade income some turns as well. Two of the minor nations around Italy have taken advantage and are on the attack, only one stack left to hold them off in Italy, if I lost it they are going to raid all my buildings in France and I'll go bankrupt.

Unless what happens in past island doesn't affect what happens in future island. Parallel planes and whatnot.

They aren't engaged in a resistance movement, they are engaged in a civil war with the other half of Ireland to determine whether or not they are going to resist.

Taken is a pretty straight forward action flick, He basically 'Jack Bauer's the hell out of the slavers who stole his daughter. Would have been better with a more realistic approach, but then so would 24.

The soundmixing somehow got worse. It's like a couple of channels are missing. Don't think the musket sounds were that good to begin with, also I was trying out the Austrians and after the patch I lost the ability to recruit Grenziers, which are like the creme de la creme of light infantry. This game has a lot of promise, but I think it would have been better if they had limited it more. Or separated the theaters like they did in their last release. One unique campaign for crusades, one for Americas, one for the Teutons, etc. Still annoying is the lag on fleet movement. Just clicking on one of my ports instigates a 4-5 second pause sometimes.

Yeah it's one of my Favorites. Tossup between that and Sen to Chihiro no Kamukakushi

I think the term is spoofing, not masking. Anyway it involves a small app, can't remember the name, that fools websites into thinking you are from wherever instead of Denmark.

You could get around that by masking your IP. Generally, downloading TV shows off the internet is not something I feel the least bit guilty about. It's miles apart from pirating games or applications.

Howl no ugoku shiro, Howl's Moving Castle. Classical Japanese animation, not anime. Very charming. I can recommend.

Yeah, I think they seriously overrated the back story's use for a whole movie. The others are pretty good.

In Denmark you can apply for favorable startup loans and tax benefits, unfortunately most of us feel too comfortable being salary slaves. Up to about a decade ago the government would even write you a check to get your business going. No money for those kinds of shenanigans in today's economy.

Shat. ****. Interesting, you can overcome the filter with grammar. Incidentally you should worry about what this place is doing to your language. Yes I'm looking at you Walsh. Little stars do not belong in written language. Losing my father to cancer was a really rough time for me, keep your chin up.

Better colour representation as well as contrast. LCD's can't match their lower ranges (blackness levels) I've got one too, the damn thing refuses to break so I can get a flatscreen.

I slept right through my alarm clock and missed a meeting with a professor at uni which took ages to set up. I'm going to be angry at the world for the rest of today at least. Why does one always think it's possible to close one's eyes 'just for a few minutes' when dead tired.

I think the litmus test is whether a film works on it's own premise. Whether it 'closes in on itself' to form something unique and uncompromising. If that makes any sense. Sci Fi movies almost automatically look dated a decade after their release simply because expectations and technology changes. Blade runner gets around that by its superb cinematography. It's a beautiful film. It's not fantastic acting by everyone all the time that does it, it's this inexplicable something I tried to characterize above which is also what constitutes a great work of art. And of course the movie should never be compared with the book, I mean of course that is going to happen, but it is in my view a fundamental mistake to regard the generic movie and book as anything other than distant relations touching on some of the same themes. This is also why I can stand watching LoTR for instance. A movie can't possibly compete with what notions you create in your own mind as you read the book.
