Kingdom of Heaven
Ya its not a LOTR clone, not wizards or orc and such, but is a bunch of swordplay and that sort of thing. Basically its pretty standard. sandwich hamfisted dialogue between epic speeches(can't forget mobs shouting), throw in a betrayal or two, have your hero show his human side with a little doubt, then go apesh1t at the end, move the camera around alot during the battle scenes(like a 7yr. old with ADD has just drank 10 cokes and is operating the camera), show some heads flying off. The fat masses will bring their fat dollars.

Kingdom of Heaven
Well, I went with my film class, and pretty much everyone agreed that this was the standard Epic Tale movie Hollywood has been churning out lately. A hero with a message that we should put into use today. Its the curse of the success LOTR enjoyed. Its like after Braveheart, what was it a year or two before Gladiator came out, falling on the exact same line. First step get reasonable good reviews form critics who the last bad review was probaly Catwoman. Next step for the push to the Oscars to ensure a huge profit.

Misty Eyed Movie Moments
I cried when Hulk Hogan's character the Ripper beat up Zeus in No Holds Barred movie to save his daughter or sister or house or whatever. The way he ripped his shirt off and looked at the camera with those blood shot eyes and said,"Remember to take your vitamins, and pray, and stay off drugs" still makes me cry

Ah yes, now the great circle is complete. The Pot that called the Kettle black has been exposed for the idiot that he is, by the one called Talk About The Pot Calling The Kettle Black. I'm sure theres a lesson in there that we all can see, obviously the leet one has already seen the light of truth :Baley sux

Which nerds are the most tragic?
Ya, that line has caused me to cringe, all of the 4000 times I've seen it lately. As an avid fan of her "qualities" up till now I really want to blame George Lucas for this, but time will tell.

Smart people don't believe in god...
Well, there is George W. Bush and Gerald Ford in case you need more obvious proof. I mean its pretty much been established that there are two schools of political thought in the U.S. that are dominant, The Educated Left and the Religious Right. Unfortantly TV has given one side a decisive advantage.

Why think KotORII sucked?
I think I can agree with that As for this supposive depth that Kotor 2 had, it just doesn't exist, its just as easily transparent as the first game. The so called ambigiousness of your choices would only be so if you played your dialogue options with your eyes closed

I would say that banning organised religion is counter to the right to peaceful assembly and association set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I do understand what you're saying, and I am far from happy that there are people who accept dogma in this way. However, it is ultimately their choice to accept dogma, and they are free to leave, at least if they live in a liberal democracy. It's not easy even there, and I know that people who have turned their backs on the faith they were born into can have very negative experiences, but it does happen. At least, provided there is a separation between Church law and state law. There are places in the world where leaving your church is not a viable option, but this is better solved through education and development rather than banning organised religion. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think it could work actually. In a lot of European countries they have laws against hate groups organizing, and spreading hate literature. Surely the biblical stance on homosexual and their union can be interpreted as such. In most western religious text you can find so sort of "hate" message. I think actually we should just kill them all and let their Norse Gods sort them out

Well I'm more concerned about what will happen to the Republic if all the Jedi are killed in the Clone Wars. Theres been talk that Emperor Palpatine might dissolve the Senate and give power to the regional Governors. I don't know things seem pretty bleak, if only there was some sort of New Hope.

Was Revan the ultimate Sith Lord?

Kotor2
Well there's your problem right there, The Exile is a female. We know this because of the way you defeat Sion. You see The Exile simply immasculates Sion with her constant nagging until he wants to die. Only women holds this sort of power.

What music are you listening to right now?
I've been kind of trying to get a hold on this band Bloc Party. I guess you would call them Postpunk if you're a big genre person They're British which most of the time an immediate strike against, but I was willing to let it slide this time. Anyway they're sort of an enigma to me. They have this one song Banquet, really great sort of powerpop with dancebeat overtones, then they turnaround and do this sortof Surf rock/ hip hop combo that really is super annoying.

Education Problems
Ya well its about time that you plant that mechanic virus ---Jesus Saves, Gretsky Scores Another reason why their is little want by the government to reform education is that it would effect recruiting by the military. The U.S. military does most of its recruiting in poorer school districts, where because of their inferior educations the people are left with fewer opportunities. If everyone was on "equal ground" then there would most likely be less opportunity to take advantage of peoples economic "shortcomings" to feed the U.S. expansionary policies. Those being the policies formed by the rich

Which nerds are the most tragic?
When you say pron do you mean you say the animated humanoid animal stuff or are you talking about the two people wearing costumes like on trigger happy TV, with holes cut out humping each other?

Which nerds are the most tragic?
Well, did you want to dress up in a full body fursuit and pretend to be a cat while making love to her? If so, then yes, you are a furry. Otherwise, lose 1d3 Sanity points for the mental image. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember seeing something on that on television once. They followed a guy who went to a convention for that, for the first time, really really weird
