? You can also get meat substitutes that look like meat. I've noticed a lot of chinese shops here in Sydney sell it. Looks and tastes like meat but it isn't. http://vegetariancuisine.suite101.com/arti...for_vegetarians

I was waiting for a torpedo to be fired and kill them all.

There doesn't appear to be enough meat in these episodes to sink your teeth into and there are more questions being asked than answers given. It appears most of the answers are going to be crammed into the finale at the rate we're going.

The Lovely Bones.

I noticed you pick Black Hawk Down but conveniently didn't mention Saving Private Ryan. And I never suggested The Hurt Locker should be like Black Hawk Down. I was talking about War movies in general. There are better war movies than The Hurt Locker. And Saving Private Ryan is about Private Ryan from when we see him at the start of the movie, throughout the movie and at the end of the movie. We find out about himself and his brothers, why he can't remember them and Tom Hanks says he has to think of a context, then he remembers. We find about Private Ryan as a person as well as a soldier and the complexities of his character as well as his guilt. And he asks the questions to his wife at the end of the movie "Tell me I have led a good life", "Tell me I'm a good man". Saving Private Ryan was a great movie, good pace, good story, good characters, etc. If you want a good war movie pick up anything other than The Hurt Locker. If you want a boring, slow, tedious, nonsensical war movie go see The Hurt Locker. Responses from veterans have been: "distracted by the nonsensical sequences and plot twists that it will ruin the movie for you", "Some of the scenes are so disconnected with reality to be almost parody", "just about everything wasn

Actually, Avatar won Best Picture and Best Director at the Golden Globes. http://www.getthebigpicture.net/blog/2010/...den-globes.html Also, it's interesting how much the Golden Globes and Oscars mirror each other with the wins.

I think you can do it for the money and not necessarily be a hack. Jean-Pierre Jeunet did Alien Resurrection and I'm sure he was doing it for the art and not the money. Although that's debatable. I can imagine him saying: Bonjour. Je m'appelle Jean-Pierre, I am an arteeest. Au revoir.

The Academy was so fearful of a Sci-Fi Action film winning, they voted for a movie in spite of a movie. It wouldnt make sense shooting down Avatar with a Tarantino flick as that is just replacing one renegade with another. So they settled for the "serious" film. It was also in their interest to make history with the first woman to win as best director and best movie. Whatever. The Hurt Locker took me two sittings to finally get through to the end of this movie. Tried to watch it once before but after

The Hurt Locker. Tried to watch it once before but after 1/2 an hour I turned it off from boredom. This time, watched it with my girlfriend and her niece and managed to get through to the end. Was a struggle and we all agreed it was long, boring, tedious. It was to show the girlfriend that even boring movies can win an Oscar.

HBO will proceed with GRRM's Ice & Fire Series
Hiro Protagonist replied to Guard Dog's topic in Way Off-Topic
Never heard of this series but according to wikipedia it's a fantasy based series. Great stuff as long as it's done right. Just skimmed over the wikipedia article and noticed both an RTS and an RPG game are currently in development. Sounds like there's a few companies getting behind this series. Hope the TV series will be good. -
This is how I see the story. - Apple outsource their work to factories - These factories use 15yo's to make parts - Apple performs a voluntary audit of their factories - Apple discovers illegal child labour, corrects the problem - Apple publishes their audit on their website, for everybody to see - Media fabricates a sensationalist story because it will sell papers - End result: other companies will think twice before doing voluntary audits BTW, I'm not an apple fanboy. I just dislike the spin in the media.

Apparently, they need to be 18 in China, we can conveniently ignore our own child labour so we can bash any large corporation that outsources in other countries that may be profitable.

I wonder if my iPhone was made by a kid? If so... damn fine work!

At least they're not five years old with the kids working in India for all our athletes to compete in the Commonwealth Games. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/...d-and-milk.html http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2...15875-22011913/

This is terrible. I mean Western countries would never use 15 year olds to work. Goes to McDonalds, KFC, K-Mart, etc...
-
Yeah, I think I might like it on repeat viewings now that I've had time to digest it. Watched Ninja Assassin today. Great movie. Surprised to see J. Michael Straczynski co-wrote the screenplay.
-
I agree. I like Crazy Claire. And it was creepy how she said to Jin... "That's not John, that's...my friend" with a big smile on her face. And the way she killed that guy. Great Stuff. Also, did you pick up on Jack's appendix scar in the flash sideways? He got that on the island in Season 4 when Juliet took it out.

It's interesting to see possibly Kate as a candidate. Although not one of the original six numbers. Lostpedia has all the candidates listed. http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Candidates

Maybe not a weapon, but a stick of celery could look graceful on a person like Doctor Who.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Finally got around to seeing this and.. what a slow boring movie. Totally different to the previous five movies.
-
Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopuss. Saw the on Youtube and just had to see how ridiculous this movie was.

Obviously he didn't pay his taxes.

That's no moon. It's a space station.

It was another slooowww episode with some answers coming in the last 5 minutes. And no claire? WTF? They just leave last weeks episode hanging there and no continuation in this weeks episode of what happened to her. My theory is that Smokey wants to get off the island and needs someone to take him off and Jacob is keeping Smokey on the island by recruiting people to either a) replace him if he dies and b) for his (Jacobs) recruits from letting Smokey recruit anyone else to take him off the island. *shrugs* I don't really know.

Can this be considered as animal torture?

I'm the owner of two cats as well and if you really need to wash your cats (eg. if they have fleas), there are easier ways to do this than to put them in something like that. I've washed cats in the past and it's easier to hold them, put them in a laundry sink and let luke warm water run over them while applying flea shampoo to them. Rinse the shampoo off, have a towel ready and wrap them up to get any excess water off and then let them sit next to a heater. After about half an hour, they seem to be okay. With these machines, I don't see any benefit why you would put a cat in one of them.
