  1. Similar thing here. My girlfriend has now gotten into Lost and we're finishing off Season 3 at the moment. She's really hooked into it now and it's also good for me to watch everything again as I've now picked up on a lot more things on a second time through.
  2. It was so hot and humid in Sydney. I walked down to the beach at around 9am yesterday and after 1/2 an hour of walking along the beach and turning back to walk another 1/2 an hour back home, I was drenched in sweat. Stayed at home in the comfort of air conditioning. Just doing my part for Global Warming.
  3. That dance could become an internet phenomenom! I also liked the idea of some writers warped idea of reversing the people/fish idea of having people in a fish bowl while the fish are outside looking at the humans.
  4. No, never read them and they were never taught at my school when I was a kid. However, I did watch the 1954 Animal Farm cartoon (when I was a kid) on TV and the message I got from it at the time was, as long as you were able to get your way up to the top, you'll be better off than being one of the workers down at the bottom of the food chain. eg. Politican, Doctor, Manager/Boss, etc are better off than a Nurse, employee, etc.
  5. Maybe because we're not in the North Atlantic. It's better to have geographic alliances in a particular area than no alliance at all. Otherwise you will have countries fighting all over the world.
  6. The Road. Quite a slow paced movie but liked the post-apocolaptic look. Also, I liked how Man found the can of coca cola in the vending machine, reminded me of Fallout 3. The realism was quite good. Cannibalism by people ala Fallout. Also, no food anywhere they went unlike Fallout where there is food and medical surplies strewn around the wasteland.
  7. Generally are the Serbs Christian and Bosnians Muslim? And the Serbs tried to wipe out the Bosnians with the ethnic cleansing? Is that oversimplying it or am I just way off the mark.
  8. What about writing about Manga and how it's different in Japan compared to comics in western countries. In western countries, adults reading 'comics' are often ridiculed.
  9. Strange how one group of people (eg. Conservatives) always complain about other groups (eg. Liberals) not giving as much as they do to charities.
  10. Just came across a TV show called Archer and finished watching the first episode. This is a classic. Funny as ****. Top stuff!
  11. I'd like to see an uncut definitive version of Waterworld. The initial filmed script ran at over five hours. The original director's cut of the film was trimmed and submitted to the studio at a length of around three hours, however the theatrical cut was eventually released at 136 minutes. The ABC network did show a 177 minute Extended version but even this was heavily edited with language, violence, action and some nudity as it was being screened at a time when minors could see it. Maybe one day we'll see the full version.
  12. I was reading something about Ann Coulter (who I think is a fruitcake) but anyway, an article about Charity v. Socialism and I saw this statement "Research shows that Liberals tend to give less to charity than Conservatives. It's one thing to use other people's money to support what you believe to be a good cause. It's quite another to use your own money. The former is a form of socialism. The latter is charity." Funny, because unless charities ask if you are Liberal or Conservative, then how would they know if Liberals give less than Conservatives?
  13. Charity by Governments is just another form of socialism. You're redestributing the wealth of one country to another country that can't pull up their bootstraps.
  14. Taiwan man dies after seeing Avatar. I'd feel a bit cheated not knowing how the movie ends.
  15. ^ I agree. Monkey is a classic.
  16. watched Pandorum (2009) last night. What a mess of a movie this was. Some really good ideas that didn't mesh very well.
  17. watched Horsemen (2009). So much potential but in reality another serial killer type movie.
  18. I would have rather seen another actor in the role than Will Smith.
  19. It looks like the main villian Torquemada from Nemesis the Warlock published in the comic 2000AD.
  20. You've gotta love the Tron guy
  21. Clive Barker's Book of Blood. Thought it was interesting, creepy in a couple of places but overall just another horror movie to watch on a Saturday night.
  22. I think that is the crux of it. They found obsolete shells but no current production after the first gulf war.
  23. I suppose the CIA said so, huh?
  24. What evidence was there, that there was WMDs after the first Gulf War?
  25. I just hope that any aid given has a carbon footprint of zero and has been offset for the sake of the environment and the world. Climate change and all that stuff.
