The Matrix was the most scitzoid of all time..Every body thought it was the most wicked cool sci-fi movie of all time..But the ending sucked big time..
The most suck ending since Spiderman 10.. Oh wait...

That's pretty impressive. Me, I'm generating some Tuscan style slow-roasted pork spare-ribs right now (rosemary, paprika, chili-pepper, olive oil, salt, pepper, all-spice, thyme, coriander rub, set for a few hours, and now in the oven). Recipe called for sage, but I was fresh out...still smells good. And it's NOT CGI.

Food is good.

Seriously, this looks better than anything filmmakers like Lucas and Peter Jackson spend gadzillions on. Who needs ILM and Weta? Some geek in his mom's basement can make the next Hollywood blockbuster.

My boss from my stint in the philippines has been on the ground in haiti for over a week now. He and one his business partners flew in their together and coordinated a fantastic effort to get the orphanage children safe. A pic of him and his compatriot were on CNN with Soledad O'brien.

It seems they worked out visas for the children to get them to Florida and have been integral in the efforts to get a base camp in action. I applaud them. Just a couple of private citizens putting their resources together that they have been fortunate enough and worked damn hard to accumulate and put out there for a good cause.

"Big fires downtown tonight we are hauling butt thru the city i am not going to lie it's spooky :)"

I'm talking about after that Hope for Haiti program ended at 10 Eastern.

re: #179 windsagio

We don't have to per my previous suggestion. "Search" means many things. By the way, I get the extended version search when I fly in civilians...even when I'm on orders and am carrying a duffle bag. I am old, short, white, female. I guess it's random in my case.

Oh my!!
Look at the time...
...ah ..ok so what right!!
..Goodnight all !
I have to ice a lump on my head.!

Ok, had to call my son in to pull up the rest of the channels he had hidden from me. Ooooh. He's slick that one. Gets bored of the news so he makes it disappear! DirecTV is great. But keep your kids away from the remote.:-)

re: #190 Escaped Hillbilly

I probably just misunderstood you then > the thing I'm going against is that we have to 'feel up' everybody in line.

Some of these things I wonder what sets them off... If you're searched nearly every time, you're either the unluckiest person in the world, or they're picking up on something :p

re: #196 windsagio
Nah. I don't fly that often so 2 out of 2 is not that much. Usually I am in uniform when flying. My son got searched when he went to Disney World for his birthday. He was turning 18. I guess a single teenaged male claiming to be go to DisneyWorld did sound a little odd. He was NOT pleased. Said the guy was a little creepy when he did the groin. My nephew who met him in FL didn't get searched which annoyed my son even more.

re: #197 Escaped Hillbilly

Maybe he came across a perv. Happens.

re: #127 prairiefire

Well, I hear a lot of enthusiasm from men for women with large breasts.

Yeah, REAL large breasts. Not balloons.

re: #28 Killgore Trout

I saw wind turbines so it's obviously left wing atheist propaganda.

They seemed to be turning in the wrong direction. Guess I'd make a lousy art critic.

Very pretty. But...boring. Instead of putting together a 12-minute snoozefest of effects - and a limited range of effects overall, for that matter - how about using those crazy skills to actually tell a story?

Pixar produces fairly high-end CGI features, but they could be done with crayons and still be just as successful, because they feature characters and stories that the audience actually cares about.

re: #63 Killgore Trout

I can't watch TV anymore. The programing is mediocre at best and I just can't sit through commercials like that anymore.

Commercials are my favorite part. You can get some great after-effects ideas. My wife gets crappy but I'll sit and rewind the same commercial effect over and over trying to figure out how they did it.

This video is highly reminiscent of an amazing film: GATTACA

Color me amazed, awed and thunderstruck.
