Quoted For Truth. fancy way of saying: i agree with this statement.

downloaded undertow... meh. even for a free game, I don't like it. I really wish MS had just given everyone 800 pts to spend as we see fit instead of this POS.

I'll agree on the shoulders... but the second part.. meh. there's correlation but no evidence of causality. It's like going outside everyday and saying, "it's going to rain." One day you'll be right but you hardly made it rain.

why do people multi-box on WoW? Various reasons. Some people set up an alt just to stuff like enchant or sew or what not and use their main to feed the alt. Other people, using clever scripts, will make their alt a support class, like a priest and have them follow their main around, constantly healing, casting buffs or debuffing. Or vice versa.

yeah, I gotta agree with you... his death, while tragic, is really just the inevitable outcome for a type of lifestyle that so many people with wealth and influence seem to pursue.

lol, they're the same hands. they're just the right size now in comparison to the rest of the body.

yeah, I was just thinking how sad that even in death, some people can't get any peace.

tmz.com is refutting the mary-kate olsen connection and they're saying it WAS an accidental overdose. They're also saying Heath had a substance abuse problem.

yeah, that's what is being reported on cinematical.com.

??? it's coming out that the apartment belonged to mary-kate olsen... and that the police are saying it IS a suicide now. Such a sad turn.

ah, this sucks. I heard it on the radio and I had hoped it was wrong.

my guess is that River... err.. cameron, was specifically programmed to seduce/flirt with john to get his trust... beyond that she probably didn't have any other programming.

I dunno. I saw a matinee screening at my local theater (union landing) and the audience outright boo'd at the end. Personally, if you're going to see it, see it in the theater and before too many spoilers are released... uhm.. like this thread.

Well, I think the problem people have with bourne is that the audience and the director have two different ideas on what the movies are. It seems a lot of the audience thinks that the Bourne movies are just action flicks, but greengrass looks at bourne as political commentary... as a sort of anti-james bond in chracter but also in movie style. So greengrass pays far more attention to the emotional state of Jason bourne and much less on the action sequences (the car chases are done with a second unit).. hence why bourne supremecy ends with a down beat with jason confessing to the daughter instead of with the big car chase. Anyways, back to cloverfield... for me, the feeling of motion sickness was much greater in cloverfield than in bourne and the whole sequence where the camera is held diagonally for seemingly no reason annoyed me to no end.

count me as one of those people who play COD4 over halo 3. I just like it better... the 'run' ability, the weapon choices, the maps... they all seem superior to what is offered in halo 3, at least to me.

are you kidding? bourne supremecy has a MUCH more stable camera than this movie... and like cloverfield, the camera work is directly tied in to the emotional beat of what's happening in the scene. I keep reading people complaining that the camera bounces around even when bourne is having a 'nice calm conversation', but this is simply not true, when Jason is calm, the camera is calm and scene with jason and marie will illustrate this. When bourne is confused or taken by surprise, the camera is also confused. And then there's the shooting stle introduced from the first bourne movie... the camera man doesn't know who is going to do what and has to react to the scene (as per the director in the commentary). Anyways, the shaky cam is a necessary, it's the WHOLE CONCEIT of this movie. Where as michael bay uses shaky camera work like punctuation marks, this movie uses shaky camas part of the vocabulary.

In response to the posts questioning the motivations of the characters. Rob and Beth were best friends for most of their lives and secretly in love with each other for a long time. I'd hate to be the friend of some of you people who are saying he should have abandoned her and just taken off. Great pains were taken to show that Lily thought of Rob as family as her brother. She just saw her love die, it seems natural to me that in a situation like this, she would cling to the people she knew... rather than abandon them. Hud was rob's best friend. Should be self explanatory why he stayed. Marlena is a bit forced, but Rob and party are the only people she knew that were around. Everyone else around her was in the process of dying and she didn't seem like the strongest personality to begin with. So it kinda makes sense that she would rather stick with the few people she kinda knows and Lily whome she apparantly knew very well. As for the moral of the story? That was also explicitly spelled out in the movie. Make sure the ones you love know it. exchange between Rob and Lily (paraphrased): lily: When I think of some of the things I said to Jason.. rob: that's different, he knew that you loved him. And of course, at the end of the movie, we have Rob and Beth declaring their love for each other. Sorry to all those people who needed to have a scene where a teary eyed scientist and his hot female assistant stand near the monster during its death throes and comment on how people have lost touch with their humanity and have consequently sinned against 'nature' and how 'nature' has unleased this poor monster in primeval retaliation. Lack of backstory... what the hell, the first thrity minutes of the movie is nothing but backstory on the characters and their motivations. Backstory on the monster? What the hell, why would a party full of gen Y kids know something/anything about giant monster? Why would the military explain anything to these kids?

come on, the ending was a nice touch... i was all expecting john to save the girl... but then SPLAT.

meh. The only mode that looks good to me is battroid.

the different classes really help in the replay value.

they were well dressed because they went to a party. People tend to dress up for those things. And only Beth is shown to have come from any money. The apartment at the beginning of the movie doesn't seem upscale to me.. unless rundown stairs and walls covered with grafitti are common in the nicer apartment buildings in manhattan.

true... I finished 5 runs through ME at around 20-30 hours each and I'll do another run when the DLC comes out... on the other hand, the idea of replaying any FF game makes me want to quit playing games altogether.

why? The monster was such a closely guarded secret, why would they reveal it for a toyline?

besides, if 2 apaches and dozens of hellfires had no effect at all, what's the point of dozens of apaches and hundreds of hellfires? Besides, the carpet bombed the thing with no effect...

ooh, nice.. 70 pts of articulation.... craziness.
