I'd feel like a complete idiot if I did volunteer labor for that building and then heard the news of them flipping it for $81 million. We need a tee shirt that says, "I did volunteer work on a building that was sold for $81 million and all I got was an advance copy of the new 15 page Watchtower."

I was at Popeyes chicken tonite, yeah I'd say the human race was a mistake. I feel the same way after being an attendant at Circuit Assemblies and District Conventions too. Shopping malls too. Sarah Palin interviews. Yeah, the human race just might have been a boo-boo.

'Prometheus' and the 'Alien' films I've seen
by sd-7 ini just started getting interested in the 'alien' series.
i'm thinking it's giving me nightmares, except that no aliens are trying to eat me or anything, it's just a general fear thing.
like last night i dreamed somebody broke into my home and i lifted my comfort eye mask to find a gun pointed right at my face.

I was very disappointed in Prometheus, went opening night after being excited about it for the year or so prior when I found out Scott was going to go back to the series. I'll say the special effects, the scenery, etc., were amazing and topped anything I've ever seen including that of Avatar, Star Wars, etc.. It had a certain retro look about it and from what I hear was directly influenced by an older sci-fi film that I can't recall at the moment.
The character developement was bad to the point it was criminal in nature. I haven't purchased the DVD with the extras because a Prometheus forum had a link that showed all the extra clips in one AVI file. The extra footage does make the characters' decisions slightly more understandable, although not entirely. The thing I loved about Alien, was you felt like ALL of the crew members were competent and experienced. With Prometheus you get the feeling that everyone on the ship is a retard, with the sole exception of course being, David. Oh and Vickers too, until the end when the disease known as mental retardation affected her too.
The other thing I hated was how they forced a superheroine in Shaw. I'll be honest with you, when it comes to heroines I'm usually not impressed, but Ripley's character in the first film made you believe you could follow her anywhere and survive. Even with the sequel which I thought made her a little over the top, she still comes off to me as believable. The writers in Prometheus tried way too hard to see Shaw as the next Ripley. Even to the point that the contrast between her and Vickers was unnecessary.
Check this out, WARNING SPOILERS
Vickers- cold, calculating, highly intelligent, takes after her daddy Weyland, has an agenda, possibly an android, wakes up from hypersleep and is sweating while doing pushups(very hot btw)
Shaw- hopelessly idealistic, naive, physically weak even more so after giving herself a C-section and being high on futuristic painkillers. She's basically a Jehovah's Witness.
Which one of these two women would you put your money on to survive had you not already been aware that Noomi Rapace signed on for at least two films? Exactly!! Yet Vickers is the one running out of steam, struggling to survive and without enough fuggin common sense to know you shouldn't run away in the direct path of a rolling ship. Meanwhile Shaw was running, jumping, climbing, rolled away from the ship, fought off one of the engineers, etc... That entire segment of the film was a GTFOH moment on steroids.
Then you had the two retards Fifield and the other one's who's name isn't worth remembering. Just massive stupidity on levels of teenagers who got killed throughout the Friday the 13th series. We're talking people so stupid they deserved to die.
The only thing I'll say to be fair, is that the film was ambitious but unfortunately a little over 2 hours is the most the studio will greenlight for theaters. One last thing that irritated me was the whole impregnation and C-section. It was obviously a blatant attempt to provide the audience with something on par with the chestburster scene in Alien. Scott tried way too hard.

New James Bond Film: Skyfall
by leavingwt ini had an opportunity to see skyfall in the theater yesterday.
it's almost as good as casino royale, with some parts of it being even better.
the opening sequence was a real thrill, one of the best.

Tim touched on something I read somewhere, something about James making certain decisions, certain rationalizations if you will that are not typical of the Bond we've known throughout the years.

My brother told me it was the movie of the year, but he says that after seeing every blockbuster action film. A coworker who is a geek's geek, proclaimed the same but said he needs to watch the Dark Knight one more time before saying with certainty that Skyfall is the one. I am curious about Javier's character as he's a damn good actor. I heard he's gay in this one.

Yeah, I resent not being allowed to play sports too. Would have made for great memories. A few people I went to school with and hung out with played in the NFL. The WT seems to enjoy taking the joy out of young people's lives. Its like they sit in a boardroom meeting thinking of ways to make life miserable for a kid.

After Moses died or writers influenced by him died or their popularity waned, another writer decided to take the story another direction. Look at it like this, Moses wrote Jaws, Elihu wrote Jaws II, etc..

So I'll probably get a new phone later this week, possibly tomorrow.
You ever break shit out of anger? If so, whats the most expensive item you obliterated out of angst filled immaturity?
