So I finally went and saw King Kong last evening. I'm a huge fan of the 1933 original and have watched it adoringly many times. In addition, I am not a fan of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies at all. So I wasn't really looking forward to this remake when I first heard about it many moons...
Once again you sit up on your high horse and see what you want to see, Andykev. I was referring to the topic of THIS THREAD as a joke not that other one. To people with a sense of humor the outlandish post I made is funny. I can't believe I have to explain this. The other thread, the one that...
IT WAS A JOKE!! If folks don't like my point of view on things they are more than welcome to tell me off. I can take it. But I take issue when folks start to lecture.
Maybe one of these days you'll make it up from Vancouver and we can have a real discussion instead of this online crap. 'till...
I check in Monday and my thread is locked! This is great! I mean, I always seem to provoke some sort of controversy even when I don't try. Believe me, I've been involved and even been directly responsible for more than one thread being closed before. But to actually author a thread that gets...
If I came across as portraying Anakin as a victim that was not my intention. My whole emphasis was on his "choice." I whole heartedly believe that no matter what the circumstances the decision to do good or evil ultimately comes down to personal choice. That's not to say that experience and/or...
Four pages of rhetoric and so far only Mr. Bowers is the only one to even come close to examining these films on their own merit and asking why they are different. Eps I through III have always been centered around the upper echelon of the Republic. Jedi, senators, royalty, etc. All of whom are...
Yeah, I saw it Friday. Loved it! It is brilliantly composed. At first the design is distracting but after just a few minutes you're completely emersed in the film. And make no mistake, this is a violent and bloody film. No reputable characters what-so-ever. That doesn't keep me from appreciating...
I sport a brown Fedora and leather jacket almost everyday. Don't be ashamed of the "Indy" look fellas. It's classic working attire for the American working man.
Hello Gents,
I've recently acquired a new scarf. However, I'm embarassed to say that I'm not quite sure the best way to wear it. Draped around the neck under the jacket? Draped on the outside of the jacket under the collar? On top of the collar? Tied or untied? Is it okay to turn the collar...
You are correct. A candidate's concession speech is only a gracious formality and nothing more. It is not a binding contract, although I'm sure that could be argued in court. Theoretically the election results could change and the outcome turn in favor of the conceded candidate.
Anyone who...
America is about freedom. Freedom to vote or freedom not to vote. Even apathy is given a fair shake in our republic.
How free is an Aussie if he/she is forced by their government to vote?
What part of "majority" don't you understand? Even if a county swings one way by one single vote it is still a majority and therefore a fair win.
Which is exactly why the Electoral college is so vital and more important now than ever. Otherwise urbanites in all those cities you mentioned would...
Ah, a man that knows and appreciates good knives. My favorite edged tool of choice these days is the Lagana Tactical Tomahawk. Check'em out at the American Tomahawk Company.
Gentlemen, I tell ya, I've had regrets for three years that I didn't enlist after 9/11. My wife didn't sign up with me...
