I forgot I made this, Anyways, I don't collect souls, if I did, i'd probably want them autographed. I've always felt much like speedyshel that the soul is a metaphysical manifestation of ourselves that goes to heaven or hell - that is sentient, with emotion, memories and feeling , However i've been exploring the paranormal, and have yet figured out how to figure out what a ghost may be in relation to the soul.

accuweather says NC is too far out of range.

Yep, and Mosquitoes are everywhere

Hell yeah, i'm in, I'll try to take some pics too

And now Saudi Arabia has issued a ban on the device, starting friday. India is possibly next. People can talk all the crap they want about American, Isreal, British or Canadian governments but i'd rather live in any of those four countries and deal with the problems they have and live the life an average citizen lives than deal with living in china, india, UAE or Iran/Saudi. ~Das

Will it be open to the Americans on the forums? :lol: It better be.

My friends, else i would of left this dead beat game ages ago.

Bored at work.

I rate a movie based on how well it entertained me, purely, I walk in mostly, expecting to be disappointed as i'd like to think i've seen some fantastic films in my life. Sci Fi and Fantasy is my main squeeze and I love campy movies like the last starfighter and even some questionable films like "Never Die Alone" and other "Stinkers". Quality is qualitative. Wolverine Orgins was absolute crap to me, because it bastardized the source material, , yet, it was still - to a degree, entertaining enough to buy on Blu. I suppose at the end of the day, it comes down to subjective taste - I found the action scenes in Inception wonderful. Granted i've seen better fights, better plots, it was well enough to be better than a large majority of the crap people put out and flock to see. What wlll people flock to that has a chance of being a Criterion or An arthouse classic? I think Inception stands a fair chance, especially if Armageddon, a film I found.. above average at bestl, made the cut - inceptions not far behind.

Hi, In the case of that thread, a user had an avatar hosted on a site that contained Malware. To Elaborate, in this case his avatar was from a website for a record company, albeit a small one that has either been hacked or changed their advertising to where the page and contents on them - are no longer secure. Often the hacker modifies things like Images (like free avatars, or images or the main page) to accomplish his goal. Due to the fact that users can host an avatar from anywhere - This can occasionally happen - and often accidentally. If this persists or becomes common - we may look into possibly restricting this feature as is - but as of now the general chances of this happening are farily low. The avatar has been moved, and the site has been added to our filter. ~Das.

I just can't fathom this statement., I guess it's what you call Michael Bay syndrom (Explosions, Explosions Explosions (robot chicken reference) For me CGI is a step down overall in movie making. Take a look at this. Here's a trilogy without CGI, And a trilogy with CGI, "Bigger" name cast with the same director with the same "vision". One set of movies is iconic, one set of movies is widely scorned. The question to me must be asked - Why do people in 2010 turn back to watch movies like Casablanca, The Hidden Fortress or The Shining? Simply because a good story, powerful acting and a perfect mix of the two creates a film that makes an impact on those who view it. If CGI is all you care about, will you watch Avatar in 30 years? or will it be to "painful" to watch, Must like people praised beast wars in 1995 (first 3D) Cartoon, in 2010, it's hard to watch even for die hards. Plot, Acting, these let movies stand the test of time. CGI, is a gimmick, and although it can cut cost, over the test of time many "great" movies in your for cgi I'd wager you'd have a hard time returning to decades later? Ever watched and enjoyed black and white film? Ever seen a C or D grade Horror flick and enjoy it? Theres a reason films like Citizen Kane never drop below $10 on sale, and "cgi" films that have impressive visuals and nothing else - Drop price quickly.

I still think avatar is nothing more than a glorified version of cowboys and Indians with a nice earthy story. No amount of CGI can make a decent film great.

I would give you a decent explanation into understanding the movies. Because if you don't think these movies are great, you probably do lack the intelligence to recognize their artistic value (let's not even talk about appreciate it). :) I'm going to tackle this. Inception is about as close as to arthouse as the average moviegoer will ever get. It's not going to compete with 8 1/2 or Yojimbo or Salo, it's not designed too. I'd like to think of myself as a film aficionado and i've seen much deeper and meaningful movies than inception, however it's not a bad movie. For starters, it's miles better than Avatar, a movie that I still don't get how the hell it got half as much as it did. I don't really think Inception is hard to grasp, a mentally retarded person could probably grasp most of it and walk away feeling satisfied. But it is for an action movie, not a mindless shoot em up (no pun intended) - it's a thoughtful movie with plot that is simplistic ,yet complicated depending on how you wish to view it. Inception is better than alot of shit thats pumped out, and in that regards, I can see why it's *must see*. I still think Following, is a better Nolan movie, I do think i'ts a must own for DVD collectors, and it is probably a film that most casual cinema fans could stomach a time or two. Not perfect, not Amazing, Not mind blowing, but a solid top movie that should be one of the top films of the year on almost everyones list.

I see, but where is it? Does it supplement the brain or coexist with it? if it defines you, does it undermine our free will to think and do what we wish? Does it carry on when you die?

I went into Inception hearing constant praise from people of different likes and dislikes (hard to avoid water cooler talk and FB feeds) and was stunned by the high critic ratings and some people saying it's the best movie "this decade". I went in with high expectations, but not watching a trailer at all or knowing much about it other then it's praise and I came away pleased, it's not the best movie this decade, and i'd give it a solid 8 easily, and I loved the fact the movie could mean lots of different things, but I can't critique any part of it. I didn't expect as much action, and figured it would be like Following. I did find amusing that the main character was named Cobb. It's an intellectual action movie, and I praise nolans use of his usual actors, they worked well here. Overall - Give me a 2-3 disc special edition blu-ray and i'll buy it release day, and I RARELY buy a film on release day Inception, not what I expected, but pleasing in every way. More intellectually provoking than a Mind****, but still very satisfying.

Ah, okay. Mystery solved then. What is this in Israel? it looks amazing and worth visiting, but I don't recognize the landmark at all.

Nothing, Just trying to create some interesting topics in OT that 1) interest me and 2) may make into some interesting intellectual threads.

Got this sexy 8x12 in Today.

Do we have one? does one exist? if it does, what is it? I want to see your views on what a soul is and if they exist, and bonus points if you debate people. ~Das

The supergirl is actually a model. Since she uses the same name as the buffy character, gave up on googling her, but thats a professional badge for industry pro's - not regular fans.

My Dad is a 40 year+ dedicated laker fan (his favorite player was Rambis) So as a kid, to be a smartass, I went for the "REAL" Team from LA. it's not a bad team this year. Gordon/Davis/Griffin/Hofford is a tough lineup, I guess Gomes will be the other starting forward? Foye off of the bench? Best lineup in years. Bledsoe might be great too. This kid healthy should be great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_zIAgFKdtg

Considering the Lakers signed Barnes today, Pauls probably not an option. The Hawks have a solid core. They didn't lose anyone, and Jordan Crawford is an excellent rookie. Josh Smith is an excellent player who brings alot to the table, Joe Johnson is great (albeit overpaid) and Hofford is beastly. I think they had a horrible beating in the playoffs sure, but they will be back and certainly won't lay down when they play the heat. The magic Lost Barnes, Added Duhon and Quintin Richardson. Barnes is good on defense sure, but Richardson can play guard or forward, has experience and in my view is an excellent replacement. Duhon is more of a back up to J Nelson, but is more of a floor general and an upgrade over Jason Williams/Johnson. In my view, they got better (clippers fan here)

Because I can back trace

i'd go for older dudes personally romy, Younger guys will probably give you more grief. Personally I gun for women my age or older except under rare exceptions.

It was Faye :thumbup: I happen to know who she is, removed due to her affiliation lol..? I had no idea who she was until a few minutes ago when I received an E-Mail from my older brother who sent me the picture explaining who she was, and it turns out that she's a porn-star. <_< Either way, she was very attractive. :thumbup: Nah, I think it was removed due to the fact her breasts were pretty much hanging out. Here she is clothed. I normally don't go for porn stars autographs, but shes one of the few I would.
