I did! It's apparently some liquid. Everyone was saying ew though, so I guess I'm just the only one who doesn't know what it is.

It's a little container. You use it to pour a saline solution into your nasal passages to clear your sinuses of mucus. Part of the sentence was hyperlinked.

[Prince Of Fire]

Dear Marc and Demetri,

[Chum]

My finals start this week, i do not want to take my diff eq final. I don't know like any of the material lol. We only have 3 tests and a final so all i did was study alot the night before the tests so I don't know anything >.>

 

[Aesir]

Lol noone in that clip was white.

Really? I hadn't noticed.

 

[Pakman]

Lol noone in that clip was white.

The news anchor was white.

 

[SPAWN]

**** it Pakman, you got me.

@Aiser, I had to make it more than 10 characters. I wanted to just say "Lol."

I made the mistake of watching Elfen Lied over the weekend, first anime I'd watched since Gurren Lagann like 4 months ago. It's probable the most disgusting show I've seen. I give them credit for having all these unique ways of tearing people to pieces and the story had some good moments, but overall I felt it was dumb and I didn't care for it. Plus the ending had some annoying contrivances, but I won't get into that. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone really, unless you're interested in watching a VERY explicit show in just about every regard. There's torture, gore, nudity, pedophilia, animal brutality, and a lot of disturbing things involving children. If you want all that at the expense of a good story, then go riiiight ahead and see it. You might regret it though lol

V for Vendetta was a much worse movie after reading the book. I watched it again last night after finishing the graphic novel and I have to say that knowing the book and hating every single one of the changes they made to the story really made it much less enjoyable than I remember the first viewing being.

 

[noodles]

Digital Mayhem is only charging a 5$ venue fee. get at them. my next tournament (which will probably be 1 or 2 months from now) is gonna have melee singles as a side event. we might have to run it amongst our selfs though.

That's ashame. I really like V for Vendetta. When I like a movie like that I know reading the book is going to ruin the movie.

However, as an exception to this rule, Fight Club was a very good interpretation of the book in my opinion.

 

[Mogwai]

basically, I think they bent over backwards to get Natalie Portman to play Evey and so many of the changes really didn't work. And the last quote in the movie just made me want to throw up in the context of knowing Moore's original story.

 

[Zombie Lucille Ball]

QFT, mars volta is pretty meh, atdi is an incredible band. vaya is a bomb album

yeah

Anime Boston approaches.

guess I should maybe go

maybe

However, as an exception to this rule, Fight Club was a very good interpretation of the book in my opinion.

Yes. And I like the ending to the movie better, too.

 

[_V_]

I read the graphic novel first and liked the movie better haha. I thought they did a great job!

@the Netipot thing, my sister has used one for years and says it is the greatest remedy for allergies she has ever used.

 

[EC_Joey]

guess I should maybe go

maybe

You'd better.

Maybe even bring Mrs. Beard along?

 

[KevinM]

Haha you're hot.

 

[Mogwai]

gah, what!?!?!?

Spoiler

I'm sorry, but seriously, Evey in the book works so much better. In the movie, she is unrealistically pure and neither does nor thinks of doing anything to give her any depth. There is no struggle for her to do the right thing, she just always does it.

And the whole romantic subtext in the movie is ridiculous and takes away the actual point that V is the idea, not the man. And while I can totally get behind reducing the roles of side characters in the interest of doing the main story justice, I just felt that they cut the side stories from the novel in the interest of developing the bull**** romance which could have been omitted in the interest of actually developing Evey outside of the context of falling for V.

Spoiler

See I never thought she actually fell in love with him in the movie...and I found the making her a bit more pure, haha, then what is portrayed in the novel to not take away from the story or the point at all. How I saw their relationship in the movie was pretty similar to how I saw it in the book. Yeah, they try to play up a love story, but they had to to make the movie universal. The love, however, I never saw it as Evey falling in love with V, but more so understanding that he was an idea and being in love with that. I really liked Evey's character in the movie and thought it was the acting that gave life to her character rather than needless side-plots, back-story, and stuff...

BUT, I did read the novel first, so I can't claim to think that that did not affect how I saw the movie. I knew everything before I sat down, so i could just enjoy it I guess!

 

[Mogwai]

Spoiler

She ****ing kisses him and the first quote in the movie closes with: "but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man... A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget." I also believe this is the last quote, but the final cut of the movie appears different from the scripts I can find online which makes it impossible for me to verify.

*shrugs* I really can't get over how they have changed that character. I feel it warped the story in a way that it shouldn't have been warped.

 

[_V_]

lmao, oh **** you're right. I forgot about that quote...lamesauce

Well I am going to pretend that quote does not happen, so I can continue living in my happy world

 

[Zombie Lucille Ball]

lol no. not her scene at all.

I might go just on sat to take pictures and shop but I haven't pre-regged yet and I stood in line for 10 hours last year..............

I watched this recently as well and liked it a lot. I guess it just takes an awful amount of s brutality to shock me at this point because i didn't find it all too revolting.

 

[pockyD]

why are you doing spoiler tags on a movie that's like 4 years old

it's not even a twist that you're talking about, like bruce willis is a ghost or darth vader is luke's father; it's some abstract themes that you may or may not interpret

as for a movie totally killing the ending of the source material, how about "i am legend"? the book ending was amazingly neat, but the stupid movie ending just closed like a typical zombie movie

 

[Mogwai]

yea, i remember you telling me about I Am Legend, the book, and I totally agree that that's way way cooler than the movie. I think the movie was really garbs after he killed his dog .

As for spoiler tags I mostly just put them there to spare people who may love the movie and not care to know what the graphic novel had to say about it or people who intended to read the novel but hadn't. I guess in retrospect, it probably didn't matter to put them though .

 

[thumbswayup]

The I Am Legend audiobook is spectacular (pure chance that I randomly listened to it) and from it I can tell that the book is much better than the movie, and I liked the movie quite a bit.

i was expecting some clever joke or reference but instead i got some deep analytical insight

which i wasn't interested in at all!

 

[Mogwai]

ok, fine, since you're calling my cover up...

I put the spoiler tags in because I consider

Spoiler

Evey's completely different character traits

more shocking and spoiler-tag-worthy than the fact that Kevin Spacey is Kaiser Sosei.

 

[pockyD]

i meant within the tags originally, not in your explanation

oh well that's enough of this 'subject'

zelda IS sheik

melee spoiled OoT

 

[thumbswayup]

The ending was the only good part of The Usual Suspects.

LMAO this is true

I thoroughly enjoyed TUS.

I found the majority of it boring and long winded. The stories just went on and on and on. The ending made it worth it though. I think that ending is perfectly filmed and absolutely creepy and badass at the same time. **** I think I'll go home and watch the last 5 minutes again.

 

[Pakman]

Die Hard is my favorite Christmas movie.

 

[Prince Of Fire]

Die Hard is my favorite Christmas movie.

I hope that is a joke?

Jingle All The Way
Christmas Vacation
A Christmas Story

and although I made get a comment after this one and i know its a very generic choice, its a wonderful life is pretty epic.

and umm Batman Returns.

yeah and V for Vendetta was a great movie but extremely over hyped.

 

[EC_Joey]

Love Actually.

No hom-

Who am I kidding? This makes me a huge homosexual.
