  1. Ah yes, I don't really pay attention anymore.
  2. Then just say that. But Rambo is not a generic work. It's much better than the second and third movies.
  3. I didn't do much this weekend. I just sat around. I don't even remember what I did.
  4. news.google.com, shacknews.com, nytimes.com
  5. I practiced some Team Fortress 2 with my team. Fun times. This weekend has been completely unproductive. I love it.
  6. Rock Band only if you have real friends to play with.
  7. She has apologized after internet people trashed her book's rating on Amazon.
  8. Whether or not a movie is a cash-in depends on the quality of the movie and how it compares to the earlier movies in the series, not the actors' age. So what if these are old actors reviving old characters and series? These are beloved characters and I guess when you're part of something like that you want to do more of it. I don't know if you're implying that Ford is financing Indy 4, but he is not. He doesn't have to. The movie has the backing of George Lucas and Spielburg so if any studio wasn't willing to fund it (they did since Indy is a great series so they have a good feeling it will be successful) they probably could have picked up the tab. So yeah, see the movie before you dismiss it as a cash-in. Video game movies are cash-ins. Movies based on TV cartoons and toys are cash-ins. It's not a cash in. How does it look like a cash in? since no one is going to read the damn book, i´ll tell you why, rambo dies so there shouldnt be a part 2,3, etc, The book was on the action genre but also treated some themes in depth, it is the story of a guy who comes back from war and everyone treats him as scum when he whent to war for his country, trained to be a killing machine and once back in society he cannot adapt himself to that way of life as the only thing he learnt is to kill, wandering all around the country and being kicked out of each single town, till that last time when he decides he will no longer lower his head and accept what others impose to him some little information here, not too much anyway.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Blood_(novel) Well that's irrelevant in this discussion since the second and third movies were made so there is nothing that can be done. Film is a separate medium so it should be treated as such. It does not have to follow books exactly.
  9. Anyone who sees this movie should be killed. It's just that simple.
  10. I don't know, maybe go to the task manager and set the affinity for the game you're trying to run to just one core.
  11. It's not a cash in. How does it look like a cash in?
  12. Good to see things are going well. Take care! Be sure to come back and tell us of your moving and new life (well it's not a totally new life but still) adventures. Good luck!
  13. That's because critics are for the most part useless. But most regular people are useless too so the only opinions that matter are those of people with whom you share similar tastes.
  14. Yeah, I saw it just a few hours ago. It wasn't packed at all. Less than 20 people total were there. But it was also a 12:35 show so most people go in the evening.
  15. Don't worry, you're the winner of the First Annual Gryph's Award for Member of the Year in Achieving Troll Status in the Funniest and Most Subversive Manner. Congrats to all the winners.
  16. That's some good looking stuff. Nice work.
