So three kisses. Did she initiate any of them? Even though the first one at the movie was awkward, doesn't sound like she minded it, and she allowed two more kisses to follow. Doesn't sound like you have a lot to worry about.
However, her art more or less scares the living shit out of me. :)
LOL. I like how you link to all your threads in your sig.
Yeah, maybe if they hadn't been relieved to see the face of someone who has been a well trusted adult in their lives and put their guard down right before he hacked off their little heads, they might have been able to over power him. More than likely he would have just flung them across the room with a swift force push then hacked em to pieces while they struggled to get up and figure out what they hell was going on. Have I ever mentioned what a sick movie I feel ROTS is?

Asteroid-Man said:I can't believe you asked "you wanna be my girlfriend?" You don't ask, after a few dates it just kind of happens.
Yeah, this sort of question is usually abandoned by the time someone reaches the end of high school. Typically you just let things progress, then if for some reason you still really need clarification you can have the "so where are we at in our relationship" conversation sometime further into the relationship when your communication has evolved beyond the 'Did I say the wrong thing?' 'Did I scare her away?' 'Does she still like me?' 'Should I call her or wait for her to call me?' phase.
You said the two of you kissed? How did that go? If she was going to have a negative reaction to that, it would have been immediate (or at least I'd think it would have been). If she let you kiss her, I can't imagine her being scared away by you asking her if she wanted to be your girl friend. But seriously, when you are to the point of touching lips, you're usually beyond the point of asking if she likes you or not. Unless she just wants to have a good time with you without really being in a complex relationship, which, if that is the case, is something I would highly recommend you grab hold of and fly with.
bkev said:ferris209 said:C3PX touched this point as well, LISTEN! I cannot stress enough that you should listen to everything she says. Use the information you garner from her to make your next date together better for her.
Wait, time out. C3PX is a she? For some reason, I always get this mixed up - first I thought she was a she, and then I didn't... and now I guess I was right the first time. Sorry ^_^;
I am very much a HE, in every way imaginable. You seem to be skipping posts. Ferris said that C3PX (the very masculine me) touched on the point of the importance of listening to her (as in Sean's date, who is a she) and the things she says she likes.
I seem to remember you thinking I was a she at some other point as well, and I think the last time was shortly after I made the hot.like.C3PX thread, where I claimed to be an overweight, female, swim suite model (all of which was in jest, and none of it even remotely resembling the truth, as I am neither overweight, female, or a swim suite model). So your confusion regarding my gender very likely began with myself, so I shall forgive you this once. But only this once. Next time there will be repercussions. ;)
Ferris, I'll be looking forward to that beer, pal.

I think that title belongs to me anyway ;)
Nah, Ferris and I like you at the very least, and you don't post outside of off topic enough to ruffle that many feathers.
Wow, so Pete, Lex, and Lana are all gone. Take out Martha and Jonathan (and I assume he has had his obligatory fatal heart attack by now), and the only original characters left are Clark and Chloe.
I have always thought of Smallville as the WB/CW/typical teenybopper teen drama channel bastardization of a comic book character. But I am surprised at how many serious comic book fans seem to like it. Guess it can't be all that bad.
The bits of season one and two I have seen came off to me as a bit of a Buffy knockoff. But I heard they've dropped the Buffyesque monster of the week theme they had going in the beginning.
lordjedi said:He goes back to the family farm from time to time, but most of his time is spent in Metropolis.
Sounds like the show outlasted its title. They should change it to Metropolis.
I usually sleep pretty well, as in close my eyes and I am gone until morning, but I'll go through phases where I have a really hard time getting to sleep and staying to sleep.
When I first started having these problems, I'd grab a cheap bottle of wine and keep it beside my bed. I'd chug probably the equal of close to two small glasses and be able to go right to sleep. But I'd always wake up in the morning feeling like I had just come out of a dark tunnel into daylight, and needing to pee with the intensity of someone who has been holding it in for a few hours. Alcohol kills your REM cycle, so you end up sleeping long and hard, but dreamlessly and you wake up not feeling very rested. I wouldn't recommend this method until you are to that point of wanting to beat your head in because you are so tired and bored but too exhausted to get up and do anything productive.
Like DF said, cold water helps. I am sure there is a technical reason for it, but I don't feel like looking it up at the moment. Most of us drink far less water than our bodies need to function properly, so it stands to reason everything should work a little better when we drink more of the stuff. Sometimes I'lll drink a pint of cold water before getting into bed, and keep a second pint beside the bed to sip on. I am a big tea drinker, so sometimes I find a nice warm cup of herbal tea soothes me and gets my body in the mood for sleep, combine this with some reading, and I often find myself feeling like going to sleep when I was wide awake 30 minutes prior. Warm milk has the same effect for me.
Usually I can drink caffine even just a short time before bed and I have no problem sleeping, but when I hit a sleepless phase (they usually last me a week or more) I find staying as far away from caffine, no matter what the time of day, to be helpful. Perhaps this is only psychological, but since it seems to help me, I don't mind avoiding the stuff completely.
Finally, I try to avoid the computer, TV, movies, etc. when I am trying to get to sleep. After lying in bed for a few hours and still being as wide awake as when you first laid down, it can be tempting to surf the net or watch something, but I have always found this counter productive. Instead I'll read, or better yet listen to an audiobook or some old recorded lectures (you're in school, record your own or find some on the web, you'd be surprised what is out there). Sometimes these kinds of things have the ability to put you to sleep when you are wide awake, so imagine how effective they might be when you are exhausted.
Oh yeah, I've also found certain "vigorous bedtime activities" can help as well, if you have someone who doesn't mind if you pass out right after.
Reminds me of the one Carrie Fisher has/had, as seen in Bring Back Star Wars. Only her's has a removable top. Does yours have a removable top, Axia? Eh? I think not! Carrie Fisher's got you beat.
That is a cool statue by the way. You know, Gaffertape has a full sized cardboard cutout of her, which makes him my hero... well no, not really, but it does make him pretty cool. Most guys, myself included, always wanted one of the full sized cardboard Slave Leias, but were never brave enough to get one.
I just can't imagine what a girl might think, going over to a guys place with the possible intention of going somewhere, and then once she gets to his bedroom the first thing she notices proped against the wall... I guess that is what the back of the closet or under the bed is for.
Wow, I have only seen a few episodes from the first couple of seasons, but it sounds like the show hasn't changed much (which doesn't have to be a bad thing).
I always found it hilarious how frequently Clark turns evil. Out of the few episodes I have seen, I think he turned evil in three of them. I keep meaning to get around to watching more of it. Two of my friends are really big fans, one of them because he is a Superman nerd and thinks this is the greatest Superman TV show ever, and the other one because he is in love with Lana, Lois, and Supergirl and only watches the show to oggle (he is one of my younger friends).
Can't believe Smallville is still around. The thing is going to become the new Simpsons. Maybe eventually it will just fullout evolve into a new Superman series. Surely he can fly by now, right? Any of the original cast still around? Not even sure how the show is still called Smallville, since he was in high school during season one, unless he keeps getting held back a grade, he should have graduated long ago and left Smallville. Maybe this is an alternative reality where Clark Kent is really lazy and continues to live in his parents barn until he is thirty and mope about Launa.
Lol, dude, you've got me so confused I don't even know what we are talking about anymore.
Why would somebody make up non-existent musicals? By the way, you should really catch My Fair Lady sometime, I know it doesn't sound like the manliest thing ever made, but it is so far beyond awesome, I can't even think of the words to justly describe it.
If I come off that way V, I am not trying to. I'd love to have my faults pointed out to me, because I'd love to offend and annoy as few people as possible. Wouldn't want to be 'that guy' on the forum that nobody really likes. So seriously, discuss your issues with me and point your figures at me all you like. I use a great deal of sarcasm, it is just the way I am. I use it on these boards, I use it in life. Probably not the greatest thing, but it is me. I never mean any harm by it, and I mean it in the friendliest ways. But no doubt some people don't get it, and I probably come off as a complete dick hole.
I don't feel I am more intelligent than everyone else, or attempt to make those who disagree with me feel like idiots. If I do accomplish this sometimes, it is not my intention. I have a huge amount of respect for the opinions of others, including yours. Like Ash explained, the reason so many of us react to you the way we do isn't because of the opinions you hold, but the way in which you express them.
There are so many things in the world that are completely subjective. Even the things that are really solid truths in the world can only be perceived through the eyes of people, who will inevitably interpret them differently. Which makes it hard to really pin anything down as an absolute truth. Ultimately, almost anything is debatable. Even things taught as fact in our world, are often only fact from a certain point of view.
So when you make arguments like, these two actors don't look anything alike, and another member says, I dunno, to me they look a lot alike, and you respond by saying, Yeah, well they look alike to you because you are obviously really bad at faces, and I am freakin awesome with faces, so my feelings on this matter trump yours. You are going to start to get under people's skin. There is nothing wrong with that fact that you have a strong opinion about something, and nobody faults you for having an opinion different from their own. The problem here is in the fact that you are essentially telling people their opinions are invalid or less qualified than yours (as in, well obviously you are no good at faces, and I am).
Vaderisnothayden said:Thank you for explaining where that Superman film fit in. I'd wondered. Though to me it's an entirely different canon, because that's a different Superman. Different actor hence different universe. I tried watching that new Superman film and I gave up. It was pathetic. I also thought Frank Langella was badly miscast, though not as horribly miscast as he was in Frost/Nixon.
Yeah, it should have been definitively entirely different canon from the first films. This is really what hurt the film so badly, you are marketing the thing to an entirely new generation, yet you make them take a trip to the rental store and watch two out dated movies, that would, unfortunately, very much be considered boring by today's audiences, in order for them to really get exactly what is going on in this new film. They really tried to make all the actors fit with cast from the older movies too, though very unevenly. They kind of picked and choose. The whole thing felt very half assed to me.
I loved the Reeves Superman films as a kid, but I was really looking forward to a Sups reboot for the Batman Begins generation. Too bad all we got was another turd on the vast pile Holliwood turd pile. In this era of comic book movie madness, Superman deserved a hell of a lot better than that.
Vaderisnothayden said:ChainsawAsh said:It still made a shit-ton more than any other Trek movie ever has, so sequels are certainly guaranteed.
More's the pity. I was praying it would flop. I guess they can't all work out like Serenity.
Yeah, it would've been sweet if this new Trek film would have been as good as Serenity.
Yes, and I suppose you are for the most part immune to these herd like human tendencies?
Bingowings said:
First Contact on the other hand is vastly overated, it's basically a remake of Aliens (which was a remake of THEM!) it still got some nice bits in it but it did also introduce the bloody Borg Queen which contributed to the dilution of all that made those Cyberman/Cenobite hydrids so chilling in the first place.
Other than TMP all the Star Trek films were just glorified television episodes (usually rehashes of OS episodes, even TMP is guilty of that but at least it looked cinematic, but lacking any of the originality of the mother series) including the Colonel Abrams one.
Interesting take on First Contact being a remake of Aliens, and Aliens being a remale of THEM!. I have seen all three movies, and acknowledge that there is a similar theme, but I have a hard time seeing them as "remakes". They all fit into the us vs. the hoards of monsters! sub-genre of sci-fi/horror, but I think the similarities of the three end there. Movies with this theme are fun to watch, so tons of them have been made. It is exciting to see your protagonist survive against the odds when vastly outnumbered, and it is entertaining to watch as all the characters but the main ones get slowly picked off one by one. There are countless movies with this theme.
But yeah, Borg Queen sucks ass.
I think every TV show turned movie that ever exited has suffered from the accusation of being a glorified television episode. Interestingly, I found TMP to be the absolute least cinematic (of the TOS films) and the closest to being merely an episode of TOS, only with additional bells and whistles to beef up the run time and wooo theater goers in 1979.
I like the term Bootquel. Though I think Superman Returns would also fit rather nicely into this category. There were four Superman movies starring Christopher Reeves. Rather than being a full out reboot, then fairly recent Superman movie akwardly picks up as a new third film, following the continuity of the first two films, but disregarding the third and the fourth. Best I can tell, this was only done out of sheer laziness in not wanting to retell Superman's origins and not as part of an effort to avoid alienating the faithful fans of the originals.
The newest Incredible Hulk film might also fit in there to some degree. The film Hulk from the early-mid-00's sucked so badly, that instead of making a sequel, they decided to reboot the thing all over again just a mere few years after the first reboot. Instead of retelling the origin, they let it work as a semi-sequel. Retelling the whole origin story in the opening credits, and starting the character off on the lamb and hiding out in South America. Interesting, South America is where we last saw him in the completely unwatchable Hulk. I am guessing they did this so if you happened to somehow like the first film, you could call this one a sequel, and if you didn't like the first one, you could consider this one the first one. Fortunately, the new film seems pretty awful itself, so none of this really matters.
But I am thinking the bootquel might be a broader category than you realize. I think you have coined a very useful term. It is about time we broadened our vocabulary of words explaining some of the crazy new trends Hollywood has discovered in milking old ideas to their fullest potential before, god forbid, actually having to think up something original.
ChainsawAsh said:VINH, I think everyone keeps challenging you this way is because you keep acting as if your opinion is gospel and anyone that disagrees with you is an idiot, which makes you look like a dick.
And all art is subjective - I really don't see how anyone could think otherwise.
Nail. Head. BAM! On all points, including art being subjective (though I agree with TheBoost, it is a more indepth conversation than just that).
Wow, even the new loyal fan base is getting dumped on. Seems like being a fan of Star Wars, regardless of what generation, is like making a deal with the Empire that just continues to get worse and worse all the time.
You thought the musicals I mentioned were just made up?

For a guy who face palms a lot, you sure make me feel like face palming. You seem offended at the idea of people liking other Trek films more than FF. It isn't a matter of intelligence or of being right or wrong. It is a matter of opinion. If I liked the movies I do just because everyone else does, then that would make me a sheep. Just because I happen to like the films in close to the same order that a lot of people do, does not make me, or any one else in the same position, a sheep.
Baaaaaaaaa!
