My mom's folster sister, my aunt Porn just got rushed to the hospital.  She is in her mid fifties and had breast cancer and didn't tell anyone.  She is not expected to make it through the night.  She has always been a kind person and we used to have really good chinese food and her resturant when I was a kid. I pretty much grew up with her daughter always being around, who is the same age as me. 

We just got the call, and this is completely out of the blue and we had no idea.  Please pray for my family.

Five minutes ago our biggest concern was getting enough to eat, now out of the blue a member of our family is dying, please pray.

I am sorry I know there are typeos in this post but I am too upset to look up the correct spelling.  Thank you for your support.

So you have not watched any thing James Bond related except the 1954 CBS broadcast of Casino Royal for Climax?

Oh and the new actor doesn't have to pretend to be Ford, he can play the part his own way.  Connery did not pretend to be the guy fro Casino Royal. Brett did not pretend to be Cushing when playing Sherlock Holmes.  Laurie did not pretend to be Nevin when playing Bertie Wooster.  Troughton did not pretend to be Hartnell. Why would the new actor pretend to be Ford? Why wouldn't he just play the part.

Under this logic Shakespear's plays should never be preformed today because none of the actors are playing the role, they are just pretending to be the actors who played the roles in Shakespeare's day.

My family is stuck in an upside down morgage where we can't sell the house for what we owe and now because of my dad's medical bills and corporate CEOs cutting hours and jobs we can not afford any food.  The only reason I am here is because my dad's job requires him to have a smartphone with internet in order to keep his job.

What is worse is we can't get on food stamps because we make to much money and technically everyone who works in the household works full time.  Never mind that is has been five years since anyone got full time hours and what money we do have goes to the medical bills, we can't get any help.

The only way we were eating up until now was the chickens we keep in the backyard and now a fox got them so we have no food and no way to get food ever again.  There are no jobs and we can't afford to move anywhere that there are jobs.

We have no choice but to just sit here and starve to death.  The United States is the worst country in history.  You know the thing is we would be much better off if my dad or I had died, life insurance would have covered that expense and we wouldn't have the bills and there would have been a little money left over.

Life in the united states sucks.  We are all nothing but fodder for the rich.  There is no hope of any kind.

Does anyone here know of a way to kill yourself that the life insurance company wouldn't detect.  I know you are going to tell me not to do it but my family really needs the money and it's the only thing left to do because there are literally no jobs.  Either I kill myself so my family can collect the money or they all starve to death.  Those are our only options at this point.

I really hate the fact that I was ever born. Life sucks and then you die. There is nothing else.

So will anyone be watching tonight?

Since one of the teams didn't earn their place there I will not be watching.

Instead I plan to watch Vertigo and Assault on Precinct 13 as a double feature.

The whole game is rigged.  it is not a contest of skill, it is a contest for who can find the most creative ways to cheat.

Oh I just thought of another plot thread, the villain.

Make the villain an old Nazi general who bought into the whole idea that Germany only lost the war because of the Jews so he wants to destroy the dead sea scrolls as an act of pretty revenge against the Jewish people.

Now there is a villain I would love to see taken down and he could be played as really evil and fun to watch by a good character actor.

Sorry I keep going on about this but I just keep getting new story ideas and when I get those I have to share them with someone, sorry.

Oh and you have all the conflict from the Cold War just starting up and the build up to the nation of Isrial being formed.

Sounds like the perfect back drop for an Indiana Jones adventure to me.

I know that they would have to rewrite history but that has not stopped them before,  I just think it should be mentioned that one of the biggest find in the history of archeology was The Dead Sea scrolls and they were found in 1947 and that fits nicely in Indy's time line.

Add some Nazi or Communist villains, some secret magical powers, some traps, and a plot reason why Indy needs to find them but doesn't take credit in the end and you have got yourself a movie.

Yeah good point.

I hope they don't try to turn it into one of those series that has a plot arc where all the stories are interlinked so tightly that you can't just sit down and watch and enjoy one film at a time.

Quite frankly I am getting a little tired of plot arcs in films and Tv that require me to site down and watch several episodes or films together to get closure on all the plot threads and then even then there is a cliffhanger.  Don't get me wrong there is a time and I place for that and I like it when done right but when every franchise is doing it then it gets a little grating.  One of the things I like about the Indy films is that like the older Bond films I can just sit down and watch one of them any not worry about an overall story arc.  Also each film has it's own feel so depending on what kind of mood I am in I can watch Raiders, Temple, or Crusade.  I hope it just stays a series of adventure films where each film has it's own story and villains and I don't have to keep track of a time line or anything like that.

He could work. 

If they do bring the series back i hope they don't remake the old movies.  Instead of a hard reboot i would rather see what was done with the older Bond movie.  it's the same character and you are not going to retell the same stories, a different actor just happens to be playing the role, and while the movies will be built around what that actor does well there is no need to redo any of the stories or make us sit through an origin story.

Just have a good two hour adventure film that is shot on location, with grit and dirt everywhere, and don't have aliens turn up in the end.  Oh and no CGI, because of all the grit and dirt it always looks out of place in Indy films.

Yeah I would love to see that.  Not really interested in a reboot but that would be something cool and new.

If not in theaters then on Tv, I mean if they tell one 13 episode story a year each season could be structured exactly like an old serial.

I am not really sure what the point of a more comedic take on Indy would be when we already have the Mummy movies and one of the reasons they worked was that they went a little more over the top and silly then the three Indy movies.

At any rate I think if they did reboot they would have to cast an unknown actor who can make the role his own and so it will not just be watching some famous person pretend to be Indy.

I said older ones where it is as good as it is going to look.  Like for instance Doctor Who.  If the show was shot on SD video tape it is not going to look any better on Bluray.

Now yes I do collect filmed TV like Star Trek, Dick Van Dyke, and other shows on Bluray but quite a few older shows were shot on SD video tape.  Most of the BBC's older output was in this format and film copies were only made for over seas sales but even then it was film copies of stuff shot on video tape so it's not going to look any better on Bluray.  That is what i was talking about.

Great, they still refuse to bring the highspeed lines out where I live so I can't register devices or stream.  Well if I have to resort to torrenting the studios have no one to blame but themselves.

Downloading a little at a time on my dial up connection is the only thing that works for me and so far there is not an online service that let's me do that.  All the online services require you to either stream or register the device you are downloading to on a highspeed connection and if the download gets interrupted then you have to start all the way over.  Once BluRay goes torrenting will literally be the only thing that will work were I live.  I want to support the content producers but the sad fact is with some shows they are not giving me a way to do that.

Also I like having a nice box on the shelf and something that i can easily use on any player without having to sign into an account or download something.  I guess I am just an old fart, but for $20 I want something I can hold in my hands.

Yeah thanks. 

Sorry about the scare.  I hate the mood swings that come with depression, they are no fun.

Yeah to be 100% fair I didn't read that as a joke, just a grim observation.

Still given the purpose of this thread I think it is best that we all just drop it and let this thread get back on topic.

Thanks guys.  I was at a real low point yesterday, but I am feeling better now and I am in a government program that helps find jobs for people like me, it's just takes about six months to go through the program.  So there is hope.

I just had a real rough time yesterday.  Depression is no fun at all.

Thanks for your support.

I have been where you are and truth be told sometimes I fall back into that.

I will be praying that you find your way back to God at some point.

I am working my way through Alias.

I never got the chance to sit down and watch every episode in a row before and boy this is a really good show and it has decent fight scenes.  One thing that always bugs me about female leads in action shows is when they win a fight too easily because the producers or the director doesn't want to show her getting her so they seem to win just because they are the hero.  This bugs me when it happens to male leads too, but is seems to be something that happens more to female leads.  Well this show doesn't have that problem.  Sidney is tough and she will win in the end by fighting smarter but they are not afraid of showing her bleeding or having to run to fight another day if the person she is up against is too big or well trained for her to take at the moment, yet they don't end up making her look weak either.  Like James Bond or Indiana Jones when she gets herself into a mess she gets herself out of it.

I also love the way they show her trying to balance being a spy and having a real life.  I kind of wish Spiderman would became a TV series instead of a film series after watching this, because this type of problem just seems to work better when played out over a number of episodes instead of in a couple of films.

Oh and Victor Garber is one of the coolest characters ever.

I am up to episode eight and overall I am enjoying it and I am shocked to find that the writers of the last two Star Trek movies may be the best writers on this show.  How did that happen???!

Still I do understand how you feel, I am going to be thirty this year and being a guy I didn't give much thought to this matter when I was a kid but I always just assumed by the time I was this age I would be a world famous writer and be married with a kid or two.  So I am kind of depressed right now.

Still thinks are getting better and as I said they are much better then they were when I was a teenager.  If you are interested in a girl just go up and talk to her like you would anyone else about something you have in common and no matter how nervous you are don't show it.  That tactic has worked wonders for me.

Hope things get better for you.

Hang in there, I am sure things will get better.  I used to be extremely awkward but as I said personality counts for a lot.

To prove it here is a picture of me, I mean I am the most awkward looking bloated person there could be and I have a rash all over my body that you can't see, but girls who talk to me are interested in me all the time. 

Hang in there because if there is hope for me then there is hope for everyone.

I don't know how much longer I will have a home.  My dad has never been able to stand me with my problems and only kept me around because of my mom.  Now my mom has done nothing but scream at me for the last two weeks.  Any time I disagree with her over anything she sees it as a personal attack and I am not a very likable person.  All I do is add to the huge amount of stress she already has since I am really bad at telling when someone has finished speaking and when they are just taking a breath.  She says I am a horrible person who is trying to control her because I make that mistake all the time when we are trying to talk.  I have tried to explain it to her but she just screams at me that I never let her finished talking.  I have tried to avoid talking to her, but she takes that as a personal attack too.  I am shaking like a leaf right now.

She is just fed up with me and I can't blame her, I am a horrible person who can't find a job.

Everyone I know would be better off if I had never been born.  I can't even talk to my own mother right, I am huge screw up.

If I vanish from this site it will either be because you has finally gotten tired of me or I got up the guts to end things once and for all.  There is no other way out at this point.  I have been trying for years to change but I am just too bad of a person to change.  The only thing left to do is end things.  I just need to get the guts to do it.

Sorry to post suck down news here but all of my friends have moved on and my family hates my guts because I am one of the worst people who ever lived, so I have nowhere else to go.

Sorry.

I have absolutely no self esteem. I always assume that everyone is thinking negative things about me, and find it impossible to initiate anything with the opposite sex because I think that if I talk to them they'll think I'm creepy and weird. I'm at an age where all of my friends have relationships headed straight towards marriage, and as much as I would like to have that, I doubt I ever will.

I surprisingly have great friends though, and love being around them, although when I actually stop and think about it I really have no idea why any of them would want to associate with me. I have started to slowly recognize that all of these things that I think probably are completely irrational and not true, but still have no confidence and fear that I never will.

 I know how you feel, I am in the same place.  With me it's more a lack of a job then anything else.  I over came my shyness with woman after a while by not caring if I looked stupid, now it's just the fact that there are no jobs around here that keeps me from dating.

One thing I did to get over my problem is I watch some old movies that featured characters and actor with an easy going manner.  I didn't so much pattern myself after them in the old fashioned way so much as I just let things slide off of my back and always look calm and care free.  In my case watching Carry Grant, Thin Man, and Groucho Marx movies worked wonders.  Also watching the series Jeeves and Wooster and reading P.G Wodehouse helped alot too.  I don't know how much help this will be to you but it got me through my awkward teenage years and if you have ever seen me then you know I am the size of a house but girls are always coming on to me because of how easy going I am.

I know what it is like to watch all of your friends getting married and to be all alone.  My little brother is practically engaged to his girlfriend and I have never had one due to my lack of a job.  I hope things get better for you soon.

Sounds hot.

 I am more of the Bertie Wooster type then the horndog college type, so for me it was just really uncomfortable.

Dear a-hole that hacked into my bank account and charged over $1000.00 to my account which then incurred over $150.00 in overdraft fees,

F*** You.  You are a piece of s***.  How do you sleep at night doing these things to people?   Some of which are not Donald Trump and can't afford that kind of money?!?   I need my money to pay my bills!  Your days of having fun and charging it to my account are over.  That card has be cancelled.  My bank is investigating the charges and hopefully I will recoup the losses.   Still, I hope some day you are caught and put in jail and after that, I hope you rot in hell some day. You son of a b****. 

Sincerely,

The Warbler

P.S.

Drop Dead.

 Ouch, I know your pain man.

Someone once hacked my bank account and I had to go in and look over every charge to my account over the past year to get rid of the ones that were not mine.  I was twenty at the time and there I was going over the charges with a nice young lady who was about my age, that was when I found that most of what they had charged was porn, and really depraved sounding porn too.  Anyone who knows me knows that spending two hours going over the names of porn sites and porn movies with a young lady is not my idea of a good time, just thinking about it still makes me squirm.

If you want to see something completely insane and Star Trek related that gave me flashbacks to the late 90s, check this out.

Yeah this cover keeps getting uglier the more I think about it.  I have no idea why anyone would create this thing.
