I certainly understand people's frustration about the focus on Wolverine and such, but I have to say I always enjoy watching X-men I and II when they are on. They are overall very well written films with great cause and effect, and the subtle interplay between Stewart and McClellan is fantastic (I believe Stewart would have made an excellent Mr. Freeze in Batman Forever, but it certainly wouldn't have saved that film from.....well, itself.)

Can I extract music from a scene?

Nope. Sorry. You can minimize specific frequencies and such, but everthing is otherwise mixed altogether, like an egg in pancake mix. That being said, if you can get the 5.1 soundtrack, some speakers will have certain parts of the mix (center speaker carries most of the main dialogue, stereo speakers tend to have music and effects, suround speakers have music and ambiance.) If you play around a little with them, and possible substitute different sections between the various speakers, you might get what you are looking for, but it will take some work.

"Sometimes marriage can be difficult because it's hard to conciliate a life between the two, and there's always the money issue."

Most of our friends spent lots of money on their honeymoons, but we wanted a house. After getting married, we lived in my apartment for a few months, then rented a house from a family friend, and then found the perfect house. This was pretty easy, because we knew we wanted to get married, so we spent several months going out each weekend looking at model homes. Having seen all different floorplans and designs, we knew exactly what we wanted and what we didn't.

We moved into our home on February 14th.

No, it just means you are unable to commit - though I doubt you have that many choices to begin with. Besides, if anyone here deserves to be committed, it should be you.

"Right now, it's college and money (or lack thereof) keeping us from getting married."

This may not help you, as the situation was unique for us, but my girlfriend at the time (wife, now) and I had been dating for a few years. I had an apartment, but she lived with her parents - otherwise, they wouldn't pay for her college. I was finishing my first year of teaching, and we realized that if we got married before June 30th, she could apply for a school loan under my income (Since I had only been working for a few months for that fiscal year, it appeared on paper as though we were very poor.)

The only real problem was, we came to this conclusion around June 22nd - giving us only a week. Since she had a crappy, hand-me-down import that was on its last leg, we decided that we would try to get married if we could get her a newer or better car (since she would still have to commute to school, and her parents wouldn't help her out with the old car if she were not living at home).

A day later, we got a great deal on a Saturn. The next day, we got an engagement ring and I proposed. We were planning on just getting a civil wedding at City Hall, but her mom insisted on trying to get into a Chapel. We found the "Chapel in the Wildwoods", a cute little church in the local foothills. Small, cute and quaint.

My wife sent in the loan paperwork on June 27th, claiming we were "already married" (had to make the postmark date), and we got married the next day. A month later, we held the reception.

All in all, I'm actually glad we did it this way. There wasn't enough time for anything to go wrong.
