Mars Atack is a very underrated and missunderstood movie. Only 6.88? That was a great deal.

Momma always said life is like a box of chocolats. Bittersweet, expensive, and full of nuts.

Indeed it is.

In July I'll be at an AnimeCon, dressed up as a character from the anime "Naruto". I'll send pics.

After seeing "Hook" and knowing some details about Michael Jackson's "Neverland", I try to avoid anything Peter Pan related.

Last Samurai is a good movie, altough historically inacurate, and silly, in a Hollywoodesque way, at some points.

Talking about catastrophe movies, look what I found on MSN. I still belive "The Day After" and "Threads" should be on that list.

You can clearly notice any differences? I mean, it's digital, so it either plays with the best sound quality it can offer, or it dosen't.

It's an ok movie. Kinda bizarre. I love that opening sequence with Zardoz flying around, it's so... weird...

If you're already depressed, yes, Kafka will help you sink a little bit further. If you aren't, it's not going to do anything to you. In both cases, it's good literature - he was way ahead of his time...

One day I'll dress up into something like a stormtrooper or Boba Fett, and walk around the streets, not because I'd want people to look at me, but because everyone who sees me would have a good story to tell everyone about. It would make their lifes 0.001% more fun.

Perhaps I've finally made my final fall into dementia, and became extremly paranoid, seeing things where there aren't any. So to those who did not agree with me, please do forgive.

Sure:

Pro-Bush and Pro-War texts, absolutly not related in any way with the porpouse of the website: http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/chontosh.asp

When they talk about the "major league asshole" episode with Bush and Cheney, they devote long paragraphs saying how justified that act was, and how much of an ass Kerry was when he called a bodyguard a "son of a bitch", in a text I belived to be written by O'Reilly in his worse moments: http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/bushcuss.asp

Was there something Star Wars related going on on that mall, or anywhere near it? Or they just decided to do some shopping dressed up like that?

My favorites are the "vulture" short story, and "The Metamorphosis". I'll read "Amerika" as soon as I find some extra time to do so. Unfortunally some of his writings, specially the early ones, have not been translated to english or portuguese... If they were, I can't find it... I highly recomend reading Franz Kafka, anyone who enjoys good literature.

Ah, snoopes, also known as "right-winged-fox-news-alike-propaganda-disguized-as-an-urban-legend-website". I mean, have you seen the ones about Bush and/or the army? And the recent ones about senator Kerry?

Yeah, it makes as much sense as putting Woody Allen at the end of it, doing a joke as a ghost, and ending the movie with New Orleans Jazz music at the credits. Hayden as a ghost is one of the changes I still refuse to belive in, as it wouldn't make any sense at all, and would create a huge plot hole... well I refused to belive in THX-1138 special edition, and it was actually made, so...

Really? That reminds me of a Futurama quote, one of the few I can remember, when their spaceship was under the ocean, it was something like: "The preassure around the ship is 20 atmospheres!" - "How many atmospheres can this ship resist to?" - "Well it's a spaceship, so anything between zero and one."

And how come those airport movies, and some other movies from the 70s, had the year they were made with the title? Like Airport 74, Airport 77... It's like they were proud of being in the 70s.

My favorite "catastrophe" movie, the only one worth watching, is "Threads", I belive the british people here should know about this one.
