Crap! Should have kept my mouth shut!
Sweet! Top of the list!
Go!
I just finished Jonah Lehrer's "How We Decide." It was really good too. A little overlap with the Freakonomics books, but otherwise a different topic. It mostly concerns the different "layers" of the brain and how they interact and arrive at a final "decision."
Now I'm reading "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. It's made for an interesting third point to Lehrer and Leavitt.
I actually really liked Lazenby. OHMSS is in my top 6 or so.
Frink spouted:
No Bond movie can lay claim to best evah if it doesn't include Walken, Jones, or Duran.
You like Duran, eh? Well, by singling him out, you're making Duran feel bad.
Not to turn this back into the James Bond pages of the "Love/Hate" Thread, but GoldenEye may be my #1 favourite Bond movie. Everything Brosnan post GoldenEye is just plain terrible, IMEO.
GoldenEye + Casino Royale = Directed by Martin Campbell. He can direct the rest of them, as far as I'm concerned.
VFP,
I've used Firefox and Chrome, but I always come back to IE. I never get what the big deal is. I think some of it is a "Take this, Microsoft! That this, with!" kind of attitude.
I use a browser on 3 different machines- one at work where I can't change the browser, one on my laptop where I don't have a lot of spare disk space (and that's the primary reason I uninstalled the other browsers) and our family desktop. I guess I could use something besides IE there... but I just don't really care enough to do it.
"All <browsers> take you to the same internet... why pay to get there faster?"
I thought you were my internet girlfriend... ?
I liked Casino Royale quite a bit. Maybe if you'd suffered through more of the Brosnan movies- you'd have been as ready for Daniel Craig as most of the rest of the world.
I also really like FF and FF:RotSS. The humor works for me. Yes, there is some miscasting, but I think Alba does well enough. Chris Evans as the Torch is funny. It's lighthearted and I can watch it with my kids... what else do you need?

Coop for Coffee!
I'm actually a chocolate person myself. I've never had a cup of coffee... and the smell of it will probably keep it far from my mouth forever.
I could go back and read those... or I could just wait for Frink or Ric to remake them in a new thread...
It's the same reason I don't watch shows from the 70's or 80's. There's bound to be a movie here sooner or later. ???
While I can appreciate a nice DVD on a nice upscaler... 1989 The Abyss is not a nice DVD. It's letterboxed, not anamorphic- so right there it's about 60% of the resolution it should be... so I've been waiting for the a new DVD or a BD to come out... but I've wanted to watch it recently. Has it been in HD on TV anytime? Are there HD rips of it available anywhere?
Cool, so we're rewriting the past, but we dumped Darth Ideias and C3PX and inserted Ric and xhonzi. I like it.

CGI has no place in American Graffiti. It was not there in the original release. I don't appreciate it in THX 1138 or Star Wars trilogy or Raiders of the Lost ark either. Whats next willow?
Erm... doesn't Willow already have CG in it?
If you start, you should start at the start.
I think you can also take on a new good habbit for Lent, but I'm not sure. Perhaps going to the Gym is the positive way of stating "Stop Avoiding the Gym."
So, you can stop being a gun hating pacifist for Lent. There- now you're giving something up.
Super Happy Hero Family Ninja Go!
But I might be making that up.
Maybe you can take up guns for Lent?
And I don't suppose a Texan Police Officer should give up guns while he's on the job... :(
Ah, but this bear is smarter than the average bear.
Rampancy? Has your PS2 become self aware? They usually impose a strict 4 or 5 year life span on these semi-intelligent machines to prevent this.
I know a Mr. Deckard you can call. He say you braidrunner.

Okay, now Christian Bale in a Batman costume shows up? This is just getting too ridiculous.
Almost as bad as ABC's Lost! <boom boom>
But did you give it up... for lent?

I saw the trailer for that Lars movie and I nearly puked. No thank you. But then I'm not complaining about the lack of originality in Hollywood. Though I'd certainly agree with any view that looks down on Avatar and the recent Transformers movie.
What about it almost made you puke? I had seen the movie poster all over, but I hadn't seen the trailer prior to seeing the movie. It seemed better to me that I really had no idea where it was going.
This reeks of Deja vu. But I can't remember which thread or who it was...
They call that the "Ignore->Friend" relationship. Similar to the IRL "Love->Hate" relationship.
