And the TRM one as well.

Compared to the NNRRPPB Panaka, the TPM Panaka is so... dull.

Mmm, I could really go for some Jaffa Cakes right now... wish I knew where to purchase some locally... :(

 

Panaka say:

How 'bout you try some of them tasty PanakcakeTM instead, foo'?

I think the movie and the book were both written to be intentionally ambiguous.  While I lean to your interpretation, I think the movie supports your cousin's as a valid interpretation as well.

What? I don't see how it could support anything but the explanation the movie itself gave. Vanilla Sky was like that, no one understood it, even though they spend the last 10 minutes of the movie explaining what was going on.

 

I agree. The movie spelled out the explanation quite clearly and definitively, I don't think there was the least bit of ambiguity about it.

I loved that movie while watching it, thought it was shaping up to be a great little mystery thriller, especially when he met the woman in the cave. It was getting really exciting with all the conspiracy stuff. Then all the twists kicked in... and I was pretty disappointed. Feels like everything goes for the "WHAT A TWIST!!!" shock reaction these days. Comes off as a lame gimmick to me. Tired of it. Very disappointed by Shutter Island in the end, felt it could have been so much more.

Well!  First Portal and now this...

I want to say that the director commentary addresses the "ambiguity" of the piece.

If not, then I guess you both are just wrong.  :)

In other words, watch it again and try to see it as "all a lie" to convince him.  I think you'll find that it plays that way to the degree that there is no really conclusive evidence against it.

But you can go debate it on the imdb forums too, if you'd like.  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130884/board/

Stress and anger are killers. 

Plus, they lead to the dark side.

I watched Shutter Island again last night.
SPOILERS baleted::

Sidenote: Watching it after not having seen it for a while was very enjoyable, you really pick up on a lot of intricacies the Scorsese worked into the film.  Awesome movie.

Watched the 2004 adaptation of 'The Phantom of the Opera.'

 

It was a lot better than people say it is.

Probably the best Joel Schumacher film of all time.

^thanks... I've been tempted to check out the hype, but based on your recommendation I'll either wait for 50% off or just never get it.

The demo didn't really do it for me and I suspected some of the stuff in your review.  Thanks for confirming!

I just wish I could remember who I stole that quote from.

Ha! My sig worthy quote wasn't stolen! It was a product of my own technology paranoia.

 Technology paranoia or global warming non-paranoia?

I did 15 years ago.  The Fighting genre just doesn't have the depth to interest me anymore, I think.  I just don't think I can see myself spending days on end Mortal Kombatting like I did way back when.

In the OP, would the Doctor actually be KILLING Daleks? Or preventing them from ever existing?

It seems to me the morallity of those two actions, while perhaps similar, aren't the same thing.

Sort of the difference between not shooting a 5 year old kid and not getting your wife/girlfriend/mistress/neighbour preggers?

CP3S said:

Personally, I still think the machines taking over is a bigger and more immediate threat than global warming.

Someone put this in your sig.

Weird.  We call it 3rd breakfast.

Woo-hoo!  Portal 2, here I come!*

RedFive said:

I think the Toy Story trilogy could make a run at best trilogy of all time

*runs and hides*

Is there something that makes it a "trilogy" other than it has 3 movies in it?

greenpenguino said:

Yep, British.

 

Over here we sometimes call lunch, dinner. and sometimes we call dinner (the third meal) Tea.

 

I'm now going to drink this cup of tea now. 

 Make sure you drink it all down and don't catch any on your tonsils!

"The Music Man."

One of my all time favs. Made my wife watch it. She dug it to, so we can stay married.

I'm related to Robert Preston (Meservey) through two marriages.  Mine and my... wait a minute.  Didn't we already do this once?

Am I stuck in some king of Groundhog Day loop?

Finally watched Toy Story 3. Unlike a lot of people, I didn't cry, but I really thoroughly enjoyed it. It was as good as everybody else said it was, though my sister said it sucked, I just told her she didn't have an opinion, because Cloverfield is her favorite movie.

I didn't cry either and I had to have people explain to me why I was supposed to.  (http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Last-movie-seen/post/471168/#TopicPost471168)

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one.

And tell your sister that Cloverfield sucks.

doubleofive said:

Except for the last level [of Portal 1], [...] that part sucked and you don't really want to replay it.

What?  Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?  WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?

Man, that was the best part of the game.  Far and away.  I felt like I was finally figuring out what to do, instead of the game just telling me.  Even though that's not really true.  The game was still telling me, it was just less overt.

This is a weird story.

 

I went to my GP today because I was violently coughing last night and thought I had coughed up blood. Turns out the reason I was coughing was because I was actually choking on a small bit of the tomato sauce on top of the pizza tha  I had for tea. Somehow I had inhaled a small bit and it got into my lung tube-thing staying there for a while.

 

I feel like a complete doofus.

You had pizza for tea?

*Mind asplode.*

I'm related to the Late Robert Preston (Meservey) through 2 marriages.  Mine and my wife's brother's.

After learning this, I asked if I could meet him.  Sadly it was after he had already passed.  :(

Music Man is a great one.  I never could get through that Matthew Broderick one.

And Starship Troopers is also pretty good.  It's like StarCraft - The Movie!

And 12 Splitscreeners?  Well, who am I to judge?  But I'm a little more traditional than that.
