Here is what I was looking for: Saw it ages ago.
Still have no idea if its true or not though.... I wouldn't trust this picture because there are a ton of links from google insisting otherwise. Can't find anything about Jo actually saying this.

Beautiful people are more selfish?
I don't think I'm selfish at all.

She bugged me on Dawson's Creek and she still bugs me. I can't put my finger on it but she just bugs me. And she's not even a shadow of Marilyn Monroe. I just can't buy her as MM.

Can I just say, she looks abso-freaking-lutely beautiful with the hair extensions?

Who to play the Beast opposite Emma's Beauty? hmmmm...
I think David Prowse should play the Beast in costume, James Earl Jones should be his voice and Hayden Christensen should play him when the spell is broken. Oh and Jake Lloyd should play him in the prequel before he becomes the Beast.
-
Yeah, I still buy 'em. I'm a bit of a quality fanatic so I like to have the CD since they are nowhere near as compressed as mp3s and other formats. Also, if something should happen to corrupt the file or something, I still have the CD instead of the music just being gone. I've got a friend who had several hundred gigs of music on his HD and his computer just recently went toes up. He's hopeful he can get the music of the HD still but that's really something that you shouldn't have to worry about if you have the physical disc and take care of it.

You truly know that You are among rare and loved company when ANYONE can begin a story with "I was Googling Emma Watson..." and it's taken seriously, lol.

TrueAnd imagine if someone had uttered the same phrase 20 years ago. It would be taken as a euphemism for some coital escapade.

When I click your link, all I see is this:
Dude, don't tell me that's yours. Do you carry a murse?

Looks like Lucius found something to do after the dark lord got blowed up by HP.

But, I do know that they where very serious about not having Americans cast.
Yet we seem to have a flood of British actors coming to the US to the point of it being annoying. Many of our superheroes are now British - Batman, Spiderman, Superman (that's just un-American right there). What next? A biopic about John Wayne starring Hugh Laurie? It was bad enough when we had the Canadians coming down here and acting in our movies saying things like "aboot" and "eh". But now this?
But it hardly ever goes the other direction. You don't see a lot of actors from the US playing British characters. I can only think of two off the top of my head - Robert Downy Jr. who did it twice with Sherlock Holmes and Charlie Chaplin and then the chick that did Bridget Jones.
**For those without sarcasm detectors, the above was written somewhat tongue in cheek**
I think it's down to there being just too many local/county dialects in Britain. As opposed to America, where you get a generic accent for regions, with some deviation, but not as much as Britain.
Have you ever been here? You honestly think that two people who live over 3,000 miles apart won't have differing dialects? Not to mention people who don't even live that far apart. Just look at Boston for example. In just that one city you have the Boston Brahmin dialect, the Southie dialect and the plain old Boston accent. And someone in Boston is going to sound different that someone from New York. And they will sound different than someone form Virginia who sounds different from someone in Alabama who sounds different than someone from Tennessee and so on across the country.
But I guess I can't begrudge you that thought as the people who make the movies seem to think the same thing. In the movies it doesn't matter if a character is from Texas or Georgia, they just give them all the same generic "country/southern" dialect.

Has anybody read this. I'm thinking of picking it up later today. I saw the movie and liked. Sabermetrics really interests me. The book was written by the same guy that wrote The Blind Side. As good of a story as that was, what I thought was really interesting in the book of The Blind Side was the Xs and Os, the history and going through the progression of how a type of offense influenced a defensive player who influenced an offensive position etc.

Have an older 42" Panasonic plasma but so want this:
55" OLED. Super thin bezel to where it's almost all picture and the beauty of an OLED picture. And since it's OLED it will be only 4mm thick. LG says it will be out 3Q of this year. I'm sure it will be mega expensive though.
-
Sure, I'll boycott the oscars. But that doesn't make this year any different than the last ten or so. I don't really watch any awards shows.

Emma looks lovely as usual. But unfortunately, we appear to have another wardrobe malfunction. Something that is clearly on her left side does not appear to be on the right. It is a beautiful dress, though.
1. People aren't perfectly symmetrical.
2. Maybe the flower pattern is covering it up on the right side. (My right, her left)
But I do see what you mean. Doesn't make it any less cool to look at though

Well, I think they were asked to look closer than they were really ro promote the movies. I do believe that Emma And Dan are very good friends, though, but Rupert has always seemed to be the "different" guy. He hasn't the same hobbies and all, I think, even if I don't know much about him. He doesn't look for fame that much as well, he seems to be hesitating much more than the two others.
But actually, there's nothing wrong with them not being that close. You can share a lot with someone during a while and then don't keep in touch. It happens all the time
Agree.
They were coached to look like they were buds off the set as well because if the fans (most of 'em young) didn't think they were friends in real life then that could hurt the movie financially. It's a different story with grown up movies. I don't think anyone is under the impression that Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms are really buddies outside of the movie. They may get along well but I don think they're at each others house cooking ribs and drinking beer on the weekends.
Anyway, I just thought it was an interesting tidbit.

No,nobody have seen him !I don't know why,sometimes I think that the story is real!

I can't believe we're this far into the thread and no one has mentioned National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation or A Christmas Story.

I don't think I'm judging them too harshly but perhaps I'm expecting too much out of them. College students don't want to be called kids, they want to be men and women and be taken seriously. But then they act like this. They can't have it both ways. These students are supposed to be some of the best and the brightest as Penn State is supposed to be one of the top public universities. But they aren't behaving like the best and the brightest and the leaders of tomorrow.
And it's not just a couple of idiots. At least not on the coverage that I'm watching. It takes a lot more than that to turn over trucks and cause that kind of damage. Also, I'm quite certain that most of them are actually Penn State students as it's a small college town and this is taking place in and around the campus.
-
To categorize it as a riot and lump all the Penn State students together in that is a gross exageration of what is going on there right now. Yes... some idiots are rioting... but it's not the majority of students. I'm not defending anything about Paterno's situation. I think that the correct decision was made in light of what was going on. But until you've stepped into the shoes of a young college student in Central Pennsylvania, you don't know what you are talking about. I have been a college student in Central Pennsylvania and I know how they view Joe Paterno. He IS a God and Icon to those kids... for right or for wrong... and as long as they peacefully demonstrate they should not be characterized through a myopic lense. This is obviously an emotional response and as long as it doesn't get too out of hand I think it's wrong to be too critical of the college students.
Are you serious right now? I call turning over news vans and destroying property, fighting with police and throwing rocks at people a riot
You're basically saying that football is more important than what happened to those children, more important than right and wrong. That's the problem with what's going on with those students.
And don't tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about. I went to college at a university with one of the most successful football programs of all time. The successful coaches at that program are icons. Penn State has won 2 National Titles, has had 1 Heisman winner and won 3 conference titles since '93. That would be seen as an abject failure where I went to college. So I'm quite familiar with rabid football fans and lionized coaches and when there was a scandal at my university I knew it was time for the much loved coach to go. I think I'm quite justified in being critical of these students.
-
What an embarrassing display for the university. These students need to realize this is not about football, it's about the abuse of children. The students are looking like idiots right now. If you want to be outraged over something, if you want to riot over something then you should've rioted over what Jerry Sandusky perpetrated upon those children. I can only assume that the PSU students don't comprehend all of this because they aren't parents.

Just wanted to clear a couple of things up.
First - Yes, Steve was the co-founder of Apple along with Steve Wozniak. He didn't just own a share in it. He and Woz were inspired by the Phone Phreakers to make blue boxes for free long distance calls. This led them to their venture with Apple later. Read The Pirates of Silicon Valley or watch the movie of it. It will explain a lot in the timeline of not only Apple Computers but also Microsoft and how Xerox PARC fits into the whole picture.
Second - Steve did not co-found Pixar. George Lucas founded it. It was a part of Lucasfilm for several years. Lucas couldn't support it anymore and thought that Pixar should be self sustaining so he sold it. And the buyer just happened to be Steve Jobs who had since been run out of the company he helped found. This was also during his time with NeXT computers.
Watch The Pixar Story. It's an incredibly interesting story. It starts well before Pixar and goes through Pixar's time as part of Lucasfilm, through their time of writing and creating Toy Story and up through Cars (I think).

It's not the greatest quality. But like I said, an incredibly interesting documentary. Also, CNBC plays it from time to time so you might check that.

BTW Pints, your Horns are killing college football. That is all.

Probably gonna wait and rent MWWM on Blu-ray or On Demand. After seeing the trailer I'm just not that interested. The only reason I would be seeing it is because of Emma. Michelle Williams bugs me. She has ever since Dawson's Creek. And I just don't feel that she comes anywhere close to pulling off Marilyn Monroe. To me it just looks like Michelle Williams playing a character rather than embodying the person of Marilyn.

I wasn't taking a swipe at you. Please don't take it that way. But look again at my post and see who that quote is attributed to and I think you'll understand the point.
