  1. Nah sorry Wall-E was just pointless for me. xD Like CARS and some other movies. >.<

     

    Kim I love that Tarzan video! :tongue0020:

     

    ^I agree Tangled was very underrated!

    I thought Wall-E was very well made but the story didn't enthrall me. I know Cars was pretty much panned by everyone but it's one of my favorite Pixar movies.

     

    It's really about what movies speak to you. Like Hot Tub Time Machine got bad reviews but that movie speaks to me. I've seen it so many times. The character that the guy from The Office plays is me...more or less.

     

    I've not seen tangled yet, I want to though... Sucks with Mack not being old enough to take to the cinema yet.

    You totally need to rent Tangled or stream it or watch it on demand or whatever.

  2. If we end up with an Atlanta/Memphis Finals then the NBA is gonna take a big time ratings hit. I just don't see anyone being interested in that match-up.

  3. The Disney company is a movie making group of geniuses! :D

    Haven't been for about the last 15 years. Tangled is the first bona fide hit they've had in a while that is an actual Disney film. Most of their success over the past several years has been in distributing films for other studios such as Pixar and Jerry Bruckheimer and the like. Hannah Montana and High School Musical 3 are the only other truly Disney movies in recent memory that might be defined as box office hits.

  4. Here I have to inform you that it's not quite accurate. What we know nowadays is that by the time Hitler got chancellor, his party lost so many voters that he couldn't form any goverment on his own. Hitlter was supported by industrialists who made sure he'd get into office because he made a contract with them. Without the help of those people he'd never be the chancellor of Germany.

    You're sugar coating a turd.

  5. Ok guys seriously? Most of you are 20+ and you want to have a petty argument about something like this, come on now.

     

     

    Lets all stop playing off stereotypes shan't we? Sure America pushed back the native Americans, but you want to know what actually killed the majority of them? Disease, it's call a Virgin Soil Epidemic, and it wasn't caused by Americans it was caused by early European settlers. The rest was resettling and pushing back of the native Americans sure, but it wasn't a genocide. The closest thing to that is the Trail of Tears march, which was absolutely horrible and sad, but not a total all out genocide on Indians in America.

     

    On the subject of Hitler not every German was a nazi nor did they all support the holocaust and purification efforts. Ever heard of the swing kids in Hamburg or the German Resistance? Even Nazi's actually tried to stop genocide (shocker!), take John Rabe in China who protected several thousand Chinese from Japanese atrocities.

     

    Stop playing off of petty stereotypes in order to insult one another, it's just sickening.

    Good points all. I'm feelin' ya.

     

    I usually look the other way when people on here get hot and bothered or opinionated about something but when someone goes running down my country, I take a stand.

  6. P.S. Richie is German,Hitler was Austrian ;)

    And this exonerates Germany how? As I recall he was the German head of state during the holocaust.

     

     

    I'm not the one who started all of this. So I suggest you step off. I only replied to what you said, tyvm.

    Not true.

     

    Just looking through the posts, you were being antagonistic toward sirbenedictvs. Then Lena got in on it and you and sirbenedictvs and Lena went at it before I ever got involved.

  7. Yeah now you take what I said way too far, but meh. *shrugs*

     

    And as I said, I remember it very well as well. Every moment of it, everything I saw. Just like you.

    Oh yeah, slaughtering the native amaericans, yeah you fought hard for your 'freedom'.

     

     

    I used it because Lena asked me something about WW2. ;) You weren't there as well. Capitalisim vs communism, what a epic battle. lol we don't really know that. But gee thanks, Russian is a tough language. Yeah winning the technology battle is really hard when your opponent doesn't have the same amount of lets call it cash. Till now Russia fights with the aftermath of the technology battle. You know, the Allies would've liked it more if Germany didn't get reunited. And it was the people who fought hard to reunite Germany and managed in the end.

     

    Anywho we get more off topic than we should.

    Are we doing this?!

     

    You may remember 9/11 but not being an American you will never get it. I watched the news and saw what happened in Japan a couple of months ago but I won't do those people the disservice of pretending that I know how they feel.

     

    You wanna talk slaughter? Aren't you from Germany? How bout your boy Hitler. You got no room to talk buddy. You've stepped in something you don't understand man. Now I suggest you just step off guy.

  8. JFK is a total cluster f***. Got lost between terminals in a few occasions, but I just really hated how crowded it always is.

    Talk about crowded, O'Hare is crowded. Once pulled in there on a flight that was running late and my connecting flight was all the way in another terminal on the other side of the airport. Got to the gate and was told that the plane I was looking for had been rerouted to another gate. Wanna guess where it was? Two gates down from the gate that I'd arrived in. Somehow I made it though.

  9. Maybe you don't mean it this way purple but calling us out as being unjustly paranoid over 9/11 or the Red Scare is coming across as a dig.

     

    I remember that September day. And although I watched it on TV and was not there, when the first tower fell my heart sank with it. To see those people jumping out of the windows from 80 stories up to certain death was horrific. You could only imagine (although you wouldn't want to) how awful it must have been inside the building in order for people to choose jumping to certain death as the better option. They had gotten to America. They had taken a piece of our freedom that we have fought so hard for for the last 2+ centuries.

     

    And call us crazy for not trusting others during the Red Scare but you weren't there. You're judging a people from the eyes of someone living over 50 years later. Some of the distrust was needed. And we fought off communism and won. If not for the tenacity of the U.S. Europe might be speaking Russian now. We won the space battle. We won the technology battle. We backed them down at the Bay of Pigs. The mutually assured destruction is what kept the communist at bay with their ICBMs. President Reagan in his fight against communism put Germany back in one piece when he implored Gorbachev to tear down the wall.

     

    All I gotta say is those SEALs are some bad muthas.

  10. I don't know if any of you have ever noticed but Microsoft's Outlook calendar goes up to something like July 3500. I wonder if that will freak some future society out.

     

    "Oh no! Those people back in the 20th century must have known something we don't! AHHhhhhh!"
