  1. Same thing that happens to most guys, he went a bit nuts. graemlins/thumb.gif
  2. dollar theater graemlins/thumb.gif bigscreen effect, cheaper then a rental.
  3. Let it first be said that no one should attempt to pass a history exam based on this flick. Though some parts were remarkably accurate, other parts were remarkably not. Just as the realy story of alexander the great, this is not the feel-good hit of the year. The dudes life was fucked up, and you're weird if you dont feel a little awkward wathcing some of it. The movie, as a movie, was decent, 3.5 : 5 stars. The movie as a biography was a massive dissapointment. This deffinately needed to be a 2 parter. It spent most of its time chronicling his decline and almost NO time chronicling his rise. Gaugamaela was the money shot, the last push to officialy seize Persia, but it damn sure wasn't his most impressive victory. How Alexander became "Alexander the Great" happened between Macedoni and Babylon. It sure as hell wasn't in india or caucasus. -His first battle along side his father at Chaeronea -Crossing the Granicus in uphill battle and winning -The battle of Issus where he first met Darius face to face in battle. Darius ran away then, too. -The seige of Tyre, I'm actualy kinda pissed they left this out bcause it was just cool. I wanted to expencive ass CGI to show what went down, but oliver stone is a bitch. -The conquering of Egypt, naming him Pharaoh, the founding of Alexandria. They did show the famous lighthouse and the library from where hopkins was narrating from. This movie would have been a great 2 part series. Part one his rise to greatness by conquest, part 2 his fall from greatness by indulgence and paranoia. Other "creative liberties" include; -Roxanne never left caucassus, there was no mariage, no offspring. He didnt marry her because she didn't want to. He was still a good dude then. -Philotus and his dad were killed for secretly taking credit for Alexanders victories, not an assasination attempt. -Alexander took an arrow tot he chest when, during a seige, single handedly climbed the walls of the city and began fighting everyone, alone. This was a damn good look into how he fought and who he ws, why they changed it, I dont know. There were other things, but I'm sick of writing. Maybe I know too much to enjoy these movies, so dont listen to my opinion, go watch the movie and form your own opinions. I have a feeling the christian right is going to be throwing a fit over this one. [ 25. November 2004, 02:11 PM: Message edited by: Regenmeister ]

  8. Chris finally came out of the closet, he and Joe are out lobbying for gay marriage. graemlins/thumb.gif welcome back
  9. This is for anyone who thinks they're hardcore, or knows what hardcore is. The movie is called "Touching the void", and its a documentary'esque portrail of one of, if not THE best solo survival story I've ever seen/read. I've seen it, it's well put together, deffinately worth watching. "Vertical Limit" was a joke. graemlins/thumb.gif
  10. Still a dickhead, he should know that shit graemlins/thumb.gif He actualy did pop them off right before he hit me. I couldn't see shit until he he did, thats when I noticed he was in the middle of the rod and about to hit me.
  11. Saw my first 05 mustang on the roads today....driving at me down the middle of the road....and wouldn't turn his brights off. It was out in BFE and I didnt know what it was untill it passed and I saw the tail lights. Fuckers got some bright highbeams....fuckin dousche.
  12. because they aren't smart enough to operate a condom or realize that sex = babies. True story. She could be using "The Dubyuh" dictionary.
  13. who wants a chick with hot sweaty feet? I wear boots alot, and I sure as hell wouldn't want to fuck me. tongue.gif
  14. does she still have her benifits? some places do that X days after hire date, make sure she's still got'm.
  15. TTT c'mon folks, she's loveable as hell!
  16. You've been listening to Loren too much. tongue.gif I realy liked this flick, had a good point to it, too...once you get by the underlying communist propaganda.
  17. Damned creative, Dubyuh wants to give her a job. graemlins/thumb.gif
  18. sturdy work bench: stack up 2x4s to the desired width, in your case, 2'. Glue all them bitches together. Mount 4x4s at each corner, and run 2x4's connecting each of them, once around the top, butting up tot he surface, and on row 3" off the ground. You can lay plywood across the bottom 2x4s to make a shelf. You have yourself a sturdy and massive table top suitable for everything from simple homework to rough S&M sex. For a smotth surface on top, use a sheep of cheap lexan (if you're not worried about heat). A slab of 1/8 stainless would be best, but that may be expencive.
  19. who the hell wants a new 5 series anyways? The damage is an improvement, now it's automotive art. I'd rather buy an E34. graemlins/thumb.gif http://cerclem.free.fr/images/registre/m5/m5%20racing1.jpg

  21. Some fun? Rotary Jihad and I have been doing htese for years, its fuggin addictive. There is never a dull moment. "You gotta follow the speed they set? omg boring booo'zor". Hell no. The roads they set you out on are plenty exciting at 35 mph. Enter, you'll like it, even if you realy suck. The team formerly known as Team Buick will be there in S, owning all you. tongue.gif stickey ickey ickey
