This movie or TV show had a character who could pass through solid objects. At one point, they went through a door, and the camera showed a view from the inside of the door - a 3-D scene of wood textures. I can't remember anything else about the movie or show, but for years, I wondered what else happened. I'd also like to see if that wood scene looks as cool as I remembered.


This sounds like the movie "Ghost".

None of my friends can remember the movie well enough to know whether or not the scene is in there, but one of them thinks there was something similar with a metal door. I am a fan of the movie, though (especially because of Whoopi Goldberg ), so I think I'll settle this by getting the DVD.


Its been a few years, but there is definately was seen where he walks through a door and there's some computer generated graphic of the inside of the door. There is also a part where a guy walks through him and there's a graphic for that too.

I love that movie. But mostly for the crazy guy on the subway. It could have done with a little less Swayze though.

Sydney's the killer. I'd put money on it.

I liked the first scream. A great parody, while at the same time a decent horror flick. I only saw a little of the second one, so I can't say to much about it, but the third one was just plain bad. The parody aspect turned into just general silliness (movie about the movie within the movie), and it tried to be more of a mystery movie than horror, which would have been ok if it made for a good mystery movie, but it didn't.

Off topic, but similar enough to not require a seperate thread:

I recently saw a preview for Final Destination 3. The first final desination is one of my favorite horror movies. Yeah, its full of alot of the same horror movie cliches as all the others, but unlike so many "thrillers", it actually thrilled. The second one was just an excuse to show people getting killed. Each death was either a long series of events that took all tension out of a scene, and reduced it to just waiting for the obvious to happen, or it was just some random out of the blue accident. Then they had all this goofy "rules of death" business.

I don't think there has ever been just one good horror movie by itself. Every good horror movie has led to a long string of mediocre and bad sequels. Movie studios are like three year old kids, whenever they do something funny or that gets attention, they just keep doing it over and over.

This is actually nothing special. You can buy a floating top that uses magnets at most novelty stores. The magnets are fairly weak, and the top will stay suspended about an inch and a half off its base as long as its spinning.

I don't know, whining about a speeding ticket when you obviously were speeding just doesn't seem quite as noble as speaking up for the oppressed lower class. Again though, I could be wrong -- maybe Dre and Snoop were just bitching about speeding tickets, too.


Heh. Makes more sense than what my question would have been: What does Northwest Airlines have to do with anything?

I might be a little bothered by it, but I would respect their right to express themselves in that manner. After all, is that what the flag really stands for? Other than that its just a piece of cloth.

I was working on a machine at work. Its got this metal flap that comes up just as the machine cuts off a part so it falls in the basket of parts instead of the base of the machine. Except after I made some adjustments to the machine, it was no longer timed right and the parts were falling in the base. I could fix it, but I wanted to fix the other problem I was already working on first, so when the part cut off I would just reach down and manually lift the plate. I do this all the time so it wasn't a big deal, but at about the third time I did it this time, I lifted it a little too high and had my thumb in just the wrong spot, and the machine grabbed my thumb and pulled it right up inside. I stopped the machine immediately and pulled out my thumb. I think the exact thought that went through my head was "Wow, that was close, I could have broke my finger". Then I looked at my finger. There was a long deep gash in my thumb. The thing I caught my finger on was smooth and round so it wasn't that that cut my thumb, but here and there on it there's these pointed things. But by pointed I don't mean sharp, the tops are rounded off, but that didn't stop the machine from forcing it into my hand anyway.

So I go to the hospital. I wait in the waiting room a while. Then they check me in. Then I wait in the waiting room a while. Then thay call me in and ask questions about allergies a stuff. Then I wait in the waiting room a while. The waiting room had a tv showing some incoherant cartoon and exactly one magazine, a finacial magazine that my gause started leaking on and I had to throw out.

Next they call me in and give me a tentious shot. Which actually didn't hurt at all, but the nurse reassured me it will tomorrow, so I guess I got that to look forward to. Then I waited some more. Finally I was brought into another room with a doctor. I haven't been to the hospital in a long time, and the last time I got stitches I was about 9, so alot of this was new to me. One thing I noticed was that everything they used, form towels to the needles was pulled out of a sealed package, and thrown out after use. The nurse brought in a seeled box, she opened in and inside was another box with a tray, with several compartments, one with thread, another with scissors, another with a syringe of anaesthetic..etc..It was like a little microwave suture kit.

The anaesthetic was the worst part. I remember that when I got stitches as a kid they had to put a needle right inside the wound, not only did this hurt alot, it also didn't work. I could still feel them stitching it. This time I couldn't, but only because instead of a single shot inside the cut, I got like ten shots all along the edge of the sore. The first one hurt the most, after that it started getting numb so each following one hurt less than the last. But by like the eight one I suddenly got real nauseous and light headed. Like was going to throw-up and pass out at the same time. Lucky I did neither and that feeling past after a few minutes. Then the doctor sewed me up and threw out the entire suture kit.

It was really a stupid mistake that could have been easily avoided if I had been paying more attention. Thinking back it could have been alot worse, if I hadn't had my hand on the lever to shut it off when it happened (alot of the time I don't), I'm sure it would have ripped my thumb off before I could grab it. Instead I ended up with five stitches, and I was back to work in a little over two hours. This was kind of a warning shot. Either way I'm sure I'll get a nice lecture on safety from the boss when I get in tomorrow, even though I think the machine already gave me one.

That should do the trick.


Oh yeah, so if I did get something like this, how would I be able to deal with the input? Would there be some simple way to record the stuff built in, or would I have to get a separate program that records everything being rendered (like fraps or whatever)


It should come with a cd that installs a program for viewing tv. It would likely have an option to switch between coaxial (for cable tv), composite (the older connector for accessories), and s-video (what you're using for your gamecube). Then there should be a button some where to start recording (either to a limited set of formats or to whatever you have codec installed for). If its a good one it may also have pause and rewind buttons, when you hit them it will continue recording so you can pick up where you left off. The audio coming through the coaxial will be sent to the sound card either though a crossover cable inside your computer or through your line in or mic jack. To get the sound off your gamecube you'll need to get an adapter that allows you to fit the right and left composite audio lines into the stereo line in jack on your sound card. They sell these at Radio Shack for about $3.

Doesn't seem that wierd. The previous owner probably just typed that out in there, printed it out and forgot about it, then later donated the computer to the Goodwill. He's probably still alive, he just wanted to make sure his wishes would be carried out if he did die.

A machine shop. The machines are safe as long as you don't put your hands where you're not supposed to. I guess this is true of alot of things. I know standard factories are safer, but only when all the safety mechanism are in place, my sister lost 2 and 1/2 fingers in a punch press because the safety mechanism wasn't in place.

Anyway, my arm was sore where I got my tentious shot for a few hours yesterday, but it wasn't too bad. And the swelling's going down, even though I haven't been keeping it as clean as I should. I'll be happy to take this stupid bandage off though.

Actually, that's the only time I've really had stitches, though I did crack my head open when I was really young; as I recall, they used my hair instead of thread sewing it back up, and that didn't hurt at all. I think. My memories of back then are fuzzy at best.


That's new. Did they just tie the hair together on either side, or did they actually sew with it?

I found this thread to be funnier than that video. I'm not sure what was supposed to be funny about that video, I guess the fact it was talking made it slightly more funny than something else catching on fire, but still, as a general rule, something burning isn't funny.

Sorry, but you're all wrong.

The most quotable movie is Pulp Fiction, with Full Metal Jacket in a distant second place.

And now for your reading pleasure, the "What does Marcellus Wallace look like?" scene:

Brett: I just want you to know how sorry we are about how fucked up things got between us and Mr. Wallace. When we entered into this thing, we only had the best intentions –
(Jules shoots the guy laying on th couch. And Brett is freaking out.)
Jules: Oh I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? Please, continue. Oh you were finished? Well, please, allow me to retort. What does Marcellus Wallace look like?
Brett: What?
Jules: What country you from?
Brett: What?
Jules: What ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in What?
Brett: What?
Jules: ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER! DO-YOU-SPEAK-IT?
Brett: Yes!
Jules: Then you know what I'm saying!
Brett: Yes!
Jules: Describe what Marcellus Wallace looks like!
Brett: What, I-?
Jules: [pointing his gun] Say what again. SAY WHAT AGAIN. I dare you, I double dare you, motherfucker. Say what one more goddamn time.
Brett: He's b-b-black...
Jules: Go on.
Brett: He's bald...
Jules: Does he look like a bitch?
Brett: What?
[Jules shoots Brett in shoulder]
Jules: DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BITCH?
Brett: No!
Jules: Then why'd you try to fuck him like a bitch, Brett?
Brett: I didn't.
Jules: Yes you did. Yes you did, Brett. You tried to fuck him. And Marcellus Wallace don't like to be fucked by anybody, except Mrs. Wallace.

Anyway, as horrible as it sounds, with Jules tormenting this guy, its actually pretty funny to watch. Actually that's not the most quotable part. The most quotable parts are ones you can use in normal conversation, like if you ate something and you're thirsty, you can ask for some tasty beverage to wa-a-sh it down.

Also, the Ezekiel 25:17 quote is pretty good, even though (or especially because), it's completely (and purposely) inaccurate.

It's genius. Why didn't Hollowood think of this earlier? Why bother with confusing nondescriptive titles? Just explain exactly what the movie's about right in the title. Scent of a Woman? Blind Obnoxious Depressed Guy. The Shawshank Redemption? Guys in Prison. The Silence of the Lambs? Cannibal Helps FBI Agent. Dude, Where's My Car? Dudes loses his car. Ok, I guess that ones already done, but you get the point.

My thought with Full Metal Jacket was just the wide range of insults it provides that I would have never thought of. I mean, "unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit", you have to see the genius in that.

And the word rifle can be replaced it the prayer for anything you own.

Really, though, what's the big deal? Can't people already insult each other right in the threads? What difference does it make if there's one more place to do it?

Besides, people will barely use it, atleast after the intial novelty wears off. There's an option to rate users too, but how many people actually have ratings?

So it may be useless, but also harmless. I say go for it.
