| Server not found. But I wouldn't give it up based on just one person's opinion, especially someone who tends to be over critical.
But then again, I haven't heard it yet. Edit: Ok, it decided to load. It doesn't seem too bad. Its just so high pitched. Also, it would be better if it was less random, and more of a repeditive rhythm. (edited by emcee on 03-11-06 04:10 PM) |

| I understand that's there's a good chance this thread will be closed, but I was a little torn on which rule to break. Don't bump old threads, or don't make new threads on an existing topic. I chose the second one because I felt like making a new thread.
Anyway, I finally got around to watching Saw, and it was pretty good so I went ahead and watched the sequal. Ordinarily, I don't expect much from sequals where they weren't even creative enough to come up with a better title than the first movie's title with II added. But Saw II was decent, not as good as the first one, but good. Neither movie was that gory, although were a few cringe invoking scenes in both. But they're more supense and thrillers than gore/"watch people get killed" movies, which is good because I've never really saw the point to those. What I liked about both movies is that they keep you thinking the whole way, not just about what was going to happen next and what big plot twist was coming, but about the different solutions to the situations the characters were in. In the first one the characters did a pretty good job of using common sense in most situations, and thinking of better solutions than what the movie set-up. For instance, I was quite happy when that cop, after me yelling at the screen several times (I have a tendency to do that, which is why I normally watch movies alone), finally just shot the stupid drills. The second one however, kinda annoyed me in that each situation was set-up with a particualer solution and the characters in the movie were completely oblivious to any other possibilities, even if they were glaringly obvious. Actually the characters in the second one were all basically morons. I know, given their intense situations, it may have been hard for them to think up the best approach to each problem, and I also if I had just 2 minutes (or whatever amount of time it was) to find a key in a vat of syringes, I might not think to wrap something around my arms before I go digging around. But I also know if I had time to sit and think out the best course of action in a situation I wouldn't climb inside an oven reguardless of my state of mind. The second one also really began to drag after the first half hour or so of these idiots wondering around that house. Especially because it became very cliche, and reminded me of every other movie where there's a group of people trapped anywhere. With everybody constantly bickering with each other, and arguing over which direction to go and one jerk who puts his life above all the others. And of course a character that eventually become homicidal towards the others *coughcubecough*. The cop scenes were also pretty cliche in the second one too, but they didn't spend to much time on them so it wasn't too bad. One thing I will say, I was completely caught off guard by the ending of both of them. I like these types of surprise endings that aren't just entirely random, but based on clues dropped throughout the movie. The trick to those type of endings is that the movie has to keep you distracted enough by the tension in each scene to keep you from noticing hints that on thinking back make the big twist very obvious. Both movies did that very well. |

| I've seen this mentioned a few places, but I don't really believe it, simply because, unlike Amanda, Dr. Gordon failed the game, so I pretty sure Jigsaw killed him. Plus the actor who played him is currently suing the producers of the first film because they didn't pay him enough, so I don't think they could get him back for a third movie. | |||

| If I don't know how to spell a word, and I care if I mispell it (not normally), I just open a new tab and type it into Google. What's really sad is quite often not even Google knows what I trying to spell.
Anyway, I have a list of words that includes just about every nonproper English word, as well as alot of common proper nouns, and alot of tech related terms and acronyms. I used it to write a spellchecker in Perl a while back. So if someone does decide to add this feature, I can give them that list. Its taken from an RPM that adds /usr/share/dict/words (I think that's it) to a Linux system. As far as adding words to the dictionary, this could be done on a per user basis. Like the spell checker would point out a word it thinks you mispelled and the user could have the option of adding it to their dictionary, and that word can be remembered in their profile, and won't be caught as mispelled again. |

| The first one was kind of funny, and the second one was funny just because of hte random nonsense ending. Hopefully if you post more they'll have more of an actual punchline than that last one, though. Random nonsense is only really funny once. | |||

| My favorite was actually Enterprise. I never really liked formula base TV shows. Each episode of the other series follows a basic formula, a) Start out in "normal mode", completely detached from the other episodes (most episodes could take place at any point in the series). b) Put them in some seemily impossible to get out of situation that will cause the destruction of the ship and its crew if they don't find a way out. c) They think of some long shot solution that normally involves a long string of nonsense words and for some reason more often than not the misuse of the word subroutine. d) Success, and somebody hits big reset button and their ready for the next episode.
Enterprise on the other hand, had an overarching storyline, and normally each "adventure" played a part in the whole story. And the characters developed over the course of the series, rather than just reseting to the same generic character outline at the beginning of each episode. I also actually liked that it was a prequel. The technology got so advanced by Voyager that it just kind had the "Superman Effect" where they were so advanced that they had create ridiculous storylines to actually create conflict. I also like the sense of newness and discovery about Enterprise, everything just seemed like "old hat" by Voyager. I think went wrong with Enterprise was just that it didn't really appeal to "Trekkies". It was just too different, and too character driven. Most traditional SciFi viewers are looking for less Fi and more Sci. But it was still techy for people looking for a drama (that and the words Star Trek in the name). It also didn't really help that it was a prequel, I think alot of people watched the other Star Treks mostly to see the advanced technology.
This is actually explained in one of the season 4 episodes. |

| As a general rule forum moderator tend to be over-zealous, self-imporant or hypocrytical (or any combination of those), and this board is really no exception.
I'm not big on banning people just for not being very bright, atleast if they're not actually breaking any other rules, and I'd much rather see people banned for just being obnoxious and disrespectful. The "FAQ" says "no flaming" but that doesn't stop people from calling people stupid (in just that word, or others), insulting people's work without offering any constructive criticism, and just generally being rude, but the moderators don't care about that. Some of them are moderators. It's also a bit annoying when moderators are constantly closing threads just because they personally don't like the topic, when instead they could just not post or read anything there. But, oh well, that's the way forums are. |

Originally posted by dcahrakos Really to me the best season of Enterprise was season 3 when they were in the expanse fighting the Xindi. It had the most character development and the best battle scenes (actually Enterprise had the most action of the series). Season 4 was good too, but they for some reason left two unresolved storylines (I'm pretty sure they knew it was the last season) and the final episode was just a disappointment, they should have ended it one episode sooner. It's a shame they canceled it though, but even besides the lack of interest from traditional scifi fans, I think another reason it only managed four seasons was the other Star Treks didn't have to contend with reality shows. It just too expensive to make a special effect filled show with an actual plot line, when for a fraction of the cost you can get a bunch idiots to do stupid stuff in front a camera, and actually get higher ratings. Oh well, maybe after they do a couple of Voyager movies they'll do an Enterprise movie. |

| Huh. I was actually coming here to post a thread on this very topic.
The best retro bands to me were, in no particular order, The Who, Eagles, The Moody Blues, Billy Thorpe, Cheap Trick, Blue Oyster Cult, Metallica (not really retro, but their eariler stuff was better), The Doors, Kansas, Aerosmith, and Chicago. There's other but I can't think of them off the top of my head. Best retro song? Probably Hotel California. |

Originally posted by Xeon A whole bag of cheetahs? That's when you're high. Anyway, I see no reason why pot should be illegal. Yes its bad for you, but so are alot of things, but unlike tobacco, there's little to no physical addiction, and unlike alcohol it doesn't make people violent. Yet those things are legal. |

Originally posted by Cymoro No, I don't buy that. There is really one reason why people here, or any other message board (moreso on some others) are rude, obnoxious and disrespectful. Because they want to be. Certian people can act stupid, make bad or useless posts, and not contribute much to discussions. But that is no reason to go below that person and act like a jackass. Although these people complain about the people they're being condesending towards, I also don't but that they really mind them as much as they claim. Its pretty clear they enjoy the opportunity to be rude and make themselves seem smarter by insulting other people's intelligence. And no, flaming and arguing are not the same thing. Its easy to argue against someone's views without insulting them personally. |

Originally posted by Cymoro You may also notice I didn't mention any names. Maybe they know who they are, maybe they don't. If I wanted to attack anyone in particualar I would have, but I'm making general statements here. That's the difference between a flamewar and a debate, you attack the opinion, not the person who has it. Originally posted by Cymoro Of course it doesn't really matter that much, but for that matter neither does people acting like idiots. Its very easy to ignore, I do it all the time. But people sure make a big deal out of that. As far as anonymity goes, I guess that goes back to the comic farther up in this thread. I totally agree with that comic, I guess I just have different definition of "fuckwad". I don't think most of the people being rude and obnoxious on the internet would act like that to someone's face. Its the combination of anonymity and an audience that turns them into jerks. Originally posted by Cymoro Well maybe we should just get rid of the moderators. We can't have anarchy with people who are supposed to be enforcing the rules. But if we are going to have people enforcing the rules, I don't think its that much to ask that they themselves follow them. |
