Wasn't Bush's approval rating very high after 9/11 occurred? Anyone have any numbers?

bump How could Bush possibly try to get re-elected on the merits of his qualities as a defender? "Bring 'em on"

Yup those I see all the time, they are pretty awesome. Once I saw them while me and a bunch of friends were playing basketball in the fall when it was getting real cold and the things were just dancing in the sky.

Damn it's completely clouded over up here north of the border.

Ju-On (2000) Written and Directed by Takashi Shimizu First off this is the movie that kicked it all off. It was followed by Ju-On 2 , Ju-On The Grudge, Ju-On The Grudge 2, and now the Sarah Michelle Gellar version The Grudge all directed by Shimizu. These movies have since become sort of a mystery due to the fact that very little people actually know there are so many of these movies and that there is an actual order in which they proceed. So I personally decided to buck that trend and watch them from the start. So.... Anyways this movie eerily begins off with a teacher played by Yûrei Yanagi who must visit the ominous home of one of his students Toshio whom has not recently been to school and who's parents have not been able to be reached. When he arrives at the house he discovers the boy is alone at home and his parents are out and about. This is when the movie flashes back into an almost short story mode where it tells the tale of others who have lived and been in the house and what has become of them. One of the characters being played by Chiaki Kuriyama who has gone on to bigger and better things with Battle Royale and Kill Bill. This movie is confusing and made even more confusing by not being used to watching a movie with all Asian people and subtitles. But from what I've understood these people have all been cursed with The Grudge as is described in the beginning of the movie as After these sequences are finished Shimizu once again returns to the main story of the teacher and his student Toshio. Where we quickly learn what has really become of Toshio's parents. These short story like sequences are very frightening and creepy, and it wasn't the limited amount of gore that got me. It was the great direction and incredible use of sound to freak the s*** out of me. I've never really seen any American horror movies made like this one, and it's almost hard to explain even to myself how a movie with such an erratic and confusing timeline could still be so satisfying. Although maybe I'm just ignoring the fact that many of these confusements(is that a word, if it isn't it should be) will be explained in the sequels, which I now must absolutely see. 8/10 -------------------------------- The Actual Order of the movies is Ju-on (2000) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0330500/ Ju-on 2 (2000) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0330501/ Ju-on: The Grudge (2003) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364385/ Ju-on: The Grudge 2 (2003) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367913/ The Grudge (2004) Sarah Michelle Gellar one http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0391198/ I also believe there is an extremely unknown one that they all follow from 1998. I think it's a short story or something. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0330312/ ------------------------------------------ Other movies I've seen since my last review 8mm 6/10 Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry 8/10 Ringu 7/10 My Little Eye 6/10

Russia pariliament voted for it 139-1, now all it needs is the expected signature of Putin himself. http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/200...yoto041027.html

As funnily stupid as that was, I think that would be pretty easy to fake.

James Gandolfini is not in the Big Lebowski. But he was a gay hitman in The Mexican. Maybe who you're thinking of is Jon Polito who I believe drove a VW Bug in The Big Lebowski.
-
Yah Gandolfini has kind of gotten screwed with the box office but he is still great in all his roles and in my opinion is one of the top actors right now. By the way he's going to be playing Ernest Hemingway in an upcoming movie alongside Robin Wright Penn.

I don't know if anyone ever noticed but in Ringu the movie that was remade as The Ring he makes an appearance. In the girls house there is a baseball game on and guess who's pitching, it's the shinger!!

from imdb.com Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal. Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry
-
Can you get it off the internet anywhere sox4lifeinPA because I'd like to see it.
-
IT'S WEAK AND IT PUTS YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN GRAVE DANGER!
-
Well it's not like in the late 80s war was about to boil over and I think it would be reasonable to deny that Kerry has been on the wrong side of EVERY defense issue. Jas you believe way too much of the spin.

My computer is fine too. No worries.
