    "300"

    Pretty decent movie but doesn't hold a candle to Sin City. Xerxes was badass though.
  2. Yes, I expect Al Gore and his family, one of the most powerful in America, to somehow use as little energy as your average American... And I'm saying that without really knowing, or caring, if Al Gore does take appropriate steps to reduce his ecological footprint.

    Theatrical Trailer http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll...480&qth=300
  4. Considering it was -54 here with the windchill the other day -10 is a cakewalk, but 100 sounds pretty good to me these days.
  5. canadafreepress.com... Universally recognized as a joke in Canada. Denying climate change is like arguing that we were doing the blacks a favour by enslaving them.
  6. QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 7, 2007 -> 12:18 PM) He was on last season as Chloe's ex... he's not a mole. Nope not a mole, but yes a Canadian cook. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Rota
  7. QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Feb 3, 2007 -> 11:38 PM) I believe those incharge at IMDB make sure certain movies are given just due. Here's one circumstanial point -- look at how many votes each movie has received. Am I to believe The Shawshank Redemption has received 230,000 when the next closest is Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings with 216,000? I honestly believe SR is still quite overlooked, even with all the critical praise it has received. Not many casual moviegoers have seen it, or know much about it. Where have all these fans come from? Yah not every vote counts towards the top250 listing, and the actual formula for the vote average is secret to prevent tampering. You'll also notice the average for some movies is different on the 250 list than it's page shows.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_length There are also going to be a couple of trailers for fake movies in between. One is being directed by Rob Zombie.
  9. Of course he wasn't knowledgeable enough about security to know that the 9/11 attackers didn't come through Canada. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2005/04/21/g...enna050421.html
  10. Not quite Last King of Scotland quality but I found the trailers for this schlock and I couldn't help but laugh. and this http://youtube.com/watch?v=nVUGWBoVeF4
  11. http://edition.cnn.com/ According to AC360 a staffer at the embassy says there are no injuries. Phew.

  13. Lets get this straight. This a surge because of all the words that could have been used to describe Bush's plan it's the one that's viewed most positively by focus groups.
  14. I guess this is sort of a spoiler but my sister said that Wayne Palmer is the president now. I can't quite remember the situation from a previous season but didn't he almost murder someone? The show's a great waste of time but it's ridiculously far-fetched.
  15. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 10:30 AM) So who were the 5-27 people we killed with this attack (depending on who's statement you read) I assume that it's mostly the remnants of the Islamic Courts Union. But the reports are all over the place so who really knows. I believe Fazul's wife is in custody in Kenya though.
  16. QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 10:53 AM) What I love about Jack Bauer is that 24 hours can pass and he doesn't ever need to eat, drink, sleep, or go to the bathroom. This is what his sixth day in a row like that? Those mystical Satirs have nothing on him! He goes during the commercial breaks.
  17. Doesn't Dubai have an indoor ski hill?
  18. They didn't get any of them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6251077.stm f sakes...
  19. U.S. still has not confirmed the kill. However I have heard that all that's left is a DNA test to prove it's him. However I believe it was thought that Ayman al-Zawahari was dead a couple of times as well. Huge kill if he's dead.
  20. I've been following this pretty closely. Here's what I said about it on my blog. He's not Osama, Zawahiri or big ole Mullah Omar but Fazul Abdullah Mohammed and his crew have really got the attention of the Americans in Somalia these days. No doubt everyone's noticed that the U.S. has gotten back into the game in Somalia these last couple months worried over the formerly burgeoning radical Islamist force. Now the U.S. is trying to capitalize on their defeat as the Islamic Courts Union has been pushed into the Southernmost corner of the country. The last two days have seen gunship and helicopter strikes in the area and apparently top al-Qaeda leadership is the target, with Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, allegedly the leader of the al-Qaeda in this area the number one target. It's really a mystery as to what is actually transpiring here. No one seems to know exactly what the al-Qaeda presence is here or if the United States is just connecting the dots to promote their version of the War on Terror. But what seems certain is that there are some bad dudes and the U.S. is trying to get them. The confusion is certainly displayed by the conflicting media reports on the situation. But what I've taken note of is the lack of results we have seen from US attacks on the last remaining ICU strongholds. Considering the numerous debacles the Americans have been involved with in the region you would think that the Americans would trumpet any success as quickly as possible. Where's the military announcement about Mohammed or one of his cohorts deaths? How about dead body images ala Uday and Qusay? Well we've seen none so far. Is the area still inaccessible, due to remaining ICU forces? There are apparently Special Forces in the area, perhaps they'll play a role in assessing the results of the attacks. I imagine considering the risk of another embarassment in Somalia the U.S. would have only acted in the region with likelihood of success being very probable. And considering how this story has become headline news around the world it is only a matter of time before the media begins to question the outcome. That's why I tend to think that the United States actions in the region are not yet over. They will want to conclude their mission with a positive message and that's when we'll probably hear about the high value targets. The end of America's current actions there could very well be marked by a big news kill whether it happens at the end of their action or it already has. Considering the pathetic results in the War on Terror so far one would think the U.S. would want a success once and a while. And if the U.S. combines Ethiopia's victory with some big hits on al-Qaeda it would be at the very least a large symbolic success. Anyway I probably don't know enough about the region and its history to be speculating, and this is probably a story who's details will never be fully revealed but it's damn interesting all the same. thedanreport.blogspot.com
  21. What I want to hear: How the hell we're going to hold off the Taliban in Afghanistan.
  22. There's now a video out on the internet of Saddam's body under a white sheet. Then some guy pulling it down to show his head and a large gash in his neck.
  23. Proud to say I've never plugged a toilet!
  24. Watched Green Street Hooligans tonight. Didn't know much about it before watching and was pleasantly surprised. Elijah Wood is a weird choice for the character but the rest of the characters are great. http://imdb.com/title/tt0385002/maindetails
