I know that i am prolly the only snarkpit member keeping up with the "Enterprise" series, but they are presently making Archer, even more legendary that either Kirk, or Picard.

i am so happy with the direction the series is taking, they are not only filling in the gaps before Kirks time, but they are creating answers for questions no one asked yet.

i just hope, it breaks their 7 year barrier that the trek universe has established.. enterprise the series has much to do yet.



yeah, i also like this enterprise serie, especaily when you watch it since the beginning.

Apparently, the journalists at the foreign press disagree with your view. Clive Owen just got nominated for the Golden Globe award for his role in "Closer" (so did Natalie Portman and the director, Mike Nichols).

I am going to watch "Kinsey" this afternoon. I've been waiting, and the Golden Globe nomination just pushed me over the edge.

Anyone seen "Sideways"? I am not sure I'll like it, knowing the type of film and the plot.


Doesn't mean they're right.

"Kinsey" does much more than just satisfying the prurient interests of its audience. It illustrates how love and sex are inextricably intertwined. They can exist independently of one another, but neither is truly complete without their complement.

More commendably, it deals with the issue of homosexuality without trivializing the subject. The Canadian Supreme Court has already legitimized marriage between the same sexes recently, but the Puritanistic Americans are yet to follow. Unfortunately, there are still many religious zealots who wave the flag of morality and impede tolerance with their ignorance.

I highly recommend the film. Not only does it digest philosophical questions, but it's a good drama to behold. [addsig]

Why is religion the only thing that is not tolerated in our "tolerant" society? Everything is supposed to be accepted EXCEPT CHURCH. KEEP THAT GODDAMN CHURCH OUT OF OUR HOLIDAYS AND CITIES! It's silly. The reason religious ppl don't tolerate gayness is because thier main religious text tells them it's wrong. It's not ignorance, What is ignorance is trying to reproduce with someone of the same sex.

That's the problem right there. The religious text is written by man and interpreted by man. Even though the writing is allegedly inspired by God, it is nevertheless man's work.

To me, it is a dangerous fallacy to follow blindly what's written by people, whatever the inspiration. According to the religious interpretation of the Bible in the past, slavery is proudly endorsed by God. And I would be very scared if you still believe this way.

To keep an open mind about things is paramount, and religion, by definition, narrows one's thinking.

And I bet most religious people believe that homosexuals actually have a choice to feel that way. Why would anyone willingly choose a lifestyle that is widely scorned and potentially damage them socially and financially? Do ethnic minority have a choice about their racial background?

I'm not saying religion is wrong. All I am saying is that it's important to keep an open mind and not judge other human beings based on their race, gender, age, and sexual orientation. It is possible to believe in God and still be openminded.

And you're ignorant if you believe homosexuals are all stupid enough to think that babies are going to result from their actions. I don't really feel like turning this into another "gay" thread, but if you keep posting ignorant s**t like that I may just have to. [addsig]

Of course it's ignorant for those of a religious disposition to scorn homosexuals because it says so in the bible (and even then I bet it doesn't say it directly!). Religion is something that is usually best kept off forums as it causes more grief than it's worth, as we all have different views, and it'll just spoil this thread.

Keep to the subject and create another thread where we can discuss why homosexuals are bad but if you do something bad, all you need to do is ask forgiveness and all will be forgotten....

Anyway, my copy of Napoleon Dynamite arrived today and i'm hoping it's as good as all the reviews say it is!

That's out on DVD now? I so need to pick up a copy of it. Best. Movie. Ever.

Well, not really, but it's chock full of my type of humor, so I love it. A lot of people don't get it, when in reality theres nothing to get. It's just a mishmash of events in this really pathetic guys life, and it's brilliant because of it. [addsig]

It should be out Monqui as i've imported it from your neck of the woods...

It's only just hit the cinemas here so I thought I might as well save myself the journey to the cinema and the nasty smells of all the foodstuffs they allow in there these days. Whatever happened to good old popcorn and M&Ms?!

That's really weird, I just looked up it's release date on DVD, and the only date I'm finding is the 21st. Which sucks, because that means I'll have to fight off angry patrons a few days before Christmas in order to get a copy. Also, I noticed that Garden State comes out on DVD here on the 28th. In case you haven't seen or heard of that movie, I would highly suggest it. Great film.

Although I do find it odd that CDNow offers a deal where you can buy the two of them together for a discounted price, considering the two movies are almost completely different. [addsig]

What do they do, let people smoke in the theaters?

I've just seen Bourne Supremacy. I thought it was pretty good, about even with it's predecessor actually. I may have to pick up those books sometime too.

I see your points. Some religious ppl go TOO far and take everything LITERALLY. But its not all supposed to be taken that way. Anyway, that's enough religion.

Yes it is.

TB, Try looking around GoodWill. I went to the one in Hillsboro (on Bethany) and got a '75 hardback edition of "The Bourne Identity" for $1.99

Yes, and I've NEVER seen ANY book over $4.99 there. The only problem is you really have to look for what you want. The books are always out of order and such.

It's pretty impressive some of the things people give to GoodWill, especially taking the type of people who usually shop there (opposed to being able to afford department stores and such).
One time a friend of mine was there and he was looking around the electronics people brought in and he saw a fairly decent LaserDisc player. He shrugged it off, "Why would I need a LaserDisc player, even if the video quality is better then DVD. I wouldn't be able to find anything good". So, he stumbled onto the laserdiscs, just to see if they actually had anything. And BAM, Empire Strikes Back. In the excited huff he ran back to get the LaserDisc so he could purchase it with ESB (A combined total of $15), but to no avail, the LD player was gone. He rushed back over to the LaserDiscs and a woman holding the LD player was also holding Empire Strikes Back ... Not to mention he didn't get either since she bought them.

I just finished watching The Grudge [the japanese 2003 remake]. It starts off a little boring but gets freakier throughout the film. Those eyes! Those freaky eyes!!! The ending was confuzing aswell.

*spoiler* Did anyone else find it freaky when the woman was in her bed, then the kid was next to her [or was it the other way around] and then the girl is above her, **** did that make me crap my pants!

Currently watching "Earth Sea" *yea DVR*

I am rather disturbed with all the borrowed content in the theme/story line.

i am currently at the "hogwarts" portion of the program, which only recently ended the "Jason and the Argonaut" part..

I hope this show improves a bit, cause i have been waiting for it for months. :/

[edit]

oh god, now i am at the "Lord of the rings" portion.. some omnipotent being thing is after the lead character
