  5. Oh hell yeah. You can't BUY advertisment like that! There is not an amount you could spend to equal what the protesters have done in making people aware of this movie. I'm not sure they realize it, either.
  6. Hollywood always changes stuff. I did enjoy it, personally. And Dan Brown didn't say it was all fact. He fully admited it was just a good fiction story. Some people believe about the Priory of Scion being real and he really just expanded on that. I don't know if he personally believes in all of it, but he said in an interview on A&E that it was just a story. He was proud of being able to write a story that was capable of generating good discussion, but the book is fiction. As for me personally, you'll have to give me good, solid proof before I'll belive that Mary was Jesus's wife and had his daughter. Now, I'll credit you the theory that she was one of his disciples, maybe his top one, and the Church kinda buried that because she was a woman. Knowing what I know about Church history and medeval history, that is completly plausable to me. But that they were married? Na, I just don't see that. Slightly unrelated note, but we had lots of protests outside the theatre in town about how everyone's going to hell. One of the trailers played before DaVinci Code was for The Omen, a movie about the anti-christ. *LMAO*
  7. Ok. I know people here have seen it. Thought some might like to discuss it. Please remember, flames are bad. Unless it's a bonfire. With marshmellows. *mmmmm* *ahem* Anyways, I saw it this weekend, and I enjoyed it. I thought it was a very good story. I don't really think it was anything more than that, either. I've watched all the A&E documentarys and stuff on (and there's been a lot), and for all the theories and speculation and interpretations that people have, they're missing one key thing: proof. It's just a 'plausable theory'. So, no, I personally don't believe there is a code or that Jesus had a daughter. But I am interested in what those of you that saw it (or read it) think of the issue. Or heck, what you thought of the movie. For me, that's all it was. Good acting, good story, CRAPPY filming (yeah guys, take a hint...people do get motion sickness when you film the action scenes inside the action...it was like some dad or something was filming it with a really good quality camera). Anyhoo, that's my two cents on the matter.
  8. i use Wavepad myself....i originally got it for The Movies, but it works on mp3s as well.....

    Yes, I have fallen victum to that plague of teenage angst. XP Seriously, though, I was cleaning out my shelves, and ran across some oldies from high school. Goofy, yes, but not all that bad. I just had the insaine urge to share it. Man, I found so much great stuff! ; -- You are my heart my world I would givem y life for you But you don't see what you mean to me You look the other way You're my best friend but I wish it were more I want to be near you to touch you to hold you be your shoulder to cry on and the one you laugh with Your partner every step of the way with you... --- Road Trip Sitting here Standing there Bored out of my mind I wish I were out of here So I drive through the hills for the rest of my life just driving Uptown Downtown Watching the buildings go by Over river Under tree Seeing the cows by twos and threes All in good company while we're driving on a road trip through the valleys of life Seeing the years fall past people coming and go Laughing and losing Just driving -- Is it real? or just in my mind? Can I see? or am I blind? What did he just say? -- I sit here in band listening to the light notes floating gently by. ------- And now, for some fun, some poems that me and my classmates wrote back in third grade. Some of these are hilarious! -- first, a few of mine: I wish I could be as High as the birds And as free as the wind. Martian Landing There was once a martian His name was Lancing. One day, he came down To earth and picke Me up and off we went! I never expected a martian to come And show me the universe, But it happened. Blue is like A clam ocean climbing softly On the beach. -- and some of my favorites from my classmates. Space Lies I can jump to Pluto, Venus, Jupiter, And when I went to Mars I got some candy bars. I jumped all the way to Mercury And then I tried the sun But it didn't work so well It burned my bottom so bad I blasted right back to Earth. WEIRDOS ARE MEANT TO BE WEIRD Weirdos are a special kind of nerdy Elephants. In the old days if you were Really weird you would be a Disgrace. No you can be an Omnipotent weirdo like Steve Martian. Are you a weirdo? I think I'm a Really wearid weirdo. Even my dog is one. My weird talents don't have any Effect on my life. I think I'm an Anteater. Nobody knows what a weirdo is except The weirdo. The weirdo's life is not always an Orange peel dump. Being a weird never stops in your Everlasting life. Weirdos - Everybody likes them - a little. I don't understand my weird self. Real people are weirdos too. Don't ask me about weirdos, I'm a weirdo myself. My Life as Food I used to be a peanut, But now I'm peanut butter. I used to be wheat germ, But now I'm cream of wheat. I used to be dinner, But now I'm in the litter box. I'm Disappointed in Life Life is stupid You have ot go to school And you have to do housework You even have to get married - But the worst is kids. First Place Adventure I went to a native territory In Africa one day. I saw bushes, trees, and Animals. Say, I saw Ms. Jesser in a pot Being cooked by natives, you see, They were singin' The tribe song, "Guitarzan". Right under her, I saw dinosaur bones "Biggin's" they call 'em. They were worth a lot, no doubt. I saved Ms. Jesser and stole The bones and flew back to the states. I won the Nobel Prize for science To my surprise, and now, I live in royalty. YELLOW Yawning in the clear blue sky Every evening it falls out of the heavens Like a shooting star Losing sight of the precious color. Open up your Window and take in its beauty. (some limricks!) There once was a worm named Sammy. Who was unmistakeably clammy. He fell in the lake And said, "Goodness sake! I think I forgot how to swammy!" There once was an old man from Spain Who thought he was going insane. He got his kicks By playing with sticks And sticking htem into his brain. There once was a very strange man Who threw himself into a pan. He fried himself up And was served in a cup For he was a very strange man. There once was a girl from FreeFromm Who asked, "Can I go to the prom?" And when she got there She danced off her hair And went running home to her mom. one of mine, i could resist! (and some odd ones...it was basicly one line, and then the second line is almost a rimshot...that's the best i can describe it) I like your new mini, it's really a find, (Actually, the skirt is showing your behind.) My cats love to sit in freashly cleaned chairs, (But when they get up they leave all their hairs.) In winter it always snows snowflakes, (In summer I think it should pink pink rakes.) ------------- There you have it, a dreaded look into my past. If you're traumitzed, please send all complaints to someone else because I will just laugh. Meh.
  10. Antec makes some good cases....still around $150-$200 for the good ones though....your best bet is to hit the local computer parts store and see if they have any deals....you can get good ones online, but for a case i prefer to see it in person first.....
  11. it's not really basied on any of the games.....it has a lot of elements from the first two, i heard, but the storyline isn't really any of the game storylines.... and it's very rare for a movie to creep me out....this was just one of them.....
  12. Went to see that one yesterday. Now, I've not played much of the games, just enough to kinda see around the town. So I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was scenes of running around followed by scenes of terror. Seriously. I had trouble falling asleep last night. I can't really compare it to the games, but I enjoyed it. I had a tension headach afterwards because I was sitting there really tense during the 'air siren' scenes. Basicly, that's when all hell breaks loose. The zombies were really well done, and the first ones she encounters were the creepiest. Very odd ending, too, I'm really expecting a sequal. Not that it'll be very good, but the way it ends you know they'll have to continue it. Anyhoo, very graphic is places, very scary in places, EXCELLENT sound and music, and I much enjoyed it.
  13. I don't use that. Yahoo can acess lots of different POP3 mail accounts for you, so that's mostly what i use.
  14. i like it.....it almost looks like an after-image in fire.....
  15. Heh....interesting spin....Twilight AC....*giggles*......i wonder if it really still exists.....
  16. i was noticing a difference.....i'm not sure why, either.....
  17. that would be my guess....it's mis-tagged....but hell, if you do happen to find it mis-tagged, get it.....they'll give it to you for that price b/c that's the displayed price....if they don't, you can make a huge fuss and complain to the managers, etc.... as for that case, i'd have to see one in person, but it does look nice....the only thing is i'd like to find one with a firewire connection.....that was an old case i had borrowed for Quakecon last year, and it was much faster than the USB2 i'm using now.....i had to replace it b/c the fuse went out.....
  18. You pick an external hard drive the same way you pick an internal one. They're the same thing. The only thing you need to worry about is choosing a case. I usually get mine seperatly. It's a little bit cheaper that way.
  19. You'll find that the entire series on paper is much better than the movies. Not that I didn't like the movies. They put good faces with the names and helped me visualize the scale of some of the battles. But the books had so much more information in them and adds a great deal of depth that the movies lacked. The only problem is that Tolkien is very poetic and very descriptive, so a lot of people do get put off because of that. Which I think is a shame, because he had a gift for bringing a fantasy world to life through his words.
  20. Sphere is one of my favorite Chricton books.....at the moment i'm re-reading The Elienum, by David Eddings.....good fantasy series, good characters...i like reading most of his stuff because he's got a good sense of humor....it's not Discworld type humor, but a bit more realistic i think....
  21. and it's in the wrongh place......anyhoo, here's mine....
