Steve D

Been away again. This time in Modesto, California for another funeral. I'm so far behind in my studies, it's not funny. The quarter system is pure stress. I stayed at my cousin's home in San Jose for a few days while my folks remained in Modesto for the reading of the will. Well, sad news over.

How are things going on the board? Anyone else drop out? Anyone else selling their fpw stuff? I missed out on a chance to buy that copy of The Last Rakosh on eBay. Damn! Are those things really that rare? Seems that everyone who owns one is holding on to theirs. That's what makes them rare, I guess.

Okay, now on to the title of this post: movie characters you hate to hang with even though it's a great movie. Here's some of my un-favorites:

1. Raging Bull--I saw this movie once, loved it, but Jake LaMotta is not a person/character I'd want to spent another evening with.

2. Gladiator--Joaquin Phoenix played such a perfect a--hole in the role of the Emperor that I could not watch that movie again without the fast forward.

3. Wedding Crashers--Two morons; I shutter to think that I actually sat through this movie.

4. Any Austin Powers movie--Virtually every character Mike Myers plays in this series rubs me the wrong way. Fingernails on the blackboard please.

5. Cheaper by the Dozen (new version, parts one and two)--Does anyone remember when Steve Martin used to be funny? I hope he doesn't mess up The Pink Panther.

That's it for now. I'm avoiding the Political threads with a passion, although it would seem most threads nowadays are getting a little edgy. There should be a warning sign on that Brokeback Mountain thread; either that or =really= delete it. There are enough votes for the deletion, I think. I'll get back to you on other threads we should censure. Back to school now. Stay healthy. I'm freaking out on all the funerals I've been to lately. Ta.

Kicked ass!

Favorite line (no spoilers):

Where were the fluorocarbons when you needed them?

God, I love Jack. Pure fun.

Paul, typo in the beginning: "He’d designated April 19tKing Kong Day"

Let Steve know before THRILLER goes to press.

I really enjoyed this flic. I was expecting the cliche comedy, like the American Pie movies, cheap little funny lines. To my amazement, this movie was excellent. Here is a little synopsis for those that might be interested.

A 40 year old man works at an eletronic store. Basically, the guys at work invite him to play poker one night. They find out that he is still a virgin, and try to help him get back into the game.

i don't want to give anything away. Seems simple enough, but the story is pretty well made, and like I said it really keeps you watching.

Dare we hope? Could this be true?

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening (depending where you are) everyone!

I am having some difficulty locating CrissCross in paperback. Does anyone know when the release date on it is?

I was at the North Carolina School of the Arts web site and viewed a couple of student films that forum members might like. They run 15 - 20 minutes. Broken Sword is directly in the link below. Follow the link to Other Student Films for more. Buddy is also good, if you like musicals about pizza delivery boys.

The link: NCSA: Broken Sword.

I was outbid for this ARC of The Last Rakosh on eBay. Get a load of what these bring!

This question may be considered minor spoilers so if you haven't read Reprisal yet proceed with caution.

So near the beginning of the book it's mentioned that Will has a theory as to why the mystery call only affects land lines and not cell phones. But that theory is never explained that I recall. Can anyone shed light on this subject?
