Only 3 of KP's are from me...and I don't think any were odd ones like the 4 saying -1 karma lol.  Seems he got 3 on me as well...2 of them tarnish any mean image I may have been attempting to build lol.  KP's just a big teddy bear....puddy tat...awww lol

*rolls ball of string out for Loup and KP to fight over....Takes bets on who will bite the other first*

okay off topic, but is anyone looking forward to seeing (no pun intended) Blindness? the novel was one of the best i've read in years.

na it does look intrestion to me, it kind of looks like the happaneing anyone here of that?

From what I've seen on TV for previews, is it shot primarily like how Cloverfield was?

no i don't think so Cloverfield was a monster movie shot in FPV this is like a horro movie.

Hrm, that FPV made the tension higher in Cloverfield...more immersed you in the scene.  The Blair Witch Project was good in this sense (and about only this lol).

I only thought that from the few clips I saw in the commercials and the narrator saying 'nobody knew what happened....until now'.  My wife won't be seeing this movie in theatres, so I'll probably be waiting until DVD.  Most of my friends that like these movies as well, wait until DVD since theatre prices are just....bad.

Speaking of Cloverfield, i actually really enjoyed that movie. Monster movies are often poorly done, but Cloverfield was a refreshing take on the genre.....though i hear rumblings of a sequel.

Not sure if i like that.....

Blindness does seem interesting Dys, i hadnt heard of it before, again, a near original look on a done to death genre but with one very special thing.

Danny Glover.

Is he one of the most underated actors these days. I dont mean the lethal weapon years, but lately he has had some terrific roles and pulled them off brilliantly, but has kinda gone under the rader somewhat.

Aye...I think my personal favorite scene in the movie was them ducked between the cars while the military comes by firing away.  The feeling of being small in comparison to the event at hand and the magnitude of what's going on I think was at it's peak at that point.

The ending however, for the irony it entails, gets honorable mention. /bows

This movie was the first movie in a long time that I've stayed all the way thru the credits, just to see if they had some news footage as a followup to what happened in NY.

Yup...i did the same!

Here is a pic of one of the early conceptualization for the movie.  They really should have stayed with it...

Now that's scary!  

Sentient species taste better...

nice pic KP.

Blindness (the novel) wasn't a "suspense" story. IMHO it was more like one of those stories about how fragile "civilization" really is, and how easily human beings can and usually do revert to a state of barbarism. but it wasn't as simple as that, as all that depravity and inhumanity was juxtoposed against people who were sensitive, deeply compassionate and openly vulnerable. Sarmago won the novel prize for a reason. i'm just hoping the movie holds a candle to the novel.

hey guys, i have an idea. instead of complaining about Harbourne, who is indeed a turd (to put it very, very nicely), i'm going to show him that he's got nothing on us.  i'm gonna to set a goal for myself of playing at least 50 ZYWs over the next 2 weeks. it won't be easy, since i don't exactly have a lot of spare time, but i'll find a way to do it.

don't get me wrong, i'm not going all "think positive" or anything. competition is good, and this is the sorta thing that'll only bring us closer to the flealines and first place.

I dont think Harborne will take notice or even care. *shrug*

BTW, I broke my personal ZYW record today, scoring 100,450.

Sentient species taste better...

nice!

i think he'll notice, personally, just never admit it. but i don't think he'll overtake the top 3 any time soon. he's at 5 million, looking at almost 9 million just to overtake the dilopmats, 13 million for us, and 25 million for y'all.

that's a looong road.
