Lol. Wetin.I.do.na? I'm.not.into.Fox.o. I.only.said.she.was.fine. .
And.that.name. .Jk.Fox. .sounds.funny. .lol

Sure Mr Fox, whatever you say but we all know the truth

I've.not.seen.a.movie.in.5.or.6.weeks. I've.reali.been.busy.with.things.not.Fox.related. .lol
So.pick.from.the.pool.
Wat.movie?

We can do 12 Monkeys next though I'll need a refresher as its been a while since I've seen.

I think its too bad that oftentimes we refuse to see certain movies because of who's in it . . . sometimes we miss out.
That being said I will still not see anything containing Geroge Clooney . . . what kind of movie is "The men who stare at goats"? have they been consulting Nollywood for movie titles?

  No2A, if you're looking for a mind stimulating movie - this is definitely one! I think even though its not an "enjoyable" movie, its a powerful one with a lasting message - how often do we see movies that make us better as human beings?

As a side note, Dobbs will fit in nicely with FOXNEWS  .

I wish FOX would mellow down with the opinion shows though and do more local, world news stories . . . sometimes it seems like one long endless rant against the present admin.

bawomolo:
latinos are safe for now

lol, indeed for now.

  I like Dobbs though I frequently disagree with him. CNN is making a big mistake by letting him go and sticking to the "reporting" only and not "opinion" shows . . . small wonder why they are last in news ratings behind MSNBC and FOX.

  As one analyst put it, in these times where information travels in seconds, people do not tune in to listen to news anymore, they tune in to get analysis of the news. CNN is slowly becoming irrelevant . . . Anderson Cooper will not bring in ratings, neither will Blitzer. Their one bright star is Campbell Brown, the rest of them put me to sleep too often.

Yeah I've seen it, I mentioned it remember? Law Abiding Citizen. It was a fantastic, promising storyline that unfortunately lost steam in the last quarter.

naliakar:
they call it the Indian summer. (I don't know whether this is a good way to refer to the short unusually warm spell just preceding the onset of winter. It smacks of those disparaging attributes that  the west is wont to give one to reinforce their minority and unusual status.

lol . . . well I guess that's one way of looking at it. I haven't heard the term before though . . . it must truly be rare, but I sure ain't complaining about 70s in November.

Do not get me wrong. What he did was horrible and the loss he occasioned can never be reclaimed. I am questioning the aptness of death it self as a form of punishment. May be there are philosophical issues to raise about the eventuality of death as a suitable deterrence. But then, I am also reminded of death as was to metted out on Amina lawal ij Nigeria if you may recall  for adultery, or as metted out in Somalia just last week or as is often undertaken in Saudi Arabia.

Okay so what do you personally suggest we as a society do with these kinds of barbaric criminals? what will serve as just and due punishment for their heinous crimes?

@Jesoul

Hallo. It is getting colder here at Waltham if you get my drift.

Its in the 70s today though . . . I've been wondering whether its November or whether its Summer lol.

Now the execution my be considered punitive based on current Virginia laws. But it one of those last acts of meting justice that is inhuman and should be done away with eventually. Death penalty is no punishment even for atrocious acts such as committed by Muhahamed.

I don't see how you can say that. What punishment do you suggest he should be served with? Why does he get to keep his life when he took the lives of 10 innocent people? the youngest he shot was a 13yr old on his way to school. That this monster has been permitted to live the past 7yrs while his victims lie 6 feet deep is in itself an injustice.

Some of you may recall when this dude held the entire MD/DC area hostage. I even watched the movie they made out of this a while back.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/11/10/virginia.sniper.execution/index.html

Washington (CNN) -- J[b]ohn Allen Muhammad, the mastermind of the 2002 sniper attacks that terrorized the suburbs of the nation's capital, is scheduled to die by lethal injection Tuesday evening at a state prison[/b] near Jarratt, Virginia. Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine denied a clemency request from Muhammad's lawyers, closing off what is likely to be his last avenue of appeal.

Prosecutors say Muhammad, fueled by grudges against the Army and his ex-wife, plotted the cross-country shooting rampage, culminating in a killing spree in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs surrounding Washington, D.C,

During three weeks in October 2002, Muhammad and Malvo killed 10 people and wounded three, while taunting police with written messages and phoned-in threats and demands.
It could have been much worse. During Muhammad's second trial in Maryland, Malvo testified that Muhammad originally planned to kill up to six people each day for 30 days. Indeed, after killing five people during the first 24 hours, the sniper team began the second day scouting for locations for another barrage of shootings. But, concerned about possible witnesses and the lack of escape routes, they slowed their deadly pace.

My only comment is I wonder why it took 7 years.

common Karma . . .

Im tempted NOT to see "Precious" cos of Monique and Mariah

why must they ruin films with shitty actors, na by force?

lol . . . Mariah I understand but what did Monique do now? lol

Right on point. These rampant executions are probably their own special, twisted way of population control.

A-40 accept it brother, the Steelers are boring to watch. You manage to stay occupied with them cos they're your boys   I usually don't last beyond the 2nd Q.

The AFC North has always been reputed for smash mouth defence and hard running. its never been entertaining, unless you into S&M.

What's S&M?

Eagles v Chargers should also be interesting. I hope the get some hard hits on that stupid Rivers guy.

Interesting indeed. Last week was confirmation why putting your faith in the eagles is always a dicey gamble . . . you just never know which McNabb is going to show up. And why do you hate Rivers now? the dude is tough . . .

lol . . . "Fox got ur tongue" . . . LOL    JK take a break from Megan and come and answer Max now.

Two things could be true here:
1. that there is no event of significance that has occured anywhere in the world in recent times that TB Joshua did not have foreknowledge of
   or
2. it is all BS

  . . . I'm inclined towards the latter.

Where is Bawo to taunt Kyle Orton?

Steelers D has always been solid. But geez is it only me, I find a lot of their games terribly boring to watch . . . kinda like the Spurs of basketball.

The inclusion of Cameron is enough for me not to see it.

Yet another reason why people should not pay so much attention so these 'critics'. Karma forget your aversion to Diaz, she was solid in this flick.

Are you guys surprised.
I've been dealing with these folks on this forum long enough to know them like the circumference of my akara ball.
If this had been about a pastor ,you would have seen abubaba and his gang of 40 thieves dancing owanbe on the thread

ROTFLOL that one na real intimate knowledge
But you're right. If this were a thread about a wayward pastor the number of muslims registering present to voice their disdain would be far far greater than it is here.

 Besides what is wrong with his suggestion of the king cobras? the firing squad would be too easy an exit for that murderer

Lol you would know about that wouldn't you?


@topic,
I have just one word . . . disgusting.

[quote author=pres-elect link=topic=348027.msg4890074#msg4890074 date=1257784369]@jesoul,

contrary to general opinion, hanging is one of the most painless means of dying. unless the hangman is inexperienced. hanging clips the spinal cord at level C3-C6 (somewhere in the neck behind the ear------->instant death.) . . firing sguad on the other hand can lead to immediate death in the executioner is experienced. a bullet in the head end it all.

i maintain my suggestion, get 'em in a closed pit with some starved and upset 200 King Cobras or Black Mambas per terrorist. the king cobra strikes and knocks its victim down, he continues to strike until the victim gets out of the way, meanwhile once struck the poison knocks down the victim, he cant get out of the way, he recieves more strikes, in about an hour he is struggling with the pain of the strikes as well as the neurotoxic venom of the snake. and more importantly it will cost the taxpayer 0$ . . . see, at the end the cobras have something to feed on and wait for the next terrorist [/quote]lol A man after my own heart. It's too bad we have to contend with misplaced 'ethics' in order to carry out this apt and fitting suggestion of yours.

 [quote author=pres-elect link=topic=348027.msg4891575#msg4891575 date=1257796763]correct me if i'm wrong, are some people trying to defend/justify/explain the actions of that beast?

i have tried to fight the knee jerk response to align muslims with terror in this forum but to start explaining stuff like . . you know . . u got to be a muslim to experience how these people feel . . . bla . . bla . . bla . . . brainless bla

let me say this, u gotta be dead to experience what those victims experienced. while i still maintain that muslims should not be aligned with terror, i must state emphatically that the hoodlum at fort hood is a terrorist. a coward, noncompoop, does not deserve to live and he is only fit for the Cobras to kill slowly before eating.[/quote]I wonder myself. And if only more muslims here on NL would sound like you Prez, perhaps those "knee-jerk" associations might not be so justifiably popular.

 This is the problem many of us have as yeswecan voiced above: How many of them here on NL have come outright to reject in the strongest of terms this tragedy? Aren't we right to assume their unified silence as is typical, is indicative of the fact that they are indifferent or even approve of these terrorist acts?

Well . . . I don't wanna inadvertently include spoilers as its tough to describe. It's fiction, scary, dark, delightful atimes, emotional, even horror, weird, complicated . . . seriously, you'll need at least 20-30 descriptors in order to capture this movie. And the relationship btw Mardsen and Diaz was just beautiful, and not in the superficial, fake, unrealistic typical hollywood type of rubbish love, no this was solid, human and real - the kind that everybody hopes for. It gave the movie a very tangible, relational type of feel, like it could really and actually be ordinary you in their shoes.

I'm laughing now cos I came across this review online from someone who saw it and felt[b] exactly [/b] as I did lol, especially the last paragraph below! I guess I ain't crazy afterall:

Wow, this certainly isn’t what I expected from the relatively benign interview I saw of star James Marsden on “Live with Regis and Kelly.” It’s dark, drear, and troubling. It starts like a fairly straight forward thriller, and then descends into weirdness involving scenes that are phantasmagorical.

Norma and Arthur Lewis (Cameron Diaz and Marsden), comprise a young married couple with a young son, having financial problems. Out of the blue their doorbell rings and there stands a facially disfigured Arlington Steward (Frank Langella), holding a box with a button on top. He explains to them that if they press the button they will be given $1 million in cash, tax free, but if they push it someone they don’t know will die.

In the movie, Norma presses the button (this happens at the beginning of the film, so it’s not a spoiler; I’m not letting anything out of the bag; Writer-director Richard Kelly has pulled out all the stops. Well acted by Langella, Diaz, and Marsden, what genre this could be is anybody’s guess. It’s definitely a thriller, but it could also be classified as sci-fi and/or horror.

The film presents a moral dilemma without being particularly judgmental, although there is one unfortunate short piece of dialogue where it seems to be making some sort of political statement. Despite that, overall it handles it in a manner that leaves one thinking.

I can’t say I enjoyed this movie, in the ordinary definition of “enjoy,” but it did keep me involved and it did cause me to think about it long after I left the theater. To me, that’s one good definition of an entertaining movie.

The last part is so true . . . this is not an enjoyable movie in the traditional sense, like I said, I'm not even sure I 'liked' it. But I took away so much as a human being.

Fort Hood shooting suspect conscious, talking, hospital says
http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/11/09/fort.hood.shootings/index.html

    I wonder how much taxpayer money is being wasted to keep this murderer alive. It's quite unfortunate he didn't die, I would've emptied my entire clip into his head, got more bullets and emptied them in his chest    there is nothing I despise more than cold, heartless murderers.

   Listen to the heart wrenching stories of the 13 innocent people - mothers, husbands, fathers, sons whose lives have been taken. Many more fighting for their lives in the hospital. He must get the death penalty - by firing squad or hanging, not that painless, useless needle injection.

I'll def check The Box out. I always enjoy Marsden's movies.

Please do. Even if you end up feeling weird too, I think the moral of the story is a very powerful one that everyone should contemplate.

Yeah its mostly a 'pysch ward' movie. I thought it was okay though . . . a little odd and strange but okay.

I saw "The Box" this past weekend starring Cameron Diaz and James Mardsen.

It was not what I expected at all, the trailers do not do it sufficient justice. It was complicated, weird, unsettling, strange, creepy, scary, confusing, captivating, riveting, crazy, freaky, fascinating, emotional . . . infact I don't think I've ever walked away from a movie feeling as strange, creeped out and confused but yet as touched and moved as I was.

   I will ponder the moral and ethics of the story for a very very long time to come BUT yet I'm not sure how to rate or classify this movie or if I even 'liked' or enjoyed it     confused? yeah me too. Ya'll please do me a favor and go see it and help me get some closure. Jk, we must definitely review this one soon . . .
