Ariblaze blazed and got so high he achieved escape velocity. Now he has the head of an elephant and several extra legs. Plus extra of the other leg and he thinks he knows how to please a woman. I saw, I conquered, I came is how one dude sees it. We used to eat each other raw and nothing has changed.

Vesc feels better

Bradley Cooper isn't nearly dark enough for a character like The Crow. We'll see sha

i tink figurine, titanic, silence of d lambs , and so on,
For a Nigerian film, The Figurine's ending was genius but overcomplicated and inconsistent. Ramsey Noah's character went completely loco

[quote author=cece.tanna link=topic=801834.msg9545827#msg9545827 date=1321186765]"Buried" was really such an annoyin movie for me. Just one man thruout d film and he even died at the end.[/quote]I understand why you don't like it but I loved it. If they coulda not put in those videos I'd have liked it eved more. That way everything woulda happened in the wooden box with only other people's voices.

la furia:
1. Duplicity.
2.angels and demons
3.shutter island but confusin 2 me.
Duplicity was awesome at the end. It was a little much ado about nothingish but the end was great. It reminds me of John Grisham's book, The Partner which I heard was made into a movie. Shutter Island is not so confusinf, check out the Movie Conundrums thread, it was treated there.

Have you seen Beyond a Reasonable Doubt? One of the most shocking endings ever. And the recent film, The Big Bang. Pretty good ending too
Christianity Etc › Re: Speed Of Light, Time, Einstein, And An Extra-universal Timeline. by vescucci(m): 3:04pm On Nov 12, 2011
Oh dear, I'm late to the party.


Let's be real. Nothing happens without something else happening and so on. The Big Bang is the best explanation for the birth of the universe but I don't think it means absolutely nothing happened/happens before the Big Bang. The scientist's stance of refuting everything without proof, as long as it leans towards the probability that God or some 'thing' that's responsible for all there is, is fanatical to me. The cyclic redundancy that is posed to theists about who created God is the same as asking what caused the Big Bang? My position is that we're here now, whether we like it or not and we've not been here forever. There are some things we'll never know. The universe MUST be finite. At the same time, it MUST be infinite if it is to be ALL there is.

It's easy to see the conflict of terms between KAG and Deepsight/Justcool. An integral part of being a good scientist is suppressing one's instincts and intuition because they're resultant from millennia of conditioning which is usually at odds with the big picture or at least as big as we can fathom. Justcool defined time as a continuum into which events happen but that should not necessarily be a problem for KAG for the Big Bang should be the first ever event and consequently, time would've started when the Big Bang happened and vice versa.

To say that time is immeasurable without matter and motion of matter is correct but time is terribly relative. Time may stand still somewhere and be moving elsewhere. Take Justcool's analogy for two moving cars. If one is faster than the other, they do not experience time the same way. And there are countless interactions such as this. Deepsight is talking something that I understand but cannot fully articulate. Perhaps I can call it the sum total of these interactions. The mind boggles when you ask yourself what is before the Big Bang. If there is nothing, then there effectively is no time. But was there really nothing before the Big Bang. Is the Big Bang really more than merely the best explanation for the birth of the universe currently available and nothing more?

I suffer because I'm usually caught between a deistic POV and an atheistic one. In my gut, I know there's a God. But my gut feeling is not proof of anything. But then, cuz I have no proof of something does not mean it doesn't exist either. I have a feeling I'll regret saying this but proof/evidence is overrated
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Do You Want To Make Heaven/paradise by vescucci(m): 1:49pm On Nov 12, 2011
Most 'pious' people are more scared of going to hell than they're intrigued by going to heaven

Btw, can someone explain to me the difference between heaven and paradise or is it just an us against them thing like I think it is?
TV/Movies › Re: Is Nollywood Rivaling Black Hollywood? by vescucci(m): 1:43pm On Nov 12, 2011
Well written article but the writer is overly positive about Nollywood. Taraji didn't over react though I can't be sure about the reason for her omission.

Is this the longest iice post in like three decades? Probably not but it must come close
TV/Movies › Re: T.v Series Or Movies? by vescucci(m): 1:19pm On Nov 12, 2011
Series are addictive. Movies give you the 'going to the amusement park' feel. The only way to know which one you prefer is to ask yourself which one you would give up forever if forced to. I'll keep my movies
TV/Movies › Movies With The Most Surprising/twisted Endings by vescucci(op): 1:11pm On Nov 12, 2011
Many films I've seen become my favourites just cuz of the ending. They're usually preceded by an hour and a half of 'drab' buildup. The ending makes everything else understandable

There're the usual suspects including films like: The Usual Suspects, Fight Club, Memento etc but among the not so popular ones, which films have your favourite endings?

Literature › Re: Which Novels Can You Read Over And Over Like The First Time? by vescucci(m): 8:54pm On Nov 07, 2011
I cannot watch a film till at least three years after and it of course has to be a very good film. I get bored easily. Same thing goes for books. Why read a book again when there are a billion others to read?

The only books I've read again are:

Apcalypse Watch - Robert Ludlum
Animal Farm - George Orwell

I cannot even remember any more

TV/Movies › Re: James Bond new Film Called Skyfall! by vescucci(m): 10:49am On Nov 07, 2011
I criticized David Craig at first cuz he wasn't suave enough and too much of a brute but the fact is, take away what most consider a deviation from the traditional Bond character, his films are the deepest where he even managed to freaking fall in love and watch her die. His character is the only Bond to show emotion as far as emotions go. I do not want him to be replaced by one dandy.

Asides all that, I've not really more than a couple of pages of Ian Fleming's books cuz as a kid, I'd heard of the films before I even knew someone wrote them. But someone once said the previous Bonds have been misrepresenting the true Bond a la Craig. So in short, c'est finis
