Hey, everyone, I just saw this last night with my girlfriend...
I really liked it. I think we've all had at least one time in our lives when we needed a little extra help, and this story just exemplifies that. It's inspirational- I don't think I've ever seen Will Smith excersize his acting chops like this before, and by the end of the movie, you're excited for him as he begins to succeed.
It's an amazing movie. Has anyone else seen it? Any different thoughts?

not yet, might have to go check that out when I have some time and money

I really liked that movie. It had a really good point on things.
-
I haven't seen it yet. In fact, if it doesn't have goo dspecial effects, I usually wait for a movie to come out on DVD before I see it. I'm only willing to pay $10.00 a ticket for eye candy. :P

Not all movies worth seeing are eye candy. Some have worthwhile stories.
-kv
-
Oh I totally agree with that. But I want to see big special effects on a big screen. For story and content, I prefer my own living room.

It's so you can get all teared up and cry, isn't it? You learned your lesson from watching Titanic in theaters, didn't you?
-kv

Actually, I think I'm the only one in the world who hasn't EVER seen that movie. And I don't intent to. I know how it ends. The ship sinks. :-\
Gabriel

We're all friends here, Gabe. You don't have to lie to us.
It's okay that the tragedy of Jack and Rose's love brought you to tears.

*Hands Gabe a tissue* It's okay just let it out...want a twinkie?
-
I'm serious. I've never seen the movie. And see, I figured the ship would make it in the end what with the Phantom being on board and all. But if he couldn't save the day, then I guess it was just doomed from the start.
Gabriel
PS - But I WILL take that Twinkie.
-
*Hands Gabe a twinkie* There you go chum!
-
*pats Gabe on back for tears he can't admit to crying*
It's okay, buddy. We're here for you.

Maybe we should rename this thread In Pursiut of Twinkies?

You're not.

Great Ghost!!! I'm as cynical as... as... as ROOTless!! I'm not sure how to feel about that. ;)
Gabriel
-
So how exactly is everyone's stock of twinkies?! Oh wait is this the right thread...ROOTless you haven't seen Titanic! What is this world coming to...you weren't part of the multimillion nuyen opening weekend?!
-
You could feel okay, about it, I guess. I do.
I've actually never seen Titanic either. I didn't have a girlfriend at the time, so my friends who got dragged to see it (many times) and said that there WERE manly parts (apparently some dude and a propeller), I just laughed in thier faces.
After I eventually had a girlfriend again, she wanted me to see it, and I refused. I see it as girly emotion-porn. It's the story about a woman who feels so out of place, and the man who isn't her type, but makes her feel loved, and helps her see the world in a completely new way. *shudder*
Girly emotion-porn. It's about the feelings.

I just smote you for giving me drek in a hypocritical way. BAD DECKER!!!
Gabriel
-
What? I didn't say that I had seen it, only that you needed to admit it made you cry.
You can smite me- I've got extra karma.
-kv
-
Just wait another hour, and I'll smite you again.
Gabriel
-
Bring it on, kemosabe. I got a lot of extra karma, and I'm not doing anything with it.

Alright think of Titanic as an ancient Shadowrun movie. Basically Jack could be a runner who just didn't make it. He was tryin to steal the diamond, and he got to slap some skins in the process. He just didn't make it all the way to cash out. Okay wait, no that movie is nothing like shadowrun, what am I thinking. Tryin to phylisophical or somedrek...alright I'm done with this.
-
See, this is when I wish we still had the Positive and Negative collumns. I miss seeing all my negative karma. :::sniffle:::
Gabriel
-
It's okay, Gabe. You'll always have negative karma to me. :D
-kv
-
LOL, thanks, but I like it to be on display. Although I know I'm not the king of it anymore.
Gabriel
-
Wait, who has more negative karma than you?
-kv
-
Speaking of Karma can I get mine transfered from my other name I don't use anymore?! Or is it lost in the metaplanes forever?!
-
Nobody laugh at me please, but I have a question...... I was noticing that there is a place on my name that mentions Karma. Outta curiuosity how do you gain Karma?
-
Like that. Once you reach a certain amount of posts, 500 I think, you are granted the power to give and take Karma from other members. It's really nothing more than a way to reward or punish someone for posts they have posted in the past and things they have done. For instance, if someone makes a very good point in a discussion thread, I might give them a point of Karma for it. On the other hand, if someone gets torqued off that Ruski is making "Gabriel's Mother" jokes again, I might take a point away.
When this system first started, we had two columns, one for positive karma and one for negative karma. It was possible to have say 25 points of negative karma and 10 points of positive karma, thus giving you an overall score of -15 karma. Now it is just the one column which can still be negative. Ingo Monk (our sysop) can post the actual historical karma log for your profile (say +35, -82) but only does it upon request.
For quite a while I was the Negative Karma King. But, alas, no more. I did, however, have the destinction of being the MOST karmic person on the board for a bit. It's nice to know you can make an impact. ;)
Gabriel

thank you, thank you. I think I got it now.... :)

Wiz. Keep posting and you'll be able to smite us sooner than you know it.

Smite Gabe. He's a glutton for punishment, and it's good practice. ;D

Actually, I'm only a glutton for Zone smiting me. Sometimes I just love the rough stuff. (http://members.cox.net/gwire/Smily - Spanka.gif)
