Reply to Can the King dethrone Titanic?? in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

It really does make me sad that Titanic is the top grossing film worldwide, I hope ROTK kicks its ass. And now a little free association: Bernard Hill played the captain of the ship in Titanic and played King Theodin in LOTR, so regardless, this fairly unkown actor will likely be in the two top grossing (worlwide) films of all time. And, having absolutely nothing to do with ROTK, but important because it was the last movie I saw before ROTK: Kate Winslet was in T

Reply to Review: Return of the King in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

Something about this movie didn't QUITE sit well with me. Perhaps because it seemed like it was ALL action, but I missed the character development that you get in the first two (particularly the extended versions). That being said, the movie, overall all, did not dissapoint, but I'm a little sad, because this was something I had been waiting for for months, and now its over, what meaning does my life have now,,,,boohoo. Anyways, IF peter jackson doesn't get the oscar i will be pissed

Reply to Lord of the Rings: Aragorn, Numenor, Elrond, and Galadriel in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

A little bit of a spoiler for the last movie, so don't read if you haven't seen it.... I am so impressed with how much you all know, I know the movies fluff over some things and that it was hard for jackson to go into great detail, but I've wondered about a line i heard from elrond in the last movie (or was it the extended two tower?). anyway, he states that arwen is dying and that her fate is now tied to the fate of the ring? why is this and if it is so, why doesn't arwen die at the

Reply to Defining a Democrat in Politics JoeUser Forums

You're right about the democrats in one sense, they aren't liberals, they are moderates. I saw Michael Moore speaking on CSPAN not long ago and he pointed out that the left majority is consistently scared into the middle and therefore, the republicans present a stronger leader that states a strong opinion about dynamic issues. As a big lefty, but a reluctant democrat, I would like to see the D-party come out with a candidate that truly leads, that clearly states his LEFT opinions, not one that

Reply to What things in the past 10 years would you change? in History JoeUser Forums

Here's what I would do: 1) realize that getting out of college is a goal, not a given 2) send myself a note to eat less as a younger person, cuz it all showed up later 3) get on the waiting list for oprah giveaway show

My picks for the Top 10 best shows on TV right now in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

1) The West Wing (I think its still managed to be good, even if the main writer guy , ugh, what the heck's his name, has left - one more thing, need more Mary Louise Parker!!!!!!) 2) The Gilmore Girls (although lately its feeling a little slow, but the dialog is great, the characters are charming without being ridiculous and the guy who plays Luke is hot) 3) Grounded for Life (one of the most most underated and underappreciated shows on TV, Donal Logue is hilarious and the guy who plays

Museums/ Small Business Woman/Hobby Possibilities in Misc JoeUser Forums

Are there people out there that care about museums. I work in them and love them (almost have a grad degree in museum science). Does anyone else, or do most people consider them boring? Also, I'm thinking of starting my own business - an traveling exhibit firm (once again - Museums), does anyone around here own their own business and if you do, could you tell me some of the ways you got your intitial funding. Also, I'm looking for a cool hobby that doesn't require huge amou

I have two dogs, weiner dogs, and I think they might be smarter than me. Belle is the one we've had the longest. She eats like a horse (I've never, EVER seen her turn down food) and sleeps continuously, only to wake up for a quick bone chew or doo-doo (ha ..that rhymed!) Charlotte is the other, she is sweet and delicate and the exact opposite of Belle in every way. She doesn't understand how to play (her previous owner was an elderly lady), so she sleeps and watches and LOVES to get under th
