  1. Linda I like Two and a half Men as well. It seems CBS is getting better at the shows then NBC has been lately.
  2. I loved the ending. Ross and Rachel had to get together and the twins! I did not see that coming. I wonder about the Joey show, I do not know how they will have the "stupid" one as the lead character...
  3. Zix Get the script out to NBC in a hurry!
  4. Tom Did you see coupling? That was a nightmare and suppose to be the new "friends" All I see anymore are people eating bugs and having make overs. I like a good sitcom - good writing- good acting like Everybody Loved Raymond. I thinkj NBC has not been developing good sitcoms - just new ways to eat bugs, be burried in rats and have lypo suction.
  5. Wow, yawn. Better send the second tape back or use it to replace the sleeping pill, eh?
  6. About Fraser and Friends: I cannot tell you how sad I am to see these shows end! I have been watching "Friends" for 10 years and Fraser for 11 years. Is this the end of the great NBC sitcoms? They seem to be entering a more "real tv" era. I do not see any good sit coms developing to replace Fraser and Friends. What do you think?
  7. That is the last I heard.And I hear DM was still at HQS.
  8. Ya know, I never watched that all the way through... So, Pearl Harbor was a stinker? Godsend could have been developed better. It was a good idea for a script but just did not deliver.
  9. Godsend was very, very boring, underdeveloped and was two hours of nothing. The pov was the parents who lost a child where the Doctor's (DeNiro) pov would have better told the story. The premise was interesting but the script was lacking. Man, if you want to be bored to death, dissappointed and unsympathetic towards any of the characters then go see this stinker...
  10. It was there all day after I posted it yesterday! where did it go? Let me try again. Okay, I deleted the email after I posted later last night, maybe that made it vanish. Did you delete it? Because I posted the address to the picture to the email you sent. Does that place still exist?
  11. Wayfer Not I knew you were happy with a boyfriend some how I missed the marriage part. Unless you stated it and I am having an "elder moment". Anyway, CONGRATS! I am so happy for you and for him!
  12. Wafer Not I think the little girl Dakota and Denzel were great. The first rule of a good story is "make me care" and I did care about Denzel and the girl but it all go lost in all the flashing, shaking, spinning and bouncing!
  13. Dovey in the e-mail you had eend to me I put the pointer right on the picture itself Then I right clicked holding my finger down on the right side of the mouse. A list will come up for you and it will have the word "properties" Click on the word "properties" There will be a bunch of stuff. About the thrid line down it will say "address" And read like this http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/e189d204/bc...hbCwjABSNPu13By Copy it. You know how to copy? put your mouse in fromt of the address itself. (Mot the word address) then left click and hold while moving your mouse across the words at the end of the address let up on your finger. Then hit "control" and the letter "C" on your keyboard. C will "copy" the picture. Then go into your post and click on that green piture at the top of the post area. And a box will drop down "Image URL" put your pointer arrow into the white box then hit "control" and the letter "V" That will copy the address into the little box that you just got off the picture. Then click okay -- then post. Good luck and happy birthday!
  14. Trying to post it for you let's see... Michael!
  15. Okay, the Bonine pills have me back to normal. So, if you want to see the film take them first so you do not get dizzy or ill.
  16. Future people we forget: Perry Gilpin (Roz) on Fraiser Dafney on Fraiser The same people Raf said from "The Practice" Friends: Matt LeBlanc (Joey even though he is to be in a spin off) David Schwimmer Courtney Cox Seinfeld: Julia Louise Dryfus George Kastansa (Whats-his-name) Kramer (Richard whatever) Past forgottens: The minister guy on MASH All the roommates of Alan Alda on MASH All of the WALTON KIDS except John Boy The son on Married with Children Marcy on Married with Children
  17. Written about the film: "While I understand what Scott is trying to achieve -- a gritty, edgy and unpredictable ride -- there are far too many bells, whistles, edits, shaky camera moves, subtitles (for dialogue spoken in Spanish and English) moving all over the screen and much more. Thankfully, all of that isn't prevalent from start to finish and the director wisely stops short of any "Matrix" style tricks (although there are plenty of spin around character shots). Nevertheless, all of the visual overkill comes off feeling like the work of a first time filmmaker who's just graduated from the music video world rather than a Hollywood veteran. Yes, Scott has done this sort of thing before, but this has to be the most distracting and annoying use to date." http://www.screenit.com/ourtake/2004/man_on_fire.html --- --- --- I am still sick. I called the pharmacist and my hubs is going to get motion sickness pills for me called Bonine (?) I vomited all night. I am sensitive to spinning things. And if the shakey work of the Blair Witch project bothered you --- then this will have you in the hospital. If the over done spinning shakey camera work of "the Shield" makes you a bit "ify" take a vomit bag with you. This movie could have been Denzels best but it was absolutley ruined by the camera work. There were times he would show a picture of the city like a tripple exposed picture then jiggle all three layers. Even the words coming on screen to translate the spainish at some points flew across the screen in motion and jiggled. Then the wiggling flahing pictures coming ontop of what you were watching was just over kill to the point it made people (me) literally ill. Film 101 you want to draw people into the film so they are not aware of the "film" but are "in" the story. You cannot loose yourself in this poorly delivered shaking crap fest... If it had been done well, this would have been a master piece. --- --- --- Also stated: "What Didn't Work: The main thing I didn't like about Man on Fire was the camerawork. The camera zooms in and out. Images are grainy and flash by at a quick rate that is likely to induce epileptic seizures. The picture moves so much and so often that it can cause motion sickness. While this is hip, trendy, and stylistic, it wasn't to my tastes. I recognize that they were trying to create a certain mood with the look, but I didn't find it necessary." http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=4382
  18. I know this should go in the movie section as it is about a movie. However, this is more about the ill effects of the shakey, horrible camera work done in the film. About 75% of it is done in a shakey camera. I kept shutting my eyes as did my husband and others around us. This form of "camera work" has thrown me into vertigo. I have been in bed all day since the film. I have vomited and my husband is dizzy and suffering from nausea. I just heard that people across the nation are suffering from varying degrees of "motion sickness" Do NOT go if you are subject to seizures, migrains, vertigo, motion sickness or dizzy spells. The film would have been excellent but due to the camera work I would not even give it a "1" on a one to ten (ten the highest) We have been sick all day. I only got up to post this warning. What a shame. It would have been a favorite, instead I got sick in the bathroom at the theater, had trouble driving home and have been in bed with the room spinning. If you go, I hope you fare better than we did.
