More Jack Bauer: "I have killed two people since midnight, I haven't slept in over 24 hours. So maybe… maybe you should be a little more afraid of me than you are right now."

One last Jack Bauer (for now):

"Are you sure you want to go down that road with me?"

[Doc]

I don't know what the big deal is about Jack Bauer Doc ... because with his shirt buttoned ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP all the time, I'm convinced he was just an uncover nerd. :bleh:

I think part of the charm in the beginning was that he was just the guy next door, sort of a nerdy Dad. When things go very bad and his family is threatened, he rises to the occasion with everything from ferocious violence to calculated cruelty. It was perfect casting for an Everyman fantasy, maybe not so appealing to women then?

I think it comes down to happy endings and regardless that those who end up dead in a bloody massacre at the end of every 24 hrs were usually the bad guys, females are apt not to think that an ending like that is ... you know... 'happy'. :rolleyes: Especially when a good guy is thrown into the mix and ends up dead too!:p

And in addition to that, Jack wasn't, what we would call socially and politically sensitive because if he was, he would have chosen hybrid cars to steal instead of those good ol' American gas hogger mini-vans like he always did whenever he had to make any death defying quick get-away.

Jack's women didn't live to enjoy too many endings, happy or otherwise.

However, the perfect Guy Movie goes something like, "We went down there to kill the b@st@rds. Some of us didn't make it back." (The Searchers, Tombstone, The Wild Bunch, everything that derives from the classic plot known as The Rape, The Ride, and The rescue)

A very wise young woman wrote that if you want to understand men, go rent "The Magnificent Seven" and watch it until you figure out why men like it.

[A99]

Ok, maybe I'm being too critical of Jack... at least he never blew up a White Castle fast food joint!

Oh yea, now that you brought that up, ALL of Jack's women, at the end of the day... ended up in a bad way. Lol, thanks for reminding me. Will check out that movie but if I see any of those Magnificent Seven taking a dump in a bucket I don't know if I'll be able to watch the whole thing through.:rolleyes: Will check it out though!

All Souls Day: Dia de los Muertos


This is one of those legendary "worst films of all time" and deservedly so. It should be shown in film schools as an example of what ten (ten!) producers can do with 1.2 million dollars and some decent actors. It also shows that the reputation of SyFy Channel Original Productions is so bad that people assume bad films were made by them--even when they are not!

I mention this because I usually look up films on IMDB on my laptop while I am watching them to get up to speed on the details of the small parts, director, etc. In this wonderful internet age we have film reviews from just plain people like you and me--and they are often hilarious.

Some examples:

"You know, you have to work hard to turn out a "movie" (and I use the term loosely) this bad. And the Sci-Fi Channel has managed to do it a number of times, raising again the question of whether they are farming out their writing and directing duties to family members...or perhaps family pets.

This particular stinker was advertised as a zombie movie, and eventually they did have a few zombies bumbling around, albeit completely illogically and with the rules of their existence changing every 30 seconds as apparently a new hack writer (or perhaps Fluffy the family chihuahua) took over to further mangle this drivel. To say that it was a complete and utter mess, and a magnificently boring one at that, would be an understatement."

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428212/reviews

I did this because I have had some fun reading reviews of these clunkers and maybe you will, too.

I really have to get a life... :bleh:

This could be quoted in many threads of many forums:

"Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

"It's the same kind of story
That seems to come down from long ago
Two friends having coffee together
When something flies by their window
It might be out on that lawn
Which is wide, at least half of a playing field
Because there's no explaining
what your imagination
Can make you see and feel

Seems like a dream
(They) got me hypnotized

Now it's not a meaningless question
To ask if they've been and gone
I remember a talk about North
Carolina and a strange, strange pond
You see the sides were like glass
Find more similar lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.com/UyG
In the thick of a forest without a road
And if any man's hand ever made that land
Then I think it would've showed

Seems like a dream
(They) got me hypnotized

They say there's a place down in Mexico
Where a man can fly over mountains and hills
And he don't need an airplane
or some kind of engine
And he never will
Now you know it's a meaningless question
To ask if those stories are right
'Cause what matters most is the feeling
You get when you're hypnotized

Seems like a dream
(They) got me hypnotized"

Howard Hawks said that Bogart fell in love with the character Lauren Bacall played in "To Have and To Have Not" so she had to keep playing that part for as long as Bogart lived. I don't think it ruins that story to think she pretty much played herself and didn't mind being that person at all.

The U.S. Government hasn't maintained secrecy regarding UFOs. It's been leaking out all over the place. But the way it's been handled is by denial, by denying the truth of the documents that have leaked. By attempting to show them as fraudulent, as bogus of some sort. There has been a very large disinformation and misinformation effort around this whole area. And one must wonder, how better to hide something out in the open than just to say, 'It isn't there. You're deceiving yourself if you think this is true.' And yet, there it is right in front of you.
