Sam Fisher Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Shawshank is terribly overrated. I wouldn't say it's the best or by any means my favourite movie of all time or anything, but I really enjoy it at least once a year. It's got a good story and I love the soundtrack. What can I say? It appeals to some more than others...evidently...not the less refined. (I kid...teheh.)

BongoBob Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Wolfenstein RPG on iPhone / iPod Touch has been a very nice time waster. Oh, and hi again for all those I've not seen in a very long time! Welcome back man
Pie™ Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Meh, It's a good movie but not MINDBLOWINGLY AWESOME as people make it out to be. I think my main gripe was the cast, I've always disliked Tim Robbins for reasons unknown. Only seen it once though, maybe I should give it another spin sometime. Hey Brohammed, check out Jacob's Ladder. Robbins is excellent in that one.
MrWally Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I've actually heard really good things about that film, but I've never really looked into it. I take it that you'd suggest giving it a watch?
Pie™ Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 I've actually heard really good things about that film, but I've never really looked into it. I take it that you'd suggest giving it a watch? Definitely, one of my favorite movies, and an excellent psychological horror/thriller. It was also, alongside Twin Peaks, the main inspiration for the Silent Hill games.
Dath Maximus Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Well, today is the day. My girlfriends mom and grandma arrived here yesterday from Tucson and L.A. So far my girlfriend believes that the big surprise thus far was her grandma coming up. She also believes that the "party" we had on her birthday a few days ago was her party and was really happy about it. Today I originally had reservations at a nice family style restaurant where I'd get her there and shed find a bunch of people waiting for her in surprise. But the idiot restaurant overbooked and canceled my reservations. However, my mom and sister have decided the hell with that place, today while the gf, mom, grandma, and I are out looking around the cities (I live in the twin cities for anyone who didn't know) they are gonna cook lots of food, and decorate the house and have a big bonfire. A bunch of friends who were going to go to the restaurant and surprise her are still gonna show up. So when we get back she will have that waiting for her. At the party is when I'm going to propose to her. Wish me luck.

txa1265 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Good luck ... I still have wonderful memories of proposing ... 20-something years ago ...
BongoBob Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 At the party is when I'm going to propose to her. Wish me luck. Gogo Dath!
MrWally Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 CONGRATULATIONS DATH! This is pretty awesome news!
IG-64 Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Congrats Dath. Be careful with the bonfire. And good luck.
Samuel Dravis Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Haven't posted in a while so I have lots of good things: CDs: Moon Soundtrack - Clint Mansell Secretary Soundtrack Golden State - Bush Will Evans Project - Selftitled (live acoustic recording, a really excellent local band) Deconstructed - Bush Irresistible Bliss - Soul Coughing Books: Against Method - Paul Feyerabend The Bell Jar - Slyvia Plath Descent: Equinox - Pete Telep Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand The Doom That Came To Sarnath - HP Lovecraft Either/Or Vol. 1 - Kierkegaard (Hong trans) The Language Instinct - Steven Pinker (although this was more like a lame, slightly kooky thing) A huge javascript reference book, the better to write on Greasemonkey with A mirror Haircut Pizza, Personal (several) Braid (from Steam) The first Tales of MI season, as well as a poster signed by Purcell (<3 that dude) Sacrifice (the game from 2000, it's pretty fun but had to work around some compatibility issues to get it running) A good haul, yes indeed.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Kudos to Pie for introducing them to me. Nothing like some Pirate metal!
Pie™ Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Kudos to Pie for introducing them to me. Nothing like some Pirate metal! Cheers!
BongoBob Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Cheers! I guess I too must thank Pie. That post made me youtube them, which brought me to this, which in turn has led me to "acquire" this cd. So yeah, thanks Pie
TiE23 Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Think I'm done with my Alphonse Mucha book rip. 140 pieces of work. 600+ photos. Over a month of time. Probably 40+ hours of work. A 1745 word long text document. And lot of time in Photoshop. Yay.
