It was based on a Stephen King story. Need I say more?

It's sad that a person who can write such good stories. . . has to be plagued by such sucky movies based on his stories.

It sucked.

I'll go ahead and lay a spoiler on you: "Mary Had a Little Lamb" is the same tune as "London Bridge." I use these facts to do a fun little bit at parties where there are kids. I bring out the guitar and say I've been working on a few songs. Then I'll play and sing a few bars of ...

Plasma does degrade. They recommend having the Plasma changed every 5-7 years. No idea about the bulb. No idea about LCD. I heard a plasma change is about $150-250.

When I try to set it to Ultra high and 1024x768, it warns me that I need 500MB of video memory. I only have 256. So, I back it off to high. I can run Ultra only if I have res set to 800x600. When I tell it to auto setup, it says Medium at 800x600. I'm guessing that's cause of the XP2100 I'm running...

Linux box has two NICs. One for the cable modem/external Network. One for the internal switch/Network. Your Linux routing stuff will be between the two internal NICs on the Linux box. Unless you are doing forwarding. Then it's from the external to a client.

I was going to say "No, I wasn't logged in on the wrong account when that was posted!" I run one too, and often brag about how mine is better than his. I learn Linux, and have a more stable and robust router/firewall. Setup overhead is greater. But, they've come a lone way toward making i...

It's not in Internet links, cause it's not entertaining. It's cool in a techie kind of way.

I realized it was in the wrong forum after I posted it. I figured the forum nazis would move it to the correct spot.

It's about the kidnapping of Sinatra Jr. This is by no means a documentary. So, not sure how much of all of it was true. Didn't look that deep into it. I watch it for David Arquette and William H. Macy. I like them guys. Unfortunately, I watch the first half of the movie about 5 days ago, and the s...

And yes, I searched for any previous posts. . . Wasn't bad. Tom Hanks is another actor I can't stand. It's not his acting that bugs me. It's his holier than thou bullshit babysitting attitude that bugs me. Fuck him, and the high horse he rode in on. But as far as the movie goes, it's not bad. Inter...

I thought about searching. Figured the last review was probably wiped out in the latest (of many) board crashes because this place sucks. :-)

Saw it and liked it. Have seen it 1.5 times. They did a good job keeping things interesting, even though it was a sequal. If you liked the first, you should like this one. If you haven't seen the first, it should still be a good movie for you because they incorporate the first one, but they give en...

I agree. But, it's sold out everywhere, meaning, there's a demand. And when there's a demand. . . Ebay scores.

I'm holding out for the PSP.

It really wasn't that bad. . . at least, not at the stores I was at. The lines were long. But not any longer than any other weekend before X-Mas. But again, I missed the 7am opening mob/madness.
