  1. They take a big shot at religion in this movie. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  2. There happens to be a freefalling whale in the movie. That sequence had the entire theater laughing. btw - I think that Zooey that plays Trillian does a great job. And without fail, like any other movie she has been in, they really play up her incredible eyes. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  3. Pay close attention to the part in the movie while they are waiting in line (I won't spoil what for). You may see something from the originall BBC TV Series. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  4. Was able to attend the sneak preview last night. Already I'm biased to like it since I got to see it free at a really nice theatre! I didn't expect much overall, and I don't have much to compare it too since I never finished the book (and know most of the story from the video game). I was the only one in my group that didn't know the story inside and out, and found I was defending the movie once it was done. I knew that Adams had been working on the script for years and he felt that it could change for the movie and pretty much had it done just before he died. (btw - keep an eye out for his image in the movie a few times) I'm sure there were some changes to what he did, but for the most part it was his story and idea up on the screen. My friends had issues with some major changes to the story, and the way certain characters were handled and some events surrounding them in the story. From a neophyte fan's perspective - I liked it. The Jim Henson group did a great job on the Volgons, the improbable drive made me laugh each time it was used, seeing deep thought was great, the special effects were top notch and the factory floor scene will have you scanning the screen to take it all in. Sure, there were a few things that didn't work, but it's a comedy and that will happen. The one part that didn't really work for me was surrounding the John Malkovich character....and from my understanding it was created just for this movie. It seemed forced and wasn't funny, and in the end it was quite pointless. (maybe setting things up for the 2nd movie?) Bottom line - if you are a fan of the book - don't go in expecting to see the book on screen (isn't that said about every adaptation). There have been quite a few changes made. If you are not a fan of the book, it is a funny and enjoyable movie. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  5. But you must use the orange vests. The accident happened once you took the vests off. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  6. We usually have a boogie Memorial Day weekend to remember all friends lost, and try to do something posivite that weekend by raising money for Make A Wish. However, the best way to really honor them is to learn from their deaths. Make it safely to the ground jump after jump until you are too old to jump again. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  7. Agreed....one of those guys everyone mentioned that you had to meet...and now will never have the chance to meet him. My thoughts go out to all that loved him and partied with him. Also, it sounds like your pilot, Bill, is really going to need a strong group of friends over the next few months....I can't even imagine how hard this has to be for him. Blue ones... _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

  9. Got mine done at Jade Dragon - not bad work, and don't bother trying to get on the Fat Joe list....you will never get your done anytime soon. I think Jade used to be better than it is now - not too many of the artists have stuck around ...and I've seen an artist there that only had one tat....not a good thing. The guy I picked was covered over most of his body and he did all the work he could reach on his own. If you go to Jade you will pay more because of the name. Mine was about three and a half hours of work and it cost about $425. I haven't seen any bad work from Jade, but I have seen stuff that could have been better. You may get better work with less distractions at a smaller shop, but only use the ones you get a recomendation for. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  10. Novell and SUSE merged. NDS will be going into it, Novell will finally be a full OS, and it should hit the market in about 1-2 years. Heard a recent rumor that mozilla will be packaged with it. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  11. Geo Metro. 1 litre, 3 cylinder 50mpg. Very cheap used. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  12. Roger Nelson claimed close to a B license on mals. I think most of those had to be on "pinky" and there is a tape floating around showing that Spinletto in action. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  13. Must have been a weekend for trying to burn down the house. After a trip to the Sox game and the casino, we decided to BBQ! Well, the grill couldn't be used since a moma robin decided to nest there. We prepped the steaks and put them in the oven....next thing we know the alarms are going off, the ADT is going off, the dog is running laps around the house and my friend's wife is calling to find out what the hell happend. Apparently someone didn't tell my friend you don't put the steaks on the top rack when using the broil setting. At least we still had charbroiled steaks! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

  15. Yup, hard to believe, but this is what I have been saying all along. Found this on Yahoo.com News today: If You Don't Like It, Change the Channel That's how President Bush feels about parents coping with television programming that they find inappropriate for their children. At the same press conference Thursday when he made the off-hand comments about e-mail, Bush said that he thinks there should be a federal standard for indecency, but barring that, he said, "the ultimate responsibility in a consumer-driven economy is for people to say, 'I'm not going to watch it' and turn the knob off. That's how best to make decisions and how best to send influences." He said that government ought to "help parents... send good messages to their children." His remarks come at a time when Congress is trying to increase the monetary penalties that media companies must pay for broadcasting "indecent" material. It is the latest episode in a saga that began with Janet Jackson's exposed nipple at the 2004 Super Bowl. Lawmakers are considering several bills on the subject, including one that would extend the Federal Communications Commission's indecency standards to cable TV and satellite radio. Bush did not say whether he would support such a move, but his stance is clear: "We're a free society. The marketplace makes decisions. If you don't like something, don't watch it." 'Nuff said. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  16. At the time we were the only kid on the block that had them....and we used up both of them. If Germany had been further along in the process and had theirs completed, do you think we would have still used it? The world has changed since then. The game is different. The use of just one nuke in an act of aggression would lead to an edn game scenario. sigh. I don't remember talking about detrant. I was talking about use. I was talking about reactionary measures. It's true that the threat of the bomb is lost when you factor in terrorist. The only problem with that - who the hell are we to tell other countries what they can and cannot do? A good portion of the world asked us not to invade Iraq, but we did it cowboy style anyway. We lost a lot of leverage with that. So now we will see another buildup of nukes around the world and part of that is our fault. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  17. Imagine if a nuke was dropped at the foot of the WTC on 9/11 instead of using a plane. Imagine the damage. I don't think I was being dramatic. btw - who would we nuke back in that scenario? Do we actually nuke a country, kill innocent people and risk retaliation just to kill a handful of rebels living in caves? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  18. http://credit.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi%2Dbin/stories.pl%3FACCT=104%26STORY=/www/story/09%2D24%2D2004/0002258308%26EDATE= What is universal default? It states if you go default on ANY other bill they can raise the credit card APR up to 30%!!! The 10p news just covered it tonight as well. Guess there was a lawsuit against Discover card about it and they are removing the clause - but they are the only one. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  20. Isee you would rather just give up... If even one bomb is on the way, you have already lost. Everyone loses. What would killing millions of innocent civilians in retaliation of an act put in motion by a handful of people prove? Show the immature and childish behavior of those in power? The world as we know it will come to a hault the next time a nuke is used - no matter who uses it. The world economy will collapse with the loss of one of the major powers/suppliers in the world. Starvation will spread, disease will spread, crops will rot, livestock will be unfit, soil will be useless for generations, long term radiation damage will spread into the next generation and the strength of the populace will decrease. A true leader will do everything in his/her power to prevent the bombs from ever launching. A strong leader will make the choice to save as many as possible and forego stupid nationalistic pride when faced with the end. Nah, screw that. Let's take them all with us and end humanity just to spite the person that pushed the button. Shall we play a game?? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  21. Why bother? You are dead anyway? Besides - if you really want revenge, let them launch as many as they want. They will suffer a worse fate - the destruction of the food chain, long term disease and a drawn out death, a collapse of their economy, the fall of their gov't, etc. Those who die first will be the lucky ones. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  24. This is great comedy!! First off, spend some time with people that work in the industry. You know what? Most of them are friends and this little competitive thing you have going on is funny. This is a small little corner of the sports world. The competition for business in it isn't as dramatic as you make it out to be. Most of them have worked together at one point, been on teams together, or been on world records together. Go to any of the major boogies and you will see them spending time in each other's vendor shops, drinking beers afterhours or even jumping the competition's gear. What's hypocritical? Only the high performance market? Last I checked they have the top Crew canopy around. They have the Sabre2 and the Spectre for midrange. Where do you come up with this stuff? I bet you would be complaining if PD rushed the Katana 135/150 to market and there were issues with it. If PD or any company wants to say it's not ready to be jumped yet, who are we to argue with them? They are making sure they have a high quality, safe product on the market. I can see how that can upset a person And if you don't want to wait - then take your money elsewhere. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
