A lot of people think Independence Day was so implausible that it was unwatchable. Uploading a virus into a superior alien race's computer to make their ships go boom, and such. I love it, I think it's a great rompin' popcorn flick. I second Kentucky Fried Movie ("It is very important to...

I have no interest in seeing this. I am SO sick of hearing how Jessica Simpson worked out to get that butt to fit in the shorts, etc etc ad nauseum. And neither of the two male leads is a.) a good actor or b.) capable of carrying a film, in my opinion. People gave it half a star =\ (out of...

If someone is stating their opinion, they have a right to do so. If it's an opinion, not fact, and they don't post facts to back it up, it's not "wrong," as you were saying. I disagree with you, you disagree with me. Drop it, please.

Someone missed my point entirely. A person posted that certain sci-fi films increased the general public's interest in sci-fi. Someone else said "What do you mean?" I posted another example using Chicago from my own personal experience. Many of my family members are more willing to watch...

Edgar Rice Burroughs's Mars series. Old, but still a good read :)

I'm guilty of knitting during RP sessions but I try to pay attention!! I just get so bored while everyone discusses the fine points of this uber_weapon_01 versues that uber_weapon_02 or whether he can actually cast that spell in that specific instance. Maybe write the guy a cheat sheet of the...

I was hoping someone here would have some counseling experience and could offer some advice :) Although all of the responses have cheered me up greatly! I'm going to get that book for myself, and a copy for my sister, and we'll read it together. She insists the grandmother doesn't have a...

Ok if you just went and watched a DVD and verified that that's what he said, I'll take your word for it; I misremembered. *shrug* I still think she's bi, from her interactions with Inara.

I believe what Jayne says is along the lines of "If Kaylee were a doctor, she would be a gynecologist." Then everyone looks at him completely shocked. I don't think they would have looked at him like that if he had just said she thought he was cute. Anyone have the DVD's that can verify...

Thank you for your responses. I've always felt like I was doing something wrong by being hurt by the things he does & says. At least now I know I'm not alone.

That's what I've always thought too; I was a very shy teenager but in my 20's I gained some self-esteem and started speaking up when something someone did offended me. Yet I can never get it across to my father that he hurts me when he does these things. When I suggested to my sister that I...

I've recently been having issues with my father. He's a very "difficult" personality; he is overly critical of everything and he is never pleased with anything that a person does. I am a rather laid-back easygoing personality, and it's hard for me to just take his jibes and griping and let it...

I thought it was funny, when Inara and Kaylee first meet in the first episode (they obviously have met before), they both say "Hey you" softly ... I said "uh oh!" That's a classic Whedon greeting for women who have been (or will become) lovers, or who appreciate in each other the ability to...

I'm a 30 year old woman who lives in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I was born in Bangkok, Thailand and lived in Athens, Greece for 3 years, Monrovia, Liberia for 2 years, and Nicosia, Cyprus for a year and a half, all before I was 18. I've been to Syria, Egypt, England, Germany, Guam, Kenya, Nigeria...

Another example would be Chicago. While it is a film version of the Broadway play that's been running for a long time, for many people it was an introduction to the musical genre of film. So that more people began watching musicals, who possibly had not watched one before. But since they had...

I disagree. Will isn't the only gay character; Jack is flamboyantly gay and very much in-your-face. Karen also makes sexual references about other women. The only character (in my opinion) on the show who doesn't make sexual references every other sentence is Grace.

If TV shows that are in-your-face about homosexuality are a recipie for failure, explain the success of Will and Grace. I think Jack is frickin hilarious but occasionally I do feel uncomfortable with the homosexual references, so I personally do not watch it very often, but it has a large...

I believe there's a film called Brokeback Mountain coming out (pardon the pun) this year that has a gay story line: The new film from Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee. An epic love story set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas, Brokeback Mountain tells the story of two young...

I agree. As someone who likes the Firefly show very much, I would like it much less if it went into lots of detail on how the ships fly, the illuminum 236 explosive space modulator, and so on. I want to know about the characters, which is Joss Whedon's specialty, not the ships and the physics of...

I remember watching Con Air and crying as not one, but two, Corvettes got trashed in various ways :( Oh, the humanity! EDIT: Just realized Michael Bay didn't direct Con Air. But it's still a Bruckheimer thing, I get the two confused for blowing-up-ness.
