Petey, if it's a sci-fi movie that's one thing. But that was a movie supposedly grounded more in reality and it made no sense. Also I found gump to be more annoying than endearing at any point.

So if they had started the movie saying "this is a work of fantasy", you would have been happier? Sorry to sound grumpy but to dismiss something that appears to be real but is fantasy because it was too real, and not fantasy enough doesn't make any logical sense. (Hmmm. that could use some editing.) And I fail to see where you could possibly get the idea that this movie was grounded in reality. It takes after the tradition of Lewis Caroll, Brother Grimm, etc.
Ok, that's my last on this point except to say when I was taking film-making classes I had a teacher from France. He showed us a movie about method acting which was nothing more than a woman smoking and "pleasuring" herself. The whole move was shot from the shoulders up and lasted about 15 minutes. At the end of the movie he asked was this a movie about acting, or was it softcore pornography. Basically, was she acting or really making love to herself. After we discussed this for 20 minutes or so, he told us his point of view. It didn't matter. It only mattered to the actress and director what we thought was going on, not what was actually going on. It is all about the "magic" of movies that, in his view, everything on screen is a fantasy with varying degrees of believability.

wuz she hawt?
if hawt then soft core ERP

back for terminator its all right posted my review with spoilers
Guvenator makes appearence -
Terminator 4- B
STORY
It's 2018, and John Connor (Christian Bale) leads the resistance against skynet. Connor also must save the teenage version of his father, Kyle Reese and is helped by the first Man/Terminator Marcus (Sam Worthington)
in an all-out, square-jawed, post-apocalyptic war.
The Good
Guvenator makes an appearence!
tough, strong movie, loaded with exciting action sequences
BAD
"Salvation" doesnt have heart like T1 and 2. not much really happens in the story;
supporting actors don't have much to do;
few characters come into focus
Bale does nothing to develop the story and plays a slightly less grumpy Bruce Wayne.
B- see it if u like terminator otherwise skip
like i skipped night at the museum 2 -

some people like pepsi some people like coke. Some do not like either. you can not please everyone all of the time.
Im sure some people love COx and stay for full run
some people will leave and be swept into the new COnline
THen these same people will abandon the game they "chose" and move onto Star trek Online or DCUO and something will
come along after
MY POINT
New isnt bad. The thing that irked me was Conline trying to steal people from COx and the developerwho shall remain nameless (initials J.E.) talking [censored] about COx. I might not be happy with the devs here but Cox is a decent game and doesnt deserve [censored] talk....
My two cents -

Technically, I use to be in the Rookery, before Pamcakes, but I left before Rook did, why? I spent to much time in game & enjoyed being jaded from it,
Not my digs, so Pfft, Im yer elder!
I remember folks, who no longer post here or changed their names. I know some of them for who they are, not what they try to push out on ya'll. If I didn't take so many random Breaks & sold off 2 accounts from back in day, I'd have my 60 day badge already, -grumbles- stupid badges..

Rookery opens at 6 am pacific/ 9 am eastern and closes at midnight 12am pacific. there is no board, no cards and very few rules but lots of strange people. All the action takes place in your imagination.
A Note to Parents
Sometimes yes it gets a big roughshod. But thats why we have Mod 08. Also some rookerzerians ( term used to describe people in the habitat) are parents and know how to deescalate.
A Note to Gamers
Role players have been classified as geeks and nerds at best and devil-worshipping, murderous deviants at worst. It is all too easy, therefore, to become defensive and angry when people begin asking about the Rookery. Therefore be nice to everybody no matter what
Cooperative Storytelling
Everyday the starter of the thread job is to create an environment in which all the pretend takes place. The decision as to what type of environment (or genre) is often made by everyone involved
Once that decision is made, however, someone needs to decide on the underlying rules and "feel" behind the chosen genre. For instance, is the group playing "cowboys and indians" before the Civil War or after? Are they playing in Old West California or Texas or are they wandering over the entire range? Are they playing actual historical figures or are they making up new, fictitious characters that have never existed? Or maybe they're playing in a pre-created world such as in the "Gunsmoke" or "Bonanza" television shows. The onus of this job also falls on the thread creator shoulders.
The opener must create the environment -- the imaginary people, places and events -- with which the players pretend to interact. In essence, creating the outline or plot to a story, and it is through a joint effort that the story is fleshed out. For example, in one particular game, Black Bart and his gang are going to attempt to rob a train that is hauling a shipment of gold. That is the plot; the skeleton of the story. Whether Black Bart succeeds or not is entirely dependent upon the how the players play the game. If they play poorly, the story has a sad ending -- Black Bart robs the train and makes off with the gold. If the players play well, the story will have a happy ending -- Black Bart is captured and the terrorized townsfolk rejoice. But it is the actual, cooperative playing of the game that creates the story and its ending.
Roleplaying and Maturity
As you can see by the sample game, it takes quite a bit of imagination to roleplay. It also takes a large dose of maturity. The mature individual accepts the bad things in the game as easily as they rejoice in the good. But an immature gamer can't quite make the distinction between the game and reality. The immature player could be likened to the young child who wants to fly like Superman or who believes that hitting someone in the head with a hammer (ala The Three Stooges) won't cause serious injury. The immature gamer often can't understand the difference between a fictional character doing something they dislike and a real person doing something they dislike. The immature gamer will often get quite angry with a fellow player o
Maturity is a quality that isn't easy categorized. Some 17-year-olds I know are much more mature than some 40-year-olds. And there are some 21-year-olds with whom I would not wish to play because of their poor attitudes. A good rule of thumb is to see how angry or upset a player gets with a game.

YuriFoxfire...maybe you'll get motivated enough to at least get it started...and maybe do a little more....and a little more...and then realize you are halfway through...and then a little more and then realize that heck might as well finish cause you are practically done already.
