Re #152: Thanks Ken. Looks like there's not much to choose from on the
weekends; if we wanted to mount a Grexpedition to see the Space Station
movie it would have to be at 11:20 AM on Saturday or Sunday. Who would be
interested in one of those times?

I might be able to come if it's Sunday the 17th. I'm busy all day that
Saturday, and then I'm out of town the weekend after. December weekends are
still free, though.

Tuesday saw '8 Mile' with the Bhelliom, Jazz, and two other males, and
I quite enjoyed it. It easily could have been a very bad movie- but it
managed not to be. The Rap Battles were entertaining to watch.
For the record- it is NOT the lifestory of Eminem, nor is it a 'Rags to
Riches' story. As the Bhelliom put it when we were talking about it-
this is a turning point movie. And a well-done one at that.

Yeah, I was really impressed by all of the bad movies that 8 Mile turned out
_not_ to be. In fact, it turned out to be one pretty good movie.

I'm almost tempted to go see 8 Mile. I would if I didn't dislike Eminem so
strongly. I don't want to encourage the whiney little homophobe.

Well, it's not like he's sitting around saying "I'm ready to begin
Phase Two, if only David Brodbeck would get on board.." See the movie
if you want, and don't if you don't. Your ticket money won't even show
up as a blip on Eminem's royalty check once it gets through Hollywood's
accounting..

...and, FWIW, his character in the movie is much less whiny than his stage
persona, and much more levelheaded.

See, * Mile has to fight with The Tow Towers, and 8 Crazy Nights for me to
see it. I only permit myself to see one In-Theater Movie per 3 months...
I have heard great things about 8 Mile from many sources so far it seems like
a fair goer.

I'm not all that interested in seeing "8 Mile" but I'd pay money *not*
to have to see "8 Crazy Nights." An animated Adam Sandler holiday movie?

The physical limitations of the human body are one of the things that
makes Adam Sandler's work even remotely tolerable. Without that
restraint, as in CG animation, there is no hope.

Oh, and the new Harry Potter movie is a bit over the top in places, but
very much enjoyable.

Oh my gosh. They're protesting the movie made before the terrorist
attacks -- based on a book written 50 years ago -- because of the
September 11 terrorist attacks.
We believe that Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema's actions are
in fact hate speech. The movie is intentionally being named
The Two Towers in order to capitalize on the tragedy of
September 11.
I don't believe these people can read.

I'm just in awe of _8 Crazy Nights_. Think about it -- someone,
actually probably a whole group of people, decided that what the world
really needed was an animated Adam Sandler. Who are these people, and
are they connected with Al Queda in any way?

I was struck by the same quote as jep. I wonder if they really believe
that. The quote on the home page makes it look like they might just be out
for money. (More likely they're just hoping for a mention in the media.)

I can't access the "Two Towers" page, but is it possible it's a troll?

Looked at the page. It's not apparantly a parody - nothing resembling a
sense of humor anywhere on it.

For a good Adam Sandler movie, see "Punch Drunk Love".

They are just idiots. Consider:
} The Two Towers Protest Organization ( www.twotowersprotest.org ) is
} made up of a group of like minded individuals who were greatly affected
} by the events that transpired on Sept 11th 2001. The owner of this
} website considers himself to be a facilitator for the sentiments which
} have already been expressed by people such as Kevin Klerck who set up
} the two towers petition on petitiononline.com.
The petition is at http://www.petitiononline.com/twotower/

This isn't even a blip on the radar except that the severe extent of the
stupidity involved is excellent fodder for comedy.
