Hey Daps! It's Bawston. I owe you lengthy responses but I've just been very busy lately and have had little time on-line. Sorry! I did want to post about your search engine problem though. You have a Trojan Horse called QHost. I know, I had the same thing. My first infection ever! I felt so violated. :) It took me all day to clean it off (mostly because I had never done things like backing up my registry, etc). I got the problem early though, before they had worked up a solution so I had to do it the hard way. You should be able to clean it off pretty easily. Go to this site:
and download their removal tool. That should take care of the problem. You'll also want to get the Microsoft patch to correct the vulnerability. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be glad to help. Good luck! Proper responses soon I
I'm terrified about registry settings and all that complicated stuff too. I also hate it that now trojans and viruses can get onto the PC just from accessing websites. I miss the old days of knowing that if my screen flipped upside or a chat box opened that I couldn't close, it was just from one of the 20+ trojans that my friends put on my PC from tricking me into accepting files. I finally learn to stop accepting files, and now hackers don't even need them. The world is so unfair! *g*
We watched the opening scene of Natural Born Killers in film class earlier this year. I wanted to see the rest and luckily they had it in the library. I too thought it was good the way it tackled the issue of violence in the media. And media creating more violence etc. But there is also debate over whether it just adds to the violence in the media by being so violent. And people easily effected by violent media wouldn't get the deeper meaning and would just enjoy the film for being violent.
I'm worried about my future Angel watching too. That site only has the WB versions of the first 2 episodes as BiTorrents and no more zip files. :( I don't know where else to find copies.
Good point about Natural Born Killers. If watched by people who are going to think about the movies properly and see the violence for the way it was being used in the movie; the film works perfectly. From the perspective of someone who doesn't think too deeply about movies, it might be more of a hypocritical movie (preaching about media glorifying killers, in a movie that glorifies serial killers.)
Were the zip files all separate scenes, or was it one episode per zip file? If it was one episode zipped, I'd be able to send you them. If not, I need to learn how to split movies up into different parts in order to be zipped.
Well for the first two episodes: Not seperate scenes just bits of the main file. Then when you have them all it fits them back together as one file. I think the zip program can split them up for you too.
But for the third ep they split it up into scenes (well by the add breaks I guess) and you could watch each one seperately. They seem to be doing the same for the 4th. I think I will be fine.

Hi Daps! Wales has it's share of good surfing! But learning is a bitch in water that cold! Learn to surf at some point in your life, but on your next free day, you must at least go to the ocean and wade. To be safe, either go with a friend or wade near people--don't wade too far out, water to your knees is deep enough, and never turn your back to the water. You'll freeze but it's worth it

Well, the Bristol Channel is an extension of the Celtic Sea, which is an extension of the Atlantic Ocean, so it does count....? I mean the ocean like at the end of the Angel episode "In the Dark", when he walks out onto the beach and into the sun...was it like that

It was sort of like the end of "In The Dark", though I think the experience was far more profound for Angel than it was for me. Then again - walking into water on a sunny day where the sea wasn't freezing cold made a nice chance for the UK!
LOL yeah, I never knew that punk rock fans were allowed to get married. :p I'm so sorry that yours hasn't worked out well though. *hugs* Does this mean you have 2 take-backs left? Or have you exhausted them all? I can't think of any massive, massive things I wish I could take back. Just billions and billions of small ones. (I wish I had spent midnight-2am on some random day in 2002 watching a movie instead of doing nothing, ad infinitum. *g*)
The Godfather movies are terrific aren't they. And after seeing Casino the other day, I definitely need to see more gangster films. I've been told that Goodfellas is excellent. I'll try and brush up on my 70s movie-watching in the next few months! That's the 70s and the 30s I need to improve mostly on now then, by the seem of it

Hi it's chaos813--One more thing--the 80's get a bum rap because--well, so many of the movies were stupid, BUT--here are some important 80's essentials for your list that don't star the Brat Pack:
Sophie's Choice 1982 Mask 1985 Jagged Edge 1985 Full Metal Jacket 1987 Raising Arizona 1987 Rain Man 1988 War of the Roses 1989

Not done my reading. Not got my books yet. Will do the reading when I get my books. :p
Ah, cheers - more movies added to my list. I wonder if I'll get through them all these movies in a year. That's my goal, for sure! :)
Nothing wrong with stupid movies, in my opinion. Though there are exceptions to that rule. For example, there is a whole heck of a lot wrong with Dude, Where's My Car? *g*
