Wow a very metal Christmas!! Hope you and everyone else is having a

Arguments get better the more you drink! Due to various work cock ups and
other such stuff I haven`t seen any of my family today, been a bit of an odd
Xmas but I`ve filled it with plenty of loud metal and am out for the day
tomorrow...I`ve never had so much time off over Xmas, certainly don`t miss
taxi driving this time of the year!!

i have had a nice metal xmas myself, played some good stuff and jammed
on my 3 year old nephew's drums :)

Make sure its the wireless network kind. That way you don't have to
bother with network cables to update the BR player and view the online
content of some BR movies. I myself have 3 BR players and the PS also.
All are wireless network players and have had no problems with them at
all.

amazon. I`m very much on a budget to be honest, this one won a best blu-ray

I rarely use the PS3 for games. I thought I would when I bought it. I have
49 Xbox games and 5 PS3 games (one of which is the God Of War Collection
from the PS2). Still, it's an all around media machine which is why I was
suggesting it.
Bomber
Should be fun. Hopefully there's a demo of it. Looks like a budget version
of Halo.
kev...@gmail.com
It's awesome. Doom Resurrection is good too (not the old Doom fps),
Dungeon Hunter is a Diablo/Baldurs Gate style game, but NOVA is by
far the best game period.
I suggest you jailbreak it and try out all the games. You can always
un jail break it (aka restore orig settings in iTunes) and/or buy the
games if you like them, but there is a ton of crap on the Iphone/touch
but there are some real gems so you need to try everything. If you
like retro you can install emulators too.

I've had it for less than a week so I probably won't get up the nerve to
jailbreak it yet. My luck I would brick it. Considering how expensive it is
I'll just play with it as it is. Right now I'm enjoying the fact that I can
go online without sitting at my computer. That lightsaber app is nerdy
awesomeness as well.

I'm the opposite, my 360 is gathering dust on my media shelf.
Soze
My favourite games are Left4Dead 1 & 2, Halo 3 and Gears of War, none of
which are available on the PS3....and the PS3 doesn`t have many exclusives
I`d be interested in. Most pople I know who have consoles have a 360 as
well...so I`m not sure I`d use a PS3 for much more than the blu-ray. A mate
of mine who had both is the same as Bomber, he only uses it for the blu-ray
and as a browser.

I am today listening to the BoC stuff. Been a while for the live
album. In fact, probably 5-10 years. I used to like live albums back
in the 80's. But I almost never listen to live albums now. In fact
that JP Touch of Evil probably only has two total plays.
As it is for this BoC and Kansas triple packs, they are only $9 for
3 CD's. The packaging is just cardboard sleeves, but for the price,
you can't hardly beat it.

I'm generally the same way with games. Kill stuff. I traded in Assassin's
Creed 2 (which sucked) and got Borderlands last week. I'm rather addicted to
that at the moment. I keep buying new games without finishing the previous
ones. I'm backlogged! I bought Mass Effect on Thursday but have no idea when
I'll get around to playing it. It was only $10 so I figured why not? Today
is the biggest shopping day of the year and there wasn't a damn thing worth
buying.

Yeah prety much, first of all work told me I had to work Xmas, my family had
made plans to go away so I told them to go ahead and not worry, then I was

My brother bought a 1080 i type 42 inch I believe. He had Survivor

I believe the saying is, you never knew how much health care can
cost until it's free. I assume there will still be lots of bills with
it. And from what I understand, it's not even taking effect until 2013
or something. But we have to start paying right away. I believe that
is why it's not as popular as many people would think it would be.

I haven't paid much, yet. As I said above, it's not going to be
free. I guess there is supposed to be incentives to get people to buy
health insurance that don't have it now. I don't know many details
because it's not really finalized yet. They have to get the Senate and
House to iron out the differences and then send a final bill to the
President.
I have read that a lot of people who make $75,000 refuse to buy
insurance for some reason. I have insurance, and I've gotten
statements from the insurance company to the tune of what they've
paid, and it's a lot. A hell of a lot. As for your health care, I
assume someone's paying somewhere even if there is no cost to the
average bloke.

Surely you've heard Carry on My Wayward Son and Dust in the Wind.
ffs these songs have been radio staple since I was a kid.
Really digging Death of Mother Nature Suite, off the first album,
and have stated my like of Masque quite a bit. It has the pretty damn
good Icarus Born on Wings of Steel. Granted there are ballads about on
their albums, and such, but when you can sing like that main guy can,
you expect it.
Really, think you should like these songs.

Well, over here the national health service has existed since before I was
born...no party would dare to oppose it. It`s one thing the British are
generally proud of. If someone`s ill they get treated, irrespective of their
wealth or social standing. Perhaps it`s just the way things have always been
for me but I can`t undertand how anyone could oppose the idea. Be you left
or right in the UK...the NHS is virtually untouchable. For sure your taxes
go towards it but the government will takes taxes off you irrespective, I
find the idea of someone dying in pain because they can`t afford the
treatment fairly barbaric in the 21st century.

I`ve mentioned 3. I can`t think of that many comedy films I really like tbh,
plenty of TV comedy but not many movies...the Monty Python films, Naked Gun,
Airplane...all that real stupid stuff...I liked Borat a lot, Dr Strangelove,
Groundhog Day was fun...Zombieland recently gave me a few chuckles...and
some oanimation, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, Shrek etc.

we`re better off talking about music haha!

Just IMDB`d this, doesn`t ring any bells at all...although it does star
Jason Statham who I`m not at all fond of so could explain why it passed me
by.

Heat is a must see(Pacino/Deniro/Kilmer) along with Casino and
Scarface. i love Borat as well. what 3-4 did you see of my list, i
think i know 2 of them?
any man who doesn't like Mob movies is not a man :)
Soze
Best get my frock then! If there`s one genre of movies that doesn`t interest
me in the slightest it`s gangster / mob time movies, I just can`t get into
them at all.
I`ve seen Terminator, Interview With a Vampire, Face Off ( which I thought
was rubbish! ) and Gladiator. The one I rate highly is Interview...although
I haven`t seen it in about 15 years. I did love Terminator back in the day
but probably haven`t seen it since the 80`s so my memory is a bit sketchy.
Bomber
I hated Heat when I saw it in theatres. I watched a couple of years ago and
it wasn't bad. I like Scarface, but Mob movies aren't my thing.
Bomber
I came close to walking out of the theatre during Pan's Labyrinth. I think
I'd rather watch Labyrinth with David Bowie! Crank is a 'check your brain at
the door' over the top action/comedy. When you've got Quiet Riot playing
during the title sequence (which consists of 80's Nintendo style graphics),
and Loverboy playing during a fight scene where a guy gets his hand cut off
with a cleaver, it's all good.

The Thing is an awesome movie...I hated The Burbs, didn`t even get halfway
through it, seems we`re as inconsistent with film tastes as musical ones.

Well we got snow late in the evening on Christmas Day, and more
today, however, I assume you guys probably had Snow in August, so a
white Christmas is probably something you almost always have.

> Animal House, Caddyshack,
I thought Caddyshack was awful. Never seen Animal House. Watched Avatar
tonight, much better than I expected...it just looked like a computer game
cut scene from the trailers. The visuals are quite remarkable and the whole
thing is a terrific ride...even if the plot has been done a thousand times
before ( and is quite predictable early on ). Well worth a trip to the
flicks for.
Bomber
It snowed a bit on Xmas eve. Still there's not much here. Not enough to
toboggan on. Everywhere around us seemed to get hit with blizzards.

I thought Avatar was alright. Nothing mindblowing, but worth seeing.

1. The Exorcist (ATF)

Do you like the original Exorcist or 'The version you've never seen' with
that really creepy spiderwalk?
Ritchie
> "Ritchie" <ritchie1...@gmail.com> wrote in message
I like both of them and have them both on DVD. It was supposed to be
released on Blu Ray with the disc containing both versions in Sept but
it was delayed. Now they are saying a release date of March 2010 but
only "the Version You Have Never Seen" will be on the disc. There is
talk of a remake written by Blatty (original writer) and being done as
a 3 or 5 part miniseries for cable. Blatty said he has kept it much
like the original but has expanded on parts and no hardcore music
(thank God!!), still classical like the original. I wouldn't mind
seeing it redone but I don't think it could top the original.
On a side note Exorcist 3 is pretty good also, 2 was total crap.

Oklahoma City got 13 inches, I assumed you guys 1000 miles to the
North of that would have 13 feet of snow by now.

Are you wearing nappies? Going to be a messy evening otherwise....I can
honestly say I`ve never heard any of these songs before in my life. Just
researched the band and they`ve never had a top 200 album in the UK which
could explain why something you may consider a famous radio song is a
complete unknown over here. I do quite like most of it though, not sure it`s
something I`d play a lot but when I`m in the mood I can see this quite
taking me.

Hard to believe. I guess they didn't export well, but they had
massive radio airplay in the 70's into the 80's stateside. Big selling
albums and so on.
But they never played Dust in the Wind or Wayward son? Yep, crapping
myself as I type.

I don't know why I never bought any albums by them before recently.
I always liked them from the first time I heard the songs.

I missed this when you posted it. It's been right around 4 or 5
degrees the past couple nights. So I guess you'll up there probably
are sitting at about -75 or something. And that would be special. I do
remember about 10 years ago, we had a -27f morning. That was special.

-16C at the moment. Aside from one week of frigid death it's been a mild

Ian doesn't generally like prog.
Sure, he likes some bands with proggy elements, but not real epic
prog.
Except Jethro Tull, but that's because they're kinda gay.
