Bernard is overworked and overstressed at his job with a high-end auction house in New York. In trying to satisfy the unreasonable demands of his narcissistic, greedy, cruel boss, Mr. Flaxman, Bernard misses his daughter Eve's 8th birthday (and other family time). Having failed to bring his daughter a birthday present, Bernard lamely offers her an antique box that he had sitting in their home. Bernard's disappointed wife Julie leaves him, and the next day Mr. Flaxman fires Bernard. A dejected Bernard wipes dust off the box, and swirling colorfully out of it appears a 2,000+ year-old genie named Flora, an eccentric middle-aged woman, who tells Bernard that she can grant him unlimited wishes.
Bernard has seen that Flora is rather sad and lonely as a genie, and he uses a wish to free her. She tells him that he will still have three wishes afterwards. He uses the first wish to go back in time to the point before he had missed his daughter's birthday. He quits his job at the auction house, instead taking his wife and daughter out for her birthday, and giving her a doll house, which she had hoped for. He uses his last two wishes to make sure that they have a wonderful dinner at an exclusive restaurant. Three months later, Bernard goes out to pick up a pizza: Lenny now is running Bernard's favorite pizza joint, and Flora is making the pies.
Owen Gleiberman of Variety wrote "It's certainly a wholesome Christmas cookie of a movie, so if that's your thing by all means make it a holiday streaming snack. But it's my wish that Melissa McCarthy would get the great comedy she deserves."[9] The Hollywood Reporter's Frank Scheck wrote, "To be fair, the film directed by Sam Boyd has its amusing moments, thanks to Curtis' well-honed comic instincts. Essiedu nicely underplays as Bernard, going more for emotion than cheap laughs, and McCarthy is such a warm, engaging presence that you'll search your home for any old-looking bottle that might contain a similarly helpful genie".[10]
Hi all, I setup a nice simple naming formula when I first got pokegenie which as simply: Name, superscript IV %, and level in a circle. I installed pokegenie on a new phone and don't see the same options I used before to create that. Basically I don't care what individual IVs are--if it's a PVP pokemon, i use "rankXXpv[G/U]" and have to type that in myself. I guess I should ask if there's anyway to choose the highest pvp rank and league and generate that name... okay, that too, but my main concern is the custom naming or just removing IVs from the formula. Thanks!
I've a new computer w/snow leopard, which I've had for two weeks. Up until now, I hadn't used the genie effected on my dock. I come to find out it isn't working. I've tried what was suggested on another thread, which is: Users/myname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist, tossed in the trash and reboot, but it didn't work. Is there anything else I can do? I'd be much obliged for any help. Thank you. Pelusita
'Don't I feel like the "f" ing fool.' :::::Jack Nicholson sly grin::::::! You were right with the above statement. In the past, I would click the top of any part of whatever window I had open and the genie effect worked and the icon of whatever window I had clicked on would show up on the dock, next to the trashcan. Not so with 10.6.7. I came to find out that I have to click the [yellow] minimizing button for the genie effect to work. Mea maxima culpa -my bad. ?
