[QUOTE=SephirothX][COLOR=Slategray][SIZE=1] Hello fellow OBers. Well, to get down to the point, there is this girl that I am good friends with, and we IM talk and sometimes even go to the movies or something. She and I don't really consider ourselfs boyfriend and girlfriend, but I really like her. We share intrests, like playing video games and watching anime, but, if she doesn't want to go out with me, will it spoil our friendship? So, what I am really saying, is that, should I ask her out, and if she says no, will we still be able to be friends?[/COLOR][/SIZE][/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet]Myself and some of my friends (including my husband 0 have been in simular situations. You can look at this situation at a few different angles [b]1.)[/b] You tell her that you like her as more than a friend. There's an awkward silence. Then she says," sorry, but we can never be more than friends". or "I just can't think of us that way." And then after that confession the relationship strains a bit and you end up losing a good friend. That would be the pessemistic POV on the subject. Who knows, you may actually be able to be friends if your confession and her reply go that way. So don't take that one to heart. [b]2.)[/b] You tell her that you like her as more than a friend and would like to go out on a date [i]date[/i]. She says why the hell not. And the next thing you know you guys are an exclusive couple and end up getting married. (Not bloody likely at the ripe old age of fifteen or so) That one happened with me. Of course I'm probably a bit older than you so maybe the ending scenerio won't be exactly like that. But hey if you get your first long term serious relationship out of the deal and you don't end up with any hard feelings, well, more power to you. [b]3.)[/b] You tell her that you like her as more than a friend and would like to go out on a date [i]date[/i]. She says why the hell not. You guys date for a few months and decide that it just won't work and try being just friends again. Which is actually all you guys will end up being so there are no hard feelings on either side. This one is almost like scenerio two with the exception of marriage. Lincoln (my hubby) had a friend like this named Alison. I don't know what happened to her all I know is that when he was up here in December he found out she was pregnant. [b]4.)[/b] YYou tell her that you like her as more than a friend and would like to go out on a date [i]date[/i]. She says why the hell not. You go out for a while then break up. However, neither (or one of) you can't seem to get around the fact that for a while you two were a couple. So then your friendship disolves. Yes, another pessemistic outlook. But sometimes you have to look at these things from both sides. Whichever one you chose, I hope your outcome isn't too bad. infact I hope it's pretty good.[/color]

[quote name='Sir Auron][font=Verdana][size=2]Edit: Chibi, the Coffe cup label, "Caution: Contents Hot" was, i believe, put on the cup as a direct response to this womans lawsuit. [/size'][/font][/quote] [color=darkviolet]The cups have always said : [b]Caution, contents extremely hot! Handle with care.[/b] Sometimes in both english and spanish. Even if they didn't it's a matter of common sense that you don't put a hot cup of coffee in your lap. I mean, there's steam coming from the cup, and you know you got coffee. So why the heck would you put the cup in your lap?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Well, you're only in your early teens, so I guess I can't tell you that you should ask him to go out and look at china patterns this weekend and have an intiment dinner with you and your parents. Nor can I tell you to start carrying around a copy of Modern Bride. Becuase he may not get the idea. Even if you start talking about commitment. It's too bad that your friends aren't being more helpful with this matter. You shouldn't be expected to go out with some guy just because he likes you and for the sake of having a boyfriend. That's like being in your mid twenties and people saying that you should marry some guy just so you'll have a husband and your biological clock is ticking. :rolleyes: This is a time when you need them and all they can say is you should go out with him? B.S.! What are they smoking? Maybe you should see if one of them would go out with him. You said that you already told him you wouldn't go out with him and he won't take no for an answer. Since he won't take a simple no for an answer and you're no where near my age so you can't use the stuf I said at the beginning. You should definately try going to your parents if he keeps following you around. Maybe they can talk to his parents about it. Just hope they don't get the same way as your friends and try to tell you how it's cute that someone has a crush on you. If they say something like that. then the next time he comes up to you and won't leave, I say punch him. Maybe that will get the whole 'no' through his thick skull.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I read about this woman in Jane Magazine who actually had to go to her gyno (you girls about 18 and over know what I mean) to get her hymen removed because it was too thick to be broken by regular penitration. (ie a tampon or sex) All I could think about when i read that was: Glad it didn't happen to me. But yeah, the pain and bleeding does depend on the person. For me the pain wasn't all that bad, but I had a fear that was about to fart. There is no bigger mood killer than when one of you farts during the process. Bra stories... Last time I was in Texas I went bowling with Lincoln and my dad. We were near the last frame and I started feeling this pain in my right breast. I went into the bathroom to see what it was. Turns out the wire of my underwire bra had come out and started poking me. I was pretty angry because that bra was from Victoria's Secret, I paid $30.00 for that bra and had only had it for a few months. I had also only brought one bra with me. [i]That[/i] bra. So I had to go over to the PX, borrow money from my dad to buy a new bra, then drive back to the hotel, with the stupid piece of metal sticking in my breast and change the bra. Needless to say, the next day I went over to Victoria's Secret to complain and they gave me a new bra. Last time I ever pay full price on a Victoria's Secret bra that's for sure. I got my first bra when I was in 3rd grade. (and by fourth grade I needed it) But I had to convince my mom to get me one because she kept telling me that once I started wearing a bra I'd be wearing one for the rest of my life (now I wish I was a tiny little 34A so I could get away without wearing a bra) but I kept pestering her so I got my first training bra for Christmas. Infront of my mom, her two sisters, my brother (who was five at the time) my mama, my papa and my dad. I guess it could have been worse, she could have given it to me Christmas Eve infront of my dad's side of the family. but still having your mom yell 'hold it up!' when she knows what it is is emberassing no matter how many people are in the room. The worst thing of it all. I still remember my Aunt marty yelling out: Why do you need a training bra when you don't have anything to train.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Don't ask me why, but I think the words blue and balls are funny. along with the word begonia. Has anyone noticed that you can get in one of these moods where every word or sentance someone says is funny? Hell, you can get into a mood like that and someone tells you their dog died and all you can do is laugh. Other than that, no I don't think there are too many funny words. Unless you count the word free booter which means pirate. [/color]

[color=darkviolet]I can play the Kazoo and the tamborine! I used to play the flute when I was younger, but I gave it up to take horse back riding. The only songs I can play on the piano are chopsticks and Hot Cross Buns. And Lincoln was teaching me to play the bass, but then he got sent to Iraq. The town I live in is called Gates named after General Horatio Gates from the American Revolution. Now you'd think with a town name like that the school team name would be something like the Patriots or the Minute Men. you know, something hokey and crap like that. but instead the school team is the Spartans. I guess it's so the teams in Greece won't feel left out. The next town over from the west is called Chili, but it's not pronounced like the food it's pronounced how it's spelled. But people who aren't from around here pronounce it like the food so now they have the Chili fest which is pronounced like the food. Then to confuse people even more we have a town called Charlotte, only we don't pronounce it like the city in the Carolinas we call it Shar lot. Why? Because we're a bunch of evil New Yorkers. Where I lived in Texas was pretty interesting too. I guess. The base Ft. Hood and the county, Bell. Were both named after the same Civil War General but I can't rememeber his first name. I just remember during the war he lost both his legs then died. Obviously since it's a southern base he fought for the confederacy. So does anyone else have strange stuff about their towns and cities?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I keep comming up with these large lists of people who I'd never share space with. I think I should change that so here's a list of people (and animals) that I'd let stay with me. [b]Luna from SailorMoon[/b]-She's a talking cat. Think about it, how cool would it be to have a talking cat as a roommate? She won't eat your food, she won't use up all your toiletries, and she won't feel the need to steal your clothes and call it borrowing. Plus, she talks. So you can at least have a conversation with her. Sure, she hangs around with Usagi, ChibiUsa and Ami. And yeah, she may be out doing a mission. And maybe instead of someone you have to split rent and utilities, you have to pay a pet deposite. But Luna isn't very messy so you'd get most of it back at the end of the lease. [b]Belldandy from Oh My Goddess[/b]-She just seems like a really nice person to have around. Plus she has a bit of magical powers, so there wouldn't be too much cleaning work to be done. And if you need someone to figure out your physics homework, well, there you go. [b]Kino Makoto from SailorMoon[/b]-I'd never have to cook again. It's as simple as that. [b]Quick Silver from X-Men evolution[/b]-Yeah sure, he's a bit evil...but he's cute. And if you could manage to get one of those InuYasha necklaces around his neck to make him obey well you can send him on errands and he'd have to come back. Okay, so his slight distaste for people who aren't mutants is probably a bad thing in the long run. but I think if I had one of those necklaces to put around his neck, it may chaneg his opinion. [b]Daria Morgandorffer from Daria[/b]-She's very much like me. Plus she likes to keep to herself so she won't keep trying to invade my space when I want privacy. Yay. She's also not so damn perky I'd want to knock the jolly right out of her. in my opinion, one of the best roommates possible. [b]InuYasha from well InuYasha[/b]-For no other reason than to beat the stupid out of him when he calls me names or uses bad language. Yeah, that's not a really good reason, but it's one of the best I have. That and for a two demensional character, he's pretty good looking. Plus, I could use him for a psychology project when I finally get a chance to go back to college. Between the sibling rivalry, the challenges of being hated by your only living relative, and the fact that he was betrayed by his first love, the guy is pricelss. [b]Faffy the dragon from Dave the Barbarian[/b] I don't know why, but I think it would be cool to have a pint sized dragon as a pet/roommate. That way, when the pilot light goes out on your stove you have someone to relight it for you! Perfect plan huh? That's all for now.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I have a crush on Transtic Nerve, but I don't think I'm his type. Oh well, there's always my next choice...Lincoln. :laugh: I think crushes are sweet too. I've definately had my share. Especially in grade school with the guy who cut my apple in half. Crushes are part of growing up. Of course, they're a great way of getting your heart broken too because you could find out that your crush is a serial puppy kicker. Or something else that makes you say: "what was i thinking?". As for internet crushes. Yeah, I had a few. Nothing serious tho the guy went by Sephorith and I went by Mnemosyne and it was a pokemon chat room. How serious was that? Sure was fun tho. Real life ones though. Well, as long as you're sure he or she isn't with anyone and you're dream won't be completely crushed by reality I say go for it![/color]

[color=darkviolet]I'm in an increasingly lazy mood right now so I'm not going to cut, past and quote every single person on here. Instead I'm going to be as close to the point as I possibly can. Bullying sucks in any form. But have you ever wondered why the bullies do it? **** by my Junior year of high school I actually felt sorry for the girl who followed me into the bathroom with three of her friends to threaten me and call me a lesbian (yes, I'm a closet lesbian. my marriage to a guy just proves how lesbian I am) because for all her popularity, she could never actually feel happy unless she was making others feel bad about themselves. Her choice just had to be me, the over weight out cast girl who honestly didn't give 2 ****s about her. Actually it inspired me to learn a bit about psychology. I think most people bully because they have such a low self esteem they will never be happy unless they feel that everyone around them is miserable. Then there are the ones who get a sick thrill out of feeling more powerful by bringing everyone down. After all this, I now think that that girl was the one who needed paxil and weekly visits to the school psychologist not me. Of course, not everyone is thick skinned and considers being chased into a bathroom and having her life threatened to be an enlightening experiance. Those people who are constantly bullied can become either suicidal or homicidal. neither of these is an extremely desirable trait. This proves that bullying is not a helpful learning tool, but instead detrimental to a person's mental growth. If the situation is not addressed properly (Ie: [i]not[/i] gathering someone's math class together so they can all say how much they hate a person because some stupid teacher thinks that this could help ease tensions. Oh yeah, that happened to me when I was a Sophomore. One of the kids said that he thought I seemed too smart :rolleyes: and that's why he was rude to me) there could be some pretty dire consequences at the end. Unfortunately, as long as humans continue to congregate together forge bonds and get all competetive there will be bullying. While I don't feel that bullying is an integral part of life, I do see it as an unavoidable part of growing up. You don't need to be bullied, but some kids do seem to get it more than others. And for different reasons too. You can get bullied for being poor (which coincidentally is something that you really can't change unless you can manage to get your parents to win the lotto. So there goes the pressure to change theory.) YOu can be bullied because of your weight, any other physical condition. Hell you can even be bullied for being to smart. And if that's the case, what are you supposed to do, become a moron so you don't get made fun of? But there is a point that wrist cutter made. Most of this bullying happens in high school. High school (at least in the US) only lasts for four years. Sure they may feel like the longest four years of your life, but after that you never have to go back there again. Yeah there is always the chance of being bullied on the job by some moron who didn't quite get the idea that they're in the real world now. But if he persists there's always the great American past time of a law suite for harrassment to deture any further abuse on your person. In conclusion, that stupid rhyme about sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me is wrong. Because words can hurt. Okay. I've said my peice. take it as you will[/color]

[color=darkviolet]This is a general anime/manga quiz thread. It doesn't have just one particular anime or manga in mind. Basically what you do is someone posts a question, then if you know the answer you reply then post your own question. Kind of like the lyrics game, but with a particular answer in mind. I'll start off with a relatively easy question: [b]Question[/b]- What is the name of the author who wrote both Oh My Goddess! (Ah Megami Sama!) and You're Under Arrest? I eagerly await the answer.[/color]

[color=darkviolet] I had a really wierd dream once back in Texas. I had just finished watching InuYasha and went to bed. Anyway, I had this dream that somehow Lincoln, our prick of a roommate Joe, and I ended up in fuedal Japan and ran into Sesshomaru. Well, Joe has a Napoleon complex in addition to an arrogance complex, a ego the size of Alaska and a brain that isn't connected to his mouth. So he decided to say some stuff to Sesshy, even though I told him not to, and Sesshy ate Joe. :devil: Yes, I know. Sesshomaru just kills people, he doesn't eat them in the anime or the manga. But he [b]ATE[/b] Joe! :laugh: Then after that he asked for some Tums. The only reason I remember this dream is because I made it into a short story. Now, sometimes I think dreams are somewhat connected to what sould happen a bit down the road. That said, a few weeks after the Sesshy eats Joe dream. Joe got in big trouble with one of his NCOs because his estranged wife said he wasn't paying child support and he tried to tell the NCO off (As far as I know, this guy is still only an E4 like my husband) The NCO gave him an article 15 for saying what he did. Which I guess is the military equivillant to being eatten by Sesshomaru[/color]

[color=darkviolet]With me it depends on the quality of the dub. You know, how badly it was chopped up, how good the translations were. Do the VAs make you want to bang your head into a wall repeatedly while you watch the show? I've noticed that a lot of people mentioned that they didn't like the SailorMoon dub. I'm one of those people. Not only did both DiC and CWi give Zoisite and Fish Eye sex changes respectively. But they changed the names to english (except for Hotaru in SMS and everyone was calling her Hoe ta roo) which really wasn't necessary. DiC messed up the attacks (except for SailorMercury's in the second season) then CWi got a hold of it and turned Michiru and Haruka into cousins. Couldn't decide whether to have Neptune and Uranus say their planets before the attacks, made Pluto actually yell her attack when it was so nice just being whispered, and had Jupiter changing her attack every other episode from Jupiter Thunder clap zap to Sparkling wide pressure. And then there was the episode with Telullu in SailorMoonS. There were three different names for the Tellun plant: Heart Snatcher plant, Some name I can't remeber and of course the Tellun. And in SMSs CWi decided to change only SuperSailorMar's attack from Mars Flame Sniper to Mars Flame Shooter. Why? And Terri Hawke's voice made me want to hide behind a couch. Basically SailorMoon was a very badly done dub and I didn't like it because of the lack of consistancy. Awful scripts (Unazuki as Lizzie saying What up dawg) and frightening VA's Naru turned Molly and had a brooklyn accent and Serena made me want to hide under my couch. And don't get me started on the Rini dub voice and how CWI called her SailorMini moon. It was enough to make any sailorMoon watcher to want some moon gorgeous medication. So in that case, the sub is better. But take a look at some of the other dubs like RayEarth, Trigun and Gundam Wing. The dialog for the dub is almost identicle to the original. In my opinion the VAs don't make you want to run away and hide. I think the quality of dubbing depends on what company is working on the anime and who their target audiance is above anything else. Well, that's my opinion on the subject. anyone else?[/color]

[color=darkviolet]There are always questions about maturity and such when you go into any sort of age difference, but here's my opinion: Anything that's less than seven years is okay. But then you have to consider things like the age of consent laws in your state and statutory rape. And also your age has a bit to do with it as well. A 21 one year old dating a 28 year old is one thing, but a twelve year old and a 19 year old is definately another. I don't have myuch of a problem with age differences. Although with the exception of two ex-boyfriends I've always been the older one in the relationship. I'm eleven months and eight days older than my husband and that hasn't worked out too bad. Then again, I'm going to be 23 and he'll be 22 next Friday. So maybe that doesn't help matters. In some ways her parents are right because what exactly does a 17 almost 18 year old have in common with a 15 year old with the exeption of they have 2 arms 2 legs and so on. I don't know if this helped at all, but I figured I could atleast try.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]The character I feel I now represent is any aniem character that's been made pregnant in a fanfic. But not one of those crazy ones. I mean like Kagura (I will not name drop my fanfic) or Kagome. Actually I read a fanfic where KinoMakoto/SailorJupiter ends up pregnant, so maybe her too. Just not a fanfic where Miroku manages to get pregnant because that's just strange even for me. I still think I constantly represent Daria Morgandorffer from Daria. I wear glasses (and contacts.) I'm blunt to the point of being rude or sarcastic. Plus I was a bit of an outcast in High School. yeah long live the Outcasts of high school for one day we shall rule the world! Or maybe Bette Midler's character in Stepford Wives, before she was turned into a robot. She was very blunt and out there. Oh and she liked to tell her husband off even though I'm sure she loved him. Of course, the character I most represent is myself in whichever characters I create in my stories or what have you. So far no mangaka, author, animator or screenwriter has been able to make a character who's exactly me.[/color]

[quote name='Sailor Ganymede']tell me how can you get ytv? I don't think I have it on my TV, and I am a major otaku. Anyways, the first episode I saw of Inuyasha was episode 10 (Phantom Showdown!) and it rocked! ^^[/quote] [color=darkviolet]Ytv is a television station in Canada. (The only reason I know this is because I've been to Toronto too many times to count) Meaning that you can only get YTv in Canada and I'm not even sure which provences it shows in. Meaning that if you don't live in Canada, you probably won't be able to get Ytv. It's like living in Rochester and trying to get Fox34 from Syracuse because you got it in Canadaigua and you think they may still play SailorMoon. It can't be done. First episode of InuYasha I saw was the one with Yura of the Demon hair. I watched it at Poxon Guest house in Ft. Hood TX. I also made Lincoln watch with me. Of course, my first exposure to InuYasha was the Manga I borrowed from one of my friends. that was back in 2001 and I didn't know if it was made into an anime yet. One thing that's getting me about the dub (besides the voices, barring Koga because his VA is Scott O'neil who also voiced Duo :love: ) is how they pronounce some of the words. and I don't mean the Japanese names I mean actual english words. How the hell can you misspronounce Priestess? InuYasha's VA seems to be adding the ess on as an after thought. :mad: Then there's mistranslation, and changing the attacks. It's enough to make you want to write Rumiko Takahashi a condolance letter.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I'm from a small town outside of a large city in Western NYS. It's actually not a bad place to live if you like the weather changing every few seconds. If you come to stalk me, may I recommend eatting at Nick Tahoes first? You can experiance local food and get heartburn at the same time so you may forget about the stalking. As for other places I've lived well, from 11, September 2002 to 16, November 2003 I lived in Killeen TX. That's a small town an hour and a half north of Austin . The reason I lived there was because my husband is in the Army and was stationed at Ft.Hood. He's in Iraq now. Will I ever move back to Texas? In two words: Hell NO! Right now I work temp jobs and I'm in the eigth month of my pregancy. When they can't find a job for me I do odd jobs for my parents and help my mom with her job. Like fixing Product definitions and making sure numbers are right. The boring stuff. Aside form inciting riots on message boards I also do cross country jumping, write ride my bike, hang out with friends and go shopping. But guess which ones I can do during the pregnancy.[/color]

[QUOTE=wrist cutter]:eek: Let's have unprotected sex!![/QUOTE] [color=darkviolet] :D I already did that! Now I'm going to Disney world...after I do something about this small child who keeps calling me mommy. Now about those period stories... this one is kinda nasty. :eek: My worst one was when I had a yeast infetction because I was on some antibiotics and then I got one. And all I had in the apartment was tampons, which you can't use during a yeast infection. I ended up going up to Wal*Mart with some toilet paper in my panties then buying the pads and the medicine for the infection. After I got home I found out that I had bled on the seat of my car as well as my clothes so I must've been waking around with a nice blood stain on my khakis! Why me? I hope you enjoyed that story, thank you for listening. Oh and btw you can't have sex when you have a yeast infection I read that in a magazine.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Warning, some of these look alikes may not be found in anime or video games. 1.) [b]Group one: Sesshomaru (InuYasha) Kunzite (SailorMoon) Sephorith (FF7?)[/b] All three of them have silvery hair for starters and it's quite long. Of course, Sesshomaru's is much longer than either Sephorith's or Kunzite's. But both Kunzite and Sephorith have glowing eyes. Then there's that lovely attitude that both Sesshomaru and Kunzite have. Both are quite level headed and a bit icy with the exception of certain people. For Sesshy it's Rin and for the anime Kunzite it's Zoicite. Yes, that has nothingto do with physical features, but still.... 2.) [b]Group two: Rubeus and David Bowie[/b] I think it's the hair. And maybe at times the clothes. And I'm talking about the 70's David Bowie who kind of looked like a grl. Sure, Rubeus is only 2D and a drawing and David Bowie is a human person walking around and stuff. but the whole thing was never specified that you could only compare 2D to 2D. 3.) [b]Final: Group Three Kagome's Grampa (InuYasha) and Rei's Grampa (SailorMoon)[/b] Short old Shinto priests with granddaughters who have strange life experiances. Need I say more? I'll add more later[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I got this idea after listing Amarilly's clotheline alley as a good underrated movie. What are some of teh most memorable movie lines and moments you can remember? For the sake of conversation, please tell what movie your choices are from and why you think they're memorable. My first choice: [b]One more crack like that and I'll crown her-Amarilly/Mary Pickford. Amarilly's clotheline alley. [/b] One of the reasons this line is memorable is because it's one of the few that the movie actually put on the screen. The reason for that is because Clotheline alley was made in 1918 so it was a silent film. The other reason is becuase Mary Pickford has been to this playboy type guy's house to meet his rich mom. His mom actually says: [b]What a cute specimen, I'm sure we can turn her into a project.[/b] That would probably explain why Mary Pickford's character got mad. I'll have a few more later, but it's pretty late right now so I can't really think straight.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Sometimes it's enough to remember to turn off the Tonight show because we just get so tired. I think I vaguely remember a monologue during...okay TMI! :laugh: There's always a chance we get to use a mixed cd with songs like Boys of Summer by the Ataris mixed with Glory of love covered by New Found Glory . Sometimes just Lincoln messing around with his bass and some music from the laptop (last time I was with him) works just fine. Along with the fact we won't see eachotehr for a few months. But yeah, some fun romantic punk works just fine. And if that fails, hello Leno![/color]

[color=darkviolet]For some reason the SailorMoonS movie always sticks in my head along with parts of the SailorMoonSs movie. I think it may be the quote by SailorNEptune from the 3rd movie though for reasoning why such a bad movie sticks with me. Because Neptune makes a comment about how there are some things that only adults can enjoy.. Of course, SailorMoonS is a stand out because the movie was also covered in the eleventh issue of the SailorMoon manga. Meaning that Naoko wrote it herself. It's just such a cute romantic movie at the end. It has one of my favorite anime songs in it too: Moon Light Destiney. Then of course there's the Ranma 1/2 movie (I can't remember the name) where Akane is kidnapped and they have to go after her. But I think the best part of that movie is the opening where Happosai grabs a bra from someone's clotheline and goes: 'A brassier A brassier!' I also like how when Mr. Saotome is a panda he keeps holding up signs like 'It's national be kind to animals week. You'll have to excuse me a bit on the Ranma1/2 movie, I haven't seen it in a while. I also liked Spirited Away, It was the last movie I watched with Lincoln before I went back to NY and he went to Iraq. The father in the movie reminded me of my dad. Especialy the line where he says: Don't worry, I have four wheel drive! I should probably go watch it again to give a better opinion. Well, there you have it a brief veiw of three or four of my favorite anime movies.[/color]

[color=darkviolet]Short and sweet announcement that people can add to if they wish. I read in Animerica that Viz is releasing the first InuYasha movie, Love that Transends Time, in select cities in America this summer. (That part is to assure you that this isn't just some internet rumor) I kind of hope that one of the cities is mine. Has anyone gotten to see the movie prior to this release? I have a really bad fansub copy on a disc that can only be played on my computer. The delay with the subtitles is pretty bad so I don't really know what they're saying until after they say it. So I think it would be nice to see the actual good footage. Of course, even if the movie isn't released anywhere near where I live (or other people for that matter) that does mean that the movie will be avaible on DVD like Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away so I can throw out the fansub. Do you think this may prompt other anime movies to be released to the US and Canada? And if they show this movie in your area will you go see it even if it's dubbed? [/color]

[color=darkviolet]Just remember, you asked for this input. [b][u]Best Underrated movie[/u] Mystric Pizza[/b] One of Julia Roberts first movies. I haven't seen it in a while, but I thought it was quite sweet. One you may not have heard of that I saw a few weeks ago: [b]Amarilly's Clotheline Alley with Mary Pickford[/b] In this one she's a poor girl who gets tricked by a rich play boy. But of course she succeeds in the end. The lines that they show her saying are kind of funny. Even for this day and age This movie was shot back in 1918 so it has no sound except for a piano in the background and no color. The annoying part of silent movies is that they only give out a few lines here and there. The rest of the time you have to pretty much make up the lines in your head. Which can lead to some hilarious results. Of course they do give you some choice lines in silent films. One of my favorite from this one is: [b]Don't breath a word of ths to anyone, but Amarilly's getting gay with some dude.[/b] This can be taken a bit out of context since the meaning they were going for was happy. There was also a funny scene where these three neighborhood girls where trying to figure out where Amarilly got her muff. One of the girls mentions that she hasn't seen her cat around lately. Maybe it wasn't an underated movie back in it's day, but not enough people really talk about classic movies like that. I love my classic movie channel :love: I guess maybe I like more of the older movies because they seem to have worked harder with less. [b][u]Most overrated movie[/u] [/b] I'll probably get some negative feedback for this one, but: [b]Blair Witch Project[/b] No contest. Everyone kept talking about how great a movie it was and how it scared them. Everyone including my friend Amanda's brother, which is how I wound up seeing it with two of my friends. None of us thought it was the least bit suspenseful. I thought the R rating was just because of all the f's in the character's dialog. It seemed like some reason to swear for a good two hours. Don't get me wrong, I swear as much as everyone else, but I do know you can make a good movie without saying f this and that for 120 minutes. After the movie Amanda, Becky and I all went to Hollywood video to complain to Amanda's brother. Now, after a while I thought, maybe I just didn't see it in the right setting. So after Blair Witch came out on HBO, I sat down and watched it with my brother. Nothing. and my brother also thought it sucked. For a suspense movie, it didn't make me suspenseful in the least. And I scare and get suspensed (is that the correct term?) very easily. Heck, I jumped at the preview for Anaconda Search for the Blood Orchid when I went to go see White Chicks this afternoon. I can't even watch the previews for Lost without wanting my stuffed cow with the Ft. Polk t-shirt. But I'm convinced my friend's six year old could have sat through Blair witch and only come out of it with a mouth like a Drill Sergeant. So there are my choices. Read them and wonder what I do with my spare time when I can't watch movies from the 1910's[/color]

[color=darkviolet]I didn't do much for the fourth. Both my NEw York friends were out doing other things and my other friends live out of state so there went the first plan. I went to go see White Chicks with my aunt. That was a funny movie. Then of course it rained and there was a thunderstorm, so the fireworks display was canceled. I just hope I can talk to my husband on line or this whole stupid day will be a bomb. But yeah, happy Independance day. Did you know that in 1852 Frederick Douglas was asked by the Rochester Woman's Abolitionist group to make a speech on the 4th of July? He refused and then on the 5th Douglass made one of his most famous speeches where he mentioned how the American celebration of Independence was a sham to the American slaves. Yeah, we started fighting for freedom in 1776, but when did everyone get their inallienable rights?[/color]
