Lookout, The (2007)
IMDB rating: 7.40
Plot: An admired high school hockey player (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) with a bright future foolishly takes a drive in the night with his girl friend and two other friends with his headlights off with devastating results. The former athlete is left with a brain injury that prevents him from remembering many things for extended periods of time. To compensate, he keeps notes in a small notebook to aid him in remembering what he is to do. He also lives with a blind friend (Jeff Daniels) who aids him. Obviously, with the mental incapacitation, he is unable to have meaningful work. Thus he works as a night cleaning man in a bank. It is there he comes under the scrutiny of a gang planning to rob the bank. The leader (Matthew Goode) befriends him and gets him involved with a young woman (Isla Fisher) who further reels him in. After they get close and after reeling him in with his own failures, the bank plan unfolds. Confused but wanting to escape his current existence, he initially goes along with the scheme. After realizing he is being used, he attempts to stop the robbery, which of course immediately goes awry. Bruce McGill and Alberta Watson also co-star as the young man’s parents, who still search for the person that was there before the tragic crash.

Look, Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman (2006)
IMDB rating: 8.00
Plot: In 1938, two aspiring comic strip talents, Jerry Siegal and Joe Shuster, published a character that would create a new genre of fantasy, Superman, the first superhero. This film explores the creation of the character and his subsequent evolution over the decades through various media. With various interviews of noted creative luminaries, the film shows how the character has adapted to the times and bounced back from times when he felt irrelevant to always regain his prominence as one of the great heroes of popular culture.
In the 'Superman' documentary, all living characters of the genre are interviewed except Tom Welling. Why?
In the documentary, "Look, up in the sky!: The amazing story of Superman", all living characters involved with the genre are interviewed except Tom Welling – who is the star of TV’s hit show, ‘Smallville’. Tom Welling has been a major contribution to the genre, and is a major celebrity still living. Why was he not involved? Did he refuse, or was he ignored? Or did other schedules conflict?
that is a pretty glaring omission. I haven’t saw it. was this the same show I saw on a&e a few months ago narrated by kevin spacey? it seems like there were 2 shows like that, one on a&e the other on discovery channel and I’m pretty sure I saw tom welling in one of them.
surely he wouldn’t refuse,and it wouldn’t take that long to get some clips so schedule conflict should be out. maybe he wasn’t because technically he isn’t superman yet.
but I’m sure I have saw him on some superman/superhero doc where he was talking about meeting christoper reeve in that one episode and his(tom’s) part in the grand scheme of things.
I’ll have to rent it

Because he is not yet technically Superman. His character is Clark Kent. Until he puts on the red tights, he’s in a whole different world

AVI Files are now AVI documents?
I was on my computer today, listening to internet radio and downloading a movie(video clip, AVI) from Megaupload. When it was done downloading, my computer slowed for three seconds. I noticed that all my AVI files are now AVI documents. I can still play them, but my computer sees them as AVI documents, not as a AVI video clip. I also tried to download a t.v. episode, and my computer says I’m dowloading an AVI document, not a video clip. How did this happen? Should I be on the lookout for a problem like a trojan? Thanks in advance for any help.

Mask of the Ninja (2008)
IMDB rating: 3.40
Plot: Their vengeance is relentless, their method is ritual, their weapon is secret, and the motive is in their blood. In a heavily wooded private estate in the Malibu Hills, towering above the tumbling Pacific, millionaire CEO Kenji Takeo and his daughter, Miko, prepare for the arrival from Japan of Takeo’s wife, Kumiko. But the calm of Solstice Canyon is shattered by a meticulously planned stealth attack on the Takeo home by a masked band of ninja assassins. In a flash, Takeo’s guards are killed. The mansion is overtaken, Takeo is killed, and Miko is left for dead. Arriving at the bloody scene is Detective Jack Barrett who encounters Miko-the only living witness. In a state of shock, she repeats only one word like an eerie mantra: kokushibyu. In her native language, it means Black Death.

also banned are witch of the black forest, card destruction and pot of greed.
another thing some of these cards arent all that needed like des kangroo,fusiler dragon,reaper of the cards, dream clown,light of intervention,mad sword beast,big eye,strike ninja,fear from the dark,dragon capture jar,stop defense and trap master.try taking these cards out and duel with the smaller deck. by the way i can see your trying to making a zombie/fiend/graveyard theme deck, stick with the idea but try to find a strategy with your cards because if you dont have a plan your not going to win.buy a zOmbie structure deck it might help.

Baader Meinhof Complex, The (2008)
IMDB rating: 7.40
Plot: Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the yet fragile German democracy. The radicalised children of the Nazi generation lead by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold. And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows he’s only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.
Is anybody Local to Berlin; or knows Berlin very well? I am travelling there in a few weeks and need to track a location down.
Ive seen the film "The Baader Meinhof Complex" and would like to see Ulrike Mienhof’s gravestone.
Ive been on Google Maps and tracked the location to:
Heilig-Kreuz-Kirchhof, Mariendorf,
Cemetery, which I believe is North of Tegel Airport.
Ive found U-Bhan stations around the area although they look a distance away. Does anybody know if the cemetery is in realistic walking distance; and how long it would take to walk from the nearest U-Bhan Station?
Also is the cemetery large; is her grave easy to locate. Ive tracked down its in "Zone A"? Does anybody know where that is in the cemetery?
Any help would be much appreciated
BT
UK
In reality Ulrike Meinhof is burried in the city of Stuttgart not in Berlin so you won’t find her gravestone there.
The burial was very controvers at the time the major of Stuttgart defended the right of the terrorists to get a burial place and said that with the dead even terrorists aren’t to be considered as public ennemies anymore

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
IMDB rating: 6.80
Plot: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is a tale of adventure on the open road. When Dante and Randal (of Clerks fame) get a restraining order to keep the punchy Jay and his hetero life-mate, Silent Bob, from selling drugs in front of the Quick Stop convenience store, their lives are suddenly empty. They find new purpose when their friend, Brodie, informs them a movie is being made featuring two infamous characters based on their likenesses. After visiting one of the creators of the Bluntman and Chronic, Holden McNeil, they set out to get what fat movie cash they deserve and hopefully put an end to people slandering them on the Internet. Along the way, they learn the rules of the road from a hitchhiking George Carlin, ride with a group of gorgeous jewel thieves, and incur the wrath of a hapless wildlife marshal for liberating an orangutan named Suzanne. The quest takes them from New Jersey to Hollywood where a showdown involving the police, the jewel thieves, and the Bluntman and Chronic filmmakers will decide the fate of Suzanne, Jay, Silent Bob, and their good names.
Anybody notice that in Land Of The Lost, 3 Character's names are Marshall,Will and Holly, In another movie….?
Will Farrel’s character name in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is Marshall Willenholly…..is this Irony or intentional?
I think it’s just ironic. the character names are the same as the land of the lost TV show from the 70’s. sorry.

How Can I Help Comfort My Soldier?
My boyfriend very recently returned from Iraq. However, he "returned" to where he’s stationed overseas, and not back here in the States yet. He went out with friends last night, something he’s always greatly enjoyed, only to text me, while he was drunk, saying that he wasn’t having fun and he should have just stayed home and talked to me. We text a bit more, and again, he said how uncomfortable he felt being there, and how a few times, he just walked off to sit in a corner to text me, just kind of wanting to be left alone. After being as secluded as he was in Iraq, it wasn’t REALLY surprising to me that he was uncomfortable. He brought it up again this morning, and now that he was sober, he almost seemed more bothered by it.
I’m aware of PTSD and how soldiers often don’t like being in large groups, especially with noise and lots of physical contact. I’m not saying he has PSTD, however, I’m not naive to the triggers, and this problem does worry me. So I immediently looked up ways to help him cope. Unfortunately, all the ways I found to help him were things to do while you’re physically with him (like taking him outside to talk, choosing to go to more relaxed places, letting him pick where to sit, etc…). With him being overseas for a few more months I don’t what I can do to help him from here. I told him to give it time and that it was a huge adjustment back, but I don’t want to say something to upset him, make a big deal out of it and bother him, or say the wrong things. I want so bad to make things better, and being so far away, I’m at a total loss of what I can do for him. Does anyone know any way I could comfort him in this situation?
Any help and suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!
He always tells me I’m amazing just cause I listen to him, but I always wish I could do more, you know? But if that really is the best I can do for him, I’ll obviously keep doing it.
Like I said, I’d love (and so would he) if we could just do something together, but like I said, he’s in another country right now, so it’s not an option.
I didn’t mean he has PTSD. I know that’s a big deal, and he was never in the situation to see anyone even injured in a minor sense, none the less a SERIOUS injury or fatality. I guess I just worded it wrong. I’m just worried cause the things he was saying were really unlike him. Like I said, personally, it makes SENSE that he (and you "Mistress Mayhem") would want to be left alone a little. I guess I just feel bad that he was so excited for going out, then was unexpectedly disappointed by not having a good time.
I know they change. I’ve had enough friends go through it to know. But it makes me feel like I should be able to do more for him then.
Be supportive and positive when he calls. The best thing you can do sometimes is just listen and let him vent or get things off his chest. Don’t push him for more information. Let him tell you things when it is right for him.
If he seems to get worse suggest that he goes sees the medics.
If this was is first deployment maybe it is just taking him a while to readjust.
Its sad how people change to war. ermm take him out just you and him. Not in large numbers try take his mind of it. he might enjoy paintball
Toby | Feb 07, 2010
wanting to be alone does not always mean they have PTSD, I watched a press for four months and MWR had a danc efor new years on post and even though I was off for the holiday during my deployment, I did not want to be bothered, I did not have PTSD because I never saw buddies blown up by an IED or went on patols or saw suicide bombers ect. I just wanted to be left alone.

Years after I returned from the First Gulf War I came to the realization that Homer’s "The Odyssey" may be a poetic description of what life was like after Odysseus returned home to Ithaca.
If you’re not familiar with "The Odyssey" it’s one of the oldest pieces of recorded literature in human history. The story tells about Odysseus’ seven year journey he is forced to take while trying to get back from the destruction of Troy. His adventures include encounters with The Cyclops, being seduced by The Sirens, and being sent into the underworld by Circe to get advice on how to find his way home.
Early in the journey, Odysseus and his crew encounter the Lotus Eaters, which are people that live on an island and are known for eating a plant which causes them to behave like they are intoxicated. Circe is the equivalent of a modern psychologist which causes people to look deep into themselves to find out why they behave the way they do. Probably, far more importantly, nobody recognizes Odysseus when he first comes home. Needless to say, there are other parallels that combat vets go through.
Every combat vet that I’ve talked to that is familiar with "The Odyssey" has agreed wholeheartedly with this interpretation of the "The Odyssey", including a scholar that is an Iran-Iraq war vet that will be publishing this idea in a book on war fiction. The book will soon be published in Iran.
In addition to recommending that your boyfriend read "The Odyssey" with the above idea in mind, I can also send him, and you, a copy of a stage play that I’m writing with this interpretation in mind. I’m about half way through the first draft, and you can contact me through my avatar if you’re interested or have questions. The stage play is titled "An End To War. An End To Peace."

I’m going through a nearly identical situation with my boy too, so I can definitely understand where you’re coming from on this. I also, because I have so many friends in the military who have been deployed, feel like that means I should be Miss Fix-It and be able to make everything all better! It unfortunately doesn’t work that way. The best thing you can do it just "leave the lines open". I’m sure he knows you’re there for him, so you don’t have to press the subject.
Since you said he was texting you and saying he’d rather be with you, he probably also just misses you like crazy! Think of your favorite thing to do. If you had to pick that, or seeing your boyfriend, you’d probably pick your boyfriend at this point, huh? Haha! Same situation for him!
I think you were right in telling him to "give it time" and it being a huge adjustment back to life before Iraq. It’s true!
I hope things work out! Feel free to message me anytime if you’d like to talk more!

hello,
it might not even be ptsd, he might be developing social phobia, anxiety.
in any case, it is a good thought to have him tested for vitamin or mineral deficiencies.
if the hormone levels in your body are not right, you can feel anxious, irritated, or whatever.
these hormone levels are also influenced by food.
if you want more info, please go the wiki page on Abram Hoffer, orthomolecular therapist.

The Doors (1991)
IMDB rating: 6.90
Plot: Oliver Stone’s homage to 60’s rock group The Doors also doubles as a biography of the group’s late singer, the “Electric Poet” Jim Morrison. The movie follows Morrison from his days as a film student in Los Angeles to his death in Paris in 1971, at the age of 27. The movies features a tour- de-force performance by Val Kilmer, who not only looks like Jim Morrison’s long-lost twin brother, but also sounds so much like him that he did much of his own singing. It has been written that even the surviving Doors had trouble distinguishing Kilmer’s vocals from Morrison’s originals.
