I haven't seen enough new movies this year to answer the question of top ten fav movies of 2004. Though I've seen more than ten, I guess, I couldn't find ten that I would classify as favs. I'm not sure I can even remember ten, most current movies zip right out of my head that fast.I'm in the same boat as DR CP on this one, with the exception that I'm not even sure I saw ten new movies.
I don't mean is Hisaka actually a Mac or a PC, I mean does Hisaka USE a Mac or a PC?
DR Hisaka - You're much closer to the devastating quake than we are here. The news must be horrific in Japan.
.
Heading my list as the all-round worst film of 2004: the bloated, flatulent, hyperbolic VAN HELSING. I could vomit on the ground.
DR Panni, have you seen SIDEWAYS? Use your guild pass to go to a screening of it if you haven't and tell us about it.
DR Jay has seen SIDEWAYS, I believe.
Sideways: Lovers of fine wine and poignant small-scale character-driven comedy/drama should run to see this film. My kind of movie. This and Garden State are probably the two best films I've seen yet this year.
Elmoore, I am almost afraid to tell you my sons and I are playing the Playstation Van Helsing game and loving it. I believe we are battling Frankenstein's monster right now, but he is cloaked and his "ID" only has ?????? underneath his figure, so I believe we have to beat him first to find out he is really a "friend." The graphics are really incredible in this game, if I do say so myself.
"A Home At The End Of the World" - I really hope this movie does not get overlooked come Oscar time - at least not in the Screenplay department. And it would be nice to see Sissy Spacek get a nom for Supporting Actress.
The other thing about the Mac, is that I can get one of those music programs where I can play songs on a keyboard and it creates at least a rough version of the music - that would be most helpful.
I will say that I have experienced a rather strange latency problem (no jokes, please) with my MIDI setup and notation software since upgrading to Windows XP. This is especially weird since I'm now using a USB port for my MIDI keyboards, which are supposedly much faster than serial or parallel ports. Who knew?
...We returned to NYC with a most wonderful Christmas gift, a DVD/VCR in one deck....Now we can watch movies on the television (where you're supposed to watch them :-) and I can continue to watch a backlog of tapes....Yes, watching movies on the television is much better than watching them on the refrigerator. With the exception of Sonia Henie flicks, of course.
I'm back
Good news from the doctor. I will have to have some surgery, but it doesn't seem to be anything more than a rather big cyst, so on the 21st of January I'll be going under the knife, and should be back to normal in a week or so.

Yesterday it was smoling and today it is comething. BK is a veritable mint for coining new and exciting words. :)Comething is not a new word at all. It is a very old word, dating back to the Middle Ages in Jolly Olde Englande. It looks strange to our eyes now, because we don't divide the word properly.

It is properly "cometh-ing." As in the title The Iceman Cometh, but made more emphatic with the additional "ing" at the end. It is, of course, a verb, and our esteemed BK used it quite correctly in his notes.
"Comething" is best remembered as part of the catchphrase on an olde Medieval radioe programme, when a woman would call out "Henrye Aldriche!" and the lad would reply "Comething, Mother!"
Okay, so far, DRs Ann, Jennifer and Ben have indicated that they would like to borrow my copy of the "What If?" DVD. So, if Jennifer would send me her address, I'll send it out and it can make the rounds!
DR George, now that DRBen has a DVD player, he can borrow mine. I hope to se him and Baxter this week.
Can someone answer this question: On a Mac, which I know is just about virus-free, if you install Windows for Mac, does that enable the Mac user to be prone to all those stupid and endless Windows viruses - do you need the same protection?
I know I had planned to bake today, but... Just not in the mood to bake right now. Feeling a little tired, in need of rest. But, who knows, I usually don't start baking until around 10:30pm, so... The night is still young!
I also somehow pulled some muscle in my left shoulder - I think it happened when I was rough-housing with my nephew the other night. It doesn't ache, but it does "surprise" every now and then.
Two things, DR Jose. You don't by any chance have pointed ears, do you? Isn't night the time the Keebler elves do their baking? ;)
Also, ouch. That doesn't sound like a very nice suprise at all.
...So instead of cooking, I stopped off at McD’s to get us all (by all I mean the dogs as well) a hamburger....I've said it before, I'll say it again.
They didn’t give me my whole order! They’re on the receipt and I paid for them but the dogs were shorted their burgers. Grrrr. I didn’t feel like getting back in the car a third time so they made money off of me. I hate it that I can NEVER go through that stupid drive through and get the correct order.
Danise - you should call up McDonald's Head Office (get the number from the 800 information) and complain. You'll get not only satisfaction, but some free meals out of it.
DD gets more free stuff from complaining than you can imagine. Right now she's waiting for an $80. bottle of perfume from Tiffany's which they offered to make up for bad customer service. Tiffany's! If they can do it, McD's can cough up a few gift certificates for you.
Here's today's out of the mouths of babes hilarious Van Helsing related quote:
We were playing the Van Helsing videogame earlier, and Van Helsing was being attacked by hordes of Ray Harreyhausen-esque skeletons. Gabe shouted, "Watch out, it's the living impaired!" Then, a moment later, "Dad, what does impaired mean?"
DR George, I sent you an email. I hope you got it.
I am currently shopping for an all -region code DVD player...boy the prices are not bad at all! I am steering towards a JVC, but if any DRs have recommendations please do let me know...www.220-electronics.com (http://www.220-electrics.com) is having a big sale that ends on Sunday!!
Maybe it's just four seasonal viewing.
