Hollywoodland
Ben Affleck is so "average" to me as an actor. Just nothing stands out or is remember-able about any of his performances.[huh] I find it just stupid the way casting is done. Like that twerp Regis Philbin was the only warm body with a SAG card. They had him on every morning and damned near...- Twitch

You've got it, ...you lose it, and it's gone!
I find myself having no idea of the names of most of the actors in the movies of the day. If you read the names off I couldn't pick them out of a line up.:o That doesn't mean they are all bad but simply that I have lost interest in any magic that Hollywood once had...if it ever did. Lou...- Twitch

How to analyse movies?
No exactly related to this question, as it is obviously some sort of legitimate assignment of work, but I find it unecessary to analyze movies. As soon as began doing that I quit enjoying them. I simply watch to be entertained. I say this as I hear too many folks getting into deep analyses of...- Twitch

School Supplies Overload
My wife and daughters all work for a local school district. Another thing they're famous for is hiring folks with tons of lofty degrees for 6 figure salaries but who have no actual people skills or business management skills. And running a school district is a business. They all scurry about...- Twitch

No wonder Ebay rules
I simply gave up on retail and went online partly due to the fact that Comp USA and Frys are a bit distant for me. Also a word of warning from friends who have has service done- Fry's is bad for PC service, though good for selection and prices of other stuff. The customer service or customer...- Twitch

Even I am having a hard time believing
Good deal!:) Someone got some cash and someone got some hats. You know that the leftovers of the sale could have ended up in the trash dumpster. It has happened before and nobody would have benefited.:( -
1948 Jukebox!
Old or vintage things only hold a reverance for us today. In the past there was no sentimentality or nostalgia for "things" of bygone eras. My Grandmother had no use for antique furniture or any "stuff." To them it was just old stuff and nothing sccreamed "poor" like having old anything...- Twitch

You've got it, ...you lose it, and it's gone!
Everybody's got to eat and actors taking less than superb roles is the norm not the exception. How often do really great scripts come along that are backed by excellent productions companies and directed by genius directors? Almost never that's when. You'd think that Hollywood was overflowing...- Twitch

No wonder Ebay rules
Yes, I looked on the web for legitimate prices and found them to be about $120 from established sellers for the XP Media Edition so $106 on Ebay is right in there. The company has like 4,000+ sales on software and the only negative seen was regarding USPS shipping tardyness. Once it's shipped...- Twitch

School Supplies Overload
It's funny these school districts regularly have "found money" where they have realize that if they don't spend all of some money allocated for a program or whatever, they will lose it for next year so they piss it away in a hurry but, of curse, none goes to anything like school room supplies.:(...- Twitch
