    Six Feet Under Season 5

    He died doing something he enjoyed...even though he was murdered, it still fits very well in the context of the show. David seeing Keith's ghost right before he died was an amazing touch.

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

    Been following this thread religously, and have some input on the recent discussion. Regarding Yoda and Sidious Here are my impressions, bit by bit : 1) Yoda enters the Emperors chambers, and is quickly zapped with some lightning...he was obviously caught off guard, as it sent him...

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

    Specialty and Speciality are two completely different words, meaning the same thing of course. I did however wonder why one was chosen over the other. The AL-ity didnt quite ring right, but like someone mentioned, Ewan is a Brit so its cool. Reading this discussion has enlightened me on quite...

    I am glad you were able to collect your thoughts that well and post them. I had the exact same points in mind, but you were able to put them on "paper",so to speak, quicker than I could

    DOOM III: Gold news & Half Life 2 min req.

    I have no problem with the "A.I"...its DOOM for crying out loud...these are demons, imps and the like...they are interested in nothing more than ripping you to pieces, their health be damned. Not sure why people expected Human-like AI from the enemies in DOOM, the series has never been about...

    Lightning Strike "Upgrades" Done...Quick Question

    I posted a thread about 3 months ago where my home had been hit by lightning, and most of my electronic equipment had been destroyed by the electrical surge. Luckily my PC was spared (not sure how). The homeowners insurance process was a lengthy one, but we came out much better in the end I...

    Picked up Polk RTi8's, which center to go with it??

    Long story short, my house was hit by lightning about 3 months ago, and I basically lost all of my electronics for my home theater system. OLD ....................... NEW Toshiba 50A50 ---------> Hitachi 51S500 JVC HTIB --------------> HK AVR230 Fluance Speakers ------> Polk RTI8's for...

    Thunderstorms -or- Home Owners Insurance Question

    The house was directly hit by lightning, we had your run of the mill surge protectors on the devices (not Monster Cable shiat or the like)...it melted them on the way through. Direct strikes are impossible to protect against, save for pulling the plugs. I looked at our policy last night, its...

    Thunderstorms -or- Home Owners Insurance Question

    therein lies the problem, the stuff on that list you can still get fine, barring the JVC receiver and the Toshiba TV. That TV is no longer sold (4x3)...so they should let me go grab a similar size 16x9 TV since 4x3's are not at my local electronics stores?

    Thunderstorms -or- Home Owners Insurance Question

    I have a question for anyone who has gone through electronics replacement via Home Owners Insurance. My house was hit by lightning yesterday afternoon, either directly (according to Fire Dept...though I can find no entry / exit marks anywhere), or indirectly via Power Lines or phone lines...

    The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

    Bryant, Response to your post : 1) When has the acting in ANY Matrix film been noteworthy? "Whoa", "I Know Kung Fu" etc etc; certainly not dialogue worthy of accolades is it? I just find it dismissive to assume that the dialogue for M2 and M3 would be any different than M1. The acting can...

    The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

    I don't think a reload would have removed Smith, just like rebooting your PC wouldn't remove a virus. The architect knew Neo would go back into the Matrix, but could not lead on that he also needed him to go back. Reverse psychology at its best? BUT what the Oracle says may negate the above...

    The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

    Having given some thought to what I posted about Smith lacking Purpose being the reason he is ultimately defeated; I think I have to change my tune. In Reloaded, he has no purpose, this he alluded to himself. When he first attempts to copy himself into Neo in Reloaded he says "We're here to take...

    Why then wouldn't DEM simply use any human jacked in to rid the Matrix of Smith. Hopefully one of us is right, if its merely for the presence of the final 20 minutes, thats a pretty big gaping plothole

    The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

    Heres my off-the-wall take on why Smith could not be destroyed until he had taken over Neo, it has to do with "purpose". Smith's purpose was dynamic throughout the films, in M1 his purpose is plainly obvious...an Agent of the system. Neo defeating him drastically changed that...the "Its...

    The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

    The single biggest complaint I have about the last 2 films is that there is no depth to Seraph's character. Being called "wingless" "Judas" and "the prodigal son" without ANY explanation is unforgiveable. I understand that seraph is in reference to "Seraphim" which is the highest choir of...

    I agree on the Kid delivering the message, it was as if the W's thought he needed one more part in the film, and had run out of places to use him. Had someone of more "importance" delivered it perhaps it would have gone over better.
