    Car Rental Advice?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a car rental service? I'll be needing a vehicle to drive from Seattle to Los Angeles and back again for the a week at the end of May. I'm looking for either a mid-sized sedan or a minivan. What companies are affordable and good to work with? Thanks.

    The 100 Greatest Film Characters of All Time (according to Premiere magazine)

    Not sure if I missed it but I'd have to add Jack Burton. One of my favorites for sure.

    Robert Smith - REDUX!

    I enjoyed BLoodflowers and would prefer another album in that vein to another one in the Wild Mood Swings style. I agree it wasn't their best ever but I thought it was the best since Disintigration.

    Laser Tattoo Removal

    JonZ, have you thought about a cover-up? Find a good artist that has experience with coverup's and they turn a bad or unwanted tattoo into some pretty damn amazing pieces. Just an alternative that would probably be a lot cheaper.

    Guitars anyone?

    Nice Goldtop Dave. You're a braver man than me though - I hesitate to let even my closet of friends put their grubby paws on my fretboard. :)

    The Thin Red Line.......Any Chance of a Special Edition Now??

    Count me as another who'd love to see a SE. Thin Red Line may not be my favorite movie ever but it is my favorite war movie ever.

    Cat Power/Chan Marshall

    Moon Pix is one of my favorites. Her most recent, You are Free is also fantastic.

    King Conan Dead!

    Yeah, I have a hard time envisioning anyone other than Arnold as King Conan. Maybe it's just that I can't htink of anyone of the top of my head who would work.

    Dragonlance movies?

    If we are talking any fantasy book made into a movie I vote for one of Guy Gavriel Kays stand alone novels, particularly Tigana. As for Dragonlance, so long as you kept it away from any of the people that had a hand in Dungeons and Dragons The Movie, I think it could make for a fun fantasy...

    Underworld DVD (merged thread)

    I bought this blind too and it was one of the best blind purchases I've made in quite awhile. I really had a lot of fun with this one. A couple points I was happily suprised about, -There really is no love story angle. I was dreading sitting through a cheesey Romeo and Juliet...

    Want to get in shape for 2004?

    Have any of you given liquid multi vitamins a shot? I need to start taking some kind of multi vitamin, but in the past I've found it seems to upset my stomach and I spend half the day burping up vitamin. Yeck!

    Any serious board gamers here?

    How about Civilization: The Board Game? I got it for Christmas but haven't gotten around to playing it yet. Looks like it could be fun.

    Anyone Know of a Good Fitness Website?

    I'm looking for a good fitness website. Something that offers workout tips, equipment reviews, diet plans and the like. I'd also be interested in a good fitness forum if anyone knows of one. Time for the old "get in shape for the new year" resolution again. =) Thanks.

    Lord of the Rings: Further reading?

    As pointed out it's a difficult read at first but do stick with it. The payoff is incredible. I hae so much more of an appreciation for the LotR movies, because of reading The Silmarillion.

    *** Official THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING Discussion Thread

    Minas Tirith was better than I could have hoped for. The shot from the top of Gandalf riding up the streets with the city and plains stretched out below had my jaw on the floor. That ranks up there with the shot of Gandalf and the Balrog falling in TTT. Amazing!

    *** Official THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING Discussion Thread

    What didn't you like about that scene? It was one of my favorites and one I had been looking forward to seeing. I thought it stayed very true to the book, from what I remember.

    How many times have you "dipped" on the same titles?

    Not to often myself. I just can't afford to buy the same movies over and over so I try to make sure I'm gonna be happy the first time around. Also I'm not big on extras. I mean they are nice to get, but the most important thing for me is to get a good transfer and OAR. If I get that the first...

    *** Official THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING Discussion Thread

    I'm lucky. About a hundred yards from the theatre there's a cozy little bar were we are meeting up for a couple of pints and some food before the show starts. Should help keep us warm and out the chilly rain while waiting for the doors to open. The anticipation is slowly building to...

    Three years? How about seven! I've been following these suckers since they were first announced. I'm honestly going to feel lost without these movies to speculate over and look forward to. :frowning:

    Cost of a Rear End?

    Any mechanical types around who can offer some insight? I've got an 84 GMC S-15. I'm told the rear end has gone kaput, and I'm trying to figure out what it will cost me. I'm not terribly mechanical, but if the job is not to difficult, and the savings are signifigant, I would consider giving it a...

    It looks hilarious to me. The trailer alone has given me a few good chuckles. But I tend to enjoy low-brow humor.:D
