No, they always pull the privatized record bullshit when the entire process is matter of public record.

If "it's" private, it's your private record I'd think. . .

Thats the response I get every time, i'm still going to ask but they always claim they're arent allowed to release the information. Which is horseshit.

After 4 months of waiting my 4g LTE phone is finally active with 4g. Woot.

Saw the newest Batman on the plane back from Japan. I thought it was kind of weak overall, but the Bane character was sort of interesting, especially in that they attempted to give him some human complexity, at least at the end. Overall, I think the league of shadows theme could have been developed in a much more deep way, but I guess for pop movies, they probably got it about right. Who needs dialogue when you can go Boom!*()$# KaPow()*$# Bang!$()*1

Wha?! The movie was perfect, the league of shadows thing didn't need to be more in depth since they were all removed during the first movie. Bane and Ms. Tate were the only ones left

Read a book sometime. :nutkick:

Movies generally, but not always, kind of just ice skate on ideas, the rest is eye candy. Nothing wrong with that, just is. Overall, I'd give the movie a C for my tastes.

Now you can sort of ice skate on ideas and still make a surprisingly good movie. I'd say "Last Samurai" ranks very high on this scale.

A great movie that is an adaptation of Shakespeare, that is simply stunning in its construction is Akira Kurosawa's "Ran". If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor, but it is crazy dark and heavy.

I liked Last Samurai :huh:

Me too. Quite a lot actually. One of the few movies I saw with my Japanese wife and she was in tears at the end. It does manage to capture a bit of the Japanese spirit in its idealized form if nothing else.

Watch some of the great Japanese movies. And "Ran" is way up there.
