In the grand scheme of things that is not a big stretch.

Well, by the time the next one comes out, it will be a 25 year old playing a 17 year old. They somewhat pulled it off in Grease, but that was the youngest, John Travolta. All the rest were older and you could tell they were.

Agree on LOTR, have not read the Eragon books, only saw the first Chronicles or Narnia movie and thought it was decent. Harry Potter the movies have yet to live up to the books.

actually wolfy at that time it was not really killing at that time duals were an important part of life and that is how you defende ones honor and you would not go to jail for it cause you both agreed on the conditions.

So if you really want to kill someone you just have to challenge him/her to a duel? *pulls out glove and slaps B!#$!@%! across the face* I challenge br!@#$!#@%! to a duel.

douses lone wolf with cool water for mentioning the forbiden word!!!!!! that starts with a "B"

But if I didn't mention it everyone would think I was talking about something else and I'd have to clear it up. Ok from now on these are what we use.

Be sure to put those on each new page so we don't have to go on digging for them each time we need to.

I've been thinking and it might be easier for S4945ru34873 to just start with $ every time and B495854858485 to just start with & every time that would be easier to remember.

I'd also like to state while duels were common back than, Andrew Jackson did find himself participating in an oddly high number. At the same time though Andrew Jackson was just a badass in everything he did.

That cheek card never leaves your face.

this has the honor of becoming strike wolf's post of the day.

Thank you, a rare moment for me.

You've probably won it before and I just was to lazy to post so. I may make the post of the day a regular occurance. May promote quality posts in the thread.

I think he believes that the Shawshank Redemption could have used a banana creme pie.

Morgan Freeman narrating *Andy Dufresne, the man who crawled through five hundred yards of shit just to eat a banana creme pie*

That sounds like an accurate description.;

Does Millennium Force have a 200+ ft drop?

Try these stats:

Length: 6595'
Height: 310'
Drop: 300'
Inversions: 0
Speed: 93 mph
Duration: 2:20
Max Vertical Angle: 80 Degrees
Hell, even the lift hill is at a steeper angle than a lot of coasters.

Pics on this page: http://www.rcdb.com/ig594.htm

Also, Cedar point has 3 coasters with over a 200 foot drop. Millenium Force, Magnum XL 200 which was the first coaster to break the 200 foot mark and Top Thrill Dragster which is over 400 feet.

bout similar in length top speed 95. duration a little shorter but not very noticeable. 80 degree vert. max drop I believe is 260. So yeah your coasters beat it.

A 24 year old once played a 13 year old on one of the tv shows I watched as a kid.

New page.

You know, I finished watching the Avatar series recently and was wholly impressed with it, especially considering that the original plot line is one of the few that truly captured my attention. The style of the artwork, though based heavily off of Japanese anime, was actually originally done in the States, and the voice acting was pretty good as well. I am now at that point trying to find any other series that are similar to it, but am having crappy luck. So I'm thinking about just re-watching the series.

I like Avatar. It's definitely a good series though if I think you'll probaably end up disappointed even if you find a similar show.

True. Though it did leave off with one cliffhanger, where Zuko asks his father where his mother was. Though, they need to make The Book of Air just so that they have all four elements. Doubtful, but I can always dream, can't I? As for the movie that is coming out, it looks like that is going to be another series, one movie per book. A bit of a squeeze, but looks doable.

It might work. I am definitely looking forward to them showing Zuko's quest to find his mother and it would great if they make a book of Air. I think it would probably be a prequel to the other books of course.

Maybe, or it could show what happens after the first 3 books.

I just got back from a vacation, so I'm going to start catching up.

Do you guys even know what vegemite is?

No, I don't.

strike wolf wrote:Ok so I have officially seen the new Harry Potter movie and i am...

Not overly impressed.

It was a decent movie but could have definitely benefitted from proper editting. Too much non-essential scenes not enough of the action and plot that occured in the book. overall superior to most of the movies but well inferior to the 5th movie. My biggest problem was how they cut the end fight so short. It was much grander and better in the book.

I was hoping to see that movie soon.
