I have yet to see the movie version of Rent, but everything I've heard about it is pretty much in agreement that's it's good but nowhere near as extraordinary as is it on stage (in fact, you've just revealed that the most popular song opens the movie instead of opening the second act, which I...

I'm honestly shocked. I guess they aren't fond of Civil War movies in the south? ;) :p

So, Ken... did you end up watching Glory or Clue yet?

Sounds like it's time for me to book another trip to see my parents in FL. They're only an hour away from Tampa... ;)

Quite true. The Mask was rather underrated, I think, as was The Truman Show (I still can't figure out why so many people think it sucked :confused: ).

Oh, don't worry. We can tell you're a wise-ass. :D

Sort of. The difference is when you state an opinion as if it were a fact then you can pretty much expect to elicit a negative reaction. For example, I can't stand the Beastie Boys. They annoy the hell out of me. However, a lot of people love them and they're one of the most successful and...

Perhaps it's because you didn't say "I personally didn't like those films" and instead simply called them crap?

Hi Susan, my name is Greg, but thanks! I'm glad you've gotten some value out of my work. :) As far as copyrighting is concerned, it's a tricky animal and I'm not an expert but here's my understanding: Like you say for music, you can't copyright individual words or notes or chords. What you can...

You go, hon! Aren't you a smarty-pants!? :p :D We miss you lots. While all the ladies here at the 'Cooler are adept at intejecting a little grace into the "discussions", you're the only one who truly has a taste for regularly combatting the testosteroney mayhem. :)

Wow. That's a good one! My own experiences with the Help Desk usually involve me diagnosing the problem three hours/days before they do. For example: The database I designed and use at work has a button that generates an email in Outlook addressed to the person whose name is on the form I'm...

To be fair, you didn't ask for remakes that were better, just ones that were done well. King Kong was, actually, fairly well received. As was Willy Wonka, although the style of the remake is so vastly different than the original they're practically different movies. (Although, sometimes that's...

Thanks everyone for your input! I think the self-join will work out perfectly. You never quite know, of course, until you try to make some forms and queries and see if all the links function properly. But at least the software will allow me to create the relationship, and that's a good start...

I've got an unusual table structure issue and I thought I'd get some outside opinions. I'm putting together a contacts database. Each contact has a record in the Contacts table; each contact also can have multiple addresses, phone numbers, email, etc., so each of those gets their own table. Now...

I agree this is a good movie, but I don't think it's even in the same ballpark as Pixar movies. Pixar tends to take reality and apply it to an unexpected situation. Ocean creatures, Monsters, Toys, etc., all have human-like behaviors, problems, adventures, etc. Spirited Away is pure fantasy...

I guarantee you'll find at least one copy on the shelf at Blockbuster or any video store down to the 'mom and pop' places. Some other suggestions inspired by reading through the list: Allen Quartermane and the Lost City of Gold -AND/OR- King Soleman's Mines. Similar to the Indiana Jones...

Gottcha, Ken. I'll try to focus my ideas on lighter fare. :D Even more Connelly: Dark City. One of my all-time favorite Sci-Fi movies. Civil War movie: Glory. Matthew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Carey Elwes. I'm sure it's R for realistic battle scenes, but movies about war...

Agreed. But no, I haven't seen Cars. I'm trying to think of other recent stuff...for summer blockbusters it seems to be a lackluster year so far. I did enjoy X-Men 3, though. Superman looks very good. (Why, yes... that was a double entendre...) I can't think of anything that came out recently...

That's a tough one for me. I grew up watching Roger Moore; The Spy Who Loved Me was the first Bond film I saw and is still one of my favorites. I also really liked Pierce Brosnan, and Goldeneye is my favorite Bond flick. Nevertheless, I think Connery stand out as the best Bond.
