Have you seen the movie "Joe versus the Volcano"?
This is a great movie but it always surprises me how few have seen it and how few of those liked it. Where are you on that one?


I saw it when it first came out, it was too silly, and the premise that he was going to kill himself because he was dying of a painful disease just seemed a little too icky for a comedy.

Seen it. Didn’t dig it at all.
zippythejessi | May 25, 2006


It was great! The first Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan romance movie.
Monica G | May 25, 2006


Yes I have seen it. It was not one of Tom Hanks best efforts, he is a much better and deeper actor than the movie portrayed him to be.
It was a fluffy kind of thing that didn’t do well, but thankfully he came on back and blew us away with some of the best films I have ever seen.
lockerridge | May 25, 2006


Sorry, i thought i had a brain cloud when that was available for viewing. If you like that, Tom Hank and Blondie McDoodle did about ten other lousy movies together.
judgemartiniz | May 25, 2006


I haven’t seen it in a good while, but it was pretty good. It’s so strange, most people wouldn’t like it, but it’s not bad.
Disco Stu | May 25, 2006


I have seen it more than once, and yes I like that movie.

Not really a candidate for any awards, but not a bad way to kill 2 hours either.

"Where ever we go, what ever we do…we are taking this luggage with us" hee hee :-) mand | May 25, 2006


I’ve seen it. The only thing I remember about it is Tom Hanks and I think John Candy starred. It’s been a looooong time since I’ve seen it…
da_humbla | May 25, 2006


It came out right after "When Harry Met Sally" (with Meg Ryan) and "Big" with Tom Hanks. So everyone expected this to be a magical pairing of these two. But it wasn’t very "magical" for me. I think everyone’s expectations were so high. Perhaps that’s why when they made "Sleepless in Seattle" together a few years later, it was such a surprise hit.
justcuriouslikegeorge | May 25, 2006


I thought it was an okay movie.
littlefoot | May 25, 2006


tom hanks in it?
ray_long69 | May 25, 2006


I saw it - it was good, but you had to be in the right mood to see it.

If only Tom Hanks had those steamer trunks in "Cast Away"…

:) sczechj | May 25, 2006


Joe versus the Volcano was released in 1990 and I saw it then because I was a fan of Tom Hanks. The movie was a huge flop. I liked that he learned that he truly wanted to live and that life was important to him.
soplaw2001 | May 25, 2006


I saw that about a million years ago but loved it! I love Abe Vigoda as the chief of the Waponi-woo’s. Or the scene where Tom Hanks says the fluorescent lights are sucking the life out of him… who doesn’t feel like that once in a while???
purrpletoad | May 25, 2006


I love that movie but I have to admit I am the only one in our crowd that does. They just have no taste that’s all!:)
kitkat | May 25, 2006


I have it in my DVD collection. It was a good movie. I think a lot of people might not get the movie because it has metaphysical undertones to it.

Casablanca
Casablanca (1942)

IMDB rating: 8.80

Plot: During World War II, Europeans who were fleeing from the Germans, sought refuge in America. But to get there they would first have to go Casablanca and once they get there, they have to obtain exit visas which are not very easy to come by. Now the hottest spot in all of Casablanca is Rick’s Cafe which is operated by Rick Blaine, an American expatriate, who for some reason can’t return there, and he is also extremely cynical. Now it seems that two German couriers were killed and the documents they were carrying were taken. Now one of Rick’s regulars, Ugarte entrusts to him some letters of transit, which he intends to sell but before he does he is arrested for killing the couriers. Captain Renault, the Chief of Police, who is neutral in his political views, informs Rick that Victor Laszlo, the European Resistance leader, is in Casablanca and will do anything to get an exit visa but Renault has been “told” by Major Strasser of the SS, to keep Laszlo in Casablanca. Laszlo goes to Rick’s to meet Ugarte, because he was the one Ugarte was going to sell the letters to. But since Ugarte was arrested he has to find another way. Accompanying him is Ilsa Lund, who knew Rick when he was in Paris, and when they meet some of Rick’s old wounds reopen. It is obvious that Rick’s stone heart was because of her leaving him. And when they learn that Rick has the letters, he refuses to give them to him, because “he doesn’t stick his neck out for anyone”.

wedding flowers which way?
so we put our deposit down but she hasn’t ordered the flowers since we are still 8 mths out. i ordered white roses and white casablanca Lily’s now that im considering putting my maid of honor in brown or black dress(only one person on each side of bridal party) im thinking red roses for her and the boutonnieres and corsages and red roses with white casablanca Lily’s for my bouquet .
and all bouquets and boutonnieres an corsages well have peacock feathers mixed in
should i stick to white roses and Lily’s with peacock feathers or switch to red roses , white Lily’s with peacock feathers.
my dress is ivory but not a bold ivory very muted?
thanks


The color of the red rose with the peacock feather colors are not complimentary.

Follow your first instincts, stick with the white roses and Lilies.
seamstress | Jan 25, 2010


I don’t think red will work with the peacock feathers. I would stick one of the following:

1) Go with the white colors you are using with the peacock feathers.
2) Add in blue or purple flowers to go with the white flowers and peacock feathers.
3) Go with a red and white bouquet mix without the peacock feathers.

All the Best,

I would stick with the white flowers. Red with the peacock feathers will look a little weird. Try something like these:

In World of Warcraft can all spellcasters benefit from different spell bonus'?
More specifically, I have a priest engineer that made two "random enchant" head gears. One was a plus to nature damage and the other frozen damage. Can she benefit from those in any way?


You need holy or shadow. If you do not know, look at your spell details, and it tells you the type of damage they do. i.e 48 holy damage or 100 shadow dmg over 10 secs.

Golden Monkey | Feb 05, 2010


no
C0nsp1racy | Feb 05, 2010


no, you’ll need (depending on whatever spec) shadow for it to increase your damage

What do you think of this - A beautiful bowl, honey and a single hair.. ?
the prophet mohammed, may all peace and blessings bestow upon him, and his companions, abu bakr, omar, othman, and ali, may allah s.w.t grant them peace, gathered in ali’s (a.s) house. in his house, hadhrat ali’s wife, fatima (a.s), the princess of the messenger a.s.w.s, served honey in a beautiful bowl, and when a bowl of honey was served, a single hair was found in that bowl. the prophet mohammed a.s.w.s then asked all of his friends to make a comparison to those three things: the beautiful bowl, honey and the single hair.

abu bakr r.a. said, "faith is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, those who are faithful are sweeter than sweet honey, and to keep faith is more harder than to walk on this single hair".

omar r.a. said, "a kingdom is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, a king is sweeter than sweet honey, and to rule fairly and with justice is harder than to walk on this single hair".

othman r.a. said, "knowledge is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, knowledge seekers are sweeter than sweet honey, and to practice the knowledge gained is harder than to walk on this single hair".

ali r.a. said, "a guest is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, welcoming the guest is sweeter than sweet honey, and to please the guest until he returns home is harder than to walk on this single hair".

fatima r.a said, "a muslimah is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, a woman with a veil is sweeter than sweet honey, and to make the muslimah a man’s wife is harder than to walk on a single hair".

the prophet mohammed a.s.w.s said, "those who gain guidance from Allah s.w.t are more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, those who practice good deeds are sweeter than sweet honey, and practicing sincerely is harder than to walk on a single hair".

angel gabriel a.s said, "to uphold the pillars of religion is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, to surrender himself, his property, and his time for his religion is sweeter than sweet honey, and to sustain this until his death is harder than to walk on a single hair".

Allah s.w.t, the almighty, said, "My Paradise is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, the bliss in My Paradise is sweeter than sweet honey, and walking towards My Paradise is harder than to walk on a single hair."

Heartbreak Kid, The
Heartbreak Kid, The (2007)

IMDB rating: 5.80

Plot: The story centers on a man who is convinced that he has finally met the right girl and marries too quickly. While on his honeymoon and in the process of discovering that his new bride is a nightmare, he meets the girl of his dreams.

Directors: Farrelly Bobby

Actors: Stiller Ben,Stiller Jerry,Mencia Carlos,Corddry Rob,Bryant Joel,Bell E.E.,Bredt Jeff,Hodges David,Jenkins Roy,Comedy,Romance,

How do I know if my Marriage is over? Is there a for sure way to tell? How to make the pain stop?
I am thinking I am headed for a heartbreak. I have been married since 2002, my husband is 34 yrs old from Boston. I am 30 and we have one daughter. We have been seperated before, but I don’t know who he is anymore. He keeps wanting to have sexual relations with other couples, goes to get Tattoos, spends money we don’t have. I get so upset that I yell and scream and tell him to grow up and he makes fun of me calling me bi-polar, and crazy and period girl. He says he is a kid at heart and will never grow up. He works full time, and has a masters degree, and constantly reminds me of it. I work too, go to school, and take care of our house and daughter. I am tired of fighthing. I have lost all interest in sharing myself with him because he has been talking to other women on the internet and placing ads on Craigs list that he is divorced. I am loosing my mind and my marriage…I am not perfect either, but I am hurting and just want respect. Please Help. Oh and not that being from Boston has anything to do with it, but he says that people from New England are entitled to act this way…


I’m from NE…and I don’t know anyone like him! He sounds selfish. You have to decide if staying with this "kid" is what you want. At 34, he’s not going to change. Accept him for the child he is…or not.
shy2008 | Jan 27, 2010


It may be time to consider moving on.

Considering he’s placing ads on craigslist soliciting for relationships outside the marriage, he’s made it clear that his interests are lying elsewhere.

Believe me. You are right in how you feel, and you ARE NOT crazy! His complete disregard of your feelings and monetary well-being goes beyond being a "Kid at Heart" and straight to completely self-centered. Where he’s from does not entitle him to attempt adultery and betray the sanctity of marriage, nor does it make it okay for him to spend money he shouldn’t and put to risk whether or not you’ll be able to feed the family.

The likelihood of him changing his ways are slim to none so you should start thinking about whether or not a continued relationship with him is going to be healthy for you, and most importantly, for your daughter. I can say from personal experience that parents you love dearly screaming and yelling at one another is extremely frightening and damaging emotionally, no matter how old you are. If you don’t show her what a good relationship looks like, and what to do if it isn’t any good, who will? You need to take charge and do the right thing for the sake of both you and your child.

Divorce isn’t easy, I just finished with one myself, it’ll feel awful for a while, sometimes you may even wonder how to get through the day. But given time, you’ll thank yourself for it, maybe even think "Ex-husband who?"

I truly hope this helps, even if it’s just a little.

Good Luck!
Christine | Jan 27, 2010


Ask yourself this: How am I benefiting from this marriage? Right now it doesn’t seem like either of you are getting anything out of being married. It doesn’t sound like you’re happy at all. If you want something different in the future than he does then you probably shouldn’t be together.

To me, you should’ve left him the first time he was unfaithful to you. He obviously doesn’t respect you if he calls you names and treats you the way he does. You need to have enough self respect for yourself and decide that you’re not going to let yourself be treated this way anymore. If you stand up for yourself then he, and everyone else, will respect you more too.

Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj (2006)

IMDB rating: 3.50

Plot: Of East Indian origin, Taj Mahal Badalandabad lives in Coolidge, U.S.A. along with his dad, Dilip, mom, and sister. After hearing about his dad’s exploits at Camford University in Britain, he re-locates there. When he arrives he is royally received by the elite, only to be humiliated and told this reception was because of a ‘typographical error’. He thus re-locates to his new quarters in a distant wreck of a building called the ‘barn’ - reserved for ‘losers’. When he gets over this welcome, Taj must now come to terms with the Queen’s language, her dialect, and the racial profiling (’Curry-breath’, ‘Paki’), and a busty Charlotte Higginson, who is not only better at fencing, but is also intent to ensure his dismissal. Hilarious results follow when Taj decides to fight the Queen and her people at their own game(s) with the help of fellow losers and a horny bulldog.

Wondering the name of a band.?
First off Im about to be rather vague. I know of two songs from them, problem is i dont know the name of the songs or that much of their chorus’s, but here i go. One song is featured in Van Wilder 2 rise of Taj, the scene where they are partying before Taj’s family arives. When it starts it is playing a song, the chorus says something like "F–k so good…" and so on. The next song is featured in Saints Row 2, and i guess its about some guy drinking beer to get his confidence up to go hit on some chick. Part of the song say "My confidence is rising…". Sorry to be so vague but if you know the band then please post and thanks.

I’m pretty positive the first song is Crazy B!tch by Buckcherry. It’s like "But you f –k so good I’m on top of it. When I dream I"m doing you all night, scratches all down my back," or something like that.

Good Intense Movie Idea?
A movie where the characters(6 or 7) come across a place with a bad reputation(ghost stories or missing person reports), and it’s big enough to get lost in, like a rustic northern forest. And then at some point, an accident happens which leaves them scared and paranoid, remembering the stories they heard… then, whether by supernatural forces or simply the night combined with the shadows cast by tall pine trees in the forest, it becomes so dark that without the dim blue light from the stars it would be impossible to see(no moon). Leaving the characters lost with only 1, maybe 2 flashlights which eventually go dead.
After deciding they should go back home, they become separated/lost and end up in pairs or on their own.
Then, due to the lack of light and being unable to distinguish whether they are going in circles or not, they slowly begin to lose their minds and their grasp on reality, and then a couple of characters get lost from their small groups and end up dying from "natural" causes(falling off a cliff, being hit by a falling tree limb, or maybe even killed by another lost and panicking person who mistook them for an animal or "ghost"). Leaving the other characters wondering where they had gone, and maybe worried because of a scream they heard through the trees.

Eventually, 1 or 2 of them make it out of the forest alive, but still scared because of the mind games played on them by the dark forest(maybe they think they saw something or heard something related to the stories they’d heard, when in reality it was only a bush they saw or and animal they heard).

This movie would show how people can become so scared when they cannot gain control over anything… and because this movie would be filmed VERY dark, the audience would only be able to see slightly better than the characters. Thus giving the audience the feeling of confusion just like the characters in the movie.

I can picture the commercial being like "What do you see?……………. When you can’t see anything?".. :P the title would probably be called Dark or Black or something.
