Ron's Brain

If you're faking something that is fake does it make it real?

I think your news item should be entitled <title> so it doesn't mess up your last forum message thingy.

Can he change the title after he has made it?

Of course I can.

Also, the error is in the function that processes the title and delivers it. It's supposed to encode everything, but it's not doing it for some reason.

I was really disappointed with The Illusionist because of things like the orange tree, or the 'movie projector' ghosts, and the magnetic sword tip. It would have been more enjoyable, perhaps, if Norton's character later admitted to magical powers. Perhaps he discovered he was a true magician, but knew he had to pose as a mere illusionist because of the government/church? That as least would be a more plausable explaination than:

1. It's tiny gears that grow an orange
2. They used Scooby-Do technology to fake the ghosts
3. He somehow created a magnet he could turn on and off, and affect only a specific sword (notice the sword on the old gentleman didn't move at all when he approached the stuck sword)

Have you seen The Prestige?

I'm fine with a movie that has science fiction in it, but I dislike a movie that claims to have none, and still relies on CG.

My parents rented The Illusionist, but because Misty pointed out it had 'PG13 content', they're not going to watch the much better Prestige. Of course, she would have said the same thing about the Illusionist if they had asked about that.

I watched three movies this weekend:

1. Spiderman 3. While entertaining, this movie had the integrity of an 1800s villain with a curly mustache. The "evil" spiderman was in fact "emo" spiderman. Going into the theater, I was expecting a good film. Once I realized Sam Raimi decided to make it an "awfully good" film, it made more sense. But that wasn't until the movie was over.

2. Slither. Featuring Nathan Fillion (Serenity, Firefly), this is a supreme "awfully good" movie. It's a very quirky, made to be bad, film. Fillion delivers his style of bad-assery that only he can. I laughed, and was completely grossed out.

3. Disturbia. Now, I'm not a fan of thrillers. I find them tired. However, I really liked Disturbia. I thought Shia LeBeouf and David Morse were very good. Although it could be considered a "Rear Window" remake, I thought this film was really well developed as well as only suspenseful and gory enough as it needed to be. There was also a lot of comic relief coming from Ronnie (Aaron Yoo) in a very well written and acted role. I would suggest seeing this.

I think Fox simply hates Nathan Fillion.

I think you should file a grievance with the gnome union. They're only allowed to take things if they leave something in return or for repayment of a previous debt. They tend to be lazy workers, which is why they usually do the payment before taking anything.
The only experience I've had with them is that they once ate half a box of donuts I had, but that was in payment for half constructing a desk I bought. I was kinda irritated with their lazyness though as I would have gladly given up the whole box of donuts for the entire desk being built. But hey, at least they did it while I was at work.
