Vanilla Sky
Vanilla Sky (2001)

IMDB rating: 6.80

Plot: David Aames takes all he has for granted; his wealth, his inherited publishing company, his good looks - his relationships. Especially his relationships. It catches up to him when a friend/sometimes sex-partner can’t see their relationship the way he sees it. From that point, the movie takes a Lynchian twist that ultimately and literally pulls us into Aames’ tortured psyche.

Se7en
Se7en (1995)

IMDB rating: 8.50

Plot: A film about two homicide detectives’ desperate hunt for a serial killer who justifies his crimes as absolution for the world’s ignorance of the Seven Deadly Sins. The movie takes us from the tortured remains of one victim to the next as the sociopathic “John Doe” sermonizes to Detectives Sommerset and Mills — one sin at a time. The sin of Gluttony comes first and the murderer’s terrible capacity is graphically demonstrated in the dark and subdued tones characteristic of film noir. The seasoned and cultured Sommerset researches the Seven Deadly Sins in an effort to understand the killer’s modus operandi while green Detective Mills scoffs at his efforts to get inside the mind of a killer…

Thailand weather in early june?
Hi everyone im hoping some one out there will be able to give me an answer to this question so i can make my decision as you have probably guessed im planing to go to thailand in early june (Krabi & phi phi island to be exact) and from research i have found that this a wet season. I really dont mind few hours rain here and there but what i really want to know if im not walking in to a full on typhoon. From reading online i am getting mix signals some websites say its great time to go as its cheap and quiet and u get refreshing rain in the evening or night time but thats only for few hours and then sun is out again temp rising to 32c during day. But then there are other sites thats say that there is a high risk of flooding, heavy constant all day rain (sometimes few days in a row) and you cant touch the beach because its simply to windy and there is a fear of drowning. As you can see my dilema. I really cant decide if i should go and take a risk or just forget the whole krabi trip and go elsewhere ? What do you think i should do? Any info will be great thanks for reading and for the help in advance….

What's Game Theory and how does it apply to the films A Beautiful Mind and Catch Me If You Can?
I have 2000 word essay about Game Theory and how it applies to the films A Beautiful Mind and Catch Me If You Can. I am beyond stumpted, I’ve googled and googled but, I cannot wrap my head around it. HELP!! I Due for my economics class October 15. Help, I’ll be most appreciative for the help.


Game theory is basically decision making. It is -game- theory. It’s like playing a strategy game, except with risk and benefit as "numbers" (I don’t know if it’s that specific that you have to deal with numbers?).

A Beautiful Mind is about, basically, the creator of game theory and the Nash equilibrium, John Nash. The Nash equilibrium is the point at which both players (or all) get what they want, and get the best outcome possibly, by working together and doing what is best for themselves and the group. -Not- as Adam Smith said, one man working for himself serves the common good. Look at the prisoner’s dilemma examples, those are the most common examples used to explain game theory. This will help explain it in less technical terms: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqn6MXyJ3 7c.

It’s not a very complicated science, even though it sounds intimidating. After all, it’s a -social- science, heh.

Catch Me If You Can is also kind of game theory; it goes back and forth between the false check-writer teenager and the cop/agent chasing after him (I watched this a long time ago, I don’t remember the names, sorry!). It is like strategy; a cat and mouse game if you will. They are players in a game, and assess the risk of each move before making their next move. The check-writer plays a good game, and is a good strategist. He’s very clever, but in the end is caught. Here’s an example from the film that I remember that -kind of- illustrates game theory…

In the last scene the check-writer and the detective are inside a building in France, where the check-writer has fled. The detective tells the check-writer that he can either run and possibly be killed by angry French police that will pursue him, or he can go quietly with the detective, and possibly get better treatment, etc. Obviously, which would you choose? Which has less risk?

Good luck. I actually like both of these movies, too, you should watch them.

There was a news story a few years ago where a woman made her husband think she was banging his co-worker. I think she "accidently" left a note out for him to see. Anyway the jealous husband beat the guy to death with a pipe. Just thought I’d throw that out there.

Honey, you can cause some real drama by doing that.
Especially if you wait days to tell her.

not a good joke unless you completely know the
couple and there isn’t any skeletons in there closet

Nope not funny, in fact its very distasteful. People get killed over things such as this and you’d be the dead fool. Ever seen "Snapped" on Oxygen network??
ThaKnowItAll | Jan 13, 2010


It was a great joke to pull on overly jealous wife. GAWD!!! She went for it hook, line, and sinker. My co-workers Photoshopped me into a picture with a little mexican chick and I told my wife dead serious…..as I handed her the picture….."I guess you were gonna find out about this sooner or later anyhow……" Oh HEll! She went ballistic on the spot!! LMFAO!!

As a nanny, this probably wouldn’t be a good idea. The wife, if she has doubts about her hubby, may see you as "planting a seed" in his mind. I’d say you might try something else for a laugh. This could really get out of hand. JMHO

By the way, that was threee months ago, and my old lady is still pissed when the subject comes up.

The outside rug neighbors?
The neighbor in next door apartment has a piece of carpet in front of the door, it is rough cut with jagged edges, dirty and badly stained. I purchased a carpet sample cheap and placed it in front of my door, should I toss the neighbors door rug and place a carpet sample that looks like mine in front of thier door as it would be new yet not as large. Or place it on top of their rug and or roll thier rug up and leave by door or just leave neighbors rug alone.


Get 2 more and set one in front of yours ( keep the one you have for a spare ) , knock on their door and give them the other. Tell them you got the second one dirt cheap and say that you noticed theirs getting worn. Even joke it is a late Christmas present. Don t set it over their old one, It s a tripping hazard then. Matching or similar ones, it doesn t matter.
Get to know your neighbors and be friendly…GL

I’d get them a carpet sample as well but one that isn’t exactly the same as yours. that would be weird. like "hi neighbor aren’t we cute with our matching rugs lol" just go for a similar one..its your hallway too so you can totally do this. or maybe just ask them to wash their rug or replace it. I would toss there old nasty one in a bag and leave it by their door.

When will the indians forgive and forget?
When is the Canadian government going to step up and say enough is enough to the Indians who are taking advantage of their upper hand (not all). I live in a town where the population is around half indian / white, but durring highschool graduation there was 200 white graduating students, and 2 graduating indians. Sad. But why? This is a 200 year old grudge. Time to move on prehaps?


This is not about governmental intercession. This is about personal accountability for one’s own life. A person does not drop out of school because of gov’t pressure. People drop out of school because they are not willing to do the hard work to improve THEMSELVES !
People continue on with school because they want to improve themselves. But it’s not free. It takes hard work. Look at all those that drop out. They are lazy and want something else in life. (but in almost every case………they are not going to get it.)

Never? You stole land and make genocides! Would you forgive? Not everyone can forgive.
Barracuda ??????? | Jan 25, 2010


Upper hand? Hilarious. They don’t owe you service to your society. I like that the Inuits spend most of their time fishing, and not doing constructive stuff. You guys stole that land.
That’s the whole reason America developed the reservation system–admittedly, we did it wrong. But still, we should respect the natives as much as we possibly can, they deserve their land–but I’m afraid we’re just not giving that up.
Where'd I park my TARDIS? | Jan 25, 2010


i don’t know, probably never.

my ancestors did not move to America until the early 1900s; they were germans from russia. they had no part in taking the land from the indians. they did not even speak english until WWII. millions of americans can say the same, and yet the ancestors of native americans blame all ‘whites’ for taking their land. just as some black people blame all white people for slavery. i don’t know about you, but my family never owned any slaves. my husband’s stepmom likes to tell how her great granddaddy owned one of the biggest plantations in alabama. now HER family owned slaves. mine never did. see the difference?

this is how people are; they have to blame someone, even if it’s the wrong someone. they follow the crowd or maybe they just blindly believe whatever they hear. who knows.

also, and this is a biggy, without Christ, forgiveness just doesn’t happen very often. so there you have it. the blame game and the hate game ain’t gonna change til Jesus comes back.

well, Gage dying was pretty sentimental, as was his coming back. And when the daughter (I forgot her name] got freaked out when she was at her grandparents because she knew something bad was going to happen wasn’t she crying? There are a lot of sentimental moments, actually.
