  1. The movie was alright, and as is with most cases it fell really far from the original book in quality and story. I give props to Will Smith for having to carry the entire film on his own for the most part, his acting was on par.. but the CG looked off to me, the ending was terrible, and because of the huge difference from the original story to this movies translation I just couldn't get into it. I would give it a 4 out of ten.

  2. That kitten should have been put down. People are ridiculous when it comes to things like this. You could either choose to put the kitten out of its suffering or, choose to spend thousands of dollars on medical bills to provide it with a quality of life that even a aborted horse fetus would not envy. Back on subject, Flickr isn't too shabby.

  3. Did you catch the Dark Knight prologue with it? I have to say it look's better then the original version, but something about movies that feature Will Smith and C.G. are always a cause of doubt for me.

  4. strawberry shortcake.

    bust a load on a broads grill.

    the you pop her in the nose till she bleeds.

  5. who cares? even if he is straight up fucks men in their ass gay, who cares?

     

    you guys never rock out to queen?

     

    never listen to NIGHTCRAWLER because its just so fucking metal?!

     

    if you don't like his music, rad, but bringing his questionable sexuality into this is fucking preposterous.

     

    Lets not leave out Judas Priest or Iron Maiden (W/ Paul Diano.)

    Part of the abandoned zoo in Los Angeles. It's nothing special, although I have been told it got caught in the fire that took place a while back and was look's a bit more interesting now. *The Lion cages are pretty cool.

  7. Today's issue of the Melbourne Sunday Herald-Sun (Sept 23) carries a brief interview with Michael Caine talking about Heath Ledger's performance in THE DARK KNIGHT, suggesting he could be up for an Oscar nomination for his work.

     

    Here's some of what Caine had to say:

     

    "The worry going in was The Joker.

     

    Jack Nicholson was the greatest Joker so, you know, how do you top that? Well, Heath Ledger's done it and he's extraordinary.

     

    He's gone in a completely different direction to Jack. Jack was like a clown figure, benign but wicked, maybe a killer old uncle. He could be funny and make you laugh.

     

    Heath is like a really scary psychopath. I did one scene with him and he was ready to go and had to come up in a lift and raid our place.

     

    I didn't see him for rehearsal and when he came out of the lift he was so incredible I forgot my lines. He frightened the life out of me.

     

    I'd never met him before. He's a lovely guy and his Joker is going to be a hell of a revelation in this picture."

     

     

     

    There is also a seven minute intro/short running with I Am Legend that introduces the Dark Knight Joker.

  8. Feel free to search for and post images, lets get started with a small article from BBC news:

     

    At the Lusaka sewage ponds, two teenage boys plunge their hands into the dark brown sludge, gathering up fistfuls and stuffing it into small plastic bottles. They tap the bottles on the ground, taking care to leave enough room for methane to form at the top. A sour smell rises in the hot sun, but the boys seem oblivious to the stench and the foul nature of their task.

    They are manufacturing "Jenkem", a disgusting, noxious mixture made from fermented sewage. It is cheap, potent and very popular among the thousands of street-children in Lusaka. When they cannot afford glue or are too scared to steal petrol, these youngsters turn to Jenkem as a way of getting high.

     

    "It lasts about an hour", says one user, 16-year-old Luke Mpande, who prefers Jenkem to other substances.

     

    "With glue, I just hear voices in my head. But with Jenkem, I see visions. I see my mother who is dead and I forget about the problems in my life."

     

     

     

    Heres a informative taste via Wikipedia:

     

    Jenkem or jekem is an inhaled gas which can result in dissociation and hallucinations[1]. It is made from fermented sewage. According to Fountain of Hope, a non-profit organization, Jenkem is used by street children in Lusaka, Zambia as a substitute for ordinary inhalants such as glue or petrol.[1] According to anecdotal sources and still unconfirmed media reports, Jenkem is as of November 2007 in the process of attaining a foothold among US teenagers (see section below).

     

    Psychoactive effects

     

    Its effects last for around an hour and consist of auditory and visual hallucinations[1]. A 16-year-old boy describes his preference for jenkem over other inhalants "With glue, I just hear voices in my head. But with Jenkem, I see visions. I see my mother who is dead and I forget about the problems in my life."[1] The raw materials are plentiful and freely available in the form of fecal matter from the open sewers of Lusaka. This is then fermented in plastic bottles and the fumes are inhaled.

     

    Media Attention

     

    The first media description of Jenkem came from an Inter Press Service wire report in 1995.[2] In 1999 BBC News then ran a story devoted to this new drug.[1] Then in 2004 the South African weekly investigative newspaper Mail & Guardian included the mention of Jenkem abuse in a correspondent report on the predicament of Zambia's street children.[3] The news reports give no information as to how or when the children first began manufacturing jenkem. Snopes (Urban Legends Reference Pages) still has the phenomenon listed as undetermined, however citing both a widely circulated trip report from an American teenager posted to the an online forum,[4] and a leaked alert bulletin from the Collier County Sherrif's Office in Naples, Florida which asserts that Jenkem has attained popularity in American schools.[5
