- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
LOL, Tut. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Donnie Darko *head spins*
- Frankie Warren
+1, Brian. Well, the first time we watched it, we were like WTF??!?!??!!? at the end. But then we read a couple reviews and articles online to give us hints, and we rewatched it the same night. Made more sense when we knew what the "trick" was. Good movie. Solaris was a strange one that was a little puzzling, but we still liked it a lot.
- Cheryl Jones
Brazil, The Lost Highway, Memento. I got these just fine, it just took several viewings to really appreciate them.
- Jennifer Dittrich
The Royal Tenenbaums
- Tim Hoeck
I understood Pulp Fiction a lot more after seeing it a few times.
- Shannon Jiménez
Jennifer, I know what you mean about Memento. Great film too. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Predator only because it was so boring in the beginning I would fall asleep. After about six attempts I finally saw the whole movie.
- Janet
LOL @ Janet. ou have more patience than me. I got 20 minutes into '300' decided it was too long-winded and that was that . I didn't go back and try again.
- Ian May
For the never get: 2001. I understand all of the bits, and keep trying to watch it, but in my head it just adds up to a very slow, boring movie punctuated briefly by plot. I understand that it is probably brilliant, but I just can't seem to 'get' it.
- Jennifer Dittrich
pie (the symbol) is the greatest movie ever, my favorite and fits in both of those catagories, lol
- echostreamer
Mulholland Drive for me too. Still have no idea what it is about.
- Nikhil Dandekar
Nowhere near as good as Memento, but I can see how "The Prestige" might take a couple viewings.
- Christopher A Carr
Vanilla Sky, I had to watch that movie three times to fully get it.
- Molly, "sorry"
Mulholland Drive! ZOMGWTF was that?!? However, On the Silver Globe takes the cake for all time.
- James (!?)
Groundhog Day
- Rodfather
I still don't get Donnie Darko.
- Alix Whitmire
Alix, give it one or two more goes. Very good movie. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes

- BEX
The Nines. It was brilliant once you understood what was happening. There were a lot of interesting cues I missed the first time, like the importance of the first letter of the character's names.
- Barbara
The Matrix, get it now.
- Nurse Katie
Solaris (the Clooney version). I didn't get it at all at first, I even went so far as to trash it. But after a second viewing I completely changed my mind, so much that it's on my top 10 list of favourite movies.
- cecily
The Thin Red Line.
- Kevin Pedraja
for me, I don't get Conspiracy Theory. ;-)
- George Hall (Australia)
from BuddyFeed
Mulholland Drive - seriously, it *kinda* makes sense up to a point and then...it just goes utterly mental. Also, Donnie Darko is like a slippery fish - sometimes I think I get it and then...I realise, nope, something doesn't fit.
- Amy
The Exterminating Angel - extra points for anyone whose actually seen it!
- Toby Graham
Was Mullholland Drive the one with the raining frogs? If so then that one.
- Steve C
Toby, The Exterminating Angel is awesome. :) So is pretty much every movie listed here. I'd go with INLAND EMPIRE as mine. Less coherent than Mulholland Drive, but no less brilliant. Steve, the raining frogs one is Magnolia.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
@Steve: I think that was Magnolia. Mulholland Drive was even more bizarre.
- Jim Norris
Memento takes a couple views. :) Good movie.
- Tanath
Jandy, I should of twigged you'd like it, I bet you loved Jacobs Ladder too!
- Toby Graham
Uh oh, Toby, you got me on that one. Haven't seen it, but I will now!
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
You must, but I warn you it's a humdinger!
- Toby Graham
+1 Jennifer Dittrich. 2001 was an overrated movie, IMO. It was /extremely/ boring. Did I mention it was boring? Extremely boring.
- Jason Huebel
I didn't find it boring in the slightest.
- Christopher A Carr

I've been a beta user of GrandCentral for some time now (which was changed to Google Voice) and they also promised non-US service, but never materialized. It's a great service, I use it for my USA friends to contact me easily. You can use Canadian numbers as the forwarded recipent, but as you found out you cannot get a non-US account number at this time. Pretty silly of them to send you an invite, hehe. I would have thought once Google got their hands on it it'd be a little more global.

- Rodfather
The fishing is SOOOOO fun. The best part is, gardening and fishing go hand in hand. Wait - let me back up. The fish caught and plants grown are all various levels. The more 'perfect' quality plants I use as bait, there's a higher probability of catching 'perfect' fish, which I can use to fertilize plants OR sell for Simoleans. Also, it ties into cooking i.e. cooking with the organic ingredients and fish. Oh man I sound so nerdy.

I hate going to the movies because it's such a process here in L.A, but also, movies were the only thing one of my ex's would do for fun (or one of the few things) and so sometimes we'd go 3 times a week for many many many years. i just grew to hate the experience. I love movies, but I don't like going to the theater.

I'm in the same camp as Jack Carlson... anytime I mention that I've not seen Lord of the Rings nor Harry Potter, people are surprised. I will, at some point, take a day and watch the LOTR trilogy back-to-back-to-back. I doubt I'll ever take time to watch Harry Potter.

As much as I wasn't even aware that Compuserve still 'existed,' I'm somehow sad to hear of its passing. It was my first online experience, I had good friends and strange experiences on the forums. Anyway, there's solace in the joys of the real-time web.

It sure was. My first time online was with Compuserve in 1980, right before H&R Block bought them. It was the only service that was available on the Amiga also. I just checked, and they're still in business. I had no idea they were around still.

Heh, I wonder if the Mac OS X CompuServe application will still run on modern versions of Mac OS X under Rosetta. That might be "fun" in a masochistic way.

Byte Size Biology » From predator to plant in one gulp - http://bytesizebio.net/index...
"Imagine a creature that swims and preys on others, but once it eats a certain kind of plant, that plant grows inside it, causing the predator to lose its ability to prey and start using sunlight to make its food. Its preying mouth is replaced by an eye that is needed to find sunlight. This is the Hatena ('enigma' in Japanese). The kicker: when Hatena reproduces, one offspring is a peaceful photosynthesizer with the sun-seeking eye, while the other is yet again a predator with a voracious mouth."

if you had not been going up a one way street the wrong way, I would not have swerved to avoid you and hit the curb, causing me to have two flat tires. But what do I know? Maybe it was all my fault.
That's horrible :(
- Barbara
at least I was within about two miles from my house, and a wonderful man stopped and changed one of the tires to my spare. Plus, we've really been thinking about getting new tires anyways. I just hope I didn't damage anything besides the tires.
- Laura Norvig
Oh no! That's horrible - definitely the other person's fault.
- Katy S
now that I think about it, there really is no curb on that street - I think I hit an actual rock. Not sure, it was getting dark. it's weird, too, I really wasn't going that fast - it was like a freak accident. Off to price tires today - I think I may have to buy five!
