Movie Numerology

Nice addition! I’ll add it to the list…

What a great idea about Pi! How in the world did I miss that one? I’m supposed to be the math nerd. And what a great film, too! Yep, you got the nomenclature right. ๐Ÿ™‚

I’ll add both, Patty. Thanks!

Good idea, Patty! I’ll get right on the patent filing!

Pleasantville vs. The Truman Show

Sent you a private email…

Paper Clips

Yes, Spellbound is a great film, Carl! Extremely funny and suspenseful! I love documentaries that introduce me to people with wildly different personalities. It’s so fun to see how different we all can be!

Thanks for the info about your great uncle. I have a great uncle on my Mom’s side (I believe I was named after him) who was a gunner. He was killed in action during some bombing run. Amazing times, those were.

Yeah, it’s in theaters now here in Dallas.

Pieces of April

Wow, isn’t that frustrating, Mary? It’s hard for me to understand how someone couldn’t connect to its themes at *some* level, as you said.

And yep, that ending was pitch perfect. Made me lose it too. ๐Ÿ™‚

Yes, Station Agent is great! Clarkson is really a fine actress.

Oh, crud, no I forgot to watch the extras! And I netflixed this too. And it was set to go out to the mail, but thankfully I read your comment. I’ll watch that stuff tonight…

some thoughts on M. Night

Encouraging bit, isn’t it? I loved that article too. ๐Ÿ™‚

I think it’s because they were just hoping for a bigger pay off at the end like Sixth Sense, when actually each was more of an introspective resolution.

I’m with you, Julie! Great, great movies.

» Posted By Rob On April 29, 2005 @ 10:55 pm

Exactly! I really enjoy the articles on that site. Very thought provoking.

Million Dollar Baby

Same here, Patty! (Oh, maybe I shouldn’t have revealed that.)

The Incredibles, part 2

Ooo! Do tell the meaning behind 88mph! I’ve always wanted to know if that was arbitrary or not.

Also, were you behind Teen Wolf?

» Posted By Rob On November 20, 2010 @ 12:59 pm

Tis a shame, Melvin. I know a lot of people that would kill to see an Incredibles sequel. Incidentally, what can you tell us about Back to the Future? Was Stolz the better choice for Marty McFly?

» Posted By Rob On November 17, 2010 @ 6:48 pm

No, “part 2” was just the name of my post, not of a possible movie sequel. But wouldn’t that be great?!

» Posted By Rob On March 26, 2009 @ 2:03 pm

Hmm,

Interesting question. At the risk of sounding very conservative, I would have to say that social programs such as equal-opportunity employment and affirmative action have flourished in this postmodern environment. Neither of those programs could have been feasible 50 years ago.

It’s a tough ideal to promote, that of elitism. If a society goes too far with hero worship, you become very susceptible to fascism or class warfare. On the other hand, if everyone is reduced to the same worth and ability (whether truthfully or not), it starts to feel Orwellian pretty quickly.

Thanks for the fun thoughts!

Scam Spam Correspondence

Jon ยป

Take a look at the fonts on his “passport”. Do you see how crisp they look? If it were scanned, those fonts wouldn’t have such nice edges. Compare those with the other fonts of the passport, where this is some tearing and smudging. Those are legit. His name and personal info are not.

yasar ยป

Yep, it’s probably a scam!

Heredity Quizzes

Don’t worry, Julie. Just a momentary geek distraction. Our regular programming will now resume! ๐Ÿ˜‰

The Dating Sign: Road Work Ahead

Dacia! Yay, you’re my first commenter. ๐Ÿ™‚

Yeah, I suppose you’re right. The silent signals are all part of the game of dating. Still, it’s frustrating.

Numbers don’t lie

Hmm, two excellent points, ladies. On one hand, Angela’s point about religion greatly reduces the numbers.

But then Julie’s point brings in the supernatural, which is indeed — by definition — unquantifiable.

The Hero and The Wilderness

Ahh, of course. It all makes sense now!

» Posted By Rob On July 19, 2005 @ 10:35 pm

It was the first one. Too cool!

» Posted By Rob On June 30, 2005 @ 4:20 am

That’s really cool, Angela! I really love it when pastors get out of the box like that.

I once saw a sermon with clips of the Matrix. That was so cool. ๐Ÿ™‚

Who left the seat up?

๐Ÿ˜‰

» Posted By Rob On September 24, 2005 @ 10:23 pm

LOL. Oh, that’s the sister I love so much. Mel is the COOLEST!

» Posted By Rob On April 1, 2005 @ 7:43 am

Lol, Patty, you’re too funny. Isn’t that why they invented those butt gasket things to buffer you from the seat? Cut down on the “quad burn”?

» Posted By Rob On March 30, 2005 @ 3:46 pm

Ain’t my BIL the coolest? Great post, Jimbo. Tell that firecracker to read her Bible and submit (to quote Tom or James or one of the doghoused males in this circle).

Melissa, you know you love me. I’m the Golden Boy!
