A very moving movie that made me feel very guilty about my German blood. It was recommended viewing for one of my college courses and though we had discussed it, I was not prepared for it. I mean I knew what would happen but...discussion does not prepare you for the emotions. Liam Neesen did a wonderful portrayal of Oskar Schindler who saved so many Jews to work in his factory during the war. And the ending was wonderful with the Schindler Jews placing the rocks on his grave to remember him. Shot almost entirely in black and white. The only color seen is a little girl in a red coat that Schindler sees in the Krakow Ghetto. Wonderful movie.
I know it's a mini series as well but it started as a book series first so that's why I'm putting it here. I was raised on these books and enjoyed the story immensely as well as the illustration. There is something for everyone here and I don't really see them as exclusively for children. Perhaps I'm just a kid at heart and a dinosaur fanatic but I think it's a wonderful story. http://www.dinotopia.com/index.html There's the official website if you'd like you'd like to read more. So am I the only one who has heard of Dinotopia?
It's April and it's ****ING SNOWING OUTSIDE. I say get Al Gore up in Wisconsin right now. I will make him eat his Nobel Prize. =/
I love it when the kiddies get grounded from the computer because of bad grades. Seriously, it's amusing.
Seriously...follow them. Bend them all you like but don't ever break them.
SJ is feeling a little blue. Need a hug? :3
Okay so I found this on a friend's LJ and...yeah It's nice that Nomura actually got Kojima's opinion but I'd rather not have Snake in Kingdom Hearts.
I swear. I was just sitting here watching the snow fall when all of a sudden comes a rumble of THUNDER. That's right...THUNDER with SNOW. Oh and here's a radar image for you: http://www.accuweather.com/radar-la...&site=WI_&type=SIR&anim=1&level=state&large=1

They're not that great and are sort of getting on my nerves. Find some other food item to be obsessed with. kthnxbai
xD If anyone's offended, please gain a sense of humor.
This is just wrong. Why would you let your kid die like this? The family has 3 other children and that Social Services in looking into the situation to see if they are being neglected as well.
I'd like the forum to work properly. Can we manage this?

So what is the song that everyone associates with Ireland and St. Patrick's day? Danny Boy. Yes I know it's a nice song but there is nothing Irish about it. Danny Boy was written by an English lawyer who not once set foot in Ireland. Never experienced its culture nor its people nor Ireland itself. Not to mention that Danny Boy isn't the most popular song in Ireland. Most of Ireland's music are either the fiddle laden music you hear in pubs or the ballads by bands such as Celtic Thunder. It also centers on its history and the recent clash between Catholics and Protestants which is still going on. But there are countless other Irish songs like Caldonia, The Fields of Athenry, Adieu Lovely Nancy, and more than I can name? So why is it this non-Irish song written by an Englishman gets the most attention. And I'm not even getting into the countless fanfics featuring whiny emo pseudo-Irish characters cutting themselves to Danny Boy because they're whiny emo pseudo-Irish girl/boyfriend <Insert stupid cliche plot device here the day before St. Patricks day. So please, when you're celebrating St.Patrick's day, listen to music that's Irish?
Okay so this probably could go into the Games section. But this is a fun little point and click adventure game that's basically a multiple choice quiz. I found it rather fun and enjoyable. http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/games/questionaut/questionaut.swf And you don't have to download anything to play it.
Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world Painful to me Pierce right through me Can't you understand Oh my little girl All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only harm Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable All I ever wanted Enjoy the silence
Night I just got done reading this book and writing a paper on it for my Holocaust class and I must say that it is a depressing book to read but at the same time it illustrates how someone can survive even when the world around them refuses to help them. Anyone else read this or are reading this? Discuss. And please keep the discussion Intelligent and respectful.
Shall be a day forever cursed in the minds of men.
