Quote: By movie previews, technically. I did watch about half an hour of one of the Lord of the Rings movies and I hated it.. I may be biased but I prefer reading books over watching movies. I read the Lord of the Rings which I liked, but I couldn't stand the movie. I didn't mind reading the Harry Potter books but once again I couldn't stand the movie. Ditto for Chronicles of Narnia. I'm worried about the Golden Compass film coming out in Dec. It's an awesome book so I'll go see the movie, but I don't think I'm going to like it. I guess because when you read you can sort of create your own interpretation but when you have to watch someone else's it's just not as good. _________________________________________________ |

Quote: I strongly dislike Harry Potter and The Lord Of The Rings, which I consider of the same nature. Personally, I wouldn't go if offered a free trip. Coming from someone who puts 4 movie quotes from the same movie in his signature. Your opinion about movie genres would be ... skewed. |

Reader's Digest should publish an info card set about movies for people who don't bother to see the movie trailers/previews. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

Yeah, it's even worse than saying the GIMP and Blender are crap after trying to figure their UI out for 30 minutes. No, wait, it's not worse. It's the same... -- |

Absolutely! This is why I always make sure to try out the software I talk about before making poignant statements about them. -- |

I used to come to these forums to find intelligent discussions, after suffering a lot in others. Where shall I go now? -R |

As we're on the topic of reading, the first Godfather book is brilliant. I just read it after buying it in a charity shop for 20p. A bargain even though the pages started to fall out half way through. |

I wouldn't pay to go to a Harry Potter theme park either. If I received them with an all expenses paid trip to Florida I would probably wind up scalping the tickets in the HP Land parking lot and spending the rest of the time lounging about in the hotel. As for LoTR and HP discussion. I thought the LoTR was a good series which definitely kept me entertained for a while. I read the first few books HP and saw the first couple of movies and lost interest. I suppose it's possible I lost interest in the fantasy genre... Oh wait, I still love playing Dungeons and Dragons, guess I do still like fantasy. ================================================= |

An Allegro Theme Park would be fun. Lots of slot machines with the best, no, ALL of the games on the depot. And some real world implementations of the games. And every Monday there would be a team that would make a game of your wildest ideas. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

Or at least a team that would discuss the topic fiercely, deride your game idea in several ingenious ways, shred your dreams to pieces and proceed to a discussion about relative merits of C and C++. Or, we can have free beer. --------------------------- |

All a.cc members would get free unrestricted access to any grounds of the Allegro Amusement Park (AAP) as well as accomodations in the 5 star hotel I would presumably build immediately outside the park. Perhaps there would be some kind of monorail teleportation system from the hotel to the park. We'll see. The beer would of course be open source, unless it gets fouled by a bad licensing scheme, in which we would have to hold a debate (probably on a.cc) as to what brand the new beer should be. ================================================= |
