Bridget Jones's Diary
Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)

IMDB rating: 6.90

Plot: Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) is an average woman struggling against her age, her weight, her job, her lack of a man, and her many imperfections. As a New Year’s Resolution, Bridget decides to take control of her life, starting by keeping a diary in which she will always tell the complete truth. The fireworks begin when her charming though disreputable boss (Hugh Grant) takes an interest in the quirky Miss Jones and the ups and downs of their ill-fated relationship prove hilarious and touching at once. Thrown into the mix are Bridget’s band of slightly eccentric friends and a rather disagreeable acquaintance (Colin Firth) who Bridget cannot seem to stop running into or help finding quietly attractive.

BOOK GROUPIE: If you like chick lit, you’ll love Bridget
02.10.09

Back in 1996, an earthquake of sorts hit the publishing industry. Author Helen Fielding was responsible for the tremors, when her “Bridget Jones’s Diary” hit the shelves. The clever little book has sold more than 2 million copies.

 It’s helped establish chick lit as a permanent publishing genre and has inspired thousands of imitations. While I’ve enjoyed many other chick lit masterpieces, some of which I’ve recommended in this column, only “Bridget Jones’s Diary” has earned a permanent space on my bookshelf. Don’t ask to borrow my copy, because I won’t let you.

Any help is much appreciated!?
Does anyone know of a couple banks that typically have low interest rates on their credit cards? I’m trying to find one to transfer my credit card onto another credit card with a lower interest rate so I am not wasting money on interest. I am with Wells Fargo right now and had a 13% interest rate on my card, but after losing my job and missing 3 or 4 payments over the past year and a half, my interest shot up to almost 27% and now I feel stuck! I only got a credit card to gain credit and I feel like I’m totally screwed. My card is current now but I’m afraid I will be paying this off forever so I would like to do a credit transfer in hopes of saving money in interest and paying it off more quickly. Being in debt is scary and I feel like this is my only answer. Besides, Wells Fargo has been running me around like crazy and lying to me to get their money. They have screwed me over and misinformed me one too many times and I can’t help but feel that it was intentional to get more money out of me. I fought with them but it falls on deaf ears. They just don’t care and seems to forget that they are a business and I am a paying customer. Any good advice or even your own experiences would be helpful.

Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor (2001)

IMDB rating: 5.30

Plot: The above summaries do a great job of describing the dynamics of the love triangle that develops between the two pilots that fall in love with the same nurse. The movie also does a credible job of displaying the war from the American side with FDR and our side. It also shows the strategy of Japan as they plan for and execute all facets of the attack on Pearl Harbor. While all details may not be historically correct, I believe that they do the job well - all things considered. Historic events that were altered were probably done so in an attempt to also make this movie the entertaining epic that it is.

Directors: Bay Michael

Actors: Affleck Ben,Sizemore Tom,Hartnett Josh,Gooding Jr. Cuba,Voight Jon,Baldwin Alec,Scott William Lee,Zola Greg,Bremner Ewen,King Jaime,Shannon Michael,Action,Drama,Romance,War,

What if the USSR or USA had not joined WW2?
When the Japanese bombed pearl harbor they brought the United States into the war, when Germany invaded the USSR the soviets joined but my question is what if one (or both) of these sides hasn’t joined? The way I see it if Germany doesn’t invade Russia but America joins the war:
The United States attempt to liberate Nazi territory (along with support from the allies), if they don’t succeed they deploy the bomb on German citizens to try to force them into submission and the allies eventually win.

If Germany invades USSR but America doesn’t get involved:
Germany with support from allies of Japan (who wouldn’t be fighting America) and Italy fight the USSR and the allies and the axis power eventually win a brutal war.

What do you think?


both USSR and USA would eventually have to get involved

germany believed they deserves "living space" as they were the master race and had the right to take from the inferior races such as the Russians so they would have invaded russia any way it was hitler plan all along: neutralize western europe and annex eastern europe

the USA would have eventually have to get involved if germany had became powerful enough to rival them

one way your theory could have happened is if D-day failed.if it had failed then only the russians could have defeated Germany with the USA supporting them or not getting involved at all who knows if the rest of the allies didn’t liberate western europe it would have to be left to the USSR to do it and the cold war would have been lot worse. imaging the USA against the USSR but also a soviet occupied europe
John H | Feb 06, 2010


If either of those non-events had transpired the entirity of Europe would be speaking Russian today.

Germany would almost certainly have spent itself against the British while the USSR waited smiling in the wings manufacturing T34s, bombers, fighters, mobile artillery, and learning from the mistakes of both Germany and Britain.

'Jesus was more important as a teacher than as a miracle worker' What do you think? Give your opinion…?
its a 3 mark question, so obviously 3 points to get the mark,

thank you ^.^

xx


I completely agree. His message was more important. The miracles were simply to confirm that His message was true. I wish more people would read his message and listen.

Kaje98 | Feb 24, 2010


Jesus is most important as a Savior.

Jesus is God, and Jesus loves you so very much! :D And the Trinity is true!

The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to hell, is by believing in Jesus for His free gift of salvation, believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God, died on the cross for all our sins as FULL PAYMENT for all our sins, and then Jesus rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe in Jesus for His free gift of salvation, and you will be in heaven, no matter what!

Salvation is a FREE GIFT that happens in a split second when you believe in Jesus to save you! It is impossible to lose or "leave" salvation (John 6:39-40, John 10:28, 1 John 5:13).

Please pray now: "Jesus, I believe that You died on the cross to pay for my sins and that You rose from the dead, and I thank You for eternal life!" You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die! :D David | Feb 24, 2010


Jesus didn’t come to prove His miracles. Jesus came to show us the way of salvation.
Be Blessed | Feb 24, 2010


He was more important as a teacher to guide mankind to the straight path, all Prophets and Messengers of God, were given miracles to prove the existance of God.
I love ALLAH | Feb 24, 2010


definitely, because his teachings endure forever across every theistic or atheistic boundary while his miracles were life-changing, but the individual can get too cocky and forget who healed them.
midnightlife | Feb 24, 2010


Everyone’s a teacher if you think about it.
confused | Feb 24, 2010


hes important all around the most important thing about him is him dieing on the cross for u me nd everyone else. hes a great teacher and teaches us lots but performs miracles for those who come to him. so need to see to believe..he teaches us through miracles nd theres miracles for his teachings
Angel | Feb 24, 2010


Jesus himself said that. And besides, a good enough teacher can show you how to work miracles yourself. Give a hungry man a fish to fry and he may eat that day, but show him how to fish and he will be supplied for a lifetime. Maybe I paraphrased that a little. Anyhow, we shall move mountains. And we already make tunnels through mountains and under the sea as well.
kmacnevi Ambassador From Hell | Feb 24, 2010


Jesus’ teachings are what saved people, not his miracles. Jesus’ teachings are what helped the people around him in the longer run. Teaching forgiveness and kindness does a lot more than healing one person. Jesus as a teacher was someone who even non-Christians can look at as an exemplary individual who did good in this world.

What are your favorite words?


Sammi F. I’m a little bit worried about your affinity (I like that word) for annihilate. I also like mellifluous, redolent and recalcitrant. Amorous is good, too.

Lookout, The
Lookout, The (2007)

IMDB rating: 7.40

Plot: An admired high school hockey player (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) with a bright future foolishly takes a drive in the night with his girl friend and two other friends with his headlights off with devastating results. The former athlete is left with a brain injury that prevents him from remembering many things for extended periods of time. To compensate, he keeps notes in a small notebook to aid him in remembering what he is to do. He also lives with a blind friend (Jeff Daniels) who aids him. Obviously, with the mental incapacitation, he is unable to have meaningful work. Thus he works as a night cleaning man in a bank. It is there he comes under the scrutiny of a gang planning to rob the bank. The leader (Matthew Goode) befriends him and gets him involved with a young woman (Isla Fisher) who further reels him in. After they get close and after reeling him in with his own failures, the bank plan unfolds. Confused but wanting to escape his current existence, he initially goes along with the scheme. After realizing he is being used, he attempts to stop the robbery, which of course immediately goes awry. Bruce McGill and Alberta Watson also co-star as the young man’s parents, who still search for the person that was there before the tragic crash.

Why did she use up the extra fuel to drive me around to lookout point?
Her car was making a loud clunking noise from the front wheels while going round a corner and she asked me to go along for a ride in the car with her so that I could hear the noise. The first corner we went around there was the noise so we went right around the block twice to confirm the noise happens during turning left and turning right.

Then she said well lets go for a run out to the lookout point (we live by the sea and our town has a small lookout area which added about an extra 7mins to the whole trip)

I have known her for the last 3 and a half years She has always been very friendly and talkative towards me most girls are not. Every time I am around her she is very happy, giggly and funny as anything

I couldn’t figure out what was making the noise in her car and the funny thing is she has never been bothered by it since.

She like me has very little money, why did she use up extra fuel driving around to the lookout point?


Maybe to thank you for the trouble? It’s not always like that you know. Don’t limit your thinking.
The Super Beast | Feb 07, 2010


because she wanted to spend time with you
i cant tell you if its just friendship or more..but she definately likes you in one way or another…spend more time with her and see where it goes

What is the historical significance of the film 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'?


I grew up in that era, and I don’t recall it having any sort of historical significance beyond bringing the Broadway hit to the screen. Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell already were established stars, so there is nothing significant there. It did not break any rules or establish any precedents.

I can’t think of a single thing that makes it significant. It was a box-office hit, but that would have been expected because of the cast and the popularity of the musical.

Now, someone who enjoys rewriting history might make some wild claim. However, I lived through that time period and can verify that there is NO historical significance for this particular movie.

From Wikipedia:
At the time of its release, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" was both a critical and commercial success, with Monroe receiving the best reviews of her career.

Take a ride with me: Who's the Champ?
IT’s 1975 and we’re in the arena, about to watch the main event, a heavyweight fight between two contenders. The room goes dark and no one can see or hear anything. When all comes to, we’ve traveled through time.

We’re in the Arena still but, this time, ALL the heavyweight champions, From Sullivan to Klitschko are there too. Each is in his prime. We see Louis38, ALI66, Holmes80, Lewis01, Tyson89, Dempsey19. All the champions at their best, along with Both Vitali and Wladimir who are, ironically, at their best today.

There is no champion and you are given the task to stage an elimitation tournament. The tournament will result in two champions who will then face each other for the title of Heavyweight Champion of the World.

The Tournament begins Jan 1 1975. The year really doesn’t matter and has no baring on any particular champion. It doesn’t mean that the fighters who actually fought during that time have any advantage. Change the year if you like.

Your job is to end the tournment in three years and result with ONE champion.

Fast forward five years to 1980.

Here are the QUESTIONS

1. Who are the 8 finalists?
2. Who will be the champion? Who are the Top 10 Contenders?

3. How long does the champ keep the title and, if he loses it, who wins it? When?
4. What does the heavyweight division look like by 1980?
5. How about 1985? Does anything change?


I agree with the first answer,even though i consider guys like Ali,Tunney and Louis better boxers than Klitschkos, i just can’t see how any of them could overcome their jab and size.I am talking about Wladimir of 2007-10 who looks super human and Vitali who has always been very dominant,i think an all Klitschko final is very possible indeed.Wladimir should be thankful to Emanuel Steward for his career and dominant figure,Wladimir lost from inferior boxers only because he had not met Emanuel earlier in his career,basically Emanuel is responsible for the creation of one of the most dominant champions in the history of boxing.
Vitali vs Wladimir in the final , Wlad by UD.
Madden | Jan 30, 2010


The Klitschko brothers could not lay a glove on Ali.

Mike Tyson would knock them out quickly.

George Foreman would knock them out even faster.

Ali was the best, but every fighter has trouble with a certain style. Norton gave an older Ali a Challenge.
Dewey | Jan 30, 2010


Hey my friend, great question! Im glad you finally asked one! You havent asked a question for a while!

These are my 8 contestants: Louis, Holmes, Ali, Dempsey, Tyson, Jack Johnson, Liston, Holyfield.

Louis beats Holmes
Ali beats Dempsey
Johnson beats Tyson
Holyfield beats Liston

Semi Finals:

Louis beats Ali
Johnson beats Holyfield

Finals:

Roxanne
Roxanne (1987)

IMDB rating: 6.60

Plot: This is a remake of Cyrano de Bergerac, one of the most celebrated plays of the French theater, written by Edmond Rostand. Instead of being set in 17th century France, “Cyrano” has been changed to “Charlie”, a fire chief in a small town in Washington. Roxanne, played by the beautiful Darryl Hanna, rents a house for the summer to look at comets and Charlie quickly falls for her. Charlie is intelligent, funny, and sensitive, but all his fine qualities are unfortunately overshadowed by his very large nose (”Excuse me, it that your nose or did a bus park on your face?”). Charlie’s friend, Chris, on the other hand, is quite attractive, but superficial and awkward with words, especially around women (he has a tendency to throw up a lot). Both men are enthralled with Roxanne, but she, in a shallow but predictable move, shows interest in the handsome Chris. Chris is tongue-tied around her — everything that comes out of his mouth is either vulgar or indecipherable. So he asks Charlie for help. Charlie, inspired, writes 3 love letters a day to Roxanne, unbeknownst to Chris. Charlie’s eloquent letters work, because Roxanne falls in love with Chris. But Chris can’t meet Roxanne’s expectations in person and he soon runs off with a waitress who is “pretty cute, too”.
