do these volleyball assholes have to hug each other after every point? what a bunch of tools. They must have been taught that since the game is pointless, we have to over emphasize every stupid detail.
I mean these guys are hugging when the other team serves into the net for fucks sake.

I just watched Richard Roeper's review of Dark Shadows. Details aside, he could have been talking about any Tim Burton movie. Quirky, uneven, visual stuff going on.

He gave it a C which I guess translates into the 5/10 area although he called it the first big disappointment of the summer season so whatever.



Since I have put myself in the advice-giving business today, here is my advice for Richard Roeper - using letter grades for movie ratings is a bad idea. Doesn't work.



Michael Phillips is giving Dark Shadows 2 out of 4 stars.

I have zero interest in watching Tim Burton movies. To me, Johnny Depp has been semi-retired for 20 years.

I mean, isn't Johnny Depp the same character in every movie?

IMO we're talking bout Burton lacking! Depp is a genius or as Muddy states potentially possibly to get there!!

Moving to the south of France no doubt was a bad move! Not as bad as Quebec but ...... just sayin!

It's too bad that Ted Demme died. Him and Depp made a good team.

I guess Depp likes what he likes. He has also worked repeatedly with Terry Gilliam who is about as close to Tim Burton as a director can be. If someone told me Terry Gilliam has actually been Tim Burton all along, it would only be a mild surprise to me.

Perhaps it is to his credit that he pursues his passions rather than being an Oscar whore.

I actually fell asleep at Alice In Wonderland but I'm not sure Depp was in that.

Donnie Brasco and Blow redeems Johnny. If that is his real name.

 

[Mudcat]

Someone needs to take Winona and me away from it all.

 

[Tron]

Donnie Brasco and Blow are indeed excellent films. But it seems like another life, boys.

M'Fer, whenever I close the computer without shutting it down, the fingerprint reader will not come back. How do you get your reader to turn back on after it shuts itself off?

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Hmm. I don't have a problem with that. Should come up automatically whenever a login form appears. You have an HP?

 

[mcbaseball10]

Yes, i5.

I'd try uninstalling SimplePass and reinstall it.

my fingerprint reader shut off permanently after having the computer for about a week.

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

McB, download the newest version of SimplePass from the HP website before reinstalling though.

Those things can be sensitive. I wiped the keyboard of one of my laptops down once and killed the fingerprint reader somehow.
