IMDB rating: 7.10

Plot: John Marion Stryker is the ultimate Marine, a tough rifle squad leader who in 1943 is assigned a squad of new recruits saddled with three veterans and an old enemy of Stryker’s from previous duties in the Far East. One recruit in particlar is a source of friction with Stryker, Peter Conway, whose father was Stryker’s CO at Guadalcanal and who felt his son was too soft and cowardly to be a Marine. The squad grows more and more resentful at Stryker’s increasingly brutal training regimen and his lack of sympathy for the varied personal problems of the recruits, but his determination to mold them into fighting men helps save their lives when the squad is landed at Tarawa in November 1943 and Stryker risks his life to blow up a Japanese bunker that has slaughtered Marines trapped at a log wall. The now battle-tested squad becomes more closely-knit and Stryker’s relationship with the men warms as the squad eventually finds itself in the bloodiest island battle of the war, at Iwo Jima.

It was John Wain who first said "I will be back. "

Not that fellow who played the hulk.

But to answer your question. Have you watched "Gilda". She sings put the blame on me boys, put the blame on me, war time favorite.

Also "Rebecca"

Bet you do not remember "The Iron horse." It was a train - western.

Gregory Peck was funny.

Went The Day Well.

Mrs Miniver (American war film, brilliant).

My grandfather once was in a film with Patrick McGoohan who was Danger Man. (John Drake).

So, yes there certainly have been some excellent black and white films, including those in your list.

"Saturday Night and Sunday Morning" was another classic.

Richard Burton of course was a great actor. So too his wife Elizabeth Taylor.

But my favorite was - is Glenda Jackson. In serious films or comedy. Not many can do both successfully as she did.
Stevalia | Nov 12, 2007


I like the WW II movies especially with Nazis doing their intimidation thingy.

I also like the 60’s stuff with our people and the British dorking the KGB.

MY IPHONE's ACTING UP NEW VOICE RECORDER ACTIVATED SELF CAUGHT STRANGE NOISES?
I always use my iPhone to play white noise to sleep when I travel. It’s just too quite in hotel rooms to sleep. Three weeks ago I was in an older hotel in New York and of course. I had my phone with me. As usual I had left myself some voice notes for next days work on an extended voice recording app I had purchaed and then switched to the alarm / white noise player and fell asleep. Just this morning I noticed that my recorder registers a long amount of record time. I had not used the notes on the trip so I forgot about them.
But when I began playing those notes I had made three weeks earlier there are all kinds of strange noises left behind. I can hear myself moving in the bed or pulling on covers and a few times cleared my throat. But these are different. Strange noises sounds like from in the room or bathroom. There are about 28 mins all together. And they seem to stop when you can hear someone walking in the hallway and the sound of my paper bring shoved under the door.
I’m lost as to what they could be. Is it possible that the app I putchased started by itself and caught these sounds? I just tried to leave it on and switch to my alarm as I had that night and it shuts off every time. Lastly, the first began no more than 30 mins after the white noise maker shut down on it’s preset timer.
So is my iPhone or this recording app messed up? It was only 9.99 for the extended app so I can always erase and redownload or get a new one.
Has anyone else’s recorder started by itself or has your iPhone recorded strange noises?
This isn’t a joke so please only real answers no
ghost crackpots.
I am trying this once more. First time early today I wrote this question and entered it on the computer section. I get first answer back but the answer came from the religious section of this forum. This is getting stranger. If this question appears on religious section again please ignore.

How should i end this song?
Sometimes I wish that I was an angel
A fallen angel who visits your dreams
And in those dreams I’d blow you a message that says

Let the sun refuse to shine
It won’t be long before the days are brighter
If every step’s an uphill climb
Carry on until they feel much lighter

For all the clouds up in the sky(ohhhh)
For all the teardrops in our eyes

chorus: It can get only get better
Be still my heart
It can only get better
We’ve come this far
It can only get better

You will never love me
And this I can’t forgive
That you will never love me
As long as I will live
And it will always bug me
As long as I will live
Sometimes I wish that I was a beauty

Chorus:It can get only get better
Be still my heart
It can only get better
We’ve come this far
It can only get better

please tell me


with a nice clean verse at the end

Well, it has been along time since i wrote anything
so, i know for sure it’s bad,
i hope i don’t get bad criticize.

If only i can make the time go back,
and throw away all the darkness you got in the sack….

Maybe then, your eyes will be opened to see me,
observe all that love within me…

But i’m sorry, cause this is not meant to be done,
and dun worry, cause i will get back to be in the sun…

Hope you like it

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.

Mothership Zeta
Broken Steel
Point Lookout
???????????


Broken Steel in my opinion
You get a lot of new weapons, new enemies etc plus the level cap is increased to 30.

Point Lookout is good too with a lot to do in it

But apart from the some new alien weapons, Mothership Zeta isn’t that good.

Hope I helped!

Should I be being paid to go to college if I am doing an apprenticeship? (Dental Nurse NVQ3)?
Hi there people, I started training as a dental nurse 3 weeks ago and in my interview and on some contract-sheet-of-paper-thing I signed that I would attend college Friday afternoons unpaid to do an NVQ Level 3 in dental nursing so I would qualify in June/July next year. Apparently I’m very lucky as other girls at the practice have been there for years and still haven’t been put on a course to get their qualification. I was keen on this originally and it was all fine and dandy until I actually started and was informed by my other classmates at college that their employers pay them for the full afternoon (the course is 3 hours from 1-4 but obviously you’re not at work for that time and travelling to college etc). I am the only one not getting paid, and to add insult to injury, because I am under 25 they told me my employer will actually receive money from the government for having me as an apprentice.

I really like my new job; I got it on the grounds I have a photography degree and when I qualify my manager wants me to lead his practices in Clinical Photography and train other dental nurses to use digital SLRs - he’s currently getting me to do loads of photography as well as nursing. My manager is lovely, but he is also my dentist and I don’t want there to be any friction - I seem to be impressing so far, as I work and try very hard. My only issue is that I’m doing a 42 hour week, some overtime and a 3 hour college course with home study time of a minimum of 5 hours a week (50 hours of work a week without travel included). The job is extremely demanding and tiring, I have to cycle half hour there and back and to make up the time I’m at college I have to do 2 late nights a week. Should I approach my manager about this? I’m currently living in teeth land, dreaming in teeth land and would like a little relax time from it other than just weekends to be honest with you!! I’d appreciate any info, like how much my manager gets paid for me to do an apprenticeship and what you would do? Cheers x


Casually bring up the fact that everyone else in class is being paid for the full afternoon.
Then wait to hear the reply

Abnormal behaviors and/or disorders in disney movies?
For my exam, I have to write a paper about a fairy tale or a disney movie in which I analyze 3 characters who show signs of abnormal behavior and/or disorders- ie: Dory (from Finding Nemo) suffers from amnesia, Seven dwarves (all of them are messed up in some way)…The problem is I’m having trouble finding disorders within these characters. I really want to do Finding Nemo but I can only think of Dory and the father (who suffers from PTSD). A friend told me that the sharks are bipolar because they say they don’t want to kill other fish, but they are triggered when they smell blood.

If someone can help me that would be amazing!! Please no rude comments :)
My teacher said we have to refrain from using Winnie the Pooh because it’s too obvious and she already used it as an example lol. Thanks anyways.


Consider Winnie the Pooh

Eeyore appears to have dysthmia and/or Major Depressive Disorder - recurrent

Tigger is clearly suffering from ADHD

Rabbit shows signs of OCD, though you might want to rule/out Narcissistic Personality Disorder for this furry patient.

And Piglet could most certainly be diagnosed with Dependent Personality Disorder

Pooh himself appears to have Borderline Intellectual Functioning (an indicator of mental retardation).

Christopher Robin’s case (the boy who sincerely believes his stuffed animals are real) is the most severe. His auditory and visual hallucinations strongly indicate a diagnosis in the psychotic spectrum (e.g., Delusional Disorder or Schizophrenia).

~Dr. B.~

p.s. The little girl in the Nemo movie might be diagnosable with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (i.e., brat), but that might be a stretch. The sharks could be diagnosed with an Impulse Control Disorder- Not Otherwise Specified. The seagulls might be diagnosable with autism (perseverating on the fish - "mine", "mine", "mine").

michele | Jan 10, 2010


Since you want to do Finding Nemo, the abnormal behavior would be from the sharks. Originally sharks would eat fish, right. Well the movie portrays that sharks are good guys so not necessarily bipolar, just an abnormal behavior. And now you have your three characters: Dory (suffers amnesia), Nemo (PTSD), and the sharks (Unusual/abnormal behavior). I can’t really think of what to diagnose the sharks with and I am not sure if you really need to from what you asked in the question.
