What was the last movie you watched?


Recommended Posts

Finally came around to seeing Avatar. Though I can agree with the masses that the story can be followed by a 7 year old. There's something special about the film. Moments that take you back to that beautiful dream you had one night, only to awaken to a feeling of disappointment, to see that it was all a dream. Now I sit and wonder... was it really a dream ? :)

It left me with a great feeling. Oddly, one of hope. So I can't help but giving the movie a personal score of 10/10.

I guess there was a lot more to the story than it let off after all. :yes:

10/10 makes you wanna jump on some ski's now with some friends and travel the world's best peaks. :yes: Trevor Petersen was a Legend.

Story:

Welcome to The Edge of Never.

The Edge of Never is a nonfiction book that follows the story of a young man, Kye Petersen, who travels to Chamonix, France, to ski the route that killed his famous, big-mountain skiing father, Trevor Petersen. It?s told by a has-been pro skier who joins forces with the late ABC News anchorman, Peter Jennings, to make a documentary film about the event. I set out to write a book that would stay true to mountain culture while offering non-skiers a timeless, human tale.

Here?s what a few reviewers have said about the book:

Transcending the boundaries of sport, the book tells a deeply interpersonal and moving human story. Yet Kerig stays true to the roots and core values that define the culture of skiing. ? Powder magazine

While the potential for clich?d ?So there I was?? adventure writing is great, Kerig avoids that pitfall with clear prose that delves into why skiers take such risks. ? Skiing magazine

The Edge of Never takes the reader beyond mountains, beyond snow and ice and danger and into the heart of family. ? The Wasatch Journal

[Kerig is] a careful observer capable of balance and fine distinction, able to celebrate a richness of life. ? The Tattered Cover Book Store

Ok, but nothing more... sadly. After all impressive trailers and cast expected something more. Thou movie itself felt flat, atleast it was beautiful and glamorous. Probably the best way to describe it would be "2 hour long Martini ad".

watching one of the best war movies around...

unfortunately it based on a true story.

"Black Hawk Down" on STARZ cable. :woot:

makes you wanna go play COD4 or Battlefield 2 lol

    • I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
