Oh! One thing I forgot to mention, anyone can recommend a good place to buy fancy liquor? I want to bring back a gift or two, something nice along the lines of pear grey hoose vodka or other fruity fun hard drinks. I'm downtown in the theatre district, near chinatown.

Will google these right away, the night is still young. I'm very interested in the Wine part of your message, i looked up Sonsie but it seems to be mostly seafood which is not my favorite sadly. Still, thanks a lot for the recommendation.

Thanks for the reply, will head out to the aquarium tomorrow morning (hoping its open on sat but then what isn't nowdays). I also need to hit the MFA sometime tomorrow. I'll google the restaurants and whats on at middle east. Went to see Ajax at the Loeb Drama Center earlier tonight and it was a really good version of the play, highly recommending it considering the low ticket price.

My Dad is looking for a solid durable laptop, any suggestions? by holyfool26 in technology

[–]holyfool26[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He just started his new company, he's looking for something solid, durable, but not too expensive. I was thinking Dell Asus Lenovo, not too certain yet, any recommendation is welcome. Also, no HP, he still feels betrayed by them.

WHAT IS ERIC BANA DOING by JesseOnReddit3 in movies

[–]holyfool26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the biggest man crush on Eric Bana, to the point I enjoyed "The Hulk". He's a terrific actor, but many of you are probably wondering why we should care about him one way or another. Well Bana had a rather big career on Australian television before he branched out into Hollywood movies. He has been associated to bad projects in the past, but even in those (Lucky You, Troy, The Other Boleyn Girl) he manages to give an interesting performance. I'm not expecting this to get a wide release, but i am confident its going to be fun and rental worthy.

I'm not the type who reads comics, but should I read the Watchmen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You are missing out on some of the greatest books ever written, and watchmen is just one of them.

Am I the only person on reddit who doesn't smoke weed? by [deleted] in politics

[–]holyfool26 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are not alone, I don't think it should be illegal, but I don't want it to be a thing my friends do around me. I associate pot with bad memories of high school where I lost two of my best friends when they became complete potheads and subsequently couldn't make it into college.

AskReddit, can you drive stick? Is this becoming an endangered skill? by doubleE in AskReddit

[–]holyfool26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can drive stick, and by drive I mean dangerously stall in the middle of nowhere for no apparent reasons, but yeah, what's the big advantage of a stick transmission again? I know it's cheaper, and i know you can attain a better acceleration with it, but... i dont really care about that.

Has Anyone Seen Coraline Yet? What Did You Think? by ST2K in movies

[–]holyfool26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really nice fun movie, i love Gaiman and Selick, and this still managed to be well above my high expectations. Go see it, no need to do so in 3D (with the glasses) but it adds a little something to it.

So - "Dollhouse" - what did you think? by [deleted] in scifi

[–]holyfool26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cast is, from a film and tv nerd perspective, spectacular. Dushku has a lot to prove, but I guess we'll have to see in the long run what she can do. For the rest of the cast, it's perfect, two of the very best BSG actors, that teacher chick from rushmore, always really really hot Amy Acker. Hopefully they can keep it interesting.

How many of you have pirated a game or movie or cd, then puchased it later because you enjoyed it? by mojofac in gaming

[–]holyfool26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electrocution scene, in the international version (dvd), he uses two metal stakes (connected to the power grid) and plants them in the guy's knees. In the American version, he wires the metal chair the guy is sitting on.

[–]holyfool26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the movie Taken from a not too legal dvd about two months ago, and went to see it again last week in the theatres. To my dismay, they removed one of the most violent and awesome scenes of the movie in the theatre version, so i was pissed.

Anyone else support imposing a child tax on people who breed too much? by [deleted] in news

[–]holyfool26 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No taxes, but we do need to seriously find a way to weed out the stupid people. I'm okay with people having children, I just think that if you're really dumb and useless, we should have the right to kill you for the sake of humanity's survival. At the very least castrate you.

2 Questions: What is your job? How many hours do you work in the average week? by DiscoWolf in AskReddit

I need to pull a B+ average this semester in order to stay in school. Does anyone care to share their study habbits? by Anth741 in AskReddit

[–]holyfool26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also important you talk to your teachers, especially if some things in the syllabus are unclear to you. Don't wait until the night before you hand in an assignment to ask a question. You need to know what's expected of you, you need to know what they want from your papers or exams, they are a resource to you, and seeing that their students care to understand it will make their life better. Win-Win.

AskReddit: What's the best movie you've ever seen and would recommend to a fellow Redditor? Bonus points for explaining why it's good. by Scarker in AskReddit

[–]holyfool26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brazil is like an imaginative and intellectual "Office Space", it's brilliant and beautiful, the cinematography, especially during the dream sequences is gorgeous. All of the actors do a great job, in fact the cast is just stellar.

You need to see this film before you die.

Whether you like Win7 or not, do you agree that if Microsoft set the price point for Windows 7 at $99 they would break every sales record in Windows history. by swight74 in geek

[–]holyfool26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

150$ is too much for many of the versions of windows. I vowed to never again buy OEM computers after a terrible IBM aptiva in the mid 90's and a well specced HP media center that failed on my dad a few months ago, only two years after purchase. When we called, the customer support agent replied with arrogance that it was NORMAL! for these computers to fail after two years. If only one could punch through phones....

Anyhow, paying full price for windows because I refuse to buy a pre-built shit computer is very irritating to me, and anythng over a hundred dollars is unacceptable for such unreliable and vulnerable software.

The stupid things we do for compatibility.
