Dances With Wolves In Space

You raise a good point. Cameron's storylines have never been his strong suit. T2, as awesome as it is, is basically an amped-up rehash of the first film. Titanic, while technically a very impressive film, had a plot we'd all seen a million times before.
Somehow, though, he manages to make stories with decent or just so-so plots into great movies.
BTW - I avoided seeing the trailer. Want to go in cold to this one. - August 21, 2009 at 10:10 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
In that case I wont say anything more about the story.
The visuals are probably worth the price of admission. There's a flight scene which is stunning and although the aliens look a bit Jim Hensonish (despite it being CGI) I still was able to buy into it.
Will I be going to see it? Probably yes. This is not a film to watch on DVD. - August 21, 2009 at 10:17 PM

I liked the plot of Titanic. Big unsinkable ship hits iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic and the iceberg sinks the ship? Who could think of such stuff?
I wanted more of the iceberg's POV though. What did it feel about everything? Regret? Sadness? Or is the mindset of glacial sea ice just too strange for us to understand? - August 21, 2009 at 10:23 PM

My take on that cartoon, though, is that Larson was a DWW hater too. I'm sure he was in all the uncool clubs growing up.
What's with this last generation of cartoonists, anyway? Cartoon enough to sell merchandise forever and then just pack it all in? Watterson is another. You wonder what they do with their time. I guess they don't make them like Charles Schultz anymore--the draw until you drop kind. - August 21, 2009 at 11:24 PM
- Brian O'Rourke said...
If Arthur C. Clarke had written the screenplay for Titanic, the iceberg would have been completely indifferent to the ship, as it no doubt would have been there to serve some other purpose entirely unrelated to man.
Sorry, I've been reading a lot of sci-fi recently.
Avatar has a solid cast too. Worthington was great in T4, and Stephen Lang practically stole Public Enemies from Depp and Bale even though he only had fifteen minutes screen time tops. - August 21, 2009 at 11:25 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
No I think he liked DWW. Maybe not so much now. Or maybe he does.
I totally agree you've got to admire Schulz: a bleak, unrelenting dark worldview right to the bitter end of the strip and then a week or two after the last one appears, he dies. Thats the spirit.
I have no idea what Larson or the Calvin and Hobbes guy do with their time. It was like Johnnie Carson after he retired. He ate out a lot, played poker, watched TV. Sounds ghastly. - August 21, 2009 at 11:32 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
Still havent seen T4 but I will. Yeah the main kid was pretty good in the preview. There's this smile thing he does which is in the Apple preview too - its very affecting. I thought the long blue alien chick with the pointy ears was kinda hot too but maybe that's just me.
Cinema is a visual medium but an original story once in a while might be nice too.
Did I ever tell you about the Arthur C Clarke bit I read in Theroux's latest train book? Theroux visits ACC who's rambling a bit and very tired and suddenly he looks over at Theroux and starts telling him about some boy he knew in the War who was killed and then he says to Theroux "he was the only one I ever loved." It was a nice little scene, I hope Theroux didnt make it up. - August 21, 2009 at 11:39 PM
You were really in a cinema when they blew it up? Its like Inglorious Basterds only real.
- August 21, 2009 at 11:43 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
No I wasnt in the cinema when they blew it up. They blew it up about three weeks later when I was nowhere near it.
I was in a different cinema in Belfast once when a major riot broke outside. I was my wife and little brother and we were leaving Mission Impossible (2 I think) and the whole city was on fire and covered with paramilitary roadblocks (guys in ski masks with guns and baseball hats). We had quare old time of it driving home that night. - August 21, 2009 at 11:47 PM

Bomb scares and cinemas. God, I'd forgotten about that -- how it used to be a genuine fear that you'd miss the end of Mrs Doubtfire or something.
gb - August 22, 2009 at 12:25 AM
- Brian O'Rourke said...
I don't remember reading that. Very interesting. There were some wild rumors about ACC liking the little boys too, right? I don't know much about the guy but what I do know is intriguing. - August 22, 2009 at 1:25 AM
- Dana King said...
There's a good, hour-and-a-half Western in DANCES WITH WOLVES, but it's not contiguous within the existing movie. Maybe somoene could make an anti-director's cut some day. That might be worth watching.
One of my favorite Far Side's shows an alligator in a court wutness box, saying, "Of course I did it in cold blood. I'm a reptile."
That's the iceberg's perspective in TITANIC. Watches the ship go down with great loss of life and never flinches. He's cold, man. - August 22, 2009 at 1:49 AM
- Peter Rozovsky said...
Speaking of arboreal societies, I had the tree in front of my house trimmed yesterday. Have I commited an act of war?
I thought the film was ridiculous: hokey, clunky, silly, emotionally retarded, obvious, dull-witted, predictable.
I have often made just that observation on any number of subjects.

I actually know a little bit more about this story than I'm letting on. I have a friend of a friend who grew up in Columbo and used to play snooker with ACC. However its not cool to say things bad things about the recently decesaed and bascially ACC was a good guy. - August 22, 2009 at 8:19 AM
- adrian mckinty said...
I think I would have liked DWW better if they'd stayed with the Civil War. I dont think I've ever seen a good CW movie.
My favourite Larson has to be the woman wheeling the Hoover through the forest and the caption is something like "Marjorie was afraid because she knew that nature abhored a vacuum." - August 22, 2009 at 8:22 AM
- adrian mckinty said...
On someone's blog, possibly Seana's, I was talking about Thomas Hardy and the terrible consequences of fate. There's a bit in the Woodlanders where a neighbour has a rotted tree trimmed for an old man so it doesnt fall on his house and the shock of the naked branches gives the old man a heart attack and he dies. - August 22, 2009 at 8:24 AM
- adrian mckinty said...
Yeah I remember once at Christmas queueing up to see Santa and just when we got close to him there was a bomb scare. Santa ran out of there like he was Usain Bolt. I was not impressed. - August 22, 2009 at 8:26 AM
- Liliana said...
Not the kind of film I'd want to see in a cinema, but the visuals are great.
The plot isn't good, but it can become a widely successful film, since the plot isn't always the most important aspect when it comes to buying a ticket for a film. I liked DWW. Not one of my favourites, but still I liked it. - August 22, 2009 at 9:32 AM
- Brian O'Rourke said...
Yeah, I didn't mean anything by the comment, just that I'd heard rumors. Don't know one way or the other if they were true. From what little I do know of ACC, he seemed like a cool guy. Rendezvous with Rama is still the best sci-fi I've ever read.
I found it interesting when I read somewhere that he was initially not happy with the film version of 2001, and later grew to like it. - August 22, 2009 at 9:43 AM
- adrian mckinty said...
Glad to hear it. I value all opinions here.
I'll tell you one thing about DWW that makes it transcend its artistic qualities was its impact on the Lakota who apparently adopted Costner as an honorary Sioux.
Did you know that Clint Eastwood never shot an Indian in any of his westerns? Apparently he made that a deliberate policy. Interesting guy that Eastwood. - August 22, 2009 at 9:47 AM
- adrian mckinty said...
Yeah lets just leave it there. I'll tell you what I was told when we meet in person.
I love the fact that Clarke who met everyone says that Stanley Kubrick was the smartest person he ever met. I read somewhere that Kubrick used to play chess on set often playing without a queen or a a bishop to give his opponents a chance. - August 22, 2009 at 9:50 AM
- Liliana said...
Eastwood is one of the most interesting guys, both as actor and as director. Untouchable.

- Gregrhi Love said...
Dances With Wolves could not have sucked harder if it tried. Dances With Wolves in Space does not sound any better. Since I wasted my time I'll forewarn you to not waste yours with T4, unless you really liked T3.
I, by no means, meant that to sound so negative. I guess I'm just not much on science fiction or Kevin Costner or other things that suck. - August 22, 2009 at 10:51 AM
- Matt said...
Russell Means (Chingachgook from LOTM) had some very unkind words for Dances with Wolves in his autobiography.
I'll watch Avatar, of course, but mostly for Stephen Lang. Love that guy. I remember a few years back Cameron did a foreword for his main FX guy, who had written a book called 'Worlds: A Voyage of Discovery', a 'photojournal' of an astronaut's exploration of different worlds. Beautiful book - the Avatar trailer reminded me of it quite a bit.
Good civil war movie? Ride With The Devil has grown on me over the years, but isn't Josey Wales a civil war film? If it qualifies, definitely that. Also fond of The Beguiled, directed by Don Siegel, where Eastwood plays against type. God knows I'd rather take a cannonball in the kisser than watch Glory again.
Carson also sent jokes to Letterman right up to the last year of his life, apparently. - August 22, 2009 at 12:28 PM
- Hardbarned said...
First Adrian, I agree with everything you just wrote (with one caveat below), and the first thing I thought when viewing the Avatar trailer tonight for the first time was exactly the title of your blog.
Even though Greg and I currently have a Netflix compatibility rating of 82%, I'll have to disagree with both him and Adrian and agree with Liliana. I like DWW. Can anyone point out some other Hollywood films that have given us much more humanizing and accurate views of Native Americans in Civil War times? Yeah so it's sentimental and most of the whites are caricatures and Costner is over the top with his suicide ride at the beginning and his transformation. I still thought it was a moving film. There. Said it.
OK Greg T4 was better than T3, but that isn't saying much, is it.
I loved T & T2 and Aliens AND The Abyss. Titanic looked kind of cool on the way down.
I think Gary Larson plays jazz guitar in his unlimited free time. Heard it on NPR a while back. I too wish he'd return. - August 22, 2009 at 12:31 PM
- seana said...
Well, I don't know if Eastwood is so untouchable if we're going to talk about rumors. But as I've said somewhere before, he became mayor of Carmel not long after my mom moved down there, and as she was involved in local politics at the time, she saw him in a non celeb kind of situation a few times, and thought him very admirable.
I dunno. Not my type.
I never saw Dances with Wolves, so I really have no business being involved with this discussion. Nor did I see Little Big Man, but I did read the book when I was quite young, and was quite taken with it. So, quite unfairly, I am going to vote for it being the better movie. - August 22, 2009 at 1:57 PM
However its not cool to say things bad things about the recently decesaed
unless they are Michael Jackson? - August 22, 2009 at 5:57 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
He's certainly had one of the most impressive final acts of any actor or director in Hollywood. - August 22, 2009 at 7:18 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
I wasnt impressed with T3. In fact I choose to believe that it doesnt exist like Alien 3 and 4.
I am a little intrigued by the prospect of the Alien prequel to be directly by Ridley Scott, An old pal of mine Brian Evenson, wrote a prequel called Aliens No Exit that I liked and although the movie is coming from another source I think there's a lot of potential out there. - August 22, 2009 at 7:22 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
What was Russell's problem? Was it the scenario or was it Costner or was it both?
Thats the thing about Avatar, we're all going to see it. I just hope Harry Knowles etc. dont tell us its genius when it isnt. Though it might be. - August 22, 2009 at 7:24 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
oh yeah I remember that. every time Letterman would do one of Carson's jokes he would make a little golf swing... - August 22, 2009 at 7:24 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
I forgot about the Abyss. Speaking of Costner, what's her name with the curly hair was hot in that. (the Abyss I mean).
I think my main problem with DWW was tedium. And maybe the evil Indians who wore black feathers in their hair.
Larson plays Jazz eh? I'm surprised but not shocked. I wonder if he ever doodles at all or has just jacked that whole thing in completely. I know that after Rimbaud gave up poetry he spent the next ten years deliberately not writing. - August 22, 2009 at 7:29 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
Little Big Man is a good film. Hoffman's good and the whole Battle of the Little Big Horn scene is fantastic. And the ending is perfect.
I also liked Faye Dunnaway's cameo. I think you'd like it.
Eastwood seems more of a Libertarian than someone who would feel comfortable with the current GOP. - August 22, 2009 at 7:30 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
Well if its funny anything goes. I just cant think of anything funny about ACC and his, er, activities around the snooker table.
Did you ever read Childhood's End? He wrote it, if I recall correctly on the ship from London to Columbo, which is why we should all travel by ships and planes not trains and be drunk like Nick and Nora. - August 22, 2009 at 7:33 PM
- Brian O'Rourke said...
I just finished Childhood's End last week and enjoyed it. Good book.
Eastwood is the man. I got a kick out of the way he responded to Spike Lee's idiotic comments about Flags of Our Fathers. - August 22, 2009 at 8:35 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
No I meant that we should travel by ships and trains, not bloody planes. I still love train travel to this day, especially sleepers. - August 22, 2009 at 10:24 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
It was good wasn't it? I liked the strangeness of it.
I'll be honest I didnt follow that whole Spike Lee - Eastwood contrafab, but I do think its interesting that more US soldiers and marines died on that one tiny little island (Iwo Jima) than Gulf War 1, The Iraq War and Afghanistan combined. It just must have been utter hell. - August 22, 2009 at 10:28 PM
- seana said...
Carson writing jokes for Letterman sounds like a good way to go out. And Larson playing jazz guitar, well, there's nothing wrong with that. It's funny that it's easier for me to understand why writers stop writing than why cartoonists stop cartooning.
I love trains. Even taking the commuter train from San Jose to San Francisco is a pleasure. Amtrak could be so much better than it is, servicewise. But that ride going east over first the Sierras and then the Rockies is just fantastic. - August 22, 2009 at 11:36 PM
- Peter Rozovsky said...
I would cheerfully take the train rather than the plane to Europe if I could. Flying is like going to the dentist, though the dentist will usually get you in and out of the chair reasonably close to on time.
There is so much to do and see on planes. You can squirm past your seatmates' knees. You can contemplate the condensation between the windows. You can choose from a wide range of entertainment options. You can enjoy the easy-going conversational genuineness of the crew. You can relax in spacious lounges while you wait to use the commodious lavatories.

I'm pretty much of the school of thought that the worst train journey is still better than the equivalent flight. I once took the Amtrak from Chicago to New Orleans, it was 22 hours, there was no sleeper, but I'd do it again especially if I had to fly out of Midway. - August 23, 2009 at 8:12 AM
- adrian mckinty said...
Yes I took that train once. OK it starts in Oakland which isnt so wonderful, but the journey to Denver is very pleasant indeed.
Did you ever have Amtrak's French Toast? They do very good French toast. - August 23, 2009 at 8:14 AM

Me also worry, me thinky mistakey have all CGI cast, me thinky it seem good idea in 1999 but maybe not nowee. We see. - August 23, 2009 at 8:15 AM

We are graduates of the same school. A train journey begins with a thrilling lurch into motion. A plane journey begins with the slightly nauseating whiff of filtered, pressurized air.

Plane travel is also much more dislocating.
I never had Amtrak French toast, which is a shame. In fact, once when I was coming cross country back from the East coast, the morning began with a conductor coming through and asking. "Is there a doctor on the train?" Apparently there had been a kitchen fire overnight and someone had suffered minor burns. No breakfast that day, needless to say.
Adrian, you might just want to contact George Lucas and offer your services as a dialogue consultant. I have a feeling he would think you had a gift for it... - August 23, 2009 at 10:14 AM
- adrian mckinty said...
And you can walk the whole length of a train and get a good walk. You cant do that on a plane. On the Denver to Oakland train they also have an observation car with windows all around that you can open which is worth it going through the Rockies. - August 23, 2009 at 10:37 PM

I suppose if you're a doctor you can never really take a vacation, unless you're prepared to lie.
I've never studied medicine but I've seen so many babies delivered on TV and two in real life I think I could assist with that. - August 23, 2009 at 10:41 PM

When I was in high school, I got certified as a senior lifesaver for some reason that I do not totally understand now. Not long after, I was hanging out with my friends at a nearby lake and saw a couple of kids having trouble just a few yards out. There was no official lifeguard around so I realized that somehow this was now all on me. All I actually had to do was walk out to where they were and ask, "Do you need help?" and have them say yes and pull one of them back in, but it made me realize that relaxing by the pool was never going to be the same again.
Those observation cars are cool. But even going across the Great Plains in one of those regular cars is pretty thrilling. It's been a long time since I took that trip, but at least as I remember it, there were long stretches that were completely uninhabited and really put you in touch with the timeless aspect of the place. - August 24, 2009 at 1:16 AM
An old pal of mine Brian Evenson, wrote a prequel called Aliens No Exit
I've heard nothing but good about him - expecially Last Days and The Wavering Knife. He's on my "to watch out for" list. Btw, have you read Inherent Vice yet?
Did you ever read Childhood's End?
Yes. But to tell you the truth, I think it's far from the best novel in the "human uplift" genre.
Thats the thing about Avatar, we're all going to see it.
I won't.
I also generally prefer trains , but I've made some long trips in sweltering heat and packed as a sardine which were a close approximation of hell.
In other news, some guy in a village 15 km from my own has just won the biggest jackpot in European History . - August 24, 2009 at 5:45 AM
- Peter Rozovsky said...
Marco's note is a refreshing antidote to sentimentality about trains. I once was stranded in Chicago by a snowstorm. Amtrak paid to put me up in a hotel room. That was fun. The next day's delayed departure, with two nights' worth of ticketholders on one train (and, as a result, no sleeper berth for me) was not.
And the train trip I wrote about here was no picnic either, though a good deal shorter.

I dont know, I've had some bad train journeys too - I was once on a train abandoned by the crew between Greece and Turkey for 30 hours - but at least they dont make you stay seabelted in and at least there's not the fear of death. - August 24, 2009 at 7:49 AM
- seana said...
I suppose I would have saved that little kid anyway. But I wouldn't have spent the rest of the afternoon thinking about how I was now obligated to save everyone else who had wandered out beyond their skill level.
If you ever feel called upon to save anyone from drowning, by the way, don't just go out and grab them, because in their panic they will end up drowning you with them. When you are about six or eight feet away, dive under the surface and sneak up on them from underneath, grab their legs and crawl up their body, putting your arms around them so that their arms are pinioned to their body. Then you can do a kind of one handed sidestroke to pull them into shore.
Even when it's fake, it's kind of scary. And actually I had to practice on someone who didn't know the safe code, so as a result, she almost drowned me. Okay, probably she would have given up on trying to drown me before it actually happened, but I did get some slight sense of what it would be like if you screwed up. - August 24, 2009 at 11:28 AM

I detested "Dances with Kevin" only slightly less than "Kevin's World" (Water World).
And considering all the intriguing real-life Titanic stories that Cameron could have drawn from, I'll never, EVER understand why he used a made-up, sophomoric, and farfetched romance as the central theme of the movie. The only thing that nauseated me more was Cameron's acceptance speech at the Oscars, where he asked for a moment of silence for the people on the Titanic who died almost a hundred years ago (a far better tribute would have been a story-line that wasn't contrived and lame). - August 25, 2009 at 7:57 AM

I think I could save a kid, but I agree I think a grown up might drown me. I suppose I'd feel obligated to attempt it though anyway. - August 25, 2009 at 8:21 AM

Did you ever see A Night To Remember?
I really enjoyed that film when it used to be on the BBC during the 1970's. And I think it was largely a true depiction of the actual events surrounding the Titanic's demise.
One thing that annoyed me about JC's version was the bit where Thomas Andrews speaks to Kate Winslet in a Dublin accent - the guy was born and bred in Belfast, why oh why would he be talking with a Dublin (actually more of a generic Hollywood Irish) accent? - August 25, 2009 at 8:26 AM
- HoldenCaufield said...
"A Night to Remember" is way more to my liking.
I didn't pick up on the made-up Irish accent but I got annoyed when Leonardo DiCaprio shows Kate Winslett how to "hawk a loogey." Granted, I wasn't around in 1912, but I don't believe "loogey-hawking" was part of the English lexicon during that era. - August 25, 2009 at 8:54 AM
- seana said...
I doubt very much whether he would have thought to show her how to hawk a loogie either, enchanting though she must have found it.
But wasn't the whole point of the movie just to show off their painstaking re-creation of the ship? That's the only reason any guy I ever knew allowed himself to be drawn to it.
I actually wrote 'drowned' to it first, which is kind of funny, in a tragicomic sort of way... - August 25, 2009 at 9:21 AM
- HoldenCaufield said...
Seana -- Definitely the best part of the movie is the re-creation of the ship and the video of the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean. I just wish the human story had been created with as much care.
Joan Rivers said that if Kate Winslett weighed just 5 pounds lighter, Leonardo DiCaprio would still be with us today… - August 25, 2009 at 9:55 AM
- seana said...
That Joan. I have to say, though, that the whole women and children first thing has never made a whole lot of sense to me. Children, yes, but even Noah had that directive about the male and the female of each kind getting on the ark. It only makes sense. Of course, it would be hard to sort all this stuff out as the ship was sinking. You wouldn't want to try to reach a consensus, for example.
I learned an interesting thing about an old theater teacher of mine tonight. She had come to discuss Shakespeare Santa Cruz at our weekly discussion group and one of the members, a man in his eighties, told me that when the Loma Prieta earthquake hit here in 1989, he happened to be attending a class of hers. He said that she looked at the glass windows shaking and told the class to go out to the picnic tables, where she immediately started up the class again. Having been in that earthquake, I found this quite impressive, as apparently the earth of our charming pastoral campus was rolling like the sea. When I asked her about this, she said that she noticed some of the students, who had never been in an earthquake before, were ashen-faced, so she thought it might be best to just continue the class a bit, till they, and the earth, calmed down. She then said, I was in London during the Blitz, and there were dogfights over my head. I must say, earthquakes don't impress me.
I take her point, but having been downtown during it where buildings fell down, and people died, etc., I have to admit to being just a little bit impressed. - August 25, 2009 at 1:08 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
I found A Night To Remember A Lot More believable, but come on, Kate Winslet's pretty hot.
Did you see Beautiful Creatures? - August 25, 2009 at 10:18 PM

Cycling proficiency taste for Woolston pupils
2:33pm Thursday 5th April 2012 in News
Instructor Maurice Leslie with year five pupils Nicole Littlemore and Nathan Shearer DGN220312
IT was like learning to ride a bike for children at Woolston Community Primary School when they got a taster of cycling proficiency.
The pupils were given lessons in road safety and tips for staying in the saddle, before riding the bikes in neighbourhoods next to the school on Hall Road.

Chrome Web Tools
Is there a tool for Google Chrome that allows developers to see where divs are etc...
If you mean like outlining them on a page, then I'm not aware of anything like that.
Most of us just use Chrome Developer Tools (F12) and view the source. When you 'hover' over the code it shows you where the element is and gives you the relevant information.
You mean Developer Tools that's built in?
Cool bookmarklet I use... besides other dev tools
If you're developing a site and just want to outline everything, just add;
* { outline: 1px solid red; }
To your CSS. Job done.
What @andy_unleash mentioned is super useful tip for developing.
Personally I use a different approach.
* { background: rgba(0,0,0,0.1) !important; }
Which provides a nice little subtle background which helps locate overlaps and is really good for troubleshooting margin/padding issues (also finding redundancies, refactoring others work).
You can then modify the CSS depending on what you were working on, lets say you only wanted to find divs.
div { background: rgba(0,0,0,0.1) !important; }
And if you see really dark colors (overlapping bg colors), you may have a case of divitus.

I used to be into PC gaming in late 90s and early to mid 2000s. Since consoles have finally upped their online efforts though the simplicity of console gaming has made me forget about the PC.
What I probably miss most is the communities, on various games communities would be built around a dedicated server, you'd get to know the regulars and admins would smite the troublemakers with banhammers. You just don't get this on consoles, no servers to build a community around, no admins to keep the games fair and fun. Just random people constantly and a good half of them are asses. There are so few games that have large player counts also since few companies want to even give an option for dedicated servers or even chat lobbies and go the blind matchmaking P2P route.

Rodney Dangerfield didn't get no respect/does comedian/actor Adam Sandler deserve any? Everything is a matter of taste I guess.
he gets on my nerves
Rodney Dangerfield didn't get no respect/does comedian/actor Adam Sandler deserve any? Everything is a matter of taste I guess.
Maybe I'm being a bit judgemental, but the bits n' pieces of his movies I've seen, I found him very unfunny.
It's not really an easy poll to answer. He's not funny but he does seem to have a character that at least Paul Thomas Anderson was able to channel into something constructive in Punch Drunk Love
Does Adam Sandler get my respect? He was able to find a way to play to his strengths and turn that into a very successful, very well paying career. So yes.
Do I like Sandler movies? No -- even the "old stuff" that people love, like Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore kinda just annoy me. The newer stuff is horrid.
Do I like Adam Sandler? Well, I've never met him, so I don't know. He seems like he'd be too high strung for me, I prefer to be around people that are more laid back. Though the zany sense of humor would fit my odd sense of humor. Still, he's a celebrity. I have no idea what he's like as a person who isn't putting on an act.
I thought he was at his best on SNL and I didn't like his stuff then.
He gets on my nerves.
But; someone getting on someone else's nerves does not imply respect or not. It's just a personality clash.
I respect that he's been able to make a successful career for himself and not end up in the news like those other celebrities that get on my nerves.
Depends on what he tries to do. He's a poor slapstick comedian. But I really enjoyed him in the remake of The Longest Yard, and that movie he made with Drew Barrymore was pretty good.

Get up, a get-get, get down.
A bit of Sandler goes a long way. I have liked a couple of his films, especially The Wedding Singer (and Drew Barrymore!). But (supposedly) he admitted he "toned things down" for his role in that film ... which is probably why it's one of his more well-liked.
I do remember him as "Opera Man" on SNL, and one time shrilly singing "Mascara! Mascara!" and pouring watery black ink from his lower eyelids with a photo of Tammy Faye Bakker in the background.
Otherwise, he's definitely not the first comedian who comes to mind on my "like list" by a longshot.
He can do a good job in some roles (eg, 50 First Dates) when he controls himself. But, in most roles I've seen, he goes way too far. I think that's the way the part is written, but he takes it even farther.
For that, I place him with Will Ferrell. Both men can actually act, but they just can't control themselves long enough / often enough. They're too much into playing That Character They've Developed.
(Sandler's Hannukah song is very entertaining.)
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by ignorance or stupidity.

I would agree they are similar, and with both of them I've wondered if they can only play that character, or have chosen to only play that character. I'm honestly not sure (nor do I care all that much). If I had to guess, I'd say Ferrell is a slightly better actor with slightly more range than Sandler.
I find the Ferrell character mildly amusing, for short periods of time, and in certain movies. I find the Sandler character pretty much just annoying, even back to the SNL days.
I'd say it is mildly entertaining. Hearing it about once a year is more than enough. It is just a list of famous Jews and really isn't all the clever, even as satire. I'd say it is just about the pinnacle of Sandler's brilliant commentary on life and everything .(Sandler's Hannukah song is very entertaining.)
he was pretty moderately ok in Funny People where he got to play a slightly different character than normal..
I was informed there was an election here, and I needed to vote. So I did.
I don't find him amusing. I tend to expect a certain level of clever in humor if it is to capture my attention. So I prefer Airplane to Police Academy.
Adam Sandler lacks any range as a performer, in my view. The characters he did on SNL all sounded the same, he did the same facial experessions and used the same vocal inflection for most of them. Utterly formula, utterly predictable humor.
I may be in the minority, but I think part of the problem with Sandler is that he's been pigeonholed as a comedian while actually being more talented as an actor but without having had much of a chance to show it.
Reductionist and proud of it.

Henrik ol' bean, your statement would carry more weight if Mr. Sandler himself didn't think he was a comdedian. Sort of kills that whole "pigeonholing" concept.
No, what says it best was the fake movie poster for that film where he plays his own twin sister:
Adam Sandler, now he's just "mucking" with us!
Seriously I honestly think Mr. Sandler is pulling what some said was Caligula's motivation for doing his deeds.
Just to see what people will put up with before they call him on it.
People are entirely capable of pigeonholing themselves too.
That he himself believes he's a comedian doesn't make it more true.
Reductionist and proud of it.

Oh yeah?!
(That's all I got.)
I don't watch movies and thus have never seen Mr. Sandler in one. I've seen lots of clips on TV, none of which seemed to be too impressive. I do, however remember a reviewer saying something to the effect of:
Adam Sandler can be a pretty good actor...as long as he's not in an Adam Sandler movie.
Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscript catapultas habebunt.
Is there any way to answer the poll with both the second and third options?
STARGAZING: All I see are the lights of a billion places I'll never go. --Howard Tayler, Schlock Mercenary
Someone writes a "good" script just for Adam Sandler, ....well yes, we would see him in a better light. He certainly has talent and a work ethic. He's come a long ways from his days on MTV's 'Remote Control' . (The early years) .
Just today I read a bit of commentary about how Adam Sandler has stimulated reviewers to the highest creativity in their criticism of his movies. It has me wondering, whose movies are worse: Adam Sandler's or Pauly Shore's? Hmmm ... .
Oh, but the kids love him!
You see..... the kids subconciously want to stay kids, and when they see Sandler in action, it gives that subconcious
a little hope that they won't grow up to be stuffed shirts. They hide those feelings, but that's what drives their sense of
'funny' and tickles the rebelious side of their subconcious ego. That's why we like Bill Murray. You can still see the little kid inside there.
Yea, but Bill Murray is still funny. Is that because he was my "coming of age" Adam Sandler, because he was in the right time and place for me? Or maybe I relate better to Murray's kid-ness than to a little mini-Sandler that makes me want to drop-kick him off of my lawn.
The biggest problem I have with Adam Sandler's movies is that he's essentially a sketch comedian doing a 90 minute bit. I've seen him in things I've liked, but those have all been things where he's more "normal" as opposed to a character that needed a stupid voice to carry it.
I think the same thing about Will Farrel. he can be good, he just chooses not to be. Actually, the following people all have one thing in common:
Adam Sandler
Ben Stiller
Jack Black
Will Farrel
Pauly Shore
And even the late Rodney Dangerfield.
They could all be really good as long as their name wasn't at the top of the movie poster. If any of them had control of the movie, it went bad fast.
Adam Sandler does have a few songs I really like.
As for respect? He gets in front of the world and does things to make most of the world ridicule him. Then he does it again. I doubt he's too stupid to understand the criticism, so he's probably strong enough to take it. I also don't recall him ever being hospitalized for "exhaustion" like a lot of other celebs that get on my nerves. If he can do what he does and stay scandal free, I'd say that deserves some respect, even it's not for his craft (such as it is).
I don't think I'd want to be at a party with him though.
I'm Not Evil.
An evil person would do the things that pop into my head.
You know what, I've just realized that I've had a couple of neurons crossed this entire thread.
Everything I've said was about Ben Stiller, not Adam Sandler.

Richfield Considers Building $1 Million Bandshell
Is one million dollars to much to spend on a bandshell??? Richfield held a public meeting Thursday night to try and find the answer.
The city is considering building the bandshell in Veterans Memorial Park. Some believe it would bring better concerts to the city, but others say the building would be a big waste of money. Richfield would put in $250,000 from liquor store proceeds, the rest would be raised privately.
The city is conducting a study to find out if there's interest in the project. A decision could be made sometime next year.

It's more than just alliteration; it's a statement, a proclamation that Thursdays are when the weekend should really start. Kicking it off right is the key, and what better way than with a cocktail that not only takes the edge off, but tastes good too.
Last week we shared a recipe for a A Beer and a Ball; this week we're teaming up with Wine Director Anjoleena Griffin-Holst of the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa to get you ready for the Super Bowl with not one, two or three… but four new drink recipes inspired by Sunday's showdown.
Starting with a variation on the classic Manhattan cocktail, a blueberry garnish and splash of vermouth help round off The Big Blue, an ode to the Giants franchise and their decorated history. Or opt for The Manning Special instead, inspired by the Giant's quarterback and his cool, calm and collected demeanor. If you're rooting for the Patriots, try The Brady Bomb, an explosive and game-changing cocktail made with cherry vodka, Red Bull energy drink and grenadine syrup, or go for The Gronk, named after their prolific tight end and towering with tequila, white creme de cacao, blue curacao and cream.
So make your picks and pour your drinks. It'll be hard to go wrong with these tasty sips — especially if you give in and go for all four. Bottoms up, folks.
Big Blue (NY Giants-inspired cocktail)

2 oz rye whiskey
1/2 oz sweet vermouth
2-3 dashes bitters
Fresh blueberries for garnish
Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass with ice cubes. Stir well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with blueberries
Manning Special (NY Giants-inspired cocktail)

1/4 cup fresh blueberries
1 small lime wedge
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 ounces gin
1/2 oz grenadine
2 oz chilled club soda
Muddle 15 blueberries with the lime wedge and sugar. Add the gin and ice and shake well. Strain into a highball glass half-filled with ice, top with the club soda and grenadine, and garnish with the remaining blueberries.
Brady Bomb (NE Patriots-inspired cocktail)

1 oz cherry vodka
3 oz Red Bull energy drink
1 splash grenadine syrup
Pour vodka and Red Bull energy drink into a small glass. Add grenadine slowly so it sinks to the bottom without mixing for a layered effect.
The Gronk (NE Patriots-inspired cocktail)

VDOT to Advertise $1.1B in Road Projects
Governor Bob McDonnell today announced that the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will advertise an estimated $1.1 billion in construction and maintenance projects during the first six months of Fiscal Year 2011. The estimated economic impact of the work is 33,900 jobs created or supported, as well as $2.83 billion in economic activity and $282.5 million in taxes that will come back to the state.
"After taking office, I directed VDOT to start authorizing and advertising projects in a more timely and efficient manner, in order to get much needed road projects underway, and traffic moving again," McDonnell said. "In just six months, the agency will have advertised $1.1 billion – half of its annual budget. This will have a positive impact on Virginia's infrastructure and economy. For every $100 million spent on highway maintenance, it is estimated 3,000 jobs are created or supported. By working hard to ensure that VDOT invests all available transportation resources as soon as they become available, and in a manner that has the most benefit to motorists traveling throughout the state, we will greatly improve our transportation system and spur economic growth." The agency has advertised more than 350 projects in the past six months and advertised more than $500 million in work during December, Secretary of Transportation Sean Connaughton said. State officials cited studies published by the Federal Highway Administration and the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials, which showed that every $100 million spent on highway construction and maintenance projects adds 3,000 jobs created or supported, $250 million in economic activity and $25 million in taxes that go back to Virginia coffers. |

Wisdom Beyond Words
Sense and Non-Sense in the Buddhist Prajnaparamita Tradition
By Sangharakshita
Dangerously disorientating to the unwary student, the Prajnaparamita or Perfection of Wisdom teachings can offer a fast route to some well-trodden blind alleys - or to the very heart of Reality.
Sangharakshita's clarity, scholarship and insight are revealed in this commentary on the Diamond Sutra, the Heart Sutra, and the Ratnagunasamcayagatha - core teachings of Mahayana Buddhism. Using this book as a guide we can begin our own investigation of these sublime teachings - and also perhaps be rewarded with a world-shattering glimpse of the Buddhist vision of ultimate Reality.

Motion Blur Possible With jQuery?!
I'm currently working on a one-page website with links that scroll up/down on the page it already uses a smooth scrolling plugin but I also want to add a little motion blur effect.. I've heard this is possible with jQuery but I can't find any plugins that do this, please help!
Hi- My initial impression when reading this is that it is pretty much impossible to do this sort of thing with jQuery alone, as you are just positioning elements on the page, and animating their position by injecting CSS rules via javascript using jQuery.
However, with a quick google search I was able to locate this post on StackOverflow.
It would appear from what people are saying, that there are other ways of accomplishing this task without the use of jQuery alone, because as I said before, jQuery isn't really capable of doing something like that. The first method I've seen is to switch out the elements with blurred copies when animating, but that can be a little tedious. The second thing people are auggesting is blurring using the HTML5 canvas, as per this article.
As for accomplishing this sort of thing with links, it might be more challenging, but you might be able to accomplish the effect with replicating CSS3
on the linked items varying levels of transparency to simulate motion blur samples.Also, be advised that all of what's discussed above is very new tech and is likely to not work across all browsers, espacilly those that aren't current releases.
Hope this is a good start to approaching this problem.
MooTools can do this with it's Transition effect.

A Griswold woman is facing 100 days in prison after pleading guilty to beating a 4-year-old girl in her care in January.
The city has pledged financial support for the Norwich Community Development Corp. for the next five years, with the agency eligible for $150,000 annually to help advance its efforts to bolster the local economy.
A Ledyard woman accused of teaming up with her husband to bilk a Montville woman out of $45,000 goes on trial starting May 29.
Christine M. Rockledge has written and published one history book on the former Norwich State Hospital, but she's not resting, even though she's pregnant with twins. Rockledge, a Preston Historical Society researcher and lecturer, is working a second one that she calls her "big book." At the same time, she's on a lecture tour across New London County, discussing her current book, connecting with more former hospital employees and their relatives and building support for a museum that she hopes to see located in the former hospital's Administration Building. (Her next appearance is set for 6:30 p.m. June 10 at Waterford Public Library.) The "family feeling" of former Norwich Hospital workers is the most consistent thing encountered in more than 50 interviews Rockledge has conducted so far, she says.
A play on the basepaths in the top of the fifth inning of a tie game resulted in a key out and shifted the momentum to the Warriors, who took advantage by scoring three runs in the bottom of the inning to walk away with a 4-1 win in the Constitution State Conference quarterfinal game.
Save the date! Our next Bulletin and Norwich Magazine event will take place 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., June 28 at the Holiday
Inn in Norwich.
Bring your friends, co-workers, moms and sisters! We are hosting a Ladies Night Out, which will feature demonstrations, shopping, food, tastings and much more!

Ever become so obsessed with something that it's all you talk about to your friends and family? An obsession with mind altering substances and experimental states of consciousness drove apart psychologist Edward Jessup's marriage. The obsession even caused a close friend of Jessup's to question the psychologist's mental stability.
