Age Of Empires 2 Multiplayer Lan Cdrom




TS has everything planned for the trip to Universal studios in Florida where he presumably asked Brandi's hand , his girlfriend. Just as the robotic shark spilgberiano popular water jump with their jaws open. One of the most romantic ideas I've heard in my life. However, Brandi can not fulfill its commitment, it has to replace the girl participating in the competition that his father directed TV that afternoon. The original participant died last night doing laps in the pool. A TS occurred to him to comment that the TV cameras fat ten kilos and, apparently, the poor suffered from a terrible weight problem in childhood. Of course, TS does not make no fucking grace that the father of his girlfriend off the hook and disrupt their expected weekend in Florida. Brandi, tired of selfishness TS, decides to send him to hell. Poor TS, no trip to Florida and no girlfriend.


The problem with René Brodie, her partner, is totally different. Brodie is, quite simply, the opposite of the romance. Do not think of anything else in comics, video games and scratch his belly. Many of you will wonder what's wrong with that. Well friends, I tell you one thing ... most of the girls do not like. Sometimes, they like to do things more than girls. So Brodie, like his best friend TS, stays broken that morning, without girlfriend and a list of reasons far from encouraging where René explains the reasons for its decision. A male goat no Brodie amused that he attack his masculinity.



Once the two together can not think of anything else to spend the day in the temple of leisure and pleasure, the mall. They are Mallrats, mall rats. Teen unmotivated, lazy and nothing better to do than go around touching the balls of those who nearly spend as much time at the mall like them, those who work there. In an unforgettable evening, a couple of players try to straighten out their romantic relationships in preferred leisure destination by Western adolescent. The mall, the social center, a temple of consumerism, where you can buy a comic book, something to eat, going to movies, attend a live TV program or, without more, spend the afternoon with your fellow pigeon pea.


Mallrats was the second film by Kevin Smith and that factor was one of the biggest problems that was the first studio film director these days monograph in 2073 . After Clerks, American indie cinema milestone of 90, critics and fans expected to see in the Pulp Fiction Mallrats of Kevin Smith. Unlike that their classmate Tarantino for Smith his second film was a stumble in his career. For Mallrats is basically fun, jokes puzzle set in the mall, fun teacher pillar of Yankee girl. A desktop film or night with nothing better to do to throw a laugh in the company of colleagues and, if any, of any doping substance. Mallrats is essentially a cinematic monument to the kind of characters he portrays. A film without any ambition. Or with the sole ambition of making people laugh (which already has merit if it is achieved).


Production Universal studies was the other big problem that Smith had to deal. The director had never worked with the demands of a production, on the other hand, was willing to invest six million dollars in the project (250 times the budget of his self-produced Clerks). To "try to reach as many people as possible," Smith had to reduce the number of fucks and lower the tone of impropriety that surrounded the script. In addition to fighting tooth and nail to retain the involvement of his friend and artistic partner Jason Mewes (Jay of Jay and Silent Bob). Universal did not understand the need to get a chum without credentials far from politically correct. Smith had to pay allowances to his colleague until the producer finally relenting. His audience would never have understood that he had replaced his "better half hetero" by any other actor.

The film was a flop. His first night was screened in 650 theaters and billed $ 450,000 . The diagnosis was a total loss.



tribute to the wonderful presentation covers of comic book superheroes, the participation of the brilliant and completely unknown at the time Jason Lee or funny tribute to end of American Graffiti at the rate of of Weezer Susanne are some of the most favorable in that I can think for those who saw the movie and felt a pain. A server was quite the thing he finds grace and quite educational. Among other things, teaches us how uncomfortable it is to fuck in the back of a Volkswagen . Also, in my opinion, the script works perfectly for what purports to be: a funny teen movie. Are the good, the bad, the colleagues of the good, the girls, setting, and the typical characters who seem interchangeable, but they play a role important in the outcome. As stated by Mr. Horrorscope in the comments first post on the films of Kevin Smith, the movie will soon, if not, outdated, but I do not think that I'm tired of seeing her. By the way, I am not able to see the fucking sailboat.

Where Can I Find A Glory Hole On Long Island

Terror Who has not chased Amy?


Chasing Amy (Chasing Amy in English) is probably the best film Kevin Smith . Surely, although it sounds a cliché, is so far the most mature of all his movies. After the critical and commercial failure, which resulted Mallrats, movie you talk about is the next post in this review, Smith wanted to postpone the project for Dogma had already written the script from the time of Clerks, but that still did not feel ready to shoot (pasta needed for special effects).

After the success which led to the criticism his modest debut film (Clerks cost $ 27,000) and the complete failure of Mallrats (his first "production" use, with a budget of six million), Smith returned to his roots Saver . In a spectacular show of economy of means, was plucked from a beautiful love story that got rolling with a $ 250,000 budget , a paltry figure for any American director with two films on his back. Thus, his films had already gone through all the phases. The consensus that elevated dramatically as cult film Clerks, Mallrats the debacle. That fact left a field of action much more open than you had counted on his second film. In his own words, could not say anything worse than what had been said of Mallrats, and do not expect anything from him. At last I could do what he pleased without waiting for any reaction.


The result was surprising. In his usual pattern film, the nuevajerseytarra put this time in the foreground the love story. This time much less flat, much less a teenager. In fact, Chasing Amy recounts a romance full of edges, nothing to do with the use of romantic comedies. Smith began a few years over his prototypical mental couple male leads. The Ben Affleck infumable (which surely Smith gave the highlights of his career with this film for which, incidentally, dropped considerably cache) and Jason Lee (repeating the role of friend, and charlatan irreverent Mallrats) are respectively Holden McNeil and Banky Edwards , concocted of comic books and Chronic Bluntman , none other than Jay and Bob converted into two-dimensional superheroes potheads.




the couple's friendship will be tested when Holden falls for idiosyncratic routine cartoonist Alyssa Jones . Miss Jones is played by the beautiful and Joey Lauren Adams semidesconocida , blonde and beautiful blue eyes that may not fit within the rigid standards of beauty imposed by the establishment made in USA. She will be the Yoko Ono these Lennon and McCartney of underground comics. First, Banky feel jealous to see endanger their monopoly Holden sentimental when he starts to show signs of interest in the girl. Second, the factor that will scare the Alyssa is a lesbian character played by Lee, certain touches homophobic and somewhat shortsighted. Further, Holden himself feel embarrassed by the fact that his girl has experienced sexual pathways that he believed only the films themselves sluts that envisions with his buddy on Friday night.

sentimental
With this trio, Kevin Smith inquire into the true nature of love (that anyone can determine for sure much to the moral and society to endeavor to agree), their obstacles and prejudices that many sometimes arouses among those they love. And also on sex, as mundane or simple pleasure as a way to show love in return. Chasing Amy talks about the limits of romantic relationships, its paradoxes and difficulties. Also of friendship and its inconsistencies. Speak in short, love and life, with an aplomb, honesty and serenity of American cinema improper. It's a film that bares feelings to a lack of bias Hats off worthy. In my humble opinion, the most sincere contemporary romantic comedy, discouraged and revealing to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind .

As backdrop, how could it be otherwise, the View Askew universe : conversations about comics, pop culture and junk culture, the cronies of the actor doing his cameos of rigor, tits and ass jokes The guest appearance of Jay and Silent Bob, much more restrained than the rest of his films and, of course, New Jersey . Do not miss, of course, this superb post of Eki Films (And more) , an entire city tour across the bridge that is portrayed in this film.

IV: New Jersey

While many in Spain have already seen Clerks 2 in the British Isles the general public can not enjoy the sequel to the debut of Kevin Smith big screen until Friday. That is why, in this countdown, you will note at this blog of opinions touched, the top three films the director of New Jersey a server has seen to date. Starting with the most contemporary of the three Chasing Amy (whose post I hope to fall soon) to Clerks, the cornerstone on which Smith began building his film universe. But before I leave you with a brief introduction.

These days Kevin Smith is accused of having box. After the resounding failure of his penultimate film, Jersey Girl , which attempted to minimize possible minute Online Jennifer Lopez to avoid commercial failure (it had just broken up with Ben Affleck, who stars in the same movie), Smith has attempted to return to their roots with Clerks 2, the penultimate twist to his personal universe postadolescents afraid to grow. Before you know first hand if Clerks 2 lives up to its prequel, which I doubt since I learned of its existence, the questions are inevitable. Do you have the famous Kevin Smith Resines syndrome? Are you trying to become a Woody Allen generation x? Do you have run out of ideas? Clerks 2 Is it a mere attempt to raise cash? Can you be original by making the same movie over and over again?

try in the next post answer some of these questions with his indispensable help, before going to the cinema to see the latest sign of American talent. But before engaging in work and in case one goes missing, drawn with broad strokes the paradigm Smith to make movies. plagiarizing Mr. Spaulding , here is the recipe for yourself make their own movie by Kevin Smith .

is needed, first, a couple of young actors as protagonists. One of them, the principal, must be rational but unsure. The secondary, preferably played by Jason Lee should be the couple's funny and ultimately the most charismatic of the two. His sense of humor is based on its impudence and irreverence. The two must be twenty types reluctantly take on the conventionality of adult life and it is important that they are comic book fans, science fiction movies, television series Canadian hockey games and other reasons wankers. Their talks will focus on these unhealthy hobbies and to a lesser extent, in the uncertain future that are moving their miserable lives. It is essential also to include a couple of scatological stories in which a relative or friend of the main characters have committed some kind of sexual aberration. The dialogues, of course, must take all the footage. There should be not a minute of silence.

The love story is necessary. Therefore we need the girl or girls, preferably on paper Jr High. Further, the secondary field will complete a bunch of smart-ass geeks who love superheroes, joints, porn, the Star Wars jokes and tits, ass, fart and dick. Among these can not miss Jay and Bob, the parodic couple of friends made by the director (smoker, with a beard, hat and black trench coat back) and a buddy from childhood to play himself (verbose smoker obsessed with sex joints). The second locuaciadad will be offset by the silence of the first, that only break his silence to say something intelligent, lapidary or falls by its own weight in the final stretch of the film.

has also been attempting to connect to as many friends as possible to play characters of those who released a couple of lines. Some of these, being able to take the leading role, are stars of the first Hollywood firmament lower their cache and everything to do you a favor.

The film will be shot in New Jersey, either entirely in a grocery store in the town or one of its malls. And remember, sense of humor is very important . The jokes and know: the Wars, thugs, sex of superheroes, and that ... tits, dicks and asses ... Kevin Smith .

Strongest Norco Strength



was another unsettling and boring workday. Sunday morning. I hate working on Sunday morning. In the absence of about three hours to get home and relieve my pain doing something truly gratifying and rewarding as listening to music, read a comic or give me a nap.

another Sunday morning in the workplace. And if I try to concentrate deeply in the field of view my wristwatch, the secundero surely turn in the opposite direction. As in those classes last Friday at the school. On Sunday morning were not invented to be working ...

Coincidentally, deep in my routine cleaning and alienation, I found a book. The Mosquito Coast Paul Theroux of . With Harrison Ford fronted by on the cover. One of those paperbacks seeking buyers among those who still judge a book by its cover. As if adapting a novel to film to give greater credence to the literary work. As if all the books that have not been brought to the big screen is not worthwhile.

Fulfilling my duties, I went to Lost, a bottomless box of items that people forget in the cold hotel room (my workplace) full of shoes, clothes, glasses and (mostly) Chargers mobile. Along the way I decided to check out the book. Because you can not find a book every day. Because people do not forget books. Because people no longer travels with books. Because it is always worthwhile.

The first page I found this note.



So I listened. I changed my way into the room of employees and save the workbook in my backpack. The morning and was not boring and maddening or during the three hours that separated me from freedom did not stop one second to think about the treasure that awaited me back home. Someone had "forgotten" that book for someone else to find and make sense of this object made of paper and ink. For a moment I felt part Fahrenheit 451. For a moment, having that book in my hands made me feel special link in a chain of clandestine readers (because the best readings have always been the secret).



Although I had long heard of this initiative, I am not interested in the bookcrossing up that Sunday morning a couple of weeks. Now I know who owned this book before and what was their goal by quitting "forgotten" between the couch cushions where I found: someone to do what he or she would not be able to do: read.

This little story made me think more deeply on issues that take a long time talking in the blogosphere. As the need to separate culture and capital and to seek ways to end the impudence of institutions like the SGAE to claim tax ideas, words, melodies ... culture, what we were, are and will be.

The book is a sort of living in a constant state of hibernation, waiting. So, my task will be to get this copy of The Mosquito Coast a nap shelf where he has immersed who knows how many years. When finished, it again lost to stop the chain continues and sleep periods do not last as much as before. And of course, try to contribute to this idea of \u200b\u200b"liberating" a copy of 1984 , my favorite book. Because I have spoken of Fahrenheit 451, suffice it to say that this movement of illegal books is one of the best ideas that I have known lately to try to rescue our civilization from the dystopia which look set irremediablemtente.

At the end of the day, I do all this. I found a book that made me think without having read it yet. And above, I was happy working a boring Sunday morning, when I needed it.

( Bookcrossing describes itself as "the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be collected and read by others, who would later do the same. If you are interested in the idea, do not miss their web .)

Trucks Tool Box Replacement Lock

Termen ne wild Readings MRET


few days ago, in the writing of this humble blog will review amazed Mars Attack! , the B-movie more budget All times concocted cheerfully irregular a few years ago, but loved in this house, Tim Burton. As is customary in the center of wisdom, the viewing of the film was followed by the relevant symposium which, knife in mouth, we decided to gut the film in the style of Garcian. We took the bottle of whiskey from under the table, the ten cartons of Ducados and seeks to assess the controversial blockbuster millimeter.

After rambling about the virtues and vices of the greatest work of Burton Mars, put on a pedestal to Sarah Jessica Parker elucubrar decaffeinated and groped and conspiracy theories about what might happen on Earth if our planetary neighbors decide to visit, we emphasized (completely drunk at this point) in the fantastic soundtrack signed by Danny Elfman musician burtoniana fetish school. Searching the web, we found that employed the Elfman theremin, an instrument extraplanetary where they exist, to create the sonic backdrop.



Russian physicist Leon Theremin (real name Lev Termen) invented in 1919, this curious instrument that produces sound without physical contact by the interpreter. Good old Leon defined the concept as "ether music", hence the aparatejo in question is also known as eterófono.

The ethereal sound that was generated to emulate the timbre of the cello, as well as physical inventor was a cellist. And in general, intended as substitute for full orchestras. All without the hassle of having to handle the bow and the strings of a stringed instrument of life.

The classic theremin consisted of a box which came out two antennas, one vertical and the frequency controller and a horizontal charge to change the volume. If our hands close to the first antenna would get a high note that would become serious by keeping the hoof. With the horizontal antenna would the same, the closer it was the hand less volume. The result was a sound proper to the synthesizers of our time.

The Lenin himself was amazed discovery and Theremin sent to Europe to show the power of Soviet ingenuity. Leon came to the U.S. then where would play his instrument by the New York Philharmonic , selling a year later the business license of the RCA product.

In his American period, Leon was in contact with geniuses like Einstein, who once made his first steps with the violin, or Robert Moog that, based on the ideas of Russian would be enshrined as one of the most prominent sound engineers in the history of music. While Moog, you know, deserves a post all to himself.

After continuing his work in the field of sound and many musicians trained in the use of the Theremin, Leon turned to the Soviet Union in 1938, where he finished as a prisoner working for the KGB until 1956, when it regained its freedom. From then until his death in 1993 at age 97, Theremin continued to work tirelessly and passionately in his invention star. The same would serve to create the sonic atmospheres of Remember of Hitchcock, Lost Weekend of Billy Wilder or science fiction films as War of the Worlds of Haskin . In addition, many musicians would claim later the theremin as an instrument. Jimmy Page, for example, introduced this noisy machine live versions of classic Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta Love.



The Russian music Clara Rockmore, who died in 1998, and Lydia Kavina , both trained by our inventor of the day, are two of the most recognized Thereministes virtuous of all time. The filmmaker shot Steve Martin, for its part, the 1994 documentary Theremin an electronic odyssey , this documentary biopic sound wise.

If you have time, I leave this link where you will find information to build your own theremin. Moreover, this charming couple of videos, where they can enjoy the power of this instrument, a pioneer in synthetic music revolution. In the first of them, indeed, it is the Lion who runs his wonderful instrument.

Please Monetary Gift Due To Destination Wedding

Travel III: The Age of Innocence


Before becoming a billionaire businessman galaxy that we all now know, George Lucas back in the seventies, was a brilliant and lowly director who left for the history of cinema that great little film that is American Graffiti. An overnight trip by the American teenager in the early sixties, where the Rock'n Roll emergent sounded loud through the modest car stereos, a pillar of youth entertainment. Liquor, music, girls and careers (often to death) were just cruising ons, a move uniquely American concept. As Luke himself says, this was "a unique friendship ritual involving American cars." With the cultural rupture that led to the hippie movement and the gradual disappearance of the phenomenon, this bearded decided in his own words, "to document all this generational experience, that was the way in those days, to meet girls and spend leisure time" .


traveled to 1962, the end of the "last age of American innocence, as noted the last sentence of the synopsis of this vital film business. Three years before Buddy Holly died in a plane crash creating the first myth of rock'n roll ("Nobody has done it again Rock'n Roll since Holly died," he says at one point in the film .) that first episode of "the death of innocent shocked in their day to a society that, at that time, was still living in the dream of welfare and political correctness. A year later, the assassination of Kennedy , who revived this shock at the death of the innocent, would only be the first episode of the three decades busiest recent American history to September 11, 2001. The sixties, the Vietnam War , counterculture and the struggle for civil rights, among many other events, would change forever the "Age of Innocence" American. Being young, innocent and deadly in the USA would never be the same.


American Graffiti tells a fateful night in the life of a group of friends. The last night of his innocence, perhaps. Some very young Richard Dreyfuss and Ron Howard interpreted, respectively, Curt and Steve , Which must catch a plane to college the next morning. While Curt is not sure whether it is worth leaving everything familiar to him and wanted to start a new life thousands of miles from home, Steve is looking forward to new era that is going to play live. So much so that informalize decides her relationship with Laura sister Curt. The gang of friends, Terry complete, the driver of a Vespa with the typical nerd image, and John , the handsome fellow who drives the fastest car in the valley (never been beaten in a race).



The minds and hearts of the players go, that unforgettable night, drifting, swept away by the darkness, the rock'n roll and the smell of gasoline. In the eight hours (time up, time down) in which the action of the film, nothing seemed to come out as planned. The people and circumstances surrounding that evening will shape and change forever the fate of that group of friends. The epilogue imitadísimo mythical Lucas gives us good faith it will.



The side gallery presents Lucas pose a great approach to this culture of cruising. They also will be a vital part in the development of the plot, essential when removing the consciousness of the protagonists. Carol , a fourteen year old girl willing to pose as girl crusing. The band of the Pharaon typical thugs in leather jackets, high speeds and no good thinking. The beautiful Debbie duhama , who wears one of the most iconic hairstyles in film history. alfalfa Bob, played by a novice Harrison Ford, the typical mouths looking down to the valley with his car to beat the machine John. Wolfman Jack, the true radio DJ who became legendary among youth that cruising. And, of course, an unknown and mysterious blonde driving a Ford Thunderbird white and Curt will bring headaches.



For the weaknesses you have one, in terms of music and magic of the radio, Wolfman is my favorite child. All drivers tune their radio show in their cars and enjoy the nights of rock'n'roll magic and flavor of a radio legend that nobody knows anything for sure. In the History section on the site Accurancy Wikipedia entry film, explains the true story of a California radio formula myth. Wolfman his songs are the perfect backdrop for this tale of teens on the verge of the leap to maturity. The perfect child ghost, as the radio voices should always be. Building on the wikifilón, do not miss this post detailing all the songs can be heard in American Graffiti, one of the great soundtracks of all life.

legacy and influence of this movie are not comparable with The Star Wars, which would place four years later and forever, Luke in the firmament of Hollywood unattainable. American Graffiti still sat many of the bases used many teen movies come. Their impact is undeniable. A whole cult movie that records the good films that George could have done without the use of a light saber and the Millennium Falcon . In 1974, George Lucas, like the United States in 1962, lived the last years of his innocence in the world of cinema. Blessed innocence.
