Only problem, Wiggles, is it's too big - looks like DHP saw it too. :p

It seems that there is an excess of servers for the number of NS players too.

I'd say Batman's usage of it wasn't as bad as the others. Bourne had it the worst.I hated The Bourne Supremacy mostly because of this. It was also a late show, and I didn't have much sleep....but I could still recognize ****ty cinematography.[snapback]52417[/snapback]

Noes, Bill. No more closure.QuoteFor the record, If I remember right the emp fries sends a huge electric pulse that kinda melts the wiring... and what kind of logic is, "It only effects the battery in the electric circut!"QuoteAs for the goofs in the movie, people with a lot of time on their hands have been discussing it endlessly on the IMDB.com forums. Here's an explanation I read:Yay, closure. It makes sense now.QuoteA) EMP affects devices that are working.Yeah, I'm working right now, thus all the posting. :p
B) A change of battery would enable the video camera (and, yes there was a 35 mm camera AND a video camera)
C) The EMP (or whatever!) fried the starter and the solenoid. Ray tells the mechanic to change the solenoid before replacing the starter before he knows there has been an invasion...when he comes back, he, therefore realizes that that van is the only one in the area that will work.[snapback]51918[/snapback][snapback]51932[/snapback]
but yeah, I still like the movie, it just kinda bugged me that they called it an EMP, where... if they called it something else, NO ONE could defy what they had said afterwards.[snapback]52132[/snapback]

I was just wondering if anyone has at least tried out Killer 7. I tried to rent it from a Blockbuster somewhat near me, but, alas, this one sucks and didn't have it.
Anyway, I hear that you probably will either like it or hate it due to its rail system for movement. However, it's supposed to have a good story. I just wanted some more info since I really don't want to buy it and hate it.

I didn't think it looked fat - fluffy and fuzzy more than anything.Dogs only hold them up when they want to really. They can keep them floppy if they want. In my case, my German Shepherd will only hold one ear up, but if she gets angry at people passing by, she might have both up. They have personalities, and what they do reflects it.
But I have a question about it's ears. Do they always stand up? I mean, from birth? I ask because I've had 2 boxers - and with boxers you have to go have a vet crop them to make them stand (and less and less people are doing that to their boxers now btw, I guess floppy is 'in' for them) - and then I have my German Shepherd, who had floppy ears until she was a few months old and they gradually stood up on their own. Corgies are born with the upright ears?[snapback]51994[/snapback]

In addition, the definition of a "llama" eject should not be if the admin thinks it is deserved, but if the player can explain. If the player says "I feel that the commander was wasting resources on such and such", even if the admin does not agree no action should be taken against the player.While that may seem fine and dandy, any person that has something that resembles a brain would say that so they don't get in trouble.[snapback]51867[/snapback]

1.) why were they frying people with a death ray if they needed their blood1) The aliens came to exterminate everyone on the planet. This included many things that we built (but not everything). At the beginning of the movie, it showed that by using the rays, people would herd together and run en masse. This would allow for easy extermination and picking up people. The aliens would not need the 6+ billion people on earth to make the blood farms. Killing several thousand people in a major city would make no difference. And then there's the fact that armies are shooting everything they have at them. It might not hurt them, but I think it would get very tiresome.
2.) why did they even have deathrays if they had an impenetrable shield
3.)emp thing isnt necessarily bs since it wasnt actually lightning[snapback]51842[/snapback]

3) Don't know what you're saying for sure, but...the emp was to make it so people couldn't drive away or communicate easily with each other. After all, communication is one of the world's strongest weapons today. And then yeah it wasn't actual lightning.

The reason it wasn't in-depth was because it's a movie. If you want to know more of the reasons behind things, read the book. As you call tell, I finally saw it today.
I thought it was a pretty awesome movie. The special effects were very good (uncannily realistic sometimes). The aliens looked good. The acting was also good. Dakota Fanning (Rachel in the movie) acted very well for a little girl (as good as an adult even). I also liked the tense situations in it. They were handled quite well.
The best part was the beginning since it's a sensory overload with all the chaos and house being thrown everywhere.
