Gal's Common Sense

Oh Yeah....Definitely more than meets the eye.

Michael Bay does an amazing job at collecting the excitement and a wonderful job of executing of a movie.

The story was just ok, but the humor in this movie was pretty good. And a scene with Bumble Bee wind the award for funniest scene in a movie. I am still laughing about it.

The Movie was jam packed with Action and the special effects were the best that I have seen this year in any movie. I thoroughly enjoyed Die Hard 4, but Transformers has now taken over as the best movie to come out this year.

And about Megan Fox......WOW....../drool....../wipe chin......./drool more.....

Anyway, all said I happily give this a 9.2 out of 10. Definitely a must see IN theaters.

Will have to come to the entertainment section of the message board to find a review for this movie.  Of course, you could read Russ' review which is wrong as usual.

More than 3 people have fallen for and labeled gullible my more than 20 fake UFO crafts that I have designed and flown around the greater metropolitian area.

Well the is what Rosie has just stated:

O’DONNELL: I haven't -- I just want to say something. 655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?

HASSELBECK: Who are the terrorists?

O’DONNELL: 655,000 Iraqis -- I'm saying you have to look, we invaded --

HASSELBECK: Wait, who are you calling terrorists now? Americans?

O’DONNELL: I'm saying if you were in Iraq, and the other country, the United States, the richest in the world, invaded your country and killed 655,000 of your citizens, what would you call us?

HASSELBECK: Are we killing their citizens or are their people also killing their citizens?

O’DONNELL: We're invading a sovereign nation, occupying a country against the U.N.

..........

HASSELBECK: Do you not believe in terrorism?

O’DONNELL: I believe, Elisabeth, that 6,000 dead Americans from 9/11 and from this war is a lot less than 655,000 dead Iraqis.

HASSELBECK: But do you believe in terrorism?

O’DONNELL: I believe every human life is equal.

HASSELBECK: Do you believe there in terrorism?

O’DONNELL: I believe in state sponsored terrorism. I believe there is government sponsored terrorism by every nation in the world, including ours.

It makes me ill to think that she lives and speaks freely in America, the country she obviously hates.

A backpack exploded in a parking garage attached to a Las Vegas hotel early Monday, killing a man who had picked it up and injuring another person, authorities said.

.

Sad thing is that more and more of this will become a common occurance that we will become numb to.

Anyone else notice how on this side of the fence that if there is anything that supports the President of the United States, the leader of our country, the elected man to lead us, that these stories will not make the front page here.

.

Anyone else notice that if someone posts something Anit-Bush, something that tears down the man that was elected to lead our country, the President of the United States that they will put that on the front page so fast that it will make your head spin?

.

Hey Webteam, take a look at yourselves and quit being so biased.  I thought the news station and its employees were suppose to be neutral.

Please people...if you are going to report on high water DON"T SHOW STREETS WHERE YOU CAN STILL SEE THE CURBS.  That is not high water.  All morning they show roads where you can still see the 6-inch curb and calling it high water not to drive through. 

.

Thanks for adding to the stupidity.

Has the Washington Post actually started to report the truth?

(Psst. all the red words are clickys)

.

After recent editorials condemning House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-California) trip to Syria, a good job covering the conviction of Harold Ford, Jr.’s (D-Tennessee) uncle, and a David Broder column harshly critical of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada), the Post published a front-page story Saturday declaring the Democrats’ domestic agenda is languishing.

.

An ABC News-Washington Post poll last month found that 73 percent of Americans believe Congress has done "not too much" or "nothing at all." A memo from the Democratic polling firm Democracy Corps warned last month that the stalemate between Congress and Bush over the war spending bill has knocked down the favorable ratings of Congress and the Democrats by three percentage points and has taken a greater toll on the public's hope for a productive Congress.

...about the flood of '93?

.

We have received a lot of rain and this makes people think, now the scenerios are different, but what do you remember?

.

• I remember making sandbags at Indian Spring Mall. 

• I remember looking at 435 N. as it crosses the Misery River on the KS side and just seeing the road top stretch into the distance.  Yep, they closed it.

• I remember sandbagging the levees and walking on them felt like a sponge.

• I rememberr the firefighters taking up levee duty with a life jacket and radio watching for them to break.

• I remember Riverside under water.

• I rmeember so much more.....

 

 

Don Imus is suing CBS Radio for more than $40 million. He is suing for vindication, according to a media expert, who said “(Imus) wants his name cleared.”

The former talk show host hired one of the country’s top First Amendment trial lawyers to sue CBS for firing him over racial and sexual on-air comments. But Imus points out his contract calls for “irreverent” and “controversial,” and his “nappy-headed BLEEP” remark was certainly that.

Hmmm. That was in the contract? It appears CBS somehow forgot

Well I just returned from the midnight showing of the movie and I will have to say I enjoyed it.  Now it is hard not to be biased since Spidey is my favorite superhero from my childhood but I will try.

.

The movie is 2:20 long and there are a few times when you can feel the length of the show, but then something happens and you forget how long you have been there.  Sam Ramie did a pretty good job of staying true to the comics that most people grew up with and now and we have to remember that he was adapting this to the movie screen.

.

Now as for the movie without giving too much away.  The graphics and attention to detail was AMAZING.  I do not know the exact numbers for making this movie, but I know it was up there, and you can see that the CGI was top notch.   The villians were great and  Christopher Hayden Church did a wonderful job playing his character the Sandman.  Everyone loves Venom and while I could have wished more of him I think Sam did him justice.  The Green Goblin gave us exactly what we wanted and the way his character plays out in this is great. 

.

There was a bit of cheese in the movie, but there was a bit of cheese in the otehr two also...actually I think it was well done and it just would not be the same three movies without it.

.

Overall I would say this Spiderman is better than either of the other two and would give it a 7.5 out of 10.

...with the webslinger.  After 3 years of waiting finally at midnight tonight I will be able to sit back and enjoy the thrid installment of Spiderman.  You know I read the script two years ago and have been itching to see it in action since then....  Well finally the time is here.  I'll let you know how it is.

I AM THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I am the flag of the United States of America
My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.
I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.

I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am arrogant.
I am proud.
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
my head is a little higher,
my colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped - I am saluted.
I am loved - I am revered.
I am respected - and I am feared.

I have fought in every battle of every war
for more then 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge, and Appomattox.
I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of
France, in the Argonne Forest,
Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy, Guam,
Okinawa, Korea and Khe San,
Saigon, Vietnam know me, I was there.
I led my troops, I was dirty, battle worn and tired,
but my soldiers cheered me
And I was proud.

I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets
of countries I have helped set free.
It does not hurt, for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and trampled
on the streets of my country.
And when it's by those whom I've served in battle
it hurts.
But I shall overcome - for I am strong.

I have slipped the bonds of Earth and stood watch
over the uncharted
frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.
When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for
my wounded comrades on the battlefield,
When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier,
Or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at
the grave of their fallen son or daughter, I am proud.
