Hey man I got what you need.....
And have you ever wanted something so badly
that it possessed your body & your soul
through the night & through the day
until you finally get it!
And then you realise that it wasn't what you wanted after all.
And then those selfsame sickly little thoughts
now go & attach themselves to something....
....or somebody....new!
And the whole goddamn thing starts all over again.
Well, I've been crushing the symptoms but I can't locate the
cause.
Could God really be so cruel?
To give us feelings that could never be fulfilled. Baby!
I've got my sights set on you. I've got my sight set on you
And someday, someday, someday, you'll come my way.
But when you put your arms around me
I'll be looking over your shoulder for something new
'cause I ain't ever found peace upon the breast of a girl
I ain't ever found peace with the religion of the world
I ain't ever found peace at the bottom of a glass
sometimes it seems the more I ask for the less I receive
sometimes it seems the more I ask for the less I receive
The only true freedom is freedom from the heart's desires
& the only true happiness....this way lies.

Hey, what song is this:confused: ...fantastic lyrics, sounds like something Adam from the Counting Crows would have written a few years back, but guess I'm a million miles away...

Cheers,

Best movie of all time - Aliens. :D

Other favourites include: Saving Private Ryan, Predator, Ronin, Black Hawk Down, Tomorrow Never Dies, BraveHeart, We Were Soldiers, Band of Brothers (to prevent flame wars, I realize it's not really a movie :p ), and COMMANDO (rofl) .

Foreign films worth mentioning: Run Lola Run, My Sassy Girl (Korean), The Killer (John Woo).

Love some of the old B&W classics like Laurel & Hardy films, King Kong, "Plan 9 from Outer Space".


...and anything else Mark Basch recommends. :D


PS. Nearly forgot The Matrix. :rolleyes: :p :D

Neo, you beat me to it, but I would also have to say Predator (for Nostalgia). I think I've seen and enjoyed almost every movie, and HBO-series:wink:, in all the above posts except for a few.

A favorite song is too hard to choose, but anything from Queen, the Beastie Boys, or Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers.

"Anytime"... :D


We should have a thread of "best movie moments"... there are plenty of films that are av'ge or crap, but have a couple of spectacular moments worth remembering. IE. The last Tom Clancy movie with Ben Affleck (forgotten name) -- when the Nuke goes off, that was very cool. After that the movie got simple & predictable, but the nuke was unreal. :p
