In less than ten years time cd's will be pretty much gone from the market due to the popularity of mp3's, really hope that doesn't happen to books. That would be tragic.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

In an ideal world each copy of a book would come with an electromnic copy of itself so I could have the choice to move between the two.Turning millions into thousands

I <3 thanksgiving.
3 NFL games. NCAAF heavyweight contests like Arizona v Oregon and Boise State v Nevada on Black Friday. Plus the biggie of Auburn v Alabama. A full complement of NBA and college hoops. Then the premier league and NFL to round off the week. Rugby as well I think plus El Classico on Monday.
Gonna be some weekend! Needs more hours imo.

.
Vinyl was around for a century and a half and had huge intrinsic value, but was wiped out in one generation due to better technology.
Now digital music is on the way to wiping out hard copy music altogether, I fear the same could happen books if e-reading reaches the same popularity.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

This isnt really like me as I'm usually all for embracing technology
however, ereading, in my opinion doesn't improve the act of reading, it allows storage of multiple titles like an mp3 player, but unlike an mp3 player & walkmen/discmen it actively changes how you read. This I believe will be a major hindrence to widespread acceptance of the ereader replacing a book. It has a better future as an aid, doctors charts etc, although with that it'd need wifi connectivity to effectivly do this and all the security features that go with that. Of course this is all already available in other mediums but the idea that you can carry around your medical history is kinda cool imo.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Yeah didnt really like it at all I think its the fact that I dont really like Terry Gilliams stuff, havent walked out of very many movies and I walked out of The Brothers Grimm.
I know the imdb top 250 is a little all over the place but I cant really see why 12 monkeys up in there, I like the premise of the movie but just dont like the final product.
Just checking out his stuff and I see he done Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas ive heard such good things about it but have never gotten around to seeing it I have a feeling it might be tainted now!
12 Monkeys is genius and brilliant. One of my favourite films. Definitely a bit weird, but brilliant.

Originally posted by CourierCollie View PostDidn't like 12 Monkeys. Hasn't bothered to watch the Big Lebowski. What's next, he's going to come out and admit he's never seen/didn't care for Fight Club?
As I said yesterday when I was doing the top 250 from imdb I am really bad when it comes to things I havent seen but really should
I have seen like 15 minutes of The Big Lebowski but my mate didnt like it so had to turn it off and watch something else."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)
