What has been the worst and best sequel and remake this decade so far?
I think the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003" was the best remake. And "Hellboy 2" was the best Sequel. I liked the TCM, not as good as the original but really good.
The worst remake was "Planet of the Apes". And the worst sequel goes to "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls". Though this is a tough category.
Penny, I said this decade, Aliens was possibly the best sequel ever but that was in the 80’s. Yeah Revolutions was a big disappointment, but Matrix Reloaded had it’s moments. Who the crap puts out two sequels within 6 months anyway, idiots.


Best Sequel: The Dark Knight

Best Remake: Batman Begins (if only because it set the precedent for the "gritty reboot")

Worst Sequel: Ocean’s Twelve

Worst Remake: Friday the 13th

Lexis | Jan 29, 2010


Try the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins? I really enjoy the romance in that one, speaking as someone who generally doesn’t enjoy romance.
thelastoftheblacks | Jan 29, 2010


The Mortal Instruments series is really good. (city of bones, ashes, and glass) it’s probably the best series ive ever read. the romance is really good..it’s drives you crazy. it’s definitely fantasy and supernatural..has some mysteries and suspense. also really good action, characters and plot.
but there is werewolves in them..but they are NOT the main focus of the story..it’s not about werewolves at all, the story just has mythical creatures in it, and there is also vampires, demons, faeries, etc. but all of these aren’t the main focus at all..they play rather small parts usually.
i really cant even describe how good these books are..i don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you read them :)

Was I fair in how I resolved this messy situation between me, my good male friend, and his wife?
[Hi, I asked this a month or 2 ago but would value some new answers as I am still feeling bad.]

I’ve been friends with a guy for almost 20 years; never any funny business. I don’t even fancy him, and he has never been single even when we were at college, and were relatively young.

We stayed in touch during our 20s. He had lots of girlfriends, and I dated too. We are mid-30s now.

He always made it clear he would love a threesome one day, and I always said "that’s nice dear, good luck" (I never wanted to join in).

He got married in 2005, and despite how close we are, he never even TOLD me, much less invited me. I found out in 2006 when I got a group text from him saying that his "new baby" was ill, (later died) and "please pray for me and my wife". Amidst supporting him, I had to ask "WHAT wife?!" He did go off the radar for a few months so this must have been when he got married, and we don’t have daily contact.

He never really said why he failed to tell me he got married but I believe he was terrified I would tell her all about his seedier days from college – I had NO intention of telling her, even though I was puzzled as to why she would care what he did BEFORE getting married.

Fast forward to 2009 and he finally "deemed" me "fit" to meet his wife, 4 years after the wedding! I was confused as to why now?

It turned out that he wanted to have a threesome with us, so had set up this meeting with me and her….I took one look at her, had one chat with her, and I KNEW she was not over the baby’s death at ALL. It seemed the poor woman was pilled up but never had counselling, or any friends.

ALL my friend could go on about was "how HOT is my wife? Do you agree she’s hot? So when are we going THREE WAY?? LOL"

I was like "Umm….she’s DEPRESSED. BADLY." He refused to listen, and instead continued his campaign to get us both to agree to a threesome.

She then told me she had "fallen in love" with me, following evenings and coffees out. I was horrifed and stunned, and told him. Again, he laughed it off, telling me to "just look forward" to "sucking" his you know what.

I was disgusted. It all came to a head 2 months ago when I was too busy to see her one week, and SHE THREATENED SUICIDE. She told me if she died, I am to blame, for "abandoning her" and that she was making herself throw up, over her "distress and despair" over me.

I begged my friend to help her. His response? "YOU UPSET MY WIFE BY NOT TEXTING HER FOR THREE DAYS".

Needless to say, I was shocked and horrified and talked to him for days and days, begging him to get her some help. He continued TO BLAME ME. "If only you texted her back….you’re to blame" etc. He said "Nup. I can’t accept she’s to blame..it takes 2 to tango". This made me LIVID. Not that I showed it.

I tried yet again recently to talk to him and I told him "Look – she was texting me unsettling things BEFORE I so-called ’stopped texting her’, this is a huge issue". Conveniently, he ignored that, and went on and on about "you were too busy for her, why did you stop texting for 3 days?"

I repeated that 1) she had gotten crazy BEFORE I got too busy to text her that week, and 2) I had some very deeply unsettling personal issues of my own – not that he cared! (my good friend was arrested)

After trying and trying to get him to help her, as well as seeing it from my viewpoint, and he refused, and just said "Sarah – just accept you’re to blame, please", I texted him and told him that, after 20 years, I no longer wish to continue the friendship. I can’t believe he would blame me for her mental situation.

OH AND BTW – when I finally confronted him on the wedding and why I was not told, he said "we eloped – no one knew" – WHAT THE IDIOT DOES NOT KNOW IS THAT HIS WIFE SHOWED ME THE WEDDING PICS, AND EVERYONE WAS THERE. But I did not mention this as did not wish to humiliate him.

Did I do the right thing?
Nope, this is indeed the full story, although obviously condensed. I feel bad as I feel like I have somehow thrown away the friendship, but I simply could not accept his blaming me.


Yes you did. They both are some loonies and you don’t need that stress in your life. He had no reason to lie about the wedding. It just sounds like he didn’t want to be your friend, but only your sex buddy.

If she commits suicide, then it isn’t your fault. It’s his for not intervening like a husband should. I can’t even call him a husband.

You did good to end the relationship. Don’t ever talk to him or her again. That is a negative relationship that will only bring negativity to your life. Misery loves company.

~Boo Thang~ | Jan 01, 2010


I think you did the ONLY thing you could do. Carry on with your life. This "friend" isn’t worth it.
sheloves_dablues | Jan 01, 2010


I can’t figure out what you would still be feeling bad about. He sounds borderline dangerous and she sounds like a total nutcase. Unless you left something out, I’d say you’ve already wasted way too much emotional energy on this.
Messykatt | Jan 01, 2010


I think you did the best that you could in that situation. I don’t know what else to say about it. Your friend’s behavior was very disturbing in not just blaming you but in not seeing how unwell his wife had become. Maybe he was having problems coping with his wife’s depression and needed someone to blame or help and that’s where you came in. That wasn’t a fair situation to be put in, so I can’t even say if any particular action would have been "right."
ladybug_jane22 | Jan 01, 2010


Friends are a dime a dozen…toss these crazy ones and move on. You did the right thing.

Curse of the Golden Flower
Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)

IMDB rating: 7.00

Plot: China, Later Tang Dynasty, 10th Century. On the eve of the Chong Yang Festival, golden flowers fill the Imperial Palace. The Emperor (Chow Yun Fat) returns unexpectedly with his second son, Prince Jai (Jay Chou). His pretext is to celebrate the holiday with his family, but given the chilled relations between the Emperor and the ailing Empress (Gong Li), this seems disingenuous. For many years, the Empress and Crown Prince Wan (Liu Ye), her stepson, have had an illicit liaison. Feeling trapped, Prince Wan dreams of escaping the palace with his secret love Chan (Li Man), the Imperial Doctor’s daughter. Meanwhile, Prince Jai, the faithful son, grows worried over the Empress’s health and her obsession with golden chrysanthemums. Could she be headed down an ominous path? The Emperor harbors equally clandestine plans; the Imperial Doctor (Ni Dahong) is the only one privy to his machinations. When the Emperor senses a looming threat, he relocates the doctor’s family from the Palace to a remote area. While they are en route, mysterious assassins attack them. Chan and her mother, Jiang Shi (Chen Jin) are forced back to the palace. Their return sets off a tumultuous sequence of dark surprises. Amid the glamour and grandeur of the festival, ugly secrets are revealed. As the Imperial Family continues its elaborate charade in a palatial setting, thousands of golden armored warriors charge the palace. Who is behind this brutal rebellion? Where do Prince Jai’s loyalties lie? Between love and desire, is there a final winner? Against a moonlit night, thousands of chrysanthemum blossoms are trampled as blood spills across the Imperial Palace.

How much damage could this possibly have done to my car?
i drive a stick shift and in my neighborhood, as i was driving back home today in a really bad snow weather, my car got trapped in the snow for like 15 minutes. I went into a pile of snow and was trying to make a turn then got stuck…so then I tried to back up but my car was still stuck.

I then just decided to use the reverse, 1st and 2nd gear on my shift and went really hard on my engine. I floored it so hard that I could here the engine rev up at it highest level in the reverse, 1st and 2nd gear.

After I finally somehow got out, I was able to get home and park…but now I’m really afraid this may have caused serious damage to my engine. how can I check if theres any possible issue or problem with my car.

thanks in advance


Check tires, they may have overheated. Check engine oil or just replace if your close to time. If the motor still sounds ok and the car still drives good chances are its fine. luck!

IMDB rating: 7.30

Plot: In 1922, Madrid is wavering on the edge of change as traditional values are challenged by the dangerous new influences of Jazz, Freud and the avant-garde. Salvador Dali arrives at the university; 18 years old and determined to become a great artist. His bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism attracts the attention of two of the university’s social elite – Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Bunel. Salvador is absorbed into their youthfully decadent group and for a time Salvador, Luis and Federico become a formidable trio, the most ultra-modern group in Madrid. However as time passes, Salvador feels and increasingly strong pull towards the charismatic Federico – who is himself oblivious of the attentions he is getting from his beautiful writer friend, Magdalena. In the face of his friends’ preoccupations – and Federico’s growing renown as a poet – Luis sets off for Paris in search of his own artistic success. Federico and Salvador spend the holiday in the sea-side town of Cadaques. Both the idyllic surroundings and the warmth of the Dali family sweep Federico off his feet. Salvador and Frederico draw closer, sharing their deepest beliefs, inspirations and secrets, convinced that they have found a kind of friendship not dreamed of by others. It is more that a meeting of the minds; it is a fusion of souls.

What are your favorite GLBT movies?
I’m just curious about the ones out there…I like drama, about two conflicting people who don’t want to believe they are gay, but in the end they decide to just go for it…You know. I usually only like the boy-ones, because…I dunno. I’ve always been more interested in that.

My favorite, currently, is Little Ashes. If you haven’t seen it, see it. It is so sad and I want to hate it because of the way it ended, but I love it. :)

Do you know where I can find more movies like this? Particularly in the male-genera that is NOT porn?


Try Shelter. It’s my favorite, because it’s a great love story. :) www.watch-movies-online.tv is a great website for movies. (non-pornographic)

How to just be friends after dating?
So me and my ex went out for almost two years which for a high school relationship is pretty long. I’m totally in love with him. He feels the same way. For personal reasons we can’t be together. Sort of a romeo and juliet thing. Well, I still love him and care for him and want to be there for him, but there is a problem. Today we tried hanging out for the first time since we broke up five days ago. Not holding his hand, kissing, blahblahblah was devastating. I mean like I really miss him but I don’t see how we can be friends. I don’t even know how to go about it. Any suggestions??

Hey man, try to limit your deck to 40 so you can draw the cards you need quicker.

1 > Select a theme either Meta or Anti-meta (yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Anti-Meta)
2 > Ensure you have staple Spells and Traps e.g.
> Heavy storm
> Mystical space typhoon
> Lightning vortex
> Bottomless trap hole
> Dark bribe
> Torrential tribute
3 > Make sure you have support/defensive cards for your theme e.g.
Graveyard support – Remove from play – Self milling – Synchro – Attribute – Type of monsters

All the best

MaTt | Jan 29, 2010


this deck seems really random. try to make a theme like all fire or blackwing or spellcaster. since your new i would start of with a starter deck and improve on that. itll help alot if you have some freinds who have more experience because they can give you tips. i used to be really bad at dueling until my friend gave me some cards to start off. i made a zombie deck and my friend helped me start an ancient gear deck. both of those were okay but not great. my friend is really good at making decks so i bought a fire deck and a crystal beast deck from him and they are both really good.
Drake | Jan 29, 2010


Your deck should be more 1 type like blackwings or spellcasters with good equip cards like black pendant and take out some non effect cards and try get dark magician girl for spellcasters.
Blackwings are actually better than spellcasters so I suggest you get blackwing cards.
Hope this helps

CUT IT DOWN TO CARDS!!!!! then try and revolve ur deck around a theme e.g. a burn/milling iron chain deck(deck i run)

Do you have any serious fantasy books?
I am not talking comedy, like Percy Jackson, but more on the serious side, like Harry Potter. Sci-fi books are also fine.

My library is tiny. I don’t have books like Hunger Games and Uglies.

I’ve read the Power of Five, Harry Potter, etc.

I have never actually read Narnia, only the movies, but are they written in old style?

Sorry, I just couldn’t read through the Hobbit … it was boring.

I’ve read Harry Potter.

A great series is Dragon Keeper! they are extreme fantasy fiction like harry potter, narnia etc.

and no narnia isn’t written in old style…at least thats my opinion. They do speak english (Cuz they live in england! However, both of these books are excellent! And both you can find at a library, even if its not the one in your town!
juliasmiles… | Jan 30, 2010


Yes, I do – but they are mostly not modern trendy and were written for adults.

If you’re going to use terms like "old style" and "boring", then I guess you’re stuck with light kids books.

Hi, you might want to try my own recently published book, entitled "The Tales of Tanglewood: The Lon Dubh Whistle", lightly influenced by Irish folklore and Celtic mythology.

You can download the first three chapters for free at talesoftanglewood.com

Within the pages of the book, readers will discover Colin, a child who is fully aware of the hidden world of myth and wonder hiding within the woods just beyond his home, long kept secret by old magic. Only the fey magic which runs through his veins has enabled Colin to find what others cannot; the Tanglewood, the ‘wood within the woods.

Full of odd characters and creatures of the fey, the Tanglewood is a world of magnificent folklore come to life. As Colin begins to explore the Tanglewood, he will find friendship with the ferrish Ailfrid, the elfin girl Deidre, and Doc Muffingrow, a wise druid.

Colin will also find that there is much magic in himself, as well as dangerous enemies who will not let him find solace in the wood so easily. Ailil, King of the Sprites and ruler of The Below, has laid claim to his spirit, and Colin will need the help of his friends and quite a bit of magic to save himself.

You can check out the reviews at Amazon.com
