time. CM's claim they 'didn't see the need.'
Digital Gaming

Halo 3 Beta

Disneyland Park
Mathius decided that since my last game has crashed and
I cannot upload it ever again I will create a new Disneyland. I will be
putting my own spins on Frontierland, Fantasyland, Main Street,
Adventureland, Tomorrowland and a new special 'spooky' land that I have
created a name for yet.
Burner Software Question

for it was already installed. Now every program possible says we have
the drive but not the software. Is there anyway of finding the software
again?
Entertainment
Hell's Kitchen
Ginerella loves the heat in Hell's Kitchen. Do you?
Fans and newbies alike are invited to discuss this kitchen based reality
show here. What's next? Hell's Water Closet? No one really knows for
sure.
Ocean's
13? Evan Almighty? When did Hollywood Give Up?
The sad state of Hollywood's creativity is discussed here. Addressing
this summer's bumper crop of sequels and lack of originality,
MaxFischer asks why this sort of thing is going on and
questions whether or not the well has run dry on ideas. It seems that
pleasing shareholders has taken precedence over pleasing fickle, more
risky audience tastes.
Creature
Comforts
Years ago a short by the name of Creature Comforts won an Oscar and
Aardman Animation was put on the map. They have returned to
this concept with a Television show of the same name. Discuss it here.
Knocked
Up
Dramaqueen writes: I have been excited for this film
for a while now. When the reviews came out on Friday, I got even more
excited. Its been getting amazing reviews (92% on Rotten Tomatoes). Some
critics are calling it "the 'When Harry Met Sally' for our generation"
and "the future of the romantic comedy'. I just got home from seeing it,
and it is wonderful! The best movie of its kind I have seen in a long
time. The characters are very real, and it goes places I have never seen
a movie like this go. It's surprisingly touching.
Harry
Potter 5 now to be released on 7/11
It seems the release date for HP 5 has been moved up 2 days to July
11th. I smell the desire to break "weekend" box office records here.
Is there still magic left in the Harry Potter Franchise? It seems we'll
know two days sooner.
