Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of themself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I Live, I will kill you, If I Die, You are forgiven." Such is the Rule of Honor.
Southeast Asia has it on April 25, saw it yesterday :D
Additional feats:
- Good example of Asgardian physiology (well below Thor, but absolutely manhandles human-level characters, including Captain America). He once again does illusions and misdirection as a fighting style very well, which I liked from the Thor movie.
- Took a very brutal beating from the Hulk and did not die.
Iron Man:
- Good speed/acceleration showing. He physically pushes a giant propeller fast enough to keep the helicarrier in the air. And oh yes, did I mention the helicarrier?
- Tony's armor can absorb electricity and power himself to 400% capacity - strong enough to knock around Thor. This is very impressive, considering Thor's lighting feats are insane (see below). Movie Iron Man is now pretty much immune to electricity.
-As stated, Thor's lighting is insane. He can pretty much AoE it to cover a significant portion of the sky, in the process one-shotting multiple giant biomechanical ships that Iron Man otherwise cannot penetrate with his laser weapons (seen cutting through hammeroids like butter in Iron Man 2).
- Mjolnir hits hard enough to smash through a prison designed to hold the Hulk.
- Strengthwise, Thor is able to (slowly) crush Iron Man's armor with his bare hands.
Captain America:
Very impressed with the Shield, which it seems has been upgraded since the time energy weapons knocked it around in the Captain America movie. The Shield has stood up to the following:
- Thor smashing it with Mjolnir, demolishing a large area around it except for Cap and the shield.
- Iron Man's lasers reflect off it
- Loki's energy blasts reflect off it
- A point-blank alien time bomb
- Numerous alien energy blasts
- I liked how they treated the Hulk, who essentially is a horror movie monster. The Hulk is bar none the most imposing physical force in the movie. Nothing beats it in pure strength, and everyone is F*ing terrified (or respectful) of it - even Loki.
- The Hulk suplexes a spaceship the size of a small building.
- Physically beats down Thor.
- Durability-wise, took a fall from the helicarrier. Takes sustained fire from dozens of alien spaceships all firing at the same time, and comes out unscathed.
- Banner can transform at will. Also, Banner explicitly cannot die. He's tried. Up to and including shooting himself in the mouth, the bullet Hulk subsequently spits out.
Black Widow and Hawkeye:
- While never shown being explicitly superhuman, both are very impressive in their own right and *gasp* are not outstaged by the superhumans.
Black Widow gets particular kudos for acting as a spy should and actually getting information in sneaky ways. She outmaneuvered Loki in an interrogation.
- Hawkeye is brainwashed for the majority of the movie, yet he almost singlehandedly managers to sink the helicarier.

I wonder if I can pull the "spoilers (mostly) avoided" tag off the title now. I tried to stay a little more generic. :-)
I back up all of the feats though - they all happened just like that EXCEPT I would say the Thor/Hulk fight had the Hulk slightly having the upper hand physically, but Thor giving quite well, having the dramatic skill advantage, AND not being remotely damaged by the hits he took. The snake-attack-craft punch-out was the class 100-ish feat I was talking about - the thing is moving and the Hulk just flat out stops it/kills it with one punch.

That's what I'm saying. Since the movie hasn't come out here (Another week, thank god.) I only had trailers to base my assessment of the movie on. And from what I saw it didn't look good for Thor. But like you said, it's fairly consistent across the board for the heroes.
Armored Frame Division #27: Starlancer Flight - Roland Vance Xel'Tais
Thor gets some really good feats. You won't be too disappointed. I wasn't.
Thor is a beast in this. Plus he's just really cool, even outside of fight feats.
His battle with Iron Man is misleading. Think of it like a top class welterweight boxer going up a top class heavyweight. The welterweight is gonna get some good hits in, but really, they just look good and don't really have an effect.
I loved Thor and Hulk's team up. Sooooo good. It's a comic book fans wet dream.
Big Adventure what would you say about Shaw from First Class? Think he'd be an effective opponent for Hulk or Thor?
If his powers require conscious activation, then I'd say both Thor and Hulk would have a really solid shot - they are both MUCH faster than Shaw, especially Thor.
If Shaw's powers do not require conscious activation, he would be tough for them - I mean, we never see him get overloaded at all, though granted, it takes him time to absorb the reactor energy. Maybe Thor could overload him with lightning (definitely the most damaging attack used by any of the Avengers). I guess Thor might also win by funnel-clouding him into space, or dragging him there and leaving him or something (not that he has that exact feat), but I don't see Hulk with any chance at all. Maybe Hulk (Thor as well) could suffocate him, but we've seen lots of reasons proposed why that wouldn't work.
We never see Shaw get overloaded, but we never see him instantly absorb anything substantial either. Rockets and bullets, and Havok's energy blast. Then he absorbed some radiation over time. It's true he's never overloaded, but that doesn't mean he can't be..it just means nothing in the movie was enough to do so.
Movie Thor was already said to mostly likely beat Shaw by overloading him with attacks more powerful then any he absorbed, and that was just using feats from his own movie. If he's even more powerful in the Avengers? He wrecks Shaw.
Likewise, Hulk would probably one shot Shaw as well, even if they had equal speed. Shaw needs to absorb energy before having any firepower..and he's going to get his head punched clean off before he can absorb much of anything.

A woman can move a lot faster with her skirt up than a man can with his pants down.
I was thinking Shaw at his peak, already having absorb the power from the nuclear reactor. And he was instantaneously absorbing the energy from bullets and rockets, I'm guessing he could absorb the kinetic energy from Hulk's blows.

Finding a new Shavuot ritual
It's easy to forget about Shavuot.
The holiday comes at the end of the school year, with the rush of final exams and the start of little league. It's clustered with other celebrations, such as Mother's Day and Yom Ha'atzmaut, graduation and the beginning of camp. The foods of the holiday – generic dairy – pale in comparison to the unique symbols and memories of apples and honey, jelly donuts, hamentashen and matzah.
But most of all, unlike other holidays with their unique rituals such as sitting in the sukkah, lighting Chanukah candles, or a seder, Shavuot's custom of all night learning is lacklustre. For reasons of scheduling and interest, it's able to capture the imagination of only a small demographic.
The nexus of these factors leads Shavuot to be one of the least celebrated of the Jewish holidays.
Because of the lack of compelling ritual, my celebration of Shavuot has changed through my stages of life.
As a child, Shavuot was marked by end-of-the-year ceremonies in synagogue. Junior congregation was invited into the sanctuary, and the youth leaders announced our names and gave us a Jewishly oriented children's book as a capstone to the year. The ceremony was a wonderful way to mark the end of the year and a great pull for "regulars." But it was an insiders' event, honouring those who were already engaged in synagogue life.
In high school it was cool to stay up all night – at least among my very limited group of friends. We would gather at one synagogue, eat a lot of ice cream, learn a little Torah and fall asleep on the couches. As a day school student with no classes the next day and parents committed to the endeavour, it was easy for me to participate. Few of my peers in the throes of exams showed up.
During university, I was on summer vacation by the time Shavuot rolled around. Some years, I was traveling and experienced Shavuot with a local Jewish community. Other years, the holiday presented a pause from a summer job. Unlike the High Holidays or Pesach, Shavuot doesn't have a gravitational pull that brings students home for the holiday.
Last year, for the first time, I attended a Shavuot retreat. A growing number of synagogues and independent minyanim organize such programs combining Torah learning, tfillot and recreational activities.
They're slightly different in each community. They take the form of multi-day immersive experiences at camps or shorter programs in parks and other natural sites, with programs for a specific age group or events that cross generations.
In the spring months, Shavuot retreats capitalize on the opportunity to spent time in budding nature and a relaxed environment to study Torah and build community.
Shavuot retreats offer a potential new ritual that can cross the gamut of life's stages and rejuvenate the celebration of Shavuot. From young children and their families to high school and university students to empty nesters, Shavuot retreats offer the opportunity to bridge the holiday's two parallel themes of Torah study and celebrating the first fruits of nature while engaging participants in memorable experience that will draw them back year after year.

Stripping Paulson of his remaining power and money
Posted November 18, 2008 at 3:20 pm, in From the News
By David Sirota
Author of "The Uprising: An Unauthorized Tour of the Populist Revolt"
Remember when Doris Kearns Goodwin and the rest of the elite media socialites took to the studios of Charlie Rose's show to portray the opponents of the bailout as wild-eyed leftists? Seems there's some serious bipartisan pushback going on (h/t Atrios):
WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe said Saturday that Congress was not told the truth about the bailout of the nation's financial system and should take back what is left of the $700 billion "blank check" it gave the Bush administration.
"It is just outrageous that the American people don't know that Congress doesn't know how much money he (Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson) has given away to anyone," the Oklahoma Republican told the Tulsa World.
"It could be to his friends. It could be to anybody else. We don't know. There is no way of knowing."
Inhofe, who on issues like global warming is something of a know-nothing, is nonetheless absolutely correct on this one. Bailoutsleuth.com has been reporting how Paulson has tried to shroud bailout expenditures in secrecy, while Bloomberg News recently reported that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is refusing to release the names of the recipients of about $2 trillion in taxpayer-funded loans.
Inhofe will likely find an ally in Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who issued this press release this morning:
WASHINGTON, November 17 – Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said today he will introduce legislation to stop the release of a $350-billion second round of the Wall Street bailout.
Sanders, who voted against the $700-billion package Congress approved in October, said he has serious concerns about how the Bush administration and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson are spending the bailout money that was already released. He also said it was unacceptable that the oversight provisions in the bill were ignored.
When the bailout originally passed over bipartisan objections, many voices began demanding Paulson refrain from buying bad mortgages, and instead buy voting stock in banks on terms that force banks to make loans off the new capital, restrict bank salaries/dividends and protect taxpayers' investment. Paulson partially buckled to that pressure, first a few weeks ago, then again late last week. Indeed, he discarded his original proposal (which would have been a straight-up giveaway) and began buying stakes in banks. The problem is he opted to buy non-voting stock on bad terms that do not protect taxpayers and allow bank executives to continue paying bonuses.
Now, with bipartisan congressional anger mounting, we may see a forceful legislative campaign to take back what remaining money Paulson wants to give away to his friends on Wall Street. The guy is working overtime to shovel out as much taxpayer money – our money – to his buddies before January 20th comes and he's out of a job. It's time to stop the kleptocracy, take back the money and spend it on a major economic stimulus to bolster the real economy here in "real America" where real people work real jobs – not simply give it away to a few financial industry fat cats in Manhattan.
Check this out from the Financial Times:
A senior Republican senator is seeking an investigation into potential conflicts of interest among former Goldman Sachs executives serving at the US Treasury and whether any officials exceeded their authority by implementing a controversial tax change without the approval of Congress.
Chuck Grassley, the most senior Republican on the Senate finance committee, asked Eric Thorson, inspector-general of the Treasury, to investigate the "independence" of several Treasury officials who formerly worked at Goldman Sachs and serve as advisers to Treasury secretary Hank Paulson, the former chief executive of the Wall Street bank.

Comments about Patagonia Ultralight Down Jacket - Men's:
I'm 6'1, 160lbs and ordered a medium. The length in the arms was great, but the cut around the mid section was too baggy. I'm returning for a small. Overall, great looking jacket that grabs people's attention when you walk into a room, and looks awesome while riding your bike.

Comments about Patagonia Ultralight Down Jacket - Men's:
Got this jacket before it was in stores from REI online. [...]Started having buyers remorse until I tried it on. As soon as I put it on I went to the sink to test the water resistant outer coating. Water just beaded off of the sleeve like it was nothing. This jacket makes my arcteryx fleece feel like its weighs a ton. I can't believe how light it is for how warm it feels. It packs down in its included stuff sack to the size of a softball and it fits perfect under my Gore Tex Pac-Lite Shell. I think this is the only layer I will need and with the water resistant coating it makes for not having to worry to put on your outer shell in such a hurry. Outer material seems very strong for how light weight it is. Only negative is that the fit seems a little slim but Patagonia says that it runs slim to allow for better insulating around the body. I guess if it bugs me too bad I can return it for one size up. All in all I think this should be a purchase that I will use for many years.

Bone Suckin' Salsa
Let me start by saying that back in the day, when I flew for the now forgotten Piedmont Airlines, Bone Suckin Sauce was only available at the Raleigh Durham, NC airport. Now Bone Suckin products are available thru-out the world. Great job by Ford's Foods. They now have rubs, mustards, hot sauces, teriyaki's and whole plethora of other products.
This Bone Suckin' Salsa is good! At first, I was planning on disappointment, thinking that this company grew too quickly and the products would be average. Not the case at all here. I'm impressed. This salsa is stupid chunky. Tomatoes, Green Peppers, Red and Yellow Bell Peppers, Red Bermuda Onions, Lemon Juice, Apple Cider Vinegar, Garlic, Salt and Spices. No MSG.
Notice that there is no sugar listed. Most commercial salsa's are too sweet with sugar. Good job!
Overall, this is one of the better salsa's available. The heat level is a 2 out of 10, but they never claimed for this product to be hot. I'm thinking this salsa would be killer in a meatloaf.

RENTON - The constant message coming out of Seattle Seahawks headquarters this week is "if we could just be better on third downs, we'd be okay."
The Seahawks are the last-ranked passing offense in the NFL at just 130.8 yards per game through four weeks. Their struggles on third down is the most glaring issue with the offense so far this year. The Seahawks have converted on just 14 of 50 third down chances through the first four weeks of the year - a paltry 28-percent of the time.
"We just need to convert," WR Sidney Rice said. "There's no excuse. We're a professional football team, professional players, we've all got a job to do. We've just got to be held accountable and go out there and make things happen."
"We're one of the top in the league on first and second down so that should make third down that much more easier especially when we're running the ball as well as we are right now."
Seattle is just 4 for their last 20 on third downs and were 0 for 5 with two sacks and an interception on called pass plays on third down against the St. Louis Rams last week. It's something the Seahawks know they have to get fixed to take the next step offensively.
"I feel we have all the right pieces to complete the puzzle," Rice said. "We've just got to get our execution right and be held accountable for the things we do as players out there on the field. It's still early. We just finished the first quarter, so we've got plenty of time to get right but it's going to have to be here pretty soon."
With the way their running game and defense is performing, the quarterbacks and receivers know they are under the most scrutiny. WR Doug Baldwin said they feel they are holding the team back.
"Definitely, and everybody on the offense feels that way," Baldwin said. "We have a championship caliber defense who has been dominating the past four games. As an offense, we need to step up and make that part of our team that much better so that we can be able to win games that we're supposed to win. And when it comes down to close games, we can win those games in the final minutes."
CB Marcus Trufant sat out practice Wednesday with a sore back that Carroll said was related to the issues he's experienced in the past. Back issues have been an ongoing struggle for Trufant since 2009. Carroll said the CB Danny Gorrer and CB Byron Maxwell would be the possible options in nickel situations if Trufant can't play Sunday.
G John Moffitt (knee) and DT Jaye Howard (foot) also did not practice on Wednesday. Moffitt is out for Sunday's game in Carolina.
The team made a switch to their practice squad releasing RB Lonyae Miller and re-signing TE Sean McGrath. QB Josh Portis will play the role of QB Cam Newton during practice this week with his size, speed and familiarity with the read-zone option being a benefit.

Good morning, I can't remember if I posted this particular problem to this mailing list or not.

KCNC's SC11 seatpost collar is designed for the rigors of off road riding and through careful engineering stays very light. The 7075 aluminum body of the KCNC SC11 is aggressively machined to shave unnecessary weight from the body of the collar. A lightweight scandium M7 bolt is used and as with all lightweight equipment, KCNC recommends the use of a torque wrench when tightening the bolt to prevent breakage.

Inevitably recalling his earlier effort, the long-incomplete Downtown 81 (which was eventually finished and issued in 2001), Edo Bertoglio returns to the same subject with this documentary effort. The film, like its predecessor, leads viewers on a tour of the New York avant-garde scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Using archival footage and interviews with such individuals as Deborah Harry, Glenn O'Brien and Victor Bockris, Bertoglio conjures up a re-evocation of the said time and place, and draws on the vivid, colorful and anecdotal recollections of his participants - thus revealing how collective experiences helped shape and define a particular environment and atmosphere in a Manhattan that no longer exists. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

This history and culture of hip-hop, as rapping, street dancing, and graffiti art grew from a local phenomenon in the South Bronx to an art form embraced around the world, are examined in this documentary from filmmaker Paul Kell. Focusing on the more intelligent and "conscious" side of hip-hop rather than the more commercial and exploitive direction of many top-selling artists, Five Sides of a Coin traces hip-hop back to its origins in the hard-hitting musical poetry of Gil Scott-Heron and the Last Poets and the block-party musical innovations of Kool DJ Herc and Afrika Bambaataa, while featuring the thoughts of a number of leading artists and offering a look at the hip-hop in Japan, Europe, and the United Kingdom. Five Sides of a Coin includes interviews with KRS-One, Biz Markie, Q-Bert, Jeru, Michael Franti, DJ Spooky, and more. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Originally shot in 1980-81, this film, directed by Edo Bertoglio, is a rare real-life snapshot of ultra-hip subculture of post-punk era Manhattan. Starring renowned artist Jean Michel Basquiat (who died in 1988 at age 27) and featuring such early Village hipsters as Melle Mel, John Lurie, and Lydia Lunch, the film is a bizarre elliptical urban fairytale. The film opens with Jean (Basquiat) in the hospital with an undisclosed ailment. After checking out, he happens upon an enigmatic woman, Beatrice (Anna Schroeder), who drives around in a convertible. He arrives at his apartment only to discover that his landlord is evicting him. Later, while trying to sell his art work, he meets up with musician Arto Lindsay and his band DNA. Jean eventually does manage to sell some of his art work to a rich middle-aged woman who is interested in more than just his art, but she pays with a check. As the film progresses, he wanders the streets of New York, looking for Beatrice. He happens upon a bag lady (Debbie Harry) who turns into a princess when he kisses her. As a reward, she gives him a stack of cash. Abandoned in the mid-'80s due to financial problems, producer Maripol Fauque rediscovered the film and cleaned it up in 1999. It was screened at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

A pair of free spirits are brought together under unlikely circumstances in this low-key independent comedy-drama. After a long night of drinking, Ray (Ivan Martin) finds himself stumbling across the roof of a loft in Soho. While shouting down an air vent, he hears a voice calling back and is introduced to Henrietta (Drea De Matteo), an artist whose eccentricities are a good match for his own. They spend the night together, but the two soon find that turning a one-night stand into a real relationship is going to be a lot harder than they expected. Sleepwalk was the first feature for writer and director James Savoca; the film had its world premiere at the 2000 South by Southwest Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Actor-turned-director Steve Buscemi follows up on his restrained 1996 directorial debut Trees Lounge (1996) with this gritty, understated prison drama. Twenty-one-year-old suburban kid Ron (Edward Furlong) got busted for dealing drugs and slapped with an especially severe jail sentence. Though he tries to keep a low profile at prison, he soon attracts unsavory attention of various sex-starved goons. Fearing rape, he appeals directly to Earl (Willem Dafoe), a fellow prisoner who runs the place like it was his own fiefdom. Though Ron's request is strictly against this rarified culture's baroque rules, Earl takes him under his wing, and soon he is a part of Earl's inner circle. Slowly Ron learns the breadth of Earl's power, ranging from the easy procurement of drugs to the violent dispatching of a prisoner who gets out of line. As Ron grows increasingly indebted to Earl, he wonders how he is expected to repay him. Yet Earl, who shows his fondness for the lad with fatherly tenderness counterbalanced with repressed yearning, never pushes his advantage. Other members of the cast include Tom Arnold as a salivating hill-billy and an almost unrecognizable Mickey Rourke as a cross-dressing prison queen. This film was highly praised at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Abel Ferrara directed this erotic thriller adapted by Ferrara and Christ Zois from a short story by science fiction author William Gibson (in his Burning Chrome collection). Global corporations rule the world, and corporate raider Fox (Christopher Walken) and his deputy X (Willem Dafoe) could pocket $100 million if they can get top scientist Hiroshi (Yoshitaka Amano) to defect from one corporation to another. Fox offers singer Sandii (Asia Argento) $1 million to seduce Hiroshi away from his wife, family, and employer. An affair develops between Sandii and X, while she studies facts about Hiroshi's life. She departs on her assignment, but betrayals ensue, with Fox and X soon becoming targets themselves. With opening credits in three languages (English, German, Japanese), the soundtrack features the score-composition debut of hip-hopper Schoolly D, music which plays over a blank screen at the wrap-up (since the film has no closing credits). This Gibson short story was a property once in development by director Kathryn Bigelow. The title story of Gibson's Burning Chrome collection was planned as the second Heavy Metal movie, intended for live-action and scripted but never filmed. Shown in competition at the 1998 Venice Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

David Dobkin made his feature directorial debut with this comedy thriller about an ordinary guy mistakenly viewed as a serial killer by the FBI. In small-town Mercer, Montana (population 1,536), easy-going gas station attendant Clay Bidwell (Joaquin Phoenix) endures a comical nightmare that gets underway when Clay's best buddy Earl (Gregory Sporleder) learns Clay slept with Earl's wife Amanda (Georgina Cates). Earl commits suicide as a horrified Clay watches. Amanda would rather see Clay in prison than have the local gossipers chatting about their affair, so to cover-up, Clay puts Earl's body into a faked auto accident. Clay then finds comfort with waitress Gloria (Nikki Arlyn), but Amanda kills Gloria, leaving Clay to dispose of another body. At the local bar, Clay is befriended by trucker Lester Long (Vince Vaughn), and they go fishing, hooking a corpse. Lester asks Clay to tell the cops he found it alone. The next victim is Amanda, stabbed 40 times. Clay tries to explain what's going on to the law -- Sheriff Mooney (Scott Wilson) and FBI agents Dale Shelby (Janeane Garofalo) and Reynard (Phil Morris) -- but he becomes the main suspect and is arrested, while serial killer Lester is on the loose.

In this combination caper comedy and offbeat romance, Emily (Alicia Silverstone) is a wealthy but petulant young woman desperate to get the attention of her millionaire father, Alexander Hope (Jack Thompson). In fact, she's so desperate that she decides to stage her own kidnapping; she sends a ransom note, ties herself up, and locks herself in the trunk of her BMW, waiting for daddy to come to the rescue; however, Emily's timing is a bit off, because ten minutes later, hunky car thief Vincent (Benicio Del Toro) steals the BMW with Emily still in it. Vincent and his partner in crime, Greg (Harry Connick Jr.), eventually discover the car's trunk has an unexpected surprise. When Emily is unable to convince them to help her with her scheme, she becomes a problem the carjackers can't get rid of, especially after Alexander refuses to pay her ransom, and his creepy right-hand man, Raymond (Christopher Walken), heads out to find her. Of course, losing 200,000 dollars in mob money is not making Vincent's life any easier, nor is having the emotionally problematic Emily fall in love with him. Excess Baggage was the first feature from Alicia Silverstone's production company First Kiss. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The debut feature from writer/director Lisa Krueger stars Scarlett Johansson and Aleksa Palladino as the titular Manny and Lo, orphaned teenaged sisters who avoid foster homes by living on the run, stealing food, and sleeping in random model homes. Older sister Lo is the rude, bossy, incompetent leader, and younger sister Manny is her thoughtful, realistic, logical underling. It quickly becomes apparent that Lo is pregnant and they won't be able to continue their wandering lifestyle of "keep moving and you won't get nailed." After a significant stage of denial, Lo goes to a hospital for an abortion and is denied. Quickly running out of options, Lo comes up with plan that seems ridiculous to the observant narrator Manny. Since they don't know anything about birthing babies, they kidnap Elaine (Mary Kay Place), a middle-aged woman dressed as a nurse who works in a maternity store. Together, the three women squat in an abandoned house in the woods so the disgruntled Lo can have her baby. Eventually, the owner of the house comes home and the captive Elaine resorts to a strange solution to the problem. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Director Wayne Wang and screenwriter Paul Auster had enough storylines and characters left over from their charming comedy Smoke to make another film, so they shot Blue In The Face immediately after Smoke was completed. The film once again centers on the Brooklyn Cigar Store and manager Auggie (Harvey Keitel), although most of the other characters are different. The store owner's frustrated wife Dot (Roseanne) is one of them, and one of the plotlines follows her attempts to seduce Auggie. Madonna, Michael J. Fox, Lily Tomlin, and Lou Reed (as himself) also put in appearances. Blue In The Face was shot without a complete script and presents a unique combination of distinctive performances, oddball characters, improvisations, and raffish scenes. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

A Brooklyn cigar shop is the setting for this drama from director Wayne Wang that interweaves the stories of several characters that have fractured family relationships in common. Harvey Keitel is Auggie Wren, poetic owner of the Brooklyn Cigar Company, a store that he considers the center of the world -- a place where all of humanity eventually parades through. One of his regular customers is Paul Benjamin (William Hurt), a writer and a broken shell of a man whose pregnant wife was shot and killed near the store. When Paul's life is saved one day by a young black man named Rashid (Harold Perrineau, Jr., the writer and his rescuer strike up a friendship and begin searching for Rashid's long-lost father (Forest Whitaker). At the store, Auggie is surprised by the appearance of Ruby (Stockard Channing), an ex-girlfriend who informs him that her pregnant, drug-addicted daughter Felicity (Ashley Judd) may also be his -- and is in dire need of help. Screenwriter Paul Auster based the script for Smoke on a 1990 short story he wrote for "The New York Times." He also wrote and directed the film's sequel (of sorts), Blue in the Face (1995). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

A gangster is looking to get away from crooked deals and double-crossing people but ends up in the movie business anyway in this comic crime story. Chili Palmer (John Travolta) is a Miami-based loan collector for the mob trying to collect a gambling debt. His assignment takes him to Hollywood to collect money from Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman), a mildly sleazy producer of low-budget horror movies. Although Chili intends to hurt Harry if necessary, he takes a certain liking to him and an even keener interest in Karen (Rene Russo), Harry's girlfriend, whom Chili recognizes from Harry's grade-B monster epics. It seems Harry has a script that he feels is Academy Award material, and he could get the project off the ground if he could get the right actor for the lead -- say, the well-respected but egocentric (and diminutive) Martin Weir (Danny DeVito). Chili thinks he has a feel for the movie business and decides to see what he can do to persuade Weir to get behind the project. Chili soon finds himself hip deep in the film industry, which at least puts him in contact with a higher grade of scumbags than he's used to. But Chili isn't the only criminal Harry's been dealing with; he's been obtaining financing from Bo Catlett (Delroy Lindo), a drug dealer with a highly uncertain temperament. An intelligently constructed crime story and a hilarious look at the absurdities of the film business, Get Shorty was based on the novel of the same name by Elmore Leonard; Leonard based Chili on a real-life former gangster of his acquaintance, though Chili's model never worked in Hollywood. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Fishing with John [TV Series]
Musician and independent film personality John Lurie hardly seems like the sort of guy who would host a TV show about fishing. But then again, Fishing With John was hardly a typical nature program; Lurie and guests such as Tom Waits, Dennis Hopper, and Matt Dillon take to the water in search of adventure but usually end up with something else altogether. Discover how to catch fish using cheese and a pistol with Jim Jarmusch, let Tom Waits teach you new ways to store your catch, and build an ice fishing shanty with Willem Dafoe in these surreal, dryly witty outdoor escapades. Fishing With John aired in the U.S. on the Independent Film Channel. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

John Lurie and The Lounge Lizards: Live in Berlin
This documentary highlights the jazz styling of John Lurie and the eight members of his band, The Lounge Lizards, as they perform fusion-style jazz in nightspots in the Latin quarter of Berlin. While the bulk of the film consists of musical numbers, the star does speak long enough to tell a political shaggy-dog story. Independent filmmaker Jim Jarmusch has cast the saxophone player in many of his films. Among the songs featured in his performances are an interpretation of John Coltrane's A Love Supreme and Bob Dylan's Rainy Day Women Nos. 12 & 35. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern play a pair of lovers on the run in David Lynch's surrealist road movie Wild at Heart. Cage's Sailor Ripley is a violent ex-convict with an Elvis Presley fixation who falls in love with Dern's Lula Pace Fortune, the daughter of a rich, but mentally unstable, Southern belle named Marietta (Diane Ladd, Dern's real-life mother). Just after Sailor is released from prison, where he was jailed for brutally killing one of Marietta's thugs, he and Lula take off on a wild cross-country trip, pursued by his parole officer, her mother, criminals, bounty hunters, and detectives. Along the way, Sailor and Lula have a lot of sex, share their pasts, share their respective obsessions for Elvis and The Wizard of Oz, and meet a lot of bizarre characters, including a seedy ex-marine (Willem Dafoe) who persuades Sailor to participate in a bank robbery. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Written and directed by the ever-unpredictable Jim Jarmusch, Mystery Train is comprised of three short anecdotes involving foreign tourists in Tennessee. Each story is set in a fleabag Memphis hotel which has been redressed as a "tribute" to Elvis Presley. Story one involves two Japanese tourists whose devotion to '50s American rock music blinds them to everything around them. Story two finds eternal victim Luisa (Nicoletta Braschi) sharing a room with stone-broke Dee Dee (Elizabeth Bracco) and having her problems solved by a spectral vision of the King. And story three offers the further misadventures of Dee Dee, her no-good boyfriend, and her dysfunctional family. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Father Maurice (Walter Matthau) is called on to perform an exorcism of a demon from a fat lady in this offbeat comedy. What emerges is Giuditta (Roberto Benigni) a narcissistic, fun-loving devil with a penchant for nonsensical sayings, and the devil attaches himself to Father Maurice for a series of comedy gags. Giuditta falls for the gambler Nina (Nicoletta Braschi) and impedes the priest's romantic progress with the beautiful Patrizia (Stefania Sandrelli). Maurice discovers that Nina and the expressionless Cusatelli (John Lurie) are two demons sent to retrieve the wayward Giuditta. Matthau and Benigni provide the majority of the laughs with Benigni doubling as director and devil. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Willem Dafoe plays Jesus Christ in this extraordinarily controversial adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis's novel. The film depicts a sometimes reluctant, self-doubting Jesus, gradually coming to accept His divinity and the inexorability of His ultimate fate. The much-maligned sex scene with Mary Magdalene (Barbara Hershey) occurs as an hallucination experienced by Jesus as he suffers on the cross. This particular sequence was what infuriated the film's most rabid critics, but in fact it is just one of many iconoclastic musings to be found in the film and its source novel. Equally volatile are the intimations that, as a carpenter, Jesus indifferently shaped the crucifixes for other condemned prisoners long before his own fate was sealed, and that Judas (Harvey Keitel) was literally manipulated into betrayal by a Christ whose preoccuption with his own destiny compelled him to "use" others. None of these departures from the normal interpretation of the scriptures are offered as any more than theory; as such, it was accepted as food for thought by the more open-minded clerics and Biblical scholars who recommended the film. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Police Story: Monster Manor
Not really a TV movie, Monster Manor was a two-hour installment of the brief 1988 revival of the old Police Story anthology series. The titular manor is an allegedly haunted mansion in the center of a large city. It is inhabited by a group of police officers who use the mansion as a "rave" site, where they can drink, smoke and party in their off-hours. Since the presence of these revelling cops is an open secret to the Underworld, a team of vice squad officers decide that Monster Manor would be an excellent "cover". Posing as another bunch of fun-loving cops, the vice operatives use the Manor as their headquarters while attempting to break up a thriving call-girl ring. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jim Jarmusch follows his groundbreaking Stranger Than Paradise with another rambling, character-driven film with a twisted sense of humor. Set in a seedy New Orleans summer, Down By Law details the meeting of three unlikely convicts and their just as unlikely escape. Zack (Tom Waits) is an out-of-work DJ who is accused of murder when a body is found in the trunk of a stolen car he was hired to drive across town. Jack (John Lurie) is a pimp set up for a fall by a competitor. These two sullen souls are locked in a cell with Roberto (Roberto Benigni), a cheerful Italian immigrant who happens to have killed a man. The chemistry between the members of this loosely bound "team" is fascinating: Zack and Jack are forever laughing at Roberto, yet they rely on his energy and good will to escape their dire situation. The three mismatched miscreants eventually bust out of jail and head into the Louisiana bayous. Tired and hungry, they separate to search for food: Waits goes one way, Lurie another, and the frightened Benigni decides to risk stepping into a ramshackle diner. Somehow or other, he winds up in the arms of gorgeous Italian girl Nicoletta Braschi -- and is even able to provide new clothes and escape routes for his astonished comrades! ~ John Voorhees, Rovi

A petite New Jersey housewife finds self-fulfillment through amnesia in this new wave comedy of errors set in New York's hip '80s downtown scene. Rosanna Arquette stars as Roberta, who turns to the personals for vicarious thrills after her four-year marriage to staid hot tub salesman Gary (Mark Blum) grows stale. Her favorite classified ads trace the romance of Jim (Robert Joy), a struggling musician, and Susan (Madonna), a SoHo vamp who's just narrowly escaped being murdered alongside one of her other boyfriends -- a gangster who recently stole some Egyptian jewelry. Through a series of complicated missteps, Roberta ends up losing her memory and convincing both herself and a broodingly handsome young man named Dez (Aiden Quinn) that she's the elusive, adventurous Susan. Soon, Roberta finds herself being romanced by Dez and pursued separately by her husband, Jim, Susan, and by a murderous mobster who's looking for the stolen jewels. For her second feature outing, which was partially inspired by Jacques Rivette's Celine and Julie Go Boating, director Susan Seidelman filled her cast with hipster extras, downtown personalities, and New York thespians. Notable faces include comedian Steven Wright; future indie mainstay John Turturro; future TV stars Michael Badalucco and Laurie Metcalf; punk singer Richard Hell, who also starred in Seidelman's Smithereens; and performance artist Ann Magnunson, who would star in the director's Making Mr. Right. The big dance-club sequence was filmed at Danceteria, the disco that helped launch Madonna's career. The scene, and the film, helped propel "Into the Groove," one of the singer's all-time club classics, into the charts even though it was actually a b-side to the single "Angel." ~ Brian J.

In Outlook email have used folders forever. Have 2 main folders: 1 for work, 1 for personal. Many subfolders (eg 100)
Can see the benefit of categories (tags) as can associate an email item with >1 category.
Have started using tags in other software: Evernote/internet browser/RSS feeds/financial program. Evernote has been my 1st software storing data where I have simplified folders (only 2..personal and work), and emphasized tags.
Also (separately from Outlook) have many files on Windows PC: My documents eg MS word/Excel/notepad etc. These are in folders. Is there any way to "tag" these items?
I like using folders for bookmarks in a browser. Simple to open multiple sites simultaneously eg "weekday morning-home" or "weekday-arrive at work".
Main decision right now is how to organize email in Outlook. I also use a Blackberry, and it does not appear that Outlook categories are shown for email on the Blackberry (they are for tasks). I guess that's not a huge deal, as there are other ways to search for emails on the Blackberry.
I'd like to have some standardization of tags/folders across different platforms to simplify life.

Getting Errors From MySQL?
Here are some common MySQL errors and their solutions:
Got error 28 from table handler
This means you are out of disk space. Either ask your host to give you more space, try to remove any backup tables, or remove old posts. Removing files from your FTP will not affect this error - only database-related data. It probably needs to be solved by your host.
Got error -1 from table handler
Typically, this means 28. It may mean that a different part of the hard drive is out of space, like the temporary partition. Your host has to fix this error.
Got error 135 from table handler or Can't open file:'something' (errno: 135) or Got error 127 from table handler
This is caused by an error in the table. By default, SMF attempts to automatically fix these, but it may not always be able. To fix this, you will need fix the table, usually with phpMyAdmin (check the table and select REPAIR from the options.)
Lost connection to MySQL server during query or Too many connections
This is something you should talk to your host about - it means something is wrong with your server(s).
Please remember that these errors are not from SMF, but from MySQL. We did not write MySQL, nor are we able to fix problems with it - that is either MySQL AB or your hosts responsibility.
It's also important to note that SMF does not officially work with MySQL 4.1.x or 5.0.x. If you have issues with these, we encourage you to report them so we can look into them - but they may or may not be SMF's fault.
