great baby sitterPros: Awesome, My 7 year old loves this game. He plays it for hours with only a few minor melt downs until he finally killed the worm. Cons: price as with all games way to expensive Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Fun game, challenging for kids and adults. Cons: None Other Thoughts: This was a Christmas present and it ended up showing up before it was supposed too, picked 3 day shipping and I had it in two. Did you find this review helpful? |
Best game for the Nintendo Wii yetPros: Fantastic Level designs. The fun platforming elements of the Super Mario games are presented very well. Excellent soundtrack. Excellent Graphics and art design for the Nintendo Wii. Cons: None whatsoever! Other Thoughts: This is an absolute must buy for any Nintendo Wii owner. Easily one of the best games this generation. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great Followup to a Fun GamePros: This game has more of the fun platforming gameplay that you'd expect from a Mario game. I also like the new map style navigation that is similar to the New Super Mario Brothers games. They also made it so the second player can be more useful. And let us not forget YOSHI!!! Cons: Might be a little hard for the youngsters or those with less dexterous fingers. Other Thoughts: It is amazing how much variety there is from level to level. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great PricePros: It was actually cheaper then Game Stop Cons: Nothing was really wrong I knew what to expect. Did you find this review helpful? |
Its ah Mario!Pros: Great Graphics (for the Wii), loads of gameplay hours and great fun for the young and old Cons: maybe more of a rental game? haven't really played it in some time Did you find this review helpful? |
Great Sequel!Pros: Another great Mario game! If you are a fan of Mario Galaxy or any other 3d Mario game, this is a must-buy. Cons: None Other Thoughts: This is a great game! Did you find this review helpful? |
Better, but still the samePros: If you like Mario, you will like this game. If you liked Mario Galaxy 1, you'll love 2. It's basically the same game except it's much better. The controls are smoother, the game is more polished, but it's still designed as a kiddy game. Some of it is pretty tough, but so far I haven't gotten to a level that was so frustrating I had to just walk away. Each level expects a few things from you: control, patience, and/or alert. The puzzles aren't by any means difficult, but some things require you to be observant to collect/unlock everything. Cons: Childish, sometimes slow, a little too easy although I'm only about halfway through the game so far. Other Thoughts: It's definitely a game worth playing if you're a fan of the genre or series. For hardcore players, it's a little too easy. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Awesome game! A must own! Cons: none Other Thoughts: newegg has the best price and free shipping 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Da da da du da DAH!Pros: It plays great, is loads of fun. Great eye candy, sounds are just as appealing. Neat levels and all sorts of things to do. I'm not a big fan of moving the controller all over the place and with a wii, it's part of the package so I'll have to get use to it. I bought it for my nephew though and I enjoy watching him play more than I desire to pick up the controller myself. Cons: He makes me use the second controller to help him freeze enemys? Okay, that is so not fun on my part! Other Thoughts: Mario is like Gold. It doesn't decline much in value and sometimes it even goes up! Is it worth fifty bucks? Depends on how much you like Mario! I like him much better than lots of other stuff I see my nephew play! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

The Director
The adorably off-kilter auteur Julie Delpy presents a sequel to that quintessential travel movie "2 Days in Paris" — this time in New York with Chris Rock as her escort.
The Picture
In "2 Days in New York," Delpy is kinder to Gotham than she was to her native Paris. "I'm not criticizing New Yorkers," she says, "more the art world, and living on top of each other."
The Look
Delpy's buddy Vanessa Seward, who threw that party in "2 Days in Paris," has done a capsule collection for A.P.C., bringing femininity to the French standard-bearer.

This is the issue of privacy -- and is concerned with keeping everything "open" to an interviewee beforehand.
If you're being "watched" during the interview (through a camera) by other people in a separate room -- do you absolutely want (need) to be aware of this before the interview -- or is it OK if you were told this afterwards?
In my current company...
During an interview session -- which is strictly "one interviewer and one interviewee" -- we have 2-3 employees setting in room right next to where the interview is going on -- watching the interview process on a large monitor. These employees then vote (yes/no) for the candidate and the management takes those votes as an input in its decisions.
Now, after all the interviews are complete, all the candidates are taken to the next room. They meet with the company employees and have casual chat about the company, work environment, management, etc. It is there that the employees tell them that they'd watched the interview -- that it went well (even if it didn't) -- and that there was no recording.
This "after interview gathering" with employees makes candidates relaxed and feel friendly -- and (so far) no candidate has showed any concern about the deemed privacy infringement.
Does this sound unacceptable to you?
NOTE: I am asking this ONLY in the context of a "job interview for programmers (and software engineers)". Period. Do not generalize it.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Time is running out before the NHL has to cancel regular-season games and team owners and players aren't even at the bargaining table.
The sides broke off talks Tuesday after only two hours and it's hard to find optimism anywhere that another hockey season wouldn't be marred by yet another labor dispute - just seven years after a full season was lost to a lockout.
Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly told The Associated Press in an email on Wednesday that he wasn't prepared to discuss next steps. He said the league has no timetable for when it will start calling off games.

Hurricane Flossie, the only intense Northeast/Central Pacific storm of the year, simply refused to die or to behave in any predictable fashion whatsoever. The storm rapidly intensified over waters that weren't all that warm surprising, to say the least and then remained a category 4 storm for two full days in some ways even more surprising. As I wrote at the time: "Pretty much every six-hour forecast has predicted that Flossie should weaken ... and Flossie stubbornly refuses to comply." Luckily, the storm eventually did weaken and passed south of Hawaii's Big Island.

sectionFor systems using file formats like ELF and COFF, when gdb loads a new object file it will look for a special section named '.debug_gdb_scripts'. If this section exists, its contents is a list of names of scripts to load.
gdb will look for each specified script file first in the current directory and then along the source search path (see Specifying Source Directories), except that $cdir is not searched, since the compilation directory is not relevant to scripts.
Entries can be placed in section .debug_gdb_scripts
for example, this GCC macro:
/* Note: The "MS" section flags are to remove duplicates. */ #define DEFINE_GDB_SCRIPT(script_name) \ asm("\ .pushsection \".debug_gdb_scripts\", \"MS\",@progbits,1\n\ .byte 1\n\ .asciz \"" script_name "\"\n\ .popsection \n\ ");
Then one can reference the macro in a header or source file like this:
DEFINE_GDB_SCRIPT ("my-app-scripts.py")
The script name may include directories if desired.
Note that loading of this script file also requires accordingly configured
auto-load safe-path
(see Auto-loading safe path).
If the macro is put in a header, any application or library using this header will get a reference to the specified script.

About Me Parent
Comments about York Wall Coverings RoomMates Cars - Lightening McQueen Peel & Stick Giant Wall Decal:
I was disappointed by the product because it came in a package that made it wrinkle! The manufacturer should consider the packaging, instead of using a square casing may be consider a round casing, or roll-up the decal so it does not wrinkle.

Big and bright
By Jeanette
from VA
I love this decal, its a big size and great addition to the room. However, it started to peel off the wall hours after I stuck it on. I tried to put tape behind it but that only made it worse. Still trying to figure out how to keep it from peeling and falling off.

Crews from the Ohio Department of Transportation - District 9 will continue to patrol and treat the state highway system during the evening and late-night hours as a winter storm progresses through the state.
Currently, routes in Adams, Brown, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross and Scioto counties are clear and wet; however, ice may form quickly as the temperature drops throughout the evening.
In addition to the potential for ice, light rain is likely to change to freezing rain, and snow is forecasted during the evening hours.
Although ODOT crews will continue patrolling and treating routes throughout the district as needed, motorists are reminded use safe driving tips. In addition to using driver safety tips, motorists are asked to give ODOT crews room to work.
A snowplow operator's field of vision is restricted, and they can't always see other drivers on the roads. It is important that motorists keep their distance and watch for sudden stops.
For more safe driving tips and statewide road condition information, visit ODOT's web site at www.buckeyetraffic.org.

The Big Ten Conference on Monday revealed a series of changes prompted by the addition of Nebraska to the conference roster, including new logos and names for the new divisions. The Cornhuskers are set to join the league next summer.
"When we announced football division alignments in September, other associated decisions had not yet been made," said Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany. "We wanted to take some time to listen, carefully consider and make choices that would best honor our history and traditions, reflect our core values and characteristics, and tell our story. We involved many thoughtful, dedicated professionals, and we listened to many ideas from our member schools, alumni and fans."
In addition to the new logo, developed by the design firm Pentagram, the conference announced its two divisions will be called Legends (Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Northwestern) and Leaders (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin). Some variations of the logo take the divisions into account.
" 'Legends' is a nod to our history and to the people associated with our schools who are widely recognized as legends – student-athletes, coaches, alumni and faculty," Delany said. " 'Leaders' looks to the future as we remain committed to fostering leaders, the student-athletes who are encouraged to lead in their own way for the rest of their lives, in their families, in their communities and in their chosen professions. We're proud of our many legends and even prouder of our member institutions that develop future leaders every day."
The league also created 18 awards to honor its top football student-athletes, named after Big Ten greats like Joe Paterno, Harold Edward "Red" Grange, Gerald Ford and Archie Griffin. For a complete list of the awards, their purpose and namesakes, click here.
"These trophies will honor our legends and leaders for generations to come," Delany said. "The names on these trophies are fitting tributes to the hundreds of thousands of student-athletes and coaches whose hard work and dedication have contributed to the legacy of the Big Ten Conference over the past 115 years."

Born: February 5, 1971, Boonville, Missouri
Sara Lynn Evans was born February 5, 1971, and raised on a farm near New Franklin, Missouri as the oldest girl amongst seven children. Music has always been a part of her life and by age five was singing every weekend in her family's band. When she was sixteen, she began performing at a nightclub near Columbia, Missouri, a gig that lasted two years. She moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1991 with the goal of becoming a country artist. Songwriter Harlan Howard heard Sara as she sung a demo of one of his songs, "Tiger By the Tail" at County Q Studios**, and decided she should sing his music.

Sara Lynn Evans (born February 5, 1971) is an American country singer and songwriter. For her entire career, she has been signed to RCA Records Nashville.
Evans' debut, Three Chords and the Truth, did not produce a Top 40 hit on the Hot Country Songs charts.

I find I'm in the same end-user boat. I've used KDE since I don't know when and I used to recommend it to anyone who would listen but it's got to the point that even though I mostly still use KDE I would never offer to install it for anyone else again. I am almost desperately looking for a suitable Qt replacement, have been for a couple of years. The only things that keep me using it are Kwin and Akregator. The main argument I used to defend my obsessive use of KDE was Kmail but I swapped that out for Thunderbird a year ago and with it's conversation add-on I don't think I'll be going back to Kmail. Also, I've got an 8Gb i7 laptop and it's not enough for long running KDE and apps, it's need at least 16Gb ram to be able to leave all apps running all the time without swapping. That's crazy.
My older sister is a classic case, she depends on me to help her with her laptop (hence windows is not an option) which has had KDE since about v4.4 so I've had a good opportunity to witness a novice user deal with it and I have to say, the promise of a usable and stable OS with a future, has not eventuated. Every update creates a different set of small problems that a non-techie has no hope of solving. That's partly distro related (Kubuntu) and partly KDE at fault but from her point of view it's that "linux thing" is not working again whereas all her friends Windows7 laptops "just work", and never crash these days.
From an outsiders non-dev point of view: if KDE user and developer adoption is not growing at a significantly faster pace than it has been for the past 2 years then the core team should have a good long look at their strategy and consider cutting the OS in half, isolate the core that is really important, eject the rest to playground, and seriously focus on getting the core working 100% and not waste any effort on non-essential part. The OS is simply too big for the number of people involved. I feel the premature run to v4.0 so impacted end-user adoption that the overall project has never recovered, and maybe never will. So sad for my favourite desktop.
I personally want a HTML5 desktop, something I feel I can modify and have control over. Perhaps a Qt5/QML hybrid based on webOS in September.

Reviews & ratings
We have been several times to the Hampshire Hog and have loved it each time. The food is imaginative and made with best quality ingredients, the service is attentive, laid back and good fun and the atmosphere is buzzy and urban. We and our teenage offspring are delighted this restaurant opened in Hammersmith.

This has settled down to to a good local, great garden, lovely staff, best bloody Mary in west London.
Jazz brunches have been great- good to have a local that serves good beer as well good food!jimmie Tue Aug 7 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
Service fine. Food overpriced. Portions small without the quality to justify size. House rose warm, sharp and vinegary. Live locally- great setting and building- really wanted it to be great and come here loads. Won't sadly.

We've been to this gastropub 3 times now, wanting to be impressed by the food as it is a beautifully decorated place, with a good concept, and the atmosphere is great, however the food has disappointed each time. A few examples from our last visit - the risotto was way too garlicky, and didn't seem to be 'properly' made in the slow-cooked manner (not creamy-sticky like good risotto should be, just soupy rice), the chicken and chorizo was almost unbearably salty, the gnocchi was also pretty salty and slightly burned. To top it all off, the service was terrible - we were left nursing our finished dinner plates for about 25 minutes before we had to ask for them to be cleared away, so by this point we had gone off the idea of dessert and made for a quick exit. The Anglesea Arms just round the corner beats it hands down every time.

I had heard great reviews and so my husband and I looked forward to a lovely Sunday lunch there last weekend. Unfortunately we didn't get as far as being seated. When I did intercept a waitress to ask if it was ok to have a look at the garden, she didn't even raise a smile or to say that she would be along to see us shortly. The garden was pleasant enough but noisy with children running around and we had to step over a couple of dogs en route! So we came back inside, found what looked like a lovely table and I approached another waiter to ask if it was ok to take a seat. He too was busy and asked us to wait while he tended to another order. 2 minutes was enough of a wait. We were clearly in everyones way – two unnecessary customers – so feeling very uncomfortable, we left and headed for the nearest restaurant on the same strip, the Mahdi, an Iranian restaurant which was extremely welcoming, and the food was wonderful.

I booked The Pantry at the Hampshire Hog for a party (drinks, canapes) of 25 people. I couldn't be more pleased with how it went; the manager (Joss) got in touch with me right away and was very proactive in helping make the arrangements, and staff on the night were excellent. Wine and canapes were great too. I really liked this pub, it's nicely laid out and decorated, good atmosphere and (so far) not too crowded. The Pantry was a great space for a party too, semi-private, just right. Based on my experiences, I'd say the teething troubles reported in the review have been overcome.

We loved the Hampshire Hog. Visiting London for the weekend, we were looking for a relaxed gastropub with good food and were not dissapointed. The atmosphere is friendly and busy. We had their excellent pork plate (my only complaint was that they could not make the plate for 3 people --only 2 or 4 portions). Then we had steak and prok belly, prepared simply and cooked well. The wine selection was good for the food served, and the sommelier had real enthusiasm and knowledge once we started to discuss.

Although i was expecting a gastropub, the hampshire hog is a delightful restaurant with a pub feel to it. We went for dinner last night and was welcomed by engaging staff and polite service. The food was yummy, especially the sharing starters. I enjoyed my main which was duck leg confit, however i do feel that there could be more choices. Overall i would recommend this place for dinner or even a casual drink. I look forward to going back.

Having walked past this place every day on my way to work I decided to finally go in for dinner the other night. I was a little sceptical after some of the comments below but I can only sing praises for the place! The atmosphere was relaxed but staff were attentive (our waiter was charming) and the interior is warm but fresh. My partner and I shared the Grand Selection followed by the Cod and Steak. The starter was delicious and presented beautifully and the meat and fish for the main were cooked to perfection. Wine list has a great selection and the cocktail I had was delicious. Will definitely be returning again soon to this sparkling gem!

I have been to the Hog three times now and just LOVE it. The old Ruby Grand which I always walked straight passed is now completely changed. The Hog is light and friendly. The staff are great and love kids. Food is delicious and its just what we needed in the area.

OK I am behind on my blogging…. Munchkin just celebrated her 4 1/2 birthday so this is OBVIOUSLY late! But it was a blast, so I felt like I should share it with you.
Munchkin went back and forth about what she wanted to do for her Birthday party. She wanted a pool party, or a Build-a Bear party, or a gymnastics party…. the list went ON! We finally settled on a small party at our house. The theme… FAIRIES!
I instantly popped over to Pinterest the land of everything! There are a MILLION ideas there (even a few of my own!). I also checked out Disney Fairies and there were LOTS of cute ideas on their too!
Here are is what we ended up with for Munchin's special day!
Even though Munchkin is a little girl she invited several boys. We picked two colors to focus, blue as an addition to the main color, her FAVORITE, purple.
I always try and buy the bulk of the decor in colors instead of the 'theme'. This saves a TON of money. I usually pick up the small cake plates and one pack of napkins
The adorable Paper Poms came from Paper White Designs. The beautiful paper straws are also from Paper White Designs all the kids LOVED them. I found some silver frames at the Dollar Store and printed a couple of silhouettes of Tinker Bell on color coordinating card stock. Tip: Pick easy to cut images. I was SOOO glad I stuck with easy ones.
Make your Own Fairy Houses:
I found this cute idea in a Family Fun magazine. I couldn't find the correct size cups in paper so I ended up with foam instead. We decided on these colors because they were 'Fairy-like' and gender neutral. I found a multipack of Fairies and they fit into the houses. I cut the door from the cup. I spray painted both parts and then glued them!
Fairy Dust:
I found these little bottles and corks at Hobby Lobby. I bought a bottle of sand (Hobby Lobby) and some packets of glitter to add to it from the Dollar Store! Each kiddo picked their packet of glitter and their sand color. They helped me dump the sand and glitter into the bottle with the help of a funnel. We glued the cork with a bit of hot glue and glued the tags around the top. I made the tags simple but they looked great! I would suggest gluing the corks because I think they would be very tempted to sprinkle fairy dust otherwise!
Lunch for Fairies:
Munchkin wanted Hotdogs as her main food item. Another very important part for her is ALWAYS fruit, so we made Fruit Wands. I took kebob skewers and cut the fruit to fit. We used a star cookie cutter to make the tops. Fairy wing toast was a bit hit too! I just toasted the bread, spread jelly and cut up some fruit!
Marshmallows dunked in white chocolate and purple sugar!
The Caterpillars in Cocoons were hot dogs in crescent rolls.
For her Birthday cake her fabulous Aunt J made a cool Tink topper out of paper that we stuck into the cake. Munchkin is known for asking for tricky cake flavors. This year… WATERMELON. I found this recipe on Pinterest and it is AWESOME! It tasted amazing too! I covered it in purple marshmallow fondant. We found some sugar butterflies (by: Wilton) and added those for an even more Fairy-Feel.
I made a simple punch with pink lemonade and some berries. It went over very well with ALL the kiddos!
Goodie Bags:
I try to avoid the traditional bag when possible. This was fun and I think the girls loved it! For our two boys we bought trains.
Found this wall cling at the Dollar Tree. We cut our purple fairy wings and played "Pin the Wings on the Fairy".
As I mentioned before we always as that friends who come to our parties bring gifts for a place we as a family have chosen to donate to in honor of our kiddos's birthday. Munchkin wanted to help a dear friend who has a daughter battling cancer. After several calls we decided to put out the word that we were collecting gift cards to be used at the cancer center where she was being treated. The gift cards are given to the kids throughout their treatment for birthdays, families in need and special days.
Munchkin collected nearly $800 in cards from our family and friends! She LOVED this and to this day talks about how much we helped Maya and the other children at the center.
You can follow Maya's Journey here Healing Maya or here HealingMaya.org
We had an awesome day celebrating our sweet little 4 year old! Happy 4th Birthday Munchkin!!!

Manning (also known as Manny) has been a missing piece to the puzzle of my life. For a majority of my life I have been suffering with anxiety and depression, and I had very little forms of comfort. Then along came Manny. Manny has truly turned the phrase 'puppy love' into 'kitty love.' He is truly one of my best friends, if a cat can be a best friend, or maybe a partner in crime. When I come home from school I get so excited because I know my little man will be waiting at the door for me. Manny has truly stolen my heart. He is a blessing to our family and I thank God and the Animal Humane Society for him.

Year of Release : 1998
Stars : Edward Furlong (Pecker), Christina Ricci (Shelly), Mary Kay Place (Joyce), Martha Plimpton (Tina), Brendan Sexton III (Matt), Lauren Hulsey (Little Chrissy), Jean Schertler (Memama), Mark Joy (Jimmy), Lili Taylor (Rorey Wheeler), Mink Stole (Precinct Captain), Bess Armstrong (Dr. Klompus), Patricia Hearst (Lynn Wentworth)
John Waters has to be one of the oddest auteurs in the history of American cinema. Here is a man with an undeniably gifted, uncanny sense of humor and a reckless streak that has redefined what can be shown on-screen, who has spent his entire career offending as many people as he possibly can. Quite often, his offensive work has also been brilliant satire. And, even when it isn't on that level, it's still good, trashy fun if you leave your scruples at the door and don't mind watching a 300-pound transvestite consume dog feces.
Waters' output has slowed considerably in the last 20 years, and many of his recent films have been tamer, PG-rated fare. However, his latest film, "Pecker," is a move back in the direction of the raunchier, more wild Waters style. In this film, Waters, a self-proclaimed "fame hag," has made a pot-shot ode of his own to sudden stardom and all its misery. Unfortunately, while "Pecker" should mark the return of a master to his best form, it instead shows that Waters' comic sensibilities seemed to have dulled with the years, and his ability to use "I can't believe he just showed us that" humor has been usurped by his own descendants, younger filmmakers like the Farrelly Brothers, Mike Judge, and those guys behind the vulgar kids of "South Park."
In my opinion, Waters has done his best work when skewering middle class America in films such as those that make up his so-called "Bourgeois Trash Trilogy": "Polyester" (1981), "Hairspray" (1987), and "Cry-Baby" (1990), all of which take place in his home town of Baltimore. Waters has a sledgehammer way of making the normal abnormal by populating everyday locations with a cast of bizarre characters that are too unreal not to exist. You think there's no way these people could be fictional because no one's imagination is that weird. Well, Waters' is. In "Pecker," he does something similar by using the titular character's penchant for photographing everything he sees as a means to show the bizarre underworld that exists beneath the thin fabric of contemporary American life. There's a vulgar side to everything, and Waters revels in it.
However, half-way through the film, Pecker becomes the toast of the pompous Manhattan art scene, and the movie aims its sights at the silly, pedantic world of bourgeoisie artistic excess and its tendency to catapult people to sudden fame and fortune for a series of gritty photographs. Waters wants to spear those black turtle neck-wearing, goateed, Martini-drinking, prim and proper New Yorkers who go into the Whitney Art Museum, take a look at a pile of discarded beer cans, and praise it for being a modern masterpiece of pain and anger--basically, all those people who are the opposite of his own, wonderfully kitschy self. A worthy cause, no doubt, but as someone once noted, it's hard to satirize something that's already a satire of itself. And, if anything is a satire of itself, it's the New York art scene.
Edward Furlong stars as Pecker, and he plays him as an innocent naïf who unwittingly ruins the lives of all his friends and family once his photos make him and all of them famous. It is sometimes hard to believe these people can consider their lives ruined by Pecker's success when you look at the lives they lead: Pecker's girlfriend (Christina Ricci) is the loud, rules-obsessed owner of a laundromat; his mother (Mary Kay Place) outfits homeless people with bizarre fashions for pennies at her thrift store; his father (Mark Joy) runs a bar that's losing money because everyone is going to The Pelt Room, the fully nude strip club across the street ("Pubic hair and liquor together are illegal," he asserts); his older sister (Martha Plimpton) works as a bartender as a gay male strip club called The Fudge Factory; his younger sister (Lauren Hulsey) is an obsessive sugar freak; his grandmother (Jean Schertler) is a lovable nut who thinks her Virgin Mary statue "miraculously" speaks (Waters loves Virgin Mary jokes); and his best friend (Brendan Sexton III) is a compulsive thief. Bizarre as they are, in the crazy version of Baltimore that exists only in Waters' films, these people are right at home.
Whats wrong with "Pecker" is the fact that none of this is particularly funny. Crazy characters in and of themselves are not humorous; it's the situations they are placed in and their reactions to those situations that generate the laughs. In "Pecker," most of the situations are so greasy and depressing that even the bizarre sight of watching the infamous Patty Hearst self-consciously rearranging her breasts in front of a mirror falls flat.
None of the characters invite any kind of identification to speak of, with the exception of Pecker himself. However, Furlong has not yet grown into the fine actor he promised as a youth in "Terminator 2" (1991) and "American Heart" (1993). He seems to be at an awkward stage where he should come off as a young man, but still looks, sounds, and acts like a confused kid. He has the right innocent look for the part, but he doesn't have enough vitality to hold the center of the film (he's no Divine, that's for sure). Furlong simply doesn't make the character interesting enough to truly grab the viewer's attention, and since he's the most normal (he even has a conscience!), he also lacks the bizarre angle.
Waters throws in just about everything but the kitchen sink in an attempt to get the movie's pulse up. Most of the humor is more sex-related than scatological, with one gratuitous close-up of a woman's pubic hair that comes and goes so quickly, you're not sure what you saw until it shows up as one of Pecker's photos. It says a great deal about the film when even a shocking close-up of genitalia still isn't enough to get it moving. Instead, "Pecker" merely drags along, coming to its close in a kind of orgiastic celebration of everything not high class. Waters has a grand statement to make here, but his vehicle of choice simply isn't enough to make it worth caring about.
