Millions (2004)

IMDB rating: 7.20

Plot: The UK is about to switch its currency from Pounds to Euros, giving a gang a chance to rob the poorly-secured train loaded with money on its way to incineration. But, during the robbery, one of the big bags falls literally from the sky on Damian’s playhouse, a 5-year old given to talking to saints. The boy then starts seeing what the world and the people around him are made of. Ethics, being human and the soul all come to the forefront in this film.

Directors: Boyle Danny

Actors: Etel Alexander Nathan,McGibbon Lewis Owen,Phillips Leslie,Nesbitt James,Fulford Christopher,Quigley Pearce,Armstrong Alun,Cilenti Enzo,Memarzia Nasser,Kirkham Harry,Macarthy Cornelius,Agboke Kolade,Crime,Family,Drama,Comedy,

what do you think of my plot premise?
Living on Earth there is an underground society, banished from their dimension millions of years ago. The reason for their banishment was a war between two rival factions and in an attempt to save civilisation they were exiled to Earth to sort out their problems. Now, some live among us, trying to forget their roots, while others continue the fight that got them exiled in the first place. Both sides are now searching for humans with special ‘gifts’ to help them in their battle against the nemesis.
That is where a 16 year old boy, David Hlossen, comes in…


I think it sound really good!!!!!!! But, sounds somehow familiar……I dont know why
xStellagirlx | Jan 15, 2010


I like the complexity with the war between rival factions and being sent to Earth to sort things out. It sounds interesting, and I’d probably flip through and read it if it was the blurb of a book.
Plenty of these things have been seen before. People from another dimension? Check. Secret society? Check. Exiled secret society? Check. People with powers or "gifts"? Check.
This doesn’t mean these things are bad. They’ve been done lots of times before because they work. Written well, they become tropes, not cliches, so run with formula, but feel free to tweak it to make it your own. ;)
The whole ’special chosen kid with gift thing’ is a staple fantasy/sci-fi plot that has been done lots of times. I’ve read loads of books with this premise, and IMHO, it’s tiring, but that’s just me being a jaded reader. ;) It can still work, /if/ it’s well written.
Nothing | Jan 15, 2010


Cool idea, but the special talent kid is kind of boring unless its some really extraordinary gift that hasn’t been used before like suppose he has sonic sound waves and can sing people to sleep. Can be really interesting if presented well. By the way if you really do write the story please send it to me to read. I won’t copy or anything because I’m a writer too.

Should i report it to the police?
see i was at malaysia and alot of people was selling pirated DVD’s and CD’s (eg:alvin and the chipmunks 2,2012,the princess and the frog)and they say it is ok to take it overseas.if i call i’m afraid that the police says its a prank call.Should i call?


the police will not care. i think they take bribes.
BB | Jan 14, 2010


lol please dont waste there time with such call.. They will probably laugh..
Tony R | Jan 14, 2010


i agree to the first answer…they know about that…maybe the police is supporting the vendors and taking some bribes but dont take it abroad if you’re flying somewhere outside your country…custom officer might hold you if do that thing in another country…
nikkO | Jan 14, 2010


Don’t call the police. it really depends on if you wanna do it. but i think if you do actually call… they’ll probably just think it’s a lame joke, or not take you seriously
Samurai | Jan 14, 2010


See, I was at Thailand and pretty much everything there is pirated. There isn’t much you can do about it. In fact, I was at a stall when they started packing up saying "Quickly, the police are coming!". Twas rather amusing.
Lily G | Jan 14, 2010


The first answer is absolutely correct. They do it in Shanghai too. I saw 2 police officers walk right by a kiosk. They could give a Spider Monkey’s A** about it. In fact, police walk right by kiosks selling pirated crap.
It finally happened! | Jan 14, 2010


Call no one. It’s a huge issue and their already aware of situation.
Alexsa | Jan 14, 2010


In Malaysia, there is no use calling the police. Save your breath.

PLIZ RATE MY FRIEND'S NOVEL ATTEMPT…(he's too shy to get a professional opinion so am going to get it 4 him)?
Ok.

So here’s the deal…

My pal’s always holed up in his room writing what he claims will one day be a best seller. Of course, being the close friend that I am, it is my honor bound duty to laugh and jest each time he starts to get passionate about his writing. But just this once, I got curious and red the darn thing.

Not wanting to influence your opinion, suffice it to say that am posting it here for a reason…

It’s kinda sci-fi so bear with me (or him whichever the case might be…)
The novel’s about this girl who grows up to be a world renowned hit man by the age of 12, and is set in 2074 AD Japan Earth. In his book, he begins her journey when she’s just 4 years old and goes into amazing detail, documenting the factors that would lead an otherwise normal girl into the cold emotionless world characterized by her chosen profession. And how she holds her own against cybernetically enhanced competition with all sorts of upgrades and gizmos, to emerge on top.

Below is a short excerpt depicting a short interlude in her life where her now emotionally-dead 10 year old self witnesses a cold rainy Christmas outside a rural household( gotta love the delivery, seeing as I could only nick his rough draft and not the proofread updated version…)

When someone asks you "what religion are you"…why not simply say "Love"? Isn't all really about Love?
.
Don’t all faiths, beliefs, religions promote and focus on Love? All the great "masters", teachers, Christ, God, Buddha, Rabbis, Gurus, etc. teach same core message and encourage Love?

When asked your religion or faith, why not answer and say "Love".
.
.
Yes, okay. If forgot to include in that grouping.."Agnostic". Too many to list so listed some and added "etc".
And, yes, I used the word "religion". Used the word in general sense. It’s not uncommon for another to ask "what religion are you"? That’s why I used the common, catch-all phrase "religion".
Challanging to ask certain questions that don’t offend some…Statement of disclaimer covered?
I love all and respect all faiths. Question still asked. Thanks much.
.


I tell people that i don’t have a religion, but a relationship.

saved_by_grace | Jan 08, 2010


Because I don’t have a religion.

Are you saying people without a religion are love-less?
Xela20 | Jan 08, 2010


When someone asks me "What religion are you?", I simply say it doesn’t matter.

ATI and Nvidia cards in one system: Lucid demo Hydra 200
23.09.09

Last year I reported on the Lucid Hydra 100. For details on what Hydra is and how it works, check that post.

This week Lucid is announcing an upgraded solution, the Hydra 200. Hydra allows two video cards to simultaneously be used in a single system.

Before clicking the Back button, yes I know Nvidia and ATI have been doing this for years with their SLI and Crossfire solutions, respectively.

The twist here is that the Lucid technology will allow you to mix and match both ATI and Nvidia cards. According to Lucid, you’ll even be able to use cards from different manufacturers like EVGA and Sapphire. Lucid says that as long the cards are PCI-Express-compatible and support Direct X 9, they will work and provide an additive performance increase when paired together.

The first motherboard to implement the technology will be MSI’s Big Bang in late October 2009, using Intel’s P55 platform.

From there, we’ll see how well it works out in the real world. With so many different configurations to test for, there are bound to be a few Lucid’s testing team missed, as diligent as I’m sure they were.

Also, how much performance ncrease will you actually see? It had a demo PC running Bioshock and FEAR 2, but to be honest it was difficult to see a noticeable difference between using just one card or both.

It will be interesting to see how ATI and Nvidia respond to this as well, and can they get OEMs like Dell to adopt the technology?

The technology is exciting if it actually works in the real world and they can get enough support from manufacturers and OEMs. I guess we’ll have a clearer picture in a few weeks when Big Bang drops.

Girls…embarrassing pantyhose problem…?
So our winter school uni consists of your standard plaid blue and red skirt, a blue sweater thingy, black sheer to waist (I think to hide any ride up or anything like that) pantyhose and black dress heel shoes. My problem comes with the pantyhose.

Every morning, I have to struggle to get them on, and I can’t tell you how many ******* pairs of pantyhose I’ve ripped or ruined because I have to strugle and fight, lying down on my bed, and getting all sweaty and gross. Keep in mind that the pantyhose are the right size for my legs and I’m not fat. I’m getting tired of getting to school and constantly having to adjust them cause they’re too low and stuff or twisted around my legs ughh!!!!

So my first question, how can I make them easier to slide on? My friend (who can do it in like five seconds, wtf) suggested buying some talcum powder, mixing it with some baby oil and lotion, and lathering that on my legs to lube up my legs. Seems like it would work.

My second question is: if that won’t work, can somebody PLEASE describe a detailed process of how to put pantyhose on properly?


get some bigger ones…. they may be the right size for you but bigger ones will be much eaisier to get on…….
Rebecca | Jan 03, 2010


Clearly they are not the right size, buy a bigger number, then roll them on ur hand, and release as u go up. It is in the movies all the time.
Luli | Jan 03, 2010


No!!! Lotion will make them all greasy and messy and then, when the whole mess dries, it will be all sticky and probably smell really badddeeee. JUST ROck your hips as you pull them up!!!
Luv My New Uggs! | Jan 03, 2010


ok here’s a trick. take one of the legs (with your hands on either side) and bunch it up so that you’re holding the part where you put your toes in. put it over your toes and your heel. repeat with the other foot. now you should have the tights bunched around your ankles, which if you grab part of it, makes it easier to pull it further up your leg. then you can stand up and pull the waistband to where it needs to go and pull the rest of the bunch up so that the waistband is on comfortably and not stretched.
cici | Jan 03, 2010


I agree with cici, that’s the quickest way to get them on!
:) | Jan 03, 2010


the lotion will make them greasy and sticky it might also white powder might show up on them. i think the best way to put them on is to sit on a bed. then hold the pantyhose by the waist band and decide which leg you want to start with. start with half the waist band( the side above the right/left leg) and bunch them up all the way to the toes. pull your knee into your chest and slide the pantyhose up to your knees then take the other leg and bunch it up and pull it up to your knees. get of your bed and stand up then pull the pantyhose up to your mid thigh on both legs. if you think there is enough material to pull up all the way to your waist go ahead and pull them up all the way. if there isn’t enough material start at your ankles and pull up any extra material do this until you get all the way to your thighs on both legs and then you should be able to pull them up to your waist.
also if you start to get little runs or tears on your pantyhose you don’t have to throw them away just get a little clear nail polish and put some over them ripped areas. this will prevent them from getting any bigger.
