Taxi Driver
|
IMDB rating: 8.60 Plot: Vietnam vet Travis Bickle is 26, a loner in the mean streets of New York City, slipping slowly into isolation and violent misanthropy. In solving his insomnia by driving a yellow cab on the night shift, he grows increasingly disgusted by the low-lifes that hang out at night: "Someday a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets." His touching attempts to woo Betsy, a Senator's campaign worker, turn sour when he takes her to a porn movie on their first date. He even fails in his attempt to persuade child prostitute Iris to desert her pimp and return to her parents and school. Driven to the edge by powerlessness, he buys four handguns and sets out to assassinate the Senator, heading for the infamy of a 'lone crazed gunman'... |

Muslims, do you think this is fair?
A Norwegian newspaper has recently published a few Internet links that lead to the Muhammad cartoons.
As a result, 1000 Muslim taxi drivers had blocked the central roads in Oslo with their cars between 2 am and 4 am.
Next week, the Muslims are planning to block lots of roads throughout Oslo during the rush hours, making it hard for people to go to work and come back home.
Do you think it's fair that such a demonstration, which has not gained permission by the police, blocks the streets and stops traffic for innocent people because of one single newspaper?
@eternal - okay, so an entire city with over half a million in population, has to face these consequences because of the actions of 3-4 people working for a single newspaper?
Is that fair to you?
@Victor W - I never said I agree with the Muhammad cartoons.
All I'm saying is that retaliation like this doesn't help the Muslim's cause and only serves as punishment to innocent people who had nothing to do with the cartoons.
So please stop your embarrassing assumptions about me.
@Zakariah - No, but that does not justify ruining an entire city's transportation. There are other ways of dealing with this besides ruining the day for thousands of people who have nothing to do with the cartoons.
@Zeeshan - I agree with you that Islam should be respected. But the Muslim population should also respect the Norwegian people. Respect is a mutual thing.
It is lack of respect to block the roads for innocent people so they won't make it to their job. Why should the innocent people have to suffer?
join the real world since when do muslims consider whether or not their actions are fair they only care about themselves. The locals should slash the tyres of these taxis

I think it is over reacting as usual, but at least this time it wasn't violent.
Butterfly ???????? | Feb 06, 2010
theres muslims in oslo?!
and yes fair don't insult religous beliefs and nobody insults the legals system.
edit: yes true, but the message is muslim will not take to your jokes like christians and jews because next thing you know our prophet will be mocked on tv day in and day out.
eternal | Feb 06, 2010
I think it's not fair to the public.
But I think if the Norwegian Government are caring enough to its own people, they can just issue an apology and directed the newspaper to stop making fun on religious sensitivities.
Unless your entire government feel that making fun on other people's sensitivities is much more important than public like you, then you are barking at the wrong tree & surely I feel sorry for a naive Norwegian cirizen like you.
Victor W | Feb 06, 2010
Is it fair for a newspaper to publish links it KNOWS will cause offense.?
Ask yourself how the message of Islam has been preserved without graven images of God or the prophet?
Look how all other faiths have become diluted with idolatry because they don't preserve these things.
There are more important things in life than the rat race.
Zakariah | Feb 06, 2010
In The Name of Allah, The Creator and the Ruler of the Worlds
Think of a situation like this... suppose in a Muslim majority country, the Muslims make a funny picture of Jesus (pbuh) { which they will never do as its disrespectful to the other religion} wouldn't the Christians there rebel?? The Govt isn't supporting them, no one is listening to their voice.. then rn't they forced to rebel like this?? Just think about this..
I believe that the Govt there should take immediate action against the man who made Muhammad (pbuh) 's picture.. They should know that the Islam is the 2nd largest religion of the world and it should be respected!
Enough Said! Hope I helped!
ASalamualikum!

Edit: Yes my friend.. I do agree with u.. but we all know that this is not gonna be banned there... Like I mean yea its wrong blocking roads etc.. but if they don't do that, their still small voice would never be recognized..
Zeeshan | Feb 06, 2010
life's not fair buddy. but to be honest its not fair that they made the cartoons. they're obviously hurt by it. but at the same time its not fair that they're doing that either. But its very rude that the newspaper has those extremely rude cartoons in them.

@Zainab, to say life isn't fair contradicts the status of the one who has given us life, and HE describes himself as Al Adl (The Just).
Abdul-Jabaar | Feb 06, 2010
I don't think it's fair of people who live in a country that values freedom of speech, of the press, and of religion, to suddenly decide that there's too much freedom of religion or that freedom of speech and religion belongs only to them.
Speech, the press, and religion are not free when they are limited.
Until Muslims recognize that the same freedoms that allow them to practice their religion openly in countries without a Muslim majority, to speak about their beliefs, and to publish information about those beliefs also allows other people to mock their (or anyone else's) beliefs, they will constantly be in conflict with the Western societies in which they live.
I am appreciating the irony of them feeling free to protest because they don't like freedom of the press.

Should I watch "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince"?
I'm a huge fan of the books, but I was disappointed by the other movies, especially the "Order of the Phoenix". The movies aren't bad as such, but I tend to compare them too much to the books. Of course, I should see them a bit more separately I guess...
What do YOU think? Is the "Half Blood Prince" movie definitely better than the others or will I be too disappointed because it leaves out too many important parts of the book?
you will be disappointed they do leave out a lot of the book but peoples idea of important part of any book is different .I like to read the books and then watch the movies

Avondrow | Feb 02, 2010
Hi, I would recommend you wait to watch the film. It ends rather suddenly and I think it would be better to watch when the next film comes out so you see them together.
I don't personally think this film is any better than the others, that's just my opinion.
Enjoy the book again rather than watching the film.
Kerrie S | Feb 02, 2010
you should but rent it when it comes out(idk if it is) i haven t saw them. If you have a redbox machine by you get it. read the book then see the movie and try to get the differences. i problay woud have fliped a coin or somting
Chuck | Feb 02, 2010
na its useless to watch the movie!!!
Arzoo J | Feb 02, 2010
Here's what you should do:
First, take off your clothes.
Then, flip a quarter high in the air. Watch where it lands, but DON'T LOOK AT IT.
Then, sit on it. Hard.
And with your a*s, feel if the coin is Head's Up or Tails Up.
Heads - you watch the movie. Tails - you watch 27 Dresses.
Now see how easy that was. And it didn't take any thinking - just letting your a*s make the decision for you!

If you can't separate them in your mind, don't bother... because then you'll just go around complaining about how it didn't live up to your standards. Nobody wants that.
Cinematically, it was fantastic. I'm a huge, and I recommend it, but not because it relates closely to the book. Since when do movies have to be exactly like the books to be acceptable? Half of the movie would be boring a heck if we were stuck watching Harry look at Voldemort's past. Only hardcore fans would want that. The movies are just based on the books; the books aren't used as manuscripts for them or anything.
WhichToBury | Feb 02, 2010
Personally if you have just read HP6 I would wait a couple of weeks for the story to sink in so as not to ruin the film; but i would definitely recommend watching the film, even if its at a later date! I read the third book about a week or so before the film came out and it ruined it a bit for me, so now I think that the third film isn't too good!!!
I hope this helps!!
Rach | Feb 04, 2010
I think avid readers of the books will always be disappointed by the films. They do leave bits out, the acting isn't exactly fantastic in parts, and it's never going to match the images and characters you've created in your head. However, I find that the films do really manage to create amazing atmospheres, and Half Blood Prince is definitely a good example of that. Go see it. If you accept that it won't be as good as the book and that it's different, you'lll still be able to seperate the two and enjoy them as seperate things.

I'm making a reading list, what books would you recommend for a 15-year-old?
I thoroughly enjoyed "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky, "Diary" by Chuck Palahniuk, "Lullabies for Little Criminals" by Heather O'Neill, "the five people you meet in heaven" by Mitch Albom, "for one more day" by Mitch Albom, and "The Memory Keeper's Daughter" by Kim Edwards.
So far my list is this:
"Crooked" by Louisa Luna
"Dreamworld" by Jane Goldman
"The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold
"Invisible Monsters" by Chuck Palahniuk
"City of Thieves" by David Benioff
"Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk
-
What books would you recommend for me? And have you read any of the books that are on my list - were they good? 
I'm looking at starting "City of Thieves" for myself =). I've read "The Lovely Bones", I wouldn't say it was bad...just different. And that could definitely be a good thing depending on your tastes. I liked the story anyhow.
Some suggestions...
The "Odd Thomas" series by Dean Koontz is very good if you're into supernatural stuff. It's about a short-order fry cook in California who sees ghosts.
"Catch 22" by Joseph Heller is pretty much my all time favorite book, so I'd definitely recommend that. It's very funny, sometimes in a dark humor way.
"Grendel" by John Gardner, especially if you've read Beowulf. It's told from the monster's point of view, so very thoughtful.
"The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien is a must. It uses verisimilitude to make you question what's true and what's made up, and if it really even matters.
Happy reading!

What is the big deal about the movie Paranormal Activity?
From the looks of the trailer, the hype is probably bigger than the movie itself. I hate these "reality" type movies. The movies make out to be unprofessional, raw, and unedited with first person point of view with the jerky cameras like Cloverfield. What a totally stupid unworthy movie. At least, Blair Witch Project was a good movie.
If someone has actually watched the movie (in its entirety), tell me what you really think. Is it worth watching, and were you really impressed? Please, rate the movie out of 5 stars.
Here are some of my favorite horror movies of all time:
The Exorcist
The Amityville Horror
Rosemary's Baby
Mothman Prophecies
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Halloween (1978)
Hills Have Eyes (1977)
The Omen (1976)
The Descent
I have not seen the movie but alot of people are saying they really liked it so idk but i love the show on Discovery Channel called "A Haunting". It's a great show! Your list is very good, out of your list The Exorcist, Amityville Horror(the one with Ryan Reynolds), Rosemary's Baby, and The Omen are on my list as well. If you like scary you should watch "Ringu" from 1998, the original Japanese version of "The Ring". It's five times scarier and way better.
~*PRU?~* | Oct 12, 2009
It is worthless and fake. The only thing paranormal about it is the spooky thought of morons actually paying to see that garbage.
gambit | Oct 12, 2009
well 1st off i have NOT seen it YET. i cannot wait to tho. it will semm raw and unedited since it was made with a $15,000 budget. i dont think it will be too jerky cuz from the looks of it the cameras they put thru the house are on tripods. the whole point of that type of movie, with a handheld camera, is to make the audience feel like they are in the movie. u say u dont like that type so im doubting ur gonna even give it a chance and u have already made up ur mind that its going to suck..
and Blair Witch Project SUCKED...
arlovskiforpresident | Oct 12, 2009
I saw the movie a few weeks ago and it did live up to my expectations. It wasn't as scary as i thought it was gonna be though. Its not a pop out scare you type movie like most horror movies today. Its very tense, my hands were sweating the entire film. It was about the sounds you hear and the things you see (and sometimes dont see) that made it soo scary. The movie makes you feel like you are right there, its kinds like your watching a snuff film. Pretty bad a$$. I would give it a 4.25 out of 5. Best horror movie i've seen in awhile. The camera pretty much is on a tripod for most of the movie so you dont have to worry about it being that jerky. Overall is was a great movie. I suggest watching it before you judge it. Easy to criticize something you haven't seen yet. Go see the movie and judge it for yourself.

How do I get rid of this guy that is obsessed with me?
I'm not joking.
In the beginning, I wasn't sure if I liked him in that way. But after going to the movies with him and my friends, I realized that I wanted nothing more but to be friends.
I've told him this about 6 times? I've told him that me and him will NEVER EVER happen.
Anyway. He always asks me who I'm talking to on MSN, he gets pissed off when I'm talking to other guys, or if I'm not talking to him enough. He got all pissed off because I was talking to this guy I like on the phone, and I told him that I can't really talk on MSN - coz I have trouble typing and talking kinda thing.
He always wants to know where I am, and what I am doing. He always tries to put people down and himself up. He is very arrogant too.
Because I mentioned the guy I like to him - because I thought he no longer liked me in that way and he was telling me how he likes this other girl too - he keeps asking me how me and the guy I like are, and when I'm going to meet him again, what I see in him and shit. He even asked me about a week ago what I saw in that guy. And everytime I would be like - you know, just friend to friend, and ask him how him and that girl he likes is, he gets pissed off!
He texts me, leaves facebook wall posts, and calls me. One time he called me just because he wants to say goodnight.
I seem to always be in his MSN display names, saying I'm beautiful or something like that with 'xoxox' at the end - umm, I thought he liked another girl?
His dn atm says something to do with how I made his day the best day ever, and that I'm awesome - but the thing is... I haven't spoken to him for like a week... and the last time I saw him was before Christmas, and before the dn he has now, he had something to do with the girl he liked. So I'm kind of confused.
I'm only 15 and I honestly don't want to get parents involved or anything rational like that. How can I deal with him myself?
(Oh, and I don't know if this is important or not. But before I said that me and him will never EVER happen, he used to EXPLAIN tp me how he wants to kiss me and touch me and stuff. And when I spoke to his aunty who is 17/18 on MSN after me telling him I want to be friends, she told me that he was inlove with me and he cried heaps when I 'broke his heart').
WTF
Oh, and I've never kissed him or touched him in that way. I've hugged him twice. Once with just me, and once with me and my bestfriend together. But he hugs everyone anyway..
Oh and he is like a year and half older than me too.
Honestly, you need to get your parents involved. I know you don't want to, but he sounds pretty crazy. Like the fact he told his relatives he was involved with you? W. T. F. totally inappropriate. Anyways, I know you don't want to, but they really should know what's going on. It'd be much easier to have them supporting you and helping stop this creep then for them to be searching for you because he kidnapped you or raped you. You really need to find a way to have absolutely nothing to do with this guy. It honestly sounds like he's delusional and won't stop.
Please be careful...
Amy | Jan 25, 2010
Um, this guy's a creep and I would cut off all ties with him. Seriously, obbsession can turn into violence and stalking. I've been there and it's not a good situation. If you start ignoring him and blocking his calls he might get the picture and back off. Good luck
Tom | Jan 25, 2010
he does not have the right to tell you who to talk to or not. start avoiding him or tell him to stop and LIVEyou alone
musasizi Shamilah | Jan 25, 2010
you need to do what you can to end the relationship and to block him on facebook and msn and whatever other forms of contact he has with you... and he wont like it but he needs to know that you are serious and that you dont want to be with him any longer..
its ok to let your parents know whats going on so they can help you and protect you from him.. if you dont do something he could get even worse than he is now...
also tell your friends that you know that you dont want anything to do with him... so they can watch out for you and help u
you might want to read a book called "in love and in danger" its about dealing with teenage abusive relationships...
try to do things differently so he never knows where u are or what your doing and try to have some one with you all the time...
all the best
my2cents | Jan 25, 2010
Okay, this is what I think you should do because I have experienced something similar to this. Text him and say in the text that you do not want him to contact you anymore and that there is nor will there ever be a relationship between the both of you. Save that text on your phone in case you might need it. Be very clear. After that, then just totally, and I mean TOTALLY ignore him. Ignore his calls. Ignore his texts. Ignore him on MSN. Try your best to ignore him when you're in his presence. After a couple of weeks of TOTALLY ignoring him, he should get the message.
If he continues to harrass you after a month, then you will need to take this on to your parents, okay? If he can't get the message after a month then you're going to need help getting the message through to him. Good luck with this.
SpaldingJag | Jan 25, 2010
I thought I had boy issues. Disassociate yourself from him.
When you are with your friends, do NOT even acknowledge his existence.
Pretend you never had any personal involvement with him.
Crystal | Jan 25, 2010
Okay, there's nothing I can say, but:
EWW. STALKER. WTF!!!
Sorry, that's all the advice I can give. O_o. If I were you, I'd stop talking to him. He was trying to make you jealous when he said he liked someone else.
Hmmmm.....I forgot. | Jan 26, 2010
