Casino (1995)

IMDB rating: 7.90

Plot: This Martin Scorsese film depicts the Janus-like quality of Las Vegas—it has a glittering, glamorous face, as well as a brutal, cruel one. Ace Rothstein and Nicky Santoro, mobsters who move to Las Vegas to make their mark, live and work in this paradoxical world. Seen through their eyes, each as a foil to the other, the details of mob involvement in the casinos of the 1970’s and ’80’s are revealed. Ace is the smooth operator of the Tangiers casino, while Nicky is his boyhood friend and tough strongman, robbing and shaking down the locals. However, they each have a tragic flaw—Ace falls in love with a hustler, Ginger, and Nicky falls into an ever-deepening spiral of drugs and violence.

Seven pounds???????????????/?
i don’t understand what the new movie Seven pounds is about?


Will Smith has suicidal thoughts along with depression and along the way with his journey, he encounters 7 people whom he feels obligated to help and one of the 7 is a terminally ill woman (Rosario Dawson) he falls for….Overall it is a great story with a enlightening twist.

Military Mama due 03/09 | Dec 17, 2008


that’s because it’s about suicide and the studio doesn’t want a bright, sunny will smith movie to seem dark
irwin20202020 | Dec 17, 2008


Hey there,
Will Smith kills seven people in a car accident. One of those people is his girlfriend (love of his life), who was sitting next to him. Accident happens b/c he’s texting.

Next, he feels he must make up for those "Seven Lives", hence the title "Seven Pounds" & he finds way to save all seven people. He kills himself & they take his eyes, bone marrow, other things, and his heart. The heart goes to the new love of his life, Rosario Dawson. So, he killed the love of his life & at the end, he actually saved the love of his life (the sick one) by killng himself.
hana b | Dec 17, 2008


wow i can’t believe some one actually told you the whole story. The movie is worth watching seven pounds stands for the seven lives Will Smith’s character changes by making a huge sacrifice. Its a heart warming story with some romance. I don’t want to give away too much but go ahead and watch it.
enjoy

It’s a heart warming story about an IRS agent who helps 7 strangers.

Except he’s not an IRS agent. It’s complicated.
CJW11 | Dec 18, 2008


I’ll tell you this emily, You have to see it.

it’s a 10/10

I cant tell you, it will ruin it. WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tril | Dec 18, 2008


Yep his wife was killed in an accident and a van of people, he ends up killing himself with his pet jellyfish in a bathtub full of ice water, the girls gets paged about having a donor gets the heart transplant then his brother explains everything to the girl about how will smiths character (Ben) donated a lung to him and the right side of his liver to another woman, the heart to her, the eyes to the blind guy, bone marrow to the kid.

He didn’t donate organs to seven people, he just changed sever peoples lives.

1. His brother (lung)
2. Woman (liver)
3. gf I guess she was (heart)
4. blind guy (eyes)
5. Old lady mistreated in nursing home
6. Kid (bone marrow)
7. Hispanic woman abused by boyfriend gets his beach house to start new life with her 2 children

Ben and the girl don’t have any children together in the movie but you can assume they do but it has nothing to do with the 7lbs title.
Joe T | Dec 18, 2008


its very good, but intense

I highly recommend it.

Its not a typical Hollywood movie where they spoon feed you the plot, but all is explained in the end.
friskygimp | Dec 18, 2008


seven pounds b/c if you weigh all the organs he donated.. it weighs close to that… (1) lung, the liver, the heart, and the eyes… ruel o.
ruel o | Dec 18, 2008


wow, i seriously cant believe some people are telling you the whole story…that completely ruins the dramatic effect.
all i can say is that i was as confused as you were when i heard about seven pounds.
basically it’s a guy who is going to change other people’s lives…and that is all you can get from the trailer.
watch the movie and you will see why these particular seven people and his reason for helping them.. GREAT MOVIE i might add, very emotional.
anne | Dec 18, 2008


Sucks that everyone is spoiling the movie for you. I too have seen the movie and its a REALLY good movie.

Some of the people on here are wrong though….so dont take whatever everyone on here is saying as true. Im not going to spoil the movie for anyone by saying whos wrong & why…..Just see the movie you wont be disappointed!
Margaret J | Dec 19, 2008


I think the best way, is to see the movie yourself, because it seems very deep and we might walk away with our own ideas.

I really don’t understand what this fuzz about… Here in Brazil everybody knows the entire 7 pounds’ plot. Anyway, for those who don’t:
Ben Thomas (Will Smith) is a man posing as an IRS agent who is deeply depressed after a car accident where he was responsible for the death of 7 people, including his wife. Carrying this guilt, he decides to help seven struggling individuals to make up for his terrible mistake. He uses his brother’s credentials to access the IRS database to find people who he believes are worthy of his gift. Holly Apelgren (Judyann Elder), Ezra Turner (Woody Harrelson), Connie Tepos (Elpidia Carrillo) and Emily Posa (Rosario Dawson) are among those who he intends to die helping. But as he meets Emily (Rosario Dawson), a beautiful woman who has a heart condition, Ben ends up falling in love with her, which changes his plans.

007 Thunderball
007 Thunderball (1965)

IMDB rating: 7.00

Plot: When two colleagues of James Bond are murdered, James follows the widow of a double agent who has been killed – and a confrontation ensues. The double agent is part of SPECTRE, and the organization’s meeting in a secret lair in Paris regrets the agent’s passing as it deals with new criminal business. Emilio Largo, a ruthless and flamboyant one-eyed enforcer, has hatched a scheme against the North Atlantic Treaty powers that begins at a rehabilitation clinic near an RAF airbase. Scheduled to pilot an RAF Vulcan strategic bomber on a normal “fail-safe” flight is Francois Derval, who is having a passionate affair with the magnificently endowed beauty Fiona Volpe – an affair that SPECTRE exploits. Soon, the Vulcan and its warload of two nuclear bombs has been hijacked, the bombs seized by Largo, for use in SPECTRE’s most audacious extortion scheme yet. James Bond, however, finds a key clue in the sister of Francois Derval, Dominique “Domino” Derval, a beautiful young woman who is a passionate scuba-diver living in Nassau. When James investigates Domino, he comes into contact with a SPECTRE operation on the island, and he gets help from HMSS’ man in Nassau, Pinder, and in old CIA chum Felix Leiter. But when James and Felix find out what SPECTRE is up to, it may be to late to save a major US coastal city from nuclear annihilation.

Emilio Largo (007 Thunderball) and Maximilian Largo (007 Never Say Never Again) are the same villain or no?
From the James Bond Movies.

I want answers!


Emilio Largo and Maximilian Largo is the same but… The original character is Emilio Largo from the Bond Original franchise Thunderball…. while Maximillian Largo is a "reimagined" fictional character from an unofficial remake/not a Bond franchise "Never Say Never Again" in short they are the same but with different characters in the different film

Yes or no. Maybe, perhaps. Possibly. I’m not sure either.

How many words do you think it will take to write this book?
Hey! I wrote the blurb earlier and i’ve started to write chapter one. you dont have to read all that as its effort lol! but i was just woundering how long you think it will take to write? im in my teens, remember.

***

‘Midnight’ is about a very beautiful girl called Midnight who is haunted over her childhood. She has the most amazing eyes which are not just unique but they allow her to have control over any other being she meets. Midnight, only ten years of age, finds out that her mother and grandmother is plotting to kill her in fear of Midnight being a vampire or witch. They don’t succeed and the police charge her mother with attempted man-slaughter and goes to prison. Midnight is then forced to remain living with her father; her best friend. This seems like a dream to Midnight, who has always disliked her mother because of the way she treated her whilst her father always blessed Midnight and believed in her true potential. Midnight, now only thirteen, is distrought when she gets a very worried phone call from the hospital claiming her father has cancer. Sadly, two days before Midnight’s fourteenth birthday, her father dies and Midnight has to go to an adoption home. She attemps suicide many times but she always seems to live…

At fifteen Midnight runs away from the care home and meets a boy called Gabriel. Midnight and Gabriel fall in love, but she feels- always- that somethiing is missing. As they both age close to eighteen and move into Midnight’s fathers home they get engaged. She falls pregnant unexpectedly and at that time her life feels perfect but she always has that thought that she should know something she didn’t. Haunted by a reccuring dream of a cottage she sets on a journey to find the place in hope of finding out more about herself. As the story progresses you find more out about Midnight’s childhood and the reson behind her mothers actions.

There are many twists in the story and the ending is arrupt after Midnight finds that her father was a vampire meaning she is half vampire too. Sarah, a close vampre friend of Midnight’s father, gives Midnight a reassuring letter left from her father before he died, explaining her heritiage and leaving an address to meet more vampires to convince her more. After arriving at the address she meets a vampire called Jarad and the void is finally filled that never is with Gabriel.

Shes getting married in two weeks time, who will she choose… Her always devoting, caring, reliable fionce or this new, messy, cold character who she knows nothing about?


No one knows. It varies. Either it could take you a year to write 100 pages, or a month. Word count is IMPOSSIBLE to measure. Don’t limit yourself. Get off the Internet and WRITE!!!

But if not song ideas would also help.

pregnant and wondering?
okay so im pregnant and found out maybe about 5 weeks ago or so. i just got covered for insurance ( young and unemployed at the moment) well, i just got the approval letter in the mail about 3 days ago. My appointment isn’t until next Wednesday so im a little worried considering i haven’t had prenatal care at all.

I had a miscarriage about 3 months ago and it happened quick i was probably about 7 or 8 weeks along. this time id be about 11 or 12 weeks along according to last period. i have been having nausea, morning sickness, excessive hunger && many more symptoms. Im just still a little worried because i haven’t heard my babies heartbeat yet, and i dont wanna have a missed miscarriage.

if i havnt had cramping or bleeding and continue to have my symptoms my baby would by now have a heart beat right? if ive had morning sickness and all that…?

what do you think.


It’s fine. If you haven’t noticed any major cramping or any bleeding you should be ok. There are a lot of doctors that won’t see their patients until they’re at least 12 weeks. So don’t worry too much that you haven’t seen a doctor yet. You’re getting in soon so you should be fine!

you are doing all the right things… not
Say goodbye to Hollywood | Dec 16, 2009


So most first trimester miscarriages cannot be prevented because they are caused by chromosomal abnormalities and it is no one’s fault. I had a miscarriage 2 years ago and my doc still said he wouldn’t see me until I was 8 weeks along because one miscarriage does not up your chances of having another. However I told them since I had irregular periods I did not know hw far along I was. They saw me right away and it was good because I was 18 weeks 3 days at my ultrasound but my baby is fine. Just take your prenatal vitamins and wait for your appointment and go to the ER if you have any bleeding. Good luck and congrats!!!

Battle of Long Tan
Battle of Long Tan (2006)

IMDB rating: 8.00

Plot: In the gathering dusk of 18 August 1966, 108 young, inexperienced Australian and NZ soldiers are separated and surrounded, fighting for their lives, holding off an overwhelming force of 2,500 battle-hardened Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers. And, in the pouring rain, amid the mud and shattered trees of a rubber plantation called Long Tan, with their ammunition running out and another Vietnamese battalion massing for the final assault, the digger’s situation seemed hopeless. Long Tan is the true story of ordinary boys who became extraordinary men.

Directors:

Actors: Worthington Sam,Documentary

Same question, different day lol. Would a story like this one appeal to you? Fantasy Fic.?
Deciding in July of this year to write a story, I planned on doing a spin off to Twilight by SM in the POV of a new character. But the character in question didn’t like that, didn’t like Twilight lol. I tried hard to get her to conform to my vision of her being a Cullen, but she was having none of it and fought hammer and tongs for her own plot. She got it! And so here it is.
Also, I am not a writer and this is my first attempt to write a story.

The story:
Clarisse’ 2000th birthday is approaching. She has known all her ‘existence’ that she was different. What she didn’t know was that she is much more different than she could ever have imagined.
The first 1200 years of her life were spent with her brothers (not in the biological sense) Rohan and Tristan who have raised her since she was a baby. They know her history; what she REALLY is, what she should become and how she even became to be, but have chosen to keep this from her. Along come Nicoli and Verity. Nicoli and Verity are a father/daughter duo. They live as a family of five for almost 800 years until one day Verity, after harbouring such an immense amount of hate for Clarisse, leaves, taking her father with her (because that is his daughter, his blood) and breaking a family apart. Thus, their departure sets off a chain of events that sets Clarisse’ wheels of fate in motion. A peace covenant made between Magics Elders and Darkworld Royals will be been broken. Blood will be spilled, and Clarisse will be found. Now her brothers must fight to keep the Royals from her while trying to calm the animosity between them and the Elders. The Royals send out assassins, the Elders seek retribution, and a family of 3 must battle for the salvation of an entire race. The odds are stacked against them and allies are few. What will they do? Will they reveal to Clarisse who she was born to be? Or will they die in a bid to keep her free?

Prologue:

Faster than anyone can comprehend I darted across the room, my eyes squarely fixed on my sister… my life… my everything; though she would never know that. Her new eye colour; a sparkling charcoal flame hue, sat well against her lightly tanned skin, the anger seeping from them growing more dangerous as each second passed. She was losing control. We were losing her.

Outside flashes of bright blue and white danced across the rolling sea of black sky, followed by the rumbling sound of surging thunder. The thunder made the house vibrate violently, while the wind; which less than five minutes ago was nothing more than a gentle breeze now howled ferociously, singing an eerie song of malevolence and bringing with it the first few drops of rain.

"Liss" I whispered, taking her face in my hands and lifting it up to mine.
"Fight this! For me, for Tristan, for you, fight this!" I pleaded.
"Pease!"
"Move … Rohan" her tone was low, the sound escaping through gritted teeth.
"No"

Resting my forehead on hers I forced every ounce of love, warmth and comfort that I could muster from within me and into her. The emotions passed between us, but had only the slightest effect on hers. This moment was the one moment we had tried desperately to keep her from experiencing. Yes she was the Ancient, but no it did not have to be this way.

Her eyes, in all their charcoal flamed glory, swirled with fury as she ripped her face from my hands. Bringing her hands up to her chest the speed she used in her movements were too fast for me to see. My body flew through the air, sailing backwards, where with a thunderous crash I smashed into the marbled fireplace.

The lightning outside flashed brighter, angrier, and the thunder that rumbled now roared dangerously; just as the the wind wailed fiercely and the rain now fell with an unmatched power all of its own.

My heart, had I had one that beat, would surely have been pounding furiously in my chest; dancing erratically with the frenzied shutters that banged loudly against the windows.

The monster, her monster, which had been so eager to escape, was now being liberated. Brutal violence emanated around us, ripping through the layer of anger that had lingered far too long. Her body rose from the floor, her face looked to the skies, a pained scream escaped her lips.

A burning desperation ripped through my body; desperate to save her, and foolish enough to die trying. With no caution for my own well-being, for my own safety, I sprung to my feet.

The prologue is actually something I just wrote lastnight. It would appear in the 3rd instalment of a book that was only meant to be 1 novel lol.

I don’t care what you think, just tell me why you think that. Everything you guy’s say helps me.


sorry but i am surprised, you said that you are not a writer? you are a natural, i really liked it, quite interesting, i would love to read more :)

i need help recalling the Billy Birdbrain jokes from Children's Digest.?
Here are some that i recall:

Why did BB comb his hair before going to bed?
Because he wanted to make a good impression on the pillow.

Why did BB throw his clock out the widow?
Because he wanted to see time fly.

Why did BB drive the train over the edge of the cliff?
Because he wanted to test its air brakes.

Thanks in advance! Five stars for anything reasonably close that is not offensive to Community standards.
