I picked up the Order of the Pheonix yesterday in the store and was tempted to look at the end to see which major character dies.

Eh, I hate Harry Potter books and movies. It portrays witchcraft and the likes in an "OK" light, when it's nothing but evil. Sure, it's all good fun in the books and movies, but that's a false message. Witchcraft is pure evil. Now, if you're one who can differentiate between a fun story and that which is evil, go for it. However, if you read the book or see the movie and think witchcraft is innocent, which I suspect a lot do, then I have a problem with it.In my opinion It's just another classic tale of Good overcoming Evil. This always gets the publics interest. Add the next vital ingredient.....the Meek (Harry, complete with glasses) overcoming the Strong using special powers. Joe Public identifies with this as he/she feels powerless to control what he/she sees as injustices in the world. 'If only we had some super powers, we could put things right'. No wonder super heroes such as Superman, Batman, Spiderman etc are so popular.
The powers used in Harry Potter may be 'wizardry', but are they any stranger than the powers used by our other heroes....flying through the sky...spinning webs.....turning invisible etc etc ?. As a child I 'knew' that such powers were fictional, and I believe the children of today take the same view with Harry Potter. In a nutshell, I think it's all harmless.

Sean Connery of course, Pierce Bronson second.
I watched " Die Another Day " last night and it was a bit far fetched, but sheer entertainment none the less.

What's wrong with dogooders?Just recently the police have just started confiscating cars belonging to hoons. (The hoons) pour diesel on the roads and do wheelies and race about with screeching brakes, and annoy everyone that lives in the area. The do-gooders say it's illegal to impound cars from the teenage hoons, and it should be stopped. They are now taking the police to court.
Totally agree with you on the dogooders lollypop. An old guy over here got put in prison for shooting and killing a young burgler who broke into his farmhouse. It was very high profile, in all the papers. Anyway he's served his time and he get's out in July, but listen to this..... The dead burglers accomplice in robbing this guy has been given the go ahead by the high court to sue him for stress brought about by publicity etc etc, apparantly it's ruined his love life or something. Talk about the lunatics taking over the asylum!!!
I also don't like how our PM is going to drag us into the EU kicking and screaming, whether we like it or not.
How we've become a soft touch for all the bogus asylum seekers on the planet, and being bled dry when my daughter can't have a decent education, my mother had to sit on a hospital trolley for 6 hours waiting for a bed....i could go on and on.
Well that's enough moaning from me...what do i like about my country?
Car boot sales, pounds and ounces, graham norton who is so funny, driving on the left, proud of the heritage of good ole monty python,
and the good old british stiff upper lip.....which you really need to be able to stomach living here lol
I know where you are coming from, that's why I got out. But the law's an *buttocks* over here as well. If someone breaks into you home and injures himself while doing it, he can then go ahead and sue you for damages :ph34r:

Dislikes...corporate greed, "golden handshakes", or for that matter any form of greed.
Dogooders...poking their noses in where they are not wanted.
The lack of consideration for the environment.
Likes...There is only 4 million people here.
The diversity of the scenery.

Happy Birthday POGUE!

Check this out: Egypt bans Matrix ReloadedAs I watched it I thought to myself that this movie could cause some concerns among some churches. Neo is set up as the "messiah" and is even asked to "look over" or "bless" (I forget which) some children.
It was said elsewhere on the board that Bruce Almighty was an afront to God, I actually think The Matrix Reloaded could more closely fit that description.
But it's only entertainment, no one takes it serious.
If someone made a movie that reiculed the USA and made Bush look like an idiot, would you still say it's only entertainment and not ment to be taken serriously?
"The Matrix: Reloaded" didn't bother me, becuase it was sci-fi, where as "Bruce Almighty" was a direct insult to God, in my opinion.
I'm not in the US
It wouldn't bother me in the slightest, because I have a sense of humour, and I love people taking the micky out of politicians.

Click for Spoiler:
Does Kirk actually have sex with every girl that crosses his path? Well, here's the absolute TRUTH! From "The Cage" to "Star Trek: Generations", I will count every single time Kirk kisses or has sex with a girl for the sole purpose of sexuality. I will also point out times references to Kirk's past loves are implied, and times he uses his charm to gain a tactical advantage. Here's something that will make people that believe this myth cringe: FACTS! The totals will be at the end of the page.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Original Series
The Cage:
Kirk's not here. This is a story about Captain Pike.
KISSES:0 SEX:0 PAST:0 CHARM:0

toward Dr. Dehner. But a Past girl is mentioned, some fans feel
this is Carol Marcus in Wrath Of Khan.

KISSES:0 SEX:0 PAST:0 CHARM:0
What Are Little Girls Made Of?:

There is no sexual interest there whatsoever.
But I will count it as Charm.

Dagger of the Mind:
Helen Noel is an old flame of Kirk's that seems
to want to have some fun again.

He does try to embrace her, but that was a result of
hypnotism. But I will count it as Past.

(on his part) whatsoever.
Rand flirts with him briefly, but Kirk ignores it.

An old friend of Kirk's, Dr. Janet Wallace,

Now, onto Season Three:

Heck, Kirk even resists the effects of the tears.
KISSES:0 SEX:0 PAST:0 CHARM:0
The Paradise Syndrome:

He also married her, which is far from being sexist.
KISSES:0 SEX:0 PAST:0 CHARM:0

Kirk definitely has sex in this episode.
Though it should be noted he only did it to distract the female villain

Requiem for Methuselah:
Kirk falls in love with Rayna (almost instantly) and he also kisses her.
This is the one and only episode where Kirk *officially* chases after a girl,
and is most probably where he got his false reputation for being a lady chaser.
(It's kind of ironic, though, that she turns out to be an android at the end).
KISSES:1 SEX:0 PAST:0 CHARM:0
The Savage Curtain:
Kirk makes no moves on anyone.

The Motion Pictures
Star Trek: The Motion Picture:
Kirk makes no moves towards anyone,
not even the sexually-superior Deltan, Illia.
KISSES:0 SEX:0 PAST:0 CHARM:0
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan:
Kirk doesn't flirt with ex-girlfriend Carol Marcus.
All he does is take her hand when she offers it. But she was a part of his Past.
In fact, many fans feel this may be the "lab technician"
mentioned in "Where No Man Has Gone Before."
KISSES:0 SEX:0 PAST:1 CHARM:0
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock:
Kirk flirts with no one.
KISSES:0 SEX:0 PAST:0 CHARM:0
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home:
Gillian gives Kirk a peck, but it's more of a friendly kiss than a romantic one.
She does promise to "find" him again.
So something probably did happen between them later
(in spite of what some feminists might say).
But within the context of the film, nothing happens.
KISSES:0 SEX:0 PAST:0 CHARM:0
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier:
Kirk flirts with no one.
KISSES:0 SEX:0 PAST:0 CHARM:0
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country:
Martia kisses Kirk, but Kirk didn't instigate it.
After the kiss, McCoy makes the off-the-cuff
remark "What is it with you, anyway?"
But this comment appears to be in reference to
him attracting women, not his actions toward women.

Star Trek: Generations:
There appears to be some romanticism between Kirk
and the unseen Antonia, but there is no sex or kisses.
Plus, Kirk seems to love her. But I'll count it as Past.

Sisko says "Kirk had quite the reputation of being
a ladies man." Aside from the fact that some of the
people behind this episode (and behind Berman Trek in general)
are not TOS fans (luckily overall it's still a great episode),
this comment still is not evidence that Kirk "slept around"
or was sexist. After all, we don't know if the reputation was warranted.

THE TOTALS:
Times Kirk uses his Charm (this is NOT sexual motivation): 7.
Times a past girlfriend is brought up (and they may not have even had sex with him): 8 (at the most).
Times Kirk kisses a girl for purely sexual reasons: 3.
Times Kirk has sex: 2 (and even these are debatable).
There's the TRUTH.
Kirk was *not* a playboy who porked every female in sight. This is a complete myth that's very wrong because it's a malignant distortion of the truth. Genuine fans who actually WATCHED the show get weary of Kirk being portrayed as a guy with a phaser in his hand and a new gal (with a beehive hairdo) on his arm every week. Spock possibly got ladies as much as Kirk did, but do people call him a playboy? No, they don't.
Kirk does not go for bimbos, and he does not jump on one new girl every episode. He was shown to be capable of love and commitment. We saw him flirt a lot, but he fell in love only a couple of times, and he was not always getting girls. He pushed women away more often than he embraced them. All the evidence anyone needs for proof is available for your viewing pleasure.
Many of the things people like to think about Captain Kirk are their own fantasies, which have little support in canon materials. Sure, some people may feel Kirk has a reputation of being a ladykiller, but a person can get a reputation without having done much to deserve it, as we can see.
Perhaps a reason people that are ignorant of these facts make these wild, false claims are because some guys fantasize about what they would do if they were Kirk. If they were as attractive to women as Kirk is, they would run barefoot through all the lovelies who lined up. That's what THEY would do. But that's in their own mind. It's not reality because they AREN'T as attractive to women as Kirk, and therefore they don't have their own personal frame of reference. If they DID, they would have the ability to KNOW these myths about Kirk aren't true.
Lots of women are attracted to Kirk, but that doesn't mean he welcomes their attention. He sometimes uses seduction as a way of getting a leg up on an enemy woman, but that's just using one of his assets as a weapon in a tough situation.
Sometimes Kirk likes to flirt or dance with women. So what? How many times have you flirted or danced where nothing ever came of it? Never? Every time you flirt or dance with somebody, you automatically next take a tumble? Really!? Even if that is just a given with you, it's not that way with most people. Most flirtation never comes to anything. Most flirtation is as safe as milk.
When you are very attractive, and when on top of that you have status and power, you get a lot of offers. You get enough offers, until you get sick of them. Kirk is the kind of guy who is *not hungry* for attention. He gets plenty. He's NOT DESPERATE. Therefore, he doesn't act desperate. In rare cases, however, he honestly feels strong desire for a particular, special, adored woman. Those rare women are not bimbos. They are outstanding in some way, and often in several ways. Kirk was not James Bond!
Listing the women he appeared with on camera proves nothing except that everybody wanted center stage.
Now, put this myth to rest... and move on.
