I won't watch that movie, since Fahrenheit disappointed me so much...

to elaborate on your point, it isn't perfect in our canadian health care system. Everything is so backed up. I was in the emergency room the other day with my father and he was screaming in pain (appendicitus) for 3 hours before we could get a doctor to see him and give him some morphine. Some people were in the ER for 8 hours before they got looked at.

But its still way better than the U.S. I don't ever have to worry about going broke if I ever got cancer or something.

its a documentary, so it presents a point of view, it is biased, but you really can't idealize it too much, I mean you look at France and then you look at America....it is what it is and we are in a really f**ked up situation because of it. Not everyone is dying on the streets like he makes it seem, but that isn't the main focus...

the American media is ridiculous and of course people would say that about this movie. Just like what they say about Golden Compass. And any other countless movies they don't want us to see because they have themes that might seem subversive or something...

ugh, YUKI needs a new direction that understands that 1)random white people doesn't equal artsy 2) neither does rewinding footage

and they also need some better green screening and to STOP STEALING FROM RINGO-HIME

I saw this and was immediately like ummm SIGMA PV MUCH?

Everything turned out worse than I could imagine.


Now we watch Prison break on our holy Wednesday.
I think this is the most suspenseful TV show I've ever seen. As of episode 3 it takes about 1 minute for every episode to become ultmately thrilling.
We're at episode 6 now and I hope this goes on like this.
I quite liked the change of atmosphere, and It gets better from the start of season 3

Yes, I liked the season 2 ending also. I thought it was quite shocking; a good jump the shark moment. And it's not as if it has to dictate the entire direction of season 3. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by how Season 3 pans out, even if it is the weakest (But still brilliant) season for me.

As for Prison Break, yes it is quite tense and thrilling. You have to blind yourself from how far fetched the whole thing is, but it's a TV show so it doesn't bother me. You don't go into Prison Break expecting a realistic drama on the relations of a typical American prison.

I will not comment on either the artsy-ness of the video, or the pv plagiarism, but I do like YUKI. I think she can sing well also she is very good looking for her age, what is she 45 now (joking joking)? But for a yuki pv to work for me, all she needs is to wear heels, a pretty dress, and move sexily, lol. This video was almost a win... but there was no sexy moving.

Oh my gosh, I just saw The golden compass. What a bad movie.
Imagine The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the king in a less than two hour version. It felt like a machine made the script for this.

I disagree

I didn't think it was a bad movie at all. Have you seen anything else recently? The movie itself had better acting than ANY of the other kid fantasy movies and the plot itself was pretty tight, minus the horribly fast pacing.

if you read the book I think you would find it was a smashing, if slightly a bit soulless, adaptation.

I'm a huge YUKI fan. I actually have been super excited to get Wonderline. But regardless, I don't like her recent moves as of late. Lately she has been seeming to care less and less about what she is doing and turning the control over to other people.
