  1. Well I bought "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown on the 18th ...finished it yesterday .....

    The book deals with Masonic teachings and the attainment of True Light or Enligthenment .....

    Nice book .....Although there were no suspense about the antagonist's real identity as the surpise could me known from far away .....

    Loved the Fast paced action

    Seems like Dan is makin a series

    Angels and Demons was a fight between Religion and Science

    Da Vinci Code a fight between a religion

    The lost symbol ... a FRIENDSHIP betweem ancient religion(teachings) and Science

     

    mm.. i havnt read this 1 but tbh.. th mystery in his books is pretty crappy.. th info overload is awesome tho..

  2. in all fairness, the climax has to be nerve wracking/ tense and a hyperbole for the match; so most game based movies (not just cricket) have some equivalent of 'boundary needed of last ball'.

     

    its the treatment (as achillef) says of the whole movie, and how that movie has built up to that point which is supposed to tip the iceberg; that make a great sports based movie.

     

    yep.. rocky shines on all levels.. :panic:

  3. :panic: the website shows the samsung @44K n sony @45K

    :roflroll: such a nice discount...... :chair:

     

    for 32" it seems full hd vs hd ready makes no difference, difff only visible above 42"

    + sony is better :) n for once.... once it is actually cheaper than the samsung??? :rofl:

     

    no brainer... go for the sony :)

     

    :good:

    sony is not better.

  4. [rec] - its spanish, but really scary - as in "sh*t in your pants when you watch it alone in the night" scary :thumbsup:

     

    i like to watch scary movies like that nly.. havnt watched many though.. i remember the only time i ws actually scared was when i saw the ring for the first time, on my laptop, with noise canceling headphones at 4 in the morning in the winter time.. (so not even th fan/ac noises were there) .. :raygun:

  5. Nope. But the new iPod Nano does.

     

    The Zune HD is really sweet. Measured purely as a portable, pocketable A/V device, its the best one in the market. The software is miles ahead of the iPod Touch and the transitions, effects, etc. are an absolute treat to the eyes.

     

    Plus Zune 4.0 on the PC will blow your mind.

     

    :console:

     

    kids.

  6. whoa.. international..!! really ?? u serious ?

     

    anyhoo, i like tennis, my 2nd fav after football, play a bit in 1st and 2nd yr of college but unfortunately got a muscle tear in my left shoulder (m lefty) an year and half back so stopped racquet sports altogether, doc says to go for physiotherapy for rapid healing but i am a fookin lazy bum to do so :chair:

     

    enough of that, anyone saw serena's wrath ?? also federer lost so :doh:

    cheers !!

     

    u can enter on a member's reference. so ur a member for all the above.. atleast otter's??.. :doh: ul b gettin a call soon..

  8. Also, I must say that despite the bleak nature of the movie, the small bits of humor actually worked.

    I would never have any kind of pornographic activity with a creature, okay?

    :sadbye:

     

    i actually found quite a few bits funny.. but i ws th only 1 laughing.. in my group of friends and in th hall.. :P for th first 15 mins th girls were lik whr th hel hav u gotten us.. dam u... but by th end of th movie they accepted it graciously. n 1 of them actually was inquisitive about d10. :threatenlumber:

     

    n tru wt u said about videogame inspiration.. in most of the second haf i felt like i shd b controlling either of th 2.. :unsure:

  9. im really surprised no one has mentioned this yet

     

    Nelson Piquet Jr claims he was given team orders to crash at Lap 15 in Singapore (2008) to advantage Alonso (Alonso won the race eventually) :

    This makes the Barrichello order to let Schumi pass seem like school ground stuff ... I'm deeply interested to see how this pans out, best thing in F1 since the Max Mosley Nazi gig

     

    lol. tbh im actually surprised it took this long for it to come out..

     

    P2 and P7 for Force India :doh:
