had a lively discussion about the characters and their architypes and how you can label each one and/or match them to RL personalities.

the parallels drawn were interesting... and
I mised Cassandra though- even though they gave her part to the different characters throughout the movie... it was quite the same.

and it needs to be viewed just for that O'toole/Pitt tent scene. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Rhui Chatar) http://thevirtualcommunity.yuku.com/topic/927 Thu, 27 May 2004 09:46:12 GMT http://thevirtualcommunity.yuku.com/topic/919/t/A-thread-about-the-Jedi-Order-.html feeds@yuku.com (MH Ecthelion) http://thevirtualcommunity.yuku.com/topic/919 Mon, 24 May 2004 16:54:05 GMT http://thevirtualcommunity.yuku.com/topic/928/t/The-cinema-experience-that-is-Lord-of-the-Rings.html
Through a sequence of somewhat convolutent events I came to find myself settling in for a 12 hour cinema experience at 9am on the morning of Dec 18th in of all places, Toronto. A city with a great affinity for film related events. This experience, I had thought, would not happen until 2005 and be of a slightly different genre. But life is full of surprises.

It was not what pop culture had led me to believe. I thought it would be some fun, crazy film like the Mrs. Robinson song. Instead I would say the defining song for that movie is The Sound of Silence.

The movie strikes me as being about two families trying to relive their lives through their children.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Beth Starblade) http://thevirtualcommunity.yuku.com/topic/929 Tue, 20 Aug 2002 06:15:59 GMT http://thevirtualcommunity.yuku.com/topic/934/t/That-s-entertainment-isn-t-it-.html It's Like a Movie, But It's Not

I grew up loving the rock/pop music of the 1980s, while appreciating early rock bands of the 1960s. In my teens, I sort of rebelled from the grunge and rap scenes, instead listened heavily into classical music,
film, soundtracks, and "New Age" music. When I began playing guitar a year ago, I sort of discovered the intricacies of heavy metal and hard rock.
