1) Nightwish. Much love for all the albums. And I've loved all 3 singers in their own ways.
2) Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy. Pretty much defines techno-thriller and military fiction. It would make a great movie.
3) It's a toss up between Casino and The Departed. Always loved Gangster movies. Always loved Scorcesse. But those two are pretty much perfect in their own right.
@ccraft: I think he was talking about something like, no matter who you meet, you are always technically alone, and it can be very lonely unless you make friends and lovers in life. It could also be Tennessee commenting on his own life long battle with depression. He was a remarkable writer.
@hylian: They are very useful. In Canada, if you want to block a river to make a hockey rink, you find a beaver and lure it over to your river. Vola, free hockey rink.
@ccraft: In school we did Cat On a Hot Tin Roof. I played Gooper. I've also seen Streetcar Named Desire and Sweet Bird of Youth live. They were both excellent.
@rd189: You did the play A Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in school? It's got some pretty dark stuff in there. I've read that book and several others, The Glass Menagerie, and A Streetcar Named Desire. I'm reading Sweet Bird of Youth currently, the main character and I share the same name haha (Chance).
I've only seen the movie A Streetcar Named Desire, it was really good. It's one of my favorite books and movies. I related to the character Blanche in so many ways, so I got a little emotional in some scenes :(
contrary to popular belief I've heard it's maple syrup which flows through Canadian veins and they're not frozen solid as many might have the world think. there's an opposing view which says hockey is the lifeblood of Canada, so which is it, and how do beavers factor into it all?
@ccraft: I went to one of those "Alternative schools" so we got to do, pretty much what ever we wanted. As a joke, someone proposed that we do Sasha Grey for "speaker sesh" (people come in and speak on various issues), and while she didnt come her self, she actually sent us an email about the "industry" and it's pros and cons.
Streetcar is about as close as it comes to a Real American Classic. I wish he could have made more plays
My fact >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Your fact.
@ccraft: I loved every single book I've read so far by Tennessee Williams. The characters and the stories just speak to me in a personal way. There isn't enough people who read TW books on here, I have no one to talk to lol.
Have you seen the movie Mr. Nobody starring Jared Leto?
@darthmummy: I know by technicality Porno is an industry, but is it an industry in the sense that steel mills are, or more in the sense of weed growing? plus, its a subtle innuendo !
@ccraft: Awwe, well now you can talk to me ^.^ I have love for all classic literature!
@parachomp: Hells yes. I just picked a fresh batch from the farmers market yesterday. Aunt Jemima aint got sh*t on it. You just cant replicate the real thing.
@rouflex: The only thing we ever stole was poutine, and if we didn't steal it, the americans would have, called it "Southern Joy" and claimed it was from new york. Be thankful.
@rd189: From the Canadian culture to Hockey passing by poutine and maple syrup... Everything. You should be thankful i called you guys Canadians and not Britains of America.
@rouflex: Hockey was invented in Ontario, Rye Wheat in Alberta, and Syrup is for all!!!!!
I gotta question for you, why does Quebec take $6.5 TRILLION a year from Alberta, then you call us mean things like Rednecks and Hillbillies, make fun of our trucks, and tell us our hockey teams suck? What, our money is good enough but the rest of us aint? We have feelings too ya know :(
@rd189: Modern Ice Hockey was invented in Montréal Québec, Québec is not injustement taking anything away from the self destructive province that is Alberta, the Maple symbols/mooses/beaver were there while we were in Nouvelle-France (You know before the invasion)under Canada (The Colony). About 80% of the ''Canadian'' maple syrup is in Québec. We invented the anthem. Even when the country was named Canada you guys were not considering yourselves as one before UK gived you guys more independance for helping them. You guys even tryed to steal our ''Mon Pays ce n'est pas un pays c'est l'hiver'' and Les Canadiens. Fans seems to forget that the Maroons and Wandereers were the one standing for you guys and they lost it all.
@rouflex: And yet the Nordiques never won a cup, The Canadiens havent won one since the 70's, and your provincial government is essentially a hells angels chapter. Alberta has oil, and Alberta pays for everything. So, we own you. Therefore, pipe down and be glad we keep your lights turned on. Or, elect a sensible government, develop that trillion dollar shale reserve you guys have, and find out whats it like to work for a living :) Until then, since we bankroll all your precious social programs, we'll feel free to steal what ever we want from your pogey loving province. Vive la Alberta libre!!!
@rd189: Classic ignorance. Perhaps you should know by then that Québec also have oil and a cleaner one. Alberta never payed for our debts and can s+_+ck it up to Usa if they want to for the care i have. Why do you even bring the Nordiques here? Trying to deny the fact that the Habs despite being wrongly named Habs does not stand for Québec? Just ask the Wanderers and they will tell you.
@rd189: I'm only explaining why we should rename Canada Britains of America and why Québec should be renamed Canada after his independance... You can't even follow a discussion.
@blacklegraph: No sir. Beautiful Calgary, Alberta. Hence why me and Rouflex are arguing. Quebec and Alberta hate each other as much as Texans hate California, or something like that. I've never been to Toronto Expo, but I want to go one day, it's better then ours.
@rouflex: We should name Quebec "For Sale" or "Pogeyville" Whilst Canada remains, "Canada". :) and independence, psssh. You'd last a week before begging us to take you back.
I do not hate Alberta, i just hate when peoples can't see facts. Oh and if Québec do get sold the guy who would have the rights would also own every rights of the term Canada and it culture would be it b1ch. I'm not even sorry though.
Calgary lost and Mtl won! Take that pollution man.
@rouflex: You realize Parliment owns "Canada" right? Actually, the Queen does technically. It just wont happen man. I don't hate Quebec either. I just think they are strange, strange folk.
Also:
It took 3 years for you to beat the Sharks? THE SHARKS?!?!?!?!?!?!? Calgary has trounced them every game this year. And yeah we lost. It was an OT loss though, so we still get the point, and keep our playoff spot.

That's all fine and dandy as long us you guys acknowledge that Ontario is the best. It's a matter of fact, but some people can be stubborn about it.
@princearagorn1: Ohh, id gadly plant my flag in Robin anytime ;) Colbie Smothers is fiiiiinnnneeee.
And our money is far supperior to American money. Because it is color coded, you can easily select which bill you need, and organize your bills in an effecient way, rather then having to look at each individual bill to figure out whats what, since american bills are all the same. Further more, loonies and toonies are way more useful then 1 dollar bills. Coins are just better period.
@ccraft: Have yet to do so, but its on the list. Is it good?

Please remind me who made it to two conference final in the past 5 years and who didnt? Who is at first place and who is fighting for a spot? You cannot tame us.
Ps:Which canadian team has a Québécois as a coach?
