RE: Anyone know a good/cheap place to buy a ROLEX ?????

For a Rolex, go to Ilford high street, wait bye the station and wait for a guy called "Tevin the tief" tevin will sort you out with a rolex. You`ll know him, he has a long black overcoat with lots of compartments inside.

He might be able to sort you out with a few car radios as well....

RE: OK - can anyone explain the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey?!?

One more thing, the monolith was never meant to make us evolve or be the giver of stars, its simply watching us, seeing where we go and testing our reaction to it.

RE: OK - can anyone explain the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey?!?

This is without a doubt the best film ever made, and during my degree ive had to write about a thousand essay`s on it.

Bascially there is no one explanation, Kubrick made the film so that we all have to think deeply about our place in the world etc. Whatever you think the ending means, thats right.

In my opinion its a film thats shows the evolution of man, and how an "alien" or "supernatural" monolith (the big black rectangle) watches over us as we constantly change and evolve into what we think is the height of our humanity, space travel.

Ill break it down, when we were primates, we looked at the monolith with a sense of wonder, fear and excitment. However, when we next see it, when we are fully evoled, there is no wonder the curiosity remains but our own sense of arrogence has made us feel invincible. The cut from the ape throwing the bone into the air (the first man made tool) goes straight to another man made tool (HAL)

The purpose of HAL is to show us two things, firstly how our tools have risen above us. In our arrogence we create a perfect tool, one that can think for itself and dont question that if it had a mind of its own, why would it need us. Look at it from HAL`s point of view all he sees are people sleeping, eating, sun bathing.... losing to him at chess. He see`s us as weak primates, just as we were in the beginning. The second reason for HAL, and space travel, is to show how man has regressed back to his own beginnings. In space man needs to learn how to walk again, eat again, even use the loo again, just as babies do. In space we are out of place.

Then we go the the end, and the "star child" The old man, is the same man as the space traveller. He is the same person. He sees himself grow and then reach the final stage of evolution, death. Watch at the dinner table as we see him drop a glass of wine, the galss smashes but the wine remains, (container/contents = body/spirit)

He faces death, a stage in which we all believe to be the end, but then finds himself evolve into the most perfect creature, the Star Child.

Arthur C Clarkes idea for the film came from the idea that there are 30,000 dead people for every person living on earth today (well back then) And there are more then 50 times of that amount of stars in the sky, so if we really wanted, every person could have their own.

hope this has cleared this up, ive typed it really quickly so ignore mistakes etc... but as i said, the end is whatever you think it is. Thats the point with the great films, they become yours.

HELP WITH SCARTS

Just need some help, ive already tried doing a search, but for some reason it keeps saying that an error has occured, anyway here i go:

Ive recently tried using my playstation 2 on my 14inch TV (bedroom) as i dont have a scart on the tv, ive put the scart lead into the video and then connected it to the tv with my aerial wire. This works fine for PS2 game, but i cant get the DVD`s working.

Ive tried many DVD and find they all come on and then the screen goes black, before gettin a few seconds of image again?

Is there anyway i can correct this? any help will be appreciated.

Cheers

ZELDA AT E3

Ive never really been a big fan of the zelda series, but when i saw the footage of the new one at E3 i was stunned. Its loooks so perfect, it uses cell shading, it looks like a cartoon, you have to see it to believe it, i cant explain how great it looks.

The gamecube is really coming on..

RE: Memento - What the hell did I just watch?

Yep, you shouldve caught it in cinema like me ;)
AS for the killer, you can draw what ever conclusion you want. I for one think there was no killer and that guy pearce killed her, or she may not even be dead. The killer is def. not teddy though.

Any one else have n e thoughts on who the killer was?

RE: What`s the most toecurling/cringeworthy movie moment?

IF U COULD HAVE WRITTEN ANY FILM SCRIPT?

WHY ENGLAND ARE F**KED

Do you know that Trevor Sinclair shops at tesco`s. Not because of the
superior service or products but to get plenty of those trusty air miles for
Sven`s indecisiviness.

Fancy sending home an experienced distinctive midfielder who has been in great form all season, when you`ve only got 3 fit midfielders in a squad of 23. oh, now world class holding midfielder Danny Murphy`s hurt his
metatarsall, Trev get the air miles at the ready.

Sven wants to call up Alan Smith instead from the abysmal U-21`s instead. Good One, so now Danny Mills has got somebody to share his early bath with during the Sweden game. Sven`s dissapointed with Sinclair`s commitment by going home. Hang on, he wasn`t picked for the squad, so what else is he supposed to do, hang around in a B&B in Korea with the England fan club just in case the England physios realise that half their squad is injured?

By the way the midfield for the Sweden game currently reads: Bridge, Heskey, Scholes, Mills and a half-fit Beckham. Great things beckon!

RE: This will be the worst World Cup in my life so far!!

Feel sorry for me! I was looking forward to this world cup for ages, really thought england would do the business, and is all come crashing down!!

Add to that the fact that i have major exams at the moment, (which finish half way through) then have to go into hosp. for the final 2 weeks!!

Oh well... at least we did the double....
