Jack's new thread 1 of 100...cause they asked nice

[smith18]

Did you see the 3D version?

I am trying to think of a scene in Avatar (let alone 4) where a grown non-metrosexual man watching it would cry.

Turn in your man card.

[Rob1231]

Agreed - see it in IMAX 3D if possible! Two things:

Did you realize the female lead is "played" by the same actress as portrayed Uhura in the new Star Trek?

And I really prefer the name "Dances with Smurfs"

[job]

Yes..coming to you very soon. I sent it to the usual address.

Screw you Kerry the same reasons I cry at Band of Brothers. : )


Sacrifice, Duty and Honor.

I am trying to think of a scene in Avatar (let alone 4) where a grown non-metrosexual man watching it would cry.

Hell if that [censored] doesn't tug at your heart, then you can have my man card, cause I want no membership where those things don't matter. Poor Corporate America where these things no longer make a man, but instead the size of his wallet.

BTW Kerry...nicely played.

Yes in 3D.

Dances with Smurfs...heh...good one.

Hey, I cried in "Saving Private Ryan", "It's a wonderful life", "Life is beautiful", "Why did I get married?" and "Fireproof". The later two was because of the timing of going through a divorce. Band of Brothers was excellent. The main Lt (Winters) was a man among men.

I just think that maybe the sentimental tear jerk moments were lacking - maybe it was the acting or not going deep enough with emotions. The visual effects kicked ass enough that I can say Avatar to be the greatest movie I have ever experienced.

[Jack_Three_Beans]

gottcha.

[Walking]

It's quite a movie hey?

I found it quite hard to watch actually because it's so very close to what my current job is in Indig Australia ... I have the moral and ethical discussions with myself all the time - but when it's presented like that - in all it's 3D glory - makes you thing.

Although I like to think of myself as the Sam Worthington character ......

Did I mention...no of course I didn't...that my W and I got into a fight / argument on New Years Eve/New Years?

Ayup...

I know I shouldn't have BUT...

She basically went all chick on me. Seriously. It takes two to tango and all that, but in this case unlike my marriage falling apart...I was actually innocent.

I wasn't so innocent in the argument, however.

How or why it started...not so important.

He said/she said.

The chicking out on me.

She wanted me to do something. I didn't. I gave in, and then she got upset. To the point where we weren't rockin in the New Year, instead we fought.

The reason I bring this up...isn't to point out how cool I am.

...which I am by the way. : )

The point is, that during the fight I actually noticed that I was slipping back into old Jack's way of fighting prior to DBing.

Imagine that.

And part of me, didn't want to DB. Because I was THAT pi55ed off.

But I did.

The fight turned into an argument, then talking, and ...well understanding. I was still too geared up to sleep so I went downstairs and killed some zombies.

The next day she had to work a bit and when she got home, things were still a bit tense. She asked if I was still upset I said yes.

I also asked her, if there was anything I did the other night that I should apologize for. She tought long and hard, and said, No, it was actually her fault. I then apologized for the way I reacted.

I then asked her after everything that happened if she had apologized to me.

She said if I would shutup she could. And did so.

When I say DBing is a lifestyle I mean it. I am better for it, and so is my marriage. Boundaries still exist for you, and your spouse.

The old Jack, never would have asked for an apology, he would have let that fester.



Walking...that is cool! I am sorry for the possible moral conflict.

If you go native however, send pictures, ok?

[smith18]

They say the best way to forget these arguments in a relationship is with good old make up sex. It appears you still remember the argument.

"Chick Out" - that is a new one for me. Is that Alaskan slang?

I tried google, but all I could find was this chick beach brawl about some guy...

Man, I would love women to fight over me like that! But none of them chicks are my type.

[Jack_Three_Beans]

Chicking out.

Totally my term. So when it becomes popular I started it.

When a woman does the Venus thing.

Chicking Out (v) - orgin - North American Jack
When a woman vehemently professes one thing but means another.
My wife totally chicked out on me when she said that woman was attractive and asked me if I thought so too. I was too smart however and said no at first, however, she said it wasn't a trap, and wanted my honest answer. Now I'm sleeping on the couch.
