It's pointless as computer screens don't get burn-in anymore, which was the original purpose of the screensaver. Nowadays, if I'm away from my computer, I just turn the screen off.


so maybe losing the internet signal wasn't related to this :?

it is completely unnecessary on any and all modern computers. It is a relic from when computer monitors were those big CRT boxes as those things would get burn-in if they were left on a single image for too long.

I was watching this show on TV about this guy who helps cats and their owners who have some type of issue they need help with and they had this cat on there that just freaked out all the time and was scaring the 5 year-old child in the house and the family had no idea what was wrong with the cat. The guy came in and observed the cat and talked about what happened when the cat first started the behavior and everything. The guy came to the conclusion that it was suffering from PSTD and he also observed something else which he had the family go to a vet/specialist to confirm and they also discovered that the cat was pretty much blind. That poor kitty was just constantly terrified. Luckily the cat guy was help to help the kitty and the family so he wasn't always so scared and freaked out all the time. It made me think a little of Sarah in my story as I was watching it.

I don't think I've ever even heard of it. :?

AY almost never got to sleep. Tried for 2 hours, but just felt too bad to be able to fall asleep, so I was up until after sunrise.

Ah, it's a comedy with Jonah Hill, Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn. Have to leave soon, it starts in 1 hour. :P

Ah, that sucks. :|

Yeah, a couple people were up on one of my other forums so that gave me something to do, instead of just sitting up feeling bad.

don't know if you've gone already but it is definitely a funny movie that is worth seeing. It's a bit raunchy at times, but it does a great job blending the comdey with the story

I did go and watched the movie, and it was worth the money for sure.
Did get many great laughs from it, especially from Jonah Hill. :)

I can't belive that I haven't seen that movie yet, me and some friends was supposed to see that movie but every time some of us got other stuff we had to do. :dnod: Need to find that to download soon. :)

Last movie I saw before this was the new batman like 3 weeks ago, that movie was truly epic, not as good as the 2nd movie with Heath Ledger but it was still an amazing movie.

It was a fun movie. The last thing I saw before that was This Means War in February. Those are the only two things I've seen this year. Before that I saw some movie called Killer Elite that had someone named Yvonne Strahovski in it. :P

I've only heard GREAT stuff about the avengers. I've actually only seen 4 movies at the movies this year, last year I saw atleast two a month for the whole year. I saw Hugo back in March, Chronicle back in Febuary, Batman last month and the watch today.

I haven't downloaded as much movies this year either, don't really know why. :?

Ah, Killer Elite, that's one hell of a cast there, Clive Owen, Jason Statham, Robert De Niro and Dominic Purcell. I didn't love the movie though, it wasn't all that bad either, it was just a good movie.

Yeah, the movie wasn't super awesome or anything, but it wasn't awful either and it was an enjoyable enough way to spend two hours. If it didn't have Yvonne in it I wouldn't pay to watch it, but it's something I'd watch for free on TV. But the price was well worth it to see Yvonne on the big screen. I had fun with that. :)

Jason Statham and Robert De Niro and well Clive Owen would make me watch it even if Yvonne wasn't in it.
Especially the king De Niro, and Statham never really lets you down in his kick-ass scenes.

Yvonne in it was of course a bonus, even if I think they losed on having her doing so little, but I guess that was just what they needed from a woman in the movie. Yvonne wouldn't let us down if she got more on her hands. ;)

They did delete some of her scenes. :( I want to get the DVD to see them and I love that Yvonne's picture is on the back of the DVD box. :) I have The Canyon and her Lego movie already. The Canyon DVD has some pretty nice special features, especially for being such a small movie.

They did? :dnod:

Ah, only got the BD's and DVD with Chuck. I can't really see myself buy home Killer Elite, or Lego. The Canyon was pretty great though. I really hope that I, Frankenstein or what ever the name is for it now gonna deliver big time, not sure if it will go out to the cinemas here in Sweden both I hope so. Good cast outside of Yvonne aswell.

I got both The Canyon and the Lego movies for really good prices. I'm looking to do the same for Killer Elite. I wasn't the one to actually pay for those movies though. The only things with Yvonne I've used my money for were the Chuck DVDs.

How good prices? I suck at finding good stuff for cheap price, I think I got away fairly good with Season 1-5 Chuck on Bluray but that's like all.

Btw, how much does it cost to go to the movies in the states?
