Tried these on today, pretty cool. Dampens loud noises (like clapping) and amplifies soft noises (like water bubbling in a pool).

funny in parts, also stupid

I enjoyed his dad's book and the movie though.

I was wondering if he ever achieved Grandmaster status.

I haven't. Haven't ready any other chess books either.

Would you recommend it?

I had a subscription. Some stuff was interesting, but the majority was really boring. Even the interesting stuff was generally somewhat boring.

I like the New Yorker and Wired.

Depends of course on what you're looking for.

I've been reading this for over a month and I'm still only half-way through a book of only 260 pages. EDIT: Finally finished it, terrific book. Josh is the kid from "Searching for Bobby Fischer", a chess genius and 8-time national champion who has gone on to become a Tai Chi Push-Hands Wor...

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxYT_-9DDyE[/youtube] Saw this last night. Some parts were a little slow, but really funny for a lot of it. Very much in the vein of "Naked Gun" where the movie does not take itself seriously. "You diabolical dick-shrinking motherfucker's!!"...

Finished the book last week and saw the movie last night. First off, the book changes part of the way through. I was partial to the original plot, and while I appreciated what Lehane was doing, I didn't like it as much from the point of things shifting. Still finished it, but I wasn't excited anymor...

Half-way through the book, very good.

Looking forwards to the movie.

I saw a review that said it was a movie with incredible 3D effects with 1D characters and storyline.

I agree.

Moar 3D!!!!!!!

If you've seen "The Blair Witch Project," this is very similar. A likable young couple, one with a history of being haunted, decide to document any bizarre behavior using a digital camera. As the movie progresses, predictably so does the severity of the encounters. For the most part the ch...

I liked that movie, Gummo I couldn't make it through. But the kid in Gummo working out with taped together silverware to Madonna...good scene

I love documentaries, I second American Movie (funny), and Roger and me and have heard great things about King of Kong and Man on Wire.

I laughed a bit, but overall was disappointed. Wouldn't recommend seeing it even on DVD.

By the way, this guy works out at my current gym:

I used to work at the UCSB gym, I would have loved to watch that guy vomiting on my shift.

I still don't get what the problem is.

If Dave Tate is a good instructor or speaker, then does it really matter who he presents his information to?

Is his information bad depending on who listens to it?

Is his integrity compromised depending on who listens to it?

I don't get what Dave Tate did wrong.

I'd like to preface this by saying I tried to read Gladwell's other two books, "The Tipping Point," and "Blink." I thought they were at first interesting, but then boring and repetitive. Half-way through each I gave up. I read all of "Outliers." It's a fun read with a b...

That was a depressing movie.

I thought this movie was pretty shitty. Robert Downey, Jr. was funny and a few scenes apart from him were good (the first 15 minutes and simple jack), but this was difficult to sit all the way through.

Very good movie.
