Seriously? Are you saying that just to get a rise outta people or did you really think it sucked? What kind of movies (aside from documentaries about black holes) do you like?

LOL
FWIW, I thought LOTR sucked, too. Just not my type of movie.

Most overrated TV shows:
Grey's Anatomy
Survivor (why is it still on?)
Dancing with the Stars
Friends
Overrated Movies:
Harry Potter (okay while I love them, they were super overhyped and the last one totally didn't meet the hype. If that makes sense)
Twilight
Overrated Books:
Twilight
Eragon
I personally was told that these books/series are awesome and I tried reading them and could not get into them. If a book doesn't grab my attention within the first chapter, I'm done reading.
The same actually goes for a movie and TV show for me. If it hasn't "grabbed" my attention within 15-20 minutes, I'm done watching.

I disagree with Eragon being Overhyped...it was Epic fail all the way thru

I kind of liked Eragon. I had to force myself through Eldest however and I doubt I'm even going to read Brisinger.

LMAO right! and im SO glad i held out and didnt buy a PC with Vista OS. i really think i wanna go Mac now.
and i really had to count backwards: 7, Vista, XP, 2000, NT, 98, 95. maybe NT was after 2000.
Question DS: what warrants a renaming of a Windows OS? Sure updates are made to technology all the time - but theyre numbered (like AOL did - 2.5, 3, etc. they made to 9.0 before it got ridic and unnecessary). what changes so much, aside from the format/layout (like XP and Vista look and kinda work different), to completely rename it and sell it on new computers?
is it purely $$?

funny that you ask but quite simply Win 7 is the 7th OS.
Win 3.1, 95, 98, ME, XP, Vista and now 7.
NT and 2000 were running off of XP's architecture.
Come to the Mac side of the Force.

well i figured it was the 7th OS. apparently im too young to remember 3.1 (i wouldve been 11 when Win95 came out, plus my elementary schools used Macs then, Apple 2e - why do i remember that?) and blanked on ME altogether.
i hate that the nomenclature is inconsistent. as is Windows general awesomeness. i just saw that new slim macbook in person today and was in love. (the owner came back from the bathroom and slid the laptop from between her folded NYTimes!)
i was impressed, especially since my 10-lb, 2004 POS Compaq is the equivalent to a hooptie on Pimp My Ride. buttons falling off (who needs a Q anyway?), print wearing off, spacebar sticking, painter's tape on the side, noisy fan, dust permanently in crevices... it just looks ancient. and obviously a hot mess.
ETA: you no answer my question. why come out with a new OS? especially when the time between XP -> Vista -> 7 is so short?

well come to mac where everything is named after predatory cats!
beginning Hijack here:
ETA This Morning: Why come out with new OSes? Well that depends on who you talk to.
Some say that Microsoft never really got XP right although XP is the one OS (as well as NT) that most businesses still use because of the stability.
Most did not adapt to Vista because of the incompatibility with drivers in some PC manufacturers which was way worse than it was when XP first came out.
Then there is the Linux issue which I cannot claim to fully understand albeit to say when you have an open source and FREE OS (as well as Ubuntu and other) that a few have adapted to, to get their PC running in any way they see fit.
Then of course there is the Mac issue. Me personally, I am in the camp that says the Microsoft made a good attempt to rip off the Mac OS and did a 1/2 @ssed job at doing so.
One good guess at the reason why Microsoft came out with Windows 7 is they want an OS that is stable and one they may hopefully won't have to patch so much (altho people have already found ways to break it HA!) as well as compete with Apple and to really make up for the failure that was Vista. It's one thing when consumers buy it but when businesses refuse to let go of a nearly 10 year old OS means that you effed up you bottom line.
Keep in mind however, the biggest difference between a Mac and Windows machine where the OS is concerned is that Apple uses pretty much the same parts for their machines across the board with fewer exceptions then Microsoft.
Meaning in short, on the MS end of things you can take 3 different brands (HP, Acer and Dell for instance) and they all have the similar specs but you will find differences in how they perform (remember this is the short version and I don't want to make it too confusing) whereas 2 macbooks with the same factory specs are the same macbooks until you do aftermarket upgrades.
Microsoft is picky about what they give their blessings to certifying particular PC parts,which has caused issues with their OS and machines being wonky,Apple just builds it all themselves w/o the hassle of 3rd party manufacturers (ltho there is a case pending: Apple sues Psystar) and thus they are capable of producing more stable machines.
if you have any further questions PM me.
/end of hijack...we now return you to your previous thread w/o further interruptions.
