A.I - thoughts of the ending of the movie.

This didn't get many replies on WT so I'll try here too.

I had a chat with some co-workers about the ending & they were the first people I've met who loved the ending. What's your thoughts on the film & the ending?

Harmonies...

Always been a big fan. It doesn't get much sweeter than this . Thing is, looking back on this clip of James Taylor and J. D. Souther you gotta wonder about the amount of inspirational pharmaceuticals consumed prior to laying down this little number. Enjoy.

Favorite tragedy in English not by Shakespeare

It's surprisingly hard to come up with many.

Off the top of my head, I'll go with Desire Under the Elms.

Famous People

Have ye noticed that everyone is famous?

I've not heard of most so-called famous people. I've looked them up a few times and they are in, for example, soap operas I've not heard of; or football teams; or are married to someone I've never heard of who is presumed famous.

Oh, to be 'famous'!

Spreading Americanisms

"The governing body of world football will have to step up to the plate and accede to our call for a replay" says the chief of Irish football". Stepping up to the plate is something done only in baseball as far as I know. I was surprised to hear the words from an Irishman, particularly in a soccer controversy. Are such Americanisms common in Ireland? Is it the wide influence of American television and movies that is responsible?

RIP Jim Carroll August 1, 1949 – September 11, 2009

Teddy sniffing glue, he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died

Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
And I salute you brother

Those are p... more »

Gen X/Y Travel Books

I'm looking for some help, and I'm not super-familiar with travel books as a genre. Can anyone suggest any irreverent travel books, and more specifically, Gen X/Y-type travel books in the vein of Chuck Klosterman's Killing Yourself To Live and Sarah Vowell's Assassination Vacation? I know that's not a ton to go on, but like I said, I don't know much about this stuff.

I'm working an a project and any help would be much appreciated. I'm kind of stuck. Thanks!

Bill

Female travelers in history

Hi there,
I love reading about women travellers in history (Isabella Bird, Jane Digby etc etc) but wondering if anyone knows of any non-Caucasian travellers… The Victorian travellers were wonderful, but surely there were some Asian women who were out there breaking the rules and exploring the world as well?

Thanks!

Remember that thread...

...about movies that are only watchable once?

Precious. In theaters now. I guarantee it'll win a few Oscars.

But it's the feel-bad movie of the year. Just saw it. I recommend it--provided you have a relatively strong will to live.

Jeff Beck Live in London DVD

Two years ago he did a week stint at the Ronnie Scott jazz club and it was filmed. The performance, the audio quality, camera-production and the setlist are all outstanding in the truest sense. Eagle eyes will spot Page and Plant in the audience, mere days prior to ther O2 reunion. His website has been selling a so-called 'live bootleg' CD of that tour for some time--its essentially the same show. Clapton, Imogean Heap and Josh Stone do guest performances. Male eyes will be drawn to his pretty new Ozzie bassist gal Tal. A better guitar-oriented DVD from these past few years you'll not find. I am done.

Getting hotel from touts

When you get off of a bus or train in a city and are mobbed by a bunch of different touts, would it possibly be good if you just had them bid for whoever can get the cheapest room and yell their prices at you?
