The remake of The Others is great.
I also actually really enjoyed Orphan, which has just a bit of annoying Hollywood cheese, but was nonetheless well conceived and pretty fricking chilling in places....

[quote]Top Five musicians/bands based on this criteria
If five genres of music were chosen at random which five musicians/bands would be most likely to make good music in those genres? [/quote]
What about metal bands putting out Lou Reed music? I don't vote Metallica. Iron Maiden maybe?...

[quote]That's what makes it difficult to judge the actions of those who elect to default. There are clear cut cases where default is the right thing to do. There are also cases when it is clearly unnecessary. The difficult cases are those with unique circumstances that are only known to person makin...

2) Ethically-speaking, is it ok to walk away from your mortgage? The answer here is no.[/quote]
So that's a moral yes, but an ethical no....

[quote]One thing not touched on in the corporate BR scenario is pension obligations, which often are transferred to the PBGC, which is funded by companies with ongoing pension plans. The non-BR employers will have to pay higher contributions to the PBGC in the future and the PBGC is underfunded as i...

Yeah, I remember it being a pretty big thing 6-8 months before TD. In fact, I always thought the ONLY reason MikeLinebacker did the mashup was because it was so well-known. It wasn't like he plucked some youtube video out of obscurity. He picked it BECAUSE everyone already knew about it....

[quote]I think there are a lot of similarities between this and the home default.
