I rather enjoyed The Postman. Like another poster mentioned, however, I'm also really into the post-apocalyptic genre.

Well, I thought it was average at best. It had some good moments in it, but I had to pause it twice because I was so bored with it. I do not get the hype for this movie.

The first time I saw TBL, I got to "Gutterballs" and just gave up. I was like "This movie is weird and unfunny." So I rewound the tape and sent it back to the rental store. This was circa 1999 and I was in college. Fast forward a few years of maturity. I'm now 34 years old and TBL is one of my favorite movies ever. I've seen it a couple dozen times, own books and t-shirts, became a Dudeist priest (google it), and my city is the home of the Lebowski Fest (internationally renowned!).

Maybe clear your mind and come back to it a year or two from now. Maybe even pour yourself a few caucasians to get in the mood... or whatever it takes to keep your mind limber. :lol:

Hey, thanks! Now I don't have to watch it. Could you go ahead and post the endings to some other movies you've watched? Might save me the trouble of having to view them myself.

For those of you saying it's too easy, I'm on normal difficulty and it is VERY challenging and I'm level 27. I know I don't suck at the game, so such snark is unwarranted... but I wonder if there's something off about the difficulty settings?

Agreed. Too many.

COD is for bedwetters and guys too scared/out-of-shape to enlist for real. Or, alternately, if too young... the US will still be in armed conflict when you turn 18. No worries, bro. Start getting used to MREs and showering with groups of dudes now, before it becomes a shock to your system.

Save often. That is my biggest piece of advice for playing Skyrim. Save before going into a dungeon. Save after making it through a rough part of a dungeon. Save after leveling up. Save after killing a dragon. Save after completing a quest.

Et cetera, et cetera. I'm obsessive about it, only because I've been screwed by forgetting a few times, now.

Just came in here to say that this is my GOTY, and it isn't really close. Fricking awesome game.

Yeah, no doubt about that. I'm playing well past the point of physical exhaustion at night (well, into the morning, like now), so that's a sign of a GREAT game. I'm level 19 right now and have barely scratched the surface of what the game can offer.
