movie menz
My wife really enjoyed No Country For Old Men the other day and said that it made her want to see movies that have that kind of feel and I knew instantly what she meant. The cinematography and the simple plotline all evoke certain characteristics of the solid 80s and 90s cinema. We started rhyming movies off that fit the bill and they were: Heat, A Simple Plan, Interview With A Vampire, The Firm... films that just have a solid acting core, simple enough story but with just a real sense of place and atmosphere.
Films that fit this elusive criteria?
Great suggestions here last time, more please! http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=16195524

I've always been a visual person and one of the most common compliments I get about my writing is that the readers often feel very much a part of what is going on, they can 'see' what's happening on page very vividly and that it's often quite engaging.
The most common complaint I get about my writing is that it tells too much and doesn't show... now one would think that would be difficult given the compliments, but not really. I know what the problem is. I previsualise everything that goes onto paper, so effectively I am transcribing a movie into a book and in the process, capture too much information and draw too much detail.
So, for me to progress with writing I have to do one of two things:
1. Review how I write and strip it down the bare essentials, stop describing just as much, leave more to the reader's imagination and see how that goes.
2. Take how I write into a different medium, specifically, screenplays.
It makes sense for me to give screenplays a go, I absolutely adore cinema and have been addicted to movies since I was a child. I understand what makes movies work, what makes them exciting, what makes them moving, and similarly I know what makes them suck.
Plus, it seems like these stories I have are movies playing in my head and if people find that the most engaging part of my stories... then maybe I'm just using the wrong medium in the first place.
So... yeah. I guess I'll give 2 a shot and see how it goes, though I know it's probably infinitely more difficult to get a screenplay accepted by an agent and translated into a movie than it is to get a literary agent and get a book published.

Just played 4 games tonight. 3 games against vov1n (1 where i tallied up a loss because my fucking xbox crashed just before we went to a shootout) and 1 horrible game against Dravenport.
Guys, there are so many of us that haven't even played a single game yet! Start adding everyone in the league to your friends lists so we can get some games on!

So, finally got The Blockade last night. Serpentis version (KIN/THERM) so pretty much lol tankwise. Did most of it on 1 repper. Fun to see that the LVL4 Blockade is actually easier than its LVL3 installment. Why? A whole lot less mobs that spawn closer (40km). No bigass swarms or anything. Guess they swapped out 3 cruisers for 1 Battleship or something. The LVL4 version is a lot more fun though, since frigs scamble and web so i wasn't able to target anything until my drones took them out. Coolness.

One of the big turning points where things got a whole lot easier was when I reached 1 million credits and got hold of the special specter gear. I've pretty much only done assignments so far (but I'm done, save for one gathering assignment). The only missions I've done after leaving the citadel was the one to get the last character.
Once I finish this I think I'm going to start over with a soldier on a higher difficulty, especially to play Renegade instead, that's gonna be awesome! :D This game freakin' rules (has a few issues that I hope they fix for the next game, mainly a menu or two, pathfinding and AI)! :)

I was wondering what a competitive salary is for 1st Line IT Support. Day to day work includes answering support tickets for local and remote users, providing direct telephone support to account managers, configuring desktop and laptop machines as well as helping out with anything else IT related (working with Active Directory , website & software support, database admin).
I know this sort of thing is region dependant, but some figures might help me get a bearing on what a good deal is.
