Heh, awesome. Marvel really needs to get on this.

 

[lixdexia]

someone needs to help me understand how to make firefox stop resizing pages and making them hard to read please.

 

[Darthphere]

Just CTRL + or -. No big deal.

 

[lixdexia]

hahahahaha, awesome! my jock jams mix thanks you darth

 

[Darthphere]

I seriously don't know why it does that though and it is kind of annoying.

 

[Manic]

Since when does Firefox resize pages?

Since when does Firefox resize pages?

i guess since the latest version. i hate it

 

[Darthphere]

Every version of Firefox has done that to me. All of a sudden the text will become tiny. I don't know if I'm pressing some hot key by accident or what but it has happened to me.

 

[Manic]

Firefox never resizes anything for me. Then again, I'm still using version 4.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm on the latest version and I haven't noticed any unsolicited resizing.

 

[lixdexia]

it just started with me, it's horrible. but now that i know how to fix it,...meh.

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah admittedly it hasn't happened to me in a while but around version 7 and 8, all the time.

I notice it happens a lot with my laptop when I'm not using my mouse and only using the pad. I'm not sure how I do it exactly, but to fix it I have to press my two index fingers inward on the pad. Didn't know about the crtl +/- thing, though. Much easier.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Also, is anyone planning to pick up the Adventure Time comic next week? I usually don't bother with licensed comics all that much, but they had a preview for it that looked pretty fun, even if the writing seemed like it could go either way.

Yeah it would happen more on my laptop than anything. ****ing pinch and zoom trackpad.

the Descendants review

It has been a great pleasure to watch 2 really good George Clooney movies in such a short time. 1st the movie he co-starred, directed and co-wrote the Ides of March, now a family comedy-drama directed by Alexander Payne.

The movie deals about a family dealing with the Mother Elizabeth going into comatose and the inevitable death she is going to face, the family’s man/father is Matt King (played by George Clooney) and the protagonist of the film, but the way the film is played and the spotlight given, I’d say the father and his two daughters are protagonist all together. 10-year Old Scottie (Amara Miller) and 17-year Old Alex (Shailene Woodley) are the daughters, Scottie being an artistic adventurous foul mouth kiddo with Alex being the drunken pot smoker who has a thing for older men. Matt has always been the back-up parent and now he has to deal with trying to raise them all by himself.

Now what intervenes and molds part of the main plot with the family having to deal with Elizabeth’s death is also that she cheated behind Matt’s back and Matt feels he must see this cheater and learn why Elizabeth would be a backstabber to her husband and children. So Matt has to deal with this, his daughters and informing about Elizabeth’s ensured death and her inevitable funeral to their loved ones. This is Matt King’s personal hell on the paradise Hawaii.

“My friends think that just because we live in Hawaii, we live in paradise. We’re all just out here sipping Mai Tai’s, shaking our hips and catching waves. Are they insane? Do they think we’re immune to life? How can they possibly think our families are less screwed up? Our heartaches, less painful?” is a quote that actually opens the movie, but it’s the perfect way for me to talk about the other star of the movie: Hawaii itself. Just like what Peter Jackson did to New Zealand with his Lord of the Rings trilogy. Alexander Payne manages to show how utterly beautiful Hawaii can be, but at the same time showing how much the same it is, how dirty it can be and how dark and grey if the peoples’ moods are down. I really liked the quote and I paid a lot of attention to the scenery and greatly enjoyed how much of Hawaii I got to see. The film is also filled with Hawaiian music, which I felt was a good choice to add up for the sceneries.

What I really loved about the movie was that it had really unique and different characters, the supporting characters we’re good, and all the main characters and their supporting characters got developed during the course of the movie and life went on. They all learn something from this experience and come off as smarter and better people with new values, it uplifts them and it uplifts the audience. I just really loved how George Clooney gets to do these incredibly serious movies with 10 year old daughters swearing, family crises and dealing with serious subjects like death in a family.

So without a further doubt, I warmly recommend this movie to everyone. It’s really good.

I liked the story. I only played it up to part 2, but what I played was awesome.

It is a really good game

I'll be checking it out I think because I loves Adventure Time

Yeah well for some reason, no one can seem to take a crack at Wynne. I bet she's got all kinds of moves since all they do in the Circle is cast spells, ***** about Templars and ****.

 

[RoughNTumble]

so is adventure time like the new spongebob or what

That sounds like a challenge to me

basically. except even more obviously aimed at stoners.

 

[Mystirious]

And with a lesbian vampire who's a great guitar player

 

[Tron Bonne]

Lesbian vampire? You mean Marceline...? I never got that, she even had that evil ex-boyfriend come back that episode with dancing baby Finn.

Anyway, as far as being the next Spongebob, I don't know. If you mean in terms of popularity, maybe. I think it's one of CN's highest rated shows, but I don't think it's quite become the phenomena like Spongebob did in his hayday, though it may get there at some point. In terms of content, though, I don't think so. Admittedly, I never watched much of Spongebob, but what I did watch never caught me much as anything more than just a fun kid's gag show. Adventure Time has some sharp writing and vivid imagination and, while it's definitely easily enjoyed by kids, it's almost even more enjoyable to adults because it has occasions of real dark wit and touching moments. It also has it's own little continuity and internal logic that makes it, I think, a little more layer for older audiences. But, like I said, I never really got into Spongebob (I actually never got the appeal to that one), so maybe it is/was more like that than I'm aware.
