Star Wars Episode III: The Backstroke of The West

i saw revenge of the sith last time at a local theater with my friends back in Melaka. In my opinion, it was much better than the first two movies and a fitting end (err.. middle) to the star wars saga.

the next day i was walking past my friendly dvd salesperson and decided to check out revenge of the sith. i was assured the quality was good and for RM8, so why not give it a shot.

Aside from the counters on the top of the screen and a distorted perspective it was ok- not high quality but watchable. the captions were a hilarious surprise- a direct english translation of the chinese interpretation of what the script was saying. it varied from being somewhat close to the script to being 'far far away'....

Well, not too long ago, we saw Rambo 4 which subtitles was also mangled. It turned our mundane hang out session into a really hilarious and interesting one. It is amazing how these people make simple things into something really complicated...

Enjoy...

a restaurant menu actually reads this:

Hmmm, such tempting delicacies…. I guess there’s a niche restaurant for every kind of customer…

Seriously, here's one video you've gotta check out. However, this video has extreme grotesque scenes and are extremely awesome. By far the most gory, violent, and funny video ever!

Enjoy this 80's Hong Kong B-Grade Action movie dubbed in English!

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real money.
It's all about how to choose a correct companion who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.

You can get interested, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
