Well, should Turkey join the European Union? Yes? No? Do you care? I'm actually quite interested to see what Americans think of Turkey joining the EU, seeing how President Bush has always seemed to be in favour of it. Personally, I'm against it. Passionately so. You may not have an opinion...

Hey everyone; I recently saw Shrek 2 (very funny, Banderas and Saunders were a hoot, and Murphy's irritating Donkey was less important) and I thought the soundtrack was great. However, one particular song which stood out for me was 'Little Drop of Poison' by Tom Waits, which Captain Hook sings...

Try to leave the actor out of this (though I admit it is hard), which gangster did you really hate and love at the same time, who were you rooting for and booing at? Which gangster in the movies really left a mark on you? Let the game begin... Ant.

Hey everyone; Basically, to cut a long story short, I need the help of a few journalists to inform me about journalism for my novel, as one of the characters in it is a journalist, so I'm asking if any of you journalists out there (or students who study Journalism) can help me out in this...

An interesting issue; should Europe have to pay for the war? "Chirac warns on 'post-war' plans" The summit was notable for a frosty atmosphere, said commentators French President Jacques Chirac has warned he will not accept any UN resolution allowing the United States and Britain to...

It remains, for me, one of the most, if not THE most, disturbing film I have seen. Disturbing as it is horrific, horrific as it is abhorrent, abhorrent as it is accurate, accurate as it is true. Has anyone heard of Ken Russel's finest film to date? It tells the story, the very true story, of...

Well, which one is it? The thrilling first part, the epic second, or the tragic ending of the third? My votes goes to Part II.

I'm curious to see who saw it and what people thought of it. Myself, on the whole I really enjoyed it. Yes, it was shallow and not a lot actually went on, but the visuals were fantastic, the directing was masterful and the perfomances, especially from Paul Newman, were great. Actually, Paul...

I would like to know what people thought of this. Big surprise? No surprise? What are the implications for the future, will the rest of Europe follow in Support, or is that far-fetched? Ant.

I do think that most American posters here will not have heard of perhaps the most sublime poet ever to have graced this world, and that is not a criticism, its an observation, since I have conversed with some very well read American readers, and have, at best, found Federico Garcia Lorca as...

Seeing You Before seeing you, My eyes anticipates the sign of your face in the horizon of the mundane; Inspired by the promise of Requitement. After seeing you, There is a sudden emptiness, buried in the depth of my mind, which comes because we've departed to our own Separate Ways. After...
