I can't get it through my head, how people still believe in those (real stupid) (chain-alike) e-mail attachments about luck or money.
Here's an example:
" Here something that you might want to read it was on the news .
Subject: FW: PLEEEEEASE READ!!!! It was on the news!
Dear friends,
Something to share with all of u. Would u believe if this is true? Read on..... For those who need money badly and this is one opportunity to try it! I'm an attorney, and I know the law. This thing is for real. Rest assured AOL and Intel will follow through with their promises for fear of facing a multimillion-dollar class action suit similar to the one filed by PepsiCo against General Electric not too long ago.
Dear Friends,
Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates is sharing his fortune. If you ignore this you will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test. When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it (if you are a Microsoft Windows user) for a two week time period. For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00, for every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $241.00. Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a cheque.
Regards.

[CONTACT DETAILS REMOVED]
I thought this was a scam myself, but two weeks after receiving this e-mail and forwarding it on, Microsoft contacted me for my address and within days, I received a cheque for US$24,800.00. You need to respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can afford this Bill Gates is the man. It's all marketing expense to him. Please forward this to as many people as possible. You are bound to get at least US$10,000.00.
We're not going to help them out with their e-mail beta test without getting a little something for our time. My brother's girlfriend got in on this a few months ago. When I went to visit him for the Baylor/UT game. She showed me her check. It was for the sum of $4,324.44 and was stamped "Paid In Full".
Like I said before, I know the law, and this is for real Intel and AOL are now discussing a merger which would make them the largest Internet company and in an effort make sure that AOL remains the most widely used program, Intel and AOL are running an e-mail beta test. "
I just found that in my e-mail inbox. It was even translated into Swedish. Oh my gosh, I can't understand how people fall for it. Well, if anyone is still having their doubts, here's a link with the state of reliability.

I got four more movies to tell..
Yeah, that's right, having summer vacation and all, means lots of spare time. So, last couple of 36 hours we've seen four(!) different movies (although I watched 'CB4' myself, while she were asleep). Here's the short summary plus personal opinion.
First of is 'Michael Clayton', directed by Tony Elroy, with production assistance from (among others) Sidney Pollack and Steven Soderbergh. The film was more than two hours long, which somewhere reaching in upon the middle seemed like pretty long. However, towards the last third it started to get really exciting, plus the bare fact that pieces (like always) were starting to make pretty logical sense. To be honest, after watching only half an hour, I thought to myself "Gah, just go on, get the end credits sometime soon", 'cuz I didn't get that particular feeling of being "hooked". Anyways, it would turn to the better.
The story to begin with? Michael Clayton (George Clooney) works as an attorney for a really big firm with hundreds of laywers. So, thanks to his old friend Arthur (Tom Wilkinson) he manage to get involved in a huge case that has been opened for six years, involving a huge company in one end, and a handfull of ordinary human beings (landowners) in the other (think 'Erin Brockovich' and you'll have a good clue). How does he get involved? Well, not to spoil the plot but let's say that (being one of the firm's best lawyers, for that matter) Arthur has a little state of mind issue. Then put the real creepy "janitors" slash "cleaners" up against the "ordinary" law-bending attorneys. Add car bombs and millions of dollars, and you'll find out that people will do just about(!) anything for the cause of green.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465538/
http://michaelclayton.warnerbros.com/
The second movie was 'CB4', a classic (1993) hiphop comedy about a fictional group of emcees calling themselves "Cell Block 4".
A couple of - rather shocking - coincidences, such as the local thug gangster Gusto being sent do jail, leaving his legendary(?) name as a landmark; a perfect target for a couple of emcee-wannabe kids to steal, thus giving them cause for some public attention. Wow, starting to get hot, huh? Well, it won't take long before CB4 is on everyone's lips and their first hit "Sweat on my Balls" is heard constantly on the radio. So, when (the real) Gusto is hearing about all this from his cell block, he gets.. let's say upset! :-) This was really fun. 7/10. Can't help myself from wondering if my approach on a few things would be difficult if I had seen this film around 1998. I will never know for sure..
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106500/
So, I'm stuck on the case of not having seen 'Minority Report' until now. It was the best film I've seen in quite some time now. Not surprisingly IMDb user voting is up at 7.7/10 (over >101,000 vts). Directed by Steven Spielberg himself, after the novel by famous sci/fi writer Philip. K. Dick.
The story takes place in year 2054. People has stopped committing murders, since a new system called "Precrime" has been taken in use in Washington. There are three persons, who due to truly-not-an-act-of-God has gotten the ability/curse(?) to see into the future. Well, mostly horrifying things then, such as murders(!). These persons are kept inside a weird-looking water pool in "The Temple", where they lay 24/7 with wires connected to their heads. Special units has been formed to "be there before the perpetrator hits". This way, not one single murder has been reported in Washington DC for the last couple of six years (since the start of Precrime). So, a perfect world huh? Don't be so sure about that. When system seems to fail, does it really fail or is it just opening up a few hatches to things that people deserve to know? You should see this movie. The filming environment is marvelous, also bearing in mind that this movie is six years old (again, why the heck havn't I seen it before??).
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181689/
Last out was 'Startdust', a quite new film, which title I always seem to mix up with 'Sunshine', a sci/fi flick I havn't even seen yet.
IMDb votes up at 8/10 made this an interesting film. My fiancé had already seen it (and gave her thumbs up), so I took the opportunity of watching it while she was at her parent's place over a couple of hours. So, what did I think? When I felt what the story was going to be like, I actually didn't know what to think. Could be that I was not prepared of another two hours of prediction (since we had seen the ~2h15m Minority Report just an hour earlier). Anyways, the story was "nice", the way these romantic sagas are supposed to be. Anyways, after seing Minority Report (with a plot that could just aswell have turned reality in forty years or so) this one felt just a bit too much of a saga. Magical or not. Anyways, great for the kids. 7/10, because the sack was tied together in the best possible way.

Item: "Konica Minolta DiMAGE X60"
I've long thought about writing a tribute to my faithful compact camera, which came in a perfectly fitted leather case when I first bought it back in fall of 2005. So, here's finally a description of my love for this little piece of lens machinery. My friend had an old Canon IXUS compact camera (probably around 2 megapixels), in which I'd always liked the picture quality. So, I'm not really sure why I (when I had finally managed to save up for an own camera) decided to buy one from this manufacturer instead. Around a year ago, my little niece got a IXUS camera for birthday present. I tried to compare the picture quality, and (still unsure of whether just imagining) even though, I thought that the IXUS camera took just a little bit "sharper" photos than my own KONICA MINOLTA. Anyways, I didn't bury myself in this, because my camera has been giving me lots of joy for almost three years. So, I just couldn't wish for more ;)
The specs for the camera isn't worth mentioning. It's a simple compact camera. 5 megapixels (from what I rarely use more than 3 megapixels of resolution), easy to use, SD multimedia cards for picture luggage. Also the possibility of shooting .MOV (15fps, 320x240) film clips. The quality's discussable, but still enough for most on-the-fly coverage.
Oh, I also found a quite thick review on the camera. Check the link below if you're interested in pictures and more specifications. Oh, what the heck, you're probably not. It's been like three and a halv year since this camera came out, if whoever's-reading-this is planning on a new compact camera they'd probably just Pricerun themselves to the best Kodak Easyshare (where ~8 megapixels is probably standard nowadays).

Yesterday after the cinema..
Me and my fiancé went to her place so that I could hook on to the net, just to throw a blog. She thought I'd take some time, so we decided she would go ahead to my place. So, after the blog was finished and I was about to leave I just thought of something: she had the keyring with the key to my bicycle lock. Oooh no!
Unfortunately, my cell battery was low so I had left it on charge when we went to the movie, so I couldn't call for her to meet me or something. Well, I had better get going. So, the Umeå (C) -> Ålidhem (SW) stretch isn't so long, but it took me at least half an hour on my apostle horses. When I finally got home I had a huge welcome hug and a real grilled toast sandwitch, which was really what I needed.
At Midnight, Swedish TV3 showed 'Exorcist: The Beginning', which was the worst movie I've seen in quite a while. A frightful story, aswell as a blasphemy in God's faith, if you ask me. 2/10.

Movie: "Sex and the City" (2008)
Time for a cinema visit. Gosh, I've just spent 2½ hours in a cinema auditorium. Whoa, it's been like ..ages.. since the last time I went to see a movie on the big screen. Oh, Casino Royale with my older sister. Anyways, this was really long ago.
So, now I've seen this epic saga about these four young(?) women who knows how to balance up their career with their love lives, plus having that extravagant eye for mainstream faschion. I read a review from a contemporary Swedih causerie writer slash known-entertainer. He gave the film a particularly good review, describing it as "having flare", and that it would tell today's stressed-out people that they should try to enjoy their presence, or something like that. I can still not get to my head whether the man was being sarcastic, or telling his truthful opinion.
(SPOILER WARNING*)
One thing that made me curious was how Carrie got upset by not having the same area code number when she changed her phone number. I mean, she threw away her phone and her assistant helped her with the details on getting a new one. So, I assumed the thing was still about mobile communications. So, when she was upset of having "another area code" Miranda explained that her new number was part of "the new" New York. However, Carrie still felt like a part of "the old" New York (touché*). Well, to the point. Does US/NY provide different area codes(!) for cellular phone subscriptions? Here in Sweden we have three "prefix codes" for the mobile networks (070/073/076; having grown up in the same order, probably because of available numbers becoming an article in short supply). Anyways, I thought the system always was built like this. Evidently, it's not. Anyways, it could be fictional, aswell as it could be me getting hold of the wrong end of the stick.
Anyways, I won't throw ill criticism over this one. It was actually really entertaining. I can't say I found myself neither bored or lost during these two and a half hours of playtime. First off, the title sequence was well-mannered, it really impressed me. However, it may aswell be the fact that big-set-of-speakers DTS sound system and that ~100 inch motion-picture screen that bewildered me in this rush. Gaah, what the heck. I enjoyed the movie. I give it 6/10. Quite a strong 6 also, because I wasn't even a bit tired (only a bit urgent to strech my legs) after the long play time.
Oh, the first time I visit the SF picture theatre here in Umeå. It was nice, disregarding the - quite dreadful - ticket man who answered my short question "Ewrhm is this the right queue for theatre room #8?" with - in a robot-like voice - repeating (only) our row/seat numbers. Heh, guess every residence comes with it's peculiarities :-)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1000774/
http://www.carriebradshaw.com/
My beloved fiancé gav the movie a 5/10.
"You cannot go dressed like that, being that old. It's silly. I like the old episodes better. It's getting creepy, almost gross. They seem artificial, with those severe retouches, etc. They don't look like that at the paparazzi pictures."

3 movies I've seen lately
- Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367594/
http://chocolatefactorymovie.warnerbros.com/
Oh my gosh, why the heck took me so long? I can't understand why no one has told me about the magnificancy t I seen this film until now? I've written these plot summary the wrong way (starting from the bottom) so my fingers/sense of language is all worn out, check IMDb for a plot summary. However, one thing for certain is that you should watch this film immediately. You will not regret it. The story is darn so brilliant. My fiancé hadn't seen the picture until now, but she had read the books as a child. I know I havn't. "Are you really sure your mother havn't read you the story about Willy Wonka and his chocolade factory?", she asked me repeatedly. Well, I'm pretty sure she hasn't, I would have remembered such a magnificent saga. Morals, joy, thrill, everything is A plus. I guess what makes it so tremendously great is the fact that it's PG-rated. Funny thing, alot of these really good films are actually not the R-rated ones. Interesting point. 8 out of 10, indeed. - The Fountain (2006)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0414993/
http://thefountainmovie.warnerbros.com/ - Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082694/
Now wow, the sequel to the first film about the fearless come-to-be-outlaw "Max", running his own race in the great war where the man who has the gasoline has the victory. For some reason I regarded the first movie as a bit more "slaughtering", even though the boomerang finger-cut-scene was awsome. So, a great film. Had a few hours to myself today, so I sat myself comfortable in the easy chair. However, I noticed (in the beginning) that this film was Village Roadshow. Perhaps some sort of collaboration. Oh what the hack, from what I know Warnes Bros could aswell own Village Roadshow Pictures, so I hereby drop any investigations :) 6/10 I give this film, just because I get so "chased into" the set in these films, that goes for both films I've seen so far. And on the basis of IMDb ratings, the third movie is the best (rated by votes), so I guess I have alot of good things ahead of me. Below is two links for those who are interested in the story about Mad Max. For instance, for the last couple of ten(?) years there has been rumours about that Mel Gibson is up for his forth(!) Mad Max movie; other rumours tells that the producer's think he is getting to old for the part. Stay tuned.

A story about the circle of life. I really needed to see this, since I've been having some thoughts on my own regarding this very issue. My perspective on life has been rather well-balanced lately, but the beginning of this "wave" of mine, I must say I felt really dazed and confused. Everything was such a mess. This is a great film for other people who have had the same anxiety that I have. Because, I'm one hundred percent sure that I'm not the only twenty-something guy in this universe who've had those. Anyways, a really really great movie. 7/10. Watch it twice, if it leaves you any lose ties after the first view.

Movies - I got 2 of 'em..
Yeah, I've had lots of time watching movies lately, so I do have a couple of them to tell a few words about. Let's start from the beginning. While my beloved fiancé was on her summer work I watched 'The Good Girl' from 2002.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0279113/
Here you see Jennifer Aniston as Justine, a thirty-year-old woman who is married to a marijuana-smoking house painter who doesn't do anything but just sit in the sofa with either a refeer or a bud in his hand, talking stoned-out-gibberish with his best friend "Bubba". So, Justine is bored with her life, aswell as her job. She has worked in a supermart called "Retail Rodeo" for as long as she can remember. One day a new young man starts to work there. Thomas is his realname, but he prefer to call it "his slave name", as he would like to be refered to as "Holden Worther", after a fictional character from one of his favorite books. Justine and Holden will soon find themselves in a secret relationship, and from here on things will get alot more complicated.
So, what did I think? I actually liked this movie. It was simply 93 minutes of great drama picture. The feelings were well described / good acting, something I think most movies actually fails on, nowadays. Perhaps me being deadened on what's there, dunno. Anyways, 6 out of 10.
Next up in line was 'Rescue Dawn'. Here's Christian Bale, who you're probably more likely to remember as Patrick Bateman (American Psycho), than Batman (Batman Begins).
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462504/
Anyways..
It's in the mid-60's during the Vietnam war. Bale plays Dieter, a US air force pilot who has just been sent on a classified mission to put out a a row of specified targets on North Vietnamese territory. Well, shit hits the fan. Dieter's plane is taking too many bullets and goes down. After miraculously surviving the crash, Dieter tries to escape into the woods. It only takes a while before he's caught though. From this point we will follow the torture that Dieter (and a few other captured Americans) will suffer under imprisonment. How the story ends? Find out for yourself. This was a really great film. I'm not usually so much for war flicks, but this two hour long film felt more like one and a half or something like that. Exactly the way a really well produced(!) motion picture is supposed(!!) to feel like. So, you all should better go watch this one. I give it 7 out of 10!
