Years ago I saw footage of an elephant raping a young rhino in front of the rhino's mother on Discovery channel.

This thread is kind of motivating me to do it. So what program do people use to watermark their stuff? I used to use a Microsoft photo editing program (can't remember the name/version), but since I doubt I'll be able to find that again anyone got suggestions? Just something simple that easily can put the watermark right in the corner. What program are you using now? Why can't you find the Microsoft one? Is it not on your comp?

I dunno how large the websites are that are using your pictures but I would suggest contacting them for a credit. As long as they aren't run by some Troll, I'm sure most people would be happy to stick your name under the picture. Just be cool about it and send a polite email requesting your credit.
I don't watermark my photos as I don't make money off them so I don't feel the need. But if people using your images is an issue I don't see why a discreet watermark in the corner would cause a problem. As Saline Solutions points out, if someone did crop it out, you would be able to show the full picture as proof of ownership.
However the most accurate advice I got about it all was; "If you don't want people using your photos, don't put them online".

Just home from an early showing.
It's excellent. Loads of continuity issues from previous films left unexplained. Doesn't really cause a problem if you just go with it.

I wasn't too keen on the film. The good bits were very good but there were too many dumb bits around them. Not a complete waste of time but I won't be watching it again any time soon. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Gwen Stacy's death scene and the immediate follow up were brilliantly done. Bit the chemistry between the two actors was one of the highlights of the entire film so while it was a brave decision, it might not leave them with much in the third film.

Everybody dies at some point. But The Ultimate Warrior was one of those childhood icons that you always see as immortal. When I think of the Warrior, it takes me back to the happiest time of my childhood.

I saw it last night at the midnight showing.
It's awesome. The best of the Marvel films IMO.

Played it on PS3 hoping for KOTOR in a Fantasy setting. The console controls were poorly implemented though. I still enjoyed it but could hardly tell you a thing about it.

It seemed pretty dated to me. Felt like a show from the 90s. The main guy might as well be called Jack Bland.
That said, I quite enjoyed it. Coulson carried the episode for me. Will be interesting to see if the supporting characters are strong enough to carry a Couson-less show at some point.

I always hoped Moyes would get off to a bad start. Mot because I have anything against Man U, but rather because it would be the most interesting scenario.
A lot of Man U fans only know success with the exception of one or two seasons. They've never seen them miss out on Champions League football. I heard a few folk saying things like, "We've been spoiled in recent years so a few years without success wouldn't be the worst thing in the world." If Moyes doesn't turn things round quickly, it'll be interesting to see how the fans' resolve holds out.

I remembered another two
I was watching ParaNorman. At one point the father tells Norman to go "play with your orbs". In the context of the film, he's trying to get rid of him so picks a random supernatural thing that a 'weird kid' might do. Obviously the joke is that the orbs are meant to be his balls but the kids watching don't know that. One kid was curious though and shouted, "Daddy, what are his orbs?" at the top of his voice.
During one of the later Harry Potter films, about 3 seconds before Dobbie gets killed, the kid behinds us shouts (again at the top of his voice), "Oh this is where Dobbie dies!". Good thing I had read the book.

1) During Scary Movie, every time the killer would jump out at someone, regardless of how silly it was played, a woman behind us would scream. She wasn't even trolling the place either.
2) Can't remember the film. There were a group of teens up the back of the theatre making a lot of noise. One of them decides to go to the bathroom or whatever and comes running down the steps as fast as he could. Only he trips and faceplants into the floor, knocking himself out completely. All his mates laughed so everyone else just assumed he was messing about. He lay there for a good 10 minutes before eventually getting back to his feet and staggering out the door.

It doesn't look awful. Just generic.
Shiny, shiny everywhere.
I'll go see it as I go see most films that appear in the cinema. I don't have particularly high hopes beyond it being a decent action film though.

Something I find odd about Scots is that despite Scotland being small and beautiful, very few of them have actually seen most of it. I travel about Scotland in my motorbike and often, folk haven't even heard of the places I go. One of the reasons for this, I guess, is that it's relatively cheap and easy to get on a plane and get to Europe for holidays where the weather is much more pleasant.
So I got thinking about people who live in the USA. They have a huge country that is geographically diverse (is that even a term?) and are far enough away from Europe that going there doesn't share the same convenience that it does for Scots. If you want a change in scenery, you'll find almost anything you want somewhere in the USA.
So simple question:
How many of the 50 states have you visited?
(other nationalities can obviously answer but this is aimed at Americans)

My GF and I were wondering why it had disappeared off TV. I take it they were taking it to the US. I'm not really a game show person but The Chase can be quite tense at times.

I loved it. The aesthetic alone would make it worth a watch, even if the rest of it was rubbish.

The family share thing was clearly an afterthought. They had 2 press conferences to detail it and promote it and didn't. Given the amount of statements, retractions and interviews that failed to get the story straight it just seems they hadn't thought it through at all.
They shouldn't have expected folk to make the leap with them if they couldn't give them something to land on on the other side.
