Does anyone know of a web site or application that will let you track down movies that you want to watch?

Me and my fiancée recently had a kid and our movie watching time went practically to zero. I would like to be able to track down movies that we want to watch and when we get some time, go to that list and select a movie that we wanted to watch.

Thanks,

Semi-long question but try to hear me out here please.

Before anyone flames me for this, I JUST HEARD THIS THE OTHER NIGHT. NOW I'M JUST CURIOUS. SERIOUS ANSWERS PLEASE.

So the other night, I found out from my parents that when I was born, I had a huge burn mark on my all over my bottom and the doctor basically lied to my parents and said it was a skin disease and I'm going to be mentally retarded (for some reason) and told them it was no big deal.

Afterwards, my family had a PI investigate the whole thing, and they found out I was actually a normal healthy baby who had been carelessly left next to a hot sponge that burnt a ton of my bottom skin by a careless nurse in the hospital shortly right after I was conceived from my mother. Short story, my parents sued the hospital for the whole thing, and we won the case.

Now, apparently, the funds won have been deposited into a bank account that I will be able to obtain when I turn 18 (I'm pretty much just about to turn 18). My parents had said they are honestly not sure how much I won from the case, nor do they know if 18 years of interest will be added to the amount of money won. They have the papers on this whole thing but like I said, I only found out about this earlier, and I don't want to really dig into this with them right now and i'm just a little curious.

So basically, no one in our family really knows how much I inherit when i'm 18, so my stupid question(s) to everyone is:

What kind of court case would this whole thing go under, how much would said court case usually reap for the person who wins the case, how much could I have possibly won from this case, and would there be 18+ years of interest added to my inherited funds?

Can someone clarify these things for me please? LawGAF would be a plus. :lol

(Note: Remember, this is all collected info from what i've heard. Please don't harm me from this cause I feel like I can get barraged with like a million questions for this for some reason and I don't really know everything behind the whole situation. :lol )

It could have been low 6 figures easily without the doctor flat out lying (Why would he do that since it wasn't his fault? Affair with the nurse that's why).

The hospital most likely paid the money immediately unless it was a structured settlement which seems unlikely given the details. Your parents/financial advisor/attorney should have handled where the funds were placed in trust for you, so it depends. There's been some decent interest rates and some horrible ones over the last 18 years and your parents could have placed in stocks/bonds which is more volatile but probably more profitable.

In short, a six figure (possibly 7, but doubtful since the scar wasn't permanent, but the punitive on that doctor lying could be anything since he was such a skuzzbucket) collecting interest over 18 years is still a boatload of money.

Can someone give me some tips on hard boiled eggs?

I hate hate getting and picking the shells off and sometimes I get a weird black lining

Tips for boiling eggs?

Also, if I chop up a bunch of eggs (like at the grocery store salad bar) how long would those keep in the fridge? Could I boil like 10 on Sunday and uses them on salads throughout the week at work?

Help me guitar-GAF!

I've been playing an old family guitar for a while, trying to learn and whatnot. Anyways, I got curious about the model and how good/bad the guitar is (since I know nothing about guitar brands). It's a Selmer Signet. I can't find a model or serial number anywhere, but it looks a lot like this:


SignetCustom-1.jpg


Only the fret markers (?) are different (rectangles instead of dots) and there's no sticker on the inside.

I can find almost nothing on it, but what i DID find seems to suggest it's pretty valuable. So tell me GAF; do I have a valuable guitar on my hands?
 
I'm trying to track down a youtube video I don't have the link to anymore... I read about Ronaldinho's performance in a Barcelona vs. Real Madrid game that ended in 3-0, el classico or whatever, and one of the first results were a cool summary with kill bill theme music.

I wanted to watch it again but every damn combination of search results in the hundreds of other videos about that match except the one I watched first, what the hell... -_-;
 
insane question ... i kinda doubt that i will get an answer...

Anyone knows how much money Michelangelo got from Pope Julius II to do the Sistine Chapel Ceiling ?

If the money's in your name, going to the bank and asking about the balance amount shouldn't be a problem, right? Ask your parents what bank it's at if you don't know. Asking only takes 3 seconds tops and the answer should take no longer than 1 second. I think that's hardly "digging into" the subject with your parents if you ask me.

I also seriously think you would benefit in making a thread asking for suggestions about what to spend some of the money on if you want to see some creative responses once that day comes when you inherit the $, that's if you happen to find Stocks/Bonds/Mutual Funds to be a bit boring.
 
Thanks to fellow GAF members for telling me what's up on the whole situation.
I really appreciate the clarification. :)

I'm hoping it's enough to get started on life, pay for school, invest on a future business, and do one of the things i've always wanted to do:

Start a Charity when i'm older in age and help people in 3rd world countries.

Definitely. I'll be sure to get on this and start the topic once I inherit the money.

I was hesitant on making a topic about this because I was fearing getting flamed because for some reason, I was flammed out of my ass on Yahoo answers asking about this thing.

Thanks again you guys.

Google search "banned from Neogaf".

THE MODS ARE ALL FROM -- insert corporation of your choice --
Evilore is a RASCAL
The GAF mods ban you like it's a bodily function
I think the mods are all one brain-damaged, malicious person with multiple personality disorder

I'm not saying that the incessant bitching on other forums is a good source of evidence, but it is suggestive and entertaining.
 
Gaf, I'm looking for typical breakdown letter, with cheesy exemple as " it's the best for us " or " I really wish you can find someone that deserves you " for a writting project.

It's not you, it's me?

Or "I love you but I'm not in love with you"?
 
Do people that are sponsored in Official PR announcements actually write themselves what to say or is it some Pr/agent drone that does it in their name?

It usually sounds exactly the same and sometimes uncharacteristically so for certain people.

"I'm extremely excited to work with yada, yada, yada" etc.

They are briefed by the PR before talking to the press. We usually dress them as well and we have someone for the hair/make up ready in case. It's not rare, as a PR, to train some people for several hours/days/weeks before a public presentation or apparence on tv. My biggest problem in my job is to deal with engineers: they are the technical professional that can talk best about some technical shit so it sound real and science, but they don't know how to dress or to behave in front of a crowd of journalist.
 
I bought a new 250gig PS3 slim. After owning it for 2 days I'm having this weird problem where the controller either won't work with the game even though the red light on the DS3 is still solid, or it will suddenly become disconnected or not even try to connect when I hit the PS button and it was fully charged the whole time. I couldn't even play anything last night because of this. It sucks because I don't know if it's the controller or the system.

Anyone else have this problem? I'll probably have to return it even though I just redownloaded and reinstalled everything.
 
I want to change my look, how do I look like a cool rock, heavy metal dude. Not too much Hot Topic but just enough to frighten moms?

Do not expect 6 figures... This is a malpractice settlement from the early 1990's and recent malpractice settlements for newborn death usually range from$ 400,000 - 6 million. So expect $10,000 bucks for a burned ass and anything beyond that will be awesome.
 
What are the name of the figurines that are kinda fat/round/cartoony and are of famous movie/tv characters like Indy and Star Wars?

Basically a game where the OP is a news post from Germany Australia or Florida (Because that's where all the really messed up news comes from) and you guess which one it is based on the thread title and click through to see if you were right :p

I believe you can use Netflix like this even without a paid account. When you create an account I believe you get two weeks free but when you cancel the service your account and preferences are saved (I had a lapsed account of over a year and when I rejoined my queue was still intact) and you can still rate movies to get new suggestions and whatnot. Or alternatively try something like allmovie.com. It's not quite as automated but helpful if you have an idea of what you are in the mood for.

NeoGAF was formerly known as the Gaming Age Forums. A lot of people think it's cute to add "-age" to non-gaming topics as well, such as girl-age.
 
Anal sex feels good because the pressure massages the prostate gland.
Sometimes pooping feels really good. I don't know why.

Are the two feelings the same?

If I nab a typical d-link wireless router, will a MacBook or other Apple computer have any trouble connecting to it?

Hey Gaf, photoshop related question... I'm in the midst of sorting out an image for a tshirt I need printed up. I've been asked by the printer: "I'll need the file to be properly separated & trapped."

What does he mean exactly? I currently have the image/file split into separate coloured layers. I have no idea what he means by trapped though. Help?
 
is there a ": This thread is for stupid questions that don't deserve their own individual threads" for the gaming side?

i'll ask here too, i got a scratched up 360 disc in a trade and wanted to buy a disc cleaner, whats the cheapest/best one?
 
Turn on my PC but no picture appears. When I switch the cable on the back of my PC from the graphics card to the on board graphic accelerator (whatever it's called) it's fine. So I take it my graphics card is fucked and I need to buy a new one?
