@the movie buffs, what was the very first movie which you saw (and which you can recall, of course)
@ O Krypik One,
Very similar to da brixsta on this one, it was quite possibly watching the first Star Wars (Episode 4: A New Hope) at the movies in East London when I was about 6 or 7 years old. The old lady thought I'd enjoy it and wow, it had a huge impact on the me.. I wonder how I managed to chew the popcorn with my mouth open most of the time. Yeah, it really got my imagination and creative tendencies going.
I remember a good while later seeing a big Imperial TIE fighter toy, complete with pilot, in Reggies Toy World (was called Redgwoods back then). However, there's no way my little monthly pocket money could suddenly multiply to cover the whopping R33 asking price...yhu, that was a helluva lotta money for a toy back then! Sigh...The Force was strong in da wanqsta from an early age...

@Kryptik bro, I remember watching plenty of chinese martial arts flicks with my uncle when I was younger. But the very first movie I caught with my parents must have been Free Willy. I hardly watch any movies with them, they're not really into them. So that was a memorable experience, good movie or not.

Free Willy...whenever I think of that movie title, I think of a certain banner with the same words... It was during a SA cricket match a good few years ago, when a streaker on the field had been dramatically arrested. It didn't take long for a few of the partisan crowd to conjure such an appropriate, pun-laden banner and display it on the field's perimeter..

The earliest I remember was Home Alone :lo:
I watched Bunny Chow yesterday, was ok, but needed more story. But I enjoyed it.

@dr_thug, the departed is based on a Hong Kong trilogy, which I've watched. It was a very refreshing idea, and it was especially remarkable, coming from Hong Kong. I have not watched The Departed, but from what I've read, it is a little different from what the original scriptwriter and director had in mind. I suggest that anyone who's interested and willing to bear with reading the english subtitles, watch the original, called Infernal Affairs.
OMG!! oh yes...its the remake of 'Infernal Affairs'! I have seen the english dubbed/subtitled version of that hong kong movie.I really liked it when they showed it on tv couple of years ago.the departed was very refreshing.
@kryptic,my first movie must have been a jacki chan/bruce lee movie...don't remember which one 
@amawanqa,Sehwag will hit his next century in 2008 one century is enough to keep the selectors and sponcers happy this year

I recall being taken to watch King Kong back in 1977, at the drive-in. My folks had bought some curry which was so powerful that my dad had to drive to a nearby store to buy bananas to quell the burning. I remembered that incident better than the movie, lol. Oh, and i was angry because they used fighter planes against Kong 
@Wanqa, i remember that Free Willy incident so clearly! The newspapers gave him extensive coverage

What happened to Video calling. I thought this was going to be the biggest thing.
I mean before it came everybody use to dream of having a phone that allowed to you see the other person.
It because it wasn't marketed properlly or it just not a what everybody would like to have? |

Haha... Free Willy... Haha... Thanks for the heads-up guys. Anyway, I'm just as curious about video-calling. I think perhaps it's cos we all need some privacy. A lot of things could go wrong when you're using video-call.

It's bloody expensive...that's what happened to video calling. I cut down on it in January and my bill came down from about R1500 to it's usual R700. I know they'll never bring it on par with voice calls but what's the point of having this feature when it's so damn expensive.
Someone with more time on their hands could check how much a video call actually costs on the two networks.

Can't see the pics till i am logged in.
Deluded, congrats;-)
I don't think I will ever get there, due to only posting on this thread;-)
Anyhow, @ dr_thug, I on the other hand would not sit through Big Daddy if you paid me to...I watched it once, and that was enough. But usually, I have a hard time watching any movie more than once.
Anyway, talking about tastes, last night I was talking to this black guy at my church about 50 First Dates, and he says it was a depressing movie for him. Me on the other hand couldn't stop laughing all the way through. Clear example of "Different Strokes For Different Folks";-)
Which makes me think of back in the day at Sterland, going to the movies. It was so unusual for me, the crowd. I am used to silent movie crowds. Nowadays when you go to the movies, be prepared to hear the crowd cheer and jeer at the screen. It is a black culture thing I won't ever get used to, but it always makes me smile:-)
The funniest for me to this day was watching a rather decent movie and have the crowd give an applause at the end, almost a standing ovation;-) Enough to make any movie star feel like an Oscar winner;-)
Well, I will climb back into my shell. Sort of Shell Shocked after yesterdays day off and work again today. Hate it! And to top it all off I sat till 2 am making music after wasting 2-3 hours playing a game called Knight Tales on my phone...Okay, not wasting, must say, was really a fun action RPG, but boy, it wastes time!

from when Ama got the N73 i cudnt realy undastand what was all the hype around the NOKIA N73 til today,one of my frends got it in SILVER/BLACK PEARL RED, WOW!! wat a beauty,i realy envy him,i sent him sum mp4 240x320 30fps music videos (Omarion- Touch.mp4 and 50CENT-Hustler's Ambition.mp4) and they lukd gud on dat huge screen,but W900 stil gave better sharper quality than both my frends N73 and I-POD VIDEO 60GB, i took sum pics with both phones, the W900 can realy give the N73 abit of a run for its money  LOL, but wat put me off was how slow the N73 is when it comes to accessing MUSIC, MESSAGES, and WEB BROWSER, but stil wat a cul phone,just not enough to make me leave my W900 for it

hey frans i think the e250 too high priced phone for those contracts but they'll probably offer some dum nokia or a under speccd SE....THE BEST PHONE IN THAT PRICE RANGE WOULD BE A MOTO V360.i used one for bout a year and it's still an excellent phone ,very very clear cam for 640x480 ,nice clear display,multi tasking lite ,that is listen to music and use mxit or minimise mxit or opera to check messages or make calls etc.plus loud speaker that's quite clear for mp3's and it uses micro sd cards.all in all i rate it very highly for the price!it's brilliant. unlike sheet v3
hey deluded u lucky esato counts your posts lol i dont think my count will be over 12 even after 2010

@W810iV: If Vodacom indicates that the phone is "Vlive" branded then that's what you'll get. I've heard of some cases where the  Service Centres have debranded these phones without the warranty being voided. Ask around but I don't know of Vodacom stocking unbranded stocks of phones which are advertised as branded.
@All: Anyone with lots of spare change getting the PS3 this weekend...Only a sudden rush of blood to the head will see me part with R6200.

...and it's not worthwhile sourcing one from here when they officially go on sale from tomorrow too; it's virtually the same price with the current exchange rate!
