You ask a lot of obvious questions

You got that right!
Some chick flicks are good, I enjoyed Clueless and Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.

Alan, what's up with your signature? What does it mean?

Alan's Signature:
f'(x) = dy/dx sin x = cos x
f'(x) = dy/dx cos x = -sin x
tan(A+B)=(tanA+tanB)/(1-tanAtanB)
(cotx-tanx)/(sinxcosx)=csc^2x-sec^2x
1+tan^2x=sec^2x

tan(A+B)=(tanA+tanB)/(1-tanAtanB)
(cotx-tanx)/(sinxcosx)=csc^2x-sec^2x
1+tan^2x=sec^2x

the first two are formulas for calculus, given to me by Zoltack.
The other three are trigonometric formulas I'm learning/learned right now in honors precalculus.

tan(A+B)=(tanA+tanB)/(1-tanAtanB) is the formula for finding tangent value in terms of tanA and tanB. For example

tan(45+30)=(tan45+tan30)/(1-tan45tan30)=tan(70)
You can find the tan values for 30 and 45 easily because of 30,60,90 and 45,45,90 triangles. Just plug in those values in the expression above and simplify, and you will eventually get tan(70)

The other two are expressions that are useful in simplifying, proving, solving, trigonometric equations and stuff.

Dammit, I forgot to add the fundamental theorem of trigonometry. You know, the formula that goes like sin^2x+cos^2x=1. Extremely useful in solving trigonometric equations!

I hate to be the bearer of this sign, but we're...:


I guess it started with my mention of chick flicks.

I was kidding when I said that ALAN but just so you know there are a lot of people who are professional gambler's in the state of Nevada. They don't work, just gamble and survive. Some of these people win and lose thousands a day. It is amazing to watch them gamble. These people play the table's. Some of them count cards or cheat other ways. If they get caught they can go to jail and also get Blackballed from the casino's throughout the state. I have a friend who is an eye in the sky at Ceaser's Tahoe and she has caught quite a few counters and seen lots of other good stuff too.

Please do not ask why I have Godzilla films and DVDs relating to the Titanic. They're simply stuffy I'm just interested in and that I like. And yes, I know my collection is crap compared to some of the members here.

^^I like your taste. Its very unique, and I also like Godzilla films.

Thanks for the comments on my ever growing obsession! I have this website to blame in part for this ya know. Ud has taught me so much ! Before, I was such a 'Disney dvd dummy' . Now I embarrassingly know too much when the topic comes at work or something.....
I would kill for an international set like 2099net, Joe, or some of the others. they are so much nicer!!

Not a gambler!! I dont win......

If you knew me you would laugh at how cheap I am!!
I dont buy new releases unless they are Disney, I always wait until its 10$ or less. We are fans of the Hollywood video 3 for 25$ used deals as well.
If you have lots of time and are patient and smart about it, you can get good stuff on eBay, some examples are: I got Snow White and Lion King for 7$ each from someone. One of my LOTR EE's was 10$.
With the Disney new releases, I always use those free best buy coupons that come with the Disney gift cards. you buy 4 and get 15$ off..
I recently got the 2 cinderellas pictured and 2 cartoon classics with it.
it made the CC's around 7ish,$ and the Cindies 11$ish each!! Remeber when Aladdin and some other were marked down at Best Buy last month or so?.....CHEEEAP! I had to laugh at myself for getting 6$ plus aladdins!
better than walmart and no long lines ...... also, since my daughter was born ( around 3 years ago) we dont go out to the movies anymore which definetly bummed us out , being big movie fans that we are, so I dont mind spending a little on these things.

You're probably the first person to say something like that, since I'm usually given the cold shoulder for having ''crappy Japanese B movies'' and ''stupid overrated cliche chick flicks'' on my list of DVDs. I'm still trying to to purcase the second season of the Canadian TV show series ''Degrassi: The Next Generation'' and collect SE or UE (Ulimate Editions, a term I use for DVDs that have more than two disks) of films such as LOTR and such, but it's impossible. I have also given up on Walt Disney's treasures too, since it's just ''impossible'' for me to get ALL of them.

And the fact they fact they keep coming out with more and more films with lavished editions is nerve-racking and killjoy if you really believe ''I have the best edition of this film!!!!''.

You have a nice collection so far Aqua... but why do you have the gift set for TLK and not Aladdin?

^^Maybe she likes LK more than Aladdin.

Because my greedy parents made this excuse that it was ''too'' expensive (yeah, like $32 at Deep Discount DVD back in late '04 was too much) and that I had a choice of either buying just the film or nothing at all. Same thing happend with Cinderella. Could've gotten the gift set, but greedy parents said ''No'' again. When TLM comes out, I'M BUYING the gift set, regardless what the say!



Alan: I'm a he, but I can see why you mistakend me for a girl. And no, I don't like TLK better than Aladdin. I love those films the same way I love BATB and TLM.

Yeah, I thought you were a she because the name "Aqua" reminded me of the band aqua, which brings up bad memories That band was such a girly band too, even though there were men singers in it.

You state this like it was a fact, but at the end of the day it's just another opinion, just like any other.

Whatever Disney Fan, I bet if you found a list of the greatest Chick Flicks it would be on there, probably top 10

I guess, GOGOinVegas won't sell me Mickey Mouse in Living Color Volume 1 with tin.

Escapay wrote:That would definitely negate the chick flickyness. I just wish people would come up with a better phrase than "chick flick". What do they call the guy movies, though? Dick flick?

I did a search on google: What is a "chick flick"

The term chick flick is slang, sometimes slightly derisive, for a movie which is designed or considered to appeal mainly to women, and generally displaying more of a focus on romance or relationships. Many romantic comedies or films with a lots of female characters are likely to be put in this category. The converse term (that is, a film for men) is blokebuster.

And for a list of SOME Chick Flicks out there:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_flick

Hope that ends the "chick flick" discussion...

I notice Titanic and Legally Blonde 2 were both on the list

Can any of you send me copies of Walt Disney's Treasures collection. I only have 1 out of probably +10 volumes and will do anything to get ALL of them. I'll start bidding for $3.



As for whether Titanic is not a chick flick, well, Cameron has stated it was the ''ulitmate'' chick flick, so that would say something.
