I just got done watching a quite extraordinary movie called "Interstate 60." It stars James Marsden, Amy Smart, Gary Oldman, and Christopher Lloyd. It's about O. W. Grant (Oldman) who would grant wishes to people and the guy (Marsden) who made a very unusual wish sending him down road that doesn't exist to towns that don't appear on any map.
This is one of those great movies that have just slipped through the cracks into obscurity. It's funny, witty and will make you think about your life in a whole new way. I suggest it for anyone looking for a nice diversion. Plus you get to see the original pink Power Ranger (Amy Jo Johnson) talk about having sex with 2400 guys!
Here's the trailer: http://bttf.com/interstate-60/interstate60_320x240.mov
Now my question is: If you had just one wish, what would it be?

At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Just one Wish...
"A little swordplay, now and then, keeps my mind off sheep!"
"You're messing with my Zen thing, man."
"Dreams are as portals,
flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

Only one? Sheesh...Aladdin got 3...
In the impossible category, it would probably be to go back to being 18 but knowing what I know now at 44 (just so I wouldn't have made all the boneheaded decisions that came inbetween)... :bang:
In the possible category, to have good health in all 3 categories - mental, physical and spiritual. Can't ask for more than that...

Mine would be similar, but I'd rather go further back - to age 7 - while retaining everything I know right now.BirdMom wrote:Only one? Sheesh...Aladdin got 3...

In the possible category, I'd wish for a chocolate ice cream cone.
