Best Allegory for the Condition of the Urban Male in the Modern World: Quantum of Solace

Everything wrong with the Oscars can be summed up by this fact: Nobody has ever won Best Actor for James Bond. We ex-pect them to ignore the best of high art — to pick Rocky over Taxi Driver. The problem is, they won't go low, either. James Bond is the John Wayne for men who live in big cities — the model of the sophistication, confidence, and aplomb needed to survive in complex societies. Daniel Craig's is the darkest Bond yet but also one of the most honest: a man facing a brutal world in which the enemy is secretive and unknown, and he's betrayed by all the institutions he cares about. Isn't art supposed to reflect the world unflinchingly, to "hold the mirror up to nature," no matter how uncomfortable the reflection may be? Quantum of Solace does it.

Nice find Elaine. Maybe he'll get an honorary when he's 75 (didn't Sean)?

Seems no way you can vote more often than once. Even after shutting down the pc and after some hours, it doesn´t work. Maybe the other e-mail will do the trick

It works with different addresses (but they must really exist as you have to activate the account once...)

Works fine with two different e-mail addresses from the same computer and and same IP.

I registered once and voted and then hubbie registered from the same pc, isp and ip but with a different e-mail address, and he voted too.

I "guided" his hand to mark his vote in the right spot

HA! I just managed to vote again...I have no idea what happened as I actually thought I had a static IP adress - but well, never mind

maybe the same miracle will happen to me again and allow me to contribute more votes
