December 2 edit

Movie search edit

There was a movie produced perhaps some time before World War 2 titled "Resurrection." Apparently it was based on the book of the same title by Leo Tolstoy. It is referred to by Viktor Frankl in his book "Man's Search for Meaning." I would like to find out if it is available on any modern media for purchase or viewing. I have searched the video stores and my library, but I only came up with copies of the Tolstoy book. Thanks.74.233.13.243 06:43, 2 December 2007 (UTC)Tex Ford[reply]

gianna michaels edit

i know she has featured in a few anal themed titles but has she actually performed anal sex in any of them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.165.88 (talk) 16:05, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, she has not, but may in the future. The business tends to push the women to do more and more to get a better paycheck. -- kainaw 18:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
IAFD.com is a good resource for answering such questions, her page there lists the sex acts she has performed in her films.--droptone 13:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ps2 fighting and racing games AND Wii shooter and racing games. edit

A few days ago I got Gran turismo 3 for the playstation 2 because I heard it was a good game. But when I played it I was incredibly disapointed. The game was very very very difficult for me and was hard to controll. It was "too realistic". I am looking for a ps2 racing game that is easy to controll, full of action , and to have car damage (kinda like the batman begins racing game leval).

Also I want to know if mortal kombat Armagaden is 2 player and if you can rip the other enemies head off and throw it at them.

AAAAlso a few months ago I got "call of duty 3" for the wii and I was horibly disapointed. The controlls were so sensative!!! It was incredibly hard to aim. I want to know if "Resident evil: the umbrella chronicles" has better and easier controlls than "call of duty". If not ,than which wii shooter game is very precise and easy.

AAND finally I want to know if the wii racing games are easy to controll and not "too realistic". If so which one is the easiest to controll?

Thank you for reading the whole thing!! Sorry if it's long and has grammer mistakes. I rushed. (Deathmouse 19:52, 2 December 2007 (UTC))[reply]

I'm not too sure about the ps2 games, but for the wii i would say that umbrella chronicles was a very good game and easy to control, but u might want to try out metroid prime 3, and for a racing game u could try Excite Truck and in 2008 mario kart for the wii will be coming out, so u might want to start saving up ur money! --Dlo2012 22:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dlo2012 (talkcontribs) 22:21, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you want a PS2 racing game with action, damage, and easy control, IMHO it doesn't get much better than Burnout 3. There's something incredibly satisfying about zooming along city streets at 140 MPH ramming other cars out of the way. You can pick up second hand copies pretty cheaply these days, too. --Monorail Cat 23:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I thought that Ridge Racer was fun, and pretty easy in that totally unlikely physics kind of way. I wish my car stuck to the road like that! As for the Wii controls, I've been pleasantly suprised by the controls in the latest Metroid release. Still, give me a keyboard and mouse any day... --Mdwyer 22:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for answering (burnout 3 ROCKS!!) but I still have another question.If controll is easy for resident evil and Excite truck for the wii.Than... How is controll for the "scarface" game for the wii??? (PLEASE ANSWER!!) And is "need for speed carbon" for the wii also easy to controll????

AAAAnd is flatout 2 sort of like burnout 3?

ALSO , nobody answered one of my original questions!! "IN MORTAL KOMBAT ARMAGODENN , IS IT POSSIBLLE TO RIP THE ENEMIES HEAD OFF AND THROW IT AT THEM???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for listening and answering.--Deathmouse (talk) 03:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

no u cannot, sorry.--Dlo2012 (talk) 22:08, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Duck "Hair Tonic Get Rich Scheme Comic" edit

Hello, there's an old Carl Barks Donald Duck comic (likely 50's or 60's) that involves a get-rich scheme by Donald to buy hair tonic, claim it doesn't work, and then return it for double his money. I think it involves, at one point, someone rubbing it in and he growing hair all over his body. I can't seem to get much info on it. Does anyone know the comic # and year & month? --Doctorcherokee 21:05, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, but the plot sounds almost identical to an I Love Lucy episode where she bought cans of beans with a guarantee "if these aren't the best beans ever, get double your money back". She then returned them, bought twice as many cans with the money, returned them, bought twice as many, etc. I wonder who ripped off whose idea. StuRat 21:57, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The story you're referring to was first published in Donald Duck #35 (1954) and was republished in Donald Duck #147 (1973)--SeizureDog 00:03, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
On a side note, the bean episode StuRat is referring to is "Lucy the Bean Queen" from The Lucy Show, not I Love Lucy, and aired on September 26, 1966. So Donald did the joke over 10 years earlier, though I doubt he was the first.--SeizureDog 00:11, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
