The Crazies

Rating: ★★★★ Category: Movies Genre: Horror I went to see a movie for the first time in a few years. The experience hasn't improved much; still paying wayyyy too much money for a ticket and way way way way too much for popcorn. For comparison, at the local race track I can get a bag of popcorn for a buck (at my daughter's softball games, 50cents) but for the same size bag, I paid 4 dollars. Seriously??? and then theaters don't make money? why the hell not? If a movie theater isn't making money it's employees must be blowing it all up their collective noses. Oops, I digress... The Crazies is a remake of the original by my movie hero, George Romero, who brings us zombies mixed in with social and political commentary to make a good 'screw with your head' kinds of movies *happy sigh* At any rate, this new version leaves out the political aspect of the original, and it ends up working very well.

LG Vu Crashes Forwarding Multimedia Message

This is kind of a random post but I figured there would be people that it applies to, so here goes.  I recently got an LG Vu.  (I will be doing a review on my tech site, Obsessive Compulsive Linux Disorder soon) and every time I went to forward a multimedia message, the darn thing would just crash and reboot.  After some frustrating searching, I found the solution.  For some reason the Vu doesn't like it when you have a signature turned on.  So in order to forward a multimedia message, do the following: 1.  Tap Menu key (blue square with white dots) 2.  Tap Messaging 3.  Scroll down (all the way) to Message Settings and tap. 4.  Tap Text Message 5.  Tap Insert Signature 6.  Tap Off. Now, you can forward your multimedia messages just fine.  You can have your signature turned on if you want to forward regular text messages (text with no pictures).
