Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 11/11/2008

It's hard to go wrong with Pixar (which I love), although I'd say to check out Chasseurs de dragons (which looks unique for yet another CGI film) and The Sky Crawlers sounds like it was the most interesting plot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sky_Crawl … (see comment)

Support Housing for Developmentally Disabled People

Comment in News (8 diggs, 0 replies) - on 11/10/2008
