I liked The Changeling quite a bit. Wanted and Salt were not the worst things I've ever seen.

Actually the reason we do not have an actual cure for cancer is because their is little no real research into it. Big Pharma will not allow it. They prefer extensive costly treatments.

yep. this is very true.

it is certainly quite true that billions and billions of dollars are not being spent on cancer research in this country.

and then further billions around the world.

yes people, do not think about this, because it isn't happening.

DCal is right. it's a conspiracy. evil Big Pharma does not allow us to research cancer, because they have somehow managed to control what independent people research with their big, ummm....scariness.

If preventing breast cancer means removing of the tits for women, does that mean removing of the cock for men to prevent penis cancer?

I think he was just trolling. It's starting to get on my nerves.

I'd love to find out that six was just trolling. Her grasp of statistical analysis makes me want to cry.

Confirming that I'm the CEO of Pfizer, and that we're purposely holding back the cure to cancer. Even though I have friends, family, and peers who may die of cancer. Colombian hookers aren't cheap, you know!

And as some one who works for a Pharma that specializes in Oncology with drugs in Phase 2 for colon, breast and lung cancer, you're a fucking idiot and retard.

Why hasn't this rbm not been rebanned?

There is no doubt that far more money is being invested in medicines that manage diseases than cure them by pharmaceutical companies. Its just how business works.

Mr & Mrs. Smith - fun movie
Beowulf - They did motion capture and it looks just like her.
Alexander - I like it.
Girl, Interrupted - Best "movie" movie
The Bone Collector - I thought it was entertaining a decade ago.

There is no doubt that you have no idea what you are talking about.

If you've got an idea for a medicine that cures a disease, let us hear it.

I was wondering why Angelina didn't get her ovaries removed, but she is actually getting them removed:

People: Angelina's Brave Decision – and Her Next Surgery

The mother of six is also planning to undergo surgery to remove her ovaries. Because of her "faulty" BRCA1 gene, she still faces a high risk of developing ovarian cancer, which her doctors estimate at 50 percent. Some doctors recommend patients undergo the surgery by age 40 or when a woman is done having children, though it may trigger early menopause.

this lady at work lost two sisters and her mother to breast cancer. apparently it runs in her family. she's probably going to die from it too. it's crazy how fast people die from the disease. this guy from the same company died from stomach cancer within something like a month and a half. He basically got to see his kid born, got cancer and passed away. real sad.

edit: what's scar is her sisters were mid thirties and the guy was 27 or 28. relatively young.

So in other words, he DID pull that number out of his ass. Those odds are CUMULATIVE for all women with the gene, and in no way reflect the likelihood of any ONE woman to develop the disease.

That is a blatant and irresponsible use of statistics. Any doctor that uses those statistics ought to be sued for malpractice.

My God, what the hell is wrong with you?
