Wow, if you can take an Ambien and then COOK... where the hell is this Washington ad campaign when you need it?

That Jack picture is priceless.

Oddly enough it's my most common side effect from the drug. A lot of people have the driving thing, I.........cook. For some reason it has to be some potentially dangerous activity. It's almost unfortunate the darn drug is so good at dealing with my insomnia, it's just rare events where something weird happens.

for everyone pissy over the fact that most of the viral marketing is about the joker, when it has been discovered that the film is mainly about Harvey Dent.
QuoteWe've heard that the marketing for "The Dark Knight" was going to get away from The Joker (Heath Ledger) and begin concentrating more on Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). Apparently, the new campaign has just started.

By visiting IBelieveInHarveyDent.com, you will notice that the site has been updated. The big change is the addition of a form asking you to submit your email address and phone number. Once that's done, you are sent a message that states the following:

"Citizens of Gotham! The future of our city rests in your hands! Alone, we are helpless against the thugs and killers menacing our city. Together, we have the power to take back Gotham. In just a few days, you'll find out how."

It then asks you to verify your email address, following by the comment: "Keep an eye on http://www.ibelieveinharveydent.com and get ready to join a movement that will transform our city!"

That's all that's available right now and only time will tell what all of this leads to.

Okay, back to Ambien . . . Why the hell is this stuff still available? Sure, it puts you to sleep, but I've heard a lot of stories about people doing weird crap while they're on it. The hosts of a local mid-day radio talk show here in the Dallas area have talked several times about the things they do (oh no, not things!) when they're on it. Does someone have to actually go out and have a wreck and kill someone or walk off a cliff while on it to get the FDA to wake the frak up? Apparently Ledger doesn't count since he only killed himself accidentally.

But have you ever heard people talking about the weird things they do when they're NOT on Ambien? Of course not. They want to blame the drug. They don't tell you they were totally sober that time they ran naked through the science and nature museum. Or that they once ate a rat on a dare.

I knew people would start talking about taking the drug off the market. It's time to start hoarding them, alcohol does some pretty weird things, but we dont talk about that. A little blue pill that makes hallucinate, drive while asleep, and for some.......cook late at night.,,,,,,,that's a story.  We dont hear about the weird things people do on viagra  :speechless:

We don't? Isn't that what every two-bit hackneyed comedian does these days? It's the airline peanuts of the 2000s.

Nice analogy.

QuoteAaron Eckhart sat down with Wizard magazine to chat about his character in the upcoming "The Dark Knight" movie, revealing that we will get to see him become Two-Face.

"I think that right now we're showing who Harvey was before he was scarred, and it's an interesting role that he plays," said Eckhart. "We're looking at Gotham City trying to get out of its darkness." To clear things up, he added: "Harvey Dent turns into Harvey Two-Face in this movie."

There were rumors that the scars on Two-Face's face will not only be make-up, but CGI as well. Judging by Eckhart's comments, it seems that's exactly what we will get. "I won't tell you exactly what we're going for, but I think that I can say that it will use all of today's technology to create this character."

In addition, CHUD is reporting that director Christopher Nolan is experimenting with a creative way of depicting Two-Face, which will blend the sane and the insane sides of the character together.

The idea was to shoot the same scenes twice, one of Eckhart as Harvey Dent and the other as Two-Face. Then Nolan would take all the footage and combine it into one shot in post-production, where one side would be the nice Dent and the other would be the crazy Two-Face. And since Nolan has two takes of each scene, he has the luxury of presenting the character more one way or another. This will show Harvey as a constantly conflicted person.

sounds kinda cool

My beef about Ambien is mostly about the unpredictability of the effect it has on someone. I wouldn't take Viagra for the same reason. With my luck, I'd be one of the guys who ends up with the 5-hour erection. With alcohol, you know what you're getting into. You can counteract the consequences by a certain amount of planning. You can't plan not to drive while you're asleep. It just happens. It's the same reason why I never tried LSD or 'shrooms even at my most experimental. You never know where a bad trip will take you.

'shrooms are the only drug I would do again.  Not that I have done them.  Theoretically I mean.

Tripe

The only substance that has ever given me any sort of euphoric rush at all is Tobacco. I've tried a few other things but none of them ever really did anything for me.

Chaos

I tried weed once in college. All it did was make the muscles in my arms randomly twitch for about an hour.

I think I'll stick with caffeine.
