Have you seen "Ray"? If not, you MUST do so! It is one of the top ten movies that we have ever seen (of course Godfather 1 being number one 'cause my wife was one of the bridesmaids in it). This movie will have you believing that you are actually seeing Ray Charles perform, and the performance is absolutely outstanding due to the tremedious efforts and talents of Jamie Foxx. It is available on DVD (no - we do not have shares in its production), but it is a rare insight into human weakness that can be turned into a very powerful strength despite all odds.
ps. It is especially good to view this on a good high powered surround sound system on a good plasma wide screen set. Anyone wanna visit us and see it here? Would love to see it again!
Interesting example of context-driven advertising at the top of this page... or is it just a coincidence that the banner for the Ray DVD is advertised there?
Nope, it's context-based. Enter the thread about the limestone quarry and see the ads for quarry supplies, or one of the church threads and see the religious ads.
p.s. I did see "Ray" and thought it was surprisingly great! Almost as good as "The Grudge" was bad.
Pretty clever - - - unfortunately and ultimately it does not really work since I never noticed any of that stuff before til you pointed it out. I wonder if anyone else does.
FWIW, I noticed that many months ago...I forgot the topic, but it was a strange one and the links on top were very interesting....I found that once I noticed, I find I look at the ads more often (although I still haven't clicked on one).
