Alright, I'll bite... how precisely does one pronounce "Colquhoun"? COLE-KUH-HOON? CALL-KAH-HOON?

Great question!
I always "heard" cole-koon' in my head. But there are lots of other noises and voices and stuff in there too.

I've never tried to speak it out loud, but in my head I've (probably) butchered it as "coal-hoon"

My guess is "Cal-hoon"
Another fine Scottish name.

I have another question, although it might sound silly. How do you pronounce Axiom? Is it "axe-um" or "axi-um?" Or "Axi-ahm"

'Ak-see-uhm
(Make sure to put the em-PHA-sis on the right syl-LAB-le. )
Depending on what part of the county/world you're from, the last syllable might sound more like "om" than "uhm"

Bren - everytime I see that Avatar, I dive under the desk. Now that you have your Axioms, you aren't thinking about filling a closet with MREs and barricading the house are you?

Chess can presumably tell us, but as Peter suggested, Coal-hoon is possible, but even more typically Scottish would be dropping the L to Co-hoon. Chess, the next piece of crucial information we need is Ian's height. Judging from his picture standing by an M80, I had judged about 6'5".

Now this is really ironic.
Wait until you read the second paragraph of the factory tour review. The text is almost done and Amie has just approved the pictures.
Soon, very soon.
Whoops, forgot to post this link with the answer you all seek.

Does this one make anyone feel better? The haircut I sported upon the DFB (Deutscher Fussball-Bund; German national team) making it into the round of 16 at the 2000 World Cup? Christian Ziege wore a mohawk, so I did too.

Or maybe this one?
And yes, Alan... that's a Hitachi Z-One on my shoulder, bro used 4 of them in his multi-camera live gigs until about 2000 or so. Definately commands respect - "I'm with the crew, pardon me or I'll squash you with this"

Correct (Scottish) way to say it is Cu'hoon. But we say Calhoun for dinner reservations ;-)

Taxi Driver is honestly one of those movies everyone should see, but I haven't yet.
I feel, ashamed.

It's also one of those movies that everyone should see, and then when you finally do, it's not as big of a deal as you were expecting. Don't get me wrong, it's good - but just don't hype it too much, or you'll be let down.
For me, Scorsese has yet to match 'Raging Bull'. Speaking of Raging Bull, when the hell are we going to get a nice remastered, special edition, 2 disc dvd set of that classic picture?

Sorry. I pulled the number out of my a$$. What's really strange though, is that Jake LaMotta (the boxer in Raging Bull) was born on July 10th.
I didn't even know what the movie was about until just now.

I'll second the "Taxi Driver" comment - much overrated. Same goes for "Apocalypse Now".

I agree. Aside from Robert Duvall's luminescent role, Apocalypse Now is mostly tedious. That goes double for Redux, which was actually so dull in places that I wanted to scream. Taxi Driver has a great performance by DeNiro, but I didn't like the movie.
I also don't like Raging Bull. Again, great acting performance, but every character in the movie is loathsome and without any redeeming qualities. I did not enjoy watching this movie in the least.

I needed to watch 'Raging Bull' three times before I "got" it. The third time I cried. (OK, not streaming tears, but my eyes did well up.)
Jake LaMotta is not a likable character. In fact he's despicable. The story is about how this awful man had everything he could possibly want out of life and because he was such a prick he lost it all. The worst part is in the end he realizes it all. It's really an amazing movie.

Another vastly overrated movie: The Breakfast Club. Go ahead. Watch it again. It's really, really dull. And awful. For that matter, so's Spaceballs. Not quite in the same league as the other movies mentioned, but what the heck...

Second "Dr. Strangelove". How about "Being There"?

Adding to the list of "must see" movies (of all genres):
-Mel Brooks' History of the World Part 1 (DVD is mono only, sorry guys!)
-the Crow (best soundtrack ever - Cure, NIN, Rage, Violent Femmes, Rollins, ThrillKill, J&M Chain and Jane Siberry)
-the Wanderers
-Rocky Horror Picture Show (whatever happened to Fay Wray?)
-Pink Floyd's the Wall (seen it over 100 times, can quote it word for word and still gives me goosebumps)

I hate to admit but I saw the movie maybe 3 times before I realized WHAT the judge was (gimme a break, I was 12!)

You mean this wasn't clear to you? OK, so I was in high school when I saw it the first time. My mind had already been through the gutter and back.

I have to ask my fiancee whether or not it's harder to go into court after having seen the Wall and the uh... nether regions judge or not.
