Yeah, I'm strongly ambivalent about the movie, in terms of being disappointed with the tone and wishing characterization and stuff might have been better, but I do enjoy watching some of the plot sequences... and like I said, the extended edition really helps flesh out stuff so it's not just so...

They're taking it right out of the comic book. Never fear. The Ultimate Edition is better than the Theatrical; they edited out too much connecting information for the theater release. There are still issues with it, but the unedited cut is better. I gave it 4.5/5 stars I think. I do agree...

Well, I survived A Serbian Film. I guess I can handle Divine eating things she has no business eating.

I actually appreciate Muholland Dr. ... so fuck you all. :D I think one issue is that it was originally conceived as another TV show that didn't get picked up (is that right?) so then he salvaged the footage and ended up repurposing it, then shot more to fill in the gaps? I'll have to look that...

But.... but you've made it sound like that's an impossibility!

I don't think I've seen the King. (That is, if I didn't poison him in his sleep and ditch his body out in the Royal Stables.) Well, all the other Swords would be beholden to us. But variety is good. my other favorite suit is wands. cups has its moments. Coins/Pentacles is boring.

w00t! I've apparently started a trend without meaning to. Those are the best. Now that we've done the court cards, I'm wondering who will comprise the lesser 1-10...

... be well, wherever you are!

Everyone was once a "young person." Each generation might struggle in a few areas, but people are people. I think the similarities are stronger than the differences. Young people regardless tend to be either cynical or enthusiastic. Your brain is ahead of your life experience, so you can be...

So is there such a thing as a Good Itch? I'd like to know, because I have not found one yet.

What love...

yeah, think of all the religious pamphlets he'll find tucked inside his door now. :phear:

I'm not even sure what that means. I'm not the one who made a "I'm leaving this place and not coming back post" and then shows back up to continue with the bitching at various members. It's an inconsistency on your part, a person who claims to be eminently logical. Otherwise I don't even know...

oh Tilda Swinton She's fucking awesome... and such range. It cracked me up when I realized I was watching her being the screwy boss in "Trainwreck." (Hmm, there we are with trains again. WTH?) She's so androgynous looking, which just adds to her allure... but quite talented.

No, I haven't watched it yet -- i watched about ten minutes of it, kind of lost interest, and never got back to it. Maybe I need to just give half an hour and see if that catches my interest. Ironically, I did start watching Transsiberian last night and plan to keep going with that one. Talking...

Talk about predilections... why are you back here anyway? Didn't you walk off this forum a few month ago saying this place sucked and you were going to get a life, more or less? Yet here you are. Welcome home, I suppose.

I guess it also depends on how you define "Ne" out. I've found much more receptivity in my diverse educated coworker pool regardless of type. But it's not like I'm constantly zipping towards the fringe Ne stuff that people here launch into regularly, I meant using Ne as a tool to make...

https://everythingsimpsons.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/twomrsnahasapeemapetilon2.png EDIT: Dear god, I just discovered there's an entire world of Simpsons cartoon p0rn out there... all through the miracle of Google Image search. Can't.... scrub... eyeballs... clean. heeeeelp....

This seems really stupid to me. Not that I give a shit about Michael Phelps, even if he's from / lives in my city. (At least he did. I guess he sold the apartment he had in Fells Point, about 5-6 miles from here, two years ago or something.) Basically some folks here work their asses off to...

Yeah, it's been discussed on the forum before how our better pathway to social interaction (in that it's more effective for us) is Ne versus Fe. When we sit in Ti, we talk about what is of interest to us in an intense kind of way without being aware of the reception of those around us; but it's...

Totally. I have a pretty good outline in my head where I'm going and "pre-think" the thing before writing it... although if I get more ideas while actually doing the work, I try to accommodate them to see where they go. In fact, sometimes I will waste more time trying to develop a more...

Tiggered.

*cough* A Serbian Film (2010). Well, I just crossed that one off my masochistic to-do list. Surprise: The technical quality of the film is actually good. IOW, the guy knows how to make a movie. And much of the acting from the mains was decent as well, and well-cast. Great pacing, great...

Rewatched Abre Los Ojos (which I liked every better the second time) and then also Tesis, both early pics in Spanish by Amenabar. Tesis is more a conventional thriller involving the discovery of a snuff film ring, but it manages to be kind of unpredictable (you can guess who is involved, but...

I had the worst mental image by your phrasing here that your grandma also spent her nine lives on the road and your grandfather had to go get the shovel... I know, I'm rotten... Seriously. People think they're in the Indianapolis 500. I do pretty well on roads, due to where I grew...

I grew up in the country, it was all fields and dairy farms. Unfortunately, that means the cat isn't necessarily used to traffic; and people speed up and down the roads well past the speed limit. Eventually the cat would spend all nine lives and take a bumper hit. I can't tell you how many...

Not sure about ENTJ.... but my best Te work came through list mode, and I have to overcome a heavy inertia to get there. Basically I start compiling lists of everything that needs to get done, versus just winging it from my head; and then I start crossing stuff off and/or adding to it as I...

ehhh.... I never became a "J" but you do pick up traits more associated with J's simply by the need to hold your life together .... especially if you're holding together a marriage and/or kids. There's no way around it, really, unless you want to be missing / forgetting a lot of stuff and having...

I had outdoor cats growing up. Most of them got hit by cars, eventually. I think it's kind of hard to manage an indoor/outdoor cat situation, they tend to prefer one or the other. And if you have a cat that is tackling both, you'd better have the flea/tick protection down somehow -- no way you...

... I know, I know... I feel like I'm just the messenger girl for something really big going on, that I can't quite figure out. If my cat elopes one morning (or if one of the cats turns up dead, doh), I know what happened. It's really weird; my friend has two cats, but the other one shows no...

I need a cat bag to carry my cat around in. .... but yeah, my cat loves those kind of firm but not quite hard surfaces to sleep on. I have this weird situation too where I take my book bag and my purse to my Wednesday night RPG session, and one of their cats immediately stakes out my...

Yeah, the theatrical release was kind of a dud, but the alternate ending you described in your spoiler (for the director's cut) is pretty much the major selling point that makes it worth a watch especially if you don't know it's coming. That was freaking ballsy, I wish they would have just gone...

it reveals it's more of an ideological/religious stance versus some kind of broad concern about human life in general. It's just weird, since the stance is supposedly derived from some Judeo-Christian value, yet in the Old Testament if you injured a pregnant woman so that she lost the...

We're on! I'll make flapjacks. ----- My kids are no longer at home. So Sunday is just another Saturday -- except with the growing realization that Monday is coming. :(

Wait, do you mean the bushes in the front yard of the abandoned house with the burned-out VW bus in the driveway that I'm living out of, posting live YouTube feeds from?

"...BUDDY??" [IMG]

http://www.adoptuskids.org/meet-the-children/children-in-foster-care/about-the-children 400,000 kids in foster care; 100,000 available for adoption. 20,000 age out of the system each year (turn 18/21, etc) without being adopted... although I'm not sure what the breakdown is. A quarter of the...

I was talking to someone else, so I was surprised to see a response from you; but thank you for investing time in one. :D But it doesn't seem to address what I was addressing. I guess you were addressing what you thought I was addressing from the angle of the thing you thought I was addressing...

You are Blue: 30% Mid Alpha 62% High Beta You are a good mixture of Alpha and Beta; you probably get along with everyone and are well liked. You are confident without being overbearing. As a cooperative person, you may prefer letting your partner take the lead—but you are not a pushover. You...

Yeah, I forgot you were a robot and have no personal internal response to the external world; it's all merely about concrete benefits. Do you feel anything when you interact with anything? Any internal response that you can't explain or justify? Something that merely shows a preference? Do you...

I agree -- the inner sneering doesn't really help matters or maintain an attitude of openness. At worst, "trivialities" are a necessary evil of getting into someone's head and developing enough talk to reach the juicy nougat inside. Or at best, there can be some interesting things learned there...

I actually saw a local production live once... kinda interesting.

Probably only two more sessions to go in this two-year campaign. I discovered last night that my character basically blocked off the "normal" conclusion of the campaign when she summoned the Elder Gods to our dimension, since the whole goal of raising the Dead God (and the politics involved)...

Considering you're conflating your terminology, definitely not.

...The Hedwig Strategy produces another winner. :phear:

It's okay, we're in the same boat. So if you and I ever play in the same game, you have a 50% chance to make it to Day 2.

With the Cheese standing alone: Reading the Wolf thread, after RB took a face shot and QT got pitched over the cliff, I was reminded of this Kitty Pryde ripoff of the old Wolverine X-men cover: Go Cheese!

He's a somewhat anxious cat. He only bumps me when my alarm goes off, and he sees me stirring -- so he comes over on the bed and curls up next to me because he knows it's feeding time. That lasts about 10-15 minutes if I don't get up, and that's his "warm and fuzzy time" until tomorrow. I got...
