Yes, and I'm sure you can count on our collective mournful apologies. I for one am very sorry. Get well soon! Uncle Tupelo - The Long Cut Was out while Limitation Lad posted. Well, drats!

It's an enigma, but if you search various imdb Jeunet & Carot film boards, you're bound to dig up some interesting info. He stopped directing movies with Jeunet during Alien 4 (though I think he did some design work for that unfortunate disaster). He apparently didn't fancy big studio restrictions placed upon his art. http://www.twitchfilm.net/archives/005082.html

NoMeansNo - The World Wasn't Built In A Day

Sweden: Goalkeepers: Andreas Isaksson (Rennes) John Alvb

As much as I deplore Jeunet's solo movies. As much as I hate his puerile optimism and annoying camera tricks. I know for certain that I would not physically harm the man if given the chance. I'd punch Benigni straight in the kisser. No second thoughts whatsoever.

God damn it, Jags. I do my best at trolling a perfectly valid thread. I conspicuously fixate my entire argument on a petty adverb. I tenaciously clench to high-school debate terms. I pestiferously condemn compelling arguments. And what do I get for all this magnificent work, for all the hardships I have had to endure? Veiled insults aimed at my English. At my mother****ing English. This is extremely disappointing. I mean you could have at least flamed me a little, showed me you cared, demonstrated a little vociferous spirit. But no, you had to go all hippy on me. "Oh no, we must all be friends for the world cup is all about goodness and integrity." Bolloks, I say. The world cup is about crushing your rivals. Sportsmanship is a pointless luxury. Damn it. Barton would have made an excellent midfielder! Do you want me to post my reply now? It's all nice and fluffy. Italy are going to choke. I can feel it. And just for the record. My problems with Walcott being picked have to do with his age and the tremendous burden the world cup puts on a young played. A failure there could likely ruin his entire ****ing career. It's not fair. Crouch is the only other 100% striker Erickson has.

That was all very clever, and granted it does deserve a more detailed reply, but it's 6AM, so if you truly want one I won't be available for another 18 hours. As it is, I'm still waiting for you to prove that Walcott is the indisputably fastest player around. Can you or can you not do that, Jags? You see, one always has to corroborate his claims with facts. At least that's how things are in my little part of the world. Burden of proof, Jags.

Wanna bet he'll insult my English again?

We're going to keep this going, aren't we? Look, my point was that you shouldn't use the adverb indisputably so freely. It's hardly fact. That's all I'm saying.

It's wish-wash garbage, pretty camera-work doesn't replace human interaction. It's too centered on the main character. And that character just happens to make me sick. I honestly felt like slapping her.

If by win you mean slow excruciating torture. He hasn't done anything worthwhile since Caro left. Amelie made me puke my last three meals. Just one of the many Frenchmen I despise. Quite a long a list too!

I am an open-book. Does Beast wear clothes?

La cit

You know, while I deplore super-hero movies and I've hated just about every comic-book adaptation, last 2 X-Men movies included, I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing this one in the first weekend. It's to do with me being a massive nerd hard for any "cool" mutant power show off flick. I'm a very sad monkey : ((

Yes, Drabs, Richard Cheese is genius, the way he makes all that tripe listenable is utterly mindblowing.

I've seen them both play, but I'd say Martins' acceleration is slightly quicker. at

I've seen Martins play. He's incredibly fast. I was browsing wikipedia at the time and that's why I posted the link. A photo would have sufficed, it was meant to show that the adverb "indisputably" is horribly gratuitous. I believe the accusations brought against Martins have proved to be false, but thank you for attacking his character. And you did not claim that Walcott is the fastest player at the world cup (Henry and Carlos are there too, so it's gonna be a tough one to prove) you claimed that he is the indisputably fastest around. I'm waiting for proof on the 10.9s run.

Can you back up that statement? I can only find 11.52s as a record 100 metres. Look, you guys are over-glorifying him way too early, he's young and he's fast, but making statements like him being the indisputably fastest footballer around are gratuitous. Hype

Jim should DM!

I've got a bottle of whiskey, a bunch of Richard Cheese mp3s and have to finish writing a particularly short one act play. Cheers.

Gogol Bordello - 60 Revolutions

Just watched the final, eh? Well, mother****ing mother of God, ****, ****, ****, what a ****ing awesome game, mother****ing awesome saves by Reina, **** me what a ****ing final!

But that's how the world works, it twists and strangles you, apparently benevolent, apparently kind and honest and decent, it's all a master's ruse, a charade. It's final goal is to make brave men surrender to heterosexual lust! All for the species' continuous survival! Bah!

We're all bitter rivals. It's a consequence of the heterosexually despotic human society.
