  1. I just assument since it was missing a dramatic story that he accidentally stabbed himself.
  2. It's two words. 'You are' contracted. How hard is that. 'Scuse me. I get testy about that.
  3. I have to work while Denmark - Germany is on. It's a bloody travesty.
  4. I know what you mean.
  5. Been watching David Attenborough's life of 'x' series. I don't know if it's just that nature programmes don't have the budgets they used to, but there is nothing that really comes close both in footage and narration. He doesn't wrangle snakes or crocodiles or pretend to be surprised to have just discovered the critter he brought wth him in his car like every other American nature show.
  6. What, I collected star wars and transformers. You know stuff that was actuall cool back then.
  7. Is Duke Hauser the guy from Duke Nukem ?
  8. Indeed.
  9. Indeed, they even call golfing a sport and not a hobby.
  10. Install pedals, or make it waterproof and install oars.
  11. The European Championships is turning out to be all kinds of awesome.
  12. It's the guy from Cloverfield isn't it. Same deal. Crappy handheld to get you 'in the action' and a huge budget. 'Ohh my god, what the hell was that' followed by the camera doing a detour on the ground. It really starts to get old fast.
  13. I don't understand why it's all handheld though. That's something you do if you have a burning desire to make a movie and no money. To see one with a big budget .. it's just a crime against nature.
  14. There are services that will let you do that day to day. You can actually make more than you pay in a month in a week if you let your place out during a convention where the hotels are all full. I get 3 weeks a year same as everyone else. You can get an extended leave for education and qualification courses though, as long as everybody doesn't do it at the same time.
  15. Come winter probably, it's a really ****ty time to be in Denmark. Assuming I can get the vacation time I want and my appartment rented out.
  16. Just as an aside, do you think it would be fraught with difficulty for a European to land in Seoul and take the train to the coast and the Japan ferry. Is that a straightforward thing to do or is there like a million changes.
  17. Are they hollow points, because that would make sense if you wanted a lot of brain trauma on impact. Or are those still illegal, I forget.
  18. I don't think there were that many glaring plot holes.

    Speedread

    Sample size is much too small. The test should have had a couple of pages and averaged the result. Apparently I'm 28% better than Joe average. Of course being able to sit your ass down and finish is a much more useful ability. I suspect the fact that this is a test makes people read at breakneck speed which you would not maintain long in a real setting. PS: it's an ad for Kindle.
  20. Prometheus. That was some weird s.hit. Reminded me a bit of the recent reboot (actually prequel, but it was more or less the same movie sceene for screene) of The Thing. It didn't get the psychological drama constituent right either. Prometheus had a lot of very talented very expensive actors who just never really got to strut their thing. The directors cut might be better. You should still go see this thing though, it's not boring.
  21. And even if we got a perfect smog storm which actually started killing people, this has been known to happen from time to time in very heavily poluted areas, Who would know.
  22. Doesn't matter. I assume they are the kind of gimmick best left unexplained. I mean it's not like any of them are going ot have lines.
  23. wont the maggots who eat the zombies turn into zombie maggots, and indeed zombie flies. That would increase dispersal beyond anything we could handle, assuming the flies didn't have to actually bite you to transmit. Flies regurgitate their food, it's how they digest. A little scrape combined with a zombie fly and you would be turned in short order. Once zomnbie flies they would also lose interest in the already infected. Zombies only eat the living.
  24. Have been sleeping on The Borgias, it's at least as good as Game of Thrones but with better costumes. Glad I started watching it again.
