Indeed, they even call golfing a sport and not a hobby.

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.

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.

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.

BREAKING NEWS: ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE UNLEASHED IN FLORIDA
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.

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.- Movies you've seen recently
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.- China bans foreign embassies from publishing air pollution levels
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.- HBO's Game of Thrones
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.- HBO's Game of Thrones
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.- Movies you've seen recently
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.- What you did today
The only fluid i regularly consume is coffe, which as it happens is not as bad for you as previously thought. I take it with milk, no sugar, which has conditionedme to dislike anything really sweet such as soda or candy. They say it happens automatically as you get older, but I've had this dislike since forever.- BREAKING NEWS: ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE UNLEASHED IN FLORIDA
You will notice that they are commenting that it's a retarded meme.- The first gay president
I suppose that depends on whether you think things were better before or whether there is a progression through individual liberty guaranteed for some, the abolition of slavery, the civil rights movement, and now gay rigths. If things don't better or move towards a logical conclusion of sorts, well then it doesn't matter how fast they move.- The first gay president
You call that a lot. 20 years ago, and for the rest of the time the the supreme court rather than congress simply unianimously rule on civil rights activism, or indeed civil rights revisionism. In doing so they use obscure legal points that have little basis in real life to dictate the application of the law. Not at all unlike religous dogma. In any event you would think the application of law would not be so incomprehensible that it becomes a constant battleground. It should be the law itself that was subject to constant debate, not its interpretation. This is because the law is not allowed to change to reflect the society we live in, or rather you live in. Or at least not allowed to change fast enough.- The first gay president
It can happen, but you hold it in the same regard as one would a religious document. One does not simply change the constitution. The constitutionality of this or that is constantly being debated, and with the document itself being largely unchanged it's very hard for people to understand it, so you need scholars to explain it to them, interpret it as it were. The rulings of the supreme court becomes the basis of law because politicians can't get it together and change what needs chaning.- The photo thread

So hockey defense is a lot of standing around. You don't often hear of 42 year old footballers, well other than goalies.- The first gay president
Odd institution. With appoinments being largely political rather than meriticious simply being bigoted or pro life/Roe vs. Wade would be a qualification in itself. We would be more inclined to simply legislate rather than have legal precedent be such a major determining factor. - Movies you've seen recently
