  1. I guess you have to watch how you tap your feet in the mensroom, apparently it's like one of those secret gay handshakes.
  2. I was Vader, which is handy since he's the only character other than Yoda I can stand.
  3. Well yes, I suppose boring is much worse than bad, but Delicatessen, City of the forgotten children, Amelie - some of my favorite wacky movies. Then this bland mash of comercialism and eye candy. So sad.
  4. I have a soft spot for predator 2, even if it is pretty silly, it did what it was supposed to do well, and I like Danny Glover as leading man, other than that, everything after Aliens have been varying degrees of disapoinment, the greatest disapoinment is that one of my favorite directors screwed up one of my favorite series, eg, Alien Ressurection, by going the 'comic' route instead of holding to realism. Space pirates and gene alien muppet freaks,... what the hell for ???
  5. I disagree on comics, but, the games haven't been bad. In movies, the crab faced hunters fared quite well alone, Predator 2 is better for my money than the last Alien movie. They don't work well with Aliens in movies because the Alien universe should be all about survival horror and most of all realism. The preds don't fit the bill, they are too much larger than life, and they aren't needed anyway, for realism you need a strong acting component, preds can't act, at least Aliens can be scary.
  6. I wish someone would perform an operation to remove all traces of predators from from oficial alien 'cannon'
  7. I have to say though that I have very little interest in superheroes unless it's done by someone I like already, then I can forgive the subject matter and enjoy it.
  8. I guess it's an aquired taste, I always thougth Sandman was just silly. Good comics don't come from one country, or one continent, the gods were fair and sprinkled crap and briliance equally.
  9. Theres plenty of good manga and anime, it's just hiding behind mounds and mounds of crap. Much like comics really. PS, Val
  10. Thats one impressive package on green ring guy. Anywho, superheroes are usually, usually, boring, but comics is so much more than superhero stuff fortunately. I just started reading Jeff Smith's Bone from end to end now that I have them all.
  11. It is astoundly hilarious, how they use the word "victim" for someone who was assaulted on the shoulder with a punch of cooked meat(meat?, you never know with Euro sausages). I resent that, the best sausages in the world are made in Italy, everyone knows that.

    Guilty!

    Our suggar comes out of turnips. One thing I don't understand though, Unrefined suggar tastes so much better when it's from canes, so, why do they even bother refining it into the white kind. And why does unrefined suggar with the molasses still in it cost more, doesen't make any sense.
  13. They don't use ponchos in Afghanistan you muppet.

    I can't fathom the 'gangland' dog fighting culture among mostly latinos and blacks. It's utterly demented. Just a reaction from a dog owner who doesen't care anything for American football, or this twerp's career.
  15. Countries should really stop 'pleding' money for various charitable purposes without actually having looked at their budget first. It's the same with the UNHCR and the World Food Programme, a lot can be done to prevent those pictures of starving children we see on the news every time there is a famine in Africa, but most of the money doesen't start to appear before we do.
  16. An old ww2 Thomson, must have been worth a pretty penny.
  17. Hold on now, 'violence against civlians'. Thats a far cry from the militant animal crackpots. I think some of them set fire to some buildings at one point, but that was the height of it.
  18. PETA has just one thing they care passionately about, thats fine too. Just remember that Hamas is more than just a terrorist organisation, they provide health care and 'education' as well as social work. So in that vein it does matter what they get up to other than blowing people up.
  19. Apropos, a journalist on one of our big networks was recently let go because of an Iraq update he did. He was filmed talking from inside an APC trying to find just the right hook to make the danish withdrawal sound like something monumental, waving his hands to the landscape he opened with 'Denmark, is now leaving Iraq'. The convoy was actually on it's way to Iraq, a few miles of the border however, not leaving. These tricks are all part of the business.
  20. They go through the trouble of hacking the UN, and all they do is scribble little messages. Seems like a 'hey, were in, what are we gonna do now' kinda deal. Basic grammar would have helped too.
  21. I know a guy who used to be a phoner for a charity, around 30% went directly to operations, some kind of African project, the rest payed for wages and headquarters. There ought to be some kind of official government stamp of approval on these things that the companies can't get if they aren't serious enough about it.
  22. I dunno, I have sweet spot for people who aren't all shrivelled up and realistic, but who still believe they can make a difference by attending demonstrations. This is democracy at work, at least someone cares to participate.

    Last meal

    A fake cake with an escape kit
  24. She seems like pixes to me. Twileks are hot though.
