  1. Why wouldn't it be sci-fi? In the early 19th century, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein helped define the form of the science fiction novel. Just because Young Frankenstein is a comedy at heart doesn't mean that it's not sci-fi as well.
  2. Wouldn't want to be in some industries like the building industry. Imagine being a brick layer or bathroom tiler in your 60s. Or even a courier driver delivering parcels in your 60s. I think you'll die before you retire.
  3. Just print more money to pay it back. Oh wait, you're already doing that. Never seen the US$ go down so much in the last 30 years. Great time for us to buy stuff online from the US.
  4. So, Kaftan, exactly which channel in Sweden is showing this series? Pretty sure Kaftan watched it on Channel BT.
  5. Went to Killa's today for their 30 cm (1 foot) wide burger. They serve it in a cake box. Still digesting it after an hour since I got home.
  6. Piranha (2010). It was like one of those WTF movies. The underwater ballet scene was awesome.
  7. The Guy underneasth Devil's tail. He seems to be in an interesting position. Or I have my mind in the gutter again.
  8. While reading one of my Phantom comics, I came across this page. I feel sorry for poor Devil. edited for size.
  9. Predators. Quite a good movie I thought.
  10. Not really. What started out as a libertarian movement based on constitutionalist ideals is now being projected as a far right nutjob group through media manipulation. There's nothing 'projected' about people like Christine O'Donnell becoming endorsed nominees.
  11. I see the tea party as the rights answer to the left-wing groups such as the various green/enviromental/animal/socialist/anti-war movements. It's only a natural progression as the right saw the left take more power through these groups.
  12. Just got back today from my ski trip with the gf to Queenstown. awesome stuff.
  13. Prince of Persia. Never played the game so I don't know how accurate it was but I'm sure it probably had nothing to do with the game other than name only and the guy jumping all over the place. Also, Sherlock Holmes. Both movies weren't bad but they weren't exactly great either. Since I saw them on a plane and were free, I guess they were okay.
  14. Poor people are gonna multiply whether they have the means or not. Idiocracy at work.
  15. They should make these oil wells safer.
  16. I didn't know you were Obama.
  17. For some reason, I have a mental picture of you being a ginger now. In fact, that was the name of my cat. Similar to the one below. Unfortunately, he died. And no, we never put him in a wheelie bin.
  18. It was the home owners personal security camera.
  19. I thought Extinction was the best out of the three which says a lot of what I thought about the previous two.
  20. After Shock, based on the Tangshan Earthquake in 1976 that took the lives of 240,000 people. My girlfriend was in tears throughout a lot of the movie, especially near the end. She was practically bawling her eyes out. Was hard for me not to shed a few tears. Very moving. Don't know why imdb has the English name wrong. Here's a screen shot from the movie.
  21. I knew political correctness went too far with words when "Bah Bah Black Sheep" had to be edited for sensitivity purposes.
  22. I would like to remind everyone, that not so long ago, saying the words "God" or "Jesus" spoken out of biblical context was considered blasphemy and punishable by death. All Nationalities and countries have a slang name to describe them, what makes one more offensive than the other? They are called words. Does the term "black fella" make you cry and ashamed? How about "white fella"? "White bread"? "Trailor Trash?", "Bogan?" I don't agree with the findings that the words are not offensive, but agree with the findings that they are not offensive enough to be criminal. I personally think "verbal assault" is a joke. Forget racial motivations for a minute, but if I were to call you a wanker or the like, that can technically be classed as verbal assault. Does calling somebody a name that hurts their poor little feelings deserve a criminal case? Or even a civil case for that matter? Or do people just need to toughen up and stop being offended at everything?
  23. Well what we've learned today is NEVER attempt to steal someone's Nintendo DS, you NEVER know what might happen.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb7CNfMs65c That guy at the counter took that shot to the jaw like nothing happened. probably used to taking a few back in school.
  24. Just watched the Lost Epilogue. They explained the Dharma Food Drops, Polar Bears, Interrogation Room 23, and Walt was in it. Needed more time though.
