Got you beat. I probably haven't shaved since May. Can't actually remember, that's how long it's been.
That must've been the best. The only time a bad movie serves a purpose, it's when it's being made fun of. :)
I used to watch it all the time growing up. Now... ehhhh not so much.
It's ok, I mean it's not horrible or anything. It's just not for me I guess.
There's other movies that are really popular that I can't stand. "It's a wonderful life" for example. That and "Electric Dreams", took me just one viewing. I do like Giorgio Moroder though.
Well, it doesn't have to be you. I'm sure there's plenty of jews who would want that title.
Why, on a forum like this...

The 'Independance Day' thoughts raises an interesting film question. Is a "stereotyped" character okay if it's a massively positive portrayal?
I can't see the 'Julius Levinson' character as a negative-stereotype as he is such a lovely character. One of the most likeable things in that film.
Likeable, maybe. But was it necessary to write him like that? That's what's odd about him. It's somewhat distracting.
I go on about how good it is too often but, 'Short Circuit 2'. Fisher Stevens not only "browns up" his skin but puts on a ridiculous exagerated accent and mixes up his words "how time is fun when you're having flies" to play Ben Jarhvi. But again the character is played with such warmth and humour. Ben's such a lovely guy and you are rooting for him to get the girl.
Dude, Ben Jarhvi was so embarrassing. Nothing he said was funny IMHO, just annoying. Not as obnoxious and loud as Jar Jar Binx, but man... Why did he have to be the focus of the second movie? Not that the first one was a masterpiece...

Fair enough. In this particular case, I decided as a moderator that it was better to be safe than sorry, based on what I'd heard and read.
Right on.
But it has nothing to do with this website or The Case Of The Hasidic Jew Review. So thanks for bringing it up, Neglify!
now that was a good movie. And potentially somebody's user title.
There's self hating jews, though, as I'm sure you know this already.
I don't know, he looks and sounds very stereotypical. He's practically Watto. Of course, the difference is Watto is portrayed as greedy, Julius looks more goofy than anything.
This is another quote from the movie:
If I knew I was going to meet the president, I would have worn a tie. I mean, look at me. I look like a schlemiel.

I barely remember that piece of garbage movie, I didn't even remember that character being in it.
Well, here's a clip to refresh your memory:

Judd enters around 40 seconds in.
Ha ha ha ha
so many possible captions...
To try and mix it up a bit while coming back to the topic of movies, now that Frink has mentioned his heritage, I'd like to ask him what he thought of Judd Hirsch in "Independence Day". I've heard comments about his character... would you agree in saying that he was... a bit over the top, shall we say?

Fine. I just argue because I care.
I'm probably missing something.
Let me recap. Gatos apparently wrote "Peter Quinn is dreamy. No homo.", right?
That just means "Peter Quinn is a handsome dude, but I'm not attracted to him because I'm not gay." That is it. You, it seems, attached the "because being gay is icky" in your mind, not because you're homophobic, but because maybe you misread his intentions.
I've read and heard plenty of people expressing their personal point of view about a particular individual in that same exact way (So and so is really handsome, no homo), never once I've thought they were being racists towards homosexuals. It's just an expression. You may think it's inelegant and kinda rude, and I could agree with you. But deliberately offensive? I don't agree with that.
JEDIT: by the way, I've googled this Peter Quinn fellow. Does nothing for me.
I would also like to inquire as to why should the phrase "no homo" be considered offensive and/or racist.
The word "homo" is, in this case, used as an abbreviation for the whole term. It makes sense because "no homo" is something one would say as a quick interjection, a puntualization between statements.
Just like everything, it depends on the context, and how you say it.
Louis CK said something similar about the word "Jew":
"Jew is a funny word because it's the only word that's the polite thing to call a group of people, and the slur for the same group. Most groups have a good and a bad one, theirs it the same word, just with a little stank on it. And it becomes a terrible thing to call a person cause if he's a jew he's fine, but if he's a jeeewww... like, that's all it takes??"
Please, can we stop getting offended on the behalf of others? Seems like it's the trend these days.
Ok, but who's on first base?
*counts*
mmmh... no, just four and a half. Sorry.

Reminds me of how donald duck was banned in finland for a long time because he didn't wear pants. XD
sorry, urban legend
Business as usual in Italy. Why care about silly things like corrupt politicians, crime up the wazoo, when mammamia, dis-a trolleys, der-a too noisy!! Ban-a them-a!
Right, off you go.
W H A T ... have you learned while you were waiting for me to return from the loo?
love these cards :)
I think I know now what buyer's remorse is.
I just bought two nes games from Ebay. I didn't spend an unholy sum, but it definately is above my usual spending habits.
I know I'll still be happy when I see the carts in the mail, but I still shat my pants when I read the invoice.
I'm an ASS. I'm broke. I should get a job. Why don't I get a job???
