I think "Being Simon Mayo" is more offensive than anything else on that list.

My dad was in the Navy back in the 80s, and he's got a massive coin/paper money collection from loads of countries. I might take an inventory next time I go back home.

I'm not sure I'd be able to handle multiplayer on this game, just because I've grown to love all the maps on the N64 version. It just won't be the same without the Facility level (one-hit-kill slappers only, motherfucker).

Just finished John Dies at the End, which was hilarious. Almost like a modern Ghostbusters. I just hope Don Coscarelli's film adaptation does it justice.

Also been trying to slog through a book Ferris recommended to me ( Liberty and Tyranny by Mark Levin).

Do they hate children then?

Frink, I've just realized something. In order to save threads from being deleted, you do know about Firefox's "Save Page As..." feature, right? Perhaps you could find a way to upload the saved pages to another site for archival purposes?

  Today we see those things and think "day time television".  Tomorrow we'll just see the film.  Really clearly.

That reminds me. My dad recently got an HDTV with some kind of optional MotionTrack setting (can't remember the real name of it for the life of me), and I think it's meant to be used primarily for sporting events, but it makes everything look like day-time television. It's really strange watching Dexter or Star Wars with that on. We flipped to a channel where Tomb Raider was on, and it makes everything look really cheap, because it almost looks like it was filmed like a behind-the-scenes documentary and the sets looked a lot faker.

Crazy Train... with a twist.

This guy's channel is full of gems I never would have thought possible

This is incredible.

You might also get a kick out of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipy58SaIRhs

And by giving space in the timeline, possibly even as far as 100 years or 1,000 years in the Star Wars universe future, Lucas avoids having to make these stories “fit in” with what the previous stories have told.

He sure didn't let that stop him last time around.

Also, let's look at this for a second. The prequels were produced over a 9 year period, give or take a little bit. Now if we put that same time frame on a sequel trilogy, if they start production in 2017, then George will be an 82 year old man when the final movie is released in 2026, 49 years after the original was released.

Jesus George, let it go.

Tonight I've been mostly watching The Odd Couple.

It never goes stale, not like the contents of Walter's fridge.

The Odd Couple is one of my favorite movies ever.

"It's not spaghetti, it's linguini"

"Now it's GARBAGE"

Now that I'm thinking about Matthau and Lemmon, Grumpy Old Men was great too, especially Burgess Meredith's character:

Gustufson On Health

Google's telling me nothing, what's McShoot? :P

Apocalypse Now -

The whole opening scene, up until the end of the song. I honestly think this is one of the greatest opening scenes ever filmed:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4WJlLNIsyY

Star Wars - I never get tired of watching the Rebel attack on the Death Star.

Leon - Several scenes, but the one that immediately comes to mind is after the shootout, and Natalie Portman is walking by the apartment and sees what happened, and she walks up to Leon's door and there's a really tense minutes or so where she's waiting for Leon to open the door. Always gives me chills.

It seems like Batman tends to lean towards the conservative end of the spectrum, especially in The Dark Knight.

So let's talk about Fallout: New Vegas.

I'm only about 10 hours in, but I'd say it stomps Fallout 3 already. Obsidian brought back a lot of stuff from the first two games (Traits, the Survival skill is back), there's more of an emphasis on crafting (you can create herbal remedies and you can craft your own ammo), and the writing just seems better.

Also, take the Wild Wasteland perk. Do it.

Heard this rumor a while back, glad to hear they're going through with it. Although he'll always be Tim Canterbury to me. :P

Also, I really hope they go through with casting James Nesbitt as something. That man should be in everything

The Redux version destroys the pacing, watch the original.

Then watch it again.

im 12 years old and what is this

 Take Seinfeld, for example: a tremendously successful tv show, but one which ultimately does very little for me.  I'll watch it if other people want to, and I'll laugh at all the funny parts, but I feel no real connection with it, and would actively prefer not to watch it if possible.

 Curb Your Enthusiasm is superior to Seinfeld in pretty much every way. Have you seen it? (It's written by the same guy who created and wrote most of Seinfeld, but he also stars in it, and he's funnier than every cast member of Seinfeld combined)

If you live here and are anti-American, try spending some time outside of the US every now and then.  Man, does that always make me grateful to be an American. 

I went to Germany over the summer and it was wonderful. I'd gladly move there if I could afford it. Were you merely referring to non-first-world countries outside of America? 

I think my journeys through the airports of those respective countries really helped summarize the attitudes of those countries as a whole. When I arrived in the airport in Frankfurt, we just stood in line for some guy to stamp our passports. When I arrived in Atlanta, we had to go through customs lines for over an hour, have our baggage checked AGAIN before we could board our transfer flights, and were just generally made to feel like sheep being herded through a big line. Welcoming, indeed. It was nice to go to a country that isn't crippled with fear for a change.

ChainsawAsh, I think we're the same person.

You know what, I'm with you on that. I'll put it in my signature to spread the word.

Nope, you just have to be anti-American, or a pacifist, or and extreme leftist. 

Buzzwords and labels. There's nothing wrong with being critical of leadership, especially shitty leadership.
