I really like the outpouring of semen from occupational masturbation.

This entire article is just made of fuckin' tits and win. Another fine outing, O'Neal.

I thought it was see-through in the sunlight.

If I lay here, if I just lay here, I hope they'll think I'm dead and stop playing.

Discotheque is painful, like intentionally staring at the sun. Also, I hear that God will send his angels if you wear that velvet dress, but only if it's your last night on Earth.

Just on 'The Fly', I like the "Look, I gotta go/Yeah, I'm running out of change" line. It can be interpreted a ton of ways, but I like to think that the whole song is about this fucked-up dude that's had a personal epiphany, and finally thinks he has life and the universe all figured out. He's gotta tell someone this

"I'm afraid of ghosts! And sheets with holes in them! And regular sheets! I'm a Hufflepuff!"

I bet he would, too. Damn that crusty old dean!

SOON! TO! FILL OUR GUTS
THE! HOT-WINGS OF DEATH!
THE! CASHIER'S LAUGHING!
'CAUSE! I'M! OUT OF BREATH!

Yeah, but in SPR it's made clear that, as you mention, it's meant to represent shell-shock, and I agree with your assessment of its effectiveness. It's when it's not trying to convey something, apart from "OH SHIT YOU GUYS, THAT THING WE SHOT 6 WEEKS AGO WOULD BE AWSUM ALL SLOWED UP AND SHIT DOOOOO ITTTTT!!!" that

Music ended when the fat lady sang.

The thing I don't really get about Noel's comment regarding documentaries is that obviously, unlike feature film makers, doco makers have very little control over the environment in which they're shooting.

Using that argument, one has to take into account whom these cleaned up versions are primarily meant for? The purists who know the films by heart and saw them the first time around, or people who have only recently hit an age where they start giving a shit about truly great movies?

I fucking HATE the lowered frame-rate slow-mo. I'm yanked far harder out of a good show/film when the universe they've created is shattered by what is usually meant to be the most emotional scene being run at, like, 14 frames a second.

Did anyone find it as jarring as I did when The Bill changed from that kind of shaky-cam, 'you are there' camera work they'd had since forever, to high def, camera-mounted shots for every single scene?

I thought Johnny Ringo did. Huckleberry: I'm yours. If you're a daisy, that is.

Unfortunately, StreetCobra, I'd say you're 100% right. But one thing that does piss me off, and I'm sure it pisses of practical effects guys as well, is when they do/build something that's fucking amazing, and the audience just goes "Wow, that's good CG!" I mean, the amount, and quality, of practical effects in Starshi

How about my Two Ears Deaf cover band, One Mouth Dumb?

I'd dead leaves her dirty ground. Am I doing this right? Am I winning?

I SAID GOOD DAY, SIR!!!
