I was prepared for it to be awful. Instead it was subtle and slightly moody. I sort of like it.

"a little steamy" = the understatement of the century.

Nice. :)

Best case scenario: Millions would be pre-emptively spent on fencing and other security measures, then on the day of, more money would be spent on several hundred security guards who would stand, bored to death out in the heat wearing riot gear and getting a headache waiting for the protestors, who would smell…

Aaaand who says there isn't one already? How would you know?

And this.

It's a wonderful country. :)

Nope, just lived there for a bit. You?

High as hell on adrenaline, did they really think he was going to be cogent of the compas points? There's a reason for the smoke, they should have jsut popped smoke from the start.

Couple years ago a balloon launch in central Australia for a deep space observing telescope didn't go as planned. There were bits the mission folks didn't want laying about.

Felix was awesome. Mission Control and his guardian angel came off as kind of a wiener.

Ok, this is what that balloon looks like up close. The edges are heat-sealed to reinforce them.

Better upfront than later. Absolutely for the best to be straight form the get-go. And if his partner can't handle it, well, best that he knows that from the start too. See, communication! You're doing it right.

You're perpetuating the stereotype of the internet male. Given nothing but a pair of hands and a voice, neither of which have provided any cues that they'd be even remotely willing to interact with you as a person, you're extrapolating an entire sexual experience, and critiquing said imaginary experience.

It may just be a mechanical challenge, like a puzzle, but it's utterly amazing how often those go wrong. It's nice, in the case of Looper, to see it gotten right.

There's things you shouldn't google, and "sexy monster" is definitely on that list. If you're eating. Although, if you're on a diet, it could be a good thing.
