    Did anybody else here hate the English syllabus?

    What I hate, is that instead of studying all the themes of a book and looking at its social context and comparing it with other literiture of the time, we end up studying the text along one simple line. This way of teaching does not give students a total appreciation of the text. It pisses me...

    love actually

    My stepmum saw it and really liked it. But then again she doesnt have the most discriminating taste. Just because the movie has a ton of stars, doesnt mean it will be good. In fact, putting so many stars in one movie risks saturating the viewer.

    Best games of the century

    Ultima Online. It was the founding father of the MMORPG and a great game besides.

    Console wars!!

    Nintendo announced that a GC with DVD capabilities was on its way before teh GC was released. Im not disappointed with the Xbox, the games might not have the Nintendo magic, but they are still damn good. Ive got so many hours out of Morrowind and Halo. But I suspect if the GC games are anything...

    Did anybody else here hate the English syllabus?

    It wasnt the texts that I didnt like, but I thought the English syllabus was the most pompous pretentious crap that managed to molest all the fun out of the course. Seriously, we studied Arthur Millers "The Cruicible" in year 11. Great play, but instead of looking at the themes and how...

    Favourite Character?

    I dunno, I hated the Empire series and only managed to get to halfway through the second book. I guess I was looking for some Raymond Feist when I read it, but he had just gotten divorced at the time of writing and was being totally pussy-whipped by Janny Wurts so she could get some dosh. Well...

    predictable

    I want to kill Delta Goodrem. I reckon she would be the prissiest bitch in real life.

    Console wars!!

    Id only be buying a CG for the first party games. Nearly all the third party games on the GC are multi-platform so I can pick them up for Xbox.

    Anyone read "Paradise Lost" here

    Towards the end of the first chapter there is a bit where Milton describes Satan's army. I remember that as being totally amazing.

    Why is HP so famous?

    Nearly all fantasy books centre around someone who starts out as a normal person. They are nearly all rags to riches tales.

    Most violent death sequence in a movie ...

    That death had to be the most comic moment in movie history. I cant help but burst out laughing whenever I see it.

    Console wars!!

    Nintendo make great games. I think the quality has slipped a bit from the N64 days, but they are still great. I ended up getting an Xbox over a GCN though because at the time they were similarly priced but the Xbox was better value because of the DVD player and the harddrive. Im going to pick a...

    Cologne/Perfume

    Yea, cologne is so much cheaper overseas and to order over the internet. Bloody ridiculous department store mark-ups.

    Cologne/Perfume

    Dior Farenheit is really nice when it dries but it reeks bad when it isnt. Issaey Myake make really nice colognes too.

    What Are You Reading?

    Ive avoided that. It seems to me like typical post S11 America bashing. I tend to avoid authors who are pretentious enough to write under the name Dirty But Clean Pierre when their real name is Peter. Right now Im re-reading Notes From the Underground by Dostoevsky.
