Re: Cultural Cringe? The commercial is stupid. 'Bloody' may be a widely accepted piece of colloquial Australian language, but as far as I know, it has no positive connotations. The words 'bloody hell' are almost exclusively used to express anger or frustration. It is not a jovial expression...

OH NOES BETTER DROP OUT EVERY1 !$%!*!!!!11

I think it should be treated more seriously. I have a brother who is heavily addicted to computer games. When he loses he goes through fits of rage that can last hours. He screams uncontrollably, throws objects, often breaks his gaming equipment, and lashes out violently. I honestly think he...

This is the greatest thread in the history of the internet.

I loved everything about this film. I think that a lot of the people who found it 'slow' didn't really appreciate the subtlety of the way the relationship developed. I'd go on about why it was so wonderful, but I think everyone who gets it gets it. And I haven't cried in a movie since they...

Jesus Christ I don't even know what this thread is about anymore. But anyway, I should have watched Jarhead after I watched Brokeback Mountain. Maybe then I'd have appreciated the scenes where Jake danced around nakedly. I think this movie would have been much more effective had it focused on...

I went, first year. I thought about going alone, but decided to bring a friend. Great idea; we had a lot of fun and found some interesting people to talk to (it's always a lot easier to break the ice when you know you've got a friend around to fall back on). The lines were crazy. We spent half...

I'll agree with that, of course. There's a difference between a quiet pace and a tedious one. I didn't feel Golden's characterizations were strong enough to support the former.

Re: Renae Lawrence - Life in Prison. First of Bali 9 to be Sentenced Life is a ridiculous sentence altogether. So now she's going to uselessly occupy space while she slowly rots to death. I'd prefer death by firing squad, myself.

I'll probably go, I just hope I can find someone to go with before Thursday. Ugh, I dread talking to strangers.

I LOLed.

I disliked it. Mostly because of the overwhelming sense of claustrophobia and tedious pace. Chapters seemed to pass by without anything actually happening. The whole 'Chairman' fantasy was frankly ridiculous, making it painfully obvious that despite Golden's historical/cultural knowledge, he has...

I've read The Shipping News. It was very good and, interestingly, the film adaptation was so painfully faithful to the original text that I almost couldn't watch it. I hope Brokeback Mountain's success gains Proulx further exposure.

Someone should let you know that Bladerunner is not a book.

Litte, Big by John Crowley. It is not very good so far.

YOU WIN. That, and The Glass Jar; spoiled middle glass white girl complains ceaselessly about fictitious and/or utterly irrelevant problems. Good job trying to kill yourself for no reason. Sylvia Plath is so fucking emo it hurts.

The little troopers!

Yes, thanks for clearing that up. I thought it was kind of obvious. That doesn't even make sense. Me briefly stating my opinion in an internet forum vs. angry Muslims violently attacking foreign embassies? Great logic. Of course all religions have extremists, but this thread isn't about all...
