Oh good lord. It's this sort of thing that makes you take a step back and by wonder how we arrived at a society that decides to give all the money to people like this. I know he's apparently "broke" by someone's definition of the word, but not before we collectively decided to give him ridiculous sums of money. And yes, I liked Wild at Heart and Raising Arizona and Adaptation and all that, but still. STILL. I also really like the work that my friends who teach children are doing and we can't find any money for him. We're all just like "Nope, give it to the guy who's been imagining himself as a sorceror since his father bult him a castle when he was a kid. He's working on a completely forgettable film about being that sorceror. Those teachers have summer's off for crying out loud, what are they complaining about?" Cool society.
Wouldn't this be more impressive if she were more than 12 inches from her targets? I've never fired a handgun in my life, and I'm confident I could run up to six different targets and hit them at point blank range on the very first try.
So has Costner just been sitting on this solution for the last month? Sounds like he's had this in his pocket for a while now and must have just been waiting for something like this to happen. Let's go Costner - do your thing!
I don't think swords made the "mass destruction" qualification. Under the current definition, nerds are completely within their rights to own and possess swords, throwing stars, nun chucks, and mini cannons. If there's any destruction they're going to cause with these items it will undoubtedly be to themselves and/or other nerds. It's the nerds with dirty bombs, machine guns, and homemade particle accelerators that we really need to be worried about.
Yes, a new tag is needed for material that is not outright pornographic, but would be awkward to be caught watching at work, by your wife, kids, whatever. Watermelon woman and that dude pouring food over himself in front of an audience of elderly people are even better examples than bare butt bedroom raver, but it would apply here as well. Maybe ICWATE (If Caught Watching, Awkward To Explain )?
Exactly. In some cases it seems like people sort of get that they don't know how to use it appropriately, so they just throw it out there and see if it works:
"I saw this dog that looks like your dog the other day, but it was black, ironic, huh?"
"Umm are you asking me? Because, no, no that's not ironic."
"But it was, cause I was just thinking about your dog."
"No. That's barely coincidental, and it's not really funny or weird either. It's just something you saw and then told me, that's all. Leave it at that".
Easily 95% of the population believes that ironically = coincidentally. This annoys me every single time. There's nothing you can do about it either. Pointing out when people use it incorrectly never works, and you just look like some kind of a grammar douche. For all intensive purposes (ha - I see this all the time too) you just have to accept that it now means coincidentally to everyone.
Song selection for the dance floor at a white person's multi-generational event is VERY difficult. Anything that can actually be danced too will not be recognized by the majority of your audience, and anything that they recognize cannot be danced to. That's how we wind up with the Black Eyed Peas.
It's more than a money thing anyway. You don't any money to remove a baseball hat, and you don't need very much money to purchase pants. It also costs nothing to not slap a woman's boobs in time to a Phil Collins song.
It is good to keep in mind who's looking at things through the "entertainment filter" as opposed to, I guess, the "facts filter". Entirely different conclusions may be drawn depending on your filter of preference.
Hey, it's impressive that this guy only just lost the thread with Lady Gaga. I was always impressed with how current he stayed through psych, disco, hardcore, hair metal, hip hop, grunge, electronica, trip hop, noise and freak folk just to name a few. But alas, finally Bieber and Lady Gaga - two of the most easily accessible artists out there, threw him for a loop. Sorry you've lost your edge Andy Rooney.
This basically qualifies as NSFW. If you are caught watching this, there is no adequate way to explain it. It would be MUCH simpler to explain watching traditional porn.
Mastodon did music for this film. As great as they are, it does seem an odd choice for an Old West movie (Civil War movie? I don't know much about this movie) but they've also written concept albums about Moby Dick and Rasputin, so....makes sense?
I work right by O'Hare and the view out my window looks directly down one of the landing patterns. On a clear day you can see planes lined up single file, as many as eight deep, and they just keep coming...all...day...long... Ummm...what was that about some Sun Chips now?
My question would be what line is it that you feel has to be drawn? The line between empowering people who legally reside in this country to support themselves and discouraging it? People who do not speak English as their first language legally reside in this country in the millions, and they drive cars. Even if you want to promote English as an official national language, why start at the DMV?
I was hungover on an airplane that was showing that movie, and I still had to stop watching no more than 10 minutes in. I'm not sure that movie is even watchable.
Ah yes, thank you. I can't always watch the videos depending on which firewall I happen to be protected by at the time. Now I shall sleep...unless I can't stop thinking about the boner ghost.
