Superman Down

Simian bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the
lines of:

Heh, not all are like that.

Well, I've got no time for hoity-toity up-yer-arse actors/singers that
think they're better than anyone else. I've met quite a few, during my
time in London, as I've had the opportunity to work in a couple of
theatres. I've only got time for those that, although they may be
richer, don't treat people with contempt.

Oh yes, which ones. No oscars I bet. He's still a wanker.

 

Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespere in Love) got an Oscar as did Al Pacino (Scent
of a Woman Hoo Har) but Robert Mitchum (Night of the Hunter) and Henry
Fonda (Grapes of Wrath) didn't.

Which makes the whole Oscar charade meaningless.

 

Harley Davidson!

 

My bugbear is that the Best Foreign Film is almost always a better
film than the Best Film, so why doesn't the BFF get the BF award?

 

Whatever next.

Anyway, at least we've now got the definitive spelling of "nngh"
(first thumbnail picture).

 

Because it's foreign and the Oscars aren't.

 

Hmm. Howcome British movies (and Canadian, and anything else in
english) don't count as "foreign films"?

 

I think the exact definition is "Best Foreign Language Film" or is that
"Subsidised by Freedom Hating Weak Commie Interfering Governments"?

 

We speak English and don't wear towels.

 

You've obviously not seen me on my way back from the shower.

 

For which I am eternally thankful.

 

Babbling in tongues at the time, are you?

 

Mmm, glossolalia. Very charismatic, that.

 

<googles> Reading your posts is an education, it really is.

Actually, when I was a vulnerable teenager, I fell in with a bad lot -
evangelical Baptists. They were into all that stuff. Seems utterly
ridiculous now, but was quite seductive for some.

Anyway - recommended site of the day : http://skepdic.com

 

Heh )

When I was about 12 or 13, I made determined efforts to believe in God.
Failed miserably.

The sheltered flats next to us are attached to a Baptist outpost. Despite
the fact that there's a huge car park over the road, there's usually a few
Bap cars on the double yellow lines immediately outside the place. Clearly,
God has given them special dispensation not to be bothered with
inconveniences like the Road Traffic Act.

Excellent. <bookmarked>

 

I was brung up a Baptist and the desire to fit in made me think I
believed it all, even getting baptised aged 13. Suffered a miserable
teenagehood, I did. Wasn't until I went out and saw the world aged 16+
that I saw the light.

 

Offer him your head on a plate.

 

Of baptists

But don't do the dance of the seven veils first.

 

The swimming pool, you mean?

 

you really do say some bloody stupid things at times, Des.
