Part VI
Why do musical playing software have cross fade mixers when songs change from track to track? IT confuses me because the music wasn't meant to be heard like that. It's like if I was listening to music and put the news on the TV at the same time. But I don't have a TV connected up to receive broadcast. Because I don't need no TV it's no good anyway I'd only end up watching Cops but I can't even watch Cops anymore because I don't think the Cops channel even exists which is a shame really. A better setting to have would be the "Tape Player is running out of batteries" setting, relive the days where your tape player ran out of batteries and the singing got slowly slower and slower.
Another thing that is wrong is that Lawrence Fishburne has to age, if there was one man I don't want to age it would be Lawrence fishmonger. He should be left alone to lot get pudgy with age, which happens to us all. Unless you have high matabilism. But I know I sure don't, which is a shame because if I did it'd make my life a lot easier. I'd eat loads of doughnuts and not even care it would be amazing, they'd be filled with jam and I'd walk down to the local bakery and say "Hello, I'm here for the usual" and then they'd give me 10 doughnuts. You have to get them from the bakery, you could get them at the supermarket but the ones there are no good. It's like they don't even care about me there. The ones from the bakery are much better. None of those small doughnuts those are a con. The only people to become cooler from age is Clint Eastwood and DeForest Kelley.
Why was there never a buddy cop movie featuring Eastwood and Kelley? it would have been amazing. Kelley in the end would kick Eastwood's arse I am sure. Maybe eastwood could have directed it but I don't see much place for boxing or old ford cars to be in the film. It is not well known but DeForest Kelley put an end to WWII. I'm not sure what car they would drive, or who the police chief would be, but he'd have to be black. I think saying that isn't racist it's just needed. Putting two hard boiled cops together would make them super hard boiled and unstoppable. there'd be the part where they meet for the first time and hate each other but then get used to each other and then near the middle they'd split up and hate each other and just right near the end join forces once again in a thrilling conclusion where they get the murderer/drug lord and then make a snide comment at the end. Maybe they could both say the snide comment. Or both have different snide comments to make and say them at the same time. Like they shot the guys car and it exploded killing him and his six kids. DeForrest could say "Half a dozen eggs seems just about right to me" and Eastwood could say "I wouldn't know, I don't know how to cook." or he could say "I wouldn't know, I only work in the metric scale" which wouldn't make any sense. But maybe just maybe that's why he'd say it? Maybe as the credits roll it has a montage of kelley teaching eastwood how to bake a cake and it'd be funny because flour would get on their faces! Because obviously DeForrest would be a cop who is also partial to baking a cake or two.
Where are Parts I-V? Are you showing them George Lucas style? :=
But but but cross fading in software is usually just an option, right?
I cannot comment on the rest, as I don't watch films that much (in fact I haven't watched a single film in the cinema for more than 10 years now) and I don't even know most of the actors you're talking about.
Clint Eastwood has been around forever. How could you not know who he is? Though I also do not watch that many films I still have to say you can't get much better than Eastwood. As for the other stuff, I'm too lazy to comment more.
I said that I didn't know most of the actors. Anyway, Eastwood was the only actor mentioned that I know. ;) However, even for Eastwood I think I don't know him that much, just know who he is and I am not even sure whether I have ever watched a single film of his. Remember. I don't live in the west, and never naturally have any love for western cowboy stuff.
Yawr. I remember now. But he didn't just play in western movies. ;) Anyway, to each their own.

Isn't this more about hard boiled doughnuts and exploding eggs.. or the like?
But what about hate, violence and cute puppies?
Burton McWinstwater became a famous circus artist and toured the world, showing his famous tricks.
Julia Brewership got more beautiful each year and went on to marry the king of the world, killing six.
Artie Huckle got himself a brand new shotgun, just like the one he had lost in the sewers.
Flobbo & The Non-Foods hit the billboard charts on #3 with their masterpiece "Good grief-a ding dong!".
Roddy didn't return to Arizona ever again.
THE END.

Well, there's just something fundamentally wrong with this universe. A question can exist without an answer, but not viceversa that's why.

True, but give me any word and I can make up a question. That doesn't mean it's the right question.
Give me a question and I can make up an answer. Doesn't mean it's the right answer.
So they can, but nobody bothers to answer questions that aren't there =D

What's really wrong with the world though is that the vast majority of people put up with mediocrity, in all areas of life.

How about if I say this MIGHT be so?
Purple is tone what you've
learned that is purple. Bright blue also. But it might absolutely be different from tone others see!
Or what if other people see it vice versa? Or what's green for your mind and eyes appears totally blue for others? How can you ever check this theory or be sure? It's not like anyone could switch to your eyes and compare that colors seen from both persons' eyes are exactly same.

I can somewhat disprove this: light isn't divided neatly into exact hues, it's spread across a range of frequencies. If what you proposed above were true, you'd have some humans seeing red and green and two slightly varying shades of purple. As it stands now, we only have specific forms of color-blindness (red-green being the same, for example).
how are you sure that red is red? There are animals that can see 125.000 colours more than you can..
There's a tribe that only sees (or rather "classifies") just a few simple colours. For example, brown and blue are treated as the same colour (in some weird tribal speech). Anybody know what this tribe is called?

From a scientific viewpoint, if you have two colors in L*a*b space, you can calculate their difference using this formula:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/6/6/8/668de7ba6ad82d46d23cdd6537ab3fe2.png)
The average eye cannot distinguish between two colors if the result is lower than 3 or 4.
Thus the number of perceivably different colors is of course limited; and a statement like "There are animals that can see 125.000 colours more than you can." is misleading (sorry, Dualnames). They don't see additional colors (like dogs or bats hear additional frequencies), they rather see more different shades.
(I believe there are animals that can see Infrared or UV though. Bees? Dunno.)
Plus we have references like fresh grass, a cloudless sky during noon, rainbows and the like, and with a few rather linguistic exceptions, the whole world agrees that red is red and green is green.

Joke of the year! (seriously)
What I meant goes like this:
I'll show you red car and teach that it's red.
There's two sides of this experience, what I say and what you see. You can trust me in saying it's red, but I cannot check if you really see something that I'd agree really is red. Maybe there's a problem with your eye preceptors? So you'd learn that something is red while other people seeing it through your eyes totally disagree on it. You might see green actually!
Neverthless, nobody will ever find out. Because questionable is only what you
see, not what you call red. You call this car red, I do also, and both are right.
But then, scientific analysis of your brain and/or eye might prove that you see it not correctly. I doubt science has evolved so far, but such seeing disorder is unlikely too.
Just a theory :D
I've heard the "omg what if the colors you see aren't the colours you see omg" idea so many times as a mind-blowing device that it's lost its potency for me. It seems a little silly, especially considering that if we're really in a Matrix-like computer simulation, it wouldn't even matter. Food for thought!

The Westboro Baptist Church. That's the main thing that's wrong with the world. That people like them exist at all.
well don't the WBC actually believe that they are being good people?
If someone *believes* that they are being good surely that absolves them of all moral responsibility?
Just food for thought.
They're turning kids into slaves, just to make cheaper sneakers.
But what's the real cost, cause the sneakers don't seem that much cheaper?
Why are we still paying so much for sneakers when they're being made by little slave kids?
What are your overheads?
A good example of what's wrong with the world would be the forums mentioned here:
http://www.somethingawful.com/d/weekend-web/
There's harmless stuff like freeballing and merely disgusting stuff like wearing diapers as an adult, but there's also an insane amount of racial hatred, conspiracy nuts and unlimited stupidity.
It's quite amazing to read how people exchange stories about what's so great about popping zits, how to prepare spells to make the unfaithful boyfriend stay limp when he's with other women, how the government manages to protect the great wall of ice (to us round-earthers known as south pole), or which brand of diapers is best for people who like to pee in them while lying on their backs.
There's also furries, people who think they are vampires, and teenagers contemplating what to pack for their journey to Digimon land.
Oh and, btw, if any of you is eating or drinking something prepared by their partner right now, consider the possibility that it contains menstrual blood and/or urine. Bon appetit.

I've been admiring the obscure Flight of the Conchords reference under your avatar for a while. If I hadn't lost my hat last week, I'd take it off to you.
Ha ha, thanks, and indeed you cracked my signature wide open, I'll have to go find another one now ;)
I've been looking at that "Yes, technically I am" for a while going "Is that a reference?"
Hooray for clarity :D
Also, I love dipping pieces of cake in milk before eating them, as one does with biscuits.

Dipping that Golden Syrup cake bar stuff in milk is pretty fab.

You mean like Celine Dion?
When Rolling Stone's list of 100 greatest artists include NIN and don't include Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Kinks, Journey, Boston, Queen.
Yes, Al I bitch about it.
I second the previous notion and would also like to mention the rock'n roll hall of fame is a disgrace.

Ha ha. :P Actually I meant any moment in concerts that are supposed to be a bit quiet or if an entertainer is talking or something.
And you know how Seinfeld (and others) had that "and what is up with those airline peanuts" or something along those lines? Well last year I got a sandwich and all in the airplane, but last month I went to Barcelona and now all they do is sell food and drinks...f-in economic crysis.
