I won't get drawn into a debate on Lucas's creative talent, but as a director he's horrendous.

Which is why ep. 5 and 6 , which he didn't direct are markedly better better from a direction point of view.

The Matrix is cookie cutter rubbish, with stock ontological paradoxes and the feeling of depth without substance.

hey! It's just like Novo!

Yeah, I'm Sylpher as well.

My ancestor was excommunicated from the Mormon church in NSW for marrying a non Mormon. I don't think that was official policy even then, but they did it anyway.

Timosity-Little pointless facts, the TER became the UAI (University Admissions Index) which instead of being measured against all who did the HSC is measured againsted your entire Year 10 year, so everyone who dropped out has the lowest UAIs, and all most numbers are higher as a result.

Stand in front of the computer whilst your mate turns the lights on and off.

Hey, it works for Kraftwerk.

Well of course he wasn't fat, the technicalities of the middle path prevent that, the fatness is symbolic of contentness.


On the Fish on a friday note, there used to be Beavers in Britain (no shit). But as they swam, they must be fish right? right???

Well, no, but it was used as an excuse to have red meat on a Friday, and they were hunted to extinction.

Panda-Cows have hooves as well, as do sheep, but no one hears of them refusing to eat beef or mutton.

Neither can (if they're practicing).

It's considered unhygenic because pigs don't chew the cud.

Then again, it's like Christianitys old Fish on a Friday rule. It's waned, and whether it becomes rule or tradition ends up with the individual.

Remixor-Can you give an example of bad acting in the film?

No wait, scratch that, can you give an example of acting in the film?

Exploding Vagina? Does that mean they've gone from shoddy knock offs of cyberpunk and manga coupled with mutilations of HK Kung Fu films to knocking of Troma?

That's going too far man.

Well that's why I did my study. It was a simple statistical analysis of demographic. It's changed somewhat since then, but it was still interesting.

Well, several people here have cited a man who deployed troops against the Suffragettes [lets see you get the vote now bitch!], as well as striking unionists. A man who through his own folly and arrogance in a leadership he got only by right of birth, led thousands of men to death in the Dardanelles and who advocated chemical warfare against the Mesopetamian tribes (now Iraq) as a way of making them subservient to the Mandate.

All heros are villians. If there's someone to admire, they sure ain't in politics.

His initials were GR, because he revered them to get Hergé

Nah, it was oriental, and had a dissapointing lack of homoeroticism.

They never had "the dogs" in it.

A mate of mine is heading to Britain in a couple of weeks for some world Karate championships. I think he has talent there....


I spent a semester of art doing that one at the olympics where fat guys grab each other's upper arms and shake each other.

That said, it was entertaining.
