Oh wow, cool! Was Spielberg or Jackson there? Or can you not talk about that?
When I say "Press Screening," I mean the kind of screening that local movie critics get so they can publish a review for the film as their job. So, no, they weren't there.
However, the studio rep said I can't talk about the film until the release, which sucks because I really want to talk about it...
So the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced this year's class. Yet again, Rush, KISS, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Journey, Iron Maiden, The Guess Who, Blue Oyster Cult etc etc are not included.... yet Eric Clapton is in there 3 times. This is just a big joke to me now.
I just spent an hour and a half writing a (mostly) open and honest Facebook message to the girl who I've spent the last year and a half blaming for the falling out in my group of friends. I know it's progress towards getting things fixed, but it just feels weird.

OH. MY. GOD!! :mad:
Deep Purple, Rush, Iron Maiden, and Blue Oyster Cult would be on the top of my list!!
(Along with Dio of course! )
The others would be next in line too!
I mean those bands above are both iconic, and contributed to music overall.
Rush IS Prog rock. No denying it!
And Deep Purple is friggin Deep Purple!!
Metal would not be the same without Blue Oyster Cult and Iron Maiden!
I urge everyone to dislike and flag this ad for the vile, disgusting hate speech that it is. That people can actually publicly hold this kind of opinion while seeking office is, frankly, one of the most vile, evil things in this country today.
Completely forgot I made this nine years ago in high school, but heck, if this were the premise of a real anime, I'd totally get it.
You know I'd love an anime set in a casino.
I remember I posted aaages ago about an adventure game concept where you played as a chronic gambler, who has to raise a cetain amount of cash to a mafia boss in 48 hours, else he would have a hit placed on him.
(But he would also have to avoid other people he owed money to, and do some crazy puzzles to worm his way out of situations)
That character could work in this too.
It could be like Baccano, or Paranoia Agent, where each episode or different sets of episodes focus on different characters with an interlinking storyline.
Maybe another storyline which is a Hangover parody, and a group of friends have to look for their missing buddy.
Man making that would be so much fun!
EDIT: OH! And a Twilight Zone parody, the one where the guy gambles all his money on this one slot machine, and the machine is always persuing him.
Did Facebook accidentally set itself to pirate again.
Yes, there is a pirate facebook.
(You change English US on the bottom of the page to English: Pirate)
Actually, I keep my facebook setting permanently on Pirate. I did it for a joke, but now I really can't navigate it when it's in normal English. I like skewering people, Saying "Arr!" to things I like, "Belay" to things I don't like, and weighing in on posts I'd like to comment on.
But this...was rather unusual and mildly disturbing. The only solution?
...CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
Now I wish there was a "Wizard" language setting...
ARghhhh, NOOOO! Sister's X-mas present in DANGER!!

Freedom of speech means tolerating even the opinions I greatly disagree with.

Since YouTube is privately run and does have flags for and discourages content such as blatant hate speech on their property, it is absolutely NOT a matter protected under free speech. If he wants to spew vile, caustic hatred in the public square or through a mediator that supports hate speech, fine. Free speech does NOT mean he can directly violate the YouTube TOS, nor that people cannot confront the speech from a private perspective. Perry's appeal to bigotry is protected from GOVERNMENT censorship, not YouTube's.
Considering the reaction, leaving the video up (and it most likely will stay up) would be far more damaging to Mr. Perrys campaign than having it removed and swept under the carpet.
Personally, I think "Perry campaign ad pulled from YouTube for hate speech" would make a lovely headline.
It does have a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Also...this is the internet. There will be, if not already, tons of copies floating around youtube. Having Perry's personal one forcibly removed would be more like a symbol how this is Not Okay, while people could still view the speech through alternate channels if they wish.
I keep hoping someone will bash Perry's mouth with a bit of lead pipe so it will swell up and stupid shit will stop being excreted from it. Then again, I hope for this from most Republicans so there's nothing new here.
I'm leaving this forum until this "arrow" meme blows over. Seriously, I used to be hip?! Oh yeah, because spouting fucking memes every few posts is so freakin' hilarious and original!
See you all some other time.

Davies used to be on this forum, then he took an arrow to the ass.
Because in America, we haven't yet figured out how to divorce a politician's private life from his/her public one. Honestly, unless a politician's doing something illegal, I don't think it should matter how many affairs they have.
Let's be honest about Perry's ad. He's desperate and is appealing to theist radical part of the Right Wing. Nothing can embarrass him more than his debate performances.

This is true. It doesn't change the ad into something a half-decent human being could stomach, it doesn't make the central message any less hate speech, and it doesn't make this vitriol any less of a direct violation of YouTube's community policy. None of that makes this OK.
I dunno, is arguing that black's shouldn't be allowed to hold office or serve in the military hate speech? Is it hate speech to say that the black vote or military representation show that "there is something wrong" in the country? Is insulting a military man for the minority group they belong to hate speech? To not only deny them respect for, but actually rail AGAINST their service?

More like Tintin by day and Astro Boy by night.

I used to sing in key.
But then that fateful day,
I took an arrow to the knee.

NOT ENOUGH BUNDLES.
I laughed. Also, that guy sounds like Gaius Baltar, which means he'd be an awesome president...until nearly destroying humanity, of course.

You could play that one for some goofy laughs.

I'm surprised that the people who like it allow computers in the house.
Why did that pokemon quoting, lady-loving chancer Herman Cain drop out? He was a bloody badass!
