"You saw those children, didn't you? Every one is a victim of a war somewhere of the world. And they'll make fine soldiers in the next war. Start a war, for its flames, create victims... Then save them, train them... And feed them back onto the battlefield. It's a perfectly logical system. In this world of ours, conflict never ends. And neither does our purpose... our raisond'etre."

No. One second you're here, the next you aren't. You never see it coming, and never know it happened. That's what the ending to the Sopranos represents.
See, this is what getting a PhD is all about. You learn more and more about less and less until you know everything there is to know about absolutely nothing at all and become an indeterminate form.
I can't. Not drunk enough, and too tired to drink more. Not as depressed as I'd usually be by this stage, I guess the plan of moving to London and attempting university there is good.
There are still personal issues that bother me but I'm hoping that they can be sorted in London too. I mean there's enough people there, I should be able to find at least one person who would...help me...where needed.

I hope things do improve once you move to London. It should be a great opportunity to have a fresh start. I wish you all the best of luck with it, Biggins.

Nowt wrong with that, mate. It's certainly not my cup of tea but that's opinions for you. The studio audience for that show will laugh at anything though!
Me too (and I watched it with my mom, and the final gag still made her laugh out loud). The only thing that taking away the audience laughter does is screw up the pacing. But that's to be expected, since the cast can't be expected talk over the audience.

Most studio audiences will, even when it's inappropriate (the Michael Richards apology on The Late Show with David Letterman is a good example of this).

You're right. However, it's the fanboys (and girls) that ruin long running sitcoms. 'Red Dwarf X' suffered from the same thing; audience members whooping and hollering at every joke (even if said "joke" was about as funny as cancer). When you watch the first series of 'Red Dwarf', the audience are barely laughing unless a joke truly earns it and yet 'Red Dwarf I' is 20 times funnier than 'Red Dwarf X'. That's because one audience consists of indifferent and impartial people, whilst the other is made up of rabid fans who are pissing themselves with excitement just to be there.
I wish there was a way to stop fanboys from attending recordings of their favourite sitcoms. Get a bunch of people who are only vaguely aware of the show and make the writers and cast work for those laughs.
Regarding Michael Richards on The Late Show. The audience were laughing because Micheal's apology came across as obvious and insincere damage control. They were right to laugh.

Yeah. I enjoy the show still, but the audience really annoys me sometimes on when they laugh. "What are you doing?" "Playing Super Mario" honestly got a laugh at one point.

I agree, except for the cast part. As an actor, you're invigorated by interaction of the studio audience, so in a sitcom, laughter will actually get a better performance out of a good actor. I definitely think the writers get off easy though, since they know that weak jokes will still get laughs.

I think you're overestimating the studio audience a bit here.
big bang theory is only just about 20 minutes long each episode, i appreciate it for what it is, and that is a short sitcom with surface level references to pop culture and science with quirky characters that share traits (even if they are exaggerated because it's a comedy) with myself and people i know
i would say red dwarf has way more depth to its writing and themes, but one factor of that would probably be the length as each episode is actually 30 minutes, not amazingly longer but it makes a difference and the writers intended to go into some deeper sci-fi plots while still being a comedy, but generally the plots of big bang theory are about how bad intelligent people are at normal things like relationships and human interaction ho ho ho (i kind of have to ignore that angle to enjoy it) and how the not so intelligent people ie. the blonde girls (which is not just me saying that, it is stated and reinforced many times) are adept at the normal thing in life (now i have to try and ignore that angle even more, damn it i am ruining it by analysing it)

One of my favourite games! I've got an epic high score on 'Marble Madness' (MAME); 129,000 - which according to Twin Galaxies is actually the 3rd ever highest recorded score!
Me too. Now I feel ashamed.

The question is whether an individual realizes they die known nothing as well.
What the f- not sure if mind-shattering or amazing.
Ah, come on. Give us all a good laugh!

Just to let you and puzzlebox know, all living creatures have inherent knowledge to a certain extent. You are born with knowledge.

Cheers mate!
You should've done the screenplay for Casablanca.
Just as long as they're not chocolate covered pretzels.
Oh my god I LOVE those things and now I want some.
I still like it.

My point exactly. It's preposterous.

Don't watch Mallrats then, it may put you off them.

I've watched Clerks and Dogma. I think I've gotten the full Kevin Smith experience at this point.
