It may have been. That must have been per-amnesia.

Maybe.jefferoo - are you the guy who was a big fan of drum-n-bass / jungle that I used to talk to all the time during the days when we had a shoutcast set up at WATMM?
I'm a huge jungle head.
I don't remember the shoutcast. Was that like CHATMM?

The show is still fundamentally a soap opera, but its a soap with great acting, great writing, great camera work, great locations and incredible costume design.
Sorry, Jefferoo, but I felt it worth posting one substantive voice of dissent!
Don't apologize to me. Apologize to your soul.

No. It's good.
No, you shouldn't. The show should have ended after its first season, which was "quite good".sounds like season 3 is good. My wife and I dropped off after season 2. Maybe we should pick that shit back up.
Season two and three are laughable for the most part. Bad lols, not good ones. Like facepalming, cringing, etc.
At the beginning of S3, I thought it would fly off the rails. It hasn't.
I was expecting them to just throw Shirley McClaine in every scene to try and make it goofy, but she's hardly in it. The show is still fundamentally a soap opera, but its a soap with great acting, great writing, great camera work, great locations and incredible costume design.

Try watching from the beginning.
Most shows, these days, look like complete trash if you haven't followed all of the story/character arcs from the start.
This is one of those kinda shows.

I just finished the 4th or 5th episode of season 3. Shit just majorly went down. I usually watch with a small group. We were all crying.
-
Ok, I know all of you Brits have already seen all or more of the 3rd season by now...
... but, holy shit.
This show is so good. I was hooked from the start. At time, my confidence has wavered, but the show always wins me back.
If you hate the show or want to troll and talk shit, take it someplace else.
There's nothin but love for the goods in here. Mad respect.
Haters gonna hate.

Saw a new 35mm print of Polanski's "Repulsion" tonight.
It was the first time seeing it for me.
8/10
I thought it was great. C Denueve was incredibly beautiful in it. She was also very good, acting-wise. It's a tough thing to pull off, the whole "decent into madness" thing. I thought she did the right thing by playing it minimally.
My main issue with the film wasn't so much the film itself, but the theater filled with moronic hipster douchebags that laughed uproariously throughout the whole film, as if was a comedy, or some really shitty film that anyone in their right senses would clearly interpret as laughably bad... Which this film was clearly neither.
I went to the movie to take my mind off of getting hit by someone on the street earlier, but the whole laughing thing made me want to stand up and yell at the audience.
I have zero tolerance for cunts.

I just found this the other day at my local record store for $1.99!!!

massive.
FYI, the record plays at 45rpms, but ON RECORD, the shit is at least 20 bpm faster... and that is with the pitch at zero on a Tehnics 1200.
I swear, this must be one of the fastest mastered jungle 12"s of its day.
These youtube clips do not do it justice. The shit is completely mental!

So,
If you read my last post in this thread, you'll see that I was upset about the parent letting their kid crawl around / make animal noises during Lif Of Pi.
Anyway, I got my wife to go in and complain and the theatre gave us 2 free movie vouchers!
So, today we saw, The Impossible, the new movie with Naiomi Watts and Ewan McGregor.
8.8/10
I really enjoyed it.
The story was good. Casting was good. Great sound. Great storytelling.
The movie was suspenseful and had a lot of heart, but was still a bit emotionally manipulative.
Some sappy music and narrative misdirection to get you to cry, but it was still really good.
Some of the camerawork bothered me and I couldn't tell if it was the film or the theater. Some of it just looked a bit video-y and digital. Almost pixelated.
I cried like 6 times.
Highly recommended, especially with family or a loved one. Pretty intense at times tho. Not for little kids.

Just saw Life of Pi.
I really liked it, but right at the end when he's talking to the japanese guys, some idiot parents let their kid crawl on the floor in the movie theater and make animal noises for the last 5 minutes of the film.
I was super fucking pissed. The parents thought it was soo cute that their kid was behaving like a fucking idiot. It made me want to fight them. Especially considering that my wife and I each spent about $20 to see it in 3D... and at a 10pm show! :angry:
Anyway, it kinda killed the movie for me.
Up until then, I was REALLY enjoying the movie... except for the Canadian author character (I think they shouldn't have had as many close-ups and emotional reactions from his character... It wasn't his story and the actor wasn't really that good).
EVERYTHING else was marvelous.
After putting it all in perspective... 9/10

I haven't needed aftershave in many years, but when I did, I liked this...
I want a cool sting with that shit and then have it dry up immediately. I also like the smell.
It firms & tones.

jefferoo kills it.
standing ovation.

You can't believe how angry it makes me that you cant edit the quotes now... for some reason.
I wanted to insert mat and flurobox's quotes between
"Showering is a whole other technique."
and
"For the record, this is the best beard trimmer in the history of the universe..."
BUT I CAN'T!
This is a fucking OUTRAGE.

Any recommended beard trimmers WATMM?
I dig my Norelco G380. Came with all sorts of attachments and adjustables.
(please see below)
Buckle up pals...
I used to shave my face with a razor, but I haven't really done it since high school/college because, when I do, I usually get ingrown hairs that turn into little pimples.
When I stopped shaving, even though I could grow a full face of hair, I couldn't let a beard grow without it itching the fuck out of my face, especially at night. I'm too OCD and it keeps me up. Plus, I love the feeling of a cool pillow on my cheek.
So, for the face, I use a beard trimmer with no attachment. It's never 100% clean. That's just how I roll.
Not to jump out of temporality, but I started losing my hair around 97/98, so ever since about 2000, I've buzzed the hair on my head with clippers like one of these bad boys...
It's a work horse and weighs a couple lbs. I clean and oil the blades periodiaclly. I shave the hair on my dome without an attachment, but with the blades adjusted to their longest setting. This leaves the hair on top just short enough that lint doesn't get caught in it and that it feels soft and fuzzy to the touch, as opposed to bristly. I refuse to shave the dome clean with a razor (I believe it takes a certain personality *Kaen* to rock that look. A lot of the times, dudes that do that just remind me of an erect penis).
The head technique is: I start from the right side of my face at the sideburns, up to where my baldness stops, then work my way all the way round the head, from neck to bald spot (ATG) and so on, overlapping in rows, kinda like you'd mow a lawn. Then I shave diagonally (XTG) and horizontally (HTG), feeling the length with my left hand to make sure I haven't missed spots in the back.
When I'm done chopping the sides and back, I do the top. It's pretty bald, but it has a considerable amount of peach fuzz up there. That, I start ftom the middle of my forehead to the back in a similar fashion to how I do the sides.
I normally buzz the dome once every 7-10 days.
Now back to my face.
I normally shave my face with the beard trimmer twice every 7-10 days. The first time being immediately after the clipping of the dome.
I clean off the clippers with a dye kit brush, like this...
... and switch to one of these...
Without the attachment, it gets pretty close, but not closer than I can tolerate. It's just right. This model is great because it's easy to travel with. For trips longer than 1 week, I can use it with the attchment on #2 (on my head) to get roughly the same length as my clippers, but it takes about 4x longer to do it because the blades and attachment are so small that it fills up with hair and needs to be cleaned as I do it. For the face, that isn't an issue.
The techniqhe for the face with this is most often stating from the bottom of my neck to the sideburn, (ATG) all the way round, from my right to my left. Then, I focus on details like above the ears and under my eyes/above my cheekbones. I often do a few wild HTG/XTG passes too.
When the face is done, I do the back of the neck. This has a trick to it. I feel with my index fingers where the hairline on the back of my neck starts, then I shave from the center->out to the right and then left. once I can feel where I've drawn those lines, I go from bottom to top ATG, then HTG all over that shit.
In the mirror, when looking in profile, I can sometimes see a little fuzz on the side of my neck in the back. I get this stuff by starting at the hairline behind my ears, back and down, diagonally toward that mid point of the hairline in the middle of the back of my neck.
When all is done, it looks pretty sharp.
I then clean of the beard trimmer with the dye brush.
The second time I shave the face in 7-10 days, its basically the same. I also do the back of the neck.
I use the dye brush to sweep all the hairs into the sink in a pile, then I carefully pick it up in a wad with a damp piece of toilet paper and flush it. the straggling hairs, I rinse down the drain.
I'm also OCD about a clean sink, so I do a good job cleaning up.
Same goes with hair on the floor. After trimming my head and face, I am so coverd with hair, I need to shower after. No question.
Showering is a whole other technique.
For the record, this is the best beard trimmer in the history of the universe...
The Panasonic ER389K... R.I.P.
Sadly, Panasonic discontinued it. You can see, the plug is built in at the bottom and is retractable. You just plug the fucker into the wall and you're golden. It's also small and squareish, so it fits perfectly, even in the smallest DOP kit or toiletry case. When the first one I had died, I bought another. Its a great little design. So sad you can't find em anymore. They were a bit difficult to clean, tho.
The one I use now charges with a cord that detaches. It's the next best thing out there. The name is totally douchey tho. I believe it's the Norelco "Perfect Stubble" Trimmer and is marketed to dipshits who want to style the perfect lengths of their stubble. I was embarassed buying mine. The packaging is the worst...
I highly endorse this product, however.
The design is great. It holds charge way longer than the old panasonic one I had, and its easy to clean.
It has a super firm, rubber texture and the attachment extends via the red ring around the middle. Because the ring is rubber, you can tap it clean on the side of the sink without damaging it.
Trust me. I researched the fuck out of these things.

Got me a Double Double (Animal Style) at In N Out today.
Killed it.

People are people. Everyone is different. It could be the right move to just go with your impulses. You never know.
one of my first dates with my now-wife was apartment hunting for her. That day she playfully entertained the thought of us moving into a gorgeous 1bedroom in the West Village together.
It was a nice thought at the time, but both of us knew to hold off and give way to reason. About 6 months in, things got really complicated and we almost broke up. We got past it though. We moved in together after dating for a year.
Now, 10-11 years later, we've been married for over 2 years.
I'm just giving you some perspective.
Who knows what the best move is. She sounds like a really special girl.
I advise to not analyze everything and to enjoy what you have. At the same time, you are in no rush. Unless, you are. In which case, maybe give it a shot.
It's a big world, but it's also really hard to find someone that is a great match, as she sounds to be.
Bottom line, life is short. There's nothing wrong with loving someone with all you have. But it's best to keep your wits.
What do your friends/family think of this girl?
Ive found, in the past, if your friends and family approve, you're on the right track.

Tarantino movies are great. I keep thinking about this one. The characters and performances were all amazing.

6.5/10
The first hour was pretty much a train wreck.
The movie definitely got better as it went along and ended strong.
Despite that, it still had lots of problems and felt a little loose.

Saw "56 Up" the other night.
8/10
I think I liked all of the other ones better.
It's nice to "catch up with" these folks and see how they are doing. Only problem is, the film now has so much ground to cover with exposition of each subject's history, that by the time you've caught up, you're moving on to the next. It gets a bit formulaic feeling. Almost clinical.
Also, I'm kind of sick of Michael Apted throwing in these little digs here and there about certain aspects of the individual subjects' personal situations.
I guess it's to be expected, but I wish he'd just leave out his voice altogether...
especially when he accuses the jockey fella of being a racist. I mean come on! His words and his actions speak for themselves. We can tell he is prejudiced because he talks about how his old neighborhood has changed and that his work is harder because of this large influx of immigrants. Apted doesn't need to pick a fight or put him on the spot to further degrade his character. It's just offensive.
It's also a little offensive how he continually insinuates that the subjects are "failures" or that their lives haven't worked out or that they gave up on their dreams. I guess some form of questioning in that area is par for the course, but he just comes off as an insensitive cunt.
I'd like to slap his nuts every time he says something insulting or degrading. Just fucking leave it out. Leave the story to the statements and the footage of the subjects, with the occasional narration.
