    Escape to the Movies: The Losers

    It's pronounced "gair-ish". Other than that, good review with none of that "oh, look, we have some time left" business (which is fine occasionally, but I saw it being used three times in a row, bad form Moviebob)

    Zero Punctuation: Awards for 2009

    "Racism instead of legs" makes me giggle every time just for the way his vice goes all woobly. I think he might've been saying Bruuuuuuutal Legend too much.

    Escape to the Movies: Avatar

    They sure as hell aren't plants or fungi. They aren't vertebrates, and so can't be used againt your "all animals with a backbone" whatsit, but they are animals. The Na'vi have four limbs because four limbs are easier to animate and from an evolutionary standpoint just get in the way once...

    Escape to the Movies: Avatar

    Yes, it's a message movie, but the message isn't in your face. Believe me, I hate the environment. I wish it would get out of my gullet. I went into the film waiting to be underwhelmed and came out applauding. There are characters, and a story and immersion here. There is also cheese, and "white...

    Thank you. I was getting ready to wince at a pretentious ragging on the unoriginality of the storyline, the frogs that could never have evolved, the heavy-handedness of the message, why they didn't just ask for the "unobtanium" (you missed the one joke) or somesuch nonsense. Instead you...

    What's your verbal crutch?

    You are either a complete tosser or the most awesome man (woman? dawg?) alive. Pray tell me which?

    What's your verbal crutch?

    When I've run out of things to say I just go "meh", "shpleh" or "meauugh". Unfortunately this is usually the cue for a victory dance on the other side of the argument. I also wave my finger and go "Nimnimnimnimnim" to get the other side of the argument's attention while I try and form sentences...

    People assume that the government is being malicious, but it's actually acting as an overprotective parent, trying to stop all the bad things getting to its innocent little offspring. Hence the car seat rule, Jamie Oliver's school dinners and the "If You Don't Have Anything Nice to Say..." rule...

    Inciting hatred is a crime in the UK, and one they would likely be charged with were they let in. And how many people who cite the Big Brother argument have actually read the book?

    I believe "mental disorders" does not exclusively mean depression and bipolar disorder. It includes far more debilitating conditions up to and including an almost total shutdown of the higher functions. Many people with mental disorders are unable to look after themselves and have a very low...

    You didn't mention it, but others have implied it. And thanks, I take pride in my capslocking.

    Poll: Which is a better animal, a cat or a dog?

    Cats. 1) If they lick they don't leave slobber all over you. 2) You can use some of the more docile ones as rather comfy pillows. 3) They make excellent babysitters. Of course, they do think all humans are squishy scratching posts...

    Hatred Through Association.

    It's scary how far-spread this is, and how many groups of women get accused of being "man-haters" before they open their mouths. Case in point: For almost a month I was asked why I had given up on men because I'm bisexual... Yeah, I know, crazy.

    First things first: THIS IS NOT EXILE. These people are being denied the right to enter a country they are not already in, not being kicked out of it. Exile is illegal in the UK, and if any government tries to push through anything that changes this, they will be swiftly reminded that those...
