^ Yeah, I saw that and trotted over to Your Open Book (a website that lets you search everyone's statuses regardless of their security setting) and was suitably depressed: http://youropenbook.org/?q=%22pearl+harbour%22&gender=any Tides have changed a bit, plenty of "WTF" responses to other...

Yes, that's exactly it. Exacerbated, I admit, by writing stuff myself, so I get caught up in technicalities from time to time, but still... I reckon in almost any kind of drama it detracts from that immersive / suspension of disbelief experience. Music can work really well if you're in for a...

OK! I just bang stuff into folders and mostly keep track of things that way. Alphabetical by first letter of artist name "A", "B", "C" etc. for dedicated artist releases, one for "various" that I sort by the compilation name, one for "mixes" by DJ then release name. And under all those...

Current word is still that the reactor itself is intact. Wonder how long it'll take to find out for sure.

No, I should really get back into seeing ... some movies, actually. Big impediment re: genuine realism, I reckon, is just music. God I'm a fucking snob about soundtracks! I really like no-music recent stuff like Gomorrah and Le Class in that regard, although I'd also hate for movies to be...

How do you want to organise it? I mean, do you want just tracks organised by release name and artist, or are you a DJ looking to put similar stuff together, or...? Not being facetious, but to some degree it's hard to suggest something if you don't know what you're aiming to do...

I went to a few films in a bit of a Bresson retrospective they had here (when there were more indie theatres :() and thought Pickpocket was great. One thing that did my head in aged 19 or so was the complete lack of attention to realism when it came to the actual picking of pockets. That's my...

Really interesting reading, actually!

Curious... but also makes me a bit sad! Personal experiences in public service are that responses to this kind of stuff take time and the requests themselves can be completely counter-productive - people trying to call agencies out for not doing something, unaware that they're actually...

The thing I still can't quite get my head around is how full-on all this shit feels vs. how much stuff like the quake in Haiti, let alone the floods in Pakistan are in pretty much any terms you like to think of... I don't mean this to downplay the Christchurch quake - quite the opposite really...

Grabbed the samples ages back, might have a go at something... Will let you know if I do... might be too soft and friendly-sounding if I do. :)

Yeah, the only bod I knew of on here who was down South was the guy who kept getting banned - Hell Science or whatever. I was DJing last night - bloody hard to know what to play when everyone's so fucking low low low. Mind you, fretting over selections certainly seemed pretty inconsequential...

The arc with Roast Beef developing greeting cards is one of my fave things ever. "How sick is it to get a card from a dude? Sick as hell."

Yeah, better comic (as in funny) writing than any TV show or movie I've seen in the last decade, I'd say. I loved the thing, ranted obsessively at friends etc. for years, but stopped reading about 6 months ago. Just got less and less frequent and when a new strip arrived I didn't find it very...

Kicks on 1 and 3, snares on 2 and 4 became a huge thing in hip-hop beats over the past decade-ish, though. Just with heaps of shuffle, I guess. And frankly nothing like the same feel as those breaks tunes. I know it's a totally trainspotter call, but it always did my head in how much of the...

That scene where the little girl is singing while her and her brother float downstream is total fairy tale action. It's got a whole bunch of woodland animals appearing, as if attracted by her song, ffs. It's awesome.

It's called the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy - a guy claims he's the best shot in the state, shoots a whole lot of holes in a barn, then paints a bullseye where the shots are most tightly clustered. "See, told you so." Sort of like confirmation bias (where you see amazing "coincidences") but...

Not very funny, but persistently missing the mark:

Sooo great. :D
