For the record: the doggystyle remark was about "untill you look at the groin area", clearly not about the AIDS.

I'm teaching a course that also covers sexual education this year (next semester), so i'll have my share of stupid/ignorant remarks in a couple of months.

Last time i had to teach it, several girls (17-18 years old) wrote on their exam that the clitoris was inside the uterus ... mmm pretty hard to stimulate it then, unless you have a giant dick of course. Funny coincidence: I just read a comic about horse dicks.

Rummy is currently at the centre of my reasons for reviewing my ideological outlook on politics. I'm drifting away from "Democracy is Nationalism" and more towards "Democracy is Oligarchy".

Nationalism would imply that the chief benefactor is the nation. Oligarchy suggests that it is the few, which very much seemed to be the case with the Bush administration.

Let's hope Obama is a nationalist.

Obama is just more of the same. Nothing has changed. nothing ever changes. Hail to comrade Obama!

Robin Hood (2010):

Watched the first 20 minutes. Utterly boring to the point of being mildly painful.

No out of 5 i'm afraid. I can't find a single thing to credit it for.

Jeez, you're getting worse and worse.

Not even a hot girl? Or one cool action sequence? Nothing at all?

The action sequences are trying to be plausible but failing quite hard. Robin Hood (2010) makes Commando look like the prequel to Saving Private Ryan.

And no hot chicks. Cate Blanchett is Lady Marion. She looks good on the red carpet, but in decadent 12th century attire, she's most definitely negligible.

haha. He's on a downward spiral of !

btw, just to mildly contribute to the thread, there's a PKD movie coming out () and a tv series in production (The man in the high castle).

Mmm interesting, I didn't know that! I can't say I remember reading that short story, but I've read so many of his short stories that I almost certainly must have. As for the series based on the Man in the High Castle...curious how they'll handle that. There's a lot of potential there, for sure, but I found that the tension of the story was in the showing of glimpses of "our" reality. I'm afraid they may turn it into a whole "parallel words travel thriller shooty" thing in a TV series.

My two cents: there's a TV series coming up based on the (amazing) graphic novel zombie epic The Walking Dead. Trailer!




Premieres on halloween apparently. Can't think of any other zombie series out there, so eagerly awaiting this.

yea, I heard about that. I'll watch it. I'm a bit disappointed in the 28 days later wake up in the hospital thing, but otherwise, I'm good for it.

To be fair, the first issue of the graphic novel was published early 2003 while 28 days later came out at the end of 2002 - it's perfectly possible that it's a coincidence.

But I'll be sure to watch it myself. I kinda know the story already though so I hope it's still as entertaining to see it on the screen...one thing I can say, the graphic novels grabbed me by the nuts HARD.

yea, I hear you like that. Derf complains how his hand cramps up.

Yeah, he should practice more.

Aight, enough Hollywood crap. Uganda keeps it real!



They gots Asians there too!
