    at first i thought you had, from all the laughing smileys, but the next sentence confused me so i thought i'd make sure :D

    good for her :D i hope she does :D i thought it might be but i wasn't sure, so i decided to leave it! i'd forgotten it in my name is mac... - it's not a bad track record really but i wish it was zero:lol:

    special effects clips

    ^ the party scenes are fine to an extent, although they should be a bit shorter. it's the lack of equality that really gets to me. why should it always be the women that are placed in sex object roles? and yeah, laroquette was criminally underused. i'd forgotten the slomo - ergh, yeah, that...

    What Books Are You Reading?-#3

    Re: What Are You Reading?-#3 ^ ooh that sounds totally up my street :) *goes to kindle store* i'm reading the torture garden by mirbeau in french for uni and a book about prostitution & brothels in chicago in 1900-ish. so basically it's all brothels, S&M, kinky stuff going on in my head at...

    special effects clips

    indeed, it's mallet central! but i think they need to realise that from the start viewers haven't been stupid, we never needed this many reminders in s1, why do we need them now? it hurts the show on the face of it and treating the audience like morons will not help! agreed, they either need...

    ^ did you mean to put "redundant" and "frustrating" the other way around in that sentence?

    Grade 'Party Down'

    me too! this is exactly what i meant when i posted that thread earlier tonight about sfx clips. it was so annoying in last night's ep and it's been getting worse for a while, and as someone pointed out, i suspect this is why: totally agree... also with this: oh another note i made, that i...

    i was going to mention this in the party down thread but i think it's more widespread. is it just me or in the last season or two has the use of special effects cutaways, montages and so on got more and more elaborate and annoying? i know we've always had montages and that's fine, it gives us...

    Grade 'Party Down'

    i wrote a few thoughts as i watched it, at least one of which has been mentioned already. tough! 1: ooh look, it's another opening in a club full of scantily dressed women getting sexay, obviously we can't show the men can we because we need to titillate to gain viewers...

    oh, don't get me wrong, i love russia, it's a fantastic place, although politically somewhat strange (in this respect it's very similar to its old rival, the us). i think belarus is quite worrying at the moment but then it's not the only place on earth that throws the opposition in jail...

    World Politics

    i don't really see the problem in releasing prisoners, it depends on what kind they are and i'm pretty sure it's unlikely they're the violent kind. both our nations have vastly overcrowded prisons because, frankly, we keep putting people in there that don't belong there. people who lie on...

    i don't know what'll happen but i think america are too quick to get involved. the problem is nations are supposed to have sovereignty and that sovereignty isn't supposed to be interfered with by other nations unless there is a threat of war or there's previous invitation etc. what happens...

    ^ yeah that really is bad, it makes me sad & angry in equal measure, and if it goes through it'll be a massive step backwards. some crazy stuff going down in egypt too, in the wake of tunisia. wonder if this is the beginning of the end for several mid-eastern regimes...

    The Rant and I Cannot Say This Out Loud #3

    more of a moan than a rant but hey. i can't wait to see the doc this afternoon. almost 3 weeks of swollen & painful glands (and discovering there are places you really don't want sore and swollen glands!), temperature and general crappiness i have to get it sorted! if it's toxoplasmosis again i...

    Who is your least favorite character?

    Re: Who is your most unfavorite character? these i definitely agree with. i think the issue with saying "i feel" or whatever in these posts is that, well, we're already assumed to be writing our own opinions - this is a discussion forum and in discussion that's generally the assumption. if it...
