Pretty sure my hair hasn't been any bright color for at least 6-7 years now.

[Ideologue]

But you live in District 1!

But you live in District 1!

Every map out there seems to suggest NYC would fall within or very near District 13.

Some things don't wash out.  The stain of having had silly hair colours is one of them.

What happened to the buildings?  That's like saying it's in Gaza but the pyramids aren't there.

I don't think there are any pyramids in Gaza.

So Canada isn't big on science, eh?

They're underwater.

till, don't you think it kinda rings true?  I mean, their society isn't really all that different from our own, except that the divides are not by class but by nationality.  We have ridiculously-dressed people today, whether it's teens with their stupid ear-stretching discs, or garbon with his rainbow-brite hair.

in my experience, those with gaged ears come from the lower classes, either middle or low. not always, but usually. the elite tend to be more conservative fashioned, yet it was the opposite here. they wore clothes and had styles that made no sense. there seemed to be no rhythm to it, just a mess. one could argue that's what they were going for, but it's an aesthetic choice that i don't think fit well. it was too comical, outlandish

[garbon]

I don't know. Later 19th century fashions were pretty outlandish.

[Admiral Yi]

18th century royal court fashion was pretty nutty.

Yeah, but lower-class westerners are still idle rich in a global sense.

Things I've watched lately, some of which I will review:

Byzantium (2013).  Boredom!  Stupidity!  Breasts!  (Spellus, you make a fine point, though someone needs to run her character through about five hundred "rain in Spains.") C

Your scale is fucking weird!
C is supposed to be "average", and you said previously it wasn't "bad".
Byzantium deserves no better than D+, and I'm in a generous mood tonight.

[Eddie Teach]

 

D+ is definitely "bad". Of course, the way Ide grades, a C+ is "bad".

[Josquius]

The  Class of 92- Documentary about the players that came through the early 90s Man Utd youth system. It would make an awsome dramatised film, thought that was what it was going to be when I first heard about it. Shame.
It was actually kind of depressing for some reason. I guess it was that it talked about guys I've never heard of who didn't make it, in the same breath as those who became mega stars.

C is a passing grade. If something isn't bad then it doesn't deserve a D. C is quite thoroughly average.
