The Larch

Saw two movies this saturday night, as I had some friends over and it was rainy as hell:

- Tropic Thunder: Not as awesome on my 2nd view as when I watchet it for the first time in the cinema. Some parts are still hillarious, though.

6 fake parody trailers that could very well pass for a real movie out of 10.

- The Social Network: There's huge merit in making an interesting movie out of the tale of the foundation of a private company by a bunch of nerds. I guess that a healthy amount of embellishment took place to spice up the story, though.

8 nerds-turned-billionaires that still miss the girl who dumped them back in uni out of 10.

The Devil's Own.

While Harrison Ford never makes a bad movie, and holy shit Treat Williams actually did something since 1941, I truly grow tired of Hollywood's consistent portrayal of the IRA as some sort of terrorist organization.

That reminds me, still I have to pick up my deceased GranCdMa's Irish plate set from Mom's house.  Cloverleafs everywhere, even on the fucking gravy boat.

GranCdMa.  :lol:

You know what'll be hilarious?  Your reaction when Ireland joins the UK in order to sponge money out of England the way Scotland, NI and Wales get to.

Fun fact: there's practically no such thing as an Irish person.  They're almost all English people, a few hundred thousand of whom happen to speak a completely worthless, ugly second language.  There's a few more ten thousand, who speak Gaelic, and they're the equivalent of Amazonian tribesmen, and probably consider glassware to be the products of unknown deities.

That's like saying the US isn't a nation because we speak English instead of Shawnee.  Did the Orange Order ever get the right to march through New York again?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Irish Protestants Marching (Scotch Irish to you colonials)



iirc the American Revolution was referred to as The Presbyterian War by George III.

First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

That doesn't look like New York City.

The Brain

I heard that Keira Knightley gets spanked in the Freudian movie. Does she get psycho-analyzed as well?

Watched the trailer yesterday. Looks intriguing.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
