Confessions of a Window Cleaner- So famous/infamous but I'd never actually seen it. Not quite what I expected. Instead of a man about town the main character is actually rather an innocent who inexplicably attractive women inexplicably throw themselves at.
What is disturbing/amusing is the way many of the women quite obviously talk like old ladies. Its more than just using outdated language, its their intonation and everything. Interesting stuff how language has changed. And yes. That is an odd thing to take away.

Watched that Miley Cyrus video Wrecking Ball to see what all the hoopla was about and why Sinead o'connor got her boxers in a knot over it.

It was pretty hot. :) Playboy hot kind of thing.

It's pretty watchable with the sound turned off.

Maybe she thinks Miley's retarded hair cut is mocking her.

Watched a bit of Mean Girls last night.  Quite intelligent for a teen movie.

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.

Malthus, it's Psellus.  He's not going to dignify that with a response, not until you admit his name is Kurash, and write it in Old Persian cuneiform.  He may accept the name rendered in Aramaic script, if you're lucky.

Given how off base your understanding of English often is it's hard to take serious your analysis of a foreign language.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
