To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

My ex-colleague's daughter Mia Kirshner is in Defiance. Don't know much else about it.

I've met Mia, but don't know if Defiance is any good.

On set? What show? I've met her a couple times too. Very dainty woman.

Hey, it's the poor's responsibility to get unpoor.

So when asked a serious question, you result to trolling in other threads? :hmm:

There's nothing serious about Languish except for the trolling.  So don't even try.

edit--and Ideologue's movie reviews.

That's right.  Watched Barry Lyndon, am writing a review.  What did I think of it?  It's Stanley Kubrick.  GEE, I WONDER.

Getting The Killing and Killer's Kiss in the mail tomorrow too. :yeah:  All the Mad Maxes came yesterday while I was out of town, but I've gotta go out and watch The Purge. -_-

In other news, my dad has turned me on to projectors.  His home theater set-up is genuinely bad-ass--big fucking screen, great sound--except for his old non-HD projector.  However, the possibilities of an HD projector for myself are pretty obscene--especially if I can get xHamster to work on it. :hmm:

Speaking of Mad Max, the Iowa State Troopers are trading in their Impalas for Chargers.  :lol:

Not a lot of back seat space for passengers.  :hmm:

Barry Lyndon was a tough watch. Yeah, I know it's 100 year war stuff that turns a lot of us on, but overall, I find it one of the weaker of the Kubrick catalogue.

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.

We had to sit through it in Danish class for some reason. I remember liking it, I wonder if I wouldn't like it more watching not an old VHS recording on an old 28" screen.

Barry Lyndon is one of the most beautifully shot movies. It's like a live action art gallery of period paintings that even Ryan O'Neal can't blemish.

I find Barry Lyndon uneven to watch. The first half I simply adore it, all his adventures in Europe, both during the war and afterwards as a Prussian spy and then as a professional gambler and duelist. But when he goes back to Ireland...  :bleeding:
