@Frank what do you wear when you go out (clubbing/in town)? Cause I always imagine (from what you post) you're the reincarnation of Hepburn/Monroe, or at least have hair like/drive around town in a car like: Yet in the photos of you I've seen I don't recall you (clothes-wise) evoking that feeling. You should embrace it. In a male way. I don't know how one does that though. Maybe you should start smoking with one of those cigarette holder things. [/musing] --- IN the vein of the good stuff thread: I'm on such a high since Friday night - I feel like I finally understand why so many pop/dance songs feature the content they do - I've been missing it until now. I thought I was just strangely uninterested in other people. Right now I feel like locking the door and spinning around and around in circles until I collapse, laughing, onto a brightly-coloured bean bag.

I hate that I know no other languages. So many people at uni with me can speak at least 2. I wasn't very good at them in school at all (C at GCSE French woop) but I still wish I'd somehow...been decent/done a language anyway. There's so little emphasis on language learning here as opposed to like...anywhere else in the universe. It must be something to do with the teaching as well as me just being bad. Like if it was taught differently I wonder if I would've been better at French/more bothered? Maybe not. But yeah, living with an Italian who speaks english fluently, a dutchman who speaks english fluently (and effectively French too) makes me annoyed I don't know anything. I want to, in reaction, become fluent in Scottish Gaelic, just to have something as my own. Even though I could speak to no one I know with it.

Nyyyeyaggh that's better than paying. But I'd rather not go and see it in full another time. YOU DIDN'T SEE THE FILM PROPERLY!!!! [/film student]

How could you pay to see a film you're late for??!

I'm currently living within Rihanna's latest album, the sounds have leaked from the songs and are influencing my life. The Calvin Harris riff in We Found Love is everything to me - I realised the other day I hadn't been clubbing in so long/clubbing enough recently to hear it while out - I finally did last night. I was all like, Don't Stop The Music. I felt like like the Only Girl (In The World). Several people told me how nice I looked (such a random thing to do these days but the best thing to hear when you aren't expecting it - though it may have been because I was dressed relative smartly) and generally my self-esteem is everything right now. Was just getting with the same person (who wasn't just a random, actually a friend of mine I liked too) throughout. I was all like, Where Have You Been, You Da One - really wanna see if u can go dountoun wi a gerl like m'. I'm still drunk but have to be up now to get to Croydon for 9.30 to film some shit for some shit about some Judo shit or some shit. OH and I found out someone on my course was a runner for Rihanna's new video, but he was even grateful, saying like "Oh, I'm not a Rihanna fan, I didn't even know what she looked like.". Roc Me Out, Paj! x [/How Was Your Night? Thread]

The Spidey + JLA ones are way better than the other two.

The Moneyball poster is stunning me. --- So I've been ALL about Lynch recently, as I'm doing an essay on him, so have been diving into books about him, by him etc, and OBVIOUSLY all his films again. I love a lot of his work so this was pleasant. I still ADORE Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet. The former contains one of my favourite scenes in cinema, certainly one of the most powerful (The Club Silencio sequence). I still like Inland Empire, but it's lost some of it's charm (if that's really the right word...). I think Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is an absolute mess with some nice Lynchian moments in it. Something about it just grates. Argh. (Ignoring it's worth or lack thereof as a suitable end/start to the great TV show) The rest are all good fine (but some I need to watch again but the library has lost all the copies *coughlosthighway*), except Dune, which I never finished as it's shit and Lynch agrees. But yeah my Film Context tutor is a Queen of Life and generally awesome and she and I have a telepathic bond over Lynch, so come today's Lynch-focused lecture, tonnes of it was just us chatting/lolling at semi-private Lynch-centric jokes. Then in my tutorial with her afterwards we just talked about our fave/least fave bits. I loved how she stressed the fact I needed to run home and download the Lost Highway soundtrack more than prepare an essay plan for her. <3 Any other Lynch fans? I even watched all his (very intriguing) short early films.

I'm bored. But could be stunning if done properly. Lizard as a character always had a certain pathos/he had a bit more drive and characterisation than most 'I'M AN ANIMAL/HUMAN HYBRID!" villains.

Life Drawing *then* Getting A Drink With Friends *then* Sex Actually though it's that while I was out our heating got fixed, only now it's constantly on the highest setting, and nothing will lower it. As someone who gets headaches from central heating, this is not nice. I refuse to sleep in a boiling house after tonight - I'll go elsewhere, I'm not paying for this shit, regardless.

Yeah but was Pre-Crisis Catwoman. *doesn't explain what this means, despite the fact it means nothing to any non-comic nerd*

I just noticed that...wtf. She doesn't even have high-heels in the comic books, in which women can 'get away with' ridiculous costumes. She's remarkably practical for a comic book character!

My fave song since the other day.

The avatar > the sig. The sig is too 'made it myself'. * *I'm aware of what mine looks like.

It's not like it looks bad, it's just that the idea of Catwoman and Bane, and what we've seen in the pictures seem like a hard sell after the RELATIVE realism of the last two movies and their villains. Though Batman Begins has fear gas and mysteriously reappearing-after-being-presumed-dead warlords. I love Batman & Robin so I don't mind silly/camp Batman, but it would be a shame if there were elements that became unintentionally silly in this one. But I've yet to see a Chris Nolan film where that's the case though.

That's an amazing post.

Hey bitch.

Yeah, our one(s) can do a million fps I think. Why we'd ever need that is beyond me.

I hate that. I heard fans asked the producer/s on twitter and they said a long version would come out but...that's just shit. It makes TTT feel even more *shrug*, like it's just what was done at the time, rather than what is the best she and her team can do.

So a lot of people here will have bought/listened to/stolen her new album - thoughts? I have to say I'm a bit disappointed! Which is a shame. The first few tracks are awesome, and We Found Love is one of the best pop songs this year definitely. The second half the album falls flat for me. It's too samey, VERY filler. Birthday Cake is bizarre...why is it so short, without being complete? It's not like an obviously short song/interlude, it sounds like a normal length track that fades out after she swears in the verse. Cockiness' amusing lyrics don't have the same fun as things like S&M did, either. It's not BAD, but it's not really a step up after the excellent and all-round solid Loud, either. Feels rushed and very slight. Best tracks are You Da One, We Found Love and Where Have You Been. Drunk On Love should be better considering it samples The Xx. And there's a brief moment of a stunning piano jaunt on Farewell that is so much more interesting than the generic beat going through it otherwise. --- Rihanna will have a greatest hits collection to end them all, srsly. Can you imagine? Pon De Replay SOS Unfaithful Break It Off Umbrella Don't Stop The Music Shut Up And Drive Hate That I Love You (ft. Neyo) Take A Bow Disturbia Hard Russian Roulette Te Amo Rude Boy S&M What's My Name? Only Girl (In The World) Cheers (Drink To That) California King Bed We Found Love And that's excluding great songs that weren't big enough hits, like Man Down and Rehab, and all her popular collaborations like Love The Way You Lie.

Doing no research but having a hi-speed camera available to use at uni..I don't think so. I think to do truly super slo-mo, you end up having to go industry level. Maybe I'm wrong.

It's funny how glasses are actually a part of people's faces. When I see my dad without glasses I'm terrified, like never seen his true face before. But my mum, despite wearing glasses most the time, won't have them on to go out/special occasions so I'm used to her real face.

Yeah the general consensus amongst fans/listeners is that Far is her worst. And it is, so yeah. People say Begin To Hope was the beginning of the end (it was), but that has 10x the personality and fun of Far. But everything before Begin To Hope is better.

[11:11 is good too] But yeah Regina is a pale imitation of what she once was. Like a damp...piece of fabric. What happened to songs like Oedipus, Daniel Cowman, Chemo Limo etc? Eet being the highlight of an album is a terrible terrible sign.
