    The actor playing Jacob was in Dexter's first season as Paul, the blonde's jailbird husband. I think? Damn. I was traipsing around IMDB for ages to check my guess. Slooow!

    They were building the hatch to control the electromagnetism anyway -- and we know that they will be pouring concrete on the anomoly because of a nuclear leak, which leads me to conclude that it was indeed the nuke that set it off in the first place. What bothers me is exactly what is the Swan for, anyway? If they were building it to test this electromagnetic field then where are the experimental elements in the Hatch? All we know the hatch to be is a button to release the energy that flares up. If they didn't drill into the energy pocket while building the swan that releases flares tehn they wouldn't have needed to build the swan, nor make a button, if you follow me. Or maybe i just missed something real simple :P

    Badlands. In a similar vein to Natural Born Killers and True Romance, only 20 years earlier and without the cinema sheen. Martin Sheen takes a young Sissy Spacek on the run after killing her father, and will tolerate no witnesses to end their love. Terrence Malick is an unbelievable director. He compacts a 140 minute film into 90 minutes, sparing nothing in this terse story. His musical score grows from the xylophone intro that is embedded in the cultural consciousness through gentle guitar ditties and progressing the tension with wafting choral waves that cumulatively build climax after climax. He's made less than half a dozen movies over a career spanning over 4 decades. He is a man of the art, that even directors like Spielberg try to replicate. There are no surprises or twists. All characters, ultimately, act in an inevitable and, in a sense, rational way so the viewer is never surprised -- just gripped, saddled up in the back-seat. Mawesome.

    Smallville Finale Good and bad. Was expecting more of a fight. Lots of "but how will they deal with that" stuff for next season. Shorty told me a little about;

    Yeah, I think ReZ has the trickiest trial ahead, to be fair. Gaggle Vs. ReZ next week shall carve the abyss that moogle, cube and I will be trying to claw our way up. I know Villan isn't worried - but he's going to have a dire defence against me, and I just hope that's enough to scavenge a point.

    to go from 2-0 up to lose 3-2 is ridiculous. Curse this relegation battle! It's doing nasties to me nerves.

    what makes you say that it didn't cause the incident? There was no plane crashing before the bomb went off, was there?

    Up early! Not had much sleep, but need to be alert for the possible arrival of a DHL delivery. Turns out everyone's up so we're gonna plonk on the smallville finale! Then I predict I'll stay up 'til x11 results come out, then grab a nap before Dan Dare comes over tonight for CATAAAAN. We're so cool. As opposed to a random one? :P

    If you fall in love with a first album, then you will almost definitely have your heart broken by the second. If you were lucky enough to 'discover' the band after a coupla albums then good! You'll immediately appreciate that they've come from somewhere and that they're going somewhere else, so you'll be all the more tolerant of it.

    Dante; those answers weren't ever explicit in the show, so I'd consider them spoilers :P Mike; Rose and Bernard! What an odd thing to fling at an audience.It seemed to serve no point but raise a cheer from lostians who're always keen to see an old face. I think the smokey dude takes teh form of bodies that arrive to the island already dead (Eko's brother, christian, and Locke). If smokey has been these guys all along, then I think we are only correct in assuming that it was all part of his loophole in getting Jacob killed. After I finished the episodes I wondered whether we could be completely certain that the new 'baddie' wants jacob dead. This stems from an idea I had about Alpert a few episodes ago, although I don't think it works at all. Basically I figured that if you died in, say, the year 2421, and your body was taken to the island, then if the island was existing in any time period before 2421 then the spirit would be 'reincarnated', and unkillable until the island, too, reaches this year. So I figured that Alpert was maybe killed waaay into the future, and thus does not age, let alone die, until close to his time. Similarly, Jacob and smokey/blackey also actually 'died' a lot later, so they cannot be killed. Of course, this theory has less coherance now that we know a bit more about locke actually being dead and such. Makes us surely question Ben's role in the matter; maybe he always knew of the 'dark side'..? Well, either/any way; this show rocks simply because you can apply the word theory to it. I still have high hopes, and I honestly think it'll be quite tricky for them to fuck up the last season

    have you seen the other two films? I've not seen any of them yet.

    I don't know what you're complaining about, or why you're finding hassle with me. Well I do now, considering I've actually given you a reason, but before? Nope.

    Not done but want to do? Go to a music festival in a foreign country, absail down a cliff face, camp without a permit in the middle of a field. Threesome with dannii minogue and scarlet johanneson. Get a tattoo... Don't see why I can't do all in the same day tbf.

    I know, I'm an ass, but seeing as I corrected one person for the same thing I may as well say it here too; It's 'cue' in this context

    Are you implying I have legal weed left?
  18. jayseven
    I didn't mean you... >_<

    Remember; I could punch you in the face.

    Rez, either you've posted those pics before or you have very similar weekends...

    ^That's irony.

    Bye-bye, thread.

    Mundi; just to let you know, it's 'cue' in that context I hate the english language sometimes... Well I've not really been posting about my own life in here that much. My 'ex' and I have been spending lots of time in each other's company. She bought a tortoise. I don't know what's going on between us but I don't think we can call it anything because we both know she's moving back south soon and I want to stay here. I am now beyond the point of caring about my degree. Taint me now, else forever hold your silence, I say! I am anticipating awkward glimmers in the eyes of those who expected more from me, and slightly smug cheek twitching from those who always doubted me. I AM ALSO OUT OF WEED NOOOOOOOOOO

    With Mass Effect I'd given it a couple of attempts before, so on a third try I really got into it - went to every planet, got way too many ore deposits and so on. With Fallout 3 I had to stop at one point, and I went back to it two months later and was just utterly confused, lost, and distant from teh game. Instead of starting again i just lowered the difficulty :P

    Nobody cared, duh!
