    :rofl
    bringing that up again, I see!
    actually, I keep thinking about this idea, and the more I think about it, the more I like it.

    as for what you can say and not say, I like that, but I'd expand it, too:
    *If you couldn't wear it in public in 1950....
    *If it wasn't publicly acceptable...(this is not referencing moral/ethical wrongs - this is along the lines of you don't get away with disrespecting parents/authorities, rampant drug use, etc.)
    *If it looks absolutely illogical/unbelievable.... (not meaning poor SFX, meaning there's no way a sub-compact car can do 180 MPH, jump a truck, ram through a wall, and still keep going)
    ...don't do it!
    I'm sure there are more, but that's off the cuff...

    So, none of this then? [​IMG]

    You've totally latched on to the spirit of my 1950's studio idea. These ideas you have were implied in the "If you couldn't say it" portion of my explanation.

    Ok, so there never was any consensus on the special colour edition of ONS.

    I'm thinking maybe save it for the 4th and do a special holiday post in colour! What do you think?

    Okay, I know this ad is really sexist, but I like the point they're making here... not about the wife's inability to drive, but about how easy/cheap it is to fix a VW Beetle. Do you think carmakers will ever return to this kind of sensibility?

    okay, I'm about ready to upgrade my home desktop to a quad-core AMD....
    the only problem I can see is that I'll also need a new motherboard....and RAM

    I'm mainly interested in ripping my DVDs much more efficiently, rather than taking hours.
    I only have 3 movies on my hard drive for my WDTV, it just takes too frikkin' long!
    my laptop's a dual core, but....ooh, wait, I haven't tried since I upgraded to windows 7...probably won't make a difference, but I gotta try it

    New title, new avatar!

    Here it is embiggened for those of you who care about such things.

    I also decided to put it next to the original just to show off my craftiness!

    It's like a spot the difference game, no?

    great work, Micah!
    if only you could make your pic more, umm, "cartoonish"? that's not the word I'm looking for, but you know what I mean

    Yeah, I worked on that... but it needs something.
    then I remembered it's going to get shrunk down for the avatar, so it's moot anyway.

    now, I don't want to be called "elitist" by "some people" who "hate Gillette products" and "love boar brushes" :happy102 so I think I need to clarify.

    There's a big difference between junk food and garbage. I like junk food. I think it's a necessary part of my diet. After all, Dr. Nick said so so it has to be true. Anyway, I like junk food movies.

    But I hate garbage movies. Think abou it... who really wants to consume garbage? A lot of today's movies straddle the line between junk food and garbage. I haven't seen transformers so I can't say where it falls BUT I have seen Star Wars Ep. 1 and I do hate Jar Jar. Any movie with characters that can be compared to jar jar has a strong possibility of being garbage. They decreased jar jar appearances in the next two films in that trilogy and they were much more garbarific than the first one. So Jar Jar's presence does not garbage make. But his presence can be a strong indicator of the existence of garbage cinema. A visual cue that corresponds to the horrible stench emitted by trash heaps in real life.

    and yes, clips like those must stay. they're definitely junk food.

    and no, HYD is not your private chat room. :p
