5 Years of Movies In Your Life
July 22nd 2008, 16:30 CEST by Hugin Just a little exercise. Pick movies from five years in your life, and categorize them. Start with the year you were born. End with '07, since '08 isn't finished yet. Take three years in between, roughly evenly spaced (I mean, you could get precise about it or you could just pick three arbitrary years, so long as you get decent spacing between them). For those five years, go here, scroll down the links on the left side and check the release list for that year. Then pick three movies. 1. The one you think (of the movies listed at least), is historically or academically or culturally the most important or valuable, or aflat quality judgment. 2. Your personal favorite, most fun, guilty pleasure, etc, regardless of importance or quality 3. One you didn't know existed and find interesting, or keep meaning to see but haven't yet, etc. |

This is going to sound really sarcastic (like most everything I say) but is there much work for wingwalkers in Hollywood? It's kind of a niche. "I buy Captain Crunch because I like a man in uniform." - BobJustBob

Concurred. Wingwalking is a niche but that does not illiminate my aircraft from working as a prop or an aerobatic craft or even just something making noise in the background. While wingwalking is what I do , I can also sell myself as a transfer artist, a stunt guy hanging precariously from an airplane in flight or whatever. |

Hilary Swank is hot. "That's not to say that games shouldn't have stories, I just think the story should be the player's story, and find more ways to celebrate and promote that, rather than the game designer's story that you're imposing upon them." - Will Wright

How much money did you make? |

quick! lwf needs to know if he should get that jumpsuit on ebay! Sabrina Poirier, a student at Pensacola who withdrew in 1997, was disciplined for what is known on the campus as "optical intercourse" — staring too intently into the eyes of a member of the opposite sex. This is also referred to as "making eye babies."

I look forward to Death Proof 2: Zoe Bell vs Wingwalker. |

sounds like fun, wing! "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
"LP, your big balls are a religion." - Jibble |

Very cool, wing. On another subject (hey, let's make this the photography thread), this is kind of cool. She took apart common household appliances and arranged their innards on white bristol board. Interesting perspective. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

If I ever make a feature film, I'll have a wingwalking scene just for you. Would you mind wearing a helmet-cam? |
|
I no dust buster anymore! |
|
Hilary Swank is hot. To be fair, I have seen some photos of Hillary Swank where she DOES look hot. But then she smiles, and the illusion is gone. |
|
Wow, that's awesome, wing. Good to see you post again! |
|
Well....only two more gigs to finish and then I hope that I will have more time to visit with you guys and gal. I really miss you crazy peeps. Hilary Swank is very beautiful and she was always smiling. Funny you should mention helmet cams, I'm trying to get a company to sponsor me one. I think it would make for some interesting footage. I got paid enough to keep my team running for another season and I'm pretty happy with that. |

Hilary Swank is very beautiful and she was always smiling. Does not compute. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."

Wilary Skank. If only she had Sarah Jessica Parkers Face on her body... oh wait..STILL NO IMPROVEMENT. Zep-- Save the cheerleader ... Save the world.

Ah, good to see that the Master of Wit still posts from time to time. Invention is the Green Goblin of Necessary Lemonade.

What kind of name is that anyway? Jared Smooth?

To the GoodReaders out there. Are you adding in all of the books you've ever read? Or have you started adding books from when you signed up? Funk. |
|
I'm slowly adding the ones I've read since I started keeping track on my blog. I just copy/paste a few in at a time, including reviews and dates read. Plus all the new stuff I'm reading. I doubt I'll ever go back and try to remember all the stuff I read before that. Also, this morning after coming back from my weekly trip to the library with my 4-year old daughter I also created a goodreads.com profile for her. I'm going to add the books we check out from the library each week just for fun. Also, it allows me to pad out my friends list a bit. blog | photoblog | PlanetCrap Flickr group

I'm thinking of creating one for my daughter just too make it easier to remember what she's read. So when I start telling her about this great series I read as a kid I don't have to get her withering look as she tells me she already read that way back in second grade (a whole 8 weeks ago). And I add written reviews for the stuff I'm currently reading, but just star the books I've read in the past and can remember how much I liked them. |

wingwalker (#1014): I got paid enough to keep my team running for another season and I'm pretty happy with that. Double win. Glad to hear from you and to hear things are going well.

Oh, and you're awesome, wing. :) "the concept that a happy worker is a productive worker is hardly an entry from Matt's Big Book Of Things The Fairies Said." - Dum

I had lunch with Hilary Swank yesterday, and everyone here who dissed her will end up with his/her ears boxed in and then when you fight back she'll fucking bit her tongue off. Yep, live with THAT. |
|
It'd be nice if she wasn't so god damned busted that she'd pass as a boy. Oh, right. Love... biochemically related to consuming large quantities of chocolate.

Bellydance stuff: Video of my third performance ever. I made a couple of mistakes but hey, I'm still new at this public performance thing. I'm performing here with my troupe leader and instructor. My standard note: this is all improv, we didn't choreograph this, except for two things: (1) we agreed we wanted to go into the audience halfway through the last song and bring up dancers; (2) we wanted to do the "drop" in the second song. Other than that, all of the moves in this dance are done on the fly. The person who's in the lead at that moment -- which is whoever is in the frontmost position when we're facing the audience -- cues a move and the followers (in this case only one follower since there's only two of us dancing at this event) have to follow it. When we're facing each other there's no leader and it's anyone's game -- either one of us can cue a move or a change in position at any time. It's what makes this style of dance so much fun, you really have to be on your toes. |

Jerry Reed, RIP. If you grew up on Scooby Doo, Pretty Mary Sunlite is ringing through your head. |

i saw Jerry Reed in concert at Valley Fair in 1987. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

A great voice, and he will be missed. "If you are going to be successful, you have to have veracity and honesty - if you can fake that, you've got it made. Your heart needs to be fully behind what you read. Devote yourself to the service of words and you're halfway there." Silence followed for a brief moment, then the inevitable question, "What's the other half, Don?" "Wait 'til I die." Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

Is that the movie trailer voice over guy? 'Cause he died on Monday. blog | photoblog | PlanetCrap Flickr group
"It was a little hard to tell how bad I was bleeding on account of the salsa" -- Jibble |

In some sort of bizarre irony, I was watching Family Guy while eating dinner last night, and it was one of the episodes where LaFontaine was featured. |
|
Is that irony? "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
"LP, your big balls are a religion." - Jibble |
|
Ask McBain. |
|
Not only is it not irony but I'd say it's even money that it's not even coincidence. |

For all I know it was scheduled to be shown last night before he even got sick. I don't assume that the program directors of the local stations are that smart. |

Is a knife all you need? I'm pretty sure it is. If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

Caryn, that was nice... but in the future, you really need to loosen up a bit more. unless it's a very strict formation with a couple of other bellydancers, going a bit crazy with it is always a plus. anecdotal evidence: there's this semi-arabian girl I know who does - and teaches - bellydancing without anything even resembling an actual belly. she's about a hundred and ten pounds at most (I kid you not), doesn't even look astonishingly good* - but the way she captivates the audience with just her freeform moves is just uncanny. *I'm trying to hunt down actual photos, but that might take a while If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

unless it's a very strict formation with a couple of other bellydancers, going a bit crazy with it is always a plus. Well, actually, it IS a strict formation. Since it's improv dance based around a library of moves, you can't go too crazy or the other dancers won't know what you're about to do. But that said, the more experienced dancers can do formations and changes that look probably less student-like than mine. |

This thread shall henceforth be my Sarah Connor Chronicles blog until further notice. s02e01 was excellent. The addition of Shirley Manson is much appreciated... she's not the greatest actress in the world but all she's required to do for the most part is be a Bond villain, and that's within her scope. Plus that Scottish brogue! The speed of the plot is what I really like about this show, there are big reveals and reversals within every ep, and the body count is satisfyingly high. The final scene is particularly enjoyable. Tides me over nicely until new Heroes! |

#1040 by m0nty This thread shall henceforth be my Sarah Connor Chronicles blog until further notice. Eek! I just started watching the last 5 or so episodes from the first season, which had been sitting on my TiVo all this time. Guess I'd better catch up. blog | photoblog | PlanetCrap Flickr group

Another thing I like a lot about SCC is the mix between emo and macho. The action scenes are shot with a lot of reaction closeups, with what seems like a lot more of the original actors in the action rather than a series like Buffy, where the fight scenes have a lot more stunt people. Maybe that's unfair, but I have been watching Buffy s06 reruns lately so I have a point of reference. Also it helps a lot to shoot the fights on location rather than a sound stage. The emo is very important, nonetheless. There are a lot of meaningful looks exchanged, especially between mother and son, but it hasn't been cliched as yet (though it gets close). The occasional bits where John rebels against his mother are very pleasing in a rite-of-passage sense... hardly unconventional, but powerful in the context of the wider universe. Also, whoever plays the rebel loner in the new 90210 can only hope to have a life like Brian Austin Green has had, punching that quality of kitty into his mid-30s. Lucky bastard. |
|
Also, as an aside, goddamn, Kelly Taylor looks hawt in the new 90210. |

m0nty (#1044): punching that quality of kitty Is this some sort of parochial convict patois? "I buy Captain Crunch because I like a man in uniform." - BobJustBob

No. |

Delightful. "I buy Captain Crunch because I like a man in uniform." - BobJustBob

Oh damn, I wonder If I recorded it. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
"LP, your big balls are a religion." - Jibble |
|
Thankfully torrents record everything. "Braid breaks one of my personal most fundamental rules of games design within minutes of starting - they have timed puzzles."
