So, it finally got deleted... Very nice and mature to report an innocent OT thread, because of personal reasons. Also a friendly way to welcome a hopefully prosperous 2017. Because honestly, 2016 sucked - in many ways.
But despite that, I will post Cleese's letter once again, only because it's still funny, and it's well worth the read. Don't post anything, if that is what upset you. Just read, and enjoy it - or not.
John Cleese's Letter to the USA
To the citizens of the United States of America, in light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II resumes monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy.
Your new prime minister (The Right Honourable Tony Blair, MP for the 97.8% of you who have, until now, been unaware there's a world outside your borders) will appoint a Minister for America. Congress and the Senate are disbanded. A questionnaire circulated next year will determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid your transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. Look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Check "aluminium" in the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you pronounce it. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'favour' and 'neighbour'. Likewise you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters. Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary."
Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up "interspersed." There will be no more 'bleeps' in the Jerry Springer show. If you're not old enough to cope with bad language then you should not have chat shows.
2. There is no such thing as "U.S. English." We'll let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u'.
3. You should learn to distinguish English and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard. English accents are not limited to cockney, upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier). Scottish dramas such as 'Taggart' will no longer be broadcast with subtitles.You must learn that there is no such place as Devonshire in England. The name of the county is "Devon." If you persist in calling it Devonshire, all American States will become "shires" e.g. Texasshire Floridashire, Louisianashire.
4. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1.
5. You should stop playing American "football." There's only one kind of football. What you call American "football" is not a very good game. The 2.1% of you aware there is a world outside your borders may have noticed no one else plays "American" football. You should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls.
Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies).
You should stop playing baseball. It's not reasonable to host an event called the 'World Series' for a game which is not played outside of America. Instead of baseball, you will be allowed to play a girls' game called "rounders," which is baseball without fancy team stripe, oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs.
6. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns, or anything more dangerous in public than a vegetable peeler. Because you are not sensible enough to handle potentially dangerous items, you need a permit to carry a vegetable peeler.
7. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday. It will be called "Indecisive Day."
8. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean. All road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left. At the same time, you will go metric without the benefit of conversion tables. Roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.
9. Learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips. Fries aren't French, they're Belgian though 97.8% of you (including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe) are not aware of a country called Belgium. Potato chips are properly called "crisps." Real chips are thick cut and fried in animal fat. The traditional accompaniment to chips is beer which should be served warm and flat.
10. The cold tasteless stuff you call beer is actually lager. Only proper British Bitter will be referred to as "beer." Substances once known as "American Beer" will henceforth be referred to as "Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine," except for the product of the American Budweiser company which will be called "Weak Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine." This will allow true Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in Pilsen, Czech Republic) to be sold without risk of confusion.
11. The UK will harmonise petrol prices (or "Gasoline," as you will be permitted to keep calling it) for those of the former USA, adopting UK petrol prices (roughly $6/US gallon, get used to it).
12. Learn to resolve personal issues without guns, lawyers or therapists. That you need many lawyers and therapists shows you're not adult enough to be independent. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.
13. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.
14. Tax collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776).
Thank you for your co-operation.

And here it goes. Now that Dazed and Utterly Confused bitch will whine an moan for another half a century. Oh, wait, she won't cause now she's "going away".
Beja's thread got deleted,annoying as I'd just sent you and Beja a reply,did you see it BTW?
I was saying that the Covenant trailer seemed to be going more for the feel of Alien.
So someone had a little tantrum,someone already in this thread, someone that isn't you,Beja or myself.I think the thread had been reported previously as Beja said she'd had the red warning.
Anyway if we ever needed to summon the spirit of SBD it is now,we have about 240 posts to recreate 😧

So someone had a little tantrum,someone already in this thread,
Given that only I, you and the other chap is posting here - and you talking directly to him - you are affirming that that "someone" was me.
So, be so kind [yeah, I know, it's tough for you] and post any proof of any of that?
PS: "tantrum" is what you are known for, sugar.
PS2: It's also hilarious that as soon as I replied to your "friend" the whole thread got deleted. it seems that "someone" didn't like my reply .
And what better cowardly way out of having something removed from your own thread than to ask for a certain "friend" to report the whole thing [a "friend" who most likely has some sock accounts [IMDb member since February 2016] given that that "friend" is also known for her "I'm-gonna-quit-IMDB-forever-but-you-all-know-I'll-be-right-back-after-I-take-my-medication-tantrums" and her hate for me is legendary [yes, you also need a hobby don't you]] than to report the reply by herself and not let anyone see that she did it.
After all, it was shown in that Thread that Beja been following me around [yes, anal retentiveness will make you do those things as it seems], and given myt reply she wasn't very happy that I invited her to grow a pair and come face me once and for all, instead of throwing mud balls at the screen hoping for your SJW card to be played.
Makes much more sense that you both would do such a thing, given your well known backstory, huh?
PS3: It's good to know I live under both of your skin.
Well, what can I say? If not yesterday, most certainly today. Jeez, once again I sprayed my screen with coffee. Speaking of tantrums, oh well.
I never knew that you and I were in disguised with the plenty of socks both you and I have. As if it wasn't enough with one account here, haha. I was polite and I wasn't rude, and I definitely didn't report his post, I replied to it, ffs. I still got it in Word, since I've saved my last posts because of a laptop crash last week, while writing a looong PM, which is sooo irritating, so just for safety. So maybe I'll re-post it.
But right now I just have to breathe some air and have me something to eat, jeez... ✌
Yes I saw your reply,you said you didn't hate him, you explained what you meant and wished him a happy Christmas.
Don't worry about it, you know he's quite volatile and aggressive. He gets worked up over nothing...literally in this case!
Anyway I don't think I've ever asked you which you preferred Alien or Aliens? I seem to remember that in your lost thread you mention enjoying Alien more.
I think I have to say Alien wins in terms of sheer horror.However I did throughly enjoy Aliens and Alien3,although it wasn't so popular amongst fans I know.
What did you think of Alien4 if you've seen it? Personally I'm not a fan of Winona,she's spoiled several movies for me with mediocre acting.
I think it's quite difficult to come up with innovative ideas in terms of horror as modern audiences are quite inured to it,and yet we spoke of Tod Brownings freaks which I found quite horrific.The idea of wreaking such a terrible revenge on someone..well I wonder how these ideas come about!
Which leads me back to what I was saying to OddsareIamright which was that Ridley seems to be taking the film back to the more traditional Alien world of action/horror.Will it be enough for Alien fans?I hope its not just a rehash of Alien and I hope there is something new and exciting.
You said you'll miss Noomi and I wonder if we will find out what becomes of Shaw.I hope so and I think that was a big complaint about Alien 3 was that Newt and Hicks after surviving the end of Aliens didn't feature in A3 except for their characters being mentioned.
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
I'm not worried, I really don't care. And the "to grow a pair and come face me once and for all"... Grow a pair of what, pubic hair? His paranoia? I don't think so. It's all in his head, and I can't, or won't help him out with that issue. He better see someone about it.
I've always preferred Alien, in so many ways. I did enjoy Aliens though, but I recall and I think I've said this before, that Cameron was marketing Aliens as a "war film", I have a photo somewhere of a poster when it went up in the theatres here. And compared to Alien, it was. And the 80s was the decade of war films, because at the same time there were so many more films, such as Platoon, Full Metal Jacket and Das Boot, to mention a few. And I'm not a war films fan exactly, even though those films are fantastic, all of them.
I have seen both Aliens 3 and 4, but this is something I know I've mentioned on the board. We weren't suppose to see any film at all, we were out eating (mostly drinking) and then, hey, why don't we see Alien 3, mildly sober. And I never drink when I'm going to watch a film in a theatre. So I can't say I recall that much, more than I didn't like it. Maybe I snoozed off a bit, haha. And Alien4, that's the Resurrection, right? That's even worse... I was at a party, someone turned on the TV and when they brought Ripley back to life by cloning her, well I guess I took a few drinks more and fell asleep. Seriously, I can't even remember that Winona Ryder was in it, ha. Though I loved her in Black Swan.
I'm more into horror now, if it's good horror. I liked It Follows (2014) very much. But the gore and the bang bang orangutang, nah, that's not for me.
You're absolutely right, it really is difficult to come up with new ideas in terms of horror, especially for young(er) people who spend their nights playing Halo or W&W. I'm certain though, that I'd like Browning's Freaks much more than any of the stuff that's out there. At least it had a message, a (sense) moral, and a meaning. But what's so meaningful with showing a hell of a lot of pink mist?
Jeez, I have no idea what's going on in Ridley's head, seriously. First he's dead serious about the meaning of life and blah blah, which is good, treated the right way. And I still think the intentions at least, was really good with Prometeus. And it STILL has a 72% at rottentomatoes, that's not going to change, no matter how loud the people on this board are screaming. He ought to know that, and not be frightened into something which seems to be out of his control, or? What do you think? He obviously have taken impressions from among others, this board. Still wouldn't surprise me if the SirRidleyScott account was himself, or an assistant.
But why does he seem to have abandoned Prometheus fundamental story? What do you think, cowardice? Can hardly be about money. Because no matter how A: C is going to be received, there's always going to be someone who isn't pleased. It's like 2 camps now, more than ever. If it's enough? I really don't know, but it sure doesn't feel like it. A trailer of two minutes, and most of it is gore? I love the sequence, and I actually think it's David sitting on some sort of kingdomly (that's not a word, is it?) throne. More of that, please.
Because, where are the tight tensions, where is the fear of a life outside the Earth's atmosphere? What does it mean if it reveals what is beyond our comprehension? And what comes after that? Surprise us. Even if this is a sci-fi film, and he's aiming to just scare the crap out of people, well, then I think he will fail, because it is as you say very difficult to scare people nowadays, and that's not what we Alien fans want to see. We want the fundamental fear, the fear of having no control. That, is scary.
Oh Noomi, poor Noomi. I just read a post on her board, about Scott doing her a huge disservice when it comes down to it. Her career isn't what it should be and there's a lot of people who actually want to know what happened with especially Shaw, and David. And I'm one of those. And not only because it's Noomi, I'm interested in the Shaw character. Do we need yet another Ripley, seriously? If there's been weeks of shooting in Australia and it all boils down to a cameo, yes, I will be very disappointed. How do you feel about it?
Ha ha! So you've seen 3 and 4 but under the influence! I watched Easy Rider and Midnight Cowboy (not as the same time) whilst inebriated and it was quite an experience! I remember feeling quite ill at one point
If it does turn out that AC will be more like Alien then I feel Ridley must be aware of the criticism levelled at Prometheus and is trying to fix those "errors" to satisfy the unhappy portion of his audience.That does,unfortunately,leave the people who enjoyed the different direction he took Prometheus in without resolution.But let's hope that he manages to please both camps...I seriously doubt he will but you never know.
Like you I enjoyed the brief appearance of David and yes more of that would be great.
I think,yes,it may be some sort of cowardice that makes him go back to the root of Alien.He wants a critical success of course,I mean he's guaranteed bums on seats too.
I haven't seen It follows,I must give of a go.
I think it is important to find out what happens with the Shaw character,it seemed important that she survived against the odds.It was very much her story and I think there was more to explore.Someone on this board had a theory that she and David would fall in love I think,who knows maybe that happened!
It all remains to be seen and I imagine Ridley will probably release more teasers at some point.
Yes enough of the Ripley running round in a tight vest type stuff,it was great in Aliens but that's enough of women in their underwear!
I meant to ask if you have seen Moon? I loved it and could watch Sam Rockwell till the cows come home!
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
Nah! Watching Midnight Cowboy drunk, is almost the same as a really bad tequila hangover! Oh, so so sad when thinking about Hoffman, ugh. Easy Rider, that's more appropriate, kind of goes with the theme. It was such a long time ago I saw it. But seriously, when they cloned Ripley, I still remember (through thee hazes) that we all screamed!
Yes, Ridley is definitely going for the Alien theme, and that's not what he said initially. This man has changed his mind so many times, I've lost count. Irritating. But you can't please them all. Fingers crossed, that each of us get our piece of the cake.
Yes, I kind of liked when the trailer slowed down, and actually hinted something to look forward to, I'm intrigued. And I really like the score, I hope they'll keep it.
But just don't mess it up, as some kind of compensation to disappointed fans with a lot of gore, machine guns and pink mist and whatnot. Puhlease...! His Alien wasn't about that, Cameron's was.
I know, Shaw's story was more or less set in stone. I mean, the sequel was planned with both Fassbender and Noomi's names, basically from start. And then it suddenly disappeared?! I mean, what did he think? I think it's a cowardly move, and if he, in any way, has contributed to that Noomi's career has been disadvantaged in the film industry, (as it seems) he's more than a coward.
And what does Kaskait say? 🎶 "Shaw and David, sitting in a tree..." I was almost rooting for them too!
We've got an extra offer of free viewing of Viasat films for two weeks over Christmas, and I've recorded both The Danish Girl and Steve Jobs. And how lucky am I, at 22.00, there's a film called “The Seventh Dwarf”, that can't be bad! Okay, maybe not so lucky, when checking it has a rating of 4,7... yay!
If memory serves I think SBD really liked Alien resurrection? It was very silly but there were some moments of pure horror. I'd forgotten Black Swan,only saw it once.I think the film belonged to Natalie Portman,but I suppose Winona was okay as the ageing dancer.
I must rewatch the trailer I have to be honest I didn't take much notice of the score.I did love the Prometheus score,that is another thing Ridley does well.He marries music to visuals beautifully.
Ah yes it was Kaskait who said the next film would be the love story of David and Elizabeth.Her reasons were alchemy related I think? It'll be interesting to see if she's right...she was very Shaw!
I meant to tell you we have a new season of Fortitude coming next week finally,I can't wait to see where they take it.Sophie is in it I think and Dennis Quaid! Quite random and the brother of cousin Eddie!
So you got your Viasat for two weeks and I got boxsets on sky for a month.I can't find much I want to watch though!
Let me know how The Seventh Dwarf pans out.
New Years Eve tomorrow,what will you do? I'm off to the market for veggies, then lunch because the babies mean my daughter will be in bed early! A big night walk,champs and bed for me.
If we don't speak before,Happy New Year. I wish you a happy and healthy one. Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
Yes, Shattered liked Alien resurrection. It has the lowest rating of all the Alien films in the franchise. I'm sure there are things to like, if that's your taste, and as said many times, you're more into horror than I am. Maybe I will rewatch when I'm sober, might be a good idea, ha.
I actually really liked Black Swan, though I'm not an especially fan of neither Portman nor Aronofsky, but Vincent Cassel and especially Ryder were amazing. Yes, Ryder played the ageing dancer and the little screen time she had, she was really good. But it's Portman's role for sure. The Wrestler is another I really liked, Noa was kind of... meh.
Nah, loved the score, and I honestly can't recall what score Prometheus had. But Ridley is good with scores, even though I rewatched The Martian the other day, and suddenly ABBA and Waterloo popped up, which was kind of... huh? I think that's what got him the GG!
Oh yes, the Alchemy theory, which I actually think she's somewhat right with. Yes, you're right, Ridley has a good eye to Alchemy, so why not? Haha, yes, Kaskait was very Shaw, that's what she chose to believe, and she might not be wrong, just like Shaw.
I tried Fortitude when it first was aired, but despite Gråbøl, whom I love, it didn't get a hold on me. But at least you've got something to look forward to. Especially Randy Quaid! The funny thing is, just a couple of hours after we spoke about Cousin Eddie, I turned on the TV and there he was, in a mall with Chase, and he was soo annoying!
I didn't watch The Seven Dwarf, haha! I didn't even record it. But I did see The Danish Girl, and I really don't know what to think. Have you seen it? I liked Alicia's performance, she was okay. But Redmayne, not sure what it was, some kind of overplay. And yet the performance got him a Oscar nom for Leading Role. It's a sad story, but if felt rushed. That film would've been so much better as a series, so the transgender issue had been more explored.
Today I won't do anything, having dinner with my ex. We had this great gang of 12-15 people who've celebrated New Year for almost 20 years. Last year, the couple who always hosted it, are now divorced, ugh. So there won't be anything, since people are taking sides, I try not to. But I won't spend New Years eve, talking about it.
But I hope your New Year will be great. Likewise, I wish you a happy and healthy one, with veggies and all! 🎆 🍸🍸 🎆
Well I don't mind Alien Resurrection but as I said it's silly!I do like to watch and sometimes own all the films in a collection,even if I think they're not all equally good.I've even watched the Alien vs Predator films,I barely remember them but I've done it ha ha!
You dont remember the Prometheus score? I think this scene is rather beautiful visually and musically https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1EeYB8Aog0 I think my favourite Ridley film score is the Hannibal score which is amazing.
A shame you didn't like Fortitude,but it was a slow burner so I can understand that.I liked the setting and the slowly creeping mystery/horror of never knowing if the horror was surreal,natural or just humans being bad!
Yes I saw Christmas Vacation,my Christmas would not be complete without it! My favourite line is this- Clark to Eddie " Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?"
No I haven't seen The Danish Girl,I don't really know anything about it.Eddie Redmayne does seem to be the flavour of the month doesn't he but I'm fairly sure I've not seen him in anything.
Oh dear always awkward when a couple split, everyone tends to have an opinion and yet nobody really knows the truth,I think you made the right decision.I hope you had a nice evening with the ex anyway.
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
Ha! I guess I have to watch Alien Resurrection again and this time sober! And I get that it's silly and I guess it's just to enjoy the silliness, instead of seeing the bad stuff, which I actually think it is. I haven't seen any of the Alien vs Predator, so I really can't say.
Thanks for posting the link, and of course I remember the Prometheus score, when listening to the clip! Jeez, how could I forget? This is a visually stunning scene, and I agree that it's a beautiful score. It breathes a kind of hope, which in a blink of an eye just... disappears. But last night I read BB's reply in the "Biggest Eye Roll Moment" thread, and this is something which I think is interesting, I didn't even notice it when watching Prometheus;
Look closely. David's head is lying on the floor. Right in front of his head is the top of his suit. For every word that David says, the light on his suit blinks. When he pauses speaking the light does not blink. Why? To me it means that David and his suit are connected wirelessly. That allows David to speak to Shaw over long distances but it could allow him to know other things imo.
Did you notice this? It must be a clip of it somewhere, I'll check it, because it does make sense. If not for anything else than it's sci-fi... and kind of cool, wouldn't you say?
I haven't seen Ridley's Hannibal, I've only watched years ago, something you linked, of a score in a church? Which was really beautiful, and of course one of your favourites.
I might give Fortitude another chance, because besides Sofie, I have a very soft spot for Stanley Tucci, the supporting actor incarnated. He's good in everything he does. Is he still alive?
Haha, so you did watch Christmas Vacation, and the quote is hilarious! Such an annoying character, the clip with him in his undies and just a hat – in a mall – was mildly spoken odd.
Yes, Eddie Redmayne seems to be the flavour of the month, and they've showed The Theory of Everything, the Stephen Hawking film, but I haven't seen it, although it looks like he's doing a good job. And he got an Oscar for the role, for what it's worth. And as said, I liked Alicia's performance, but she didn't blow me away exactly. But Redmayne wasn't really that good, but it's definitely worth watching.
Yeah, the couple split, it's all so odd. She's the one who really wanted out and they lived more or less as only friends the last years. But he's a man who can't be alone for one second, I think he's always been in a relationship as long as I've known him. So of course he had a new one within days... or, obviously before that. But my evening with my ex was very nice.
PS. Thanks for speaking your mind, I really appreciate it
reply share
I read almost everything BB posts on this board,he is without doubt the best kind of poster.He always provides a thorough and rational reply and all done very respectfully.Offering to agree to disagree when he feels an impasse has been reached.I admire him immensely as I know you do too.
He must drive the less rational posters here insane because he never rises to their bait!
But yes I did read that in his responses about the wireless link connection with David and his suit.It was very interesting and no I'd never noticed it myself,very clever.Its almost as if Ridley knew there would be nit pickers!
I sometimes feel that the harsh critics (as BB kindly puts it) have never seen a Sci Fi or have no idea what fiction means let alone suspending disbelief.It's as if they think they're watching a documentary.
I can imagine some of them (the more literate ones) have fired off the odd angry email to Ridley Scott at 1 am for ruining their lives with his audacious film!
Stanley Tucci was outstanding in Fortitude, it was almost as of his character was full of fortitude. I like him as an actor too and as far as I know he survived the great celeb death cult 2016😞
I remember a couple I knew split but didn't tell anyone so the first clue was a Christmas card from her,the new lover and their children with a new address followed by a sad card from the husband on his own.Oh dear!
PS. Thanks for speaking your mind, I really appreciate it
You're welcome😘
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
I read almost everything BB posts on this board too! You're right, he's soo admirable for never raises to the haters bait, but instead provides his thoughts about things and always, as you say, something to really think about, and says stop respectfully, when he senses that he can't get any further in a discussion. Or when some loon even is going as far as name calling. I'm a fan too!
The thing about David's suit... seriously, I don't think I've heard anyone even talk about it. And just as you said, and I've said it so many times, this is sci-fi for crying out, and not "On Tour with Turing". I truly don't get it! (pun intended) It's fiction... fiction, science fiction!
I'm sure Ridley counted on it. And his inbox is full, haha. A part of why he has now done some kind of U-turn.
Nah, that's seriously awful, getting a Christmas Card from her and her new lover, who hadn't even told anyone, who does that?! Usch! And a sad card from the man, alone... That's so sad...
No no! As absolutely awful as 2016 has been with all celebrities deaths, I meant in Fortitude! He's in 9 episodes and Sofie is in 10, and I hope he's alive and kicking!
I'm off for coffee ☕, but I'll see if I can find the clip of David on Youtube, otherwise I've got the film downloaded. And maybe, just maybe and since I'm such good at computers, so they say, I'll be able to make a gif of it, ha!
Dear Mr.Scott, I refuse to call you Sir because...well more of that later. Firstly I'm a huge fan of your Alien film of a long,LONG time ago.I loved the alien and everything,it made me proper scared when I was a kid.But now I'm a grown up and I know things,lots of things actually.I got books and a computer and stuff and,well I've lived.You don't wanna know the things I've seen cos frankly it would give you nightmares.So believe me when I tell you I know about aliens,planets and things. So why did you have to go and ruin my life by making Prometheus? I can't sleep,I haven't slept for nearly 5 years. I don't know if you know about IMDb but its a place where we writers gather to discuss our thoughts on your terrible film.Well I done a poll and a million percent of us writers think its *beep* there. I think you should be stripped of your knighthood for making it. Its now my mission to bring down everyone who likes it.I mean what are they thick or summit? So I felt you should know, Best regards for 2017, Ernest Tipley, P.S If you ruin Blade Runner I'm coming round your gaff with my boys,you get me?
Ah Stanley Tucci in Fortitude, I fear the cast list has given the game away!
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
Thank you for you letter. First of all, I'm pleased to hear that you will not call me "Sir", because I never really liked the title myself. The sword that the Queen put on one of my shoulders, was at least as hard to bear, and the obligations that came with being knighted, as the criticism I have received after the film Prometheus.
I doubt that it is of any consolation that you are not the only one I have received letters from, and especially not if you normally socialize at one of IMDb's boards. I normally do not say this, so please keep it a secret between you and I, but I have an own account on IMDb, called SirRidleyScott.
I have received letters from people with very odd names, such as TheStrangeler, Taudarian, Scalvador, Shartbomb, VeritasLuxMea and MyHarvardTie. All of them with the same message, that Prometheus was... well, crap. That they, as they say themselves "didn't get it". They seem to be a bit dumb to be honest, do not tell them that though. I have always wondered how people can take a science fiction film as the truth? There is fiction, and there is empirical evidence. Please consider this yourself.
But to be fair to those who in fact liked the film, I have received fan letters from Ray Woods, It'sAFrog (does he always talk about himself in third person? Never mind) Nicolas28, all of those made me very happy to read. Oh, not to forget SuperHappyAlien. Which brings me to the point:
I'm very pleased to know that you love Alien, Mr. Tipley. But in all honesty, Alien was not well received in 1979, and I never could have imagined that a script which looked like a B-film, or even a C-film, would be praised all over the world, as much as it is today. I guess I am as good as they say.
So the hard part was to make a sequel, and I do not like sequels, so I thought; let's raise the bar! And since I'm interested in both aliens and where we come from, I thought, I run with the whole bloody thing! Let's make a great soup about life and death! I tried to convey the society in which we already live in, and the longing to understand our origins, and how many Gods are there? As well as, why do we all have to die?
I am a brilliant cinematographer, so that was the easiest part. The most difficult thing was to try to get people to understand the rest of Prometheus and the tie to Alien. So I sneaked in a little of Alchemy, but not to confuse anyone – because some actually liked the idea, and so I do. But the people at Fox are some whiny bastards, so much is to blame their ignorance and their money hungry mouths, who kept me on a leash, if I may put it that way. Few directors have the freedom to decide what is best when making a film nowadays, as people might think. Even if your name is Ridley Scott.
There is a meaning with Prometheus, I am sorry to say, you just are not able to see the pearls, which is many. I'm not trying to dismiss your thoughts, but if you watch Prometheus another 10 times, I am sure that you will get it. If not, please do not come around to chop my balls off, instead I will re-pay you the money for the DVD, and the theatre ticket(s). Just send me the invoice. Also send me an invoice for your sleeping pills, I will certainly pay for your sleepless nights in Seattle.
As for Alien: Covenant, I think you will be very pleased with the result. I have brought back the good old Alien concept, but like everything else, you cannot please them all. And those who loved Prometheus will be pleased too. Rapace will have more screen time than a cameo, but that is also a kind of secret.
As for Blade Runner. Lucky you, as there is not any film in between the two, and I will allow me to get straight to the point. You will not be disappointed, that is a promise. But, don not speak about our conversation with anyone on any board, thank you.
Yours Sincerely, Ridley Scott
Ah Stanley Tucci in Fortitude, I fear the cast list has given the game away
Dear Mr.Scott, Well I didn't expect an answer,I thought you'd be too busy putting the final touches to Alien Covenant.I hope there will be half naked birds in this one,I like half naked birds. I also want lots of aliens too,but not too many aliens.So I can keep the mystery alive in my head you know? But maybe you could reveal a bit more about their origins.Not too much though as I might think it's stupid and that will ruin it for me. I also wouldn't mind if you explored the Space Jockey thing a bit more but then again I don't want to know too much,cos I might not like your idea and I have ideas of my own. So you know if you manage all that without pissing me off I might enjoy it.
As for your offer to pay back the money I spent on Prometheus well ha ha! The joke's on you Mr.Diddley Squat cos I didn't pay. As if! If,for instance,you thought for one minute that I saw it 3 times at the cinema and own the Blu-Ray so that I could watch it obsessively then you'd be mistaken.I watch it obsessively on YouTube instead.
How dare you say I don't get it! You don't get it.I'm really clever and also sensitive you moron.I know lots of other successful people (mostly writers and fellow actors) and I know other people too gangsters and street fighters and I once smoked a joint so you,Mr Squat,you mean nothing to me.
When my girlfriend comes round (no really I do have a girlfriend and a wife...in fact I have 2 wives and an ex) and wants to watch Prometheus I say "I ain't havin' that piece of filth on my telly,no fackin' way".
All your excuses about raising the bar.What bar are you talking about? The bar in Vickers quarters or something? It's already quite high cos you know she's a tall bird isn't she.
What gods are you going on about? You're going way over my head now.
And I never EVER wonder where I came from Ridley.I know where I came from,my mum and dad of course.
And I never EVER wonder why we have to die either.My ex (the fat one) told me I'm going to hell,it sounds quite nice there,I'll be right at home.
Don't worry I won't tell anyone else about our conversation, I don't want my fellow (successful) writers to know I've been chatting to you.
Once again, Best Wishes, Ernest Tipley
P.S don't forget the half naked birds,preferably with vests and grey knickers running around all sweaty like.Oh and you could put a pussy in this one too if you like.
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
I'm pleased to hear from you again. I think. Although, I'm not so sure with the tone, it seems to have shifted from you former letter, and not in a good way. You seem to be very angry, for no good reason really. After all, it's only a film we are talking about. Not the WWII.
You might consider to do something about your aggression, you may not need to seek professional help, but maybe talk to some of your friends on the Prometheus board? My favourite calls himself BB-15, and his way of responding to questions is a great example. Imo.
However, I'm very busy in the editing and the post-production of Alien: Covenant, but I have time to respond to one or two letters a day, so on to your questions. I might as well take it right from the start, because I'm not surprised you did not pay for Prometheus, you seem to be nice, but yet an obsessively greedy Youtube free loader. Oh well, scrap the invoice.
Of course there will be chicks in the film, I'm Ridley Scott after all! I love women and sex, have you not seen my wife?! But I cannot tell you everything, that would ruin your film experience, and surely you prefer to have a little excitement left when you will watch it on Youtube?
But there will be naked, half naked women and men, after all I'm feminist... somewhere. I have made sure that no one on this film will have a no-nudity clause in their contracts. And I like female protagonists, and I like vests. That combination, wow, with a half naked woman in a vest and a rifle, well you do not have to be Ash to appreciate that, or Giger for that matter, bless his soul. He was a man with a vivid imagination, as am I, and our work together made Alien the film it is today.
As for aliens, there will be plenty of different huggers; back, ass, dick and face among others. But the most important is the Queen Alien, and here I asked Elizabeth (not Shaw) but the II, but she was not in the mood and and neither was I, since she insisted on bringing all her hats. In the film.
It may come as a bit of a surprise, but I have tried to depict the present and the political situation of today, and has placed the plot, well, you have to wait and see. But I'm surprised that you have not seen the trailer yet? Here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q70MrmN8DkU
What gods am I talking about? If you are as smart as you claim to be, you would know that for instance, only in Hinduism there are lots of different gods, about 330 million, but three major ones. Now I can see your head is spinning, I wish I was there! Then you have the all the other religions. Did you not listen to Holloway in Prometheus? All you cared about was his damn presents he wanted to open, shame on you!
And if you do not know what it means to raise the bar, only means that you have watched too much of Vickers, doing push ups. Wet. Oh, so wet.
All I can say about the Space Jockey, to not reveal too much; the children will be even smaller.
No offence, but you do not seem to be smart enough to have a wife, much less two. The ex, I can understand. But women are a funny species, that is something I have always said. But they are simply amazing... sigh.
If you do not mind, I will continue my work. Only this letter to you, who have odd ideas and not the brightest of brains, have cost me £.1000. Please, do not reply to me to say congratulations, and if you insist, I might consider to put you on ignore.
Dear Mr.Scott, I hope you realise that myself and my socks..err...I mean fellow writers,actors,film critics,SciFi experts and members of the Tom Cruise fan club have been up all night bumping old posts just to get yours moved down the page.
I'm not sure you understand how exhausting it is for me being jealous of your success.
Well it is. It eats me up.
Do you not think that I've got better things to do than to watch this board 24/7? I could be watching Risky Business.Instead of writing emails to you I could be sending my latest script to Tom,who is a friend of mine by the way.
But noooo,I told you it is my mission to take down anyone who even remotely likes this film,so until the day comes when everyone is a hater I shall patrol this board ruthlessly.
I'm not sure I like your insinuation that I'm not smart.I'll have you know I'm the smartest person I know and I know lots of people,mostly people off the telly and stuff.
I do have a girlfriend,she's a great girl.Yesterday she offered to move out just so I could persue my dream of being the number 1 poster on this board.She is definitely real and not just some woman I found on google images.
Well I must go Ridley,I have a busy day ahead.These award winning scripts won't write themselves you know.
You take care now,don't smoke too many cigars.
All the best, Ernest Tipley.
P.S glad you are putting girls in vests in the new film. Maybe you might consider Tom Cruise in a vest for your next film? It worked for Bruce Willis.
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
I have to confess that I peeked for a second, before Giannina moaningly called for me in the bedroom. And saw your fellow writers, sci-fi experts and especially the chairman of Tom Cruise's fan club, bumping threads on the main page. That is such bullocks! Completely uninteresting one-liners, what a daft bunch of knob heads!
Therefore, I'm especially grateful for your letter, and I have a surprise for you. I have talked with one of my mates, Pietro Scalia, and he is willing to let you be his assistant during one week in the editing room, would not that be fun? Because, I don't want you to be eaten up because you are jealous. That will only make you both old and wrinkly. And I tell you why;
You seem like a nice person, and you cannot watch this board 24/7. I will make sure someone from my crew will do that, his name is TheTriteler, (to sort of blend in). Especially when you are a scriptwriter and a friend of Tom's! That is a chap I like very much, despite the Scientology bullsh.t. He was especially close to my brother, and will tell McQuarrie to dress Tom in a vest in the next Mission Impossible film.
And maybe you are the smartest person you know, and that is also why I will be extra generous to you. Not only did you tell me this about the bumping, but you seem to be acquainted with all sorts of media. TV is the best invention ever, only slightly behind the cinematograph and sliced bread.
Last but not least. I have reserved 4 tickets for the premiere in London the 19th of May this year, to see Alien: Covenant! So bring your 2 wives and the ex. But not anyone you have found on Google images. Maybe it's a bloke.
Take care, and send me a copy when you finished the script, you know my email address. I will try to cut down on the cigars, Giannina tells me I'm getting more wrinkles. But as they say; all cats are grey in the dark.
Maybe I am just a little obsessed,do you think so?
After all its only a film and apparently there are millions of them out there that I can watch and enjoy.Who knew
It's also become clear to me that its okay for others to enjoy a film that I don't like.
It's even okay for them to defend stuff in the film that I think is stupid! I've realised it doesn't affect my life one little bit.
I've also realised,that my thoughts are just opinions and it pains me to admit it but I'm not always right about everything. It's okay to be opinionated of course.
So Mr.Scott thanks for the chat,you've made me understand things better and although I'm never going to be a fan of Prometheus I've realised that I can respect the rights of others to hold opinions that differ to my own.
All the best,
Ernest Tipley.
*It was all just a dream....
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
How very nice to hear from again, which such a humble and generous tone. Sometimes, all it takes is to look yourself in the mirror and say; "I'm not the one who must decide what is best, or what others should believe in". Or, "Who says that what I have to say, is how it's supposed to be looked upon?". And I actually think you have reached that point. Which kind of feels liberating, does it not? That is a good introspection! 👏
I would not say that you are obsessed, maybe a bit, but you are not incurable. Yes, who knew? And of course it's okay for others to not like the same thing as you do. That goes for films, and that goes for everyday life. Take that as a golden rule, because it is golden.
You are so welcomed, both figuratively and literally. I'm so glad I could help you to understand limits and different opinions, but most of all respect them. And that does really not makes another person stupid.
I hope I have the pleasure to meet you in London. And who knows, if it is okay with Giannina, (which I'm certain of) you can walk the red carpet with us. You take care, and see you in May.
Yeah... Prometheus and the Deacon, what a terrible little thing! I doubt that he had been to the dentist recently, and so skinny too. But what a tail...!
But if now God doesn't build in straight lines... who created the Nazca Lines?!
BTW, my red message disappeared after my thread was deleted, and just one mention of a name, shorten, and I've got a new red message, and I haven't even posted that much, wtf?! What a loser.
PS. The Denial board looks like a very cheerful and funny board. Loved your comment.
That squid baby too,how the f does it grow so quickly??
I think I know the name you mentioned I think I read somewhere that he is 36,imagine if that were true A 36 year old behaving like an angry teenager,living on a comic book board, posting round the clock and throwing tantrums every time his name is mentioned
I'm really looking forward to seeing Denial.Tim Spall is such a great actor.I had a look at the board after watching the trailer and was astounded really astounded.Quite worrying how stupid the world is becoming.
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
I don't know! I hear the latte mothers all the time, talking about how their babies grow so fast, well they should have been in Shaw's shoes. Or barefoot. She locked it in, in the machine only programmed for males, and boom! it grew faster than I brush my teeth at night.
Another thing I thought of... Was the pod calibrated for men only, so Fox/Scott could avoid mentioning abortion? I mean, it's a sticky subject, especially in the US.
Yep, you're right, for sure. But seriously, 36?! Nah... wtf, haha. I really don't want to mention his name, but there was something about sand in our vaginas... which is something every 36 years old would talk about. I actually had sand once on a beach, during a holiday somewhere near Calais, and it blew up a storm. We had sand everywhere, but my BF and I hadn't seen the sun, visiting London, so we held out for half an hour, haha.
I thought Denial already had premiered. But checking, you'll have to wait until 27th of January. I think it's extremely interesting, but not sure I could watch anyone, Irving in this case, go to court with this, makes me upset just to think about it. But yes, the world is so damn stupid, seriously. So so stupid...
Was the pod calibrated for men only, so Fox/Scott could avoid mentioning abortion? I mean, it's a sticky subject, especially in the US.
It's not something I've ever considered, I just assumed it was so the audience might wonder why it was there and who it was for.You could be right though.It is a sticky subject for sure. If I was listening to a programme on the radio (I think it was called a world without Downs)about testing for Downs Syndrome and sadly many who find their unborn will be affected decide to terminate.I'm so glad its not a decision I've ever had to make.
Sand in our vaginas! What a charmer,anyway I doubt he'd recognise a vagina if it jumped up and bit him.I'd say he's,without doubt been untroubled by the touch of a woman's hand.
What I find hugely ironic is that those who tormented a certain poster on here justified it by saying he'd called people names,yet the 36 year old toddler is far,far more offensive and yet he gets a free pass! It seems it's ok just as long as you also hate the film.I've always found that a bit bonkers.
I think the upside of Denial is that we know the outcome at least. Irving had daddy issues,and failed at lots of stuff,isn't that often the case? I think I'm right in thinking that Mel Gibson's father was a denier too,or at least he believed it was exaggerated, which probably contributes to his antisemitic views. I wonder how people begin to form such opinions,do you think they are impressionable and vulnerable or maybe mentally unwell to start with?
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
Yes, and to make a short story long, it wasn’t that long ago when I read a reply on the SATC board, where a poster said when discussing Miranda's first decision to have an abortion, that while discussing it with her friends, Samantha said she have had two, and Carrie one. This poster was so upset about especially Samantha who he thought "bragged about it". And of course a following discussion about abortion, pro – con.
So I thought, if the pod had been calibrated for both women and men, what would have been Shaw's choices? Abortion. And I don't think Fox was willing to go there. Not sure if Weyland was suppose to be on the ship in the original script Spaihts wrote, and if not, it also makes sense with keeping the TED talk and the sequences on the yacht in the film. But it's just a thought.
But it's tragic about Down Syndrome, and I honestly don't think that any of the parents who did get a child with Downs, ever regretted to keep it. But sadly, I'm not surprised, since you can even choose gender of your child, good genes and eye colour. It's not a bright future ahead, it's really sad... and bizarre.
What I find hugely ironic is that those who tormented a certain poster on here justified it by saying he'd called people names,yet the 36 year old toddler is far,far more offensive and yet he gets a free pass! It seems it's ok just as long as you also hate the film.I've always found that a bit bonkers.
Bingo! If anything is bonkers, that is. I honestly don't get it. Sand in vaginas belongs in kindergarten, and I'm not really surprised when coming from a poster who clearly is still stuck in age. But that no one confronts this individual and his spews and never has, instead he's cheered on, is to say the least most remarkable. And not in a good way.
Yes, I read the story with Lipstadt and Irving, and the upside is the outcome, for sure. I guess a father (or absence of) is often a cause. Or a mini-Hitler for a father, who often makes the children to fail, just as you say. I'm not that familiar with Gibson since he went kind of south, but sure, that's a possible reason.
I'm not really sure what causes it in the first place, but if you're not like "the norm", that's often a cause without being mentally unwell, but surely both impressionable and definitely more vulnerable. Mental disorders are after all found to be inherited, and if a parent – or both – reinforces this by ignoring a child's needs, the result isn't likely to be particularly good.
People have so incredibly diverse needs to be seen, and if they haven't been seen as a child, then it will surely flourish as an adult. By assert themselves, to simply being seen, how crazy it might be, whatever they now are advocating. Such as Irving.

It's a really interesting idea and it makes a good deal of sense.I suppose,had the machine been calibrated for both,her choice would have been Caesarian as terminations are usually performed chemically or internally. It's such a gruesome scene!
Abortion is just such a difficult one,it can never be simply a case of pro or against.It's not a comfortable subject to even think about.Of course the Samantha character is fictional and I doubt women who have had abortions brag about them.
The guest speaker for Down's was Sally Phillips the actress who has a son with Downs,she spoke about all the positives and joy he's brought to their family,it was very moving,she acknowledged that it had been challenging.She felt quite sad that improved screening meant more people were terminating.It's a double edged sword really because the reality is that if the trend continues there will be fewer people with Downs in the world and therefore less support available for those families who don't terminate.
I don't think we need to waste any more virtual oxygen talking about you know who.He clearly has demons aplenty!
Winona Ryder claims that Mel Gibson called her an "oven dodger",rather terrible if true.
The Denial board is bizarre,I've read about people who claim to be Jewish who just know that the Holocaust is a lie,people who say they are mixed race so the can't be racist! It beggars belief Beja,it really does!
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
her choice would have been Caesarian as terminations are usually performed chemically or internally. It's such a gruesome scene!
Exactly. And as much as it is a science fiction film, I'm pretty sure there would be people objecting to it anyway. That's just how these "pro-life" people have their mind set on. I mean, there are countries where you don't even get an abortion if being raped. Jeez, makes me sick just to think of it. No one brags about having an abortion, neither did Samantha.
But I recall a thread here where asked what the most gruesome scene in Prometheus was, and both you and I said Shaw in the pod
Oh, Sally Philips, I haven't seen her in much, in Bridget Jones and also in Miranda, and I think she's great. I just read an article in The Telegraph where she talked about her son and what you just said. He's so cute! And I guess after the radio, the BBC aired a one-hour documentary which she presented and co-wrote, A World Without Down's Syndrome? (2016). She's amazing with this, but the most amazing person is Olly;
After the initial teary conversation in the hospital, she was expecting tragedy. Instead, she got comedy.
‘I suppose I always like absurd scenarios,’ she acknowledges. ‘I just started noticing that it was funny… So, for example, when Olly ran away wearing a Leo Sayer wig and outsized sunglasses in the shape of stars and you’re chasing him down the road barefoot, it’s: “Ok, this isn’t that different from work.”… I mean, he’s got great comic timing. He’s naturally incredibly funny. Always has been.’
ICA is one of the leading retail companies here, and they're famous for their TV commercials. They've built like a family, with known actors, I guess the concept is familiar. Anyway, a new trainee Jerry and he's brilliant; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLLQJSKeahI "Hey Stig, Ulf's not feeling really good, huh?"
But the thing about terminating. Sure, it's a choice, but on the other end, just like you say, there are those families who don't, and won't get the support they need. Which is a step further to being perfect... and who is? It's a frightening thought...
Mel Gibson called her an "oven dodger", WTF?! He's as nuts as he was in Conspiracy Theory, jeez.
About Denial. I think the ONLY way is to put the evidences on repeat, over and over and over again. I don't think there are so many people in the real world who don't believe that the Holocaust ever existed, but say, in 100 years? History is constantly rewritten and this better be in the books and tapes and zeros and ones. Whatever it takes for the truth to be kept alive.

Ha ha! Yes I remember that thread,we both enjoyed that scene in a weird way! Luckily Shaw had nanobots to fuse her flesh together after the staples.Was it Ray who suggested that or someone else? I loved that idea.
I love the ICA commercial! Jerry looks like a little mischief maker! American Horror Story often features a little actress called Jamie Brewer http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4661932/ She's fab and plays quite a wicked character called Nan in AHS Coven.
Sadly I think Mel Gibson is a bit nuts.I think you kind of have to be to have such beliefs.
I have read people who say things like "why so many films about the Holocaust?","Isnt it time to move on?". We must never forget or allow ourselves to get used to it or move on. As I said in my post on that board a visit to the Imperial War museum's Holocaust exhibition would probably be enough to shut some people up.It's truly gruelling.
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
Shaw certainly had nano bots, and I'm quite sure it was Ray who came up with it, or at least the one who fought for the possibility, loved it too... why not? Ray did a lot of threads, it's sad that he's gone, but he's always on Facebook, when I pop in. I wonder what happened to this guy... http://www.imdb.com/user/ur4706648/ Were you around at the time he posted? I think he disappeared because he couldn't stand Frog being bullied... or something like that.
I haven't seen American Horror Story, but that is a cute girl! There's so many of then who are so smart and their lives are as good as anyone else's. Jerry is the same, he was around for a while and ICA's commercials are the only I can stand.
Ugh, it makes me nauseous about Gibson and even more when it comes to the Denial. What?! Move on? You can't "move on" from history. The storming of the Bastille on July 14 still happened in 1789, that's not going to change. What is wrong with people?!
Ray looks really well and is having a fun life by the looks of it,such a gentle soul.I dont think he found this board very civilised! There was too much testosterone he once told me!
I remember JR (not from Dallas) vaguely but I don't remember what kind of poster he was or anything like that.I don't think we ever spoke,I think by the time I arrived he was just leaving. But weren't you two friends? He did seem to disappear very suddenly but I never knew why.
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
You and JayR had a few conversations that I recall Dazed, not the details so much but you certainly had some tête-à-têtes in public with him
As to why he left, that would be open to dispute. I don't think there is anything to gain by trying to explore it as they aren't here and cannot verify anything beyond mere gossip.
I certainly had friendly banter with JayR, I hope to see them again after A:C is released but respect if they choose not to show up having had their fun here back in the day.
EDIT: Drunk where I am and mixed you up with Beja Dazed, sowwee
I only like arguing about people whilst they are here, with the odd prod towards the stories which makes you drowsy
You had banter with him too, I remember it well, Roberto (When he was still about), Ray, Beja, James, Viscal, Carrots, Ite, IGetItUpTheArse, the whole gang - it was our zenith.
We'll not get that again on the A:D boards, but we laid the foundations on which they'll fight I'm certain
I'm not sure that I did,honestly,I only happened along after the DVD release and there was already a huge battle raging.
I don't remember fiscal or ite either.I remember Igetitfaster he was funny and tore you lot a new one on a number of occasions! I thought he was he_can't for a while but he_cant said he was not (if you meet him on your travels say hi).I'm still convinced you and Robert are the same person although you deny it! Of course psydoodle,who is probably still around in some other disguise I'm sure,he was a nice lad and a good laugh and then there was poor old Brippy .
I'm interested to see the new film,mainly to see what happens to David. I suspect Ridley will be injecting it with lots more Xenos to satisfy or try to satisfy the Alien fanbase,which as Beja and I have discussed,would feel like he's selling out the Prometheus fans.In other words I dont think he can win and it seems a lot have already decided they hate it based on the trailer.
My question is would any of you haters admit to liking it if it happens to be Ok?
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
I'm hoping it will be at least Okay Dazed, nothing would make me happier than to find a balance between what Prometheus tried to be and what Alien was (And still is).
I don't think that will happen though as, as you've already put forward, fans of Prometheus will likely get shat upon.
I've never been Robert but I fully respect whoever made him, a work of genius if you ask me. I spent hours working on him and I have no better understanding of his motivations nor reasons for being as dear as he was.
Psy's still here, of course, as are so many others. I hope we light up IMDb when A:C comes along but there are many harbingers who will seek to claim some ground themselves.
It can never be all things to all men and that was always going to be true of Prometheus too.
For me the error,if you can call it an error,was linking the Space Jockey to the Engineer.In fact I wished the Space Jockey had remained a mystery.
That was a moment in the movie Alien where I'd reckon most people kind of sat up in their seats and thought "Oh *beep* What the hell is that?" I think we should be still thinking that.
So without that and the deacon at the end,which looks like an afterthought.There would be no real link to the Alien world,except to say perhaps that they share a Universe.
That reminds me did you see 10 Cloverfield Lane?
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
I completely agree that the Space Jockey being an unknown entity in Alien was something which should have been kept and not explored, that's part of the magic of that movie.
I have seen 10 Cloverfield Lane Dazed and I absolutely loved it. John Goodman was spot on!
If someone were to say that 10CL was a homage to the golden age of science fiction I would completely agree with them. It has the terse Hitchcock vibe going on for it and an alien invasion to boot!
Wonderful movie in my opinion, what did you think of it?
I really loved it too and I so nearly gave it a miss because of Cloverfield.It was only on a friends insistence that I gave it a go.
Don't get me wrong I loved the idea of Cloverfield but the whole found footage thing is something I wish had never been invented! It's distracting,confusing and has given me motion sickness on occasion! (Trollhunter) So 10 CL is described as a "blood relative" of Cloverfield and I like that a lot,that's what I was suggesting Prometheus ought to have been.
I mean yes John Goodman was brilliant,in fact he's so good at these parts I wonder if he's like it in real life! I know what you mean about the Hitchcock vibe too,I think its a real achievement to make the viewer feel as insecure as the characters and yet to also pity the antagonist.

I enjoyed it immensely and to find out the director has next to nothing under his belt too, well, I think it'll be a good idea to keep an eye on Dan Trachtenberg as the movie was handled with a masterly hand and whilst the premise is a bit B-movie, it did a sterling job of making it feel fresh and recommendable.
I sometimes wonder if Roseanne Barr mad John the man he is today...I don't wonder to hard though as she might try and sue him for monies owed for mentoring or something
I didn't realise he had done an episode of Black Mirror but I haven't caught the most recent series yet.
Roseanne was great and nearly all the actors have done well in other things with Darlene,Jackie and David all in The Big Bang Theory,Sarah Chalke in Scrubs and Rick and Morty.There is no doubt in my mind that Roseanne Barr takes credit for them all! There's also no doubt in my mind that she's as obnoxious as her character was in real life!
Speaking of Rick and Morty,have you seen Mr.Pickles or Brickleberry?
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
The recent series of Black Mirror was the usual fare of cynical sentimentality mixed with overuse of, and dependence on, technology. All very good stuff
It didn't work out so well for Glenn Quinn from Roseanne but that's life I guess.
I've seen Rick and Morty (Of course) but Mr. Pickles and Brickleberry have managed to pass me by unnoticed. Are they any good? I'm already planing a Mister Pickles and Mister Peanutbutter dog fight in my head...
I had no idea he'd died,but then I wasn't exactly keeping up with his career.I vaguely remember him in Angel.It's sad and a waste but we all have demons.That transition from child star to adult seems to be quite tricky for some.
Mr.Pickles and Brickleberry are both several notches above South Park on the "wrongness" scale and unlike SP there is no underlying message of morality,they just exist to entertain. Mr.Pickles is a border collie who is very protective of his human boy Tommy and also of his underground lair of satanic worship/S and M dungeon/torture chamber/body store he also likes having sex with other animals but really,really wants to have sex with Tommy's mum. I found a short clip that kind of illustrates the kind of dog he is! https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=S0vzeeqQQz8
Brickleberry is even worse,not for the easily offended or faint hearted.

Yes, Ray looks like he's in his prime, and always happy dancing, he's really a gentle soul Ha! Yes, too much testosterone for a man who looks like he's got enough of it himself.
JayR (not from Dallas) moved on because he have had enough. I think you're right, can't recall that you and he had some especially conversations, and not any tête-à-tête in public that I remember. I think you popped in about the time he was leaving, which was on New Years Eve, if memory serves. Yes, we were friends, but it was mostly James, Harry and he who had conversations, being on the same side of the fence.
But it was, just like Harry said, really good times. Viscal, who was this great guy who supplied us with links and stuff. And of course Carrot, IGetIt and Robert. I remember Ite too, I think I saw him on the A: C board. Everyone pops up from the Promeheus hibernation, ha.
I still have the post James made, called "Prometheus Re-Imagined by all of us..." posted Fri Nov 9 2012... jeez, which was suppose to be a collective résumé. James started and Harry followed, and Robert jumped in. It's really good. Maybe I'll make a new thread and post it, and that one won't be deleted, for sure
I'll think about it. But first, as usual, I have to have cooffee! ☕
I probably showed up around Oct/Nov but I'm not really sure. Do you remember all he_Cant's Guy Pierce threads,there were loads! Harry's Friends thread,something about sandwich fillings too. I seem to remember someone called Discerningly Tasteful as being responsible for having BB's thread removed or do I have that wrong! Strangler used to be called Iamsomebody and Brippy used his real name. Psydoodle was king of karaoke,he wasn't a fan of Angry Jams either!
Orwellian,incidentally,has made several appearances on the board over the years! He was Good Omens.

Oh... psyddoodle and his karaoke, I hope he's still around. Yes, from Iamsomebody to TheStrangeler, that's what I call promotion! Brippy is moving on my friends list at times. But Good Omens! Jeez, well then I know who he is!
I do remember Discerningly Tasteful, not sure if he was responsible for having BB's thread removed, but you're probably right. He wasn't that Tasteful.
nakedgirl... well, not worth the energy, so I'll just scrap that too.
Oh, last but not least; I read somewhere that inspired by the new administration, Netflix announced the production of a new series titled "Orange is the New Stupid". The lead character will be a man who dodged the draft and fantasizes about his own daughter. Netflix also released a statement saying the series will be based entirely on "alternative facts"

When it comes to Trump, nothing will surprise me any longer, I almost can't be on FB, seriously. I didn't laugh as much this morning when I read about the Trump opening up on torture. Or more specific water boarding; "Evil shall with evil be expelled."
I'd like to put his fat body on a damn narrow bench, with a cloth over his ugly face, pouring water and slowly see how the orange colour seeps along his equally thick neck. Seriously.
Can you see any good coming out of the Mexico City Policy that Trump has kindly reinstated? Who loses? Women, they'll either be driven to illegal,dangerous terminations or be forced into raising children they don't want or don't have the resources to take care of.
But...this is democracy ha ha! Next thing you know he'll be making women walk behind their husbands (oh wait he already did that at his inauguration to Melania),that'll be hugely ironic don't you think?
It does look like his wife would rather be wrestling a three month old turd than dancing with her husband!
Did you see the gif I put on Facebook?
He's disgusting and it's getting less funny as the days go by and what he is becomes a reality.

No, I really can't. There's nothing good at all. In fact, this is yet another fight between the boys and in this case, the Republicans vs Democrats. It was was enacted by Reagan in -84, rescinded by Clinton, re-instituted AGAIN by Bush Jr. and rescinded by Obama. And now it's Trump's turn to play God. WTF?!
While, just as you say, the losers are women. So Trump has turned his anti-women rhetoric into policy, and made it more difficult for women and families to access vital reproductive care. And STILL, the US has the highest rates when it comes to teenage pregnancies in the Western world. But maybe Trump is striving for the 1950s, when about a million illegal abortions/year were performed in the US, and over a thousand women died each year as a result. That is democracy, right...
Haha, yes, Melania walked behind him and I LOLed when I read yours "wrestling a three month old turd than dancing with her husband!" She did!
Yes, if you mean your "count down" gif on FB, love it! 3 years, 11 months, 30 days and 6 hours when I checked last evening. And damn, you're good, home made sourdough bread! 🍞
I'm so happy as well, not being an American, but I'm worried about my dear American friends who definitely did not vote for Trump.
But this, this is just too much, read it this morning and I almost LOLed. You know Trump's chief strategist and adviser, Steve Bannon, the Breitbat guy who's very much to the right says this:
"The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while," Mr. Bannon said in an interview on Wednesday.
"I want you to quote this," Mr. Bannon added. "The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States."

Was that you? But I know which one you mean, I replied to a friend in Swedish about it, and she certainly looks like as if thunder has struck. That gif is everywhere, and it says plenty.
She's not moving to the White House either, until their son will end his school, and I doubt she ever will. No, she really doesn't look like someone would put up with an Orange man. I really hope she's not.
Someone in DN today, called him a rhetorical incontinent narcissist. What a joke he is.
Yes, GULP. I would, seriously. I don't think I've ever felt this way about someone prominent/president in a civilized country, is's just... nuts.
And I don't think there's anyone in the modern society (whatever that is) not mocking him publicly.
Advertising for example. One of the companies is Delicato, which is the largest manufacturer of confectionery products in Scandinavia, has just released this advertise;
Today, 13.2 million* Swedes eat at least one Delicato Ball.

Abortion in the USA isn't a gendered issue though. More than 50% of women oppose it The March for Life was actually bigger than the Anti-Trump Womens March, just less reported. Trump himself doesn't really care (he only is interested in fixing the trade stuff), he's just fulfilling that to his base.
It's a tricky issue, but it is evident that Planned Parenthood does a lot of bad stuff. For example they try to ban ultrasounds and try to coax women into getting it like used car salesmen. They also operate a lot in minority communities and kill the family. Their founder was Margret Sanger, who is quoted as being a race eugenicist with the goal of killing off nonwhite babies.
I'm not passionate either way about it, but I understand why people are against it. For a scarier example, in Peru they would actually force/trick illiterate peasant women into have abortions and sterilize them. Thousands. That's when your country is suffering from advanced globalism sickness.
That's the only thing that's good about that f.cking wall. How could ANYONE ever believe that México would pay for it?! Veeeery long nose! I hope it hurts significantly in his already tortured soul.
I predict that before too long Trumpton will make some huge error of judgement and will be out on his ear *fingers crossed* So far his judgement has been questionable to put it mildly.

He wants to show that he's a "doer" and everything gets completely crazy. The governor of Washington state went out yesterday and declared Donald Trump "an enemy of the United States", it's heartbreaking to even watch, and I sincerely hope that there will be more that follow. Damn that I didn't save it, but it's on FB, I'll have a look.
His tweets and even grabbing the pussies are bagatelles compared to what he's doing now. I saw the news with the meeting between May and Trump, and I'm not sure if she was kind of lecturing him, or kissing his ass. But I hope your Queen will have her say, he's used to Towers, or maybe she'll knight him, haha.
Yes, people are STILL supporting this lunatic, take a look at the Politics board
OMG Beja stop repeating lies and Fake News talking points. OBAMA is the one who came up with Trump's Ban list. and it's NOT a Muslim ban. It's a temporary travel ban from certain regions until proper vetting can be ascertained. Obama did the same exact ban when he came into office. And he did a Venezuela ban as well as ending the Cuban wet foot system. The onl difference is that our media didn't react in hysteria over it.
Our media is corrupt and sold out to Globalists such as George Soros and the Koch Brothers. You shouldn't get anything from them as they just lie lie lie. That is the reason why Trump uses Twitter. So he can talk DIRECTLY to the American people. Our Media has NO credibility here. I imagine the smattering of International News you hear about America is filtered through our biased mainstream media, hence your confusion
To learn the real situations look to citizen reporting and street camera vids. Groups like WikiLeaks, Project Veritas, InfoWars, and Drudge Report are excellent channels for giving the public that raw true information. and they have a far higher viewership then our dying mainstream media.
and as for Trump, he has fulfilled 90% of his campaign promises in the first week. So a complete success in that regard. He also ended WW3 by smoothing over the relationship with Russia. Hillary promised to attack them. Ohh poor Beja. Please don't watch our fake news lol
OMG, back at you Carrot. Stop pretending to be some evangelist in the matter. "Our media"? You're not even from the US, so why representing and carry the American flag in the first place?
"A temporary travel ban from certain regions until proper vetting can be ascertained" is STILL a travel ban, and will have repercussions, doesn't matter how much you're trying to bend it to Trump's advantage. Bahar Pars won't be able to attend at the Oscars, and you still think it's a good idea?! Dream on, boy, dream on.
Oh poor Carrot, George Soros and the Koch Brothers, AND a complete success in the first week AND ended WW3 by smoothing over the relationship with Russia? Okay.

"A temporary travel ban from certain regions until proper vetting can be ascertained" is STILL a travel ban
It's not a muslim ban. It's a travel ban, which Obama did. Which Bush did. Which has been done Hundreds of times in this country and in every country. LULZ FAUX OUTRAGE OHMAGERD
Bahar Pars won't be able to attend at the Oscars, and you still think it's a good idea?!
The Oscars are garbage anyway. Did you hear about it when Obama did it?..... noooope. almost like it's a fake issue propped up by our fake media? naaaah 😪
Oh poor Carrot, George Soros and the Koch Brothers, AND a complete success in the first week AND ended WW3 by smoothing over the relationship with Russia? Okay.
This is correct. Hillary said she would attack Iran and respond to cyber attacks with military action. She also said she was going to "ring China from the south pacific" in the WikiLeaks emails.

It's been back and fourth, he does keep an eye on me, mostly nice conversations, except when we don't agree. And especially not since he turned into a Trump troll. And this is very irritating... I'm done.

HUGE lie. I have never lived in another country or said that. You're probably confused because Sammy would always label me various false things. If I recommended a Korean movie he would call me Korean. If I defended Russia for their Child 44 ban he would call me Russian. If I said I went for a vacation in the Philippines then he would call me Filipino. I'd always say that's wrong, but he would always continue. Then there was that JustAView guy who kept calling me a Self hating Latino after every post, who used to stalk me. I think we got into an argument once on the Apocalypto board or something. Basically anyone if I beat someone in an argument over a cultural issue then they label me as that culture. It's annoying, dumb, and I'm none of those listed things. So Whatever. OHH Also some clown from the Prometheus board kept calling me British because I would type 'colour' instead of color and 'favourite' instead of favorite.

Al Jazzeera is far less biased than our mainstream news. RT (Russia Today) is also great. Or maybe they just seem great when compared to insanity fests like CNN, where you literally just need to do two step thinking to reveal that they're all biased frauds and hacks. They were even caught TWICE giving Hillary the debate questions early. Thanks to the good folks at WikiLeaks They also revealed that the Clinton colluded and cheated Bernie Sanders out of the nomination. Additionally that they planted Fake sexism craigslist stories about Trump. Finding out that is REAL reporting. All of this was ignored on CNN and the other fake news sited. But not Drudge or InfoWars. They actually deliver truth. and without Project Veritas we wouldn't have known about their camp insisting riots and that all of the attacks were hoaxes.

James Edward O'Keefe III, the founder and President of Project Veritas, is an American conservative political activist. He produces secretly recorded undercover audio and video encounters, some of which he then edits in order to misrepresent persons as having said things they did not say, with figures and workers in academic, governmental and social service organizations, purporting to show abusive or allegedly illegal behavior by employees and/or representatives of those organizations. He gained national attention for his video recordings of workers at ACORN offices in 2009, his arrest and guilty plea in 2010 for entering the federal office of then-U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) under false pretenses, and the release of videos of conversations with two high-ranking, now former, NPR executives in 2011.
That's not providing objective news coverage. That's fabricating deceptive news.

The part where you think that when Project Veritas edits conversations so that it appears people say things that they did not, how you think that is still objective.
How the majority of their stories are about non-conservative groups such as Democrats or social welfare agencies, but they never seem to do undercover reporting about Republicans. And this is still objective.

Read the quote again.See if I missed out "they let you do it"
Oh so you didn't leave it out. Meaning you defeated your OWN ARGUMENT. NICE
We're discussing Donald Trump aren't we? So why are you bringing up other people?
NICE HYPOCRACY BRO
I couldn't give a flying *beep* about the others because they're not the President.
Yet you only care because you were told to by the media. Moral Outrage = Moral Outrage. You should be equivalently angry. As that's 1,000 times worse. Also you're a Hill-Bot. Hypocrites x 9,000
Yes people say lewd things all the time,they're not however the President.
ERM it seems you haven't studied any presidents have you.
No I didn't leave it out.But you accused me of deliberately leaving it out
Yeah, I didn't see that it was in there. But it was. Meaning you defeated your own argument.
I don't believe you have an iota of a clue what the word hypocrisy means
Nice Projection.
and you certainly don't know how to spell it.
Explain to me exactly how you bringing up the misdemeanours
Nice misspell bro
You know this about me how exactly?
Because you're regurgitating the exact talking points.
I am? How do you work that out? Oh I see,I don't worship the Orange pig so I must therefore be a fan of the other?
Yes. Otherwise you would have immediately responded saying you are not.
God you're boring!
HAHAHAHA I proved you wrong with facts. ALL presidents were pigs. You're a pig. No person is pure minded. Deal with it, faux outrage whiner.
Every president was rated X language wise, BESIDES Trump, who is only PG-13 so far. I'd put LBJ, Andrew Jackson, and Kennedy at the top even Potty mouth Nixon who would use the F word an estimated 20 times every minute pails in comparison.

Oh dear tying yourself in knots here.I provided the whole quote and explained that Trump admits that he believes his celebrity gave him "permission" to assault women.It was your mistake.
Nice Projection
So,you don't know what hypocrisy means or you don't want to answer the question?
Ah it's both,okay I won't force you
Nice misspell bro
Wrong again,reading and understanding is quite troubling for Trump fans isn't it? It's a shame.
Because you're regurgitating the exact talking points.
It's big news...deal with it
Yes. Otherwise you would have immediately responded saying you are not.
Ok,so next time I anticipate you jumping headlong into a conversation I'm having with someone else I'll be sure to make it clear that I'm not a Hill-bot.
Although if you could comprehend sentences with more skill you could easily have worked it out!
HAHAHAHA I proved you wrong with facts. ALL presidents were pigs. You're a pig. No person is pure minded. Deal with it, faux outrage whiner.
Oh dear! You are angry aren't you? Maybe you need to realise that your hero isn't adored by all,is a very divisive character,is repulsive to many women physically and in character,is a bigot and a racist and you know just get over it.

Oh dear! You are angry aren't you?
Nope! Just guzzling your tears!
Maybe you need to realise that your hero isn't adored by all
Name me one president who is adored by all. I'll wait!
is a bigot and a racist
He factually is not. But most of the previous presidents were. Trump is the ONLY President to go INTO OFFICE supporting LGBT Rights and Gay Marriage. Obama did not go into office accepting that. FACT.
Well, all you can do is to laugh and make a toast! 🍸🍸 Religion AND politics obviously get this board going.
I simply don't get how anyone can make excuses for what comes out of Trump's mouth, the word "banter" is not even trendy, ha. urbandictonary; "Conversation that is witty and at the same time abusive. Formerly an "in" word, but no longer cool due to it being used excessively by children"
But I just read that attorney general Sally Yates was told "You're fired!" after she ordered the Justice Department lawyers not to defend Trump's travel ban. Okay, so the US has turned into a dictatorship, and Orange isn't only the new Stupid, Orange is the new Stalin as well.
Oh jeez, Carrot. He's on Noomi's board, the same conversation with Starling who's from the US and genuinely afraid of what is to come. I know he'll bite like a snake when he reads this, but with this, he's deluded. Doesn't matter if he's from the Philippines or the US, when he starts something, it's like a manic episode, seriously. But he's a HUGE Prometheus lover, excessively huge.
I hope your Queen tells him he's repulsive, because no one seems to dare, that's so weird. Or put one of her hats on top of his toupee or whatever he has going on with his comb over hairdo. And the Spectre, yes – on the dark side of the Moon... 🌑

STALIN was a communist. and was big on agenda politics. Far far left....so that doesn't make sense and the majority of people on earth have orange skin. So I don't know what that's bad

Don't make people think you're even more nuts than you already come across in this discussion. There's no FACTS depending how and where he said it, HE SAID IT, period. I've said this a hundred times, we would NEVER elect a man who've said that, locker room talk or not. And wasn't it Trump who mocked a disable person?
Yeah she violated her BOSS.
Oh, indoctrination at its finest.

I haven't come across as nuts at all. I've backed every statement up with facts.

Are you purposely being dense? I linked for you earlier dozens of examples of how EVERY president has said far lewder things. Some were even actual rapists.

Nice lie. She didn't respond to a SINGLE point. You can't even respond to my posts having updated information about questions I've already answered, clearly showing that you didn't read them.
If anyone wants to read what an American woman says about Trump, read Starling's posts on Noomi's board.
50% of Women voted for Trump. The Noomi board only has two Americans. Starling and I.
Yes I believe Trump is now running a dictatorship.If you disagree,you're out.
I don't actually get what will be achieved by this Muslim ban apart from the hugely insulting idea that ALL Muslims are terrorists.It will cause more division and resentment.How can that be a good thing?
Where does this end and is it the thin end of the wedge? And doesn't the persecution of a particular group of people summon up a horrifyingly familiar ideology.
Maybe he ought to look closer to home and do something about the right to bear arms which I believe is a much bigger threat to Americans.Will he address the issue of gun deaths in the US?
I think I know why Carrot has so much in common with Trump.Both are Orange,stupid and throw a tantrum when someone disagrees with them!
There really is no way of justifying the behaviour of the man.It's no excuse to say that other men talk like that because men that talk that way are not respected or at least they are but only by like minded morons.
And the idea that because "he was talking about groupies" makes the pussy grabbing somehow acceptable! No Donald you idiot,you don't grab women by their vaginas not even if you're a celebrity,not even if you think your celebrity means they won't object.Have some respect you vile old pervert.
What his sentences translate to: "I like to pursue women aggressively, if they don't really fancy me I'm persistent.I've found that if you're famous they don't put up too much of a fight"
I love the urban dictionary definition of Banter,it's so true! It's a completely overused word in the UK.

so, DUMB
I don't actually get what will be achieved by this Muslim ban
HE DOES NOT HAVE A MUSLIM BAN Why do you lie? It's a Ban of specific countries laid out by Barack Obama as high risk. There are many many Muslim countries not on the 90 day ban list. Why you lie?
Where does this end and is it the thin end of the wedge?
Try listening to him speak as he explains it.... It's until they have a proper vetting program
Maybe he ought to look closer to home and do something about the right to bear arms which I believe is a much bigger threat to Americans.Will he address the issue of gun deaths in the US?
He speaks all the time on the gang violence. Chicago is as dangerous as Afghanistan. Only he is working to find solutions and even gave the mayor of Chicago an ultimatum if he doesn't cease the carnage

Hey I'm the only one answering points. But I guess my skin is orange naturally.

GOOD LORD DON'T VOTE You are obviously too emotional and brainwashed. Every other president has said worse. Hillary Clinton has said worse. Every person has said worse either out loud, behind closed doors, or in their mind. Get over it. It's a FAKE ISSUE used to divert rubes like you.
And the idea that because "he was talking about groupies" makes the pussy grabbing somehow acceptable!
"They Let You" = Consensual. CRY MORE
No Donald you idiot,you don't grab women by their vaginas not even if you're a celebrity
Did you miss the part in the video when he DIDN'T, meaning that it was a JOKE? Just wow. Useful idiots of the media
What his sentences translate to: "I like to pursue women aggressively, if they don't really fancy me I'm persistent.I've found that if you're famous they don't put up too much of a fight"
It's a dictatorship for sure, what else would anyone sane call it? Yes, it's a horrifyingly familiar ideology. Just like Hitler once started, with people bowing at his presence at first. He wanted to this and that, and WOW! he built the Autobahn, but what came next? First deporting of a certain breed, then a systematically extermination of said race.
So what does Trump do? Well, he sent out the banning of a certain breed, on the International Holocaust Remembrance Day January 27. That's what I call irony of the highest ugliest order and shows the pig that he is.
I have absolutely no idea why he does this, except that he's a "doer", showing that the only thing he's good at, is as the host in The Apprentice, but definitely not representing 319 million people. And yes, a HUGE insult to the Muslim people. Nothing good can come out of this, more than he won't be able to be the president for too long.
Yes, I read an article I've saved in late 2015 where it says that there are now more guns than people in the US. More than 300,000 who had been shot to death in the US during ten years (2015) compares with the roughly 300 Americans over the last decade (also 2015) who have been victims of terrorist acts, in and outside the US.
Carrot is a freakin joke right now, just like Trump. An orange brainwashed joke. How's it even possible for anyone to even try to defend what he says? "It's groupies", therefore it's consensual?! WTF?!
Trump is 70 years old an an old pervert for sure. A dangerous old frekin pervert. And he's running the most powerful country on earth?!
Zero. His approval is now at 60% (and that's from the biased polling who said Hillary had a 99% victory chance) Time to put down the milk bottle and get WOKE.
I don't think that it's anything about it that you have to muster, popular or not. The "below the belt" talk publicly is highly overrated, regardless of your perception of women and rarely funny. Usually an expression of, as we say here; "you know, it's not long, but it is thin!". You're doing just fine with your language as it is.
Ahem... harkel. I missed the "strong hand vs the weak hand" conversation, for better or worse, ha. But I think I actually saw your "fairly kinky" conversation with Kukapetal. She once again, brought her favourite subject gas masks to life, and you went along for the ride in a couple of posts. But the next time I checked, you had deleted all of your posts!
Ha! I think it might have been a faux pas, mistaken Kuka with Kaskait. But you never know, and no one has challenged her either, which probably is for the best. There's a woman who holds her head high, and I mean in a good way. Too little and too much spoils everything, as some wise wo/man said. But shrew princesses and crowns and all that...
I know, she's simply spot on and writes in a language I just love. I came across her when someone translated her article in DN last autumn about Trump's sleazy fumble for power, so I googled and it's as great. I think I have it somewhere if you haven't found it yourself. I'll look out for her books.
True that, I've never felt this in my entire adult life either, about any politician, it's like stomach cramps, whatever you read about Trump.
But the sad thing is, regarding your thoughts about how people who voted for T Rump, most of them seem to STILL think what he does is a good thing, which is even worse than Trump himself. Because what does that tell us, besides that it seems as if time is out of joint?!
Well I hated/hate Tony Blair with an absolute passion,him and his obnoxious wife.There again was a man for whom a 'legacy' was a very important achievement, that and becoming extremely rich.
There is a special place in hell for that man!
As for Trump,as you say it seems that every day is bringing more alarming stuff.He's beyond impetuous and alarming.This was an interesting read earlier.
No American has been killed on US soil by a national from one of the seven proscribed states since 1975. Thousands, by contrast, have died at the hands of citizens from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt – none of which is covered. Their exclusion has led to much speculation in the American media that President Trump has exempted places where he has business interests.
That's quite interesting isn't it?
In general it is looking very much as if we haven't progressed that much isn't it.I thought my generation would be the generation to see the end of racism, homophobia,sexism,inequality and intolerance. Now it just seems as if people are stupider or more easily influenced than ever.
Quite depressing and the main reason why conversation with people who think like that is ultimately pointless.
Speaking of which,I think Carrot might be needing some Savlon for his burns! Not one but two threads in your honour!
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
Lol burns from what? You just ignore all of the refutations The ban list only includes those countries because it's the Obama list! And they said more countries will be added. That's just step 1 of week 1. Also you just disproved your point about the Muslim ban lol! Not all Muslim countries...so not a Muslim ban. xD https://i.redd.it/jh4nz1fm48dy.png
And you mention Homophobia....ummm? Trump is the FIRST President in US history to support LGBT rights and gay marriage while entering office. Not even Obama did. https://s3.amazonaws.com/lifesite/fbjkt2.jpg
Also are you aware that those countries listed do not support gay marriage and are intolerant to those things you listed?? T_T https://i.redd.it/8qcn79cij9dy.jpg
I'm almost ashamed because I'm not really updated with everything Blair did, besides a lot of unlawful stuff that made him rich. And I know he was kind of admired at first, but nowadays hated by the British people. I really should read up more about his deeds.
That's quite interesting isn't it?
It is! He's got HUGE interests, especially in in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE and Turkey; http://i.imgur.com/SCZMhqG.png The four countries are where Donald Trump's companies poke around. Hotel projects, luxurious skyscrapers and golf courses.
But no one says a word about Saudi Arabia, a country which in "normal" cases is associated with terrorism. For example, fifteen of the terrorists involved in 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia. (So they say)
But since the day they began drilling for oil in those regions, they won't get a ban whatsoever. Instead he's (and every president since the first drill of oil, in all honesty) kisses Saudi Arabia's ass. I know I've posted this before, but it's fun to compare what Wesley Clark said about the aftermath of 9/11 and it was definitely not Obama, but George W. Bush who ordered the SEVEN countries, for the sake of the oil, not terrorism; "Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan... and finishing off with Iran"; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RC1Mepk_Sw
Now compare those countries to what Carrot posted; https://i.redd.it/jh4nz1fm48dy.png So they exchanged Lebanon since they don't bother Israel as much, for Yemen.
No, we certainly haven't progressed much, and it's sad really. I've also always thought that our generation would be the easy going, friendly and not judgemental towards minorities. Some countries have though, but definitely not the US. I believe that the biggest threat for Trump won't come from the outside of its border, but the resistance within the government, with Trump attacking the foundation of democracy.
Two threads in my honour? I've only seen one. Am I the one eating burgers? Well, then I have to disappoint him, I rarely do. Talk about ultimately pointless, next time he behaves like a maniac, he's on ignore.

Him having business in the countries mentioned is criticism, yes. Didn't you read what Dazed quoted?

Thousands, by contrast, have died at the hands of citizens from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt – none of which is covered. Their exclusion has led to much speculation in the American media that President Trump has exempted places where he has business interests.
Hillary has skyscrapers, golf course and luxury hotels in these countries? I don't think so. I have no doubts whatsoever that Hillary makes a lot of money in maybe not in the best way, but like Trump? No way.
In December 2015, President Obama signed into law a measure placing limited restrictions on certain travelers who had visited Iran, Iraq, Sudan, or Syria on or after March 1, 2011. Two months later, the Obama administration added Libya, Somalia, and Yemen to the list, in what it called an effort to address "the growing threat from foreign terrorist fighters."
The restrictions specifically limited what is known as visa-waiver travel by those who had visited one of the seven countries within the specified time period. People who previously could have entered the United States without a visa were instead required to apply for one if they had traveled to one of the seven countries.
Under the law, dual citizens of visa-waiver countries and Iran, Iraq, Sudan, or Syria could no longer travel to the U.S. without a visa. Dual citizens of Libya, Somalia, and Yemen could, however, still use the visa-waiver program if they hadn't travelled to any of the seven countries after March 2011. Trump's order is much broader. It bans all citizens from those seven countries from entering the U.S. and leaves green card holders subject to being rescreened after visiting those countries.
When I went to the US there was no Visa Waiver Program and I had to get one. My brother in law who's registered in Vänsterpartiet had big troubles getting a visa at all when my sister and he applied. Argentina's membership was abolished in 2002 (under Bush) when the country's financial crisis made the Americans fear a wave of economical of refugees to the US. Uruguay's membership was abolished in 2003 because of similar reasons.
Nevertheless, it STILL wasn't Obama who invented the concept of the "seven countries", it STILL is George W. Bush after 9/11, and will remain that way. Doesn't matter how much you're trying to twist it to Trump's advantage. Prince of Persia or not.
Apologise... to you, my personal stalker, who's attacking me by making personal threads about me on the board? I don't think so. And I don't apologise to any of Trump's rabid fans. And from now on Carrot, you're on ignore. Enough is enough.

Speaking of Australians, do you believe they'll be bringing back Guy Ritchie for A:C?
There's a rumour he's in it but I can't see how or why he would be
That's indeed Spanish but in Portuguese it's almost identical: "Sexo, drogas e rock n' roll".
Speaking of rock n' roll, I'm trying to learn to play the guitar but it's not going very well. According to a friend, I have two left hands and I lack humility.
I suspected that is was Spanish and the e is important!
I'm sure you're doing just fine with the guitar. At least one left hand made Paul McCartney really good! You lack humility, what the heck are you doing? Hammering on the guitar, or just an impatient pupil?
You really only have to learn 6 as in; C, D, E, F, G and A. If you want to go further which I'm sure you want, add -m (minor) and -7 (major).
And if you know Am, C, D, F, E and E7, you'll be able to play "The House of the Rising Sun"! 🎸 Åh, and most of Evert Taube's beautiful songs too!
I forgot an important piece of context: I'm left handed. For all practical purposes, though, I kind of lack coordination with either hands. For instance, I can only hold a guitar in the same way a right handed person would do. You would expect a left handed to invert the guitar, but I can't. So that's the joke: I'm left handed with two left hands. .
That's tricky, you're not the science's Nadal, with a guitar. Maybe you should practice because you're obviously not ambidextrous. My father had a hint of that, though he wrote with his right. I think I've got some of it, because when I'm in the loo, I use my left hand, ha. Which probably had more to do with that the toilet paper-holder was placed on the left when I grew up.
Maybe you could pretend that your girlfriend is a guitar (shapes and all) and play on her strings... "Honey, close your eyes... Can you feel which hand I'm using now?"
You're asking me about Star Trek? That's the same as asking me what size Harry's shoes have. But where is Spock? But okay, judging by the names I'll go with;

Who the f is Archer? Is he the Star Trek villain? I don' think Skarsgård Sr. ever was in Star Trek. Or the guy from Bond. Okay, take him down a couple of notches, as long as Deckard is first.

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line, Engines pumping and thumping in time. The green light flashes, the flags go up. Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup. They deftly manoeuvre and muscle for rank, Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns. Their prowess is potent and secretly stern. As they speed through the finish, the flags go down. The fans get up and they get out of town. The arena is empty except for one woman, Still driving and striving as fast as she can. The sun has gone down and the moon has come up, And long ago somebody left with the cup. But she's driving and striving and hugging the turns. And thinking of someone for whom she still burns.
He's going the distance He's going for speed She's all alone In her time of need
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse He's going the distance No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine He's haunted by something he cannot define Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse The sun has gone down and the moon has come up And long ago somebody left with the cup But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns And thinking of someone for whom he still burns
Cause she's going the distance. She's going for speed. He's all alone In his time of need. Because she's racing and pacing and plotting the course, She's fighting and biting and riding on her horse. She's racing and pacing and plotting the course, She's fighting and biting and riding on her horse. She's going the distance. She's going for speed. She's going the distance. She's going for 3 (Hundred!)
I remember being told by the Motion Picture Association of America and F.A.C.T. that piracy funded terrorism and so maybe if you skint your head and look at it sideways whilst blindfolded...it [c]could[/i], maybe in a weird abstract way be true in the mind of a conspiracy theorist
At first I thought it was just for fun that young folks were doing it but then I started to realize they kind of believe in it. And, obviously, they won't listen to you, no matter what.
I quite enjoy reading about conspiracy theories especially in movies.
We had a poster on the Manhunter board back in the day,who believed that the film was full of secret codes and that the author was anti semitic and had written his hatred of the Jews into his stories! Then the Shutter Island board had a small gang of Teddy is Teddy (TiT) nuts led by their glorious leader and followed by the likes of Asphyxiod,who was every bit as charming there as he was here.The No Country for Old Men had several nuts too.

I like when movies are presented with enough layers to have different people with different experiences and outlooks share things they would otherwise have missed just on their own.
It usually all comes down to the director taking a good story and being an auteur at upgrading it into cinema.
Other times though people are so limited and don't see the obvious. Tom Hardy's movie Locke is a stupendous example of 'movie buffs' 'not getting it' even though it couldn't have been more obvious.
Yes absolutely and one of the positives of the message boards for me was learning things I hadn't seen before and sometimes just reading the nutty interpretations for the laugh.
I read a really funny fan interpretation of Steely Dan's Haitian Divorce song a while back.
I don't know that movie Locke,will look it up later must go to work now!

Whatever David puts in his mouth has to come out somewhere else. I'm sure he farts and has a mean body odor, just so the rest of the crew won't feel uneasy around him...
Depends on the age of the kids; If we're talking cartoons The Secret Life of Pets is a fun rumble or you could marathon the Kung Fu Panda movies.
If they are bit older bore them with Jaws or E.T. - the foundations for emotional modern movies are generally attributed to around then.
If Teens...it gets tricky, they generally know what they want and it's not always worthwhile. Maybe throw a light horror at them like Lights Out (2016) or The Village (2004) (Very different types of horror but both easy on the brain).
They're 2 and 4 so cartoons are probably best. I tried searching for Secret life of Pets but couldn't find it in Swedish so I probably have to go with some older releases. Thanks anyways.
"Bra du sa..." as I would've replied to you in Swedish. Of course it was you.
To be honest, I had no idea what Cake was; "the band has been noted for McCrea's sarcastic lyrics and monotone vocals" well, that much I'll agree, I like the text though.
Some posts have been deleted in this thread ( En skitstövel av något annat namn är alltid en skitstövel) so we have some ground to make up!
I'd never heard of cake either! I do like cake though, do you?
At Christmas I made a vegan chocolate mousse BUT I also made a white chocolate and Oreo cheesecake. Not technically a cake I suppose.
I think Holloway might have liked some Christmas cake to go with his presents though. The good thing is Christmas cake would have survived the trip to LV-whatever it was,they're supposed to be better with age.God knows it couldn't taste worse!

Ain't that the truth! You're getting really good at Swedish, vi kanske ska fortsätta att snacka svenska här... and maybe Ray will finally get his sweet behind in here!
I just checked the thread and as far as I can see, there are two who have deleted their posts. The first is AJ, because FLD is the only one replying with c.nts and the usual stuff, haha. But this makes me actually laugh, not sure why delete a post when, the reply was this; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/board/thread/264585330?p=5&d=265704271#265704271 Not sure what he's hiding...
I do like cake, don't eat it very often but the French chocolate cake is a favourite. Your vegan chocolate mousse cake sound delicious! But first I didn't get why it was vegan, until I realised that a vegan cake doesn't allow eggs, right? And are Oreos replacing the digestive biscuits? To me, whatever is baked is a cake(d), ha.
That's true! If Holloway had got some Christmas cake, he wouldn't have been so pissed and acted like a kid, and he wouldn't have drunk David's spiked drink. Jeez, maybe Prometheus would've a whole different storyline. Or David would've put it in the 2 years old cake... 🍰

So Harry has betrayed us,he said he'd kept all his posts in this thread! Was he embarrassed by whatever he did with kukapetal? Oh my!
I can't believe that thread is still around by the way.
Ah I see the confusion,the chocolate mousse was for the vegans (my son in law) and was made with silken tofu and cocoa and dark chocolate (fairly traded of course ).The Oreo cheesecake was full of really,really bad stuff! 2packs of Oreos,cream cheese,whipped cream a huge amount of white chocolate and we all really enjoyed it!

I betrayed nobody, there's even a post in this very thread from the past couple of days which told everyone that I accidentally lost a couple here when cleaning up because the thread title kept changing and when I was reviewing my posts for deletion it got overlooked - minimal though, around six and I've more than made up for them since then
I want 500 here before we go, I know we can do it
As for Kukapetal and I, I think we had weird BDSM threesome cybersex in front of a whole bunch of progressive feminists claiming that dominant men were the enemy - it was good

I can't remember which board it was but it wasn't here and there was this big debate on how men should be more considerate but respectful of a woman's independence and the like and everyone was posting agreeing that men are too vile, vulgar or vicious in their actions and I just decided that I'm having none of it, as I've known many women in my time, and straight out was this overbearing dominant beast of a man for the sake of proving otherwise.
It ended up with some apparent girl (Who I can't remember) and Kukapetal eventually being my sex slaves and we did all the dirties in front of everyone and nobody complained whatsoever but rather gave marks for pervert form and applauded us on - despite their earlier remarks.
Not something I generally go for but it worked an absolute treat and proved the point that both you and I know - there's nothing wrong with fantasy and stop castrating those who you would wish to be with, as Kukapetal said; you can't tame the wind
I think it might have been a backlash to the 50 Shades of Grey movie on a general board, however it was shown that not only are people with one opinion happy to be a voyeur, they are happy to comment upon what they are spying on too
Harry apparently betrayed no one... and only by accident deleted the posts... Well, I'll buy that, but only because it's 10 days left on this damn site. But what he and Kuka did, I think I actually recall the BDSM conversation, except for the threesome and "progressive feminists" who supposedly were there... Kaskait, you and I? I love men!
No, it wasn't really a confusion about the chocolate mousse and the Oreo cheesecake, it was kind of two questions. Meaning you switched the digestives to Oreos, not the Swedish mackerel version though! But it sounds absolutely delicious!
If you were there Beja you'd know that I was taking the piss and being an Übermensch for the sake of winding up those poor men and women. There certainly was a threesome and I even found myself a little aroused by the silliness of it all (Not sexually, but flabbergasted at how it all worked out so well)
Very odd that you've placed yourself alongside kaskait in a manner of appreciation verging on potential sexual conduct and me.
I've also done that but you'll have to wait and see how
(It's coincidence to do with hair colour and two character who happen to be lesbian lovers - but still )

I honestly can't remember what was said... at all. All I know was that you and Kuka and someone else talked BDSM, nothing else. But I'm certain of that you got a hard something something, but only in the right part of your brain.

You silly bugger, I meant that Kaskait, Dazed and I were "the bunch" of progressive feminists listening, not part of your threesome, since we are the only three females regulars on this board. Wishful... something, no I didn't think so...

No, neither do I. I guess everything is wiped once they're closing down. But for those who want to screen capture something, I guess they've already have. I've only "FastStone" some of my own posts, posts with facts I just want to remember and mostly on the Millennium Trilogy boards.
But something is happening on Facebook, because last night I got a request from a newly created account, a Micah Phillip, an American widower born in Florida, but who now lives in Kabul , dressed as Santa! Merry Christmas!
But I've also have had this request; https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100014094730006&fref=jewel And if you check his profile, he works in the US Army and there are photos where he gives a speech in a uniform completely covered with medals. So he seems to be highly "ranked" and how the hell did he find me?! So last night I did a Tineye reverse image and what happened? Well, up pops this man; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gainey WTF?!
I blame it on the Needham guy! Damn! Or... With the risk of being repetitive, but I got to have me some ☕
That's strange.How do you have your privacy settings? I think I have mine so that only friends of friends can make friend requests. If yours is the same then these two requests must be from people who know existing friends.Does it say that either have mutual friends.
The second chap,well that's bizarre.Is he passing himself of as a war hero? I have no idea what a reverse image check is!
At least neither is in Syria
Of course proceed with caution!
It wouldn't take much for me to give up Facebook at the moment! Everyday its,sick kids,inspirational quotes or competitions.
Sir Guy Grand-I like school of Rembrandt Youngman Grand-St.Rembrandt's high
I think I've got the same settings as you. Most of the people who I'm friends with on FB, I know personally. Besides you, Ray, Robert and the SATC women. But I honestly haven't bothered to check, but I guess not, since the "The Man from A-L.-R.A.Q.Q.A.H"... whatever. I'll check it.
But no, no mutual friends, in fact there's no friends on any of the accounts, they are as empty as this board will be soon enough. No friends, no photos, no nothing. Yes, Dennis seems to like wars, haha... jeez. I think Tineye first came up with when Facebookgate was on the agenda; https://www.tineye.com/ where you can check if your photo (for example) is posted somewhere else.
But Kabul is as bad as Syria! And this widower living there, did he sent his wife into the Afghanistan war, or what?! He looks like he's 35 or something. Oh, well. FB is tiresome, I pop in, maybe once a day, mostly late but all these inspirational quotes makes me want to hurl, seriously. Enjoy your Cava tonight! 🍷
Well... yeah, no war zones, but dressed in a camouflage sweater, a brand new account and also a widower. From Asheville (or Assville? Not sure) in the US, wherever that is. From the photos, it looks like a swamp in Louisiana.
But It feels good to have such gravity on sad men, without being Bullock and having a space ship. I've now changed my settings so the only one who can ask to be "a friend", is me and myself. Oh, and Irene.
