Against the grain

I don't watch edited movies on TV. I'm surprised how many people actually don't mind watching edited movies on TV because it's "free" and "happens to be on".
I enjoy movies too much to see some censored version.

I tend to agree, but the editing can sometimes add a whole extra level of fun, of the same kind you get from a really bad movie. Of course, it has to be a movie with a lot of swearing, the dubbed words have to make little or no sense, and the changes must be so conspicuous that they sound ridiculous and almost emphasize the words they're supposed to cover up. Really obvious and really bad.

Repo Man was like that when it was getting aired frequently on A&E. "Flip you, melonfarmer!" I seriously had a hard time choosing which I liked better, unedited or badly edited.

While I agree with claws' post ideologically, I can't deny I like the ring of "Flip you, melonfarmer!"

I generally avoid TV movies (since I generally avoid TV), but when I know a movie well and I know that it doesn't meet TV's standards, I kind of enjoy trying to guess just what they're going to cut out. I still remember watching a bit of "Return of the Living Dead" when it was aired in the middle of the day on Christmas. As soon as I got over the "what the heck?" moment, I sat down and started guessing at just how much of the gore they were going to cut out for a mid-day broadcast.

Turns out they left quite a bit of it in. Of course the nude dancing had to go, but most of the gore (which was more plot-related anyway) stayed.

I dispute the fact that swimming is the easiest exercise- I say walking is!

Depends on the condition of your joints.

Yeah, my joints are always ruined when I accidentally take them with me swimming!

I like The Big Bang Theory.  It makes me laugh.

I hate winter jackets. I avoid them as long as I can.  I'm the lunatic you see walking in the cold wearing a tshirt.  Its just something I can't stand about going into a store wearing one and sweating my @ss off.

Same here.  We got hit with that Snowmageddon storm last winter..had like, 30 some odd inches of snow in 12 hours or something.  My dumb ass is walking to the store in shorts, a t-shirt and I think a hoodie as a jacket.

Yet, it's 100 degrees outside and I wear pants and a hoodie and thermal shirt.

I'm pretty firmly set in my ways when it comes to dressing for outside, which means I seldom wear a light jacket. I get used to dressing for either the warm or the cold, and don't usually get around to changing until the weather has swung all the way from one to the other. I go out without a coat until the temperature starts dipping toward freezing on a regular basis, and I go straight from no coat to a heavy one. I will then most likely go out in my winter coat until some point in April or May when I don't need a coat at all. I like my routine, I don't like to think about what I'm going to wear, and I'm comfortable in a pretty wide temperature range. I don't really notice the heat or cold until it gets really hot or really cold.

Right now, I don't really even own a decent light jacket. I think about buying one every spring and fall, but usually so late I decide there's no point in spending the money on something I might only need for a week or two.
