Weird News Stories / Re: don't mention the V-word.....
Last post by zombie no.one - Today at 08:32:43 PMQuote from: claws on Today at 03:19:08 PMQuote from: zombie no.one on Today at 03:11:41 AMI suppose a take away from this is that it's not the actual audible formation of the word itself which is offensive, because every time you say the word 'vinegar' you are literally saying that word, and yet nobody (at least nobody sane) bats an eyelid.
ditto every time you say the word 'country' you are technically turning the airwaves blue.
so ultimately all the controversy is 100% about the semantics behind words, rather than the actual words themselves.
maybe that's a very obvious and self evident point to make? feel like it often gets lost in all the surrounding commotion though....
The exhausting part is the current 'edge culture' that thrives on this exact technicality. There's a specific type of person who loves to play with phonetic proximity, using words like 'vinegar' with a metaphorical wink, just to see how close they can get to a slur without 'technically' crossing the line.
They treat language like a game of 'I'm not touching you,' pushing boundaries specifically to provoke a reaction, then retreating into 'it's just a word' when they get called out.
do you think this guy had a case then, and they were deliberately leaving vinegar near him as a trolling attempt?... I mean, it's hard to avoid bottles of vinegar around the place in a pub that serves pub food!

Not classic tracks, but 90s revival stuff from mostly Italian bands. Still cool (even the lame tracks, like the uptempo Hammond organ version of the "Odd Couple" theme, are pretty cool).

Last post by chainsaw midget - Today at 05:01:45 PMQuoteMr Lafeuillee even went into the kitchen at one point during this incident and 'clapped or clicked his fingers at staff, shouted at them across the floor in front of guests and when he found that the steak was not to his liking, started shouting loudly, saying that he was not going to pay'.
Yeah ... that guy just sounds like a bundle of joy right there, one of those people that goes through life looking to start fights with others.
They pretty much should have told him to leave and not come back right there. It's bad enough when random customers do that to people, actual employees... no. just no.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by lester1/2jr - Today at 04:18:14 PMThe Clones (1973) - kind of a like a superhero movie without the superhero. I was on the fence a bit, but ended up enjoying this one. It has an extremely low google viewer approval rating and to say reviews are mixed would be an understatement.
A scientist is cloned. The whole movie is him escaping the evil cloning corporation guys and also trying to alert his girlfriend that the guy she's sleeping with is his clone, not him. Receding hairline cop and his Muhammad Ali ish partner endlessly fire bad shots and people always try to inject him (the scientist) with stuff. Eventually, the action leads to a showdown at an empty amusement park. Somehow, all the rides still work but there's no one there.
In a way, it's a conspiracy movie, but much better ones would come along. What I liked most was that if it had been made in, say, 1979 I think it would have had a lot more extraneous dialogue and cop show energy. Definitely had more of a relaxed vibe, script wise. The actually kind of hot girlfriend could have been featured better.
3.75 /5 I could handle seeing it again. low budget, but they worked everything out okay.
