I think being stalked by Ned would be beneficial, he'd probably just threaten that you listen to some good neo-shoegazer acts, OR ELSE.

"Andrew Weinstein, a spokesman for Netscape, reiterated the fact CNN itself had nothing to do with the slur. He says the Netscape employee responsible has been fired.

"A junior employee at Netscape identified two election photos with image tags that used inappropriate, disparaging terms," Weinstein told WorldNetDaily. "As soon as the situation was discovered, it was immediately corrected, and the employee has been terminated." "

Oh, left wing bloggers break story of this girl, who is editor of Farrago, as one of those liberal types posing as greens on election day. They find her blog and it really is quite offensive/hilarious - homophobia, rascism with a dollop of bridget jones.

This chick, Miranda Airey-Branson (for real, mang) lashes out against one of the bloggers who have been poking fun and gets Andrew Bolt to write a character assassination piece on her.

alexlewblogspot.com -> Miranda's new blog with her mates.
reasonsyouwillhateme.blogspot.com -> Marieke Hardy, the blogger Miranda got Bolt to write about.

For the record, Miranda wrote a fawning interview with Andrew Bolt for Farrago last year describing him as 'sexy'.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Sunday, 7 November 2004 02:20 (twenty-one years ago)

So wait, Ms. Airey-Branson didn't deny she was being a homophobic racist?

andrew bolt is sexy? that makes me feel a bit queasy. is the herald sun column online?

he's such an arse. i think he manages to insert "also backed by taxpayer's money" into every column. i'm convinced his entire life is dedicated to avenging himself for a left-leaning arts student refusing to shag him when he was at uni and put the hard word on her. *vomits*

BTW Abyss kinda sucked anyway, Jim. They STILL PLAY THE SAME MUSIC. I can't believe it. "Personal Jesus", Manson, NIN, Tool, etc. Dom says he got asked by someone "are you new to Melb, never seen you here before" which was hilarious (we used to go to abyss every week years and years ago... bloody babygoths). Nick got very very very very drunk and was being hilariously loud.

Then he had to go to work the next day with a monster hangover. That'll learn him.

trouble is you have to wait til its dark when they have left the roof and then you have to nail in a really sturdy bit of wood over the hole then you have to lie in bed and listen to them get frantic trying to get back into their lifelong home.

then you have to hold your breath as you hear them staggering away crying.

Ah, fair enough. I wouldn't be caught dead living in St Kilda proper.

I know people who used to live right in St Kilda, and they had to move because random prostitutes would 'serve' their clients on the front lawn.

Trayce: Yeah, definitely. East/Balaclava is awesome. 'Er indoors grew up here and she doesn't want to move either, it's too perfect here.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 8 November 2004 04:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I have to repaste this here - Nick wrote this about this mornings bird drama. I was suprised at how funny it came out. Boy's a comedian.

Wow, that was certainly the most interesting morning off I've had in a while.

Sitting in the lap of luxury, I was served a loverly breakfast in bed, followed by a light nap. All seemed well, until I was woken by a brown and white blur flying through the room with kitty in tow, who for all intents and purposes was flying aswell.

In my rush to discover what coffee-colored menace so rudely interrupted my bliss, I engaged with a one on one with doona, to which a braver battle had never been fought. I feel I came out on top, even if I did roll off the bed in the process, but I had subdued one of the two feathered beasts that was now making my morning such a misery.

Kitty leapt around the room like the floor was made of lava, desperatly grabbing at air and absorbing a face-full of wall, while the propogator sat stressed upon the blinds, a wild fear embracing it's eyes.

A bloody finch, of all creatures, had lead to the destruction of a once wonderful sanctuary filled with sleep and all it's benefits.

My mind had clicked; I was no longer a normal boy from the suburbs, but I had the agility, adrenaline and mindset of a cro-magnon hunter. Thusly, I screamed like a girl and ran out of the room attempting to brush the menace from my hair in a frenzied fashion and closing the door behind me.

Unwittingly, I had trapped both hunter and hunted in the same enclosure. Realising my mistake, I opened the door and was dutifully greeted by a face full of bird and a crotch-full of mid-leap kitty. I swerved like a hong-kong cop with nothing left to lose, as if I was avoiding the bullet that should have my name imprinted on the side. However, due to my fantastic lack of coordination, I met the doorframe in a spectacular display of style.

Now two homewreckers were loose in the living room, one desperate to kill, one desperate to survive. And then there was me, snapping up the phone and locking myself in the bedroom in what I felt was the most manly of all descisions. I called Trayce yelling blue murder. Still in cro-magnon mode, all I could get out were vague points of interest about my current situation, pieced together in a reasonably logical manner.

"BIRD! KITTY! IN HOUSE! HELP!"

Alas, the phone, my last resort in this time of need, died by my ear. Thankfully, it was granted a second life, as seconds later it burst into song. Answering, I found that Trayce was certainly more level-headed about the situation than I, and suggested I actually pick up the darn cat and seperate the purpetrators of the problem. I carefully trotted out to the kitchen to see a bird perched, almost naturally, on the coffee-making gizmo. It was hopping around like an excited ninja student, while its predator sat idly on the ground with a fierce stare that could make objects explode. After a moments hesitation, I snagged the furry meatbag and slammed her in the bedroom. The look on her face was all I needed to know about what she was planning to do to me, my friends and my family. Not a happy kitty.

Now, I thought the task would be easy; Bag the bird and set it free. However, now this sordid game of cat and... err... bird, had turned into a game of "Find the damned thing and get rid of it before it shits everywhere". After a quick scan of the area, I found a fluffy lump nestled neatly behind the microwave. Strange how this machine, this cooker of birds had now become a sanctuary for this bird equivalent of Tiny Tim.

Gently poking bread at it, I tried to entice it out, but bird was happy in his spot, lying on his side, looking like he'd set up camp for the night. It was now time to call the RSPCA, now the situation had been defused, but there was a new problem. The cat was now spitefully guarding the room that contained the pages of yellow. Once again, I faced that furry face at full speed, running in and out with the tome I required.

Upon calling, I discovered there was in fact no menu button for "OMFG BIRD IN HOUSE HELP PLZ", much to my dismay. After holding for an operator, and being reassured how important my call was, my call was answered by a person of some gender who sounded like they put my cigarette abuse to shame. After retelling my story in excrutiating detail, the person on the other end seemed more interested in the cat.

"Is it yours? How is it? Is it a fluffy meatbag?"

I only answered with a capitalised directional point that the bird, in fact, was the problem.

"BIRD!"

I was redirected to someone of more use. Or, at least, someone who had more experience dealing with people who spoke only in single word sentences.

This persons croaky voice and phlegm-filled lungs had triggered my addiciton once again, and as I lent down to retrieve my 'happy sticks', my oversized cheekbone thwarted my hastily concocted plan by pressing the button of which did hang up the phone.

"Bugger", I thought aloud.

I called back, trying to remember which department I was being redirected to. I succeeded, and when the hold music subsided, I was reassured I was not alone in my confusion in the situation.

"Oh my god, what the hell? Get a towel!"

I wasn't planning on hitchiking anytime soon, so the towel comment seemed somewhat uncontextual. However, I soon learning that towels appear to possess a magical property that disables a birds ability to fly, so I rushed into the bathroom and grabbed the fluffy bird-stopper... the one WITHOUT claws.

All seemed to be going well, until I returned to the kitchen to find the bird, who was previously behind the microwave, had moved its position to the top of the blinds, out of towels reach. In a moment of desperation, I flung the towel menacingly, and the bird got a new burst of strength, flying at full force into the living room wall. I persued, bathroom apparel in hand, a sense of purpose in my mind. I flung open the balcony door and retracted the blinds. Birds freedom was now only a step away! Alas, he seemed more interested in the window, of which he flew into. Lesson learned, he tried a different approach; flying into the window harder. Confused by modern technology, he sat bewildered on a pile of clothes, staring at the glass, waiting for it to let down its guard.

With my superior brain, I realised this was not going to happen. I lunged the towel in birds general direction, and distressed by the flowing torrent of white which threatened to limit his freedom, he made a desperate defensive move towards the door and flew outside.

I slammed the door shut, raising my arms in victory, and releasing the house lion to come and inspect all that she had lost. Bird had won this round, although to this day I doubt he even knows how he did.

This story has been in my family for generations, passed down from father to son to pet.... and now to you. Tell it to your children, so that they may too act like a sissy whenever a tiny finch does penetrate their fortress.

Today, I am a man.

Trayce, the burning's all gone, so I'm doing a very very very very very cautious time in a very very very very very very weak bed. The idea behind all this is to help prevent me getting skin cancers in Cairns [I sweat sunscreen off ffs], not to go all bronzy and plastic fantastic. I'm not into that sort of thing.

Oh breaking news! It's just went from black screen to test pattern. It's an exciting night here is Brisbane.

― king of the eyesores (papa november), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 11:05 (twenty years ago)

Can you make sure Brisbane is still exciting next week?

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 11:05 (twenty years ago)

Hehehe, Brisbane is never exciting.

Can you make sure Melbourne is exciting for me on the 23rd through til the 31st of December?

― king of the eyesores (papa november), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 11:07 (twenty years ago)

No, because I'm in Canberra.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 11:09 (twenty years ago)

Not that I could do that even if I were in Melbourne.

Heh, i just figure everyone is from Sydney or Melbourne. I thought I was the only interloper.

Don't bother making Canberra exciting for me, I shant be dropping by any time soon.

― king of the eyesores (papa november), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 11:12 (twenty years ago)

Like it can be made exciting. I moved here from Brisbane in January and I was amazed that it was just as dull as people said.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 11:13 (twenty years ago)

If it's dull compared to Brisbane it must really suck

The last time I went to Canberra was like the 1989 Summer Nats or something with my Da'. Now that was dull.

Team Deathcrush vs. gabbneb/Meeder '08
Armament: Two .357 hollow points loaded into a revolver
The two teams are seated at a card table under a single 40-watt lamp which hangs in the center of the darkened ring. Mr. Meeder, positively sickened by his teammate's perverse assumptions concerning American polity, reaches for the gun and puts it up to gabbneb's head. He pulls the trigger. No joy. Sami, in a fit of excitement to the point of drooling, snatches the weapon from Colin's hand and puts it into his own mouth, yanking the trigger repeatedly until he gets lucky. Now spattered with the blood and tissue of his overeager comrade, Janne thinks quick. He retrieves the pistol and aims it at the two stalwart liberals, hoping for a draw. The second bullet makes short work of Colin's cardiovascular apparatus, leaving Janne and gabbneb to stare at one another through the haze as "Lovefool" begins playing over the stadium loudspeaker and the collective sanity at the table erodes to nothing.

Victory: Karlsson/gabbneb '08

-- TOMBOT (roun...) (webmail), November 16th, 2004.

Suprisingly really that Janne and Sami didn't make a necklace out of coiln meeder's bone fragments.

here? many things. anything and everything.

my flat is now all nicely repaired and repainted. the green wall so lovingly painted by my ex is now white again. i kinda preferred it green but i ain't living there no more so it's irrelevant to me really.

i've said it before and i'll say it again: moving records is one of the biggest drags in the world.

Do you keep them in milk crates?

― Adamdrome Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 22:22 (twenty years ago)

nar. that would be handyish though. they're a pain because they get very heavy very quickly so you can only use small boxes.

i find milkcrates millimetres too small. they scuff and slightly bend the corners of lp covers.

i have a horrible creeping suspicion i may not be able to use DSL at my new house. my dialup speeds are awful and the line keeps dropping out.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 18 November 2004 01:41 (twenty years ago)

― king of the eyesores (papa november), Thursday, 18 November 2004 01:57 (twenty years ago)

there's a godawful hum on the line which i'm sure is affecting the speed. i don't know if it will affect the DSL or not, i'm hoping it won't... worst comes to worst i'll get a new line installed, it's cheaper than paying out my contract.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 18 November 2004 02:00 (twenty years ago)

You should get it fixed free, shouldn't you? If the line is faulty [which evidently it is]?

― Adamdrome Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 18 November 2004 02:06 (twenty years ago)

More'n likely it would affect DSL - you would have to get a new line installed yeah. I cant see why Telstra should charge for that if the line was faulty, maybe your landlord should wear the cost? Not sure if that would fly.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 18 November 2004 02:07 (twenty years ago)

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 18 November 2004 02:42 (twenty years ago)

I think even Canada has a system whereby you only get the dole for a limited time, and IIRC it is in proportion to how long you worked your last job. So the longer you were there the more time you got dole. At least thats what my canadian ex told me.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 18 November 2004 02:49 (twenty years ago)

Nah, mum and dad are over visiting my sister who lives there with her mexican born husband.

They're due back in a couple of weeks. So far they've purchased all manner of things for us kids left behind including a kickass electric violin for my brother (I think he wants to be Miri Ben-Ari) and those mad shoes I posted an images of a few days back.

My father has also apparently purchased a late-model chev which he may or may not bring back with him.

― bulbs (bulbs), Thursday, 18 November 2004 04:00 (twenty years ago)

no iron on transfer. maybe that's why it was cheap? the soulwax is a good pop record. red sun band = sydney trio, like very early pj harvey with a slightly dreamier edge. i don't think it's very well produced, unfortunately..

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 18 November 2004 04:13 (twenty years ago)

Nah and some of the lyrics are pretty shocking. Have you ever seen them live James. Theres something she does with the delay on her vocals that I can't quite figure out and have wondered a number of times if you could pull it apart for me.

― god made dirt and dirt bust ass (papa november), Thursday, 18 November 2004 04:15 (twenty years ago)

i've seen them twice, the second time the sound was so shocking it wasn't funny, and the to my chagrin guy mixing them was someone who had mixed us many times.. i don't remember anything particular about the sound of the vocals tho'...

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 18 November 2004 04:22 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm..I've seen twice at the Zoo and the sound was spot on. I just can't think of how to describe what it is she does but it sounds wonderful.

― god made dirt and dirt bust ass (papa november), Thursday, 18 November 2004 04:23 (twenty years ago)

it would not be hard to have a dreamier edge than early pj harvey. ac/dc have a dreamier edge than that stuff.

snap! i just had a bath with me 3 yr old. now i hav the brane medicine.

hows the place?

― bulbs (bulbs), Friday, 19 November 2004 09:11 (twenty years ago)

it's good! all cluttered at the moment as i have no built-in shelving/cupboard space for my crap (other than in the kitchen obv) but it's motivating me to have a cleanout. i love not having such close neighbours and the north beats the south hands down.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Friday, 19 November 2004 09:17 (twenty years ago)

i don't know melb at all. is it a similar divide to the syd one?

― bulbs (bulbs), Friday, 19 November 2004 09:19 (twenty years ago)

not entirely sure. the south is mainly wankers and the north has a few less wankers

sydney
= north = old family based rich cunts and their sprogs
= south = new business based rich cunts, gays, indie kids from private schools, retirees in city flats.

today i built a barbeque and a bookshelf, and a table too.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Saturday, 20 November 2004 06:17 (twenty years ago)

a barbeque????

what did you build these things from jim? and have you a yard?

― bulbs (bulbs), Saturday, 20 November 2004 06:37 (twenty years ago)

a modest yard. i built them from their consituent parts, so it really wasn't all that impressive. but i can have barbeques now! which is nice.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Saturday, 20 November 2004 06:43 (twenty years ago)

we have a barby. the placement is built of sandstone. the actual barbeque is old and grease encrusted. only 2 of the burners have knobs. buying replacement knobs is more difficult than i would have thought.

― bulbs (bulbs), Saturday, 20 November 2004 07:22 (twenty years ago)

I could put a bbq on me balcony, but I fear it would piss off mrs upstairs bitch. Which now I think about it is a good thing. Still.

I have indoctrinated Nick into Bab 5 and he loves it now haha. we just rented out a whole set of vids. Plus the Day After Tomorrow which we're about to watch.

I didnt care much for my job in the end, but the one thing I'll give my almost 6 years here is the amount of shit I've learnt how to do. Everythign from general pot plant helpdesk work, to privisioning/data entry, to customer support, to basic networking and router skillz, web hosting knowledge, biz analyst stuff, and some tech writing. So I think I can whack out a fair "I can do THIS!" kind of resume.

i suppose it was me! it's interesting, i was told by different people that having a poor quality dialup line and being on optus as my carrier would mean my DSL wouldn't work at all. they were wrong on both counts.

I honestly did think that if yr line was full-service optus then telstra would refuse to hook it up, unless it was with big pond. Some really shitty dodgy thing like that anyway. Maybe they do that but only with some wholesalers (like us for eg). I dont know, I provision dsl but the whole damn thing confuses me.

True - and there are more in that series from the same band that are just as funny.

So I reckon we just play it straight, like we're not trying to be funny or anything - straight black metal grimacing for the camera, in a selection of clothes, with Rachael applying the corpsepaint. I mean, like Vas's photo, that was inspirational. We can then photoshop ourselves into a variety of necrocvltic settings, like Punchbowl RSL.

See the Demtel Cumcuber is the machine which makes the cubes. But how does this machine work?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 25 November 2004 02:07 (twenty years ago)

these ideas definitely have market potential

alcoholic carbonated piss with spoof icecubes. other potential products in our range might be?

― bulbs (bulbs), Thursday, 25 November 2004 02:13 (twenty years ago)

do you really need any other products once you've got that one to point of sale? surely that one is likely to overwhelm the entire alcopop market?

I was thinking of some small snack to go with them

― bulbs (bulbs), Thursday, 25 November 2004 02:17 (twenty years ago)

Well, obviously there's

I Can't Believe It's Not Oyster!

This is a gob of human phlegm which is flavoured with Thai fish oil.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 25 November 2004 02:19 (twenty years ago)

hmmmm and i'm thinking you probably also need a crunchy snack then, not everyone likes gooey snacks

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 25 November 2004 02:23 (twenty years ago)

i have the fear over where this might go

― bulbs (bulbs), Thursday, 25 November 2004 02:27 (twenty years ago)

I know what gem's thinking: toasted 'Old Man' skin flakes. They would be made by a company called Long Pig. "Each one hand crafted from the hard heel skin of an old codger". In a variety of flavours - my preference would be cream cheese and chives. Cannibalism has never been so delicious.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 25 November 2004 02:28 (twenty years ago)

There is of course the Ned Raggett range which includes a variety of sweet meats, and some not so sweet.

You guys are freaking me out now *cries*.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 25 November 2004 02:33 (twenty years ago)

so you're going old school with the snack flavours col? none of this "red wine and tuscan herb" flavoured codger-crispy snacks

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 25 November 2004 02:33 (twenty years ago)

and perhaps the Dan Perry approved breakfast cereal: Booty flakes

Come the moment, the music was too quiet - I adjust the volume - nothing! After about 5 mins I located the correct volume knob. It was a classic WKOSA moment.

OK. Pill, bad headache and Total Recall do not mix. Ugh, not the best night Ive had with the blasted things. I suppose it was the sudafed and booze I'd had earlier in the day. I'm a dick.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 28 November 2004 07:04 (twenty years ago)

Yup. That's one shitty combination.

Arsehole of a day in the city today. You had the Fox Red Bull Billycart Derby with Kyle & Cunty O (Bogans fucken EVERYWHERE), the Ukrainians protesting at Parliament House, roadworks and weddings at every single church in East Melbourne.

Shit of a day for a picnic.

how's the new drum machine music going?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 29 November 2004 23:17 (twenty years ago)

slowly. although the remix is progressing well so far. the new mixes are much more lively and there's reverb and distortion out the wazoo

well that means they're more rhythmic and upbeat now?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 29 November 2004 23:39 (twenty years ago)

correct. their old material sounded pale in comparison. plus the male singer sometimes sings in his range now, which is nice. and they did a go betweens cover that was not a slaughter.

we just found out that the place voni works at over hol periods has arranged for someone else to set up a ahem beauty parlour which does massages and will not be requiring her despite contacting her and confirming that she would be working just a week ago. i had already booked a month off to cover for her. and we are broke.

the fuuuuuuuckers.

I feel rotten today. Big famuly dinner last night. Bloated, I collapsed on my bed and slept like a little lapdog as my girlfriend played Morrowind.

obv she has to find some other work possibilities col...but its...just...not...that...easy. plus they are underhand lying fucks. plus she doesn't want to undermine her integrity. plus i want a fucking holiday.

― bulbs (bulbs), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 02:23 (twenty years ago)

long service leave? or other forms of leave? or is it simply that you want revenge? Because there's a good one in Re/Search book 'Pranks' involving Boyd Rice and a bottle of wee.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 02:27 (twenty years ago)

what? i'm still taking my hols. but yes i want revenge. i want the beautician to have her face eaten away by acid and whoever her management fuckbuddy is to lose his dick in some horrible accident. i want everyone else involved to get some horrible disease where they discover maggots in their genitals and i want the place itself to burn down.

um, I was really disappointed in the nominations and I said flippantly (which I should have known better than doing) that 'this list is moronic' and 'some good people need to come through here soon or I'm done with this shit' and garnered about five billion complaints for being snobby and three seperate 'fuck yous' as well as a long argument with a poster I'd previously admired. I admitted fault, wrote the baldest self-defense I could think of, and when that was done was acused of being snobbier.

― Remy Snush (x Jeremy), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:05 (twenty years ago)

I know this is going to make you mad Remy but that entire post is basically "I am not a film snob because I transcend snobbiness into a whole new realm of ueber-snobbiness that requires a new word in the English language."

My two suggestions were 'flirting' and 'crying game' so I feel good. Nobody questioned either of them.

― Remy Snush The Night Away (x Jeremy), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:12 (twenty years ago)

isn't snob a cool word? that should be on the cool word thread. the sound of it totally suits its meaning.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:13 (twenty years ago)

Ned, you're way wiser than I am.

Eh, I wouldn't call it wisdom, just a knowledge that some things aren't all that appealing to me. All the poll threads mostly breeze by me -- I can see how they're fun and all but I'd rather read some of the results instead of get involved putting 'em together. I HAVE my list for the 90s, for instance (thus), so all I wanted to do was to confirm in the end that the result for this vote was the same as the last vote -- MBV AT NUMBER ONE, YEEHAW. Etc.

Slowdive! It's been so long! I loved that album.

― Remy Snush The Night Away (x Jeremy), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:14 (twenty years ago)

The great thing about the word "Slowdive" is that it makes me think of two equally brilliant things:

"Get your head down to the ground
SHAKE IT all around
Do the sound..."

You suggested Flirting, Jer? The Aussie film? YOU RULE! I love that movie (and The Year My Voice Broke as well). Both have resonance with me for also being filmed in the area I kinda grew up in. TYMVB was set in Braidwood, if I recall properly, and while I didn't live there, I went there a lot as it was on the way to our beach house so we often stopped there for pies and milkshakes and fizzy drinks and a rest in the park.

Ah happy days.

so if all us snobs what really know whats good avoid the polls then the polls will be full of shit and ilx might attract people who like shit.

just kidding

― bulbs (bulbs), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:20 (twenty years ago)

I feel like listening to "40 days" now. Only it might make me sad, so maybe I better not.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:21 (twenty years ago)

Flirting made me cry.

― Remy Snush The Night Away (x Jeremy), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:21 (twenty years ago)

i liked the year my voice broke much more than flirting.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:23 (twenty years ago)

I hain't seen either of them in years, I must watch them again.

I like it when things make me cry, even if it is embarrasing, heh. Like that episode of Futurama where his dog waited and waited for him outside the pizza shop OH MY GOD *blubber*

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:24 (twenty years ago)

Haha, I haven't seen Year My Voice Broke. It's actually sitting in the next room on top of the TV, and I was planning on watching it tonight.

― Remy Snush The Night Away (x Jeremy), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:25 (twenty years ago)

i think i might have cried in the year my voice broke actually, what was the girl character's name?? her life was so bloody disappointing but she was beautiful all the same. the actress is beautiful remy, i think her name is loene something.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:26 (twenty years ago)

I cried in In the name of Father when they chucked the burning paper out of the prison windows. I am not ashamed.

― papa november (papa november), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:28 (twenty years ago)

i always bawl my eyes out in cinema paradiso

― gem (trisk), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:29 (twenty years ago)

isn't it funny how we say "i cried in abc movie" as if we're actually part of the story

― gem (trisk), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:29 (twenty years ago)

It's always sad when Darth Vader dies. Oh wait.

(Actually I have no problem in saying that the scene on the river between Frodo and Sam at the end of Fellowship in the movie version is stellar tearjerking stuff, but there you go.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:30 (twenty years ago)

And that said, best weepy moment for me in movies over the last few years -- the part in Spirited Away when Chihiro tells the dragon his real name.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:32 (twenty years ago)

um, I wrote a mini-essay on the bad poll thread about crying in movies -- I'll email it to anybody who wants it.

― Remy Snush The Night Away (x Jeremy), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:32 (twenty years ago)

I wouldn't mind Remy...

― papa november (papa november), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:33 (twenty years ago)

there used to be a hallmark cards ad where an old lady checked her letterbox every day and never got any letters and her neighbour across the street sent her one which used to bring a tear to my eye on a daily basis. old people feeling lonely always makes me sad.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:34 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I remember that one. I'm getting all weepy thinking bout it.

― papa november (papa november), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:35 (twenty years ago)

I cried at the end of Terminator 2.

― haitch the carnivore (haitch), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:47 (twenty years ago)

When I was 11! I was a... delicate child, I think.

― haitch the carnivore (haitch), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:47 (twenty years ago)

highly strung?

― gem (trisk), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:48 (twenty years ago)

I cried at the end of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone because it was such a shit ending and I'd wasted $7 renting it.

― Adamdrome Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:51 (twenty years ago)

now that's highly-strung!

― haitch the carnivore (haitch), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:53 (twenty years ago)

Shit ending? The whole fucking thing was shit.

― papa november (papa november), Friday, 3 December 2004 01:57 (twenty years ago)

You haven't seen 'Oh! How firm my Rhubard! (A Mouse Horror Operetta)'? Oh you Phillistines! How can you call yourself a fan of cinema when you have not witnessed De Kocksach's 'CINEMA FAECES' art-brat-terrorism, a major influence on Don Leron Fujiwan-kah's series of short films, 'Le Pope Fuck'.

I snort derisively.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 3 December 2004 02:42 (twenty years ago)

seen 'em? i was the guy who smuggled them through customs.

― bulbs (bulbs), Friday, 3 December 2004 02:45 (twenty years ago)

I love how certain tv shows make me yell at the television, and not in an angry way. The girl and I have been devouring this HBO miniseries called Deadwood and whenever anybody's about to open a can of whoopass, we're all 'SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD, HE'S A GODDAMN LYING COCKSUCKER! DO IT! HE'S GOI A KNIFE! LISTEN TO ME! LIIIIIIIIIIISTEEEEEEN TO MEEEEEE!'

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 3 December 2004 02:49 (twenty years ago)

like drama recast as footy.

we were in this cinema once that was kind of like continuous showings for small cash and all these bums seemed to be using it like as a cheap place to crash or keep out of the rain or something and they'd all be waking up halfway through and yelling at the screen. it was some jack nicolson film and his wife (whos having an affair) tells him she's got to go away to the country for the weekend and this woman in the audience yells out "Up the country ma ass! Up the country and roun' that white boys fuck-ing dick!!!" and all the bums (and us) are laughing hysterically and we're all yelling "beeeyitch!" at jack nicolson's wife.

I just finished 'Year My Voice Broke' and ... man, what a great movie. Noah Taylor looks a lot like Ian Johnson used to at the same age, though more kiwified.

― Remy Snush The Night Away (x Jeremy), Friday, 3 December 2004 05:23 (twenty years ago)

kiwified?

the girl character's name is freya isn't it, it came back to me eventually

― gem (trisk), Friday, 3 December 2004 05:33 (twenty years ago)

He's Australian isnt he tho?

Anyhoo, I always thought he was cute. Like a young dorky Nick Cave :D

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 3 December 2004 05:34 (twenty years ago)

Er Noah that is, I dunno what Ian looks like ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 3 December 2004 05:35 (twenty years ago)

Noah Taylor

― Remy Snush The Night Away (x Jeremy), Friday, 3 December 2004 05:37 (twenty years ago)

yeah i always thought he was cute too trayce!! but i also thought nick cave was cute. i was searching for someone who could smoke a cigarette all nervous and hunched-over like that all the way through my late teens

― gem (trisk), Friday, 3 December 2004 05:38 (twenty years ago)

I just layed the groundwork for the most mental marissa marchant remix ever.

― papa november (papa november), Friday, 3 December 2004 05:39 (twenty years ago)

OMG I'd forgot how YOUNG Noah was in those films! I suppose it was a long time ago.

I wanna watch it again so I can see Braidwood and go "IVE BEEN IN THAT CAFE! I'VE SAT IN THAT PARK!"

PS Jer, you guys are all just TOO CUTE in that pic I love it to bits :D

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 3 December 2004 05:41 (twenty years ago)

Noah's lookin a bit seedier nowadays:

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 3 December 2004 05:42 (twenty years ago)

i remember the year my voice broke as just being one long reflection of what it was like growing up in rural australia, different town and landscape to where i grew up, which was on the coast, but otherwise so much the same.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 3 December 2004 05:44 (twenty years ago)

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 01:31 (twenty years ago)

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 01:37 (twenty years ago)
