  1. The real problem with Bruno was that there really wasn't an arc to the story. He wants to be famous. Ok. So he adopts a black baby. Ok. That's something famous people do. So he joins the army? Uhh... Going hunting? Uh... It just seemed like "let's go do something ridiculous and film it" then slam it together into a movie. Maybe rent it; no need to see it in the theater.

    And before someone goes and says "but you went and saw a movie meant to be ridiculous and over the top. What were you expecting?" Well, Borat was ridiculous and over the top, and yet there was still a story in it. There was some character development besides "gay austrian." There was a plot that certain scenes built upon other scenes in a cohesive way.

    With that said, and I know its a total late pass, but I saw Up last night and was absolutely blown away.

  2. I never really understood cheesecake. Sure, it's called a cake, but everyone can clearly see it's a fucking pie. A delicious, delicious pie. It's got a crust and a filling.

  3. When you find that one perfect pair, develop a hole in the crotch that really needs to be sent to a tailor, but you keep wearing them despite the hole because they are all you really want to wear.

    Poor 660... you'll get fixed some day.

  4. I probably have one of the short inseams going and I just want my jeans before my soon to be one year skulls blow out in the front part of the crotch. No money, no job, I need these bad boys.

    Yeah. i was hoping to get employed before plunking cash on an extra pair. Yesterday was disheartening when the price jumped to 255....

    ...and now today they're $275.:eek:

  5. Yeah I realise that all denim contests are like this, but I don't think it's legal to be charged before the item is available.

    Someone should notify the Harry Potter publishers! They're going to flip out when they find out you think its illegal to offer pre-orders.

  6. anyone do the BoO and shit sale?

    Very little BoO. Ties & bow ties ($50 I think), white and blue windowpane with white collar shirt ($85). Shipley & Halmos stuff was nice (really nice slim fit trousers and khakis for $100). Shirts were $85 also and were actually very nice, but still, too much for me to pick any up this month---regrettably. Cheap Monday jeans were $10(!!!) and were ... well... Cheap Mondays. Boatloads of Cheap Mondays.

    Unexpectedly, lots of Common Projects by the way. $200 I think. Didn't appear to be too many interested people.
