  1. Thread implosion imminent.

    Ignore the oversized tee. Hasn't been washed and I have recently dropped a couple lbs.

    Why would you post something you want everyone to ignore? This is probably not worst, but it's worse than most. Plus this thread was getting jacked.

  2. Shit. I forgot I have a haircut booked tomorrow. My life has become so busy that I haven't had a cut in months, and now I look like the sort of degenerate that would break into your home and steal your TV to buy drugs.

    I usually get the sides and back buzzed #2 and the top kind of disconnected and just generally short/spiky/messy. Someone help me out with some hair style inspiration matching this general description. Need photos.

  3. can you guys recommend really good whodunit/conspiracy/subterfuge/espionage titles please.

    Not classic "espionage" titles as such, but pretty much all of Philip K Dick's books deal with ontology and conspiracy in some form.

    Cryptonomicon and Tokyo Year Zero have been sitting on my shelf forever. Really need more reading time.

    I'm gonna have to disagree on Kraken though. One of the few books I haven't been able to finish in recent times. It just grinds after a couple hundred pages. Mieville has a great imagination but his prose style can be pretty tedious. I'd suggest The City and The City as a much more enjoyable (and shorter) alternative.

    Currently reading this. Interesting take on a topic I am already very familiar with. Good balance of narrative and citation-based facts.

  4. I never really understood bleached paper used for any purpose other than writing/printing (even then...). Bleached toilet paper? Bleached napkins? Bleached coffee filters? It's extra chemicals purely for aesthetics.

  5. Kevin Smith has a new film coming out... and it's a horror movie.

    "It's a nasty-ass $4mil horror flick with few (if any) redeeming characters."

    Fun facts:

    There is no score for this film. The entire soundtrack consists of songs sung within the film itself.

    Kevin Smith's lowest budget film since Chasing Amy.

    The budget for the special effects department was $5000.

  6. OK, so maybe I was a little harsh. This is internet, its primary currency is unfounded opinion. The movie was not "absolute shit". I just judged it harshly cos I heard so many people gushing over it and, after viewing, I felt that it was comparable to a mediocre Hollywood thriller. Not shit, but far from amazing or even original. Predictable as fuck and just kinda boring to watch.

    The books on the other hand... Can't judge too harshly because I have not read any of them but, aside from obv hype-beasting, I heard they were just poorly written and filled with tedious descriptions of consumer goods. My buddy said it was like reading a crime thriller interlaced with pages from an Apple catalogue.

    Don't get too defensive over a dead pulp author. This is a film thread, and these are merely my opinions, based on a book I have no first-hand experience of... Creep me in the lit threads if you want to discuss books.

    edit: sean_ -- were you the guy going to Sweden to study writing? I vaguely recall this discussion coming up previously in a book thread.

  7. ^^ I didnt like it. I'm actually hoping the Hollywood one follows the book closer.

    Fuck, finally. The first person I've heard admit that this was absolute shit. I haven't read the books, but my more reliable/critical reading friends tell me they're pretty turd-like too.
