Little More Than A Cargo Cult
Amusement, curiosity, joviality, merriment, mischief, tomfoolerly and various shenanigans from the world-wide Internets and beyond.
I would flip through catalogs and wonder, “What kind of dining set defines me as a person?” We used to read pornography. Now it was the Horchow Collection.
Probably, and most often, my most favourite film of all time … Fight Club
Don’t trust Julia, because she got rid of Kevin. Don’t trust Tony, because he’s probably mad. It doesn’t add up to much beyond a demonstration of just how bereft the campaign is of anything else to talk about. Fear is what’s left when you’ve abandoned courage and optimism.
Her majesty Annabel Crabb — To the ballot boxes we go
The jokes, they write themselves — Part 2
Tony fears only two kinds of questioners at these events; people who continue to be cross about WorkChoices, and people who know about broadband.

Unfortunately we’ve got an NRL competition which is heavily skewed with technology but you also have a game out there in the country areas and even in the metropolitan areas that doesn’t have that technology,” he said. “The rulebook still quite clearly has its place, but to me I think there needs to be a close look at where we go, going forward with that position with technology and the rules of the game.
Dear everyone who thinks video referees will solve problems in Football.

You *can* build a Catholic church next to a playground. Should you? … Or am I alone in thinking it’s a little ‘too soon’ for that?

I’ll say this again: before you waste your time reading what folks who had NOTHING to do with a movie you love have to say about it? Recall that these are the same fools who shouted down FIGHT CLUB & called it a failure when it didn’t make bank. They decried FIREFLY and MALLRATS.
Mercifully, the pedantic assholes of this world only get a weekend to carve you up with their long, sharp knives. And the shit they say? I can attest to this truth: not even the filmmaker remembers what they write & say. But the work itself? In this case, PILGRIM? It enters Valhalla - where it’s celebrated religiously for the very audience it was intended: whoever it SPEAKS to. 15 yrs later, when I say “Rats was a flop…” people say “It was? But I had it on video.” Nobody remembers or cares what it made; all they care about it was it MEANS to them.
So embrace & enjoy a movie that was so obviously crafted with insane affection for its audience. Quit worrying about what the dumb kids say.
Scriptwriter and film-maker @ThatKevinSmith on the critical reaction to Scott Pilgrim. Amen I say, A-fucking-men.
The order of operations for the next-gen web is a simple formula. The RIGHT data to the RIGHT person at the RIGHT time on the RIGHT device. Data first, Device LAST.
The decision, along with that of the Greens, ensures that the filter will be, um, filtered out by the Senate, pretty much whatever happens on Saturday. Another good reason to give the Greens your first preference in the Senate.
One of my most fulfilling achievements of my life is to say that I’ve stood in front of these at Ta Prohm Angkor Thom in Angkor, Cambodia, they are even more majestic and wonderful than any picture can do justice.
