If there's anything else you don't know I'll tell ya as obviously you need guidance from someone with a superior intellect. Luckily for ya, I'm not busy right now but you'll have to ask your mommy about the birds and bees stuff; I'm under a court order not to talk to minors about such things!
I didn't know that he had made two other shorts but I knew that Day of The Fight was a short film, yes, but it still counts, jerk. Nonetheless the only Kubrick films I am yet to see are that one and Fear And Desire. I've been hunting down a copy of Day Of The Fight forever. Go rummage through your porno collection and see if you can find a copy to send me. While you're at it, tell your nurse to change your diaper, you seem a little cranky!
Originally posted by no1marauderI had already found a site for myself but just to make you feel like you actually did me a favor of some kind, yes thank you wow how wonderful. And I'm sure you know everything about the birds and bees. I can imagine that you've studied your porno collection VERY intensely over the years! As for now, I'm off to bed. Don't die in your sleep tonight, old man.

When it comes to horror movies, different things freak different people out. I don't find many of them very horrific, but i've just been to see The Grudge, and there was something quite creepy about it. I haven't quite put my finger on it yet, but i think it has to do with the nightmarish inescapable quality of the haunting. The Ring (Western version) had the same sort of effect, but not as much - maybe my psyche is tuned in to Japanese conceptions of horror. There was a moment in The Grudge that genuinely startled me - somehow i had become so immersed in it that i didn't see this coming, and i actually for a split second perceived it directly as a threat to me, sitting in the theatre, rather than through the medium of the characters. i was mighty impressed i can tell you, by that little moment. i guess someone else might not be affected at all by that moment, but would find something else pretty disturbing (in some other movie, perhaps) that i wouldn't.

Originally posted by seraphimvulturewell, it's not the bit at the beginning that i was talking about, although that is a bit startling. but it happens too early for the viewer to be really engrossed yet. the bit i am talking about happens in the second half i think, and perhaps part of the reason it got to me is that my attention had wavered just a little bit.
Thank you for not actually explaining the moment, since I haven't seen the movie yet. I've read in three reviews now that there's something in the beginning that is very frightening, so I'll probably wait to rent it somewhere.
Edit: Jerk.
wow: 'jerk' - i bet you had a squad of crack gag-writers working around the clock on that one. NOT...

Originally posted by seraphimvultureany fool can, within the rules of correspondence chess, take the time to do position searches, look up databases, and so on, and keep his/her rating high. i enjoy playing more by relying on my own evolving resources, although i am not above looking up unfamiliar variations of openings in the interests of learning them better. how would you do OTB i wonder?
I'm also way, WAY ahead of you in rating, my friend, so you should be respecting your superiors right about now.
Originally posted by dfm65Every OTB tourney I have entered has been for 18+ years old players, and I am always the youngest one there and I am yet to exit a tourney within the bottom half of the final standings. You have no idea what you're talking about and almost EVERYONE on here uses a database or a book for their openings. Wise up, moron.

Originally posted by seraphimvultureHow do you even watch any movies I wonder, when you said on another thread you can't play timed chess of 15 minutes; you prefer two minutes cuz that's all your 3yr old like attention span can handle? Boy, the local Girl Scouts are gonna be disappointed!
