The action hero's face is usually covered in grazes, open woulnds, dirt, grease and/or the enemy's viscera, and the heroine (who has only known him for less than 24 hours) always kisses him passionately at the end of the movie.

WHY!?!?!?

why do they always leave the door open in the movies, or the tap running, or they stand in front of the fridge letting all the cold air out while they have a conversation

Actors aren't that coordinated They can only do one thing at a time. Closing a door, turning off a tap and all that would require them to do more than one thing at a time. Do you think they are getting paid millions of dollars to do more than one thing

But seriously imagine all the takes they do of that stuff, think of all the water or resources going to waste! While we in Australia are having one of the biggest droughts ever!

that is what I mean!!!


no wonder the characters in movies never actually eat anything either, they leave all the food on the plate and excuse themselves from the table I've even seen them scrape their whole dinner into the bin during an after dinner in the kitchen scene !!

ZombieKitten said:

Are the snakes going crazy in Australia again because of the drought? I heard horror stories when last year's drought hit Australia.

Why did I ask?

Why did I ask?

I haven't seen a snake in decades.
I don't think they live in the suburbs

oh, and we have had this drought for over 10 years now

ZombieKitten said:

Good.

ThreadBare said:

I'd love to know which suburb
I bet she lived on the fringes or near the green wedge

this has some info about them!
http://www.ecocentre.com/...ember.html

"All snakes would prefer to avoid humans and snake bites are rare. When snakes are seen they are usually gliding silently away into the undergrowth. If we look at them without fear we find them to be elegant graceful animals and the larger ones help us to control mice and rats.

The presence of snakes in the environment indicates a healthy ecosystem, rich enough to support these beautiful predators."

snakes are wonderful!

ThreadBare said:

which bit

JasmineFire said:

snakes are supposed to be around here this is where they live, except they aren't so keen on cars and roads and noise and pollution, so they mostly stay away.

JasmineFire said:

Not the ones that bite. I got a whole lot of mongoose friends for those biting, poisonous, drought-maddened snakes.

ThreadBare said:

mongeese are wonderful, too!

JasmineFire said:

we don't have them here

I don't think our snakes have any natural enemies

Snakes are awesome But yeah they are very rare to see..unless you go to a zoo or something. Also about 70% of the snakes you would see are harmless so theres no need to worry. Sure we have most of the most deadly snakes in the world here but they mainly stay out in the bush.

Hell a while back I went on a 14 day camp and I was half expecting to run into a few snakes. At one point we were walking along and just as I was about to put my foot down I saw something scalely on the ground and froze up...only to look closer and it was just a lizard

As long as snakes don't get on my mother fuckin planes I will be happy (it had to be said )

my folks live up near Mt Hotham, and they see a few now and then on the road in the summer time. They keep their grass very short around the house. You can take precautions, like walking in a noisy way and talking loudly

I ride a pogo stick, and have never been bitten!

But back on topic, on soap operas, during a serious conversation, the woman will walk past the man and stand in front of him with her back to him. When has anyone ever had a conversation with their back turned to the person they're talking to?

NDRU said:

YES!!!!! so annoying!

I like the episode of Entourage when Drama is shooting his show and the director tells him he wants him to do his monologue while walking and he freaks out its so true tho...I would hate to see Tom Cruise being told to do multiple things without a stand in helping him

kcwm said:

is that on free to air? or only on Foxtel?

I don't think its on free to air....I've got the DVDs of it But I know its on Arena on Foxtel. If it were on free to air it would be on late at night as its not a kid friendly show at all. Very good show tho i recommend it

kcwm said:

I might look out for it at the video shop. Have you watched UnderBelly? I got that series on DVD, but I'm not sure it's my cup of tea

Yeah I liked Underbelly, although the ending could have been a bit more dramatic. Entourage is good fun tho but it can be a bit confronting as theres lot of swearing, lots of women portrayed at objects. But its a good fun spin of the life of a celebrity

kcwm said:

speaking of women portrayed as objects, I saw Baby Snakes last night Roy Estrada and the blow up lady totally non-PC

I will watch Underbelly if you think it is good, I will blame you if it's crap

Wait a minute aren't you in Melbourne or somewhere in Victoria? if so naughty you getting Underbelly Theres a big sticker on it saying "Not to be sold in Victoria" because of the trial still going on...assuming it still is going on...i wouldn't have a clue anymore. If your not and I'm thinking of someone else watch it anyway.

It can be a bit confronting at times if your not really in the knowhow of the "underbelly" of the crime world, or just how top dog drug dealers/gangs really do "business" But I think all the actors were cast very well, although throughout the whole thing I wanted the main cop guy to die...bloody pigs are way too nosy (and I've got 3 in the family )

kcwm said:

REALLY!!!! I didn't know that! I can't be called to jury duty anyway, I'm not a citizen

After telling my friend about that he says that it is allowed for sale in Victoria now So I cant report you to the authorities Ah well at least my edition has the not for sale in Victoria sticker so its "special" hehe
