Got my new card in the mail yay!
Oh and a question for native speakers of English.
In Holland we don''t really have a term for 'suspension of disbelief'', however people who love movies often knows what it refers too. So with mates I do use it.
How do you say in English that you didn't like a movie because shit happened outside the borders of said suspension. Like for instance in Avengers 2, hawkeye beats the crap out of the Hulk.... and I have a hard time believing it.
'' Man, I hated Avengers two because....."
Thanks in advance hehe

I'm feeling jittery right now. I think it's the coffee. I've been drinking it so much lately ever since I went back to drinking it in the morning. I'm also at work.![]()
Wow, I just read the wiki page. I always assumed it was a point where a TV show or movie broke the suspension of disbelief, but apparently it's when it reaches a creative nadir.I don't think jumped the shark works in that context.
Wazzy go have a race with the desk chairs in the back aisles.
Wikipedia said:Jumping the shark is an idiom created by Jon Hein that was used to describe the moment in the evolution of a television show when it begins a decline in quality, which is usually a particular scene, episode, or aspect of a show in which the writers use some type of "gimmick" in an attempt to keep viewers' interest. Its name is taken from a scene from a fifth season episode of the sit-com Happy Days when the character Fonzie jumps over a shark while on water-skis.[1][2][3]
The usage of "jump the shark" has subsequently broadened beyond television, indicating the moment when a brand, design, or creative effort's evolution declines.
"It was unrealistic" is the first thing that comes to mind
"Hawkeye beating up the Hulk was far too heavy of a load on the suspension bridge of belief in my gray matter. So much so the cables gave way."
Jumped the shark?
I think 5 hours which isn't too bad.How much sleep you get this time?![]()

I'm amazed Jagr is still playing. I remember my best friend in elementary school, who was Czech, going nuts over him in elementary school.Olympic Hockey <3
Czechs and Sweden playing right now....Hertl would be playing if not for Dustin Brown![]()
Daaaamn that sucks. This was always my biggest fear when I would do radio shows. Since my shift was either 12-3:30 or 3:30-6, if someone didn't show up it means I would actually pass out on air.Welp. Staying an extra 3 hours at work since no one showed for their shift. I hate getting off late.![]()

Sweden has a pretty good team but Russia and Canada are so damn stacked.
Though this should definitely justify using a broom has an oar and rowing around in a desk chair to help customers the rest of the day.
This is lush, it sounds like a sombre movie soundtrack.

Yeah X-2 is definitely the best X-men film. Nightcrawler opening was indeed boss, MJH.
Haven't been to such an ambient show that wasn't an orchestra. I hope they have a great lighting technician because the atmosphere will be amazing.considering that it's a twin peaks soundtrack cover you're not too far off :>
but they still created something quite unique :3
going to see them next month. can't wait, they're really great
Not my thing, but the general idea for this is fucking awesome and I will always love that band for this.
Also, I know I've posted this before but I'm doing it again.
THE SHIT THAT YOU HATE DON'T MAAAAKE YOOOOUU SPEEECIAAAAL
That line pretty much sums up my thoughts on gaming side >_>

aaaaaand woooould youuu liiike me if I stayed foreeeever young
well it sucks but no one does
get used to staying out of touch
I'll add Twin Peaks to the list Robo, god knows when I'll get around to it though! I have so much to be getting on with movies/TV/game wise. I'm drowning in the stuff!
First world problems.
I'm playing Hitman Absolution at the minute, it's my first Hitman game and I'm having a blast! It's so much fun formulating a plan and then executing it like a ninja.
I have the HD Trilogy to play too, but I hear Blood Money is the only one worth my time. We'll see.
Just bought Hotline Miami too (£2.40!), I'll probably be done with my backlog just in time for the PS5. :/
Sherilyn Fenn? Absolute babe. I remember she was one of the first women to give me a twinge.hotline miami is the bee's knees! great soundtrack too. can't wait for the sequel *O*
plus you're so going to fall in love with audrey once you watch twin peaks. I guarantee it
I think I can squeeze it in before next year fella! I'll prioritise it as I respect you guys opinions. My mate John has been on at me for years to see it!NinjaBoi you better have watched Twin Peaks by the time you've made it to the states or that's all your vacation here will be.

Guess I best post a tune as it's the done thing eh?
Lamb - Trans Fatty Acid (Kruder & Dorfmeister mix)
Cooler than a polar bear's toenails mate, one of the better covers of that tune that I've heard.Delicious post all around ninja, here's a song by The Mighty Bop.
Indeed.goddess *-*
Ninja's going to America?
Can I come?
Sherilyn Fenn? Absolute babe. I remember she was one of the first women to give me a twinge.

Yeah man, I'm going to hang out and have a boogie with ma boi Acrid at some point next year. I want to see San Fran and the states in general, I've never been.
It's early days yet, just a plan at the minute. But if you genuinely want to go, I don't see why not!
What, is this a movie I should watch?Two moon junction yo!
Haha, I figured as much! I was like, "but we IRL bro's and stuff, you're just an internet bro at the minute." I didn't really know what to say as it would be as much Acrid's decision as mine, but I hate ignoring posts addressed directly to me. It's rude. :/ You cheeky monkey you!Haha, was only joking. Plus I'm gonna have forgotten by tomorrow anyway >_>
Sounds awesome though.
get glasses!damn, my eyes are so sore after work in the office (till 5th of April) that I cannot even watch TV :|
Hotline Miami is batshit crazy! Really hard too but super satisfying. The OST is indeed bonza trab, harsh electro FTW.
I do have a minor headache though, probably a bad choice of game to ease my suffering!
The lab finished 46 minutes early. :'D
Also, do you get someone who's just a friend a gift for Valentine's Day? I'm gonna take her to see Frozen and then dinner, so is a gift even needed? Halp me FakeGAF, you hopeless romantics!
