I also like Seth Rogan, he has a slightly je ne sais quoi that I find attractive. He's not that handsome but he's hairy and he has a deep voice. 2 big pluses for me.
About rotten tomatoes: I never browse that site and I don't judge which movie should I watch based on the trailers either. I usually wait for specific scenes to get leaked or featured on Youtube. I watched 3 scenes from American Hustle and I knew I wasn't going to like it that much and I was right. Same went with Osage County: Saw 3 scenes and I knew I was going to like it (turns out I absolutely loved it).
Still, it's pretty shocking when there's such a disparity between critic reviews and audience feedback. It's almost impossible not to think there was bribing involved (just as it happens in gaming).
The hair is the unattractive part. But I've already stated my stance on that.
Plus IIRC he's Jewish?
That twitter photo he posted has me rollin' though. Mostly because of the reaction to it.
Don't get me wrong. I like the books. I found the movie to be better paced, however. The bar songs weren't the issue for me. The issue was dragging things out to describe. every. scene. It's like "you don't need to tell us we're in another forest, dude. Just do dialog and action or something. Geez."

I do! Not nervous at all

Hm. You sorta kinda spoil yourself. That's interesting. I can see how that's a good way to gauge how you're going to like it.
There isn't too much disparity between audience and critic reviews in the movies you listed. Audiences seemed to like American Hustle over August: Osage County, and they liked that one over The Great Gatsby. Just like the critics. Who knows about bribing and moneyhatting though. I'm sure there's plenty of politics behind the scenes. Although, that's a quality typically associated with the Weinsteins for some reason, and they were the ones behind August: Osage County. I think.
eh, but it's nice to have that sometimes -- almost every other fantasy has a completely different style from Tolkien, even though they generally draw from LOTR. I'm happy if it doesn't go straight from one thing to another, getting lost in a world is fun

The Artist was the best movie nominated that year tho.
I was also a best man a couple of weeks ago (BFF's wedding). Pretty cool to be part of the VIP party
(and it had been a few years since I last used a suit)It was probably the only wedding where I had honest and good old fun (I even danced!)

You know what's a better world to lose yourself in?
What is this? The cover looks cool.
The first two entries in The Book of the New Sun, Gene Wolfe's seminal work, basically his Lord of the Rings. The latter two books are called Sword and Citadel.
Gene Wolfe is known for his obfuscated narratives, ambiguous language and unreliable narrators. Reading a Wolfe novel is like reading a rough translation of an ancient text. Part entertainment, part archaeology.Wiki said:
I highly recommend it and you'll make Mumei very happy if you post in the book thread about having read it.

Did you give a speech? That sounds horrifying.

it says what it is right on the cover
Seriously. I'd probably kill myself if someone asked me to be their best man and give a speech.
So GayGAF, I've been seeing this guy for the past week or so and I'm starting to really, really like him. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. ._.
THIS. So glad my best friend is already married and so I don't need to deal with that (as I have no one else who would possibly ask for me to be their best man).

So LGBT gaf I could use some advice. I have a friend that's a leans pretty close to a lesbian (she only like dudes that are like past 40 and have rugged looks) and we've been really good friends for about a year now. Well starting this year we are both about to finish college and both of us are sick of GA and want to move to New York. So we decided to room together and get an apartment. Now I'm a straight guy and I don't have feelings for her or anything but I do think she is attractive. Should I be worried about possible sexual tension if I do this? I feel like I can respect her sexual preference and stay her friend while rooming together but I'm still a little worried. Thanks for the advice
100% of my friends are straight. Some of them are attractive, and it's not really a problem for me. To me it's easy to separate friends from "fair game" people
So really, only you can know if it's a good idea or not. IMO it shouldn't be a problem if it hasn't been one so far.Thatonemoor

Feeling like it's a good idea. We are seriously best friends. Talking every day about movies and shit. Maybe I'm worrying about nothing.

If there's one movie I regret missing on IMAX 3D that would be Gravity.
God damn it what a ride, it's so good. Worth every Oscar it got.
Also watched Paprika for the first time. Besides the usual mindfuck you get with most anime movies I was thoroughly entertained, it's really good (and the theme song is fantastic).
Nebraska, well. . .It's definitely better than American Hustle but not as good as Osage County. It has its moments and I laughed quite a lot during the movie but I feel they stretched the "appreciation" shots way too much. An entertaining movie regardless.

I can't decide between games... sigh...
okay would you guys buy Bayonetta or Tales of Symphonia
I want to play Bayonetta but the whole nudity thing just kind of makes me uncomfortable.

Well I just spent the last 4 hours on youtube watching british people trying american food (lol "food". It was mostly candy) thanks a thread here.
Symphonia is a good game. I really wanted to get into Bayonetta but my eyes tire out quickly and there was just too much stuff going on at once for me to play for any moderate length of time.
You never see boobs or vaginas on Bayonetta. She self censors her areas and its pretty tongue in cheek. Game is great and you deserve to play it.
Tales of Symphonia the PS3 localization was butchered a bit on areas despite being fine in the GC game, framerate downgraded and visuals effects changed. Still worth owning it. Also Symphonia as much as I might love the game it feels dated in many aspects (Yet it has the best dungeons in the 3D Tales of Games and probably the more memorable albeit a bit cliche story of the bunch)
Tales of Symphonia is amazing, and that's from someone who usually doesn't like JRPGs at all. I can't vouch for Bayonetta, though from what I've seen it's "Great, but all over the place".

Bayonetta, definitely.

(ToS was one of my favorite RPGs on the GameCube, but...) Bayonetta, and it isn't even close. She's just a little bit cheeky. (And flawless.) It's one of the best games out there, especially in the action genre. I hate fanservice more than anyone, mind.
Bayonetta is the best action game of last gen, the PS3 version isn't as good as the 360 though. I can't wait for Bayonetta 2 to come out.
You should be fine if you guys are truly friends. The idea that a guy and girl can't be friend because it will ultimately end up with sexual tention is ridiculous. I have tons of straight friends and the thought of having sex with them hasn't crossed my mind even once.

I don't remember a lot of nudity from Bayonetta but I would go with Tales of Symphonia chronicles. Its 2 games.. both of which are pretty long.
I guess that's better than 6 hours of spectating matches?
If we're talking wrestling matches, then no.

It was amazing in IMAX 3D, but what a garbage film. It's like "Heavy Breathing and Bad Luck: The Movie" with all the coincidental things that keep happening throughout the film. Given all the bad things that kept happening, I am convinced that
she gets eaten by a crocodile
Kind of wish she would have drowned at the end just to see the audience reactions, it would have been such a giant fuck you to them.

Catching up on last night's Game of Thrones premiere. So glad they
opted to portray Prince Oberyn as bisexual, like the books mentioned
EDIT: Good lord what an ending.

How do I look with glasses and stubble?
I feel bottom as fuck looking like this tbh
Sub-Zero, you look great! Stubble looks great on you, the glasses too. Keep both!
Aaaaaand, here's my semi-selfie (I set the timer on the camera), serious mode: on.
