    Sooo last night sucked and I had to lock myself in my friend's bathroom because she got way too drunk and tried to stab me.

    Should I be worried about this?

    Didn't this happen with a cat

    I thought the cat was the one locked in the bathroom?

    Move to New Zealand
    It’s not a very important country most of the time

    Their creditors are going to get their money eventually. Eventually.

    But even if they don't, hey, guess what? Lending isn't a no-risk business.

    Well we know that if American creditors attempt to seize Greece's navy for non-payment that it won't stand.

    No one is seizing shit from Greece, Greece is a country not a business or person. They have an army.

    Are the banks going to re-headquarters to Venice and start hiring mercenaries? I don't think so. :-p

    Now I've got the mental image of repo men hauling away the Acropolis in the back of a giant flatbed truck.

    i don't think that the big concern is for the welfare of the bondholders. as you said, they got a better interest rate on their greek bonds because they had to accept risk.

    the big concern is that after a default, greece will have no way of raising money because no one will buy their bonds

    Very true, which is why its in Greece's interests to reach a workable arrangement.

    Oh, @Jacobkosh and @DasUberEdward I watched After Hours for the first time the other day, had been wanting to for a while after DUE posted the trailer

    and now I really want to write a modern version of what that movie is essentially: a dude in his twenties out late at night and the kind of weird shit that happens when you venture out into the city in search of sex or just something to do.

    That movie reminded me of my college years and the strange shit that would happen whenever we went downtown drinking, and I loved how contained and oddly relatable the movie felt.

    @Wash it's terrific. It's an archetypal Night Journey, at once enlightening and terrifying. As a comedy I find it kind of cold and alienating sometimes? It's got long stretches that are just chilly and ha-ha weird instead of ha-ha funny. But I think that's the point; it disorients you, it removes all the usual bumpers from the edge of the narrative ride and you legitimately have no idea how anything is going to turn out by "morning."

    It gets very uncomfortable and unsettling at points, and it kind of veers from feeling like a story a friend might tell you the morning after and being a nightmare.

    There's a short doc about the movie on the DVD, and apparently before Scorsese agreed to it, the producers had been talking to Tim Burton. When Scorsese finally told them he wanted to do the movie, Griffin Dunne mentioned it to Burton during a meeting and supposedly the director gracefully bowed out, not wanting to get in the way of Scorsese.

    It kinda happened to Argentina. There was a dispute over some bonds they defaulted over and one of the creditors had the harbormaster impound the A.R.A. Libertad when it docked Ghana. It was disputed for a little while till the Supreme Court said he had to give it back.

    Well shit, now in retrospect I kind of regret that we didn't get to see Burton doing something urban and real. I mean, it's Scorsese's one comedy so is notable for that but I'd have loved to see a more gritty, naturalistic Tim Burton before he kind of disappeared into the fairy realm.

    or would he just keep FLOTUS and change the L to mean something different

    I am extremely curious as to how that would look, and if he could manage to do that movie without making it seem too fantastical.

    There are some parts of it I could see him glowing over, like the sculptures, Terri's Garrs apartment, and the punk bar.

    I hope this was someone's idea of a joke. It's a clip from CCTV discussing Japanese military capability. About 19 seconds or so in.

    that's a statue

    Good joke tho

    oh man what if that is literally what happened

    and the burton that's made the last many movies is actually just some hollow changeling, which would explain how weirdly formulaic and lifeless many (all?) of the latest movies are

    a changeling faerie that came to the realms of christendom with one dream: to have outrageous threesomes with depp and bonham-carter

    stab her before she stabs you

    just sit her on the couch next to you and be like "We need to talk"

    then just stab her suddenly and be like

    "The Lannisters send their regards"
