    It was the worst one, Blake

    I love the LotR trilogy but the third one gave me such a headache

    These are the most fascinating clouds I have been witness to, I'd love to see those Scottish ones in person, though; this is almost boring by comparison

    Weird shit going on with the sky always puts me off. I feel sick just looking at those images.

    They are cool, though!

    A week or so ago I was treating Cass to dinner and a heavy thunderstorm was rolling in, and when I looked at the clouds I just started feeling dizzy and like I had to get under cover. The clouds were the darkest shade of grey I've seen in a long time, and I just can't look at them for long.

    Actually, I think the weather here is boring as hell at times and I kind of miss the occasional tornado watch and lightning storm.

    I've not been in a really bad storm since I was 4, and I barely remember that (I was mainly mad, because I had to stay indoors two days in a row and couldn't watch TV because there was no reception), so I guess epic clouds don't bother me so much because I've always known that the ones I have seen haven't signified anything in particular

    That evening sky looks threatening but it didn't even rain

    But shit, yeah, if I were, say, in the mid-west and saw something bearing down on me, I'd be fucking terrified

    Why would you miss tornado watches? Why would you miss the possibility that your home or the home of someone you know may be destroyed by a tornado?

    I live in Florida and I know a few people that actually get excited about hurricane season and I'm just like "What the fuck?"

    English people talk about the weather not because it's severe, because it's not, or because it's particularly cold or particularly hot, because it's not, but because it's so unpredictable

    I mean, I'd walk home and it'd be sunny and then out of nowhere it'd start raining and then it'd maybe hail and once I experienced sleet in addition to the aforementioned things, too

    all in the space of an hour

    It's a possibility.

    It's seriously one of the worst things about living here, every damn summer I have to live in fear that some shit's gonna happen to my place. So far the worst that's happened was roof damage, which wasn't too extensive but somewhat costly to repair.

    The freakiest experience of my life was on Christmas Day a few years back when a fucking tornado literally ripped apart nearly every house across the street.

    that's a shame, choco

    I absolutely love watching lightening storms

    Seeing lightning light up the clouds and forking the ground below is amazing from a distance, and then you hear that low rumble just make its way over to you.

    When I feel like I'm in the middle of it, I start feeling sick. It's a step up from crippling fear like when I was 10, at least!

    I have so far experienced no earthquakes!

    My only earthquake experience was actually in the UK, last summer we had a rather rare no. 5 on the richter scale strike

    I live in California now. Sometime in the next 30 years there will be another 6.0+ magnitude event and it will fuck everything up.

    By contrast, when a tornado watch is issued, it's generally over a large swath of land and the odds of being even within a mile of the event are extremely small. I lived in North Alabama for 13 years (and my parents still do), which is statistically right up there Oklahoma in terms of tornadoes per year and we've never had a tornado anywhere near us.

    That said, I didn't meant to say I get excited by severe weather. When you have a warning and you can see that hook on the radar heading towards your neighborhood and you wonder why the hell they didn't put a basement in your house, well, yeah, it sucks. But, still, on the list of natural disasters to worry about, tornadoes don't rank highly on my list. (For reference, hurricanes do: living as far north as we did we only ever got rain or, on occasion, thunderstorms from hurricane remnants. I don't really have a reference point for living on the coast and worrying about hurricanes.)

    Anyway, I still did think it was funny two years ago when we actually did have a little lightning here and bunch of people in my office building flocked to the windows to watch the lighting. Having just moved to CA, I didn't really appreciate how rare an event that was at the time.

    I had a massive day of unpredictable weather here in the US. I had just gotten my license and as a surprise I drove over to my girlfriends house (she lived about an hour and a half drive away, and her being the only driver it sucked until I got my shit together.)

    It was completely sunny when I started, then rain and finally heavy snow. I ended up staying at her house longer than planned because the roads were unsafe to drive on as I got snowed in.

    Recently in Sydney I was walking down a pathway to get some fast food when I saw a lovely lightning arc stretch across the sky. It went from cloud to cloud! What was great was that it was so very large and really took up a great degree of horizontal space in my vision. Quite cool. Also waiting for the thunder after seeing lightning is way fun!

    I'm a biot disappointed in the premise of this movie, though. Not because of any similarities between the characters, but because of the similarity in the format (lots of interviews with unsuspecting fools.)

    I liked that the Ali G and Borat movies were both very different beasts. I would have liked to see him try to do something different with the Bruno character as well, rather than just make another Borat movie, but with a lisp.

    I didn't really like the Ali G movie.

    The interview format I think is what makes his characters shine. I mean yes they are over the top and ridiculous but the reactions that he gets from people are the best. I mean he's funny, and fat naked man wrestle is truly a highlight of tv, but what makes his show hilarious is what real people actually say in response to him.

    I don't disagree, but i already saw that movie. Twice. Both times sneak previews (meaning not everyone there knew what it was, so there was the added bonus of watching folks get disgusted and walk out.)

    I don't need to see the same movie over and over again. SBC has range, and I'd rather she him do a wider variety of things, than just keep doing joke interviews.
