    There's a story about how Dali went to expensive restaurants and ordered the most expensive shit. Then he paid with a check.

    Before handing the check over, he made a doodle on it.

    Then the restaurant people were all "holy shit, the Great Master made a doodle on our check! We shall frame this masterpiece and hang in on our wall!"

    And then Dali was all :winky: and twirled his mustache.

    How's that working out for him?

    He got free lunches... until the economy tanked and the restaurants decided to cash in the checks.

    Which, now that I think about it, is a great analogy for the American economy.

    Hahaha.

    I went once to watch Pulp Fiction when our student theater was showing it. All the kids who worked there and a few of their other film student friends were on the back-row. What did they do? Said almost every line of the film along with the characters.

    Remember the scene in Boiler Room where they watch Wall Street? It was like that, and I wanted to punch them in the face and nutballs.

    I admit I do that in my head with Die Hard.

    This is interesting, but not interesting enough for a full thread.

    he next time someone cuts you off on your morning commute, don't be so quick to call the driver a jerk; you may have a reason to say thanks. According to the latest physics research, rule-breakers (drivers passing you on the wrong side or changing lanes too close to the intersection) actually help smooth the flow of traffic for the rest of us.

    "The interesting finding is that if most of the people are law-abiding, and you have a certain amount of people who are breaking the rule, then you are actually getting the minimum chance of a [traffic] jam," said Petter Minnhagen, a physicist at Sweden's Umea University and an author of the paper published in the journal Physical Review E.

    ...

    Because rule-breakers "carve out their own path," Flynn said, they dilute large concentrations of rule-abiders moving in the same way. He pointed out an example familiar to anyone who has driven on a two-lane road: breaking the speed limit to pass a slow vehicle prevents a long chain of cars from forming.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    Seriously, thought, Pound is hella neglected. Had the Cantos been more popular, I dare say that the history of literature would be much different.

    Film Buffs/Geeks overall are annoying but there are a few good ones. I spent a lot of time hanging around Aint it Cool News folks online, once upon a time. I used to fancy myself a film buff. But then I finally stopped lying to myself and realized that I honestly only care for movies with spaceships or swords and sorcery, and generally having a happy ending. I am at peace with myself now. I am a true blue escapist.

    Film Scholars are really annoying.

    they have massive inferiority complexes from comparing themselves to Literature Scholars.

    so they are purposely more obtuse and retard to compensate.

    That's fine man, where I hate film buffs is the annoying ones will tell you, you are wrong. Appreciation of a film is a very subjective thing, there is no true right or wrong (except for people who like magnolia you are kid fuckers).

    My favorite film geek is Moriarty formerly of AICN, now he's on some other site he co-owns or something. I don't like the format.

    Anyway, he's amazingly knowledgeable but also down to earth and can understand liking trash films because they entertain. He's also a screenwriter. Did a couple of episodes of Masters of Horror, but I'm not a horror buff.
