    Movies And Their Profanity

    I don't think I entirely understand your points, but I appreciate the further thoughts in these regards. As far as profanity, obviously my take is very gray, as it is along most lines. I don't ever feel it's my place to judge what is right or wrong for anyone or anything, as I cannot know or...

    Movies And Their Profanity

    That's exactly the point and why I personally find frustration with the concept that something is 'wrong.'

    Movies And Their Profanity

    Thanks for the thoughtful response. What I'm trying to say is that we will come up higher; this is just a stage in the 'getting there.' Kids have to test boundaries and their parents to learn what is truly taboo, what truly has weight and what really negatively effects then in consequence...

    Movies And Their Profanity

    As far as 'Deadwood' goes, Milch said that the swearing was used to mirror the amount of actual profanity used at the time, but that the specific profanities which were used in that era and location of the US were so antiquated and odd that they had no bearing on modern viewers, so he only...

    Movies And Their Profanity

    II have to disagree. If we were transported *back* we would be shocked to see what truly was: rampant, blatant, appaling racism and sexism, lecherousness, close-mindedness, exclusionary behaviors and community sanctioned stratification. True, along lines of profanity, perhaps we would be...

    Movies And Their Profanity

    I have to agree with the vote of, "...Context!" There are almost no circles I travel in, including my work industry, where profanities aren't ubiquitous. So much so that I: a) don't notice them in movies/tv(cable)/music, and b) feel slightly pandered to if profanity *isn't* used in a context...

    The fall of proper restaurant service.

    Having worked in fine dining establishments for the past 7 years, I have to say that to most guests the finer points of service and dining are completely lost. Often when one of my servers offers a black napkin to a guest wearing black slacks, the guest looks up, confused, and says "...why?" Or...

    Where am I going to wear a black suit?

    Doesn't it all seem so silly now?? See, if you can distinguish yourself wearing black- in a memorable yet positive or remarkable way, then really, you've earned your black wardrobe. But don't ask me; my closet has been 80% black since I was rather little. Don't fear it Deckard... and I see...

    The Married and Hideously Ugly Room

    Doran: It remains that Cacklewack and I read you with great interest. This, of course, is a much needed and overdue thread. While I can't participate in it for first and foremost the initially named qualification, I couldn't pass up taking the opportunity to express my admiration, and lament...

    Japanese Shoes

    really odd. some reasonable ideas, but the vamp (probably not using vamp correctly here, but i don't know what else to call it) - the space above the toe and leading to the laces - needs to be more shaped and edited. these just look kind of... puffy.

    Very nicely done, Doran.

    Older women with younger men and VICE-VERSA!

    I'm currently seeing a gent 8 years younger than me. It's interesting. Most of the time I don't notice it at all. Simply the people that we are --- our interests, characters, personalities --- mesh incredibly well. As Aaron said: It just works. I actually think that outside of each other...

    Chocolate: A very important poll!

    Right now I'm pretty into Pralus. They have a rad website too: http://www.chocolats-pralus.com/ I was destroyed when Scharffen Berger was purchased by Hershey last year. How dreadful, but there's better chocolate anyway so I console myself with that. 9 out of 10 times I opt for dark...

    okay, so these girls came from a vintage shop i rarely frequent. they are from the 40's, from an estate, and are moderately well loved. the arch right by the heel on the right shoe was cracked almost in two. because of that i talked the merchant into taking 60% off and then i promptly took...
