I've seen a lot of Dub FX videos, but I had no idea FF sang. I like her voice. It reminds me of Deborah Harry.

Jimmy Carr won this video by far.

Big fan of Jim Jeffries' comedy. He has a TV show called Legit premiering on FX in a couple of weeks.

Anyone know what that British show is that they had 2 clips of and looked like the stage of Whose Line is it Anyway? Looks like a show I might like to watch.

Now there's a video that would be funny. Have video of someone attaching a flux capacitor to a peregrine falcon and film it in a dive. Add some FX and *blam* fire trail in the sky. Watch the Peta people freak out =)

Fake....... created by 3 Montreal students in a S/FX workshop. Still nicely done though

Like moodonia, I just watched this finally after purposefully avoiding any and all related material about it (save for the initial trailer that was released). Interesting story points, great FX, etc. though the characters were completely one dimensional and there were several things in the movie they could have done better. I kept waiting for it to be a bridge to Alien, like The Thing (2011) was to it's predecessor, but I guess that's not the case here. Overall, I liked it.

Does no one else find it a little sad that people find smoking weed so central to their lives that they feel compelled to cheer on people doing it in movies?
Surely once it gets to the point where one of the things you identify yourself as is a smoker of weed, you are letting it take up too much of your life?
Do people who drink really watching someone else on screen drink and go 'Fuck yeah man, he's drinking! I drink too! Fuck yeah, I LOVE him!'


I agree with the guy below you in that it has to do with the legality and the social perception of it. Look at any group that partakes in something that straddles the line of socially acceptable or legal and you'll find a group that feels a kinship toward each other. Particularly so if the person identifies themself as such outwardly.

I'd imagine people that say "yeah man smoke it up famous people" are people who willingly identify themselves as regular smokers or "pot heads" or "stoners." For such people this is popular culture and iconic scenes saying "yo man smoking is fine or fun or at least not some horribly illegal activity" to which they say "hell yeah I agree!"

Also for me I like the fact that it brings into question the perception that many people who are more radically against it hold. For many weed is just a lighter drug thats a step or two further than alcohol but for many it's a social cancer and the beginnings of harder crimes and drugs.

For me the common use of it in popular culture and on shows that tend to be on FX, Showtime, HBO, etc. just goes to show it for what it is...a fairly benign form of intoxication that is as close to large scale acceptability as anything besides alcohol has been. It shows it's not that different from people whom get intoxicated from alcohol on a semi-common basis. I would argue that many of my professional friends and colleagues have just as damaging results from their social drinking as I do from smoking and I'd be the first to say that my personal use is greater than theirs.

As a stoner, I'd be surprised to see these same attitudes and emotions surrounding it's use persist if it was legalized or decriminalized as that would take away the social aspect of "we chose to dismiss the law/society and partake in this activity we both enjoy" but it would take many years if not a generation or two for the old ideas to fall off.
