Yeah none of their monologues ever worked for me. They were all just filler and none of them were memorable like the sketches. I saw them in Boston in 2000 on their first reunion tour. We drove through a freakin blizzard to get there but that made it that much more special. We thought they were done for good after 1994 so it was cool to see them.

Anything they have done since is painful to watch so I bought the complete series on DVD and just skip the monologues.

Greetings Januari. I hope you have a memorable birthday and a delightful new year

How much can this be repeated? The saber fights in the OT were FAR more realistic. The new ones they are barely paying attention, flipping and twisting and spinning and twirling their weapons around in a flashy, showy obviously choreographed dance.In the OT they fought much more slowly but with precision, focus and skill. Each blow had purpose beyond pretty colors flashing on screen. Nobody EVER turned their back on their opponent or (for fuck sake) leaped over them. It helps that the sabre fighting was choreographed by the legendary Bob Anderson who coached Errol Flynn and played Vader in the sabre fights himself.

I know, in this day in age everything in the movies has to be fast, showy and mesmerizing but those original Star Wars sabre duels are so memorable because they were raw and realistic. You think when life or death hangs in the balance you ever actually turn your back to your opponent? Or swirl your weapon flashily? No you make every strike, country, parry and guard a deliberate action. It's about outmaneuvering and out thinking your opponent, not how many blows you get in per second.

oh and ... belated congratulations on the Silver Star CrushBug! I'm chagrined to have missed this grand event. A memorable milestone indeed

Love Derren Brown. This was by far the tamest of anything I've ever seen of his. (By that I mean lacking any real excitement. I kept waiting for something big.)

I didn't care about the fake surgery stuff. Lame, but just making a point about how fake it is and trying to have something to excite the overly sensitive. Whatevs.

I imagine the fake contacting dead relatives thing was maybe using things like a lot of YouTubers have done and just searched for people on social media who share their profile publicly. Easy enough to find people who are tweeting/facebooking/instagramming about going to a Derren Brown show then searching through their past posts to dig up good dirt about people who passed. If that's not along the lines of what he did, then I'd really like to hear some possible alternate methods.

Really no idea about how he did the invisible "aeroplane" trick.

Loved the finale and really have no clue how that was done either.

And if he didn't somehow force the dice, either he really did memorize those books with his dickbrain (I bet the boys in school gave him that name for a different reason - teehee) or the guy was a stooge and lying about what he was reading. Why wasn't there a camera there to show what he was seeing in the books?

Pre-set Rubik's cubes? Whe didn't we get a look at them before he "solved" it and while solving it, why was his back away from the audience and cameras?

Man, Nabokov's prose could punch the balls off of anything Dickens ever wrote. You're seriously gonna hold up the language of Dickens as a shining example? The guy who wrote such memorable purplitudes as:
"And in this particular period, the skiey influences seem to tincture the animal life with their own mysterious and wayward spirit of change. The birds desert their summer haunts; an unaccountable inquietude pervades the brute creation; even men in this unsettled season have considered themselves, more (than at others) stirred by the motion and whisperings of their genius. And every creature that flows upon the tide of the Universal Life of Things, feels upon the ruffled surface, the mighty and solemn change, which is at work within its depths."

People hate math because it's logical. People, most often, are illogical.
Not to mention, math is for people who have great memories and can memorize all the formulas.

Disclaimer, I have a lousy memory. Math frustrates me for that reason, but I still love it.

yeah is there a valid...purpose to spelling bees anymore other than to exploit the educational 1 percent of our youth?

does anyone from a public school ever win these or is it always socially mal-adjusted homeschooled kids?

what sort of useful skill do spelling bees teach our youth? is memorization a useful skill in the era where everyone has a pocket computer connected to the internet?

I'm with @artician...I'm not against GMO's because they're 'bad', I'm against them because they're untested, unlabeled, and are quickly replacing tested 'natural' foods and crops across the board and around the world. It's terribly irresponsible science to replace so much of our food crops with untested science experiments, knowing full well there will be side effects we didn't foresee and likely can't accept.
I would also agree that the child SEEMS to be simply repeating a speech he memorized, written by someone else much older. I HATE that kind of BS, more so when it's done this way, pretending the child is speaking and not regurgitating. I may agree with much of what he said, but much of his message is lost to me because of the attempted 'tug at my heart strings'.

Ahhhh yeah. Those players aren't going to validate stereotypes for the insecure when they don't have memorable careers. You can bet every mistake he makes, even mediocrity will justify many individuals bigotry.

A milestone! Happy Birthday HugeJerk ... hope you have a pleasantly memorable day.

I gotta stop upvoting before the end second of the video (or before reading the description).

So sick of these stupid fucking ads that have something meaningful and memorable in them, but then at the end tack on some bullshit product that literally has NOTHING to do with the content.
Now if it were ad about equality and at the end put something like "Snickers supports gender equality", that's another story, but this is shite

Happy 30th Birthday chompa. May it be as memorable as mine was.

I'm cautiously encouraged. They've said they're doing single player only, there's some apparent focus here on creating memorable characters and scenarios rather than explosions go boom, plus they've released what looks like snippets of in-game play albeit cinematics rather than just creating fancy CGI trailers. Only time will tell I guess.
