Happy Birthday Rhesus ... hope you have a memorable day

Happy Birthday Max! I laughed [out loud ... by myself] at your "A little about me ..." description. Hope your day is memorable

Never got the hype around GoldenEye.

Played it on a friends N64 and it felt like an ok FPS, but wasn't really that memorable. Is it just because it was the first decent console FPS?

Happy Birthday Alex! May it be memorable in a festive way

@chingalera have you seen that British Scientology documentary? The guy opposite Piers reminds me of the Lawyer for the Scientologists. Head down, memorized phrases and an oddly quick speech pattern. Also hair that upsets me, yes some peoples hair upsets me.

I can definitely write similarly, but in cases such as those in this video, I get the sense that there's something significantly different about the mind in people who can do this. Maybe it's just me, but I used to try to talk backwards for fun when I was younger, and it would basically take me an hour to memorize how one sentence sounded. I'd still screw it up on repeating it.
I don't feel like this is a trained skill though. To me it's entirely unlike the kid in the Jimmy Kimmel video who can rattle off any nation or capital in the world instantly. I don't know if it's as simple as the difference between those who are naturally good at abstract concepts such as mathematics and those who are entirely, visually and artistically inclined, or something else (call Prof. X! Here there be mutants!)
I, for one, guess I feel the need to welcome our new backwards-talking overlords.

Yeah I hate the misapplication of the term "genius" too. Get's thrown around too much, but may as well just be gotten rid of entirely since intelligence comes in so many flavors.
Regarding the kid, it doesn't take much if you're dedicated to something, but he still knows more than anyone on here. And it's not just his memorization; he seems like a really well-balanced and personable kid.

kid gets bored, memorizes countries. wow he must be a genius

Didn't think Sofia Coppola was terrible. Not memorable, but not bad either. Plus, for me she atoned for any mishaps with Lost in Translation.

✴ACTING! (wrote memorization while pissing the tub)

Hey, if he sucks in six languages he gets a suck-A for wrote-memorization effort and the jurys' still out on pronunciation, inflection, time-and-meter....It'd take a panel of 6 native speakers to decide this, otherwise music always speaks for itself-

Now: Dare we listen??

Feels a bit...dry...she's just playing memorized notes, not from her heart.

I also cried, because I loved that show as a little kid when it aired in my country, watching it together with my siblings as we had an amazing adventure along with the characters of the show every single episode. The reason I'm crying now, however, is because:

Unlike the original series, this sequel is produced entirely in France; as a co-joint venture between the French television channel TF1, the Belgian channel La Trois, the French animation company Blue Spirit and Jean Chalopin's company Movie-Plus Group.
The first of the new seasons sees the series move to China. The design of the characters are more or less the same, although some subtle changes have been made to their physical appearances. Jean Chalopin and Bernard Deyries act as creative consultants on the new series, with Chalopin concentrating particularly on the scripts (which are written by Hadrian Soulez-Lariviere from Chalopin's own draft for the sequel) and Deyries focusing particularly on the graphical aspects. New background music is composed by Noam Kaniel.

It's not the same animation, it's not the same writers, it's not the same setting, it's not the same voice actors and it's not the same memorable music. Nothing's the same. It's the same feeling as with the Star Wars prequels if you can believe it, only with less source material. Maybe our children will enjoy this show without having the nostalgic baggage of "The Mysterious Cities of Gold" series; but for me as a fan of what must be 25 years or more, this just looks unwatchable.
Not everything good is made better by making more of it, and especially after a 30 year period of the series being over and done with. I think that the window of opportunity has passed on making another season of this show by a couple of decades, I think the season they're making looks inferior both in content and quality and I think the people who made the series work so well aren't being emulated, making this creation something akin to a stranger wearing a face mask of the show, something which is copying the names but is completely set apart from "The Mysterious Cities of Gold", with no legs of its own to stand on but only a cheap imitation crutch.

It really is better to stage the vows and other critical moments of traditional wedding memories though-Amateur wedding photographers become proficient in the art of staging the most memorable stills very quickly after a few gigs trying get the all the shots on-the-fly. Oh, and the best usually have an assistant with a camera(s) as well.
