2012: What Brought Us Together

ZappaDanMan says...

Let us not have another year like this. Be kind to your brothers and sisters, and hope to a new future where petty grievances are a thing of the past.

Fuck, I don't know what I'm saying. It all seems insignificant of what I thought that was important in the past year. My problems are a piss in the pool in comparison.

Yeah, it was meant to be F1 cars; but Bernie Ecclestone (F1 commercial rights holder) decided against it, as he thought Stallone would give F1 a bad name.

He was right: It earned seven nominations at the 22nd Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Screen Couple (Burt Reynolds and Sylvester Stallone) and twice for Worst Supporting Actor (Reynolds and Stallone), with Estella Warren winning Worst Supporting Actress (also for Planet of the Apes).

Here is an Excelent Racing movie: Grand Prix (1966)

It won the Academy Award Oscar for: Best Effects / Sound Effects, Best Film Editing, Best Sound in 1967.

It's the only Official F1 movie. The sound is quite incredibly. There is a scene in the movie; as they race around the streets of Monaco, with a Panavision 65mm camera strapped to the hood of the car.

All the best,

Thanks for the *promote

There haven't been enough movies featuring racing cars, and even more so for F1. The French film Taxi (or taxi driver, or something like that) purported to have F1 cars, but they looked more like F3000 to me, there were a few others spread over many years... and then there's Rush and the Senna film all at once - life is good

Wasn't the Stallone one featuring Indy cars?

Rush (2013) official movie trailer - behind the scene

ZappaDanMan jokingly says...

Pfft. Looks like an unrealistic depiction of Formula One motor sport.

Where is Sylvester Stallone, doing a 500 meter power drift. Where he picked up 3 nickels on the track, with the back tire; on an oval racing track (it's a mandatory part of F1 qualifying; since the great evening wear debacle ("wardrobe malfunction incident"), to weed out slow drivers).

I guess I'll *promote. No big whoop; wanna fight about it?

Obama about Guns & Commonsense, 5 days after Sandy Hook

Sounds like they're headed in the direction Australia did in 1996, with a ban on semi-automatic rifles and all semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns. Though without a gun-buy back and destruction scheme, it would be pretty useless.

The Australian government raised $500m (through a one-off increase in the Medicare levy) for the scheme, which led to the destruction of 631,000 firearms (mostly semi-auto .22 rimfires, semi-automatic shotguns and pump-action shotguns).

Roughly 80% of Australians supported the action by the government; main opposers being sporting shooters and farmers.

What the Inside of a Dishwasher Looks Like While it's On

ZappaDanMan says...

"Dishwashers are one of the biggest scams, other than the federal reserve, after ice cube tray anger ... ... A dishwasher doesn't scrub the dishes. You ever take a piss and you see a skid mark and just start peeing on it; that's what a dishwasher does."
