Bowl snacks!

Quite a few, actually! ...speaking as one who likes 'em any size.

So his box is about to be full of tool!

Could it be a TOOL box?

Regret under the gun today scribbling a demned work MS about unbearably dull software nonsense. In the meantime, how about some eventually obscene Jahar fangirl fiction... http://www.wattpad.com/16992285-dzhokhar-jahar-before-the-bombing-part-1

Whoops! Welcome back.

Would subsequent lines help? If her horny feet protrude, they come To show how cold she is, and dumb. Whether or no, that's about how Hr Affleck leaves me feeling. Never cottoned to him on screen, a reaction affirmed when he and the missus lived the next street over in Cambridge and were frequently encountered perambulating their brat. Now, if you asked me to secrete some Jude Law fangirl pornfic...!

P.S. I still hold that Jude Law would have been infinitely better cast as Ripley than the leaden uninflected Damon.

Margaret Bloy Graham, illustrator of Harry the Dirty Dog and other children's books, passed away last week, aged 94. Acquaintance from Cambridge days, dear person. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Bloy_Graham

The amount of hot air characteristically issuing from Mr Affleck's upper orifice would surely render that little fizz-fozz down below unnoticeable.

And right before the apotheosis of his mythic story, Kubrick throws in a bathroom joke!

My post was meant to EMBRACE my obsession. If there ever was an obsession I was even more open about than Andre...

Wendy Carlos reports: ...The sentient computer in Arthur C. Clarke's story is called HAL (and no, Clarke did not plan the name to be the three letters of IBM shifted one place to the left -- that myth overlooks an even lovelier example of serendipitous coincidence!). In the film the role was voiced by Canadian actor, Douglas Rain, who was able to give a cool, detached -- yet feelingful duality to the character. Here's a publicity photo of Rain taken from around that time. During the scene in which Dave (Keir Dullea) "lobotomizes" HAL, you'll easily hear how the tempo of Rain's voice becomes slowly expanded and pitch-shifted gradually downwards. Actually, his entire performance as HAL has a mild amount of time stretching (no alteration of pitch) going on, as Stanley confided to me. I told him I hadn't noticed it before, and he smiled: "it was about 10-20%, rather subtle." But that was enough to enhance Rain's performance with a slightly more measured quality. It's in the final HAL scene that the Eltro effect is cranked way up. "We did that in two passes", Kubrick quietly explained. One pass gradually dropped HALs pitch down to almost zero, remaining at a constant speed. The other pass gradually stretched it out in time, but not as extreme, as HAL sang "Daisy, Daisy" (Bicycle Built For Two by Harry Dacre). And indeed, you couldn't do this simply by slowing down a regular tape recording, as many pundits have since wrongly guessed (to reach the final low pitch, the tempo would crawl to a near-stop). http://www.wendycarlos.com/other/Eltro-1967/

The Rhine gives its gold to the sea...

'To Africa!'

Grey's nod at the end of 'Tomorrow Belongs to Me' is one of the most perfect moments in that extraordinary flick.
