Funny Hollywood convention #175

How come everyone in films set in the ancient world (ie Rome, Greece, Egypt, etc) has an English accent? And I mean what we would call an "upper class" English accent too. You never hear Julius Caesar or Alexander the Great speak with a Cockney or Scottish accent.

My lovely daughter, one years and three weeks of age, has discovered walking. Yesterday she took my hand and we walked out the door, to the elevator (we live on the 8th floor), into the compound (I did have to help her down the stairs at the main entrance of our apartment building), and back again. She was tired afterwards but sooooo satisfied. It took 20 minutes for her to walk the 100 meters that the trip covered. And that's quite a bit faster than Curiosity can manage.

...she also discovered music. And yes, Lewis, that's the Cherokee manual, printed and bound.

The guy who put that together must have a
very interesting musical mind. (I tried a little

I have a couple NSFW ones I found online back in the day like that.
One was NIN's Closer mixed with Spice Girls' Wannabe. It was scary how well they went together.
The other was Metallica's So What cover with Britney's Crazy, made like a battle of the bands where they cut each other off. It sounded almost genuine.

Cool. Last Saturday I was in a North Korean restaurant here in Shanghai. Good food - we had barbecued meat, glass noodles and some veggie medley and I had a bottle of North Korean beer - slightly bitter aftertaste, but not bad.

North Korean restaurants are famous for their entertainment - song and dance. Daughter-dear was completely fascinated by that - and the waitresses absolutely adored her.

So, are the North Korean restaurants run by NK expats?
Or are they linked to the NK state somehow? I have the
impression that travel back and forth to China is not
so easy for NK citizens, not that I know much about it.

Posted By: Legend

Re: Semmern's "Whoever gets the last word wins" thread, part V - 09/03/14 10:50 AM

At least the waitresses are there only temporary - maximum two years I heard, and they are not allowed to start a relation while here, go out alone on their day off etc. On the other hand, North Korea is not above letting beautiful girls use their nubile bodies in order to spy on successful foreign Captains of Industry. Yes, I've dropped many hints

No, there weren't any takers.

Most restaurants are state-owned (Korea), and I've heard the girls are specially selected for beauty. I've heard (unconfirmed) that the chain of restaurant was set up by Kim Jong-Il.

Elizabeth II - Helen Mirren

About the only part of "Downfall" that I have ever seen is the scene that is used in just about every parody at some point.

Same job duties and same job description. The 10 minute commute is by car. I would consider riding a bicycle on occasion but the weather here is just too humid and rainy for that.

Posted By: Jedi Master

Re: Semmern's "Whoever gets the last word wins" thread, part V - 05/05/15 01:23 PM

Considering the vagaries of streaming (connection issues, unstable catalogs of titles constantly coming and going, nothing recent usually but the crap), I see no reason to bother. As it is I have just enough time to watch the 2 discs at a time they ship me in a week, I don't need the ability to watch constantly.

In the old days of Netflix, you got the normal discs and that meant you got all the extras as well. Then the studios made a "deal" with NF to supply rental-only discs and now the discs are nerfed to where it's just the film and maybe has a downgraded soundtrack as well! John Wick was on Bluray but in Dolby Digital 5.1???? A Bluray?!?! Not DD+, not even DTS (which even DVDs had), but 1990s-era DD 5.1!

In fact, 10 years ago I used to buy used NF discs for cheap, got some good deals that way. Those studios put a stop to that!

Netflix is actually normally quite up to date, the US version has ALL star trek btw panzer. Our house doesn't even have an aerial anymore we just use netflix, BBC Iplayer, Google Chromecast and other streaming services for our TV entertainment. Though in the UK its now quite normal for people to have fast fibre connections too which helps.

Like Jedi I like watching extra features like deleted scenes and interviews as well as listening to audio commentaries so I'll never completely dump DVDs and blurays.

Posted By: Jedi Master

Re: Semmern's "Whoever gets the last word wins" thread, part V - 05/05/15 05:13 PM

Disney Anywhere offers many of the extras on the discs for streaming as well, but it's not 100%.
NF offers none plus lower-quality sound (aside from the aforementioned instances of nerfed rental BDs) and reliance on internet quality. Oh, and if you want to skip around it sucks, too! In other words, it's the same as the cable company's indemand stuff, and I get that from the cable company already.

Now if they offered 1080p 3D streaming w/DTS-MA sound and all extras (commentaries and BTS features and all) for a movie that just hit the shelves, no waiting several months or a year before something like The Hobbit is available, then I would consider streaming again.

Simple truth is when NF offered it for free I watched MAYBE 90 mins of stuff. When they split it so you had to pay to get it I dropped it and kept the discs.

What other streaming services do you guys have in the US? I must say your US netflix sounds the polar opposite of the one we have over here with HD streaming, regulary updated, dynamic stream quality etc etc.

We also have Now TV over here also which is the one that carries some of the big shows live, like Game of Thrones etc.

That's what ours says it is, too. Yet when I went to stream the stuff I had in my disc queue I found they only had about 20% of it available. They regularly lose the rights to stream stuff as well. It's too volatile, plus I can rent a DVD of Farscape and bring it to work to watch on my laptop at lunch, or take it on a weekend trip and watch on my own laptop, or even put it in the car for a long drive across the state.
Can't stream NF in any of those circumstances.

My two boys are now 2 and a half and 6 months. Harrison or H-Bomb as I call him (due to the H-Bomb affect he has on any room he enters) is now coming out with all sorts of stuff. Yesterday he forced me to wear a life size woody hat from Toy Story and then placed the Bullseye horse toy beneath my legs simply stating 'Look your woody, you can go now'. Which in his mind meant ride around the house riding bullseye.

Re: Semmern's "Whoever gets the last word wins" thread, part V - 05/26/15 10:59 AM

A biscuit is what you guys would call a scone in the UK. So it's a slice of sausage, slice of cheese and a fried egg patty inside a scone so it's basically a breakfast sandwich. The other variety you mentioned consists of the same ingredients but inside an English muffin instead. Of course McDonald's calls theirs "McMuffin".

Re: Semmern's "Whoever gets the last word wins" thread, part V - 05/26/15 12:57 PM

Oh, you Americans.... Biscuit, or "Beschuit" in Dutch, or "Zwieback" in German, means "baked twice". Biscuits are crunchy through and through, while scones have a nice soft center part and go together with clotted cream and blueberry jam, right?

On your next trip over, you MUST plan a stop in Philadelphia (a layover will do) and go downtown and get a REAL Philly Cheesesteak!
Not authentic unless ordered from a greasy street vendor.

After that, only reason you'll return to England is to bring your family back over here.

Bedum is a tiny town (10.500 residents and some 6 zillion cows) in the north-eastern part of the Netherlands; in the province of Groningen. It's the birthplace of football player Arjen Robben.

The Netherlands has a very high population density so a town of 10.5 k is indeed small.

Okay the rest of the photographs are uploaded! Added another 49 photographs!

I had close to 2600 photographs to go through,re-size, switch to panoramic view and of course binned some of them that were blurry or duplicates. Hope everyone enjoys the pictures and some pictures from 2012 & 2014 can also be found at the Facebook Page below. If you decide to use one for a desktop background or share one just please give me credit that is all I ask because they are all owned and copyrighted by me. But I share and do this because not everyone can get to the Largest Air Show in the World. It plays hell on me because of my rare syndrome and it causes me to go down for a week afterwords in which I hardly leave the bed or the couch but it is worth every minute of the hell I endure for my recovery. Next year for #OSH16 I will be there for a week with a nice camper. I am hoping to be there every day with maybe one day where I just sit and recover and relax with others. The Camping places around EAA Wittman Regional are a constant non-stop party and it is sooooooooooo much fun! Enjoy the pictures, share them with friends and others in the hobby we all enjoy

Volunteer to work at the airshow and you will most likely get access to areas "off limits" to the general public. The crowds are still there but you are not crushed in amongst them.

Well I got news to share. One of the Photographs I took at EAA Airventure Oshkosh is going to be published in the CAF or Commemorative Air Force's Magazine. If you live here in the States they pretty much own and fly most of the WWII Warbirds that all of us love and enjoy at Air Shows. They asked for permission to use it in their magazine with full credit and all that of course going to me. I've been published before but it was a long time ago and was for another Photograph I had taken at a EAA show in the early 2000s. Kinda nice to be noticed especially with a Organization like the CAF!

I always liked the bass player best. Called herself

Played bass for the Runaways before their first
recording. She wrote and sang a song called Following,
which is the best thing I heard from the Bangles.

Which is not nearly as cheap as it was twenty years ago. The casinos knew they were going to take it from you at the tables or slot machines so they were more than willing to give you free drinks and great food for next to nothing.

Yup and now most tourists are spending less on gambling and spending more on other things like shows and tours so the food at the casinos isn't subsidized anymore for the most part.

The fence they built is 8850 KM long but nowhere more than some 15 meters wide, and there are watchtowers every few hundred meters. The code to unlock the gates is either 0000# or 1234#. And Judge Judy recently said it has to be moved 75 cm to the right.

From the credits on her IMDb page she seems to have taken a ten year hiatus and just recently got back into acting. Before that it was only TV movies or bit parts on several TV series so Remington Steele to this point seems to have been the apex of her career.

Living in a major metro area, we had channels 4, 5, 7, 9, which were the major networks and then 20 and 26 (which was PBS).

So we actually had six.

When I was in college, in the UP of Michigan, without cable you had 1, or possibly 2, if the weather was good.

Oh, no doubt.

Wyoming

The second least densely populated state is Wyoming with six people per square mile. This state is a large state with a small population, and the most important economic activities include cattle ranching, coal mining, and tourism. A large portion of the land is either covered in mountains or designated as nationally protected (National parks and monuments for example) and therefore cannot be inhabited by humans.

Too true, You are conditioned to think that states should have these large populations but that is not the case all too often.

Riverside County has a similar population level to Miami-Dade but it is over three times the size in land mass.

For those that don't venture into the ROF forums WWGeezer has a pretty neat WW1 blog. If you liked the Martin stories in ROF by Dart I think you will enjoy the ongoing story of Gerhardt Rupp by WWGeezer too.
Rupp's Skizzenbuch: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4400068#Post4400068

Here is the first Journal entry, less images, of Gerhardt's story.

Quote

Journal Transcript

Page 1
5th January 1918

Mein Name ist Gerhardt Rupp und das is mein Skizzenbuch.

A Skizzenbuch? Well not exactly, but that is what my mother intended when she gave it to me. I joined the military to seek adventure and serve in the new colonies being established in Africa. She knew I wanted to be an artist and this gift was a promise to return home to her someday and pursue that goal.

But then the Herero Wars came and for eight years in the desert, I saw how cruel my country could be. We gathered the local cattle herders and put them into camps. As a camp guard, I watched over their slow starvation and soon forgot what the sketchbook was for. It sat at the bottom of my kit bag untouched.

Until now that is.

By the time I returned to Germany my mother was gone and rumors of a “great” war were everywhere. After the assassinations in Sarajevo, I knew I would not be heading home anytime soon. Now I am an “old campaigner”, too young to be sent home, too old to be sent to the trenches. So here I sit, behind a desk in this old rail yard, just outside the town of Beauvin, the Unteroffizier for Jasta 77.

I record the names in the duty book of young pilots when they arrive, their eyes full of adventure and patriotism. A few weeks later, I pull their broken bodies from the wreckage and draft letters home to their families for the Hauptmann to sign. It bothered me at first, all those names, but after a while, it is just a job. I have become numb to the death around me and my country’s zeal to rule the world.

I focus on my survival.

Page 2

My mother taught me to read and write in English in hopes that we might find happiness across the Atlantic someday. I use it now to hide my notes from the prying eyes of the simple farm boys they send here to die.

You see, it has become clear to me that there will be no happy ending to this war. So I do what I need to do. I spy for the Hauptmann, smuggle in brandy for the officers, sell pictures of the local girls who are willing to pose.

This skizzenbuch is my record of what goes on at Jasta 77. I keep it for my advantage in hopes that I can find a way to survive this godforsaken war. And the sketches? I use them to distract me from the pounding artillery when I can’t sleep at night.

You see, I am no artist. I broke that promise to my mother long ago.

All of the journal entries are farirly brief like this one but they will draw you in making you want to know more of his story.

Some interesting trivia about the Third Reich

1. There were about 25,000 black people living amongst the German population. Ironically they were never deported to the concentration camps.

2. The soft drink “Fanta” was invented in Germany by employees of the Coca Cola branch there.

3. Hugo Boss was the main designer and manufacturer of Germany’s military uniforms.

4. Hitler had a nephew who served in the US Navy during WW 2.

Interesting trivia about the US:

When the first Federal census was taken in 1790, the estimated population of the country was 3.9 million.

The estimated population of the US today is almost at 330 million.

So in 228 years, the US population has grown by almost 100 times!

Would be interesting to know how many of today's 330 million are blood relations actually born in the USA to those 3.9 million.

Music trivia for today:

"House of the Rising Sun" was not written by "The Animals".

"The oldest known recording of the song, under the title "Rising Sun Blues", is by Appalachian artists Clarence "Tom" Ashley and Gwen Foster, who recorded it on September 6, 1933, on the Vocalion label"

Posted By: DM

Re: Semmern's "Whoever gets the last word wins" thread, part V - 01/18/22 01:19 PM

"House of the rising sun" should be sung by a woman, seeing as it's the lament of a whore. I've never heard it sung by a woman though.

Of course The Animals make the definitive version, and is IMO the best. Closely followed by White Buffalo.

I had the same thoughts on Miami's chances in that game. Warm weather teams almost always fare poorly in cold weather conditions.

Niners advance to their third NFC game on the trot. I really hope they make it to SB, and win this time! They’ve got a good thing going this season with Purdy, McCaffrey and Kittle +++.
