“As a Brit, the results of this poll have restored my faith in America a little.”
As an american, I get really sick of hearing these kinds of sentiments…

as a Brit I really get sick of reading those kind of comments

so there.

the stop motion film is the first one of these where the guy looks OK all the way through, it seems that some people age better than others.

I now want a cheeseburger

with some P sprinkled on it

I had a cat when I was a kid just like this. blue and green eyes, white fur.It was frightening and absolutely deadly, all the local dogs were mortally afraid of it.

It's fur was like a yard brush, not that anyone would stroke it because it would keep their hand to chew on later.

That cat lived for about 25 years
a great cat that was.

damn, the unicode upside down converter doesn't work here. :(

charmap is fun, plus it has a lot of useful and reasonably common characters that don't even appear on the linked site, EG:

I've seen it a couple of times over the last few days.
Last night I went to where it was 'sleeping', by the Echo Arena. I got right up close.

I jokingly told the security guard that "some French guy said it was OK for me to take it for a ride" and he said it takes 16 people to do that. There are control seats all over it, sort of embedded into it.

Local taxi drivers are having a grumble-fest about the 'wasted' taxes which have been spent on it. If the government asked me what I wanted my taxes spending on, the very first thing would be "a giant robot spider please!"

neither advertisers nor vandals pay ME for putting their visuals in my face. I don't want to see adverts on the street.

It's my choice if I want to rent my retina out, not someone who decided they own my retinal space.

Advertisers are vandalising my retina with their ugly words and strange messages.

Ok, if you think that is good see this...

it really is an incredible thing to see animated pinscreens

Pinscreen animation makes use of a screen filled with movable pins, which can be moved in or out by pressing an object onto the screen. The screen is lit from the side so that the pins cast shadows. The technique has been used to create animated films with a range of textural effects difficult to achieve with traditional cel animation.

The technique was developed by Alexandre Alexeïeff and his wife Claire Parker, they made a total of 6 very short films with it, over a period of fifty years.

I thought the lip synching looked odd at the time, but assumed that it was just due to some over-eager processing of the recording the girl was miming to.
With this following on from the "fake firework footsteps" I am beginning to wonder if any of it really happened.

Some of it was real right?

was it only me who was disturbed by the "gunshot" noise at 1:05

I thought it was all going to turn out to be a very bad, when a nervous gamewarden got an itchy trigger finger.

hopefully that's visible to those outside the septic isle.

Slightly disturbing is the idea that the nerves will take at least 2 years to grow enough so that he can move his new arms, but there is a high probability that the nerves will not grow and his new arms will remain paralysed.

Hmm,
dragging some dangling useless meat flaps around, for the patient : not so good, for the doctors : lecture circuit ker-ching

The original book is the opposite of 'dumb', so if the movie stays true to that your prediction will turn out to be incorrect.

Then again, in the book Adrian Veidt is presented the peak of physical and mental perfection and in this trailer he looks like "Rubber-nipple-suit-anguished-accountant-man"
