Maybe we shouldn't be getting complex socio-economic analysis from a guy who doesn't know who Alfred Hitchcock is? EDIT: But yeah, nods break down geographically/demographically/situationally. In Alberqurque, one has to rise to their tip toes and slam their forehead into the concrete while winking. This is to acknowledge another Libra.

Handshakes are the primary vector for disease transmission. I prefer a simple nod.

Sorry to intrude on this anthropological event, but if any of you are fans of Mad Men, Deadwood, or costume design in general and live near Wilmington, DE, Janie Bryant is going to give a talk on designing costumes for those two shows at Winterthur on Nov. 18. I'm definitely going. Her work is incredible!

precision posted:I've been nodding wrong this whole time I guess. I thought it meant "I acknowledge that you are a fellow human being, and I don't want to kill or harm you and have a good day". This is the only sane opinion so far about nodding. Also the nod conversation knocked this down. Last weekend I told my girlfriend while we were watching the Jim Carrey SNL that I wanted someone to mess up big time. I'm not evil; I just wanted to see a debacle because it's live TV and they have a pretty good track record. It has to happen at some point was my thinking and I'd like to see it. I'm 34 and I've never seen a complete freeze until then. I've seen bad hosts, mess ups, cursing, breaking of characters into fits of laughter, misplaced props even, but never a complete freeze. Then Leslie Jones happened and on her first day being a featured player. Thank you Leslie. Basically, I'm telling you all that I'm a psychic now.

zoux posted:What happened? Exactly what Irish Joe posted. She was supposed to deliver the next line and maybe lost sight of the teleprompter, got nervous, and just froze. There were a couple of seconds of just dead air on SNL until she found what she was supposed to say. I haven't seen any stories on it, but I assume she did her stage exit too early and had to run back out and finish her scene. Unfortunately the stream on yahoo already edited out the mistake. The crowd is just awkwardly quiet at one point instead of the entire run out, run back in, and freeze that was live. E: And NBC aggressively removes any youtube videos. At this point I think the only legal way to see it is your own recording. An Ounce of Gold fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Nov 4, 2014 |

Exactly that, she exited too early and had to renter the scene and was temporarily lost. At least it wasn't an f bomb.

I had the episode on last night while doing other things. When I looked up and saw what she was wearing and the picture of Obama in the back it reminded me that I'd seen a gif from that scene in this thread earlier that day, but with no context. I kept watching for that moment to happen but it never did

I dunno if Marry Me can sustain itself, but it has the best one-liners. "The last time I went to a hip party, everyone thought I was the valet. 'Long story short', is the name of the short story I wrote about that experience"

That kind of sounds like "nod with psychopathic flair." Ariza posted:Sorry nerd. Some people didn't play video games all day and experimented with drugs when they were teenagers. The idea of huffing nutmeg as "experimenting with drugs" is really loving funny to me. Like you tell me that's what you were doing as a teen and I would definitely feel cooler playing video games in the basement.

I think I was also very drunk when I ate a bunch of nutmeg. You have to consume something insane like an entire bottle of nutmeg for it to be psychoactive. A friend of mine had described his experience with it as being like going through Hell and that for a week afterwards everything looked yellow. I knew a girl when I was in college that took a very large amount of Dramamine and was completely whacked out of her mind for three days straight. You used to be able to order pure pharmaceutical 5-MeO-DiPT from China, legally. That poo poo is intense. The other day I was like "oh yeah, Salvia is a thing that exists". I hadn't done it since around 2001. I found out that it's a Schedule I drug in 14 states! Even cocaine and all opiates but heroin are Schedule II. But, that's just a weird artifact of Schedule I being "everything that doctors would never use in treatment" so it includes marijuana, peyote, LSD, etc. Basically all the good drugs. Alright that's it for this week's drug chat, should give you all enough material to keep up those fresh "precision does drugs" jokes for a while.

Witches of East End just bit the dust. I really don't understand why Lifetime wastes time and money on original scripted programming anymore. They could run Grey's Anatomy reruns all day and probably get the same ratings.

Everybody just read all the posts and don't worry too much about who posted them Anyways, I'm a couple episodes into American Horror Story season 3 and bleeeeeh...not liking it nearly as much as the first two seasons. If I like AHS for the mood it sets, the great acting performances, an occasional hosed up thing, and the clever stylistic nods to other classic horror tropes, am I going to start liking season 3 at some point? Also, how's season 4 shaping up in that regard? EDIT: Season 2 was the first one I watched and my hands down favorite fwiw

I don't remember couch chat being so hostile a year or two ago. e: AHS season 4 is really well done but the subject matter is really gross. And I don't mean the titular "freaks", I mean what the people in the show are doing. I really didn't like the first couple episodes but they are very well made so.

That's the best thing it had going for it. Otherwise, if you have a thing for witches or demons or old timey 'Merica stuff, it's alright. Not a must-see by any stretch.

Over the Garden Wall is really engaging. It's got a great Autumnal mood, good animation and voice actors, and starts right in with minimal exposition. If you like Gravity Falls, especially episodes like Summerween, you'll probably like it.
