I just watched 25th Hour. The dude obviously has incredible talent even if he doesn't always put it to good use.

He probably expects that more Brazilians know English than French, and also that Brazil's translators are better at English to Portugese than French to Portugese.

Right, what i'm saying is "It's about making a new model of masculinity!" was a rhetorical claim to make whatever comfort zone they have seem lofty and just. That's the rhetorical cover that doesn't match people's actions, where the action in the brony world was sexualizing sparkling toon animals and pulling on the pork wagon all day, and meeting/socializing with people who have a common interest and have similar attitudes that don't make them uncomfortable

I figured, I just wanted to be gross.:waycool:

ok so i've applied to a couple grad schools but i haven't heard back yet, the problem is that i logged into one of my accounts and one of my professors hasn't sent the recommendation yet, after a month

should i just succumb to the inevitable despair of failure? or just keep drinking and hope he gets it done?

Talk to your prof. I've been right where you are and it turned out my prof just kind of forgot to send it because he had a ton of other poo poo to do.

If you want a return to the Washington years, sure. I mean, Chuy hasn't been caught in women's underwear with a live boy and some fast eddie cocaine yet, but there's still time.

The old face of clearing everyone with ability from the assessor's office, to be replaced by a single race of managers, I tell you what. Just like Washington.

It's an animated series of interviews with philosophers, scientists, and charlatans, the animation providing ham-fisted allegories to the subject matter. It's bad. Really bad. And if you ever want an idea of how much you should trust WatchMojo's taste in cinema, keep in mind that they've put this as their number 10 animated film aimed at adults. :cripes:
