Random Rants LVII: wow. many anger. very whining.

[Civ'ed]

Joan posted a rant about a movie on his facebook and I don't understand Catalan ;_;

 

[JohannaK]

The gist of it is: Don't waste money in a ticket to watch The Imitation Game.

 

[ReindeerThistle]

I don't pay to watch films.

 

[bhsup]

I SORT of agree with you, RT, in that I very, very rarely will pay to go see one at a movie theatre. That's why I'll definitely see Selma, but not until it is on Amazon Prime or something.

OH! But you know one I did pay for? Like... damn, last fall sometime? Damned thing has been sitting on my TV since I ordered it at your behest. I promise you, I mean totally promise you, I will put aside Dragon Age: Inquisition tonight and watch 9th Company instead.

 

[JohannaK]

Well, I now have 're-opening' cinema close to my place. Movies which have fallen from every other cinema's schedules, generally auteur or critically acclaimed (they're mostly really good) for just 3€. 2€ on Wednesdays.

I'm gonna watch Marion Cotillard's Oscar-nomination movie in 15 minutes there.

The State of Norway would like to offer you a lifetime supply of cod and crude oil if you stop slagging off the amazing piece of quality entertainment that is The Imitation Game. As it directed by a norwegian chap this is one of the few times the norwegian film industry is getting any international attention.

If true then The Imitation Game sucks and is the single worst and most horrendous thing created by mankind.

I gets my lifetime supply of cod and crude oil now?

Oh, so that's why I can't pronounce the name of the director.

 

[bhavv]

Where is my cod? I am impatient, and nowhere sells cod anymore.

 

[Snerk]

NO COD FOR YOU!

 

[gay_Aleks]

No oils, either!

 

[SamSniped]

You clearly don't live on Cape Cod.

 

[Zack]

You clearly don't live on Cape Cod.

Don't you know that it's insane? Don't you want to get out of Cape Cod, out of Cape Cod tonight?

 

[Takhisis]

Actual rant: DAMN. I don't know if it's just the Catalan, Spanish or the European system that's exceedingly rigid or if it's just my university or faculty, but I just can't find equivalent Linguistics subjects to apply for this exchange which I really want. Why the Hell are HALF of my subjects mandatory and Linguistics-related? The Majors/Minors system seems much more organic and flexible.

Majors/Minors? By jove, you're siding with the colonials now.

B-b-b-b-but Trolljeggeren!

 

[JohannaK]

It is the Australian system. It was such a pain to find matching subjects for my MANDATORY LINGUISTICS subjects that, if my application goes through, I will be doing 1rst, 2nd and 3rd year subjects.

 

[Lohrenswald]

B-b-b-b-but Trolljeggeren!

Rant: You can't spell "jegeren"

Also, that movie is so bad.

 

[Takhisis]

I was typing in a hurry.

And that movie is so bad it's good!

 

[gay_Aleks]

Gah. That phrase and "guilty pleasures", it's sister synonym always make me cringe. Would a botched colonoscopy be so bad, it's good?

 

[Lohrenswald]

I was typing in a hurry.

And that movie is so bad it's good!

But you have done it twice.

I'm onto you.

 

[Snerk]

Trolljegeren was awesome.
