RITA's LXVII: Why should false painting imitate his cheek

[Brian Cronin]

Here's RITA's.

It's a basic off-topic discussion thread. It is named in honor of one of our favorite posters, Awesome Rita!

Think about it as her bar.

Same rules as the regular board apply, except, well, the off-topic part.

In addition, if you really must know stuff like "what is the biggest shit you've taken?" or "why is it hard for ladies to have an orgasim?," then you can ask that stuff here.

Also, as I think has been born out a few times now, please try not to use this thread to discuss other threads/posts on the Community Forum (or any other forum, really). Just post in those other threads (and, if it is off-topic for that thread, then just don't post it period - or try a PM!).

Otherwise, enjoy!

-Brian

Damn it...i always don't come in 1st !:mad:

[DarkBlade]

Interesting problem in the Episcopal elections. Anti-gay preacher has withdrawn, so now it's down to either electing a pro-gay preacher or a black preacher. Now Anti-gay preacher's followers have to decide if they'll vote for the Homo lover or the Colored.

Hnh. That's funny as hell.

[Ben Morgan]

Took Cronin long enough

[Paul McEnery]

Hnh. That's funny as hell.

You'd think.

But in the Anglican church in general, them's your choices, and it ain't pretty, since the African bishops are a bunch of Phelpses.

I gots me new glasses so I can see the clock across the room now.

My left eye is weaker than my right eye. Oddly, my right eye gets worse if my vision is perfected in my left eye. For me to see correctly they needed to make the prescription weaker than intended for my left.

I also went to the hairdressers and got about 12 inches of hair hacked off. I brought a hair magazine in and showed her the styles I liked and she took one I liked and one I didn't and mixed the two. My hair's a little too pageboy like at the moment for me to fully enjoy it. I haven't had hair this short in nearly 14 years. It feels damn good and freeing.

[Guapo Méndez]

I had my choice between watching Hancock or the new Batman movie.

HEhe, I'm the opposite(well, not the opposite but the same but the other side of the coin... I want to hide behind my hair, but it's too short right now. I like pageboy though. Girls with short hair... awesome. There's such a something "screw you" and casual about it, but still has that french model allusion.

I need glasses too:-) I dunno about my perscription, but I can't read the guide thing on the TV (I don't watch much TV really,but somtimes I check what free movies are watch when you want it for a lazy marathon)

Duh, that's why it's hot. Japanese love super-young-looking girls. This one has the added bonus of having (for an asian) enormous breasts.

Well, you've got an art thread. I might stop by to ask about how things are done. You're really up front and transparent with the paintings, which is fun.

Sometimes the best thing to take away the anxiety of painting is pointing out the obvious, "this starts as a few strokes of paint on a canvas and it's not gonna look good until there's a few hundred more, so quit whining".

I've never had a studio professor be that open. I've had one show work and it was so irrelevent to what they were teaching... I mean, I'm sure she's done the life-drawing and knows the history, but her body of work was based on repeating patterns, color swatches and embroidery, but with paint. I dont know how I've never had a professor that showed "these are the stages of a good drawing, and a good painting, notice how this one is just a few lines, notice how I fucked this up and erased here... hey look, I took a look into my reference file to get this object right, and etc..."

It's so awkward, having discussions with professors I like when they ask about their class. It's hard to say "we should hang out, but you can't teach very well..."


And when I get nervous, I lie by nature, just first response, "oh yeah, it was great, you're actually my favorite teacher". I can't tell the truth like I mean it, but lying...

You are mistaking a vice for a virtue.

You should always lie to the cops, to professors, and to your girlfriend.

And failing that, to your mum.

:redface: I more not talk to my family about things than lie. Lying by omission isn't lying unless they specifically ask.

[howyadoin]

Alright, I'm goin' out for Mexican food and then whiskey.

Later, kids.

[mattx110]

Also, I may have asked this, but what are the chances I could pull off a bandana (5'7-8", blonde, white male), and what is the safest color in a city with a sizable old person community and a cuban one?

Also, where do you even buy a bandana? I haven't seen one in a store in ages.

I think I'll go with yellow, there's not much asian population around here, nobody to offend.

Just when I was getting a good 'poor me' mope going on a friend called. Her husband had a second stint put in today. The initial procedure went well but an hour later he went into massive shock. Low blood pressure, pulse rate, the whole deal. There were four cardiac nurses working on him and apparently they were close to call 'code' on him. Scary shit. He's doing okay now and staying overnight at the hospital but damn, that's rough.

Nothing can hurt you like your own body. Hope he comes out OK and has some time to rest and replenish. A friend of my father just had a valve replacement and it's scary, but he's more alive than he's been in a while too. So hopefully, it'll turn into one of those situations where he doesn't just recover but improves.

Ok, slight issues.

2) the only shirts I have that don't make me look ridiculous are short sleeved and a bit 70s (i like the 70s, but short sleeves is....)
3) How the hell do you get a button-down shirt to sit right and not pull up and down every time you move because I can't wear a short sleeve shirt and suit jacket, that's worse than unmatching jacket and slacks.

1) when wearing a suit, black pants and blue jacket... ok or no?

Formal occasion? No. Semi-casual? As long as it's dark blue.

2) the only shirts I have that don't make me look ridiculous are short sleeved and a bit 70s (i like the 70s, but short sleeves is....)

That makes me think you're talking about a formal occasion. Is it a cheery one or a somber one? If it's cheery, you might be able to get away with the short-sleeved shirt. If it's a downer, then no way, jose.

3) How the hell do you get a button-down shirt to sit right and not pull up and down every time you move because I can't wear a short sleeve shirt and suit jacket, that's worse than unmatching jacket and slacks.

Heh. I've come to the conclusion that the only way to prevent that is to be slim. And not move your arms above your shoulders. And have your shirts tailored.

So, you probably shouldn't worry too much about it.

Also, I may have asked this, but what are the chances I could pull off a bandana (5'7-8", blonde, white male)...?None.

Have fun, no tequila?Three margaritas with dinner, and then Dalwhinnie and Auchentoshan at Shebeen afterwards.

Quick Review:

Bullitt: I'd never seen the whole thing before. It's a competent police procedural with stoic cops led by stoic Steve McQueen trying to protect a federal mob infomant. It's an interesting look at how movies were made at the end of the Hays code era compared to how things work today. Individual scenes tend to run quite a bit longer than we're used to in modern movies. For example, we get several minutes of the doctors working on a gunshot victim. In a modern police procedural, we'd get just enough to get the point that he's badly injured and then cut to the results. Most of the scenes regarding the investigation work this way. Another good example is a search of some luggage for clues. We'd typically have a cut to indicate time lapse, or just come into the middle of it just before the cops find the important clue. Here we get it beginning to end, several minutes. This isn't bad, just different from what I'd expect.

The famous car chase is well done, but doesn't live up to its reputation. The acting is mostly wooden, the story pretty straightforward, and the scenes with Bullitt and his girlfriend awkward at best.

It has two main positives: Steve McQueen's screen presence and a pretty decent car chase.

Also, I learned that they had fax machines in 1968, which I found kinda neat. I'd thought they came in about a decade later.

hey gang. Matt's in love, and has rum cordials... life is almost awesome.

That vaguely older gal?


Also, I may have asked this, but what are the chances I could pull off a bandana (5'7-8", blonde, white male), and what is the safest color in a city with a sizable old person community and a cuban one?

I've never seen anyone pull off a bandanna.

Morning, guys.

Quick question: Do you like chicken?

[mattx110]

Good shaving cream and a mach 3 vibro will do you fine. Fresh blade. Exfoliant beforehand if possible. I ran it under some water while on. Apparently, not only was I not electrocuted but it cleared out whatever was stopping it.

Y'know, that's technically not a suit. :biggrin:




I'm curious as to what you mean by "70s". Like disco wear?



The Picard Maneuver!

Geek test!Kind of disco, but not bad. Subtle-ish. Triangle collar, but smaller than the 70s and a disco-y pattern false plaid. And I think you just don't take off the jacket unless you're taking the whole thing off and the shirt looks fine. It looks a bit better in the mirror than me looking down at the distorted form of what was me.

Formal occasion? No. Semi-casual? As long as it's dark blue.



That makes me think you're talking about a formal occasion. Is it a cheery one or a somber one? If it's cheery, you might be able to get away with the short-sleeved shirt. If it's a downer, then no way, jose.



Heh. I've come to the conclusion that the only way to prevent that is to be slim. And not move your arms above your shoulders. And have your shirts tailored.

So, you probably shouldn't worry too much about it.
It's not a formal occassion, I just want to be formal (or look vaguely like a New York Chaufeur (I've got the hat for it). I'm not sure it'd be worth it, but there's got to be a way to make jacket-sleeves practical. Why would men put up with this kind of shabby tailoring for years?
Speaking of Steve McQueen, they had the new Bond trailer Thurs night and Daniel Craig is doing a decent job of the second coming.

I've never seen anyone pull off a bandanna.

Craig is very McQueeny. Those brutish but senstive stoics with blonde hair are hard to come by. Well, I don't know who was looking, maybe it's the search team that sucks. And yeah, her, and I'm exaggerating with the whole "love" thing. I don't believe in that crap anyway:biggrin: .

And the bandana I like... my hairs too short right now, but there's gotta be a way. bandana under a hat? I need to get the right combination of "I'm trying to hard to impress you" and "I don't need to, you just do this to me, even though I'm awesome". Still measuring pros and cons on the goatee.

[mattx110]

I don't get it, I should. Do I open a few buttons?

[K'Nort]

I need to get the right combination of "I'm trying to hard to impress you" and "I don't need to, you just do this to me, even though I'm awesome". Still measuring pros and cons on the goatee.

Then you're trying way too hard.

[mattx110]

Then you're trying way too hard.
Eh, it's just thinking. Thinking never hurt anyone.

Also, the suit is separate. And the bandana is separate. The goatee is stupid and I guarantee I'll shave within the hour (wrong shape head I think, I need more width). It's just the combination and the fact that I had a crisis of shaving that makes it all sound crazy.

I'm really just really upset I can't do a bandana. I'm in the land of casual thursdays.

I'll buy one. Start there, small. Nothing drastic, it's just a cheap purchase. It'll slowly find it's way to my head, and the second Ifeel stupid, it's gone.

Edit: also, what are the chances that taking on an Australian accent, wearing a hat and whip, and referring to myself as "Harry, but you can call me Pitfall" would work? I think I can pull it off!

Just want to bring some of that cut-throat new york spirit to these hippies. God help me, I think I might stay longer. And I think I might like it. Never been a huge fan of New York. Too loud and obnoxious. Too many buildings, not enough air.

The car chase is what the movie's really known for, and what sets it apart from a lot of others in that era is that the fact that the cars were obviously really driving that fast (as opposed to speeding up the film).

But overall the movie has almost zero tension. Pretty overrated, if you ask me.

[Bonestorm]

Saw the Dark Knight yesterday. F*cking awesome.


I will concede the point about the Watchmen trailer; On the big screen, it comes off as much more of a "cool" film. I guess Dolby digital really can be a difference maker.

My fiance (who knows nothing of comics, but can appreciate a well-told story) thought the trailer looked very good.

The next Terminator looks intriguing from the trailer as well.

[Athena Bast]

Just came home from Dark Knight.

I will be returning to the theatre next week to watch it in IMAX since they were sold out by the time we got there.

Movie was excellent minus the audience.

[Ronald Bryan]

The bandana will only work if you can pull off the Solid Snake look.

[K'Nort]

One thing I wondered about the Watchmen trailer is that a lot of the footage seemed to be made specifically for a trailer, not for the film itself. Ie, they spent a lot of time looking into the camera and posing.

Rorschach's voice seems to be popular but I thought it was too deep and gravelly. He was at least as much a deranged wannabe tough guy as the real thing, after all. I always 'heard' him as in a higher register and a bit nasal.

[K'Nort]

Just came across an interesting dress code for a San Diego bar. Not sure if they're avoiding trouble or dorks.

Nightly "NO": Beanies, Do Rags, Bandanas, Tank Tops, Sleeveless Shirts, Hoodies, Any Gang-Related Colors, Vulgar Printed Clothing, Heavy Chain Style Wallets, Militant Attire (Camies, Combat Boots), Timberland Style Boots, Athletic Attire (Jerseys, etc..), Neck and/or Facial Tattoos, Excessive Baggy Jeans/Pants, Plain White Hanes Style T-Shirts.

[Ronald Bryan]

So, I can't bring Mike Tyson out on the town? That bar sucks. Also sounds a bit racist.

I bounced at a place with a similar dress code, except the owner told me what he didn't want rather than post it for everyone to see. And those clothing articles listed cover a very wide range of races.

He was after the crowd that he thought actually had money to spend and he didn't want "troublemakers." Sorry, but it worked out well for him. The place was packed night after night without incidents, which meant I got paid more, which meant I was okay with it.

Of course it worked out well. If you tell people to behave a certain way (one easy way by telling them how they should look), they tend to. When you let them run wild, they're going to cause trouble.

But overall the movie has almost zero tension. Pretty overrated, if you ask me.

Good point. One thing I do like about that, and the action sequences in the 70s Dirty Harry movies, is that the stuntwork is all "in-camera". What you see on the screen more or less happened in real life at some point.

[Athena Bast]

Bullitt... itsn't that the movie where 6 hubcaps fall off one car?

[Ronald Bryan]

The pulpy nature of Criminal lends itself to the serialized format particularly well, I think. And the back-up stuff is great- I've got a whole list of books and movies to check out from stuff I've read about there.

Maggie Gyllenhaal's Rachel is ten times better than the Scientolobot's.

We are at the base of a steep hill in an area that was once underwater. The alluvial sand is so fine that it is like talcum- it gets into everything. I really think the only thing holding it together is the redwood duff. When the rains come the area is a bog and in the summer it's a dust storm.

kool - my Mignola senses are tingling a bit. Nice and loose though.

hey! I see you have some Lucinda going on - I like her.

[morna]

do you miss your trees Puma - at all. I almost feel that I do but I'm a bit sentimental when it comes to trees - dunno why.

Now that the trees are gone we want to pave the parking area. So this weekend we rented one of these http://www.primetimeauctions.com/auctions/2003/09/20/mustang.jpg to level out the area and spread the base rock. It was kick in the ass to operate- just like a video game.
They do look like a lot of fun to operate.

Hi fokls.

[Athena Bast]

machoism is not just for guys anymore.

It IS fun I have had a few of those moments - people don't often assume that a 5'2" girl can wield a blowpipe full of molten magma and create 125 - 50 pound pieces of glass.

Though that's not me any more all I wield is an oil bar and a palette knife.



I get mine mostly from talking about sports and action movies and not reading chicklit.

[mattx110]

There needs to be a film within a film based on the premise the writer/director is so amazing and prestigious and like, Mamet+Spielberg++ that all the actors speak with the script typos.


Maybe I should make this film.

[Athena Bast]

Okay.. I'm feeling dizzy and woozy. Not sleepy but woozy.

Not liking this.. not liking this at all.

what have you eaten' and drinken' today? If this is some kind of histemic reaction, sleep will help, but it's really better to know what's going on with your body before doing anything.

Hrm.. burger and fries for lunch with a 7up.

Pork stir fry with veggies and cola for supper.

It's also fucking muggy and he's got a fan going so that some areas of the room are warm and others are frigid.

[Athena Bast]

I'm gonna go to bed and see if I wake up tomorrow.

[morna]

you know what's kinda yummy... ?*


fresh raspberries with fresh creme fraiche and a tiny slice of Torta Mascarpone... and a wee drizzle of lemon sugar** ...mmmmmm


(**for lack of a better term) I accidentally made this lovely thing last night on the way to making a nice vinagrette for our salad. It's the juice of half a (organic) lemon with instead of a teaspoon of sugar***, half the sugar bowl incorporated

*** and by sugar I mean organic Panela which is a tasty raw non chrystalline form of sugar


* and by kinda yummy I mean AWESOME

I shouldn't demean yourr nice sentiment but I always chafe at the expression/platitude.

[mattx110]

g'night Morna, DW, whover's left. I'm off to bed.


Also, I hate wanting someone.

[Josh S]

So I went to the bookstore with my mom today. I bought Zot! The Complete Black & White Collection because I remembered it being on that 25 Greatest list Kid Omega started a year or so ago. Then I got home and realized it was Zap, not Zot! that made the list.

Such is life.

I'm definitely ahead of the curve.

I also spent $100 on Futurama toys.

Life is a freight train, good sir. You're either all aboard or you get run over by it.

I'm peachy.

Do what you gotta do.

Things be swell.

g'night Morna, DW, whover's left. I'm off to bed.


Also, I hate wanting someone.

G'night.

Stop wanting someone. You'll feel better. And you'll be able to get things done.

But as a romantic, I feel your plight. It helps for my literary works.

But as a realist, I don't know; I've never been one to want. It's either there or it isn't. But when it is there, I'm all in.

[morna]

life's just so simple for you isn't it

You don't wanna know what I have to go through to make it sound so simple.

[morna]

ah, so there's no conviction behind it - easy peasy!

[DWEarhart]

ah, so there's no conviction behind it - easy peasy!

There is, but the way I see it, I'm not a salesman. I'm not going to try and sell someone on any philosophical or personal view on me as a person or in life. I do what I do; I say what I say. I know who I am; I like who I am. And I'm complex as all hell....

And besides, in my experiences, people never take advice anyway. They do what they want to do no matter what you tell them.

Don't be sad. Zot! is awesome.

Not I. Probably won't get around to it until August.

[StarsAndGarters]

So... severe thunderstorm warnings. A bit stressfull putting them together but at least it keeps me awake. It's heading out of my jurisdiction too, so that's nice. Have fun, Grand Forks!
