Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

There is that distinction...
Hm. I'm definitely interested in seeing 1000 pieces of Gold now.
I heard a lecturer at AU talking about the disparity between the percentage of Chinese immigrants during that period of history who were women vs. the same percentage as Irish women immigrants.
Irish = 52 %
Chinese = 2 %
That really struck me. According to the prof, each culture had no use for their women. So one left them behind as unprofitable and the other shipped them off as detritus.

I saw A Thousand Pieces of Gold when I started working at Blockbuster part-time (suckiest job ever!), about the same time I saw Map of the Human Heart, so they're always paired up in my mind. Same thing with Fresh and Searching for Bobby Fisher, which actually have a lot more in common than the other two do.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Loved Fresh.

My biggest movie pet peeve is the one sprinkler head setting them all off.
I can vouch for the fact it doesn't as we had an actual live demonstration in the factory where I work. More than one went off, but only enough to contain the fire, which was highly localized to one set of pallet racking. Until then, I wouldn't have known the difference, either. Now I do.

Oyah. Which is why fire sprinklers are good!! (gotta represent for my mom, who designs fire sprinkler systems for a living.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yeah I heard that explanation for why there are so many more Italian and Chinese restaurants compared to Irish ones. The Irish brought their women with and they did the cooking.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
People will die of shock: Booster Events are closing their website. They failed to offer any refunds, and the police investigating them say they're not co-operating. They appear to be keeping the business open, doing nothing.
Tamara wins all for spotting (and saying) they are muppets long ago.

Ack. That doesn't sound good. What a mess.
