Yeah, she was twelve. I think police sometimes *do* feel that they relate more to criminals than 9 to 5 citizens, but I have read that in first-hand accounts of police work.(And I'm not calling cops criminals, just that their day-to-days are more similar than say a cop and an insurance agent.) Don't give that guy "the Wire" or "Rescue Me" his head would burst.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Compassionately intolerant
apparently "assault" in this context refers to people yelling obscenities.
Assault is a very mixy term. Technically*, the assault is the thrreat of violence, or in this case 'verbal violence' which creates fear or disturbs one's peace. Battery is the actual punch.
- at least it was yonks ago when I was on the job.

Yeah, I'm pretty much with Beverly. I'm very amused by the rant, but if this is a scandal then the recession must have hit the scandal-mongering industry. Because "some actors are temperamental and self-absorbed" seems about as shocking as "some screenwriters are bitter and frustrated."

Because books.
I was amused at the way his accents flickered on and off. He's British! He's American! He's British again!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

From another board: "I can't wait until Bale and Werner Herzog work together."
Um, they already did (quite well in fact - I just saw Rescue Dawn this past weekend). Was that the joke? Or was the poster uninformed?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Sounds like they were busting on Herzog's infamous run-ins with Klaus Kinski. Didn't one of them pull a gun on the other during one of their movie shoots?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Herzog claims that never happened.
