Training - Thursday 16th April, 2015

[PaulRB 6,432]

Kubrick is not to my taste ManDee. You must be a hardcore movie fan with eclectic tastes or a sicko. I have to be very drunk to watch Kubrick or simply close my eyes.

Seriously!?

Has directed some dead set classics - The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Dr Strangelove, 2001 A space odyssey, Lolita...

Respect!

It is a training thread.

I can't understand why you can recognise this.

Ugh, what happened to this thread?

This is what happens to training threads after about 30 posts. The only difference is that we are not ridiculing one another.

Feels wrong somehow...

Oops I had forgotten some of these classics. My deteriorating mind. Respect Indeed. I take it all back.

Why don't we ridicule the supporters of another club instead. I'm sure that on Collingwood's equivalent forum they're debating the relative merits of Blokesworld.

Fire ravages Collingwood, does $8 million dollars worth of improvements.

Only the first half of full metal jacket is good.

2001 is supremely overrated. "Dave's in a RENAISSANCE styled room! Maybe he's being REBORN! SYMBOLISM!"

I was lucky to grow up in Liverpool in the 60's and go to a progressive Grammer School ...

So progressive they omitted spelling?

Not only is the first half good it is jaw droppingly good.

2001 was made in 1968. It is visually stunning still today. You need to watch it again, I get more from it with each viewing.

I find it visually nauseating, even allowing for its age. My biggest problem with it is the pacing, its just far far too slow. Nothing interesting at all happens for massive swathes of the movie.

Now, Clockwork Orange on the other hand is also nauseating, but in a good way that I think was intentional.

I am loving this thread. this site is a wondrous thing. to think that the people lurking on this site are a bunch of tragic one dimensional weirdos. these conversations would not be taking place at Collingwood or Tigerland.

I should have realized that Melbourne fans are a race apart.

Don't pikeout, log-in and join the mayhem. it will lighten your day, widen your horizons, give you a better idea of the vagaries of human nature, better understand the nature of conflict, sharpen your [censored] antenna,

allow you to talk about any subject under the sun, appreciate the sexual inclinations of certain posters (I did not say BBO did I?) and occasionally read about football. And stop you from taking out your frustrations with family or friends. Escape from the real world and enjoy the virtual world. We are all shadows, pretenders, and we delude ourselves into thinking that our opinion is important and matters to others. Of course no one can give a stuff for your opinion. They just want to use your comments as a means of being heard themselves. Remember despite the ratbags and egos we all have one binding mad crazy devotion that binds us (I did not say ties us BBO) together.

Ernie I think these conversations would be happening IN Collingwood! Very hipster these days. And can I add Paths of Glory to the Kubrick list of classics. 1957 WW1 classic with Kirk Douglas playing a similar role to Edward Woodward and his rule 303 line in Breaker Morant. Great movie. But I digress.
