AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Mac Spoony what have I done rrgh.

But anyways:

They are the ones with greatest internal diversity and are the largest in scale. Also, they are the ones that the west is best in touch with. So yes, significant, at least as far notability goes. (By the way, when I said two of the three largest and significant, the third I was referring to was India.)

Also, there were Indians (although they were few), and the Air Nomads seemed Tibetan to me.I didn't see the Fire Nation as North Korean that strongly, but all right.

But I'd like to say that I don't see how proximity doesn't result in cultural similarity. The Japanese would never have used Kanji or knew Confucius if China were on another continent.I said "made in the west".

I love Studio Ghibli, but they're from Japan.
Monkey is from Japan.
Death Note uses a lot of western ideas such as utilitarian ethics, but it's from Japan.
Kung Fu Hustle was an awesome movie but it was from Jap-I mean, from Hong Kong.
Fire was from India, as far as I understand. I could be wrong.

I also said "show", not "movie"; I was thinking of TV series when I typed that. Otherwise, I'll admit that I have never seen Kundun, nor played Jade Empire.

But Firefly was an interesting example. I know they use Chinese all the time, and I believe Inara was a Buddhist, but I don't know if I'd call it culturally deep. It had a strong western cyberpunk dystopian future (wow, that's a mouthful) feel that lends itself to being cultureless, in my opinion.

(Now that I think of it, for all the Chinese that Firefly used, none of the main characters were Chinese. It doesn't matter that much, but I find it funny.):I Sounds a bit too ad hominem for my tastes.

On another note, I've never seen In Bruges, but I want to.

And the Wolfman seems interesting. I'm glad that there are movie makers out there who want monsters to be monstrous instead of date high school girls.

Shut the fuck up.

Stop this already, your hole is just getting deeper.

Hole?

As in you have dug yourself a hole.

I don't see how, but all right.

I didn't realize people were being bothered by this. Sorry.

EDIT- I typically browse debate forums, so I do this sort of thing often. I know that this forum is much more casual, and I should have watched myself better. I'm sorry, and I'll try to not slip up again.

"Debate" aside


I saw Inkheart. It's an interesting idea, but... okay movie.

Of course it is aimed at children, so.

no.. it's not... i .. :/
it's not because it's a "debate" but because you're making a fool of yourself


anyways, i don't know if it counts, but i've been reading the deadwing movie script, genius.

fuckin' Bruges

INKHEART oh wow I read that book, it's sequel and the movie. I feel as if 'Bedtime Stories' sort of ripped off it with the whole 'I read a book and it comes alive' sorta thing. Also, some parts of it didn't really fit in with the book - but it was ok.

inBruges is aces high

I knew this bloke once, right. And... he used to masturbate so much that he grew very fond of his hand. So much so, that he began to talk to it and he put a little face on it and he called it muriel. And after a while Muriel began to talk back to him. He would get her all doled up in make up and specially made little clothes and at night she'd go down and make intense mad passionate love to him. Anyway, one night about three AM, he wakes up in a cold sweat. And hears all this panting and moaning and groaning coming from the next door neighbours apartment. And he looks down at his hand, there's nothing there. Its gone. Its just this bloodied stump. So he staggers out into the hallway and he sees that the next door neighbour's doors is wide open. So he pops his head in and what does he see, on the bed, his hand, Muriel, all dressed up to the nines, make up on, going down on the next door neighbour.

It's a true story.

Okay so I saw Lebowski (thanks to a sexy mod) and liked it. I almost kind of saw In Bruges but er, kind of got the DVD stuck in the player.

Shhhh

My mum doesn't know
