On a web forum, which is a great way to hide behind a computer screen and not actually be accountable for your actions, it's easy to just start calling people names, throwing out insults left and right, with no fear of retribution. But, at the end of a day, you achieve nothing, proove nothing, and gain absolutely nothing, while just basically causing a very minor annoyance to some folks in an established web community. Why bother?

As for me living in a cave, that statement just clearly shows that you are young, with a lot to learn. I didn't know what Gilmore Girls was because I don't watch much TV, it's as simple as that. I guess I just find other things to do with my time that I find to be a better use for it, like working on my education, writing music, writing my screenplay, working on my career, or studying films to learn about filmmaking. To each his own. I just don't have a lot of spare time to watch all sorts of random shows. Actually, I don't know **** about Gilmore Girls, and probably shouldn't have commented on the show, without actually gaining a referent first.

But, you just go on thinking I am a moron, just stay an inch or two out of kicking distance.

Yeah...I'm not going to get personal, after all, I don't know you from Adam, and it's just not worth it....

now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

i dont even watch Gilmore Girls
I just got this game from an OC myspace group and I decided to play it over here and just go ahead and the use the example they used, hoping that no one will be so annoying to complain about it for no reason.

jeez, it was just an example of the game, not the actual thing.

but if you even know what it is but still complain anyway, then you're (this is exactly to you sedai but to any user) just trying to start a fight for no absolute reason. Just go along with it, especially if it was just a borrowed example.


jeez

so if you ever go to watch a movie not from the US, i take it you go to a "foreign" movie, whatever stupidness that means? no, there are French movies, which is not the same like German ones etc etc etc, and then there are Goddard movies which are not the same at all as Beineix movies which you cannot compare to Besson, etc... the concept of "foreign" is just limiting bullsh!t for narrow-minded people who don't know what movies are.
but, even if you wanted your game to be limited to American directors, writers, actors... (what about American actors in a Swedish movie??), you should 've defined the rules to be such at the beginning.

Yeah, I posted later that I hadn't ever seen it, and shouldn't have been commenting on it. What's the premise of the show?

well, maybe i should count it under the guilty love things? but they're just sweet, you know that traitor girl in Sin City? she comes from/was made famous in this show, Alexis Bledel. the mother you'll know from Bad Santa, where she ends up with B.B. Thornton.

and the guy is real good too, don't remember his name right now...

tis mostly all about the dialogs, thar are oh-so much wittier than in all other shows i've seen.
maybe it wouldn't be to your taste, but it really deserves respect for its originality, very good acting, etc... and...

... and the rest is a question of falling in love with the characters i guess. (difficult though to start watching it now since so much has happened since the first season, and this is justly that which happened that makes us love the characters...)
it's the cutest show, i'd call it that. and smart too.

to answer to yr qst,
tis a young mother with her daughter living in a small town. their best friends owns a café, and there's some hidden feelings between him and that young attractive mother. then you have the daughter's problems and love stories, the rich and severe parents, their stories too, the town's dumb, but nice, guy, etc etc...
telling you all this doens't make it attractive i know. but once you getta love 'em, you can't stop. and i pardon myself this weakness, since it's all so intelligent and cute and funny-witty.
plus i love Alexis...
