I havent had a plrecription for my eyes in years so the other day I went and got a new one and it hasnt changed. The doctor was like why havent you seen us in 4 years? I told them im scared of op tomietris when the air shoots into your eyes and dilation. They told me my eyes cold get worse....

Thanks for this. I sometimes forget how funny Ali G is and just went and got sad that he hasn't done anything for years as Ali G. I wish there were more comics shows like his and the Chappelle show that are just offensive and funny.

Ali G and buzz aldrin is always good for a laugh

I just realized I made the most horrific mistake of my young life. At some point a few months back I linked my YouTube account to my Twitter account. I don't know why. I don't know how. All I know is that every time I "like" a video it gets broadcast as a tweet.

I "Liked" this video.

I thought youtube's cash payout depended on "favs/likes and subscribes" as key metrics, hence why you see everyone begging for them constantly.

As far as I know the payout is only based on the number of views but YouTube suggests to everyone that they say "like/favorite/subscribe" because that leads to more views. On that topic ..

The worst thing about having linked social media account, and every webpage/article/video having those "like/share this" buttons is that's it's even spread to porn sites.

Who is the creepy weirdo who is "liking" and "sharing" his love of "Blonde MILF taking two BIG DICKS" on Facebook?

I thought the video was really good, if you've ever watched a video give me a thumbs up, if you haven't ever watched a video go ahead and give me a favorite, really helps me out.

Some of you guys may remember UK Megatron from a couple years ago. He was a Special Olympics champion power lifter from West Virginia, right up until he put a video on youtube demanding that the UK allow him to immigrate to the country because he needed to marry an English woman due to America's failure to address the mixing of races. Eventually he accused the Queen of wanting to kill him, and all kinds of crazy poo poo. I'm not sure if it was for that, but now he can't compete anymore, all the videos were erased, etc. Well now, he has decided to take up pro wrestling, and he has provided us with valuable commentary on this life transition by re-opening a youtube channel.

And apparently his commitment to it, along with the close proximity in premise to Prometheus, killed his adaptation of At the Mountains of Madness, which is a good thing, in my mind. The beauty of Lovecraft lies in the fact that you have to completely imagine what's happening, because even the ways things are described aren't really sufficient to do it for you. Putting it to film seems like a huge mistake to me, so I'm glad this movie killed that.

I haven't read At the Mountains of Madness, but a while back I realised that the one truly new thing the development of 3D cinema could add to the experience was a semi-accurate portrayal of the geometric madness the Cthulhu stories evoke.

With regards to Pacific Rim, in the trailer it looks like it has an Independence Day-esque 4th of July speech so I suspect it really isn't all that high brow..
