I watched Three Colors for the first time and I think White might be my favourite. Did I mess up?

Also Red is definitely the only one I didn't really connect with, so maybe I'm broken.

Now I'm tempted to watch it, even though roast humor irritates the poo poo out of me.

The roast of Chevy Chase was great in just how awkward and vicious it was, though. This was when Comedy Central was still affiliated with the Friars' Club (actually, I think this was the last one), and Chase was visibly pissed-off and pretty clear that he didn't get the "point" of roast humor throughout the entire thing. (I think the story was that he was cranky because no one from SNL besides Laraine Newman showed up.) But it was just a solid 90 minutes of everyone under the sun taking genuinely mean-spirited shots at the guy -- I remember Richard Belzer ending his bit by saying something like "The only time Chevy has a funny bone in his body is when I gently caress him in the rear end." :stare:

I mean, Chase is a notorious rear end in a top hat and has been for decades, but holy poo poo, they just completely teed off on him that night.

If I had to grade an essay like this I think I'd bust out my watercolors and paint a giant :stare: at the bottom.

I had someone hand in an essay last quarter about Florida's whole require-welfare-recipients-to-take-drug-tests thing. The paper was absolutely devoid of rhetoric and assumed I'd agree with her, and went on talking about how the only obstacle to getting this "obviously" beneficial measure enacted was red tape.

For an assignment on interpreting archaeological data, basically really super entry level stats and logic, I got an essay that opened with a half page quote from The Matrix (the part about how humans are viruses), proceeded into a one page speculation about conflict between hunter gatherers living on a mountain and farmers living in a valley (apparently because we had included a contour map of the site), and ended with a two page, apparently unrelated essay on how in the future humans will have computers in their brains that will allow them to think more quickly.

Also, I'm vaguely interested in getting in shape for the first time in my god drat life. I'm virtually unemployed so I have a lot of time on my hands and I've always meant to. Running, pushups, lifting some weights every day, that sort of thing. Has anybody felt the benefits of using protein powder or have any recommendations?

Protein repairs muscles, and the amount you need obviously depends on what exercise you do. Just eat all the chicken and all the cottage cheese and you'll generally get enough, and get actual nice food too.

I'll give these a shot. Thanks folks!

On another note: Where should I go to get more freelance editing work? I've tried a couple of sites but there's a vicious cycle of experience going on in a lot of them. Is there somewhere else I should look, or should I do the really stupid thing I was planning to do later and go nuts and start a new company made of other people in the same position as me? Yes, I am literally asking CineD's general chat for advice on major life decisions because I think that's a funny thing to do.

I just finished it. This show is so good that I actively look forward to the title sequence. Allison Tolman better win an Emmy and then star in all the movies. I love Breaking Bad so much, but it's really refreshing to watch show about an unrelentingly good person.

It also gives you a good excuse to rewatch the movie which you should watch before diving into the show.

To coincide with this weekend's theatrical re-release/its addition to Criterion, I bet. It's sooooo gooooood.

Also, Hbomberguy, re: protein powder, it's great if you're looking to build muscle and you're going to be doing some lifting, but if you just want to get fit, lots of cardio and lean meats and vegetables are the way to go.

Thanks a bunch! I'm not going to the gym or anything but I live with someone who owns some basic weights, 3kg to 10 or something like that, and I plan on doing some. I'll buy something protein related and be cautious.

That would be the one! I was inspired by a Chris Sims article talking about how 80s Punisher was just low budget DTV movies but in comics form and so far I'm not disappointed.

Mike Zeck is a tremendous visual storyteller. That's far from the bloodiest Punisher comic, but the violence feels really visceral and kinetic. As I recall he uses panel borders for impact really well.

I have the hardcover of that, I should reread it.
