Author Topic: The "What makes me go insane!" thread Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-05-2009 08:43 PM                        So if I am on a plane, and a 500-pounder is assigned the seat next to me so I can't sit comfortably, can I gripe to the flight attendant and get a pass onto the next flight without a penalty?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-05-2009 11:43 PM                     Why should YOU have to wait until the next flight? You paid for your seat and you are entitled to use the ENTIRE seat. If some 500 pound guy is hanging into your seat, it is HE who should have to wait until the next flight if there isn't an extra seat on the plane he could either buy or be moved to (so he has 2 seats).  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-06-2009 01:15 AM                        Point taken - but I guess I didn't ask the question right. What I want to know is, is there any relief for ME if some huge person is taking up half of my seat? There's all this talk about whether it's fair or not to make the large person buy a second seat, but what about the poor people adjacent? Or are they just stuck? ------------ New "insane" item for me: Icicle lights. They are ugly if not displayed properly and they look junky during the daylight hours.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-06-2009 12:16 PM                     Yeah! El Gordo should have to fly in the cargo hold! But seriously, the aggrieved party should get first choice of remedies, within reason. The fat guy should have to buy two seats or else take another flight but if the guy sitting next to him complains she should be allowed to move seats or to take another flight IF he wants to. Otherwise, Tubby takes the next plane out.  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-06-2009 01:22 PM                        quote: Mike Blakesley Icicle lights.

It works again after a re-boot but still.... Might have to return it and get a PS-3  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-06-2009 08:14 PM                        Yes, do! There isn't much Samsung is actually good for. The PS3 is BY FAR the best and fastest Blu-ray player you can get. The reason is that all other manufacturers sell their Blu-ray players for a profit, so not only are they more expensive, they have pathetic chips that are too slow to handle Blu-ray. Once you get rid of the Samsung, you will feel like you cn show your face in public again!  |  IP: Logged Jonathan M.

Crist selling bootleg Viagra What is Bootleg Viagra? On my first trip to China, the screen guy that we contracted was from the UK. His last day there, we stopped at a pharmacy, we were just walking from the bar back to the hotel. He bought 5 bottles of Viagra to take home. I forget, but he said that he could sell them back home for either $50 bucks a pill or $50 bucks a bottle. I wasn't really paying attention, I had my hot Asian girlfriend waiting for me back at the hotel( another story i will post soon!)  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 12-16-2009 03:31 PM                     Any website that as soon as you open up the front page will automatically begin downloading 345,000 Mb of useless trailers, ads and other spam-porn with no way of cancelling that download and all the while chewing up my bandwidth. This pisses me right off, ers BOXOFFICE take note! If I want to see a trailer, I'll click on it. DON'T automatically roll through them.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-16-2009 04:51 PM                        I absolutely hate the latest trend in movies today where the camera moves in continuous circles around an actor or a group of actors. This is AWFUL cinematography! It is very, very annoying! The only thing I can think while this is happening is "STOP THAT!" Why do they do this? People who make home videos of birthday parties are better than today's working cinematographers.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

It looks BAD. Even The Dark Knight does this. And Star Trek (I believe).  |  IP: Logged
