    The most frightening motion pictures?

    The basis of a real 'horror' experience in film is to imagine yourself in that situation and how you would deal with it, in which case, by far the scariest film I've seen in the last 20 years is this, which illustrates all too well, that no 'monster' the mind can devise is as scary as real...

    Movies about the French Resistance, any suggestions?

    Let's not forget that according to unbiased accounts, the biggest and by far the best-organised and most effective component of the resistance were the Communists, which didn't suit lots of people then or now.

    The Antipodean thread

    Shameless self promotion here: my indigenous music project is touring Melbourne in a couple of weeks, not very retro to be sure, but unlike anything you've heard before. URL=http://img46.imageshack.us/i/melpost22.jpg/][/URL]

    Unpopular music opinions

    exactly, listen to any Miles recording by Teo Macero, and you'll hear bits spliced in and out all over the place, the Jack Johnson album was made up of a LOT of different takes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Complete_Jack_Johnson_Sessions I think that technology has made it possible these days...

    I remember when.....

    When I was about 15 I was at a school dance when I saw a bloke outside I didn't like (and VV) so anyway a fight ensued, and we were going hammer and tongs when next minute we were dragged apart by the biggest cop I'd ever seen, 'what are you doin you *&^^%$" I said, and he promptly delivered a...

    Misconceptions of World War II

    Numbers are just numbers and can't portray individual tragedies, but definitely not on the same scale, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Jewish_pogroms_in_the_Russian_Empire

    Misconceptions of World War II

    I don't wish to start a firestorm here, but Judaism is definitely a 'religion' and not a strict racial designation: I used to get my piroshkis from a Russian Jewish deli, where the brothers who ran it were all blue-eyed redheads with blonde wives, and all as orthodox as you could get, I know...

    "Has the economic situation put a crimp in your style?"

    No it's not legislative, just economic, and yet it's a negative spiral....as the bands get worse, less people go to the pub which makes the manager hire even cheaper and shittier bands which drives more patrons away leaving the hard core of aggressive morons and losers who want to fight those...

    "Has the economic situation put a crimp in your style?"

    Hell yes, my band has gone from an average of 40 well-paid gigs a year two years ago to less than 20 now...cobbled-together bands of low-rent amateurs are travelling hundreds of kilometres to play in our venues for 1/3 of what we charge...the scummiest drongoes with midi-file backing are...

    Blundstone boots 500's

    I had a pair of Blunnies of the old style, but they had one major drawback for me, once the old 'hard' soles wore down a bit, they became slippery on wet metal, causing several dings to my person getting on and off the tractor, and in the end I considered them far too dangerous to wear, my fav...

    What should one do to an old coat or new jacket to protect it or restore it?

    I have an old Hercules bike jacket that became utterly riddled with mold in the recent Big Wet here, all up inside the sleeves it was just caked with it, so i took a punt and threw it in the washing machine..the water turned BLACK, and one pocket virtually fell off, but after a good drying out...
