I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
I keep feeling like designing things but am frustrated with a general lack of ideas. What sorts of visual effects are best? Gloss is in right now, but for how much longer?

So I just got back from a showing of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom at the Ohio Theatre.
It's a very pretty theatre. They don't allow photography inside, but I got a couple cameraphone shots of the exterior, I'll upload 'em in a minute.
Before the movie the organist played a bunch of songs from other movies... "Flashdance", "Beauty and the Beast", "Eye of the Tiger" and "Gonna Fly Now"...oh, and the theme from E.T.
I certainly can, there was a Cracked article on absurd things they did to prepare for the Olympics written yesterday.
I am very upset that London currently hosts a wall bigger than The Berlin Wall, and one that serves less of a purpose.
Well, that's a whole other matter, but yeah, it's pretty alarming. I'm glad I don't live in London right now. I wonder how long they're planning on keeping the new cameras and the anti-aircraft turrets there; seems like a lot of expense to go to just for the games.
N0ah Webster was a plagiarist, a 4raud, a very 0pini0nated man wh0se rants were taken seri0usly and inc0rp0rated int0 the language, s0 basically he's the pers0n I wanted t0 be.
He was a reformist, whereas if I recall correctly you're more of a conservative prescriptivist, a position I have somewhat more sympathy for.
But he was a heck of a successful reformist. I'm sorry if I offended you by talking about him before, but I didn't mean anything insulting.
Is it strange that my favorite part of the opening ceremony was the glowing tribute to universal healthcare with the glowing beds and the legion of nannies?
It was pretty well choreographed. For hospital workers, they didn't do a bad job.
I haven't seen it, but Friday and I where just discussing today how her last dentist in England was technically just a student and didn't exactly do a stellar job on her teeth.
I'm sure it has more "pros" than "cons" when put up against America's current health care, but there's plenty of room for improvement.
Sorry to hear it.
Dentistry here isn't actually fully socialized; being a British citizen doesn't entitle you to free NHS dental care and the best dentists tend not to be NHS.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
JZ's stomach is the lava pit oubliette. I know this from personal experience.
CA: Holy cow. I would not have guessed that was a movie theater if I saw it out of context.

I love this song but it's so depressing, especially since it actually happened to Rivers.
Basically he meets a girl who he really clicks with but then he notices the pink triangle she wears on her sleeve. And it turns out after the events of the song Rivers actually could've gotten with her, but by the time he'd found out she wasn't gay it was too late.
Y0u didn't 0ffend me by talking ab0ut N0ah Webster the fraud. Y0u unintentinally insulted me by asking if I knew ab0ut Shichibukai's dark side; as if I c0uld 0nly have been his friend if I had never seen it. Y0u insinuated miasma 0n my part with0ut even w0ndering if y0u had miasma y0urself.
I'd argue that Shichi was never a racist but I'm n0t g0ing d0wn that r0ute here. I d0 admit he was paran0id but n0thing he ever said 0r did in all the m0nths I spent in intimate c0nversati0n with him implied racism. Islamaph0bia yes. Racism n0.
He was f0r all his flaws and paran0ia 0ne 0f the best friends I've had.
But y0u didn't mean t0 0ffend me s0 I w0n't argue ab0ut the ban. If y0u didn't intend 0ffense than I d0n't take any.

Art deco is always in style.
That's not really a visual effect, though, it's a whole style.

@Gator: It's not just a movie theater--I've seen plays and symphonies there before--but they show old movies there during the summer.
Here's some pictures I snapped. Not gonna bother dragging up the other thread because they're not that good:

To be honest, I didn't expect you to take the comment about Shichibukai kindly, but my position hasn't changed and I see no point in sugarcoating it or lying about it. I certainly don't see reason to suspect any "miasma" in my supposition that somebody approvingly quoting Stormfront and infamous racist speeches by Enoch Powell was himself racist. I did not think you would knowingly expect us to tolerate racism, or indeed Islamophobia.
I'm sorry for making assumptions about the nature of your friendship, however. That was wrong of me, and I apologize.

Imi: Because it is Saturday, and Saturday is a day for staying up late.
CA: Huh, cool. The contrast between the outside of the theater and the inside is very interesting to me. Then again, my reference point is the Fox Theatre, which has a giant neon light sign on the main entrance.
That's not really a visual effect, though, it's a whole style.
okay, how about
minimalisticness?
Do that all the time, am worried that it's kind of a crutch for me. I don't think most TV clients (which I hope to have someday) would take kindly to it; they want all sorts of shiny effects. I wanted to go back to the '90s and do something a bit warmer and more tactile-looking, but I'd have to learn how to do that.
I expect y0u t0 t0lerate all pe0ple and 0pini0ns s0 l0ng as they are reas0nable and kind; and as l0ng as they d0n't act 0n their w0rse 0pini0ns; harrass 0ther tr0pers; 0r expect 0thers t0 share their 0pini0ns.
I d0 n0t see anywhere in the rules where it says that certain big0ted viewp0ints are unnacceptable. Elsewise I'd have t0 be banned 40r religi0us reas0ns.

Also, they're running Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory this Wednesday. The family's gonna go see that one, too; I'm kinda excited.

I never meet any friends when I'm out traveling. Ever.

why does it say wolf gang
there's only one wolf
that's a silly name
sounds like some kind of music guy
He needs to beat Eyesight Man and get his weapon
^^then i've succeeded
^see imi, zombie circled the only wolf
Now then, where were we?
there aren't any wolves in the oubliette either
^Any theater with a live organist is the best theater. No exceptions.
Yes, exactly.

Yay! I'm glad; I kinda wondered how you'd feel about that but I couldn't resist including it.
Spacey: That's because they're all burned up.

H0w are y0u d0ing Yarr.
this assumes facts not in evidence
i don't see any lava wolves here
just want you all to know, this is probably the most metal video game cover ever
probably has one of the most metal names too
That being, "On a mountain of skulls, in a castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood."
it's based on a novel
so i guess the novel has the most metal name
