Don't even start on the medicine in House, or the history in, well, anything.
The problem is that reality is 90% boring and 10% unbefuckilglievably difficult and complex. They don't want the boring bits, and they don't want to make their audience feel too stupid. So they go with 0% real.
Mind you, we don't exactly want them teaching the general public how to do crazy shit in real life, do we? A society cannot be 90% maths geniuses - who'd cook the pizza?
But of course my good man! I leave early tomorrow morning. I presume you are as well? Not fighting this time (unless I buy up big on Saturday), so I'll have to see you in the tavern ;)
heh. Ive had this rant before. Specifically over the shite in "las vegas'. But, now fresh with experience from the 'other side'... what do you do when you want and can make media believable and realistic but a dropkick assistant director tells you 'it doesnt need to be realistic, its just a movie, now do as your told'. I even tried emailing the director to tell him how wrong it all was but alas the powers that be are only interested in flashy exciting stuff.
Like they said in "the replacements" ... 'playing like theres no tomorrow becasue, for them, ther isnt'. Not like he'd fire me on the last day and delay shooting for a day to find a double for me. Besides, Gavin was actually a pretty cool guy.
My company was hired to do a software install for BHP in outback Queensland, and this particular arm is based in brisbane, so I spent the last three months or so there, and what I didn't spend there I spend on-site in Bumfuck, QLD
Hmmm. Permanently. Well, I'm back from Brisbane permanently, but there's a very good chance I'll be heading to Perth in a month (give or take a month either way, could fly out Monday for all I know) for about six months, coming back every second weekend until I get sick of flying. But yeah, Queensland's pretty cool when it's not Bullshit-Blackwater. Didn't get to catch up with Bruce unfortunately, but such is life.
Oh BTW, you know that SMS you sent me? Well, Lil figured it out herself and made it common knowledge, so another member of Mords was getting the piss taken out of them all weekend for it ;p
Perth? Shit man, you might as well give up paying rent on your place.
Damnit, that wasn't my intention to embarrass someone. Although Rurik said he'd been giving her shit as well, and Candice said she'd heard her copping shit.
I feel kind of bad now. Why'd you show Lil the message?
I didn't, she figured it out on her own somehow, NFI. And come on, this is the SCA, our humour is victim humour, it requires someone to be embaressed ;)
Yeah I am giving up my place when I go there, want to save the cash
