It's hard to tell, looking at the answers so far.

Well is it, or is it not?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 23 May 2005 10:45 (eighteen years ago) link

It could be, it could be. Just that you could read it this way, and yet it also makes sense that way.

I guess I have to decide. Or do I?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 23 May 2005 10:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Decisions aren't always necessary straight away. It could be the thread you read sideways.

― caitlin (caitlin), Monday, 23 May 2005 10:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Damn decisions. If I can't remain indecisive I'm not interested!

I'm in a different time zone from you. Did you watch Jim Jarmusch win his award at Cannes? It was pretty funny when he referred to the "bizarre jury" that gave it to him, seeing as there was one of each shape, size, color and creed, like the colors of Benetton.

― Ken L (Ken L), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Ken, I know you hate Blixa Bargeld for what he said about Jarmusch in the late 80s, but you have to give Bargeld some credit for his opinions, though. I mean, tastes are relative and such.

― donut debonair (donut), Monday, 23 May 2005 20:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Blixa Bargeld's classic alone just for appearing on The Birthday Party's "Mutiny in Heaven".

No, wait, I didn't see that, but I think that's because my clock's off. My brother set it on Labrador time. He thinks he's a Newfie lately. xxpost

I'm far from the world's biggest Jim Jarmusch fan, but there is such a thing as going too far.

More than two x's in an xpost and I tend to use "n by x post" or something like that.

When I first saw the movie Titanic, an anachronistic Kris Kristofferson quote by Leo D, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose," made me believe that it was in fact a time travel story, and Leo was a time pirate, sent back in time to steal the sapphire for one lucky lady. Of course things didn't work out as planned and he got his come-uppance, much like the fellows in the horror stories who try to profit by (ab)using the knowledge of the future they get when they somehow get a copy of tomorrow's newspaper or tomorrow's mail or, for you Brits, tomorrow's post.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Amazingly, I've never seen Titanic.

― Ian Riese-Moraine is on toffuti break! (Eastern Mantra), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 12:50 (eighteen years ago) link

It's weird, but I feel like we are smack dab in the middle this thread, like a ship moving through placid waters. Although, as we learned in James Cameron's Titanic, those waters may contain an iceberg. But in fact, that whole movie was the fcuking iceberg.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Whenever anyone talks about icebergs I think of lettuce. (And let's face it, if the Titanic had struck a huge lettuce, well, it would have made a different movie, at least.)

It's about some sheet of ice that got set loose after being in place for thousands of years due to global warming or something. I don't know if it became an iceberg or just melted away. It's the second from last song on the album, or the antepenultimate number, if you will.
