i.e. gay is an own-sex loving otherwise average person but G.A. fucking Y. is that kind of in your face uber gay, such as found in the kinda club where they seem to have won the 'how many cliches can one place take' contest, the DJ is a fat ugly tranny who talks more than plays any music, and all the bar staff are under 20 and half naked and won't serve you their over-priced under-kept piss unless you're fabulous, even tho the entire place is full of wide eyed married couples and fat ugly str8 chicks 'loving teh gays' and attempting to vogue under the over-sized mirror ball, presumably 'cos it will make them look thinner.
Shoot. Me. Now.
So yeh, G.A. fucking Y. guys, use it wisely!

Last night to the flicks, for a free preview screening (otherwise I would have given it a wide berth) of the Jackie Chan Karate Kid remake:
* It is, perhaps, the least accurately titled movie of all time, being, as it is, a film about Kung Fu
* Jackie Chan only gets involved in one fight, in which he beats up some kids. Way to go, Jackie!
* The movie completely forgets the story's heritage - it's as if the original Alan Bennett version, The Ecky Thump Kid, a dour northern kitchen sink drama first screened as a BBC Play For Today in 1978, never happened
So, we present, for the first time, the ACTUAL script of Bennett's original*, condensed down to exactly 558 words for today's easily-bored youth.
* May not be the actual script

"Go and see Inception and show Hollywood that in fact you DO want intelligent films, and not the usual summer trash and remakes"
If Inception goes through the roof (as it appears it may) Hollywood is going to have a collective mental breakdown; basically all the studios are going to say "So what the fuck do we do now?"

then you'll find lots of stuff that doesn't make sense.
But in the cinema, we were all enthralled for over 2 hours, and at the ending there was a huge "Oooh!!" from the audience. And Kermode is right, don't go to the bogs during it, you'll lose track.
It's a question of categories: If you judge it as a 'summer action blockbuster'; it's excellent. Judged as an 'intelligent psychological thriller', it's less good.

The idea behind it is to counteract some of the spicy hotness of your meal.
Adding lime to a beer you're not eating spicy food with is a show off way of having a larger lime.
