Lulu starts remembering that night in the past, the camera starts a slow push in as she reflects, the piano starts to play, and then the camera pans right - we're now in the hotel room, and Mr. Chow adjusts her dress (the Cheongsam)...

I don't keep track of people who ignore me. Why would I? That's rather egocentric of you to think you're on my radar. I merely respond to posts which I might feel inclined to respond to. In the future, keep that in mind.

Furthermore, any response I make might be for the benefit of other readers, regardless of whom was quoted. Keep that in mind as well. Feel free to suggest what I do when posting all you want though. But the last thing I ever might do is respect or follow the suggestions of those who like to volunteer that they've ignored me.

Ask yourself this: if 300 million guns in America hasn't been successful at lowering gun crime, will 500 million? Will one billion?

I posted two charts above. Feel free to divide each of them into two sets on each side of their mean. Then determine the size of their respective intersections.

Let's try again. Which links have you checked out? Which ones looked interesting or not interesting? If you haven't checked any out, try it. You might find something interesting.

To everyone:

Clearly your difficulties with regard to making overtures to members of the female persuasion are due to this missing ingredient: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmQTmFizuFY

Has anyone actually done some sampling of the list on the first page? There is some potentially amazing and beautiful stuff in there.

Best thing that ever happened to them.

Tabata sprints. A.K.A HITT. High Intensity Interval Training. A ten minute workout ups your metabolism for 24 hours. It beats jogging ten fold. Causes your body to burn calories long after you stop the workout.

Please provide some examples of horror films that you used to watch. And then provide some examples of some horror films or trailers that you've had difficulty with.

Always best to wait and consider.

Key word is always.

Actually, they are not. The only reason they have money is because:

A. They started out with some.
B. The got lucky when they chose their programmer.

Although their programmer bailed on them, it just so happened that Facebook happened.

Imagine if they hadn't chose Zuckerberg. Two things most likely would've happened:

1. The programmer would've been compliant, and the twins would've been calling the shots. Likely, nothing huge would've happened.
2. The programmer wouldn't have been very good.

You see, it actually takes programmers to determine if programmers are any good at what they do. That's the number two rule in venture capital. Number one is passion.

Here's another tidbit of info: Really good programmers go on to become venture capitalists. And they know how to pick good startups founded by programmers (with passion).

The twins are neither programmers with passion, nor venture capitalist material. What they are is a pair of aspiring venture capitalists who are too stupid to realize that they shouldn't be in that business.

They are the classic example of software startup failure due to lack of programming talent.

Tabata sprints.

I would just love to see Hiroshi Teshigahara's The Ruined Map, a.k.a The Man Without a Map, made in 1968. It was the last collaboration between the legendary trio, Teshigahara as director, novelist Kôbô Abe as writer, and music by Tôru Takemitsu. Their other three masterpieces being Pitfall, Woman in the Dunes, and The Face of Another.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's available anywhere with English subtitles. How wonderful it would if Criterion would pick it up. Below is a fan made Criterion Three Reasons. Love the music and cinematography. In fact, it appears that notable cinematographer Christopher Doyle might have been inspired by the work here.

Perhaps another break from the lists would be in order. Lots of films listed here are classics featuring the wonderful Hideko Takamine and Setsuko Hara.

Here's a fan made tribute to both of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O6tdZucyVc

You all think that you wouldn't like these movies. But until you try, you don't know. Most people become enthralled.
