The Day The Earth Stood Still 2008
After reading one of the most scathing reviews of all time on Chud, I wasn’t expecting greatness. It wasn’t the worst movie I’ve seen (it was no Transformers) but it wasn’t particularly memorable in any positive way. The plot had holes you could fly a giant glowing CGI orb through.

STOP FILLING THE NEWSPAPER WITH THIS VOYEURISTIC PRIVACY-INVADING GUTTER JOURNALISM, YOU CRETINS.
Thankyou.
On the one hand, the guy upstairs is playing music way too loud, way too late, and it’s keeping us awake.
On the other hand, it’s Parliament.
BAM!
does "Your" really take that long to type?

I reluctantly forgive in the case of a lol-cat, but I don’t get people who type like this routinely. When someone writes “ur”, I hear it in my head as “uh-rr”.
Carking oath!
Pet hate. Seriously, the extra 4 microseconds that you gain by mistyping a word or inserting number substitutes in a text/email/post….is it really worth it to look like a first grader that hasn’t learnt...
Me: Good afternoon, [business name], how can I help you?
Caller: Can I please speak to Wendy?
Me: She's not at her desk right now, can I leave her a message to call you?
Caller: Yes, sure. *click*
Me: (later) Hey Wendy, you need to call.......someone. Do you know any stupid people?

I didn’t think there was any way that V could be better, and then I tried mixing it with freshly squeezed orange juice (roughly 50/50).

Dudes, seriously: care less. The only person, if anyone, who should be bothered about this is Obama’s wife.
American politics are just amazing.

If you like Rube Goldberg machines, this one’s pretty incredible. I think the hair-dryer was cheating because it is electric, as is the vibrating mobile phone, although that was pretty ingenious.
Wow. I tell you what, sir. Wow!
Is there anything worse than watching someone type...
her: I just have to select this 2000 line spreadsheet... [tries to select it all with her mouse]
me: Control A.
her: [still trying to select it all with her mouse]
me: Control A to select all.
her: [still trying to select it all with her mouse]
me: Seriously, this is going to take for ever to select all that... You can just type Control A.

her: I heard a thud
me: Control A.
