ICT classes in school should be binned – IT biz body

Re: Likewise ...

My secondary was called [place name] High School. So I say high school. It's shorter, anyway, saves a few syllables. Nothing to get upset about.

Thanks - I've put this one in the story.

Death threats against 'worst song ever' YouTube teen

Re: Dream following

Erm, she's 13. Bit mean-spirited, arencha?

Re: Not condoning the death threats...

Ha ha how appropriate of you to make that "correction" very good.

Calling all readers: Want some new icons?

Re: Careful now

Lots of stuff around here is lost on many.

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: Chicken Little

On a practical note, I'd like an obnoxious EDITOR NEEDED icon for typos and such. Easier to spot which to act on and reject (with thanks if you're nice, and nowt if you're not).

Re: Not exactly uncommon

Oh yeah? You should see some of the URLs I used to compose here. Nothing too fuckish but a lot of very silly stuff. It's entirely plausible that a mad-as-hell sub could have slipped this one through the net - newsrooms are busy places, you know. I'm just sorry that's not what happened.

Scottish news site hit by 'DDoS attack' in run-up to elections

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: Surely another mistake

Yes it should. Frankly I couldn't be arsed/took pity on them. They were probably quite angry when they wrote it and not thinking straight.

Anyway, strictly speaking it should be 'shue-in', in reference to Elizabeth Shue's last-minute casting in Leaving Las Vegas.

Assange™ says Guardian claims 'completely fabricated'

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: For fuck sake...

You realise an easier solution to this would have been to simply turn off your computer, or just close the relevant window. But then I suppose you wouldn't have had the opportunity to get all huffy and boast about your totally awesome beer/tan/plan.

Got a buck to send M Night Shyamalan to film school?

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: Never!

I think Unbreakable is better than The Sixth Sense. That is what I think.

Sarah Bee (Written by Reg staff)

Re: No Surprise

I recommend The Happening - genuinely hilariously bad (after the quite chilling start which I could take halfway seriously). I laughed and laughed.

The thing is that Shyamalan isn't technically a bad filmmaker at all - he just has terrible scripts, can't get good performances out of actors, and thinks he is a wondrous genius and so injects every scene with essence of PROFOUNDANDICONIC until the poor things collapse in on themselves.

Sadly I doubt this campaign will humble him any, but sooner or later people will stop giving him money to make films.

Re: "politicians and celebrities will not get an automatic exemption from inclusion"

Er, I suspect if you had a public profile which makes you vulnerable you'd want the option. Fortunately, I doubt you'll ever have to worry about it.

I don't think 'bodacious' ever appears in Wayne's World, but since you're the primary pedant around here I guess you had to slip up sooner or later. Happy weekend!

NB I suspect Moffat is not actually reading these comments, so if you want to address him you may wish to contact the BBC.

I think 'poses/raises the question' works in place of 'begs'. The whole 'begs the question' thing is as odd as 'moot point' and I tend to leave it alone.

Re: If i were lewis page...

Sorry to disappoint, but it's a site glitch - Lewis is always happy for people to yell at him on the internet. You can use another comments section, like this one, or email him. Or enjoy the angry feeling of not being able to say stuff where you want to. Up to you.

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's a site glitch. Lewis is always happy for people to yell at him. And if you don't believe me, well, enjoy your warm conspiracy fuzzy.

You can always email, although that does mean that you don't have the whole internet looking at you.

Re: RE: Every movie is not expected to be Memento

It's not about some single ideal - there are so many different types of film and you cannot expect them all to conform to one standard. That would be weird, and all films would be the same and it would be extremely dull, and you'd go on the internet to complain about it.

Some films fail and some succeed on a creative level - it's a matter of what they set out to be and how fully they realise that. Zombieland is one of the best films I've seen in recent years - it's just a little comedy, nothing groundbreaking or thought-provoking or moving, but it's so complete and has so clearly fulfilled its own brief that it's massively satisfying. There's more than one kind of 'good'.
