Especcially 1:45 made my day:

All of these are prime examples of idiots, and I have indeed wanted to smash the fones of those who pay more attention to them than the vehicles and the roads they are operating them on.  The issue is once they smash up their cars they may act like the first woman, still causing problems for those driving.

I can't even get away from them there.  I wonder how they would react to seeing this video.

I hate the term "selfie".

I haven't watched that particular compilation, but I have seen some pretty creative ones.

I hate the term "selfie".

I wouldn't worry it'll more than likely die out soon.

Or the people taking them will http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/11/couple-dies-taking-selfie-cliff-portugal_n_5669170.html

I have no problem with self portraits, just that term.  They have been made for a very long time, so I doubt they will go away.  Likewise for the term.  People still say "movie" more often than "motion picture", and they are lazy and want to fit in.

I know, you made that very clear.

People still say "movie" more often than "motion picture"

Or even moving picture which is the proper extension of the word movie + I don't say any of those, I say film.

 

[rygD]

I use em all except moving picture.  I think I have even said talkie when referring to early films with audio during the transition period.

You need to get with the times, this isn't 4ABY anymore.

Yeah, you're right, especially since I am so concerned with not seeming odd to others.    I don't think "talkie" has been widely used in my lifetime, but when using it in context with those who also like old films it works.

Speaking of old films, have you seen the newest restoration of Metropolis?  I have yet to finish watching it.  I love this movie, and am glad that a little bit more was found.  The version I have is missing some of the more recently found stuff.

Not yet, just the one with the Giorgio Moroder soundtrack.

The film was nominated for two Razzie Awards including Worst Original Song for "Love Kills" and Worst Musical Score for Moroder.

I haven't seen this version.  I might seek it out.
