Just in time for christmas, here's a film I made for halloween It's in two parts: Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRfybzxZepU Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdkakkaIlX8 It's called "Just Like Heaven" and is a comedy about a ghost, but has nothing to do with the 2005 film called "Just Like Heaven" starring Reese Witherspoon, which is a comedy about a ghost... obviously. :spider: Spot the cameo from our very own Power_13
haha That was the most random film i think ive ever seen... But then again i never saw Just Like Heaven.
that was very bizarre. good film though, just bizarre. and how can you say 'spot the cameo' for someone you don't actually see. :tongue:
Yes, an error in word choice Mister Lithium! Can it truly be? I'll always remember this day, not as the day that Bhutto was assassinated, but that Jon was picked up for a vocabulary related error....
Looking on Google Definitions, there are some results that don't restrict "cameo" to a visual role. Yes, I trust computers more than I trust people.
That's true, but the error was in using the word 'spot' which refers to visual rather than audio stimuli. He would have had to say 'listen out for the cameo'....
Wouldn't it just be "listen for the cameo"? It's just a hunch on my part, but "listen out" sounds like "did you used to"...a bit wrong, but I can't put my finger on what's wrong. (edit) Yes, this is also my sneaky way of finding out if "did you used to" is correct too.
That's one hell of a dog collar Lithium. It's got a touch of Duran Duran or Spandau Ballet about it. Was it a visual comment on the religious/spiritual theme of the show.:tongue:
I think you might be reading too much into this, it's just the only comedy dog collar I happen to own:tongue: Thanks for the feedback guys I don't really know why it's so 'bizarre' or 'random', that kind of thing happens to me all the time! And you can (of course) use the word "spot" in the sense of discern or detect, which does not exclude auditory stimuli, though that wouldn't be its standard usage. I'm glad you spotted the way I deliberately employed ironic tension between these two possible meanings of the word to keep you guessing... *ahem*
"Did you used to" is slightly wrong, it should be "Did you use to" (Answer, "yes I used to..."). The formulation itself is inelegant but not actually wrong. It seems to be tautologous and therefore redundant in many cases, eg. "Did you use to pull the legs off spiders as a child" can be replaced equally well by "Did you pull the legs off spiders as a child" since the past habitual nature of the activity is already implied in the latter instance. It's a bit like (but not as bad as) the very annoying "have you got", which is not technically wrong but clunky and horrible. It's much nicer to say "Do you have" or "Did you get". Isn't saying "I have syphilis" much nicer than saying "I have got syphilis"? You'd only need to use the verb to get if it refers to a specific instance of acquisition: "When you were in Majorca, did you get syphilis?" "Yes, in Majorca I got syphilis..."
Oh my (God)...Ive only just had chance to watch it all the way through...LOVED IT haha absolute classic Nice one!
