What's the weirdest movie you've ever seen? For me, it's Outlander. It's about an alien that comes to Earth during the Middle Ages and teams up with Vikings to kill an alien dragon that stowed away on his ship.
Please include the title and a brief explanation of what's weird.
___
An army of pacifists can be defeated by one man with the will to fight.
A Scanner Darkly
Just because of the filming method.

The Human Centipede. Think about it..
Splice. Everything.
The Dark Crystal. A dark Jim Henson
Eternal sunshine on the spotless mind, no doubt about it
Human centipede is pretty weird but for me its going to be dumplings.
Bai ling is a sorceress of eternal youth who sells said youth to wealthy chinese women. Her secret? Dumplings stuffed with diced abortions.
See bai ling in other screenings including the crow and entourage.

How about movies that weren't intended to be weird but are (like Outlander). Because if you include intentionally weird movies, I'd have to say Ink. It's on Netflix instant and it's not bad.

First of all, sorry to derail the thread but this is off topic after all
Secondly, yeah, I wasnt expecting a cinematic masterpiece but I did think that there might be some cheap thrills to be had in the form of uber-gruesome over the top comedy gore but there wasnt. Ive seen more gruesome disney films.......

Hey folks!
I dunno why, but I had something pop into my head on my way to work today, and I thought I'd ask you fine folks.
This question is directed at British, Australian, and New Zealander members of XDA.
Let us assume you're in a conversation with someone, and they either use the term:
A. Footballer
B. Football Player
Would you automatically assume if they said "footballer" they were referring to that sport which you folks call "football" and we Americans call "soccer", but if the person had said "football player" would you assume they meant American Football?
Thanks in advance!
I'd think English football for both We don't really do American Football haha
Oh, ok.
I know you guys aren't necessarily going to be "into" American Football. lol...
I just didn't know if you considered one or the other to be exclusive.
My ex-girlfriend taught me, for instance, that "rooting for one's team" in Brit/Aussie circles would have a, *ahem* completely different meaning than it does here in the U.S. I didn't know if you had the same degree of differentiation for what you call your athletes.
Groovy. Thanks!

We usually refer to your version of football as;
"Stop And Go Shiny Helmet Carry Ball"
Sometimes shortened to "American Football"
Go Packers
Also, last I heard football was over because all the players are too busy sleeping with prostitutes to actually play football anymore. That could just be the BBC/Daily Mail scaremongering though.

In the UK, Footballer & football player are the same thing, they mean soccer player.
In Australia, they call it soccer and soccer player...football (footy) is either NRL(National Rugby League) or AFL (Australian Football League).
Well I'm not British but I watch the english premier league a lot and go to a lot of games (btw Bolton are beating Arsenal!!) and I'd assume that when you're talking about a footballer that it's the premier league and a football player is like NFL. That might be because I'm one of of few who actually know how to play NFL football and how the rules work and follow it.

Over here, we call them footballers, football players, the-idiot-who-lost-my-200-dollar-bet-because-he-couldn't-score-from-point-blank, the-sissy-diver, and probably that-ambiguously-gay-dude-who-keeps-hugging-everyone.
Oh, and we call them people who carry the "football" around with their hands retards.
You folks are awesome, and this thread made me laugh. Trust me, today I could do with a laugh, so thanks very much!
My ex-g/f and I had a number of conversations about the differences between Australia/Europe and the U.S. vis à vis both sports and school. She told me few interesting things.
1. Australia doesn't have schools with big sports teams. The notion of big money teams that aren't professional teams is, I gather, essentially an unknown concept.
2. You don't ask "What team are you rooting for?" because "rooting" means having sex with.
3. Students really don't get to pick what professors they have in college for their classes.
(She also put me wise to the Australia/NZ rivalry and jokes, but I really don't remember them. Well, except for the sheep jokes, but those are really baa-aa-aa-ad.)

I think that school thing really only happens in North America. I haven't heard of one country in Europe that has like big teams that are a school. They are mostly just formed from people getting together and forming a 'club'. That's basically how all football teams are over here. And the football teams have the professional team, then under teams for like kids and so on. Like there isn't only one Manchester United team for example, they have the reserves team and then youth teams.
Sadly, most schools in Britain these days dont receive enough funding to teach basic maths and English.... let alone fund a seriously competitive sporting team.

I was actually only referring to colleges, not K-12 schools. In that, sadly, the U.K. and the U.S. are essentially the same. There's so much that's not taught or done in schools that was taught or done not that long ago.
Part of the problem is the whole "teach to the test" phenomenon associated with the various state-level tests. Washington DC wants to have the states give that up in favor of pushing its own nationally standardized test. The problem there is twofold:
1. More and more power concentrated and centralized in one all-powerful authority;
2. Replacing one "teach to the test" environment with another one.
Anyhow, I don't intend to turn this into a political debate (which if we keep going down this road it surely will be), I'm simply curious about the differences.
Thanks again!

Castle, 24, Transformers, and Star Wars do not really qualify as Sitcoms.
Honestly, since Seinfeld, Family Matters and a few others have gone off air there aren't any that I watch regularly. Most of them are just dumb.
Nice sitcoms you have there...
I like Big Bang Theory, Friends, Two and a Half Men and How I Met Your Mother.
The big bang theory, Dexter the one with the killer, How I met Your Mother and Chuck
This really isn't trolling I'm just curious.
Does anyone really find two and a half men funny? I've seen pretty much every episode (until Sheen got fired) and can't say I ever found it to actually be funny.

I guess I am missing your point. Caffeine is the number one addiction in the world. My lips get addicted to chap stick when I use it. I'm addicted to my prescribed medicine that i have to take because of my chemical imbalance, but it is absolutely necessary that I take it. Many of us are addicted to XDA, or the internets in general.
Smoking, while it is addictive, is a hobby of mine.
Edit: I just thought of another good one, exercise is a common addiction.

A hobby is something you do in your spare time that you enjoy and don't really profit from. Smoking most definitely qualifies. There are hundreds of kinds of tobacco for any kind of smoking experience, be it pipe, cigar, roll-your-own, etc. It's almost a lifestyle.
