Rubbish.
 
I watched a film yesterday. It was rubbish. Have you too watched, done, or experienced something non-descript that was a bit rubbish recently?

Tokolosh 08.29.2006 01:04 PM

I watched Flight 93 last night. Is that rubbish enough?

Hip Priest 08.29.2006 01:05 PM

Whilst flicking television channels recently, I happened across something presented by Andrew 'Brillo Pad' Neill. He's a bit rubbish, I reckon.

today i went to work, that was rubbish

Glice 08.29.2006 01:19 PM

I'm listening to Death in June at the moment. They're a bit rubbish.

static-harmony 08.29.2006 01:20 PM

I'm listening to my thoughts that's rubbish.

acousticrock87 08.29.2006 01:20 PM

75% of life is rubbish. Fortunately, the other 25% is worth it.

Depends when you catch them.
Early stuff is pretty hard to listen to, but in the mid and later years they made some great stuff.
Simple, but great.


I have heard a few LPs recently that were not so hot, but the films I've been seeing have been pretty good lately.

I did see one called "Super 8 1/2" that looked like it might be good in a trashy way, but turned out to be basically unwatchable.

Glice 08.29.2006 01:35 PM

Surprisingly, I found the schlock-horror nonsense with Paris Hilton to not be rubbish.

Other things that are a bit rubbish - the orange juice I bought yesterday, which was a bit rubbish.

acousticrock87 08.29.2006 01:39 PM

I hate bad orange juice. Even worse is bad apple juice. Grape juice I don't believe can be rubbish.

Glice 08.29.2006 01:42 PM

Ah, you're right there Lloyd. Grape juice doesn't know the meaning of the word rubbish. Even it were a sentient being, it wouldn't know what rubbish is.

porkmarras 08.29.2006 01:56 PM

I took a binbag full of rubbish to the compactor this morning.The compactor was so overflowing with rubbish that i felt the same way myself.

They wear clothes that can be described at best as a pile of rubbish dumped right in front of a charity shop door and ready for collection.But the music is mostly good.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 08.29.2006 02:00 PM

having to wake up at 11:30am

porkmarras 08.29.2006 02:02 PM

Oh really?Try waking up at 6:30 am with 4 hour sleep you scallywag!

static-harmony 08.29.2006 02:07 PM

Having to explain yourself over and over for no reason that's rubbish.

TheDom 08.29.2006 02:12 PM

For school I had to read the short story "The Necklace"

absolute rubbish

Hip Priest 08.29.2006 02:13 PM

At school we had to read 'The Pearl' by John Steinbeck. Jesus that was rubbish.

At times, yes, but at times they have looked dead-on coolness.

Dubious/rubbish:
 


Coolness:
 

 

Possible rubbish, but major points for individual identifiability. I also like this particular camo pattern a lot:

its so true. grape juice is the nectar of the gods.

Toilet & Bowels 08.29.2006 02:24 PM

i saw gang gang dance play a gig, they were rubbish. i want to watch the film of Doom, but i suspect it will be rubbish.

static-harmony 08.29.2006 02:24 PM

I don't like grape juice but haven't really tried it either.

!@#$%! 08.29.2006 02:25 PM

i have a meeting in 30 minutes. that's total rubbish.

i have avoided rubbish movies for a while but the last i saw was happy gilmore-- what crap! though there are funny moments. but adam sandler's "regular dunce with a talent" characters and their sappy stories really get on my balls.

No, not rubbish. It's excellent.

There are a ton of movie versions, but I've only seen one. It wasn't rubbish either.

Let's see...swing dancing = rubbish.

static-harmony 08.29.2006 02:52 PM

No Polka dancing and music is rubbish.

Alex's Trip 08.29.2006 02:53 PM

I wathced "The Chumbscrubber" which was rubbish. A complete ripoff of Donnie Darko, too.

luxinterior 08.29.2006 02:53 PM

Do you like to swing dance? Do you like dancing in general? If not, it should be rubbish.

Savage Clone 08.29.2006 02:54 PM

Partners dancing is funny to me.

static-harmony 08.29.2006 02:55 PM

I only dance when my niece is here, but then again we just jump to any Sonic Youth song or any Be Your Own Pet song.

well it's rubbish if you have a teacher who takes 1 hour to read one page aloud to the class explaining the meaning of every single sentence. also, they could have done without all the crap about her childhood.

atari 2600 08.29.2006 03:46 PM

My dealer went to Vegas last weekend & he's surely back by now, but won't pick up his phone which means nothing's going on...rubbish.

Try and and read the Divine Comedy while paraphrasing everything at once and it's enough to make you want to reach for that bottle of martini rosso.

Let us hope nothing happened to him. Dealers in Vegas can't be a good thing.

To be honest I think you're right about the childhood parts. Whenever I think of the book, and the parts that I enjoyed immensely, those are not among them. I could go into an argument about character formation and all of that, but my own tastes wouldn't be in line with it.

I did not realize it was the sort of book that required an in-depth analysis of each sentence...which isn't to say that it doesn't mean anything, but the book is very wordy. And I hate using "wordy" to describe any book, because all books contain words. What I'm saying, really, is that you have access to all of the main character's thoughts, so every situation presented is elaborated upon and picked apart in her head for us to see. In other words, the book explains itself. I didn't read the book for class though, I just read it on my own time, so I wasn't required to overanalyze it.

!@#$%! 08.29.2006 05:44 PM

i haven't read jane eyre. victorian novels tended to be quite wordy. those bastards had to describe just everything, so i am generally reluctant to assault their pages.

that said, wuthering heights, by charlotte bronte's sister emily, is one of the best books ever.

but to analyze word for word? maybe they're trying to counteract the effects of ADD-inducing diets and teach people to pay attention to details. or maybe it's just some sadistic fuck who doesn't want to spend time preparing his lessons.

Glice 08.29.2006 05:46 PM

I think that apart from Toilet & Bowels, everyone else's posts in this thread are a bit rubbish.
