OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Anybody seen this version? Currently available for instant watchery on Netflix. Pretty faithful adaptation, and Richard Burton just pwns as O' Brien.

Yes, I have.
It was good.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Burton croaked before the movie was released, IIRC.

Watched it once, a long time ago, but I also only read the book once, also a long time ago.  Thanks for reminding me to re-read the book.


I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

One other thing I forgot to mention. I don't remember this from the book, but apparently women are not allowed to shave in Oceania. Julia has an absolutely enormous bush in this movie.

I have no idea why this, of all RV posts, has made me laugh out loud.
Take that, Adolf Eyechart.

Because you envisioned a chick with a huge black bush. There's nothing not funny about that.

Shit. I laughed at that too. You must be right.

Yeah...between that and the half naked John Hurt...while it's a pretty awesome and faithful recreation of the book, this movie is a total boner killer. I mean, I didn't watch it Expecting to get one, but, uncomfortable nonetheless.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

I told you, already.  If they ain't black, they ain't pubes.  If you have trouble telling the difference, then just remember this rhyme:

If that hair is short, curly, and black, then a pube it must be. 
If that hair is short, curly, and any color OTHER than black, then a pube it must NOT be.


It rhymes and is truer than thou falling star's path may it be-ith.
