Predator is awesome just because it features two future governors

None, that is a steal, should check some flights myself

What airline?

Are you comfortable with the smell of sulphur? If not, then don't go.

If you do, look to stay in an apartment rather than a hotel. I can't remember the price I paid, but I got a great place off the main road in 101 Reykjavik. About a minutes walk from the main bars and shops. Also, hire a car. This is important. The tour buses are expensive and a little stifling. You can easily drive to all the must-see spots and do it at your own pace.

Don't forget to go to the Blue Lagoon.

Was looking at flights to Iceland in Jan myself. $600 is a good price, don't pass up!

Friend of mine just came back a few weeks ago, said it's gorgeous.

Make sure you bring an ass model and take her on a dogsled ride.

Also about the Matthew Miller "destroy to create" series - I can't decide if it's gimmicky or interesting. The sweaters feature a leather patch on the chest that you can tear like a cereal box top to make a pocket.

We used to quote Chong Li all the time while playing baseball back in the day. "You break my record, now I break you, like I break your friend"

Monica Belluci is usually the best part of any movie. Except maybe that messed up French movie Irreversible which is deeply disturbing on all levels

Her best role was in Irréversible, movie is good not great but still. I like the apartment (Bellucci & Cassel) if you want a romance movie directed like a thriller. She also starred in Garrel's latest movie (a burning hot summer), which was a decent effort from Garrel, in other words a great movie anyway.

Recently watched Leon The Professional for the first time in years, plenty of stuff that I was too young to notice back then kept bugging me. A bit disappointing but I can't hate on a childhood favorite. None of Besson's film have aged well though, Leon is probably the most watchable/least awful of the lot.

Besson is an awful director and a complete beauf. I still like Léon, the other ones are unwatchable.

I still don't mind The Fifth Element. I think...

cognitive dissonance:

when you love dogs but still fantasize about leaving bits of chocolate discreetly in the neighbor's yard

There are tons of dogs in my neighborhood, most of them adorable, but there's this one living behind me that barks constantly every time it's let outside. GF and I have repeatedly discussed throwing handfuls of chocolate chips into their yard in the middle of the night.

Has anybody seen the landing page for the NY Times this morning? It's a pretty novel marketing idea.

There are tons of dogs in my neighborhood, most of them adorable, but there's this one living behind me that barks constantly every time it's let outside. GF and I have repeatedly discussed throwing handfuls of chocolate chips into their yard in the middle of the night.

Blame the owner not the dog. Most dogs, though there are always exceptions, only behave as well as their trained to behave. Stick a bunch of plastic forks into their yard instead. Have it spell out, "Train your dog!".

Besson is an awful director and a complete beauf. I still like Léon, the other ones are unwatchable.

I still don't mind The Fifth Element. I think...

I'll respond in the film thead.

It is with Iceland air. Direct flight only 7 hours. Every time I watch a travel show on it I'm impressed with the scenery. Would seem to be a good opportunity to go.

Jil Sander Departing Namesake Brand
By Luisa Zargani
October 24, 2013

MILAN—Third time is not the charm.

Designer Jil Sander is leaving her namesake brand for the third time for personal reasons, the house said Thursday. Her last collection was for spring-summer 2014. The fall-winter 2014 collection will be designed by the brand's in-house team.

Sander returned to the house at the end of February 2012 after an eight-year absence, marking her third comeback with the label. Sander, who succeeded Raf Simons, the brand's creative director since 2005, founded her namesake house in Hamburg, Germany, in 1968. She sold 75 percent of her company to Prada Group in 1999, and made a highly publicized exit a year later. She returned in May 2003 but left again shortly afterward.

The brand changed hands two more times during Simons' tenure. Change Capital Parnters acquired the brand from Prada in February 2006 and sold it to Japan's Onward Holdings two years later.

Jil Sander chief exectuive Alessandro Cremonesi said: "On behalf of the group I want to thank Jil Sander for her remarkable contribution to the brand over this period. Her outstanding design and creative leadership have been crucial in reinforcing the brand and positioning it to foster further prosperous growth”.
