The BNB let's review a film you haven't seen thread!!

[bradavon]

I've not claimed to be anything .

I prefer people make their own mind up, especially when it should be obvious. If close friends/family ask, I give them an answer but everyone else, let them decide for themselves because I don't care what people think I am. I know.

Just like drugs, I won't limit myself to what society says is right or wrong but likewise know where my (self-imposed) limits are. Not that I'm saying most people on this forum pay much attention to society, but too many people do.

i've made my mind up.You are a male arse bandit,possibly a little bio as well.took us 6 pages to get there but we made it in the end

A mate of mine claims to be straight despite the fact he fancies me

[thelostdragon]

Also, I never said Islam was fine with homosexuality.

You didn't. If it's not despicable to be gay but Islam isn't fine with it either, what is it exactly?

What it is? Nothing. It just is forbidden. No reason given. The same as why pork is forbidden. Some people claim it's forbidden because pigs are dirty animals. But in fact God has never given a reason for forbidding the consumption of pork.
Or why do we have to do the ritual of washing before we do our prayers? Some people claim it is in order to be clean when we do our prayer. But in fact God hasn't told the reason anywhere in the Qur'an. You could come out of the shower, clean and fresh. And still, when the time for prayer comes, you have to do the washing nevertheless.

I watched a doc once that found women were turned on by both straight/lesbian (?) porn.
Anyway, we should get this ontopic

Avatar: 3.5/5

I havent seen it but the trailer/film looks visually stunning although the story loses points for seemingly being something we've seen a lot before (Dances With Wolves, The Smurfs etc).
I'm sure when I see it for real I'll enjoy it

[IronMonkey]

Oh my god, if I hear one more comparison between AVATAR and the damn Smurfs I'm going to kill everyone in the world!

[grim_tales]

*runs for cover*

[Yi-Long]

It's a shame Avatar doesn't have those smurfs running around with those little condoms on their head. I cartoon was just way more 'daring'.

[saltysam]

likewise know where my (self-imposed) limits are.

As you claim to have nearly died from stupidly drinking absinthe recently then you clearly do not know where your limits are.

Brad lines up 1st!

Mind you he would want death by bumming from what this thread has turned into.

[gasteropod]

I hate absinthe, on my 18th birthday I ordered a couple of shots of it, but it later turned out they were actually double shots because the barmaid knew me. I felt kind of spaced out and the walls in the bar started going all wavy, and then later on I was throwing up outside my front door

Doesn't that strike you as odd? To give no reason "at all". I'd want at least a reason, before I agreed to do something. I'm not religious though, so cannot fully understand.

Or why do we have to do the ritual of washing before we do our prayers? Some people claim it is in order to be clean when we do our prayer. But in fact God hasn't told the reason anywhere in the Qur'an. You could come out of the shower, clean and fresh. And still, when the time for prayer comes, you have to do the washing nevertheless.

I always presumed, it's so you're clean. As in washing before pray, is immediate. Whereas most of the time you don't literally come out of the shower, then prayer.

I watched a doc once that found women were turned on by both straight/lesbian (?) porn.

But male gay porn?

Anyway, we should get this ontopic

Nah. It's a shit discussion.

As you claim to have nearly died from stupidly drinking absinthe recently then you clearly do not know where your limits are.

Well Absinthe is legal, it was bought over the bar and I'd not tried it before. You've never done anything stupid before? I find it hard to believe, you've never done anything and said "Oh shit, I won't be doing that again". Don't be so OTT, it's not as if I'm an alcoholic or druggie. I'm not addicted to any of it.

Mind you he would want death by bumming from what this thread has turned into.

Clearly, you've not actually been reading this thread then

FOUR shots, my god. Some friend. I doubt anyone could handle any more than one absinthe and not throw up.

[gasteropod]

It even makes my eyes water if i hold a shot of absinthe near my face lol, that shit's mental.

[saltysam]

this thread is ace.

Back when i was younger,many times.but then i never spouted shit about knowing my limits then proceed to nearly die from alcoholic abuse did i?

it's not as if I'm an alcoholic or druggie. I'm not addicted to any of it.

Good for you.taking drugs and od'ng on absinthe isn't very clever though is it? such behaviour seems at odds with the image you like to cultivate as a wise,well travelled man of the world.

[thelostdragon]

Whereas most of the time you don't literally come out of the shower, then prayer.

How would you know?

Shamans drink ayahuasca to become wise do they not Life's all about experience, nothing wrong with experiencing drugs, it's been done since humanity began.

[saltysam]

Utter bollocks.it'd be an experience to dive naked off the Eiffel Tower,would you do it?,

it's been done since humanity began.

So has rape,murder,ass fucking..doesn't make it right though does it.

I saw that ignorant comment coming, how is experiencing a different state of mind comparable to injuring and killing other people?

The ignorant prats are the fools who think it's ok to take illegal substances and pass it off as an "experience". come back in ten years when you grow up a bit and see if you still feel the same way...

[Markgway]

I seriously doubt you'll turn 'gay' when you kiss a man for your role.

Maybe not... but you'll still have taken part in a gay act.

I've never had any sexual fantasy about any guy whatsoever, but if I were an actor and the role would require for me to play a gay guy, and the movie requires on-screen 'proof' of that aspect of my character's life, then yeah, I'm pretty sure you would have to kiss the other actor.

You wouldn't have to. Actors have choices. You could turn down the role. Saying "oh I'm not gay, I'm just getting paid to pretend to be gay" isn't terribly convincing when you're fondling another bloke's nuts.

[Yi-Long]

TBH, I don't really care if people use 'illegal' substances, as long as they don't bother anyone else, or bring anyone else in any kind of danger.

Would I be friends with those kinda people? No, I doubt it. Probably because I think it's silly and I wouldn't really feel comfortable around people like that. That doesn't mean they're bad people, or that I wouldn't 'like' them, but it would just be wayyy to different from my own 'morals and values' about that kinda stuff.

[saltysam]

I don't see many alcoholics burgling old grannies houses for the price of a bottle of whisky.it probably happens though admittedly.yet every day i read in the paper of some scummy drug fucker robbing and beating some old dear for the price of their next "fix".

Illegal has nothing to do with it, there are plenty of legal chemicals going round which are far more dangerous than some illegal ones. I don't personally think it's ignorant of me that I've experienced a 5-minute loss of all sense of self (salvia, of the mint family, it's legal). It was incredibly interesting tbh and gives me an idea of what death will feel like

This is where you're confusing drug use and drug abuse, there is no chance I would ever do something like that.
