Very insightful
  • You know, if they: break into my house, eat my food, kill my livestock, and then when I get back they demand guest gifts, then they have violated the sacred laws of hospitality (ξενία) so badly that they deserve whatever they get!

    And he still would have gotten away with it if he hadn't yelled his name as a taunt on the way out!

  • What do you block people for?
  • You usually block people for good audience sight-lines and sensible character interactions. It can also communicate relationships non-verbally.

    And you want to avoid awkward shuffling as they enter and exit the stage.

    Blocking is important in film as well, but less so due to close ups, shot reverse-shoot, and editing.

  • Many rulers have made drug dealing punishable by death based on "slippery slope murder". If the logic of that was applied to everything, what's the most peculiar possible implication you can think of?
  • In BC, Canada bars and servers can be held liable up to millions of dollars for DUIs and drink driving accidents when they over-server someone.

    The mandatory government licensing course for all who server alcohol, Serving It Right, makes it clear and even cites an example where a server sent someone home in cab. The person them left their home in their car, and the server was fined.

  • What are the Top 3 TV Shows that define your (personal) youth?
    • How It's Made (with the witty British voice over)

    • Myth Busters

    • Big Bigger Biggest

    I would lay in front of the Discovery Channel for hours while playing with Lego. Wouldn't you know it, I grew up to be an engineer!

  • How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?
  • I come from England but now I live in Western Canada. The oldest building is apparently a little wooden schoolhouse from the mid-1840s.

    The likely oldest standing building in Canada is from 1637, a Jesuit mission house.
