What Are You Doing RIGHT NOW? Part ELEVEN: Through the Wormhole...

[RockBandRocker]

So, I've used Twitter and Facebook to enter a contest to meet Muse backstage on the Spring U.S. tour.

I have no idea what would happen if by some chance I win.

how come every programmer job here is asking for me to know PHP... a programming language that I did not learn in school

Why didnt you learn it in school? It was the first language I learned.

Almost nobody teaches PHP, save for possibly some community and technical colleges (I think BGCTC here offers a class in it)... it's the classic example of the difference between computer science as an academic discipline and computer science as a job skill. (One of my friends has an MS in CS and had the same issue... he's amazing with C# and C++ and has good skills managing Oracle and SQL... but employers don't care since he doesn't know Java or PHP. He's working as a professor at a community college for the time being while he develops those skills.)

You'd lose your s*** if you win... I have no idea how you'd react when you'd meet them.

....I checked... There are no contests in the UK...

I did not learn it in school... I know Assembly, C, C++, C#, Java, VB, and SQL

it was not required for my degree

I guess it is time to start reading the PHP book that my brother gave me

4. Django Unchained
5. Pulp Fiction
6. From Dusk Till Dawn
7. Death Proof

Kill Bill: Vol. 1
Kill Bill: Vol. 2

Here's mine:

1. Pulp Fiction

5. Kill Bill Vol 2
6. Django Unchained
7. Death Proof
8. Kill Bill Vol 1
9. Four Rooms
10. Natural Born Killers
11. Jackie Brown
12. From Dusk Til Dawn

He's never written or directed something I didn't thoroughly enjoy, so the list isn't as much Like to Dislike as it is LOVE to Like A Lot!

Caveats: If Kill Bill was one movie I'd rank it at #6 and bump Django to #5. If Four Rooms was a full movie of his segment I'd rank it at #7. If From Dusk Til Dawn was just his half of the movie I'd push it up to #10. If Death Proof was half as long I'd put it at #5. And if Death Proof was just 2 hours of Kurt Russell eating nachos you just go ahead and make it #1.

Interesting.
I'm not sure why not just write her out of the script though, she doesn't seem that significant (other than being a huge b**** at the start).

She became a rather important character in the UK series and by the way the second season went it looks like she will have a similar importance next season. Also her brother is important to Ian's story line later in the first season.

That's about how I'd rank them myself, apart from that I haven't seen True Romance, Four Rooms, or Django Unchained, and I might put Kill Bill Vol. 2 ahead of Inglourious Basterds.
