I am sorry, guys. I am not qualified to judge Bill Murray because I have only seen one or two movies he is in. I didn't realise everyone would start to hate me so badly when I said that he wasn't all that good. Just because he hasn't been relevant at all for two decades doesn't mean he is bad.
Lost in Translation, Broken Flowers, The Life Aquatic, The Royal Tennembaums and countless other films beg to differ on the argument of relevance.

They didn't call it Arctic Park for no reason.

It's probably not as bad as people say, but it had serious flaws. That said, you should hear the glowing terms that some of the goo chuggers talk about it in. :$
My old man is a Hawforn supporter and is probably the biggest Waverly, (or "VFL park") as he so often puts it, goo chugger of them all. :$

He has tried to convince me for years and years over and over again about how "amazing' the ground was, but I've never bought it. Now I was too young to see it myself in person when they were still playing games there, but from what I know, sounds like the ground was a shit heap in so many ways. Nostalgia and bias are powerful things.

Are you saying you only liked Drive because of Ryan Gosling? :eek:



Worst. Ending. Ever.

Scrubs med school season sucked balls. It was especially annoying because it followed what was a really good intended final season after having had a few off years.
I only watched Drive in the first place because of Ryan Gosling. That's how I discovered it is a really great movie.

Wanna see a really bad ending? The final season of The OC. It started off as a great teen show, and it's last season was just a whole lot of wtf

What do you guys think of Minority Report? I remember the advertisements when this come out in the early 2000's but never ended up watching it..
You get arrested for something you do in the future, so you run away, scoop out your eyeballs and put someone else's in, then prove you were setup.

Is it part of the Shire?
STFU man, I could play for your club! :straining:

It's great to not be scoring high on this list. Looks like we have some new hipsters. :p

I probably watched it because of Gosling too (and recommendations), probably had a different reason for wanting to watch him than you though. :rainbow: Still, it is damn awesome. :D

I never watched season 4, that show lost me in season 3 (and that's a big deal with me, I usually persist with shows I liked in the first place through a rough season or two). For me that show will always end with Ryan going back to Chino at the end of season 1. :rainbow:

How the **** is espresso hipster? :confused:
Hipsters love coffee and espresso has come full circle to the point where it's the hipster drink of choice?

Good. Keep it this way forever. Trust me. Ugh.

Espresso is becoming quite hipster in the UK, but we're ahead of them when it comes to coffee. I think that's why I scored relatively low here because I'm more of a Melbourne hipster.

Formerly wore Aviators, til everyone else did, now I'm into Aquamarine/blue ray bans made from wood.
Bowties are a representation of the patriarchy, so unless worn by a woman to be subversive, they're anti-progressive and you'll never find one on my neck.
Ciggy is juvenile, adults smoke a ciggie. Anything ending with Y as a diminutive is a trick played by advertising executives; I choose to smoke without any influence from them whatsoever.
Dreamcatchers are an appropriation of the ancient and ongoing beliefs of the indigenous peoples of North America, and cultural appropriation is never OK.
Espressos are fine, as long as the beans are fair trade, organic, and sustainably produced within 100kms of Melbourne, and roasted using 100% renewable energy.
Fixie is a must. Note the lack of 'y', because corporate Amerikkka doesn't have any interest in enslaving the people through bicycles. They are a freedom machine.
Graphic Tees are good as long as they don't cememnt the gender binary. Men should be encouraged to wear womyn's shapes and sizes, and not just on the piss on Mad Monday.
Homebrew is a good option if you have no local independent breweries, but it's essential to ensure your ingredients are sourced exclusively from NON-GMO SOURCES!
Irony is so passe
Jorts are the paraphenalia of suburban refugees. I try not to mock them for trying their best.
Kombucha is OK, but not nearly as empowering as buying the waste of homeless womyn, which strengthens their ability to be part of our society.
I handwrite everything I possibly can, is that what they mean by Lettering? Certainly, I never use other people's fonts, when it's so easy to create them myself with a bit of whimsy.
Moustache, like a bowtie, is a sign of the patriarchy, but it's also historically been used by those brave souls who fought against capitalism, like Stalin and Che Guevara. Personal preference, really.
Neutrals are good, as long as they're paired with a splash of your signature colour. Mine is Aquamarine-blue.
Organic is essential, as is locally sourced. While I can forgive you if you need to be vegetarian for dietary reasons, I am a vegan and I strongly recommend you all look into it too. Did you know that the dairy industry is responsible for more violence against females than the NRL?
Polaroids are wonderful, but unfortunately capitalist market forces have pushed the price of film too high to justify when you can just sketch situations on recycled paper yourself. It's less environmentally harmful, and helps develop your inherent creativity.
Quidditch is a tool of evil book publishers who try to railroad children's minds into one view of heroism, where white men solve everything.
Retro is cool.
Scarves are a useful item to guard against winter chill, but make sure they're dyed with NON-TOXIC dye in case you come across and injured possum and need to keep it warm in your scarf.
I'm typing this on a typewriter, obviously.
Upcycling is like, my profession.
Vinyl is a much better quality of sound than CDs, but personally I prefer cassette tapes, which really give a feeling of being connected to the original artist, and when you have listened to the song, can be recycled. You really should never listen to msic more than once to get the full benefit of your listening time.
There is no orgnic Whiskey produced within 150kms of my home, so I've never had it, although it's on the list when I do my sememster abroad in Edinburgh.
The XX are overrated. You should listen to 45 Garters for Annabelle's Rabbit instead, they're a great new band I heard when I was dumpster diving last night behind the Preston Safeway.
Yoga is only appropriate once you've berthed a child.
Zeitgeist is SOOOOO 2014.

Or yoga? I'd put yoga on the soccer mum's alphabet
Yoga may be just about the only thing that someone else stole from hipsters and not the other way around. :p

Don't have to remind me.

In fact, thank you for reminding me there was a 4th season, you know how long it took to block that shit out! :straining:

I scored low because I don't have a pair of aviators anymore and because I haven't got around to getting my hands on a polaroid camera yet. :$
