all the weight you're losing

all the weight you're losing
your parents notice your thinning face, all the weight you've lost, all the weight you're losing
the first thought that popped into my head when i saw this skeleton was the climatic scene in indiana jones and the last crusade. you know the one where the guy has to pick a grail, preferably a holy one, to drink from and gain immortality. i remember seeing the effect as a kid and finding it both cool and really scary. thinking about it now still makes me a little scared. in fact even re-watching it on youtube does the trick. i think the blonde's screams add to the impact, but it's also the non-cgi effects which only look a little dated because they're not shiny, rendered and obvious computer creations. man i'm starting to sound like a grumpy old curmudgeon huh? i tells ya back in my day if you wanted to rip the flesh of someone's face you wouldn't simply press a few buttons on a computer, you'd get your hands dirty. uh-huh, it really was a simpler, better time back then.

here's the original
somewhere between pompei and "les 7 boules de cristal"!!! he reminds me an old friend of mine... looks like frank ribéry... maybe the english team plays all in defense but guys play with their heart ; french players have no "cojones", no mind and are able to make a 1/4 final against the last winner(Spain) looking like a third division middle class game!!! what else?

i would have been really disappointed with the spain game too. i didn't feel too bad after the england match. the players tried as hard as they could and you can't ask for more than that - it's not their fault that they're not as good as the italians. having heart doesn't win you matches, but it sure makes losing easier to take.
