My grammatical errors were even worse than than usual when I posted in a hurry from my phone

Missed out on an additional 6.25% cash back on a $200 order on shop.lego.com all because my computer logged me out of my rewards account >_> That combined with the VIP bonus would get me a free set Guess that's my only Lego related gripe for the week haha.

On a brighter note, Lego did botch my last order and sent me the wrong set and their solution was to resend the correct set and let me keep the wrong set they sent. Helps that the mistake set was worth double what the set I ordered was. Love this company!

If you call them in, they will most certainly retro-credit you the points. Most likely even double points

I hate eating at Taco Bell when I'm on a long road trip and there isn't a bathroom for 40 miles.

When your item is on back order for so long that by the time it ships LEGO Shop at Home has implemented sales tax in the state you live in.

Can't the people who film these TV series' or films afford a decent tripod or similar for the dang camera? When the hell did the 'shaky cam' become a fad let alone considered an actual technique? It may have worked for 24 the series but even then it got tiring trying to just focus on a single scene after a while.

I hate waiting for news of a sale to drop...

But at least I get to kill some time dealing with PayPals fraud deparment over a teeny tiny account hold.

I was just complaining about this to my wife yesterday, as she's trying to get me into 'modern family.'  I blame The Office, now everyone wants their show to look like a mockumentary.

I blame the blair witch project, sure there were some projects that used it prior to that, Saving Private Ryan, Twister, a half dozen other notables.  But they used it very well in ways that didn't distract from the show and didn't attempt to give me motion sickness.  After the blair witch project, everyone and their brother jumped on the band wagon and just used the style as a catch all when they couldn't be bothered to do a better job.

But yes, it is a "technique" :-(  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaky_camera

Yeah, I would say The Blair Witch Project is the 'root of all evil' with this but I will say the technique did work for the movie that had little substance at all. Either people were scared as heck or laughed their butt off by it (I was in the latter section). Saving Private Ryan was a powerful film and having the camera unsteady at times goes with the feeling of being stranded in a warzone of unknown territory. I enjoyed the TV series of "24" even with the shaky cam but it did a bit difficult to deal with for long periods of watching.

I have no interest in trying to watch an episode of Modern Family after seeing a few different promos. :dontknow:

At the moment, I`m PO`ed that 5 x Desert Skiffs ($14.98 or $14.99) won`t get me to an even $75 this evening for Darth Revan. Blasted unrounded numbers!

Gotta go back a few more years...Se7en was the first movie I remember this being used.

Why are you blasting "The Learning Channel"?  Did you not like Trading Spaces?

I liked. It when that one couple glued some hay to the other people's living room an they were so mad. Aside from that episode lame.

trading spaces is horrible show hell 99% of "reality" shows are garbage.  the only ones I can tolerate are biggest loser, face off and most of ink master.  I hate the lack of scripted (with actual actors) shows. damn you trutv

A surprisingly large number of the reality tv shows are either partially scripted, or if a "scene" could be better they ask people to repeat it (sometimes improving on it) so they can get a better shot.  Reality TV is anything but...  I enjoy some of the commercials/promo vids for Face Off, that's about as much of that style of show I can tolerate. 

Duck Dynasty makes me "Happy, Happy, Happy".

 Se7en is a fantastic film. And it`s virtually flawless in every way. Still sends shivers down the spine.

Wasn't Seven the kid they added to the Married with Children cast and then disappeared the next season without any explanation?

Haha, it`s moments like these where I kick myself for being completely ignorant of sitcoms. I have no idea what you are referring to

Before Al Bundy married that annoying lady on modern family he was an actual funny actor on an actual funny show called Married With Children.
