I dunno about that! I took Latin as a part course in year 9 but dropped it part way through! Just didnt like it! The only word I can remember out of those classes was a word that my friend looked up whilst we were waiting for the teacher. It was along the lines of "titalantus". Apparently, if memory serves me well, it means "for that which desires (or needs) to be tickled"... Dont think I particularly want to develop on that but it was funny at the time and it ticked the teacher off something chronic!!! Just said it randomly in certain conversations and sentences... strangely enough, I dont think the teacher knew what it meant...

P.S. I love the way we've gone completely off the topic that this page has been initially setup for...PMSL!

Our survey sez .............. *ping*! Congrats Malte! You've just earned the right to post the next quote! Fire away!

Note to self: Get out of house a bit more!  

Hey! It's no biggy Malte!    I think I didnt quite come across as I meant to. The quote you picked out from my last post (now I've re-read it) didnt actually represent exactly what I meant to say. Rather foolish but...  :huh: I guess I just prefer how Grosvenor's movies seem to develop a little bit more in terms of animation and style. Has anyone actually watched LBT films in succession and noticed the difference in how the movies are presented? Smith's are very firm and rigid in terms of change (hope that sounds how it's supposed to sound... i.e. degrading. Not intentional if it did). Great in its own right in that it is established and viewers know what to expect from say "A Roy Allen Smith LBT Flick". Where I think the divide lies between the two directors is in their techniques and perceptions in how the LBT world should look and flow as a film. Once Grosvenor takes over as director, between 5, 6, 7 and 8-10 there seems to be very gradual changes in the style of animation. The biggest jump, I reckon, is in #7. The cel-animation in that seems a completely new twist compared to the others that we've already previously witnessed. Another extreme example of this sort of animation change (non LBT related) was when The Legend of Zelda was first released on the Gamecube. Everyone was expecting an enhanced graphic version of an excellent series but they were horrified to see it was cel-shaded when the first few screenshots came out for it (me for one). Needless to say it still sold well but just that initial change in animation style almost threw everyone off the band-wagon! I think Grosvenor made the same, I'll say "mistake" but it's not the right word I was looking for, when #7 came out. A lot of people I've heard talking about #7 dispise it because of the new animation style. I dont think Grosvenor's animation changes came to a resting point until about #8. From there, I dont think his techniques have changed much... LOL! I never get tired of Malte saying how he HATES the way the colour scheme shoots out the window as soon as danger creeps on the scene.   But I guess...that's just MY preference... I prefer Grosvenor's LBT flicks to Smith's simply on the animation, ideas and style. No one has to agree with me on this...Im not expecting anyone to either! LOL.

Depends purely on their importance but generally I like to get 'em outta the way first thing so I've got the rest of the day to do as I wish


Are you:

The life and soul of a party or the quiet shy one who sits in the corner?

Zeus?! A she Malte?!?

The Zeus statue doesn't exist anymore. I don't know exactly what happened to her

Im sure that's just a typo. A man of your superior knowledge on history would surely know that Zeus was a BLOKE!  : Being the head honcho of the Greek gods and all! Im sure its just a slip of the keys there! Right Malte! LOL    

Nuthing beats a good ol' fashioned newspaper on the train coing home from work! LOL! Online articles are cool and all but prefer to have something a little more tangible.

Kinda appropriate for me this one as Im still trying to sort out a net connection at uni but here goes...

Ethernet or Wi-Fi card... (cable or infra-red connection)

Its Cera in LBT 7. She sez it to Pterano once he swoops in on them and see him for the first time. He goes on about finding "a more hospitable place to call home..."

That right?!

Schools over hear kinda work the opposite way around. Obviously every country has to perfect its own mother tongue but kids start learning a different language from about year 5. It is normally french but once you hit secondary school (high school) there is the 3-way split for either French, Spanish or German. Up until year 9 it is chosen for you (depending on the school) and in years 10 and 11 we get to select which of the 3 we'd like to learn. I chose Spanish coz I prefered that over the other 2 (no reflection on my views of the countries you understand!). I cant speak fluent spanish but I reckon I know enough basic stuff for me to survive out there. I'd love to learn Japanese though! I reckon that's a marvellous tongue to speak! I know very little of the language but they are the types of phrases that would either get me strange, alienated looks or an angry mob chasing after me
