We are all winners, just taking part can broaden your horizons and let you learn stuff you never thought you would know.
Senshibat's replies to this thread got me into Japanese haiku, which has since gone on to learning about other parts of Japanese culture. So give it time and you may find something new too.
As with all curses I just direct them straight back at the person who cast them, so from now on you are forever cursed to the fact that you will find any movie made after 1979 to be boring and mudane and not worth the money you paid to see it...
...but it could be worse, I could curse you to find Keanu Reeves movies to be highly entertaining!

Well, that's not a real curse. That's just reality. The first part, at least. Just move it forward two decades.
I have a nice big flat screen TV and have rarely been in a theater since 2000. I don't need to hear a bunch of cell phones going off or other peoples jibber-jabber ruining a great first viewing experience, thank-you-very-much.
Oh, yeah. And as for the rest of you: "Get off my lawn. GO!" :: picks up a rotary phone :: Git or I'm callin' the cops.
I once saw James Bond on knock a guy out cold with one swing of a Rotary Phone to an assassin's head. Or maybe he had to him him twice. Bond then used the same phone to call for room service. Housekeeping probably.
The point is the phone was unharmed but a person was unconscious. Don't think a modern cell phone can do that.
Hell, I once watched a guy in the mall bend-over to tie his shoe and his i-Phone fell fewer than three feet from his shirt pocket, it then smacked the floor and shattered in to dozens of pieces.
Don't misunderstand me. I think the pocket computer that we still call phone is a wonderful piece of technology, but we need to stop making every piece of tech as if it should be tossed into a trashcan the moment one tiny improvement is added to the mix of recent improvements.
Oh I compleatly agree, planned obsolesance is a terible thing from the consumer/user point of view because you have to keep spending all the time. Especally if it is some chip that is programmed go say you have had this product for 'X' amount of time therefore I won't work anymore or someone at a magazine says last year was high heals this year it's flats or whatever.
In my view if it works and it doesn't break then no need to keep replacing it every 5mins. It just shows how conditioned we are to accept what a flimsy product todays mobile phone/mini computers are without saying it's rubbsh and should be made properly. Afterall any proper computer we had could be upgraded as we wanted, but now you are given'a choice' of fixed options and then have to go out and buy another when it gets to slow or low on memory, and if you start using a cloud service then you open yourself to anybody seeing all your data!

Nah, that's like calling Andorians blueskins, it's kinda an occupational hazard of being of that race.

Do you dare chance this curse to fall upon your head? DO YOU?

As Charlie Sheen once said while likely over caffeinated after a sleepless night...
WINNING!!! like a Vatican assassin ninja wizard who drinks tiger blood for breakfast after melting off the faces of of his enemies.
btw - Charlie Sheen did say all of these words, in various rants, but not all in one lone sentence or in the order above.
Yeaaaaah-no.
Still my win.
