I don't really follow film and directors very closely, what was the personal trouble with Woody Allen that people keep alluding too?

Time flies. Jackie Chan and Chow Yun Fat are 68. Donnie Yen is also 60. Hong Kong's golden generation.

Even the kid Zhang Ziyi is 44.

What the hell. That was an amazing 12 minutes.

I derived more enjoyment from that than full length action movies that came out in the 2000s.

just wanted to make sure I mentioned that.

For criminal cases, the prosecution must prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

For civil cases, e.g. Rapp's case against Spacey, the claimant has to prove their case on a balance of probabilities.

Either way it's never on the defendant to prove their innocence. This is why it's often extremely difficult to criminally convict in such cases, because all the defence counsel has to do is convince the jury or judge of reasonable doubt. Civil cases are a much lower threshold, and even then it's still difficult.

Don't worry: either you lose it, or it starts going grey. Don't ask me how I know...

My hair: Why not both?

[timun]

Well, yeah, eventually we get hit with both. I'm just saying it'll start off one way or the other. Eventually you just look frickin' old.


My father once told me, "Just wait 'til your pubes turn grey. That's when you know you're getting old." Thanks Pa...

Not like any of us used our youth correctly or took advantage of it anyways.

The wisdom always comes too late.

But that's what it means to be human. If you could have the wisdom to use your time and efforts well while your body was in its prime, you'd be cheating nature.

Now it's time to focus on being as cool as possible while being old.

Strive to be Rick Sanchez of your family.
