Semantic Wobble

Another reason to say "Kidman, a star?"

"Bewitched", personally I was bemused today, and will somebody tell Will Ferrell to be more Elf and Melinda, Melinda and much much less Anchorman, Old School and Wedding Crashers - when he did the "Yikes..." thing, I was thinking "That's you, that is Ferrell!" (apologies to the Mary Whitehouse Experience). Even worse was the inclusion of Steve Carell - personally I'm going to avoid any movie with him in from now on...
The better bit of our double-bill was "A History of Violence", top-notch Cronenberg, well-paced, well-directed, well-acted and thoughtful: it reminded me of the excellent Ondskan more than any other Cronenberg films, although the unsettling naturalistic style is still there.

    Nice to see some decent content for a change. FYI, I log on today and see that we've got a new feature, the 'Flag blog' button, which is inconveniently located between the 'Get Your Own Blog' and 'Next Blog' buttons so that we would presumably be getting some flags on error alone (although if one happens to notice it, you can unflag a blog) But that's a trivial matter. What concerns me is this: When a person visiting a blog clicks the "Flag?" button in the Blogger Navbar, it means they believe the content of the blog may be potentially offensive or illegal. We track the number of times a blog has been flagged as objectionable and use this information to determine what action is needed. This feature allows the blogging community as a whole to identify content they deem objectionable. Ok, see the problem with this? What's "objectionable." I'm guessing there are a good deal of people that would likely deem my blog to be objectionable; and there lies the problem: what is objectionable and what is subjective. Just my 2 cents, RPG Contact Lens
