USians treat ground and first floor as the same thing, so our first floor is their second floor, etc.

I've seen one of those 'faces of death' videos where this student bungee jumps off a highrise but didn't realise that the building's 1st floor was the ground floor.

He created quite a mess on the pavement.

pretty fucking dumb setting a bungee to a depth where it's only one storey from the ground at the end anyway, I'd have thought?

I never realized that there was a different school of thought on ground/first floor until Daniel mentioned it yesterday when he walked me to work (we saw an apartment with the first floor to rent...and he asked if that meant the ground floor)

I have no idea why it's like that over here. The ground floor has always been the first floor. Even when it's called the ground floor, the next one up is invariably called the second floor.

That makes one of us then ;) I might be USian, but was as confused as any by Babel-speak.

I thought Minority Report was ok. Especially that bit where he rescues the see-into-the-future-woman and they're in the shopping centre and she tells him to do stuff but you're not sure why and then it all comes together like a good cunning plan.

Yes, well, swords are always good, especially ninja or samurai swords, and even moreso in a modern/futuristic context.

Heh, so I guess either the cinema was shut, or it is possible to wipe an entire film from my memory. :/

I mean, I thought I'd seen it already, but then realised I wasn't actually remembering any of it.

TWR: Rubbish plot, pathetic acting, unbelievably bad CGI. Predictable soulless embarrassment.

In between the unbelievable acting, gaping plot holes, ridiculous dialog, overly drawn out scenes, poor quality rip-offs, and simple moronicness... well, there were brief moments when it was merely a terrible attempt at an action film. :/

I notice that wikipedia in a rare departure from the po-faced house style states:
Quote: 
Angelina Jolie stars as the titular Lara Croft character
Or maybe they didn't see the near double entendre. I suppose it's a bit distasteful following AJ's later health choice. 

Also, talking of teh past, whose brother is Jessica*? My memory is getting old and feeble.

I think AJ was the meat mold for Melania Trump's plastic surgeon.
