Which Peter Jackson do you prefer?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

He should now buy new clothes, or live in his old ones as a tent.

Blatantly these two pictures are of different men.

Fat Peter Jackson is wearing glasses. Thin Peter Jackson is not wearing glasses.

For them to be the same person doesn't make any sense. He wouldn't be able to see.
Grrr. Argh.

Yes, I know neither of those are technically lasers. Who do you think you are? Rebis?

I was short-sighted because of the shape of my cornea. I had laser surgery to correct the shape of my cornea and now I can see perfectly.

*walks into doorframe for comic effect*

As I get older, the muscles that move my eyes and let me focus and all that will get weaker, so that at the age of 50 or thereabouts I may need glasses for reading or whatever. This happens to more or less everyone, your eyesight fails as you get older because your muscles wear out.

So yeah, when I'm older I may need glasses again, but then again so will everyone else, even those who have had perfect eyesight all their lives. In fact, I am less likely to need reading glasses at that age than someone who has never worn glasses because one of the natural "benefits" of short-sightedness is that objects close to you are automatically brought into focus, so you don't have to use your muscles to see them in detail. When I had my eyes zapped, I had to spend 4-6 weeks training my eye muscles to focus properly since (like Neo in the Matrix) I had never used them before, so my eye muscles have effectively had less wear and tear than someone who has never been short-sighted.

I'd have laser surgery done on my eyes, but given how short-sighted I am, I'd probably endup with pre-op EmVee vision.

Plus, I'd probably lose the doggy ability to see in the dark.

Or any of the BW Predacons!

I do think I'm Rebis, as a matter of fact!

Director Peter Jackson has lost a staggering 70 pounds in weight in just 10 months. The Lord Of The Rings director stunned journalists at promotional interviews for his new movie King Kong with a svelte new look, a million miles from the overweight film-maker made famous by the fantasy trilogy. Jackson claims the grueling editing process on King Kong, which saw him working 21-hour days, helped him slim. He says, "I just got tired of being overweight and unfit so I changed my diet from hamburgers to yogurt and muesli and it seemed to work. It was just cutting out junk food."
