but Shah Rukh Khan is *gorgeous*!!!!!!!!!!

Meh *shrug*. Sorry, he just doesn't do anything for me.
Also, he is a TERRIBLE actor.

One of my personal favourite B movies of the last few decades is Last Action Hero. The pacing's off and enjoying the movie is dependent on believing Schwartenegger as a dramatic actor, but the setting is just fascinating and there are some small performances that lead you to a story behind that movie that's probably more interesting than what you're watching. It's like the Silmarillion of action movies. It's an illness, I tell you.

The Silmarillion of action movies?
Damn, now I have to actually see it...

Best. Typo. EVER.
If it was one.
("Schwarte" means pig's skin with the layers of fat still attached. Also slang for a really heavy book (slab?))

I think we really should have another movie-watch-along type thing and watch either The Dark Crystal or The last Action Hero. I vaguely remember that movie and thinking it was an enjoyable premise and could have been so good, but just wasn't.

Which two were they?

(This is IMPORTANT!)

The first was Don, and I've blanked out the other one. It was one of those generic kitschy Bollywood titles.

Edit: found it! It was Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...

I think you need to have, as a nice palate-cleanser, Om Shanti Om, or (for something slightly different) Chak De! India.

I've bored on about Om Shanti Om before, but it really is an extraordinary film, which can be enjoyed on about seven simultaneous levels.

The thing about Shah Rukh Khan is that first, he is (like many Indian actors) incredibly prolific: he's done something like 70 films. I have only seen a few, and am pretty picky. "Don" is reputed (by people other than you, as well as you) to be a stinker, so I've never bothered with it. I haven't seen Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, either, as it's an earlier one, and the plot summary didn't appeal.

Second, SRK is one of those men who gets a great deal better (better looking, a better actor, better at making career choices, just better) as they age. I have close to zero interest in seeing his early stuff, but he gets more and more interesting as time goes on.

And thirdly, did you see it dubbed into German, or with subtitles? I would never watch Om Shanti Om dubbed, only with subtitles - not as a snob thing, but because you miss so much.

So, I'm thinking about making a fairly major purchase and I want to take advantage of 1 year no interest financing.

But, would it be better to wait until after Thanksgiving and see if what I want goes on sale or there is better financing?

...this might be more of a rhetorical damned if you do kinda scenario.

it's a time-value of money question - you have to figure out how much you'll end up paying in total, including the interest. One year no interest is only a good deal if the rate after that is still competitive, or if the upfront rebate makes up for the hike in interest rate.
Compare rates, upfront payments, and total prices.

Ok, so, why is there padding in a C-cup bra? I mean, really, that is plenty of filling right there.

And especially why is there padding in the C-cup one when the B-cup of the same style is unpadded, leading to the natural assumption that lifting the appropriate cup size will result in a similarly unpadded one?

I've seen E cup bra's with padding!

Sometimes the padding is to provide extra support. My favorite DD bras have a little padding.

It's not so much supporting as causing overflow. It is comfy though.

So strange.

Pics or it didnt happen

Behave, rabbity one.

To refine on what Jena said, sometimes they add padding for shaping. Also, to hide cold nipples.

I wondered for the longest time *why* they had to have padding in... uhm ... my size bra. Until i tried one. Never going back. It's a lot more discreet, like Joccy pointed out.

Ah, the infamous four-boob look. Always perplexing.

*is dumbstruck*

I always thought padded bras were basically cheating, since it looks as if one has more than one actually has. It's why I never considered getting one... It never even crossed my mind they might be more convenient or comfy.

... Sometimes I'm so dumb it's amazing I ever figured out how to put on clothes.

*decides not to mention that top she has no idea how to wear - is it possible there are some clothes with too many exits & entrances?*
