A French film starring David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli. Produced by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Leon: The Professional), District B13 is one of the films introducing parkour to the action genre. It features some of those most intense chase scenes you will ever see, none of which use CG. It was written after seeing David & Cyril's stuntman portfolio as an excuse to put the two together in a film. The result is breathtaking, and has even been ripped off in newer movies like Casino Royale's opening chase scene (except again, District B13 didn't use any CG). Go see it, or at least YouTube the opening chase scene.
God damn I wish I could move like they do in District B13, I wouldn't ever need a car if I did.
District 1 is one of the 12 districts of Panem in the Hunger Games unniverse. Its industry is Luxury goods for the Capitol. The residents of this district have often been described as extremely slutty and sexual and the entire district is full of whores. The district is often described by the other districts as a demonic hellscape and bastion of all that is evil. People from District 1 if not slutty are usually pure evil.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
