Tidings of Joy!
December 15th 2005, 21:06 CET by Chunkstyle What are you asking for this year? What are you buying others? Why do English people eat puddings? Why do people buy that album of dogs barking Jingle Bells? What's your favorite Christmas memory? Do you believe in Santa Claus, or are you a joyless Scrooge? |

Come on McBain, why'd you tell me what I'm getting? |
|
The Ultimates has Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 out, and The Ultimates 2 has Vol. 1 out. I have no clue why it's not just The Ultimates Vol. 3 rather than The Ultimates 2 Vol. 1, but that's the way it is. So I picked up all the monthly comics after Supreme Power Vol. 2 to bring me up to current. I'm starting to fear that I'm reading too many books now and that Wednesdays will begin to see me as That Comics Guy, strolling out of the store with a huge stack of books each week. The Nerdhaka hunts me!* *PoP reference. Nerd Quotient +5. Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam...

#90 jjohnsen Maybe next movie when the female actors start having breasts. I guess you didn't see these, then. (NSFW) With your plan they'd be all like "everyone with weasels in their pants thinks they're great dancers but they're not, they've just got weasels in their pants."

I went and saw King Kong yesterday. While it was entertaining, I'd stop short of calling it great. If you're on the fence, however, go see it. You won't regret it. Next up" taking the wife to a free screening of Memoirs of a Geisha. "It's only make-believe until it becomes flim-flam."
|
|
Lazy Sunday |
|
Next up" taking the wife to a free screening of Memoirs of a Geisha. Why would you mention it being free? Why? |
|
because free screenings are cool. Why would you possibly have an issue with someone mentioning htat it was free? "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
|
|
http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/index.php?sty=55357 what part of Illegal aliens dont these numbfucks get? |
|
Because he killed a better meaning of the sentence with that. Taking the wife ...how considerate of him... to a free screening ...what a cheap bastard!! So why? |
|
Free screenings are cool because they usually take place before the movie has actually opened. Actually, the liberalism of the media - as a general thing - IS a major fallacy. What the media is, is a whore. -LP
|
|
Well that's something different. Is the thought behind them letting a batch of people see the movie first and for free so that they feel better about it and advertise it by spreading 'the word'? I thought you call those 'pre-screenings'. |
|
stfu, n00b |
|
OMG!!1 U STFU yurself!!!!!1 |
|
Because he killed a better meaning of the sentence with that. Taking the wife ...how considerate of him... to a free screening ...what a cheap bastard!! So why? Uh, what? He gets tickets for free, so him and the wife. There is no deep meaning or lack of it, move on. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
|
|
Because he killed a better meaning of the sentence with that. Taking the wife ...how considerate of him... to a free screening ...what a cheap bastard!! So why? My time is far more valuable than the price of movie tickets. The time is the concession. The $20 for the tickets is a nominal fee. Kid: Because you went to the bathroom on mommy's dishes?
Willie: What the fuck? No! |

Your time is so valuable you only spend it posting on Planetcrap. |

He says it's free because the movietrailer looked about as boring as boring could be? That'd be my take. King Kong is a solid good movie. It's beautiful, full of adventures and you get to see things that are quite magnificent. By all means I wish it happy millions upon millions of profit. Still though, it's a fucking monkey, and yes I get it, I really really get it by now that man is the monster and the monkey really has a great heart. Jesus. Man finds monkey, they go on wild rampaging rampages through jungle and new york, and that's it. I really cannot include this in any sort of top whatever movie (well apart from the obvious ones such as Best Movie Featuring Gigantic Ape I suppose..). In the past I've genuinly been touched by certain movies, or seen something I thought was a really great idea or twist (and we're not talking brainy arteestic movies either, this is Butterfly Effect and Dracula 2000 I'm refering to). But King Kong is beautifully rendered resonably shallow actionsequences that gets your heart pumping and tickles the funnybone every so often. And that's great and all, but nothing to remember in a couple of weeks. Not unlike the Lord of the Rings trilogy. "The gun settles all arguments. The boot silences criticism. The tank crushes protest."

A neighbor brought over a launch team 360 last night. It is my new favorite toy. My ex-roommate tossed me a usb stick with his vacation pics from the philipines on it, and I plugged in my mp3 player, and was playing a DJ set from my player while it was doing a slideshow of his vacation. Get the party started in a nice lowkey visually slick way. However that's not why this is the coolest trip toy ever. It is the coolest trip toy ever because of neon. It's 5:30 am, and everyone is coming down all cracked out, talking about low key stuff. Conversations at this time are delightfully stupid. At any rate, someone puts on some chill music and passes around the controller, and people take turns playing with the visualizer. That can keep cracked out people entertained for hours. Pure awesomeness. Between that and drunken geometry wars, I've had an asspot of fun with this console, and haven't even played one of the games yet. Worth every penny, especially if you have an HD projector. <Cerebus> if i want some inhuman semi-comedic non-sequitors, then you'll be the first i call.

if only japan had a crackhead population, maybe then the 360 could have broken 50,000 sales. |

So can a strobe light and they cost a lot less than a 360. I've heard rubber bands can keep them going for hours, as well. "It's only make-believe until it becomes flim-flam."
|
|
Oh, I'll give bago this one. My friends and I would stay up all night playing video games or pnp rpgs, and at 3 am or whatever playing music, the old visualizer on the 3DO was pretty entertaining. And no, we were neither drunk nor high, just vaguely zoned out in that 3am kind of way. |
|
The 3DO had an awesome vizualization set. With your plan they'd be all like "everyone with weasels in their pants thinks they're great dancers but they're not, they've just got weasels in their pants."

Hi Everybody How the heck are things on the crap? Caught a mother of a virus and ended up shipping my laptop off for clean up and whatever else gets done when your computer gets fried. Didn't lose much. Other than that, a short trip to Florida to try and book next season, working on getting sponsors for next year, looking into training more pilots for the team maybe, getting ready for the gift giving day and trying to get stuff done. Now I need to get working papers in order and start all the other paperwork needed for the upcoming season. Also want to start an store on my web site so I can sell some novelties. On topic...no clue what I'm getting. All the women on my list are getting Victoria Secret gear and the dudes are getting Black Arrow polar fleece jackets. They last like forever. Hey I'm doing a show in Alaska this year. They are transporting my airplane up in a Galaxy. Who cool is that. Also trying like mad to get into Hill AFB because I got peeps in Utah who want to see this wingwalking stuff. |

It's winter breakup season, there's a 360 in my living room, and I've got a lot of my favorite solvent. There's also snow. I am one happy motherfucker. <Cerebus> if i want some inhuman semi-comedic non-sequitors, then you'll be the first i call.
|
|
Just got back from Kong. Meh. Great special effects, some intense action, giant monkey.. meh.. My butt is sore. |
|
Hulka- See, it didn't seem like a three hour movie to me. I thought it flowed well. Bago- Looks like you picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines "It's only make-believe until it becomes flim-flam."
|
|
Your time is so valuable you only spend it posting on Planetcrap. Nice troll. How many posts have I made here? It takes ten minutes to read and post here and I enjoy that time. I'm talking about spending 3 hours going to a movie I have no interest in. Kid: Because you went to the bathroom on mommy's dishes?
Willie: What the fuck? No! |
|
Responding to the tired "Get a life, nerd" troll is well beneath you, McBain. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go prepare my comics list for Wednesday.... Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam...
|
|
yot: In what way does that possibly make any sense? <Cerebus> if i want some inhuman semi-comedic non-sequitors, then you'll be the first i call.
|
|
Bago is questioning someone else in the "making sense" department? Fuck. Jesus Christ, that is unbelievably retarded! - lwf

The end is nigh! SUMAS! -bago 3:16 Zep-- Inverted Mouse 4 Life, YO!

Back from a long weekend with friends at a leisure park. We went through all the weed in the first two days, swam a lot (subtropical swimming pool, yay), drank a lot of booze, and generally had a lot of low-key fun. Goddamn did I need that shit. Now I'm back at my internship place where I finally have an interesting assignment, doing graphic design and templating as a test for future employment. And who else could enter and leave the house without leaving footprints in the snow? Only Santa and the Easter Bunny. (And I was chilling with the Easter Bunny that night, so I know it wasn't him.)
|
|
Bago- WTF dude? Haven't you ever seen ______________? (OK, someone tell him what movie that line is from) "It's only make-believe until it becomes flim-flam."
|
|
Airplane? <Cerebus> if i want some inhuman semi-comedic non-sequitors, then you'll be the first i call.

Saw Kong. I forgot about the 50 Cent subtext, dammit. Someone should do a machinima with the Kong game having the ape lipsync to In Da Club. If anyone ever does a biopic about Orson Welles, they definitely need to cast Jack Black. He'd need to shoot the early years last and starve himself for a week beforehand, but the likeness to pudgy-going-on-fat-era Orson is scary. Naomi Watts is so damn hot in this movie, I can't stand it. Even with the rabbit teeth. Hell, if I was a 25ft ape I'd fall for those nipple pokies every time. It was amusing counting how long it would be before the black dude and the Chinese dude died. The movie got way way too silly during the dinosaur and bug sequences. The stampede sequence would have been more appropriate with the Benny Hill music. I find it amusing to read that they had an ape expert who constantly had to remind them that apes were not carnivores, but they seemed to find it okay continuity-wise to have 50 dinosaurs all running through a narrow ravine finishing on a ledge that apparently none of them had walked on before, since it immediately crumbled under their feet like it was a video game. Also, 10 of those remora headsucking worms coexisting peacefully in a puddle about 10 foot by 10 foot until our heroes stumble along. Not to mention the kid shooting all those bugs off of the Pianist without leaving a scratch on him. Finally, it sucked that Peter Jackson didn't kill off his fanfic self-insertion character at the end. He really needed his comeuppance. |

1: Spoilarz! 2: Naomi Watts is so damn hot in this movie, I can't stand it. See also: Mulholland Drive. With your plan they'd be all like "everyone with weasels in their pants thinks they're great dancers but they're not, they've just got weasels in their pants."

Fuck spoilars, the movie never gave any indication that it was going to be surprising. |
|
Kong was good, but too long. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.
|
|
#130 by Jibble 1: Spoilarz! Rosebud is a sled! |
|
spoilers? It's a retelling of a movie that came out in 1933. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
|
|
I see the grasp of humor today is tenuous at best. Rosebud is a sled! Actually, it's a vagina. Best and longest lasting inside joke ever. With your plan they'd be all like "everyone with weasels in their pants thinks they're great dancers but they're not, they've just got weasels in their pants."

The ape falls off the Empire State Building at the end. "It's only make-believe until it becomes flim-flam."
|
|
It was a joke. Sheesh. With your plan they'd be all like "everyone with weasels in their pants thinks they're great dancers but they're not, they've just got weasels in their pants."

Jibble (#135): Rosebud is a sled! Actually, it's a vagina. Best and longest lasting inside joke ever. I thought it rhymed with Dolores. |
|
#135 by Jibble I see the grasp of humor today is tenuous at best. What? It's a jokey rejoinder to your jokey rejoinder. Unless you mean LP. Actually, it's a vagina. Best and longest lasting inside joke ever. Enh. Rosebud was a vagina for William Randolph Hearst. For Charles Foster Kane, it was a sled. Whatever Welles wanted to convey in the way of biographical metaphor, the only factual answer to "what is Rosebud" in the context of the film itself is "a sled". |

Fine. In other news, all white people are mutants. With your plan they'd be all like "everyone with weasels in their pants thinks they're great dancers but they're not, they've just got weasels in their pants."
