On "Terminator: Salvation" [29 May 2009|01:06am] From the Something Awful Forums: blurry! posted: Guys, the best way to envision Skynet is like the hare from tortoise and the hare. It's this lazy cocksure bastard who spends the entire war fucking around, because hey, humans can't beat the machines. They're squishy, unorganized, and basically a bunch of rabble. It also helps to think of Skynet as composed of three different, decision making units who vote democratically on things. However, only one is rational, one is completely fucked up and idiotic, and the third one spends its entire time siding with the irrational one and telling the logical one to shut the fuck up. Every moment in this movie, you got shit like, "SUBJECT: KYLE REESE IN CAPTIVITY. SUGGESTION: TERMINATION. METHOD: ASPHYXIATION BY NOXIOUS GAS FLOODED INTO HOLDING CELL" "NO DON'T KILL HIM." "WHY? HE'S THE SECRET TO WINNING THIS WAR, WE'LL ELIMINATE HIM AND CLOSE THE LOOP OF CONNOR'S BIRTH AND-" "SHUT THE FUCK UP" *hits the giant red disagree button* It also helps to think of these three things as really crummy T800 muppets sitting in a air traffic control tower jack-jawing and wearing Pilot uniforms. "JOHN CONNOR IS WITHIN OUR GRASP. DEPLOYING TURRET SENTRY UNITS AND POISON GAS" "NO SEND IN TOSSBOT 800" "BUT TOSSBOT IS UNFINISHED! ALL HE DOES IS TOSS THINGS! THATS ALL HE'S PROGRAMMED TO DO!" "SHUT THE FUCK UP" Man, in every scene, if you imagine the machines just fooling around and having a good time, the movie gets so much better. Like the first encounter with a T-600. It sees Marcus and is all like "Hey Skynet HQ watch this" and just fires wildly and is like "hahah run you little rat bastard look at him scamper." Then the Hunter Killer collapses the building on purpose, "Watch me collapse the shit out of this building hahaha what a piece of shit" The motorcycle terminators are just playing around. They are probably like mechanical dogs or something. post comment

random thought [16 Nov 2008|06:02pm] I started playing Final Fantasy XII over the summer. Roughly a third of the way through (I think) I put it down one day and haven't picked it back up since. For the life of me, I could not tell you where my characters were, what they were supposed to be doing, and why I should give a damn. Something about airships? 7 comments|post comment

Overheard at the movie theater [12 Nov 2008|05:06pm] During a preview for "Whale Wars", an Animal Planet documentary about activists that try to stop whaling in the Antartic by the Japanese. I was quietly commenting that those damned whales deserved it. I mean, they think they're so great, swimming around eating their damned krill and acting so smug with their heads full of ivory and their asses full of precious precious whale blubber. As the preview ended, I heard from a guy sitting one row down and about five seats over: "I hate the Japanese." I probably should've said something, like "Yeah, well we're not too fond of you either. Jerk". But I figured he was probably a whale in disguise, and you should be careful not to cross a whale in a darkened movie theater before a Kevin Smith movie. They're dangerous when cornered like that. post comment

On the economy [04 Nov 2008|09:32am] "The more I read and watch, the less it seems like resuscitation, and the more it appears to be mass reanimation. The government has turned into a bunch of God-damned money shitting necromancers." - SA Forums poster "Black August" post comment

[08 Oct 2008|06:31pm] "Can we skip the bullshit hand-wringing and attempts to wrestle the economy into submission by the reserve banks of the world, and cut to the chase? Everyone knows there's only one way out of this. Let's dedicate, say, the next 3 weeks to symbolic standing in bread lines and listening to "fireside chats," while we leave a huge shipment of tanks, planes, ordnance and a map to Poland where Germany can find it." - From the Something Awful Forums' "Economic Disaster Megathread: OH GOD, S.O.S."
