Is there a worse storytelling trope than a character wearing a mask to fool people into believing they’re some other specific person? It just knocks me out of the story every time.
Even Scooby-Doo didn’t do this; the bad guy was always disguised as a monster.
Face Off! š
Trope done right!
Mission Impossible!
The first MI film is one of the worst offenders. Face/Off, for all of its flaws, at least justifies the practice with hokey Sci-Fi.
To be fair, the TV series also used the trope.
This Guardian skewering of boob physics is pretty good.

On a related note, while very far between, there are some games who lampoon the male anatomy. The second Castlevania comes to mind. Fighting Satan was really hard as all I could see was his amazing cod piece. I was telling my Boo about this and she mentioned a few games where there was no cod piece just overly large members flapping around during the battle.
Overly large? Really?
That’s a hard act to follow.
Or to swallow.
Yes I went there…
“lampoon”
The moment you realize the difference between Face off and Face/Off in a conversation
So today watched the first episode of s2 of Helix.
I enjoyed the first series, but this was so dumb that I’m seriously thinking of never watching another episode again.
They investigate an outbreak in a boat in hazmat suits. Find a resistant survivor who tells them they caught it on an island. They visit the island with no hazmat suits.
“Helix is an American science fiction thriller-drama television series that premiered on Syfy on January 10, 2014.”
Sorry I didn’t post this sooner, Lo, but I passed out from ecstasy while watching it.

Just found out that one of the guys I spent ALL my spare time with between the ages of about 22 and 32 is in the ICU. Heart problems. He might be 52.
Which of the following diagnoses do you think of when you here this ?
(A) Needs a stint or stints
(B) Needs a valve replacement
(c) Needs a pace maker
Yeh, any of those would be in the realm of what I might expect, however the diagnoses was he needs a HEART TRANSPLANT.
Fucking A.
That is just not a part that they keep in stock. š
He’s been a ventilator for 5 days. They took him off earlier today and I am told “that are reasons to be guardedly optimistic”. I’m not sure but I think that falls somewhere between “hopeless” and “hopeful”
That sucks Joe.

Lame, man. Youve had your share of fuckery lately, sir!
Best wishes to your friend, J0e. Fate is a dick.
Damn, my friend! My best wishes for your friend. Sucks is not even a good enough word.
Thanks all.
I think the trick is, to force yourself NOT to give up looking for the good bits in between all the fuckery.

There’s hope for the new Star Wars yet:
http://arstechnica.com/the-multiverse/2015/01/george-lucas-disney-made-up-its-own-story-for-next-star-wars-film/
With Disney at the helm we know it will be at least as good as “John Carter”.
Hell yeah!!!! Oh wait…
Now now… let’s not forget the Marvel films all technically have Disney at the helm as well.
And I liked John Carter! The marketing team for that movie needed to lose all their jobs
Me too Lo, luckily I have smelling salts to revive you after you’ve fainted.
You spicy man…
hehe, I actually kinda liked “John Carter”, just a little sleepy in parts. Disney has the talent on staff to make SW7 awesome and given what I’ve seen in the trailor I’m excited for it.
Finally listened to the ep. Ed… lmfao. Nicely done! Ever thought about doing a podcast yourself? Your editing-fu is strong. š
Indeed, a big 10 gallon hat off to Ed for his creativity and production skills.
Agreed x10. Most of Ed’s bits (*snicker*) have been of this caliber.

Yesterday I listened to the Nerdist’s Podcast interview of Gillian Anderson. I couldn’t shake the feeling that Bunny’s voice is almost a perfect match.
I think Gillian does a better English accent though.
Cough
Her time in London may have brought her closer to Bunny territory in my mind.
Bunny?
Wait, OUR Bunny?
Yep our Bunny. If anyone wanted to have a voice actor for Sculley, Bunny is our woman.

I finally got all the core books for the latest edition of D&D, 5e. They seem like a nice and elegant set of rules, but I donāt find them as big of deal as the D&D community seems to think they are.

Jumping up and down in a moving lift is not recommended.
Who knew?
Was it the Muzak that made this particular lift “moving” or carpet selection?
It actually stopped dead for 30 seconds, then continued going down,
So I could tell you one other thing that seems like it would be a swell thing to do on an elevator when the opportunity presented itself … but if you look at the whole scenario from a logical, physics perspective – you would see the obvious problem.
Of course when you are 21 and suddenly presented with that option the whole “logic” part of your brain is sent out for coffee.

I always thought it would be cool if an old outdated RPG like Star Frontiers could be redone using a set of modern gaming rules. Today I looked over my old SF books to see how I could use the Savage Worlds rule set to do this. Then I thought maybe someone already took the time. Yep.

I’m sure there’s probably an internet rule that covers this situation.

Saw Birdman tonight. I mixed reviews for the flick. I loved all of the fluid, long takes and how the movie kinda made theater on Broadway its own character in the movie. And I loved Edward Norton (but I always love him.)
The internal psycho babble of Michael Keaton was my least favorite thing about the movie.
It’s very artsy and impressively made, with a bunch of great moments, but it can also wait til your TV.
I found the artsy stuff to be annoying.

If my memory serves me right, didnāt they do a massive clean up job on this film because it was such a mess?
Yup. Its gonna be awful and itll make a billion dollars off the 14 year old male intended audience.
They did attempt to show it at what has been termed a snobby fest in the past. The commercials make it appear interesting to me, but I am not fond of the actress. I know that will result into the backlash of those that think she is pretty.
Still going to check it out when it hits the cinema.
You’d check out a sloth sleeping if it was in the cinema
Matinee maybe.
Nah, too much of a slow burn I would fall asleep.
Manatee maybe
Those mermaids can be right cows.
Historical humor +10000000000
The sleeping sloth’s performance showed a deeper range of emotions than Keanu Reeves in the Matrix.
However, in spite of the utter lack of talent between the 2 leads in this film, the release delays, and the February black mark, I find the Wachowskis among the smartest and most imaginative filmmakers producing stuff today.

Watched me some Snowpiercer last night. Gorgeous. Brilliant. I can see how this was a critical darling (95% fresh on RT with over 200 reviews) and was hit or miss with audiences. Audiences typicallu dont like to have to think with their action blockbusters. I was thrilled with it.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowpiercer
That was a fun ride, for sure!
Have you checked out the wiki? Interesting
Indeed. Time to find the graphic novels
Just thought the plot was bonkers.
Kind of the point, Van. Its Bong Joon Ho after all
Put us in the Snowpiercer winning column too!
“Joon Ho”
Ex Machina had an intelligent plot, Snowpiercer not in the same league.
Ok just because two films are Sci-Fi doenst mean they are apt comparisons. Completely different films.
I didn’t mention scifi, and an intelligent plot transcends genre.
It does transcend genre but the comparison came out of left field as I was talking about Boon Jong Ho films specifically and not comparing to others
To be fair, this is the only BJH film I remember seeing.
Did you see the Host or Mother? Both are actually better films but just as bonkers
Nope.
I agree with all of the above. It was gorgeous, smart, and utterly bonkers.

Nothing doing with nothing – but does anyone remember the early 90’s band School of Fish? They had a alt-rock radio hit called “3 Strange Days”
Nope, I had to google:
http://youtu.be/onjaC3A2xjk
Well I didnt think anyone over the pond would have a good grasp of early 90’s American alt-rock…
But was going deep into my music collection and found their first album. I now know who the Goo Goo Dolls mated with to spawn all the late 90’s terribleness that were the Semisonics and Dishwallas of the world.
And Van, if that made sense at all to you, we’re going right to 3rd base
Tell me all your thoughts on God, cos hey jealousy, it’s closing time, and I am barely breathing, so I’ll just slide, in this semi-charmed kinda life.

So as I may have mentioned, I have been trying to get through all 9 seasons of “Scubs” before it succumb to NetFlixiation on Feb 4th.
The problem that occurred was that I found I could only watch 3 episodes in any given sitting. The “fun” of that show is it’s silly little quirky vignettes and banter. After about 45 minutes or so, it loses it’s unusualness and then your just left with the sad poignant moment they throw in ever show.
Having only made my way to Season 4 Ep 12 (there are 25 Eps in that season!), last night I decided to just go to skip to the last season and watch the last 3 episodes. SPOILER ALERT – they were AWFUL. I made 10 minute into the first one and realized I wasn’t laughing. I skipped to the next one. Terrible. At this point they had switched to mostly new characters and it just wasn’t funny.
Still wanting to end on a good note I went back to Season 8. Near the beginning I found episodes that still had the original cast but they had none of the manic energy that made the show work (for me at least). They literally looked tired. It did have it’s moments and I did laugh a few times but it was clear that ship had sailed. They even had a one minute scene at the end of that Ep where Eliotte, Turk and JD were joking about “Wow, can you believe this is our 8th year. Most people would be just walking through their jobs at this point.” wink wink, mug to the camera.
Anyway, it was a good lesson in why you want shows you like, to end while they are still in their prime. Leave you wanting more.
And do you enjoy that Scrubs guy’s movies? e.g., Garden State?
I don’t think I’ve seen anything else he has done.
Perfect summation
You should make your new scrubs mission to find the episode where the series jumps the shark.

Interesting. Thanks for the share. If it was an engine flame out, though the plane should still be flyable with one engine, it puts the turn in a new perspective.

We take good news as we can. Genetic test came back negative, which means that it is less likely her kids or I will have this type. Now we don’t know why, but I know she’s a tiny bit relieved.
There. The guest room bedding has been changed. Let’s see how long it takes this time for me to use the room as an extra storage room and cover the bed with assorted crap.
My guest room is currently a grow room with tables, lights, and lots of seedlings making an appearance!
My guest room is… well as the folks who stayed there can attest, is non-existent
Yeah but, in Lo Pan’s case, wait until the kids grow up and leave home. Then you’ll have a guest room. That’s the only reason we have one. The other kid’s bedroom we tore down to expand the space in our bedroom.
“kids move out”. HA!
As long as you have drums, B-man will be happy
Always!
The autographed John Travolta picture in the guest room kept me warm at night.
It was the vacant stare, wasnt it?
Joust found out our regular gaming/D&D couple have split up. š
Oof. Roll for damage… š
Watch out for flying ostriches.
*sigh* Yeah, this seems to be my problem today. In the bedroom comment, the last bedroom should have been basement. In this one, Joust = just. It’ll be interesting to see what my fingers do when I do a PBP after lunch.

Fuck it all and fuck a fucking brat”

Whenever I sit on one I slowly slide off.
This is fantastic

Well, it’s been a while, Deadpan.
It’s movie time
Today’s movie: the Quiet Ones
The PVR write up: Operating on the theory that paranormal activity is caused by negative human energy, a rogue professor and his students attempt to create a poltergeist by pushing a young woman to the edge of sanity.
Boy those rogue professors, I tell you. *shakes head*
Violence and coarse language only. Tsk, tsk, tsk
It’s not as fun without the Nudity
I’m just finishing up a slurpee so expect a pause somewhere in this PBP so I can get rid of it
Oh look, pictures of people cavorting with demons
Wow, a film projector. Don’t see many of those any more
University of Oxford 1974
The teacher is smoking in the lecture room
Ah the 70’s..
One day that all changed…
Cure one person, cure the world
Welcome to the experiment
Oh, isn’t the “subject” a cutie
Famous last words: it’s ok. You’re perfectly safe…
They play, Come On Feel The Noise to drive her crazy
Don’t corrupt the experiment
More campuses last words: I’m sure we can cure you
Campuses = famous
Harvesting negative energy is like removing a tumor
This doll is dead inside
I don’t think that’s your “nor All” cigarette
Good God auto correct. Is that how it’s going to be today?
Mr. Gregor is make believe
The school board. His experiment is being stopped
Truth is, you can never stop those rogue professors
Who wears short shorts?
Of course the door squeaks. I wouldn’t expect anything less
… And the phone doesn’t work. Too bad cell phones weren’t a thing yet
The doll isn’t cooperating
Security is s superstition. It doesn’t exist in nature
That room would creep me out at the best of times
Peek-a-boo
First pause of the movie…
Is it the Slade or Quiet Riot version of Come On Feel the Noise?
Quiet Riot
Metal Health drove her mad.
Sorry, had to answer a work email. Now, where was I…
Time for the hypnotist
Eve was here
The sounds of sex
The doll feels better now
Do you want to see me disappear
Take your hands out of his trousers now please
The sweat’s just pouring off her
That burns
Evie is back
Don’t opent that door
Jane, Jane, jane
Wow, what a slut
Camera didn’t cut fast enough. I saw boobies
Silly, frustrated, violent men
Wow, look at the old timey needle.
A seance!
Didn’t take them long to break the circle
Something’s burning
What the hell is that?
Cricket time
Evie must have big feet
Evie bites
Reviewing the film
Stap the doll, stab the girl
I have no idea what’s happening
Did the pictures need to be so larger?
The slut’s scared
Back before you could have hidden cameras in a room
Where the grand hypotheses meets reality
Evie obviously doesn’t like it when people get intimate
JANE!
Why didn’t any of them think to bring flashlights to this house out in the middle of nowhere?
Evie branded Jane
Don’t let the crazy woman kiss you
Now you tell me.
Time to run away
Things that go bump in the night
Goodbye Jane
Smoking in the bathtub
I remember microfiche
Side boob!
Evie will kill us all
Confirmation bias!
That’s right, fight in front of the possessed girl
Time to kidnap Jane
Daddy?
Evoke is branding them all
Well, that didn’t work
I was born this way
Sorry. The washroom called again
Burn baby burn
You will be the vessel
Of course I’m not going to get away with it. There are two dead people in the house
Fight!
Two shots of adrenaline
Fire!
The End
Yah!
So this movie was… Ok. It was not the worst I’ve seen but it was nowhere near the best. I give it a solid meh
Huh. I guess this movie was based on an expire meant in Toronto. Go figure

Never download an expansion pack on a PS3 from within a game, no background downloading and it takes bloody ages, just don’t do it.
Thank You, Samsung cell-phone-security-picture-drawing inventors. I made a complete ass of myself in front of surgeons and my peers at work today, because I could not draw the security “drawing” to unlock the surgeon’s phone.

I was gonna post this. Look not that the original was a brilliant work of art but this is fucking pathetic
I still find the original to be one of the most effectively unsettling movies of all time. (although it’s been a few years)
Regardless of, I thought Sam Rockwell was better than this
After that trailer, I’m going to have to watch Moon again to remember what he’s capable of.
Insert usual rant about… oh fuck it. Just don’t have the energy any more.
Oh Dottie…
I’m a loner, a rebel?
Well Pan, off to see Jupiter Ascending at the flicks.
Woof!
Not that bad, not that good either, one to pick up on rental/DVD.
Looks like they spent a lot of money on CGI in the sequel to Divergent.
Here’s hoping the films continue to be better than the books!
Did the heroine have short hair in the first film?
Why did I schedule a 7 a.m. Dentist appointment?

At least you can get a 7am appointment, 9am is the earliest here.
Yeah but thats about the same after the conversion rates

Well Peeps
A few of us are waiting a week before we book flights/hotel. I think we want to make absolutely sure there will be no date changes before we book.
But, with that in mind… When I’m ready, if I’m willing to lock in the date with no refunds or cancellations, I can get a king suite with a wet bar for a very good rate. Normally I’m against locking in since you never know what could change, but a king suite… Hmmmm, decisions, decisions.
The weekend we’ve identified is currently doable for Pix and me.
I am sorry that this year’s venue change may prevent some from attending :(.
Well Jack, time for you to light the blue touch paper on the meetup timetable.
That worked better in my head than it did typed out…
Last of US: Left Behind was short and sweet.
Yeah, it was. I see you got all the collectables in the main game. Well done. š
Do you have a PS4? You really need to try Transistor if you do.
Not yet, but Transistor is on this months’s List of games on Playstation Plus so it’s waiting for me when I do.

Today I clean my desk and get my paperwork together for my taxes. It’s unbelievable how exciting my weekends are.
Packing, found CDs I forgot I had.
I see your weekend is slightly more exciting than mine, Van.
I think I’m a very bad person. The reasoning behind this is: Hubby and I were watching the latest Big Bang Theory last night. Stephen Hawking was in this episode. When they showed Stephen Hawking, the first thing I thought of was how much he looked like a dalek. Not the metal outer casing we usually see but the thing inside when you open it up. There must be a special kind of hell for people like me.
Davros-approved.
Oh I thought you were a bead person cause you were actually watching the Big Bang Theory

Excellent. I mean not the hard knocks part
I have a suspicious this author thinks I’m from the Ukraine and not the UK.
author?
Delilah S Dawson, she was promoting an offer on one of her ebooks Twitter today, but it’s not available in ebook in the UK.
When I asked if there was some place it could be bought from the UK she replied she had only sold the English rights..ummm.
Correction – she never sold the rights to the UK so ebooks are English only.
I get what she meant, just seemed strange to me.
Catching up on films –
Amazing Spiderman – piece of shit
Pacific Rim – piece of ass.
That is all.
Don’t be talking smack about no Pacific Rim now.
Which Spiderman is that? Lizard? Electro? I saw the Lizard one and said, “meh.”
Jack, dont you know when you call something a “piece of ass” it aint a bad thing?
Fucking Lizard and stupid ass dumbness. “meh” is being kind
Well, it does have Charlie Hunnam in it. . . But otherwise, it’s a blast. I’m eagerly awaiting PR2.
Me too. Unfortunately its been pushed back to 2017
Mr. Mangan and I are watching the Grammys.
He is not amused.
I can imagine.
I mean, they’ve snubbed Jack AGAIN!
ā¦ and all because he has stuck to his artistic principles.

In Soviet Russia, grammys turn YOU on.
I think more people would watch if that was the case
Wait so Beck won Album of the Year? An actual musician won over pomp and no substance? Hmmm, could there be hope..
Didn’t make it that far.
Well I didnt watch any of it but its all over the news feeds. As is Kanye’s awesomely dopish comments on it

Ok peeps
Plan to book the hotel/flight. Making absolutely sure I have everything straight. Weekend of May 15th? Arizona?
Last chance to change it. Once I’ve book the holiday from work and booked my hotel and flight, I’m coming that weekend regardless of when anybody else shows š
The weather will be beautiful. I don’t anticipate any hiccups for myself that weekend, but even if – – there are many cool locals here to hang out with and lots of awesome stuff to see and do.
I’m sort of flashing CJ and I think she kind of likes it š
Lo! Four days!!!
Oh sweet Yeezus!
This explains it
http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-study-finds-majority-of-gods-blessings-burn-up,37946/?
Ok, I committed. Flight booked. Because I’m using points, I’m actually staying until Tuesday morning
We will book later this week. I will have a rental car. I may have to look into a bigger vehicle than I normally get.
Let me know if you want any help with the vehicle cost. Since you usually pay taxi to me, it’s the least I can do.
I’m betting you’ll still get home before me.
The hour time difference is interesting to look at on a flight itinerary. According to my flight departure and arrival times, it will take 2 hours to get to Phoenix and 4 hours to get back home. :silly:
Ok. I need to share this commercial atrocity. You’ve been warned.

Pintley really fizzled didnt it
Agreed. Pintly has a hard time keeping up on new beers. Beer Advocate seems to have more of the beers I actually find, but it lacks some of the social aspect.
