I attended the panel for it at last year's Comic-Con and saw the Philip K. Dick robot before it went missing.
It fielded some questions like Philip K. Dick would, but was somewhat aloof. 
A month or so ago, they played the first 27 minutes of it at a local comic book convention. It's pretty sweet. The that makes me wonder, though, is the scramble suit. It's a constantly changing, morphing suit of different faces and features which disguises the narcotics officers. Wouldn't that be a bit obvious when you see this person coming down the street and you're doing your Substance D and all?
We'll see how they do with all the plot twists. So far the first 27 minutes kicks off pretty well. I think it's ironic, though. They chose Rory Cochrane, Robert Downey Jr., and Woody Harrelson for this movie, when all three of them have some sort of drug ties in their past. |

| So I'm bumping this thread... mostly because it'd be stupid to start a new topic for pretty much the same subject and pretty much the same attitude. So it's resurrection time for the general bitch rant thread.
So one big, wet "Fuck you!" to these people: - People who call early in the morning, and even after the call goes to voicemail, call again and again and again and again, to the point that you have to stagger out of bed, groggy, legs aching and unsteady, and trying to figure out what the emergency is as you walk across the house, you answer the phone and the person on the other end immediately sounds shocked and goes, "I'm sorry," and hangs up. If it was the wrong number why did you keep dialing it?! - Those who insist on bragging about their privileged lives while in close-quarters with you and many other people, because they know a lot of people can hear them and they want to make as many people evious as possible. Do I wish I could do and see what you have? Sure, but I'm glad I'm not the kind of asshole you are. - People who insist on getting their way because they think they deserve it. While working as a volunteer at Anime Expo, I had to stand in front of the door to the exhibit hall (also called the "Dealer room") and let people with certain badges in and tell other people to go stand in line and that we weren't open 'til 10. SOOOOO many people kept trying to push past me because they felt they should be allowed to. One guy insisted that I was lying to him and that I put on the website that the exhibit hall was open at 8. Um... right... I control the SPJA's website, just like I control the weather and the DVD rights to "Glitter." I'll probably post more when someone reminds me of others. |

| Just answer me this one question:
Do Pintel and Ragetti finally hook up? I was thinking about seeing this at the midnight showing since I was in Hollywood at the time, but decided against it. Actually, there's been so much hype surrounding this that I think I'll wait a few weeks before taking it in at the cheap theater, unless I decide to hit up my friend for free tickets again. I don't know. Pirates was a lot more fun when it was just the first one, no one knew much about it when it came out and it was a surprise wonder that lit the screen afire and took no prisoners. Now... now there are so many friggin' pirate enthusiasts that I'm drowning in a sea of idiots who wear flogs on their belts and insist on being called pirates because they have drinking problems. Ah, Rocky Horror security, how I don't miss thee. Wake me up when the cowboy craze comes back. I'll break out my Luke Skywalker poncho. The ninja one is slowly dying off, thankfully. All right, so I'm rambling and my excuse for not wanting to see PotC 2 is kinda out there. I think the hype surrounding it is like that of the Matrix. The first one was magic, but then the hype that which surrounded the other two, which came out in succession became their downfalls. I think a brief pause before charging into this one is necessary for me. |

| Hahahahaha. Ask a Ninja actually backed up a few of the reasons why I've chosen to not see this.
Ask A Ninja Sauron actually posted a rant about it and completely shot it to shit with most of the points I've made with other people. Ninjas of the Caribbean, though.  Oy. |

Originally posted by Star FX I'm sorry. I misread your post and thought you said, "Did she look flatter in that one?" In the after production of Curse of the Black Pearl, they redrew her chest in many scenes. They felt Keira's chest was much too flat for them. Observe: Keira not in pirates Keira press photo for Pirates Looks like a job for the Ab-Abber 2000. In other news looks like Keith Richards signed on to do Pirates 3. Let's see if he doesn't have to back out again because of another Rolling Stones farewell tour. Anyway, in answer to your question. If Orlando let himself go, even slightly, I wouldn't be surprised. Haven't seen him turn out any epics lately. |

| Specify, dude. The last "he" in your post was Orlando, so .
Yeah, Ninja looked a little chunky, but it also looked a bit stretched. |

Heh, it's funny you should voice your dislike for Superman. I was doing a little looking into Superman's shrinking popularity, and I've noticed that the more tortured, angst-ridden, dysfunctional the hero, the more people love him. Supes is just too perfect. Nothing hurts him (expect kryptonite, but hey he always seems to find a way around that).
|
It's like the arguments people had with Hellsing. OK, nothing hurts Alucard. Booooooring. Just look at the old Superman cartoons: There's trouble. Lois finds said trouble. Superman saves Lois and subsequently the world along with her. Everyone says, "Thank you, Superman!" It's all the same and people don't like that. People don't like that the man of steel just isn't human enough. Then again, there are always those people who'll back a winner.

Another lame quiz I found. It's pretty simplistic. I doubt anyone would really have trouble getting a high score on this one. |

And there it is. I've been reduced to filling out these lame quizzes because I have no reason to leave the house right now.
|
So there... fill it out. Eventhough most of you are virgins from what I gather. Yeah, I'm depraved. Depraved and bored.

It's so true. I remember getting e-mails of pictures of the Flintstones and various Disney characters screwing each other, as well as different super heroes and such.
|
I used to see this more with fan fiction. Seemed like no matter what the show, game, movie, comic strip, etc there was ALWAYS some sort of erotic story on it. Seemed like the most common was the Powerpuff Girls on some sites. EDIT: Just had to fix a couple typos. (Last edited by Rogue on 07-14-06 08:32 PM) (restricted) | (restricted) |

I remember seeing an erotic fan fic for the smiley face in Minesweeper. X_X

And the person who wrote it was serious.

Originally posted by Machiavellism She stole her argument from Kill Bill Volume 2.
It's what Bill said to explain why Beattrix Kiddo shouldn't hide who she is. Anyway, yeah, the X-Men have to hide who they are too. Supes is nothing special on that front. But back to my previous argument, it's not necessarily the angst that I was saying made a character more interesting, but it's one of many reasons why people prefer heroes who aren't perfect or completely invincible. We like to see someone fight to the finish, fighting tooth and nail with every breath. But with Superman, hell... he can just stand there, yawn and then maybe take out the bad guy when he feels like it. How interesting is that. It's like watching a baseball game where the pitcher threw nothing but no-hitters. There's no fun in that. Then again, not many people are into baseball any more.

Jobes pretty much hit the nail on [its] head. |
"It's" is short for "it is," whereas "its" is possessive like "hers" or "his."

I'm afraid you're wrong.
|
Entry for it on Dictionary.com Entry for it on Wikipedia And the official It's vs. Its page. You see "it's" is short for "it is" like "can't" is short for "can not" or "he's" to "he is." When you want to say something belongs to an "it," the proper word is "its," much like when something belongs to a "he," the proper word is "his," not "he's" (and "hers" to something that belongs to a "she"). To explain why "it's" is not proper for possessive would be like using "he's" or "she's" in place of "his" or "hers" respectively. Example: The man picked up he's suitcase These same arguments can be made for improper usage of "they're" with "their" and "you're" to "your." Review: It's --> "It is" Its: the possessive form of "it" He's --> "He is" His: the possessive form of "he" She's --> "She is" Hers: the possessive form of "she" You're --> "You are" Your: the possessive form of "you" They're --> "They are" Their: the possessive form of "they" (Last edited by Rogue on 07-14-06 04:49 PM)

Heh, that's like the gag of having your last name being "Bate" or "Bates" or any other spelling of it, in England. A friend of mine's father was telling me about going to a private boys' school in England where the teachers still placed "Master" before the students' names.
|
Often you'd hear one of the teachers calling down the hall, and most funnily in the dormitory, "Master Bate!"
Anyway, my custom title is usually just a random "Rogue is.." statement. I used to have an archive of them, but those went away along with my bio when I chose to delete it.

This is a little game, but not just a describe the "Person above you" or "Don't you hate when...?" thread.
|
This is a game where the person above you poses a scenario and you, the next poster, MUST come up with a way to solve the problem. After proposing a solution, you must also provide a problem for the next person to solve. Make the problem as complicated or ridiculous as you will, but do try to make it interesting. Posting something like "Your mother is dying. What do you do?" is a rather broad, and quite lame, scenario. What can one really say to that? But... when you pose, "Your mother has been poisoned by an obscure spider venom. It just so happens that a local liquor store happens to carry an antidote. You have a 1 hour window to get the antidote to her before the venom cannot be remedied. If you fail to reach her in time, her skin will break out into painful, infectious boils and she will have a gruesome and tragic end, suffering for hours before finally kicking the bucket. Your car has been in the shop for the past week and with no bicycle, skateboard, Segway or any other form of self-transportation in sight, you must reach the store which is 5 miles away using another method. The local cab company would take 45 minutes to send you a cab, and the next bus doesn't come for another 25 with a 30 minute trip around the city before getting even remotely near the store. The local hospital doesn't have the antidote and due to a 757 plane crash on the other side of town, the ambulance company is backed up for hours and probably will not reach you until it is far too late. What do you do?" is a much better scenario. Now a few ground rules:
Now for a problem for the next person to solve: Your work has decided to send you on an all-expenses paid trip to sunny Big, Angry Volcano Island of Death. Don't worry, it's just a name (it's actually a penisula). While there, you soak up some of the local color and meet a girl with whom you fall deeply and passionately in love, even if you just met her and she just put the lei on you when you got off the plane. She invites you to come visit her little village, of which she is the chief's daughter, several miles outside of town in the middle of the jungle to do a little bit of sightseeing. Upon arriving, you are welcomed with open arms like a golden gold descending upon the lost children of civilization seeking salvation. They have a feast to honor you, seat you with the chief who drinks several toasts to you, and afterwards they give you the biggest hut they have for you to stay in. The chief's daughter and you have hot, animal sex the whole night long and you fall asleep gratified and in wonder of your new found fortune. When you awaken, you find yourself tied, naked and covered in tribal paint, to a stake at the edge of a bubbling volcano, the chief's daughter dancing naked around you and all of the villagers chanting in a language you obviously do not understand. It's implied that they mean to sacrifice you to a volcano god of sorts. As tradition goes, they will leave you there for a few hours, but return later with ritual daggers with which to peel away your skin and drop you into the lava. After they have left, you are alone with none but the smell of sulfur and brimstone for company. What do you do? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
