There is one line [in Snakes on a Plane] that gets alot of emphasis, the line you already know, and honestly this part made me embarrassed for Sam Jackson, for movie fans, for the internet, and for white people. If you haven’t heard, at the climax of the movie Sam Jackson says, “That’s it! I have HAD IT with these motherfucking SNAKES on this motherfucking PLANE!” If I’m not mistaken that was a line that somebody in a talkback insisted had to be in the movie. Whoever first said it, the filmatists added it in reshoots because “the fans demanded it.” And that shit bugs me.
Because that is not a natural Sam Jackson badass line. That’s a white guy on the internet making up what he thinks Sam Jackson would say. I mean, obviously I enjoy the word motherfucker. I bet I use it more than any other writer on the films of cinema. Maltin, Shalit, Medved – none of these clowns come close to me on frequency or power when it comes to the use of motherfucker. But even those guys could tell you that you don’t use “motherfucking” twice in one sentence. I mean come on, it doesn’t even sound right.
"Cosmic ray particles with even higher energies have since been observed. Among them was the Oh-My-God particle observed on the evening of 15 October 1991 over Dugway Proving Ground, Utah. Its observation was a shock to astrophysicists, who estimated its energy to be approximately 3×1020 eV (50 J)—in other words, a subatomic particle with kinetic energy equal to that of a baseball (5 ounces or 142 grams) traveling at about 100 kilometers per hour (60 mph). It was most probably a proton traveling at about (1 − 5×10^−24) metres per second slower than the speed of light (approximately 0.9999999999999999999999951c), so close that in a year-long race between light and the particle, the particle would fall behind only 46 nanometers (5×10^−24 light-years), or 0.15 femtoseconds (1.5×10^−16 s)."
Though I'm kind of glad I missed big chunks of the actual show now. Meanwhile rad is intent on rewatching all of it on Netflix once they have the missing seasons on there too.
The only way to get into the beta at this point is to buy the game. Signups closed awhile ago. They might have an open beta closer to release but they haven't said anything about one.

it's a persona. some anonymous dude on the internet who reviews movies really hyperbolically while posing as like, some blue-collar semi-literate dude who watches nothing but chuck norris and steven seagal movies.
but he does put in some legitimate critique, as well. it's kind of half criticism and half comedy act, and in that respect he's kind of a forerunner to Plinkett.
I'm doing free introductions to Mike Rotch if anyone is interested.
He's a hard man to get in touch with, but I can help you reach him.

I got the audiobook of Diamond Age to listen to while working out. The book is pretty good so far but it's too early to pass judgement. The narrator though, holy shit she is outstanding. She does RP, cut fucking glass aristocratic RP, general American, New York, Texas, Florida, Nebraska and various other non-English accents. All of them are perfect.

Depending on the delivery, there are parts of the book that will be heartwrenching to hear them like that, instead of just reading them.

fucking vern
possibly
i ain't readin' that shit
I'm going to be so, so sad when I catch up with everyone else on this.
goodnight
WHY DID YOU NEVER TELL ME?!
I might just use Forum Discordia during the beta and then we can come up with something better for launch.
Did you see my suggestion of "Ad Hominem"? It's Latin, it's appropriate for us, and it was the name of the first D&D guild in WoW, so it has history.
You'll be happy when you get to the most recent episode, 29.
Oh yeah, I had forgotten. That works too, especially considering how many attacks at the man we are going to be making.
Physics is bad ass.

You and a few other people got me to try this show.
Shit will go down if it sucks.

i will fucking kill you

@Variable
vern is kind of cool

At which point a person can't reliably say it sucks.
I don't know man, I watched all of Heroes and Nip/Tuck and I think I can say pretty reliably that they suck monkey ovaries.

You have penetrated the truth. I think you've really touched on something here.
This Mr. Rotch fellow is intriguing. Tell me more of him.
Aaron Spelling is dead.

That is... quite a speed.
Mike Rotch is a really big guy. A little tall and a bit thick but he's a real spelunker.
