I know what time it is where you live, and this disgusts me.
umm...I'm talking like Joycean ambitious here. Convoluted architectonics, multiple narrators, Ada, or Ardoresque multiple age accounts.
Damn. I'm neither smart enough nor talented enough to do it.
Well if your gimmick is going to work anything like responding to the wrong quotes, then yeah, I'd have to say that would be a little tiresome.
Don't you know anything you fool it's the unreliable narration and passion of Nabokov coupled with the stream of consciousness of Joyce. It's a masterpiece I tell you!
Hey, I've got a good idea for an action movie. I'll set use an overlong expository speech to set up this bad-ass sounding futuristic martial art, and then when it comes time to show it I'll turn off all the set lights so the fight scene is in pitch black darkness!
This is pretty much what went through my head after that:
Okay, fine. So maybe this isn't an action movie after all. Okay, I can dig that, I'll watch it for the plot. A futuristic dystopia where peoples' natural emotions are suppressed through psychiatric medication? Man, that wasn't original in 1971 when George Lucas ripped off Aldous Huxley, let alone 30 years later. Hey, I remember that puppy scene, only it was a cat and it was in Logan's Run. Did I just get sucked into a time warp? Because this shit is more of a throwback than That 70s Show. At least all those crappy dystopian sci-fi flicks had tits.
Man Feral, you should hate on shit more often. Maybe we should start a hate thread, but who knows, it might end up drawing off more posters than Phalla.

A hate thread could be fun. I know there's plenty of shitty things worth ranting about that I can think of.
It surprised everyone. I mean, Ethan Hawke does Sci-Fi? That can't be any good, can it?
Does sci-fi require different acting techniques than other dramatic film genres?

I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.

Ethan Hawke does not stick out in my mind as a particularly great actor in general. Training Day worked, but only because Denzel chewed him up and spit him out in every single scene (which is exactly what he was supposed to do).

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

You know, I step out for a while and it's like everyone had a party while I was gone. I've even done a search on Dyna's posts and I still have no idea what the fuck is going on.
I'm sure it's been explained, but could someone give me the short version?

Dyna decided this year was the year he was really going to kill Christmas once and for all.

Ohhhhhkay. I was starting to think it was some elaborate prank being played out and I was catching the tail end of it. I did enjoy the Forum History thread, though. I've been around a couple years, but my first foray into posting frightened me back to lurking until recently. I had no idea the forums had been around this long.
Of all these films being discussed in here, I've seen Blade Runner and THX 1138.
Anyhow, listening to Seeed.
Go. Rent Gattaca. ASAP.
I just canceled my Netflix subscription.
What is THX 1138 about? It sounds familar.
Dystopian sci-fi. Bald plebes in white jumpsuits live in a dreary underground complex where they're fed massive amounts of psych meds to keep them docile. Then one of them goes off his meds with sexy results. But their android masters don't like it when the primates start shagging without permission so they try to run away. Hilarity ensues.
It would be a sad footnote in the history of sf cinema if it weren't noteworthy for being George Lucas's first feature film.

I will say Dyna's a cool dude when he's not insane or being unnecessarily assholish.
Apparently we're having a thing? I didn't even know.
Yeah, I don't know why he's after you.
He went off on Sherri that day, and she wasn't playing, so I started giving it back to him just to make it fair, and now he's all "I'm comin fo' you boy", I guess. Except he keeps doing it after I go to bed, which is really no fun for anyone.
Everytime I think that starting a Daft Punk cover band would be an awesome idea, it quickly occurs to me that doing Prime Time of Your Life would kill the drummer.

Now what am I gonna do? Go down to Hollywood Video to rent these? Go to a physical location? Yeech.
Seriously though guys -- the gas mileage I get on my bike is RIDICULOUS.
I'm getting INFINITE MILES PER GALLON OF GASOLINE on my bicycle. It is pretty awesome.
That's what I'm saying.
And the emissions? Competitive.
All in all, it's pretty awesome. However, I have had this problem that when I push the engine too hard, it falls over and collapses. I think I need to get a full internal inspection of the engine, especially the exhaust system. I think the tailpipes might need to be cleaned out. :winky:
People are telling me to stop building my model until tomorrow. Their reasoning is a cut on my thumb. This makes no sense, it's not even deep enough for stitches and I inflicted it last night before bed and it has since closed up nicely, and I have been making a point of making some sort of bandage to put on it while working on the kit mostly to prevent cutting myself again (these parts are too tiny to "cut away from you" when shaving off the tree-burrs) or re-openning it from applying too much direct pressure to it at funny angles that I'm not really paying attention to.
I really don't think all those details are necessary to the story, though. It's just a fucking cut, not even good enough to warrant the term laceration. What the fuck is wrong with people that they're freaking out and saying I'm literally going to lose my arm from cutting my damned thumb with a freaking Victorinox? And what makes them think waiting until tomorrow to continue building will stop me from simply cutting my thumb open again then?
Edit: I haven't even got any blood on the Wiessritter. Seriously, what the fuck? Why is everyone I know such a bunch of fucking pansies? And given that, what the fuck business do they have calling me a girl?

Speaking of dystopian scifi... I liked Gattaca, and I was really expecting not to.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
A hate thread could be fun. I know there's plenty of shitty things worth ranting about that I can think of.
at the beginning
Oh? A genetic engineering movie? Lemme guess, human spirit conquers all.
at the end
Man did you see what the human spirit did there? Kick ASS!
Personally I give most of the credit to Jude Law.

Ethan Hawke is in it? It must suck.

Quite possibly one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history, IMHO.
You know, thinking about it, Gattaca is actually a awesome retelling of the Faust tale.
