    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.

    Yeah, me too:

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
