If chat thread whinging about gender stereotypes/dating woes/etc. has taught me anything, it's that everyone would be a lot happier just dating hermaphrodites. I've never seen a bad word about them come up in one of these conversations, so that seems like the logical option.
Huh. So the shot showing the death of Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace is eerily similar to a shot showing the death of a redneck henchman at the end of Blind Fury.
Blind Fury, for those who don't know, is a movie with Rutger Hauer as a blind swordsman/Vietnam vet fighting drug dealers in Reno- but because it's the 80's, there's also an obnoxious entitled 80's kid taking up a lot of screentime with terrible father-figure/son bonding horseshit. Also Sho Kosugi shows up for like 5 minutes in there as a nameless, characterless swordsman wearing black.
I mention this, because it would explain a lot about the Star Wars prequels if it turned out George Lucas had been watching a lot of movies like Blind Fury prior to making them.
I fucking love Blind Fury. It is a cinematic masterpiece.

I think it's just a coincidence. Like the plane falling out of the tree in Time Chasers being similar to the car falling out of the tree in Jurassic Park.
Or maybe Lucas and Spielberg were both inspired by crappy movies.
Haha. Blind Fury. Haven't seen that in a couple of years.
I think thats the point though, so they can't eat 5 pounds of food in 3 seconds, not that its really stopping the little beast.
Yeah, that's the point of the bowl. It's not good for them to gulp down their food and they will if you let them. If they eat too fast then they don't digest their food properly. Then you'll start finding whole kibble in their stool.
I just took him out for a long walk around town so he's pretty tired. He's napping on the floor next to me now.
Has anyone ever used Kickstarter.com with any success before? I'm thinking about setting up an account to help me get a new computer for doing arts (one that won't overheat when doing two things at once), and I was curious what the best way to approach a project like that was.
I should probably X post this in the Questions thread, huh.

I'm willing to entertain the possibility that it wasn't entirely coincidence. I remember a podcast with the Pixar storyboard artists saying how they generally don't watch good movies for stuff to inspire/rip-off at work- they just do that on off hours and absorb goodness through osmosis, because if you specifically sit down to try and pick out useful bits in a good movie, all you wind up doing is just watching the movie, because a good movie is, if nothing else, engaging.
So what they do instead is watch a lot of crappy movies at work, because when something is off or stupid or doesn't make any sense, your mind immediately goes, "oh man, this would be so much better if they'd just done X, Y, and Z!", which gives you good, new ideas that you've sorted out in your mind in an analytical way, which then can be put into your movie.
Which, in the case of Jurassic Park, in the hypothetical scenario where Spielberg (or the screenwriter) saw that part of Time Chasers, you can see that at work- they took something that was an ok idea that was poorly put together in execution, said 'oh man, if only they'd done THIS, it would be 1000 times more exciting!' and then they did that, and it winds up being a classic cinematic moment.
On the other hand, you've got the Blind Fury scenario, where Lucas saw Blind Fury and was like, "I'm going to take that shot, move the camera a bit to the right, and then go to A&W."
I just don't like how bloated of a program it is, and how unnecessarily complicated it makes using an iPhone/iPod.
I just want to back up my contacts list and put new music on my phone. Instead, it's got a list of 12 other things it wants to do first, making this process last until our sun burns out and the cold of space claims me.

My new neighbor just moved in tonight. I can hear everything she does... that also means, she can hear everything I do. Unless she's deaf. God, I hope she's deaf.
Oddly, all reading that makes me wonder is how she hasn't jumped off of something very high. I think I would spontaneously climb shit if I wasnt afraid of anything.

Youtube Doubler side-by-side.
I am surprised and delighted that a site which serves to perfectly illustrate my point exists.
I am less delighted that Lucas didn't think to throw Darth Maul through a plate glass window as well while he was at it.
