12:36 PM Mr. Yellow
The previews for the new Pirates movie look fantastic. I hope the film can live up to the trailer
12:46 PM Mr. Silver
We'll see.
They lifted some or all of the story from my least favorite book from my favorite author
Granted, there were some awfully cool things IN it...
stuff I've pondered using, even. But it just went kinda flat at the end and the hero didn't have that...umph
So...Jack Sparrow in his place, maybe gold
1:18 PM Mr. Yellow
As we all know movies are usually way different from books. They usually just take the main elements of the story and then the director and screen writers make it their own
1:22 PM Mr. Silver
uh oh…
1:32 PM Mr. Silver
Producer 1 - "I like the title."
Producer 2 - "I like the whole fountain of youth thing."
Producer 3 - "I like pirates and Blackbeard"
Exec Producer - "So what about all the voodoo, Loa spirits, dimensional travel, the two sorcerers and the helpless heroine thing?"
Producer 3 - "Too hard...”
Producer 2 - “Nah...
Producer 1 - “No one would get it..."
Exec Producer - "And the puppeteer hero? The pirate captain?"
Producer 2 - "Nah..."
Producer 1 - "Hey...Penelope Cruz is free."
Producer 3 - "Cool...perhaps we could write a part for her since the book has no female leads."
1:49 PM Mr. Green
what book did they base it on?
1:54 PM Mr. Silver
"On Stranger Tides" Tim Powers
2:02 PM Mr. Yellow
The thing I heard that I liked was that this movie focuses on Jack Sparrow
unlike the other movies
2:03 PM Mr. Silver
I'm sure it'll be loads of fun
2:09 PM Mr. Silver
Logan's Run and Bladerunner were both remarkably better movies than books
2:12 PM Mr. Silver
I'll assume Kubrick's "The Shining" too, even though I couldn't finish King’s book.
Something about the repetitive crashing boredom and incredibly uninteresting characters.
2:15 PM Mr. Silver
Had so looked forward to it too...sigh
2:17 PM Mr. Silver
Book bored me til i quit, and that's difficult
2:20 PM Mr. Silver
(loaner) "Well where did you stop???"
(me) "Oh, some ridiculous thing about a bee hive that somehow survived a poison spray or came back to life."
(loaner) "Oh! That's right where it starts getting interesting! Keep going!"
(Me) "I don't believe you. The man can't write long form and should stick to short stories. Here."
Love his short stories
2:26 PM Mr. Silver
(sorry for the rant...)
Mr. Green
I really liked Christine, the Stand, and Carrie. read them all when I was pretty young though, like 12 or 13
then I moved on to Eric Van Lustbader, who is my favorite author
2:29 PM Mr. Silver
King has a reputation for something, I'm sure, but something about the novels I read (or in that case, dumped) just doesn't do it for me.
2:33 PM Mr. Silver
Caught heck for that opinion, and saying "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" was crap on a sci-fi site once.
Stand by my critique. Phil K might be a seminal creative force but PU
2:36 PM Mr. Green
heheh
"Stranger in a Strange Land" is still my favorite SciFi book
2:39 PM Mr. Silver
Haven't read it yet. Probably should one of these days.
2:41 PM Mr. Green
definitely Heinlein’s masterpiece
Mr. Blue
more spam email poetry
Julia uttered a low cry and redoubled her speed, and was soon at Mr.
but unfortunately found him out. Otherwise your brother would be here
and there a tall pine sometimes stately and erect, sometimes blown
8:50 AM Mr. Brown
That makes no sense
lol
8:51 AM Mr. Silver
Sounds Engrishy
Perhaps there's a weird logic to it if you apply a thesaurus.
(considers) Nod...there's an intended meaning in English.
It's just obscured as hell
8:57 AM Mr. Silver
Let's see...
The first part, she's actually running away from a man, and despite a burst of speed he catches her
If she hadn't been caught, she would have met (her brother?) at the appointed place.
Which might have been a particular tree or place in a forest they used to go, or that's the secondary meeting spot.
However I think it was the primary and she just didn't get there.
(I love Engrish)
definitely Asian...probably Japanese
They seem to like emotive/evocative descriptions for plain things like simple trees
So...do I win?
9:04 AM Mr. Blue
the subject was related to erectile dysfunction
so i assumed the story was as well
9:05 AM Mr. Silver
eh...just content to get through a filter...hideously translated clip from a manga or something
9:14 AM Mr. Blue
yeah
Mr. Blue
what is the purpose of Num Lock?
11:23 AM Mr. Silver
turns the keypad on and off
11:24 AM Mr. Blue
why would you want it off?
11:26 AM Mr. Silver
I can't think of a reason
11:29 AM Mr. Blue
when you think about it, keyboards are rather robust devices
they really take a beating
11:36 AM Mr. Blue
I’d like a blank keyboard
just to show how boss I am... like a guitar without fret markers
11:39 AM Mr. Silver
Couple that with a computer that won't show the letters you're typing until you print it out. You'd be so COOL!
Mr. Brown
i just saw a picture of somebody folding a dollar and putting the bottom half of George Washington's head up to the top half of Jack Nicholson's head
lol
...if only there was some way you could show us
type in “Nicholson Money” in Google images
(Looks) Of course, that'd be Franklin, not Washington
ahhh dang
i looked at that too fast
Franklin's jawline is missing that distinctive "Painful hippo-bone false teeth" look.
That and the "100"
100?
100 on the bill instead of 1
ah
did Ben Franklin have false teeth also?
no idea
well Washing ton was the first General of the Armies
He got a lot more action (recorded anyway) than George ever did though
Ben Franklin...”Party Dude”
"Inventor of the Franklin Stove, Bifocals, and while in France the Franklin Beer Bong. Also instituted the tradition of the panty raid."
lol
Ben 'Lightning Rod' Franklin
(Gendarme with firm grip on scowling Franklin's collar. Furious blushing french girl pointing and yelling) "...and then 'ee ask mee “ey Fifi! Doo yoo want too see zee key vair I wuz ztruck by zee lightneeng, bebe?"
