Day 274 - Faster Than A Government Coverup, Hollywood Needs "Punished", Frankenstein's Health Plan, Immortality In Blue, Blessed Are The Meek Germans For They Shall Inherit Germany, and "Plummet For The Earth"

(It's appalling how many days I have saved up - Mr. Silver)

1:29 PM Mr. Blue
I caught some of “Superman 2” as well.
I laughed out loud at the part where the needle of the Empire State Building almost fell on a lady pushing a baby stroller (at night) and instead of moving or anything she just yells "MY BABY!"
I hadn't even seen it before, but I knew it so well that I said "MY BABY!" before she even did.
1:33 PM Mr. Silver
I saw “Superman 2” over the weekend too.  Same scene, Mrs Silver with me.
"Try walking away slowly, lady."
1:35 PM Mr. Brown
Yeah!
Niagara Falls. Great horrible scene with the boy falling in.
1:36 PM Mr. Brown
Basically, Superman has time to run normal speed off somewhere, then fly in and catch the falling boy.
1:36 PM Mr. Brown
Um no. That boy be dead.
1:36 PM Mr. Blue
Yeah, he risks the boy's life just to hide his identity.
1:38 PM Mr. Silver
Supes can actually travel at, or close to, light speed.  He had plenty of time. 
1:38 PM Mr. Blue
But he rarely does.
1:38 PM Mr. Silver
Yes, it's kind of funny in the movies and shows...him leisurely floating along.
1:38 PM Mr. Blue
When he heard about the Eiffel Tower hostage thing, it takes him like 10 minutes to get there.
1:38 PM Mr. Brown
Well when he is jogging to a place to change...
1:39 PM Mr. Silver
"I need a phone booth!  A real one!"
"Pfft...try Topeka Kansas."
"Right!  Thanks!"  (ZOOOM!!!!)
1:41 PM Mr. Silver
At Niagara, I had the thought: "So what happens if Superman flies into a crowd but forgot to take off the glasses?  What happens then?"
1:41 PM Mr. Blue
LOL
1:41 PM Mr. Silver
"Uh...everyone line up for a kiss."
(crowd)  "Ewwwww!  No!"
"I SAID LINE UP!!!
1:42 PM Mr. Silver
(Daily Planet front page)  "Niagara Falls Apparently Hit By Comet, No Survivors - Clark Kent, reporter"



2:19 PM Mr. Brown
I can tell you right now, I would be Dolph Lundgren-like if I was in films.
2:24 PM Mr. Silver
I see myself as the calm and calculating voice of reason and shoulder to cry on type, with an interest in investigation and mystery. 
WITH ONE OF THESE!!!  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minigun
BRRRRRRRAAAAKKAKKAKKSKAKAKAAKAKKAKKAKAK!!!!!
"Grab the books and the alternative music CDs!  Get to the choppa!"
2:25 PM Mr. Blue
I see myself as an amalgam of every character Gosling, Pitt and Depp have ever done, rolled into one. But with Arnold's body, circa “Predator”.
2:25 PM Mr. Brown
I can tell you, I would fight exactly the same as Dolph.
Slow and precise.
2:25 PM Mr. Silver
"I love you Sweetie!  I brought flowers! 
BRRRRRRRAAAAKKAKKAKKSKAKAKAAKAKKAKKAKAK!!!!!"
3:06 PM Mr. Brown
I thought he was a good Punisher.
I have that on DVD, actually.
3:07 PM Mr. Blue
I've never seen it.
3:08 PM Mr. Silver
Me either.
3:08 PM Mr. Blue
I didn't even know it existed until we were talking about Dolph last week.
3:08 PM Mr. Brown
Nice and dark.
3:09 PM Mr. Silver
Weird though...a violence-filled blast fest, but they removed the only iconic element of the character...the skull shirt...because they thought it was too much.
3:09 PM Mr. Brown
Yeah, LOL
3:10 PM Mr. Silver
(Film Exec Dork) "We wouldn't want to offend anyone with such a gruesome Halloween decoration as a skull on his shirt as he's slaughtering everyone...it might have a bad effect on the psyche of the kids."
3:11 PM Mr. Silver
(Film Yes-Man) "And the women will be turned off."
3:12 PM Mr. Silver
(The only comic-fan intelligent guy in the room) "Um...there will be no kids or women attending this movie.  There will, however, be thousands of fanboys."
3:12 PM Mr. Blue
Heh
3:13 PM Mr. Silver
(Smart guy) "Fanboys who want guns, explosives, and lots of blood and meat chunks, and the F-ing SKULL SHIRT!"
(Film Exec Dork) "You're fired."
(Smart guy) "Yeah...whatever..."
3:19 PM Mr. Blue
The Dolph one is only 89 minutes. That's about as short as a movie can get before it's just a special.
3:19 PM Mr. Silver
"The Punisher....an ABC After-school Special"
3:20 PM Mr. Blue
"We gotta cut this down! The studio's breathin' down my neck about this 92 minute run time!"
3:20 PM Mr. Silver
(Post film message from the Punisher) "Stay in school. Don't get into crime, or I'll shoot your head off."
3:20 PM Mr. Blue
"I suppose we can remove the ending bit where the Punisher makes amends and finds Christ."
3:21 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
3:22 PM Mr. Blue
"Hi boys and girls. I'm the Punisher.  Now, I'm all about vigilante justice, but there's nothing "vigilante justice" about smoking marijuana."



Mr. Silver
So, Mr. Gray...I heard you had a pre-op discussion with Dr. Frankenstein yesterday.  Good guy.  He offer you immortality and Olympian strength too?
The fine print in the patient release seemed kinda dicey and I opted for the anti-biotics
9:15 AM Mr. Blue
?
9:16 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
Yeah well....I passed on the Immortality. I blame this place for my wanting to die.
9:20 AM Mr. Silver
I didn't get the “sensitivity to fire” side-effect thing.
And it sounded like an awful lot of stitches for the flu.



Mr. Brown
Demon.
11:39 AM Mr. Blue
Pretty common. Those frozen dudes start decomposing pretty quickly once moved.
11:40 AM Mr. Silver
"Immortality Achievement Sabotaged By Nosy Scientists - Spirit of Chinese Noble Pissed, Prepared To Curse"
11:40 AM Mr. Blue
I figured out what my preferred method of death/burial would be if money/technology was no object.
11:42 AM Mr. Brown
Shot into the Sun? Going down in a blaze of glory?
11:42 AM Mr. Blue
In my last stages of life, you hook me up to all kinds of drugs and IV machines that keep me comfortable and alive, but also cognizant. Then put me in an egg-shaped pod with panoramic view and shoot me out into space. Preferably even beyond the solar system, with some fly-byes of a few of our best planets.
11:43 AM Mr. Brown
Hell, they could just shoot you onto Jupiter.
I saw the giant storm before I died!”
11:44 AM Mr. Blue
I don't want to crash into Jupiter, but maybe do a fly-by.
11:44 AM Mr. Brown
Release your ashes into space. Become part of space.
11:45 AM Mr. Blue
There would be solar panels on the pod to keep things powered up and keep the temperature comfortable. I don't know how long I could survive that way. With the right drugs and nutrients, probably years.
11:46 AM Mr. Silver
(Alien Xeno-Archaeologist showing the press photos of pod) "Apparently his race hated him so much that they loaded him with torture chemicals, restraints and tubes, and shot him into space, where he'd be bored until he went insane, but couldn't die."
11:46 AM Mr. Blue
LOL



2:56 PM Mr. Brown
Germanic tribes mixed with Nordic tribes, didn't they?
2:58 PM Mr. Blue
I think they started as Celts.
The Celts originated in the Germany area, then they spread out.
2:59 PM Mr. Silver
If only the Celts had taken up writing and learned to fight in groups.
2:59 PM Mr. Brown
So basically, I can say I'm a CELT since its in all three blood lines I have, that I know of.
3:00 PM Mr. Blue
At least during the Roman times, Germany was just a loose collection of tribes and stuff.
3:00 PM Mr. Brown
I still want to find the family tarta
tartar
3:00 PM Mr. Silver
TARTAN!!!
3:00 PM Mr. Blue
But those tribes, if traced, probably didn't stay in Germany.
3:01 PM Mr. Blue
I figure it was the tribes that didn't fight that lasted, and if they didn't fight then the Romans probably didn't mention them much in writing.
3:01 PM Mr. Silver
Lasted, but weren't in charge.
3:02 PM Mr. Silver
"Ave, Centurion!  The enemy has reinforcements coming!  You can see then at the crest of the hill!" 
"What markings do they bear?"
"None, actually."
"Ah...those celts.  They're just coming to picnic and watch the fight.  Don't worry about them."
3:03 PM Mr. Blue
Heh
3:04 PM Mr. Blue
I like to think that while the Germanic tribes and Romans were fighting, my ancestors were just kind of chilling out and farming/hunting and not saying “boo”.
The Romans show up:
"We require a tribute, and we will not take no for an a-"
"OK, here you go."
3:05 PM Mr. Silver
"Do not try to resist! You will surrender all you have for cataloging in the name of Caesar!"
"Whatever. Need help?"
3:06 PM Mr. Blue
"We took the liberty of cataloging it for you. Hail Caesar."



Mr. Silver
8:35 AM Ted A. “Reach for the stars. If you fall, you may land on the the clouds.” “
As implied...100% chance of pancaking on the pavement.
9:38 AM Mr. Brown
Or you could land on a pointy building.
9:40 AM Mr. Silver
Oooo. Crowdpleaser...I like that one.
9:40 AM Mr. Blue
Why would Ted post that?
No offense to him, but I don't picture him as a "reach for the stars" type.
More like "reach for the couch".
9:41 AM Mr. Silver
"Reach for the beer and chips.  If you miss, you might have to shift over a little."
9:43 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
9:43 AM Mr. Amethyst
Hahaha
9:43 AM Mr. Blue
If you're reaching for the stars and you land at Katzenjammer, you sure as hell missed the clouds.”
9:44 AM Mr. Brown
He is all Zen-ish anymore.
9:45 AM Mr. Silver
"Reach for the stars.  If you fall, water vapor isn't dense enough to support a solid body."
9:45 AM Mr. Brown
Reach for the stars, fall on a Care Bear.”
I can see that being a song.
9:47 AM Mr. Silver
"Reach for the stars.  Then wash off the patchouli and get a job, hippie."
9:47 AM Mr. Brown
Reach for the stars and die due to freezing and lack of oxygen.
Also imploding.
9:48 AM Mr. Silver
"Reach for the stars...expect it to take millions of years."
(pst...you don't implode in a vacuum.)
9:49 AM Mr. Gray
"Reach for the stars....and then pull something and limp your lazy ass back to the couch"
9:50 AM Mr. Brown
"Reach for the stars, realize you can't fly, sit down, ask child to bring you a beer"
9:51 AM Mr. Silver
"Reach for the stars...gain restraining order...doesn't matter, got star grope."
