[
12:14 PM] Ms. Rose:
"Thank
you for calling, this is Mittens." LOL :P
[
1:05 PM] Mr. Silver:
"Help
you? Sure! It's in the bag."
"Cozy
Comfort Carrier ... for you ... F the cat and his friggin' claws.
If it was legal there'd be a design to shove the furry bastard's hand
biting head in there too."
[
1:09 PM] Mr. Blue:
No
cat I’ve ever owned would go for that
[
1:19 PM] Mr. Silver:
Nope...I
don't know of any of mine that wouldn't go berserk
"Comes
in a variety of colors that are attractive when shredded - including
fresh AND dried "blood"! (pictured, left)
[
1:27 PM] Mr. Blue:
Try
even putting a leash on a cat... most go nuts
If
your cat is so docile it'll sit still to have a bag put around its
neck and its body, you might as well just carry it
[
1:28 PM] Mr. Silver:
We
tried a leash on our cat. Went "well".
Meaning
we recovered him out of the bushes and got him back inside the house.
[
1:32 PM] Mr. Blue:
Heh
[
1:35 PM] Mr. Brown:
All
you need is a big bag clip. Grab a tuft of neck, place clip, cat
goes limp
If
you do a harness it works better for walking a cat.
You
have to let them wear it around the house for a bit to get used to it
though
And
truthfully, the cat walks you.
You're
not gonna make it go where you want to go.
[
1:40 PM] Ms. Rose:
It's
called a scruff and it does NOT make a cat go limp. This is why
Morticia has to be taken to the vet just to get a nail trim. (Which
of course results in barf and poop and screaming the whole way
there.)
[
1:40 PM] Mr. Brown:
If
you pinch the right spot on the scruff of the neck cats get calm
It
has to do with the whole idea of the mother picking it up
[
1:43 PM] Mr. Blue:
Some
do, some don't
Some
still freak out. I have cuts to prove it
[
1:43 PM] Ms. Rose:
I
am a certified Crazy Cat Lady and the scruff thing has never worked
on any of my cats. Half of a Childrens Benadryl though? Miracle. :P
[
1:45 PM] Mr. Silver:
[8:06
AM] Mr. Silver:
"Krull"
I
can't decide if I should talk about it now or wait for the crew...
[8:07
AM] Mr. Blue:
One
of those movies that almost made me kind of... queasy feeling
[8:07
AM] Mr. Silver:
Watched
it last night with Mrs. Silver and Junior for the first time since
the 80s, probably.
It's
a combination of fun and absolute mess
I
guess that means it qualifies as a "hot mess"
I
came to an interesting conclusion right at the last line of the film.
It
ends with a recitation of the same prophesy it started with:
"A
girl of ancient name that shall become queen, that she shall choose a
king, and that together they shall rule their world, and that their
son shall rule the galaxy".
(Me)
"Holy crap! Their kid is Ming the Merciless!"
[8:14
AM] Mr. Blue:
Hehe!
[8:36
AM] Mr. Silver:
“Krull”
could never be made today...not like that.
[8:38
AM] Mr. Blue:
They
couldn't remake “Krull”?
[8:38
AM] Mr. Silver:
I'm
just thinking script and realization. People just wouldn't take
it.
[8:38
AM] Mr. Blue:
Oh
yeah
[8:39
AM] Mr. Silver:
“Krull”.
It's the name of the planet. Its meaningless as a title. ???
There
are less people on Krull than there are in Middle Earth
(I was going to refer you all to an earlier post of this collection discussing how empty Middle Earth is. When I couldn't find any trace of it, I realized it's still in the pile I haven't posted yet. Silly me! - Mr. Silver)
They
literally see no buildings or roads for the entire film, even when
flying, except the castle at the beginning, which is in the middle of
absolutely nowhere. No town, no farms, no outbuildings. They meet 1
normal human from the "nearby village".
Yet
in the range of walking distance and partial day horse rides, there
is:
An
Excalibur weapon
An
Emerald Sanctuary
A
seer
A
death swamp
Another
seer with a giant spider guard
And
a herd of horses that can run 100MPH and fly.
Oh...and
an old man prophet who has wandered locally his whole career.
NONE
OF WHICH any of them knew about or were known “old legends”.
Is
the entire planet of Krull packed with this stuff, or it is all concentrated
in this one 30 mile diameter area?
[8:57
AM] Mr. Blue:
Heh
Maybe
there was some kinda famine that depopulated the region of normals
Now
wizards and warlocks outnumber humans
[9:01
AM] Mr. Silver:
Perhaps.
Though the villain describes killing hundreds more innocents per day
if the princess won't marry him...for some reason...
[9:02
AM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe
there's a director's cut that shows more people
[9:03
AM] Mr. Silver:
The
princess and alien aren't exactly compatible
(me,
mocking) "Grow an additional 15' and be my bride!"
(Silver
Jr.) "Where did the aliens get all the horses?"
(Me)
"That's a good question, but the movie showed they had them when
the ship landed."
(Jr.)
"Maybe horses are aliens."
(Me)
"On all sorts of planets? Yeah. I like that!"
So...The
Glaive
I
recall sitting in the theater when I was a kid, saying "But
that's not a glaive. A glaive is a polearm."
[9:26
AM] Mr. Brown:
Low
voice "I’m coming for you. You took my friend's princess.
When I find you I’m going to kill you"
Liam
Neissen Was in it.
[9:27
AM] Mr. Silver:
Heh.
Robbie Coltrane too.
(me)
"They killed Mexican Hagrid!"
[9:30
AM] Mr. Brown:
WOW!
Forgot he was in it too.
[9:30
AM] Mr. Silver:
So
in King Arthur style, “Prince Future-Tight-Pants” (Mrs Silver)
has to go off and get his magic weapon to prove his destiny...to no
one. He never even explains it to his team or shows it off and
no one seems to recognize it.
He
collects it by thrusting his arm into what is implied to be
lava...thus proving he's of low enough intelligence but tough enough
to rule the world (see "zero population")
He
never uses the thing.
"You'll
know the time..."
Well,
the time was "every fight", because the thing is amazing,
and piles of companions died while the team tried to fight aliens
with regular weapons.
But
no...He didn't know the time. When he finally does, he effortlessly
kills 6 Slayers with 2 light tosses.
"DUDE!!!"
[9:35
AM] Mr. Brown:
His
weapon is flaccid
[9:38
AM] Mr. Silver:
He
then lightly cuts The Beast on the arm, and gets it
stuck...permanently...in its shoulder. End of the Glaive.
They finish the rest of the adventure with Love's Flamethrower.
...now...
on that note...
[9:39
AM] Mr. Brown:
Only
the fire of love will win!
That's
what you get for wearing no protection in those times
[9:40
AM] Mr. Silver:
Do
all married couples get this fire thing? Because the water-and-fire
wedding ceremony seemed pretty standard to everybody.
[9:40
AM] Mr. Brown:
Well,
she has red hair. Maybe it happens with red haired princesses and
they don't all have red hair.
[9:40
AM] Mr. Silver:
True...and
she was a “hottie”...could
be a factor.
[9:41
AM] Mr. Brown:
I
like that movie
[9:42
AM] Mr. Silver:
Yeah...It
was a lot of fun.
It
was more like a dream than a coherent movie though
[9:42
AM] Mr. Brown:
However
the bad guy's army has the worst possible armor
Like,
it looks cool but is very poorly designed
Probably
why they can shoot lazers (yes with a Z)
They
are storm troopers
LOL
[9:43
AM] Mr. Silver:
I
mentioned that too
"Stay
at range! They shoot like Stormtroopers! We'll be fine!"
(Mrs
Silver) “I noticed that..."
[9:44
AM] Mr. Brown:
The
big bad guy really did not even need to keep moving the castle.
Let’s be honest he did not even need an army. He was humongous
I
think we talked about the cyclops having the worst possible deal
ever?
[9:46
AM] Mr. Silver:
Hehe...the
race traded an eye to The Beast so they could see the future...but
the only future they could see was their own death.
And
yet...
If
they defy it...
“Ooooh
BOY, is it gonna be BAD! I'll tell ya!”
So...the
cyclops avoids his death and...um...well...
Well,
he seems to be immune to the laser shots
(Immortal?
That MAKES SENSE!!! He MISSED his DEATH and can't DIE!)
But
still gets crushed holding a door open.
Maybe
he's crushed yet still alive? Eeeeeee!
They
don't spell it out, but if that's the case...that's why
cyclops folk don't skip their death date.
