520 - Surviving By Artificial Tooth, Claw, And Body

[8:50 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 

so i found out there are two kinds of Lemings

Norwegian ones will fight you not run away.

[8:51 AM]

And those

[8:52 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

i think the whole lemmings following each other to their death was a myth

[8:52 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 

well one species does run away

and tries to hide

[8:53 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

someone created a nature documentary and like, flung them off a cliff or something

the game was badass, i remember playing it for hours

[8:55 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 

lemmings fluctuate population greatly.

[9:05 AM] 

Disney

Exposed for throwing the lemmings

[9:06 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

yep that was it

i think they even built a special catapult for it

and then just filmed from below

[9:07 AM] 

Hadn't heard the mechanical element before

Disney's nature shows were decidedly pre- "no animals were harmed in the making of this film"

Certain scenes were either a miracle of lucky film-making...

Or beasts thrust together to see what happened.

[9:09 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

even modern day nature docs seem faked or staged

but harmless to the animals

I think a lot of it is clever editing to make certain encounters seem real when they're not

"uh oh! here comes a mongoose. Mr. snake better be on the lookout." [never see both animals in the same shot]

[9:12 AM] 

"Here's an elk minding its own business on what isn't a well-lit stage.  GOSH!  A mountain lion just kinda scrambled into the scene like escaping from a box!  We're in luck that its perfectly framed!" 

"That big cat sure looks like it hasn't eaten in a week."

[9:17 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Or the well-lit shots of some animal's burrow that's deep underground

[9:23 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 

Suddenly the MGM lion shows up

[9:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

[David Attenborough voice] Along one of the tributaries of the Congo river, a male silverback gorilla surveys his territory [clearly footage of 1933 stop-motion King Kong]

[9:33 AM] 

heh

[12:08 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Tony just told me i piss him off real bad

i don't actually think its hate, but im sure i could've irked him

Have you ever talked to him Mr. Silver?

he likes to tell everyone to not get married or just prepare for divorce

[12:11 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 

you mean like Mark?

pretty much any man that has had a divorce will give that advice

[12:13 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Mark just told me all about how his kid hates his guts and i had nothing to say and i just felt bad

[12:17 PM] 

Never did get the story on Mark's kid.  It was great when it all began. 

[12:17 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

they met recently for the first time in maybe years?

she basically inherited all Mark's problems and all her mom's problems so she's screwed

[12:19 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

how old is she now?  sounds like his wife is milking her

him

[12:19 PM] 

...that was disturbing either way

[12:22 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 

Mark said some stuff like his wife turned her against him

[12:23 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

yea

[12:24 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

18ish

[12:24 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 

My mother did not turn either of us against my father

she tried to help him even after divorcing him

paid off the house

did not ask for anything

[12:24 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

i hate parents who brainwash their kids, thats bullshit

[12:26 PM] 

(Luke in hand-less agony in Cloud City) "Well what about my mom?!?"

(Vader...shifts uncomfortably) "...Uhhhhh."

"What!?  Tell me!"

"Uhhhh...she was a bitch and abandoned you?  Is this important?  I don't want this to interfere with the whole Rule the Galaxy thing."

"It's not true!  I can tell!  It's impossible!"

"Okay...okay!  I might have…maybe...killed her at a distance with The Force, but-"

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!"

[12:53 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 

Brosnan was the mix James Bond

like he was a lot of all of the ones before him

[1:48 PM] 

(blinks)

[1:49 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 

Got the ladies man side, fight ability, speed boats, cars.

[1:49 PM] 

Yes. Technically it was because he was the one that came after all the others...hehe

[1:49 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 

right

i'm just saying they kinda mixed everything they had done into his films

[1:49 PM] 

Craig is actually the closest

Like everything

Attitudes, habits, a living F-up, ruthless

[1:52 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

Chauvinist

In Bond world, every innocuous household device can release a spray or gas that will knock someone out

I'd like just once for there to be complications

Like every time Bond or someone clocks someone on their head with his pistol to just knock them out

I wonder how many people he gave permanent brain injuries to

[2:25 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 

Henchman Insurance

Villain doctor: “You have had 37 concussions this month. We can no longer cover you.”

[2:25 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

lol

Imagine giving Jaws dental exams

[2:27 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 

That claw guy

“whole arm coverage”

[2:28 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

"sorry but this claw looks like a pre-existing condition."

[2:31 PM] 

(Prosthesis consultant at hospital) "We have a variety of prosthetic styles for you to choose from...anywhere from realistic look to practical manipulations."

"Anything I can cut, smash and clip through metal with unnatural strength?"

"Errr....well...this one has a hook on it you could sharpen."

[2:37 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

"The hydraulic technology just isn't there yet"

Like with Jaws - it wouldn't make a difference what your teeth were made out of; you'd still be limited by jaw strength

[2:44 PM] 

I bite the inside of my mouth enough as it is

[2:47 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

Imagine how much silverware you'd go through...or worse yet severing your tongue

[3:25 PM] 

(dentist to Jaws...holds up rope) "Been flossing?"

[3:25 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

lol

i think he even bit through a steel cable once

[3:29 PM] 

Yes...Moonraker

Bit through a gondola line

[3:25 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 

I'm wondering how he stood wearing the prosthetic for the film

[3:33 PM]

“Kiel stated the props were uncomfortable for him and he could only wear them for less than one minute before gagging.[1][3 “

That movie has my favorite summation of a villain in all the Bond movies...same gondola scene

(Dr. Goodhead) "Friend of yours?"

(Bond) "His name's Jaws - he kills people."

[12:43 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

So Trystan asked to use my phone to call his mom and he couldn't find her name in the contacts "Oh yeah...I have it under 'Fire-Headed Succubus'."

[12:43 PM] 

LOL

[2:17 PM] 

Star Trek paste.  Running an original series marathon today.  Didn't recognize an episode before I had to come up from break.

--

[1:42 PM]  Edward: 

I looked it up.  It was "Metamorphosis".

[1:43 PM] 

Thanks!

Ahhh...yes

Energy companion finally gets Zephram Cockhran with an animated dead body

(shudders)

(Exterior, Starship Enterprise - Kirk voiceover) 

"Captain's Log - Addendum:  Ewwwwwwww!  What a day!  When I signed up for this 'strange new life' mission thing...well...I never dreamed of cases like this freaky shit."

[1:54 PM]  Edward: 

Ha! Yeah, that was it--a companion for somebody.

[1:57 PM] 

Love the old episodes

Not sure how Kirk kept his job.

"Your society has been stable for 10,000 years.  Everything works.  But I don't like it, so we're gonna blow it up and leave.  I assume you'll be happier."

"Lets get outta here.  Warp factor 5.  Ohura, send a message to Starfleet that I'm putting this place on a class 4 quarantine to 'protect the society' so no one will come and ask any questions about what happened today."

[2:13 PM]  Edward: 

I like how he could always talk computers into blowing themselves up.

[2:14 PM] 

Hehe! Yes!
