542 - Seasoned Skies, Ras Al Fool, Loud-Mouthed Animals, and Not-That-Good Friday

[2:14 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
evil scientist plan
[2:15 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Daily Fail at it again
[2:16 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
high BP for everybody!
[2:17 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
I love to pour salt out of a salt shaker and watch it stay suspended in air in perpetuity
[2:19 PM] 
Table salt?  Nnnnnnnnno
Putting a high albedo dust up there has been talked about a good long time, but salt would be pretty useless at the job.
[2:21 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
it would just fall and kill crops
[2:23 PM] 
He also looked at the possibility of using aluminum oxide and sulfur dioxide which have been associated with causing lung diseases and acid rain.
"Salt rain is fine though."
How about plan ol' wheat flour?
Cornstarch!
"Bartholomew Cubbins and the Oobleck" is a sci-fi post apocalypse story!
[2:31 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
We shall send all the worlds paprika to the sky



[9:58 AM] 
Whoever thought Bale's "Batman voice" was good is a pinhead.
Apparently it was Bale himself.  hehe
Pinhead
"I went home that evening, and my wife said, 'How'd it go?' I went, 'I kind of did this.' And I showed her, and she went, 'Well, you f---ed that one up, didn't you?'
I won't blame Bale.  He took a risk. 
It was the people who decided to let him keep doing it. 
Sort of a pro-wrestler villain interview voice. 
[10:19 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I read that Keaton started the voice thing because he felt like he was still recognizable
but Bale took it further
[10:19 AM] 
"CUT!  Christian.  Why do you keep turning to look straight at the camera, pointing at it, and talking so slow?  And drop the posing and flexing please.  Slate!  Action! ... CUT!  Christian!  Who gave you a microphone? And there is no 'championship bout in April' in the script!"
[10:20 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"i don't see “OHHHHH YEEEEEE-YUH" anywhere in this script."
[10:21 AM] 
"The Bat Belt isn't supposed to be big gold slabs and you're supposed to be wearing it!  Costume!  Who gave Mr. Bale that thing?"
Keaton just talked in a lower register
Hell, Adam West didn't even change his Wayne mannerisms let alone his voice
[10:25 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
i think they messed with bale's voice in post production to make it more gravely
especially by his second turn as Batman in "The Dark Knight" (2008), in which the deep tones of "Batman Begins" were made even raspier (and sometimes extremely hard to understand) through post production tinkering.
[10:27 AM] 
Need to watch those three.  Only saw 1 1/2 of them.
I saw the first in the theater and found it OK but the ultimate "plot" and ending stupid and didn't/wouldn't work and was badly planned...I never saw it again.
I think my last straw might have been something to do with Ras Al Ghul forgetting he was on the train with no way off.
(me in theater) "Hey!  Stupid!  Yeah, you."
[10:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
the first one's plot is the poisoning the water supply and dispersing the poison with some kind of vaporizer
And the poison itself isn't even deadly, it just makes you hallucinate / panic.
It's a dumb idea but i recall it being done before, maybe one of the comics or at least the animated show
[10:33 AM] 
You aren't really proving your point about the downfall of mankind and their hurtling down the path to self destruction by drugging the lower and middle class types to panic.
[10:33 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[10:33 AM] 
(Ras Al Ghul) "See!  See the destruction!  What animals!"
(Batman) "Uh...99% of them are decent folk just trying to make their way and enjoy a little TV."
[10:34 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"WE sacked Rome, burned London to the ground.."
The league of shadows was inherently bourgeoisie
[10:38 AM] 
(Batman) "All y'all are just rich Republicans, aren't you?"
[10:38 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[10:40 AM] 
(Scarecrow dusts Ras Al Ghul) "Teeellllll Meeee yoooor FEEEER!!!"
(Al Ghul) "P...P...Poor people!  M-minorities!  Gov-vernment!  Audits!  Progressives! Losing my subsidies!  Civic Welfare! Raising the minimum wage! Unions!"
(Scarecrow takes off mask) "I think you're right, Batman." 
(Batman) "I wish I could blow up this piece of shit's monastery again..."



[2:21 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I was talking to Mr. Blue and remembered the Brahma chicken
[2:27 PM] 
Big bird
[2:28 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
yes looks like we have been using them for a long time
just fell off being the primary meat source - started eating more little chickens
[2:34 PM] 
The little ones didn't beat up people when you tried to eat them.
Foghorn Leghorn?  He was to scale.
[2:36 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[2:38 PM] 
I mean, I say I say I mean, looka that Daffy and Elmer... Now Foghorn - listen to me while I'm talkin to ya boy - I say Foghorn Leghorn is biggern the BOTH of em mashed together! 
(aside) ...nice co-workers but about as sharp as a bag of wet mice...
I love that character
They never seem to show the one with one of my favorite lines. 
The scrawny old maid clocks him with a rolling pin. 
Well, you're going about it (getting a husband) all wrong way, girlie. You don't bat 'em on the bean with a rolling pin. (Aside to audience) That comes later.”



[12:30 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Demigod apes
A term that was used in a show this morning
Sorry monkeys
Can you guess the culture on that ?
[12:42 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Chinese?
[12:44 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Indian
[12:48 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
oh
[12:54 PM] 
Indian and Chinese. Also anywhere else there are monkeys
Though in this case, Monkey King kind of blends between the mentioned two, as part of his fame is traveling with a holy man from China to India to get Buddhist scrolls
[1:02 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
ah
[1:04 PM] 
"These statues may actually represent howler monkeys in their quality of musicians"
Which tells you something about the quality of Mayan music.
[1:12 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh



[8:21 AM] 
I'd say happy Friday, but it's Good Friday
Good-For-Everyone-But-Jesus-Really Friday
[8:22 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
It was sarcastic
"Oh wow! Crucifixion? This kicks ass.  I love being crucified. It's good actually."
[8:24 AM] 
"Ask my followers...this is a “good friday”..."
(Does the quotes hand gestures from the ends of the cross beam)
[8:26 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[8:54 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I want to watch Holy Grail now
[8:58 AM] 
I might go for Life of Brian next.
After all...it's kind of an Easter movie. 
[8:58 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I've seen that more than Holy Grail
It seems to be on HBO a lot
could go for some Meaning of life that is on a lot also
so could watch “life of brian”, “holy grail”, then “meaning of life”
[9:11 AM] 
Run those Purgatory numbers way up this year for Easter
[9:11 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
[9:11 AM] 
Apparently the Pope decided to mention there's no Hell in time for the Christian Superbowl
Not that that isn't a logical theological conclusion to some of the sects...like –
"Well...Hell is there, sure. But the whole Resurrection, 'cast down the gates', free the tormented thing happened.  So...basically no souls are actually there at the moment."
"Thanks for the reprieve, Jesus"
Had a speaker on the topic at Catholic school once.  I'm sure the nuns and monsignor and etc. were glaring at the guy pretty hard from the back of the auditorium
[9:17 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Yeah
I mean they teach it as if you don't accept Jesus then you have to pay for your sins.
However the readings speak of there being no sins now because he took them away
Supposed to be one of those yes your sins are forgiven but please don't sin if you can help it.
I might get mad and take it away
Like the parent starting to count reaching the end and the child still misbehaving. So starts counting again
Til finally they get so pissed off they smack them
lol
I don't think we reached the smack phase with Jesus just yet
[9:23 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
People behave themselves better with the threat of (eternal) punishment
[9:24 AM] 
Invisible Princess experiment
I briefly considered just collecting the considered actual quotes of Jesus into what would be a rather slim volume and see what was actually said.
The much touted John 3:16..."Christianity in a Nutshell"...is not something Jesus actually said
There's PILES of New Testament stuff that is just fans talking
What if all that were excised?  What's left?
[9:27 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
That'd be an interesting read
[9:27 AM] 
No "illegal" quotes allowed and what do you get?
I mean, you see the crap that ends up on FB
There's parts of these texts that have been misquoted or taken out of context for 100s of years to serve the purposes of people.
Fine
Word of God?  God is Jesus?  Lets have the quotes.
Oh...and no post-ascension "The Lord came to me in a bright light and I decided I'm an apostle and this is what He told me" stuff either.
(glares... I'm lookin' at you, Paul, you fraud)
[9:46 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
lol
[10:14 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
[10:16 AM]
Our wrathful God has calmed down a lot since the fire and brimstone days.
[10:20 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Hell must be 90% children and babies
kind of a downer
[10:23 AM] 
And that's why they invented Limbo
