French...
Chat...cat
Eau...water
Chateau...
[10:17
AM] Mr. Blue:
hmm
[10:18
AM]
“Country
House”, obviously
hehe
Gonna
start saying "Cat Water" though
[10:19
AM] Mr. Blue:
More
of a mansion or palace though.
Chateau
plural is apparently chateaux
[10:22
AM]
Well...
implies a very NICE house, yes.
My
house is officially named an "igloo". Heh
[10:31
AM] Mr. Blue:
Why's
that?
[10:32
AM]
fairly
small, white
"What
shall we name the house?"
"Name
the house?"
"Sure.
We name the cars."
"True."
"How
about The Igloo."
[10:32
AM] Mr. Blue:
La
petit blanc chateau
[10:33
AM]
Tres
bon!
[10:35
AM] Mr. Blue:
5TH
HSE ON L-WHITE BI-LEVEL W/BLACK SHT
[10:36
AM]
"Black
Sht all over that house."
[12:05
PM] Mr. Blue:
i
think this whole drinking straw thing is just a ploy by restaurant
conglomerates to save money by not providing straws and to claim it's
for the environment
[12:06
PM]
Not
so sure on that.
I've
been hearing they are an environmental hazard for like 20 years or
so.
Besides.
Someone like McDonalds probably has a half billion dollars worth of
them in stock. With everyone watching to make sure they don't
landfill them.
Pretty
expensive dump.
[12:16
PM] Mr. Blue:
I've
heard it's minimal but apparently not
And
plastic straws are high on the list of the most common objects
fouling the seas. They are routinely among the 10 most collected
items in beach cleanup programs, according to the Wildlife
Conservation Society.
[2:46
PM] Mr. Blue:
Several
people became nauseated after brakes failed on a pirate ship ride at
Kennywood Wednesday and crews were unable to stop it for 10 minutes.
The
ride swings like a pendulum from left to right and up and down.
Passengers were stuck swinging before workers could engage a
secondary braking system.
“Kennywood
ride operator accidentally discovers perpetual motion”
[2:53
PM] Mr. Brown.:
heh
I
don't think i would have gotten sick
A
spinning ride, yes
[2:53
PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah,
I never minded the pirate ship
I
would probably ride it a few times in a row if there were no lines
Apparently
they got rid of the old mill for some "Garfield's Nightmare"
BS and everyone hates it.
I
think part of Kennywood's appeal is its old school feel.
I'm
not sure why they'd wanna "update" the classics
It
can't compete with Cedar Point or Six Flags or whatever else... it
has to remain at least somewhat vintage
[3:05
PM] Mr. Brown.:
Yeah,
Garfield's
Been
through it a few times
The
original was scary to me
lol
[3:05
PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah
it was creepy
Why
would Garfield be having a 'nightmare'?
[3:06
PM] Mr. Brown.:
He
overate, then went to sleep
[3:06
PM]
It's
been Garfield since 2004. When were you last at Kennywood?
[3:06
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
probably haven't been there in 10 years
[3:06
PM]
There
ya go
And
yes, I'd prefer a proper dark ride
It's
not terrible or anything
Garish
as hell because it's all in blacklight and 3d glasses
[3:07
PM] Mr. Blue:
Garfield
seems like a weird choice
[3:07
PM]
He
was bigger back then
The
TV cartoon was a hit
The
strip had been for a while
It
might as well be a L'il Abner ride for these kids
[3:12
PM] Mr. Blue:
ahh
yeah
I
guess that would've coincided with the films too
If
i were them i'd make it the old mill again but less musty
[3:13
PM] Mr. Brown.:
I
think they wanted to add more for the kids or family
I
think there is less animatronics too
so
cheaper
[3:15
PM]
Believe me, nothing at Kennywood ever used anything as advanced as Animatronics
But if I were them, I'd be taking advantage of really superior advanced
technology...
Like
they installed in the Disney Haunted Mansion...back in the 70s...
heh
[3:16
PM] Mr. Blue:
yesss
[3:16
PM]
There's
so many good looking things that can be done with audio visual tricks
that just aren't that hard
[3:19
PM] Mr. Brown.:
Heck,
they used a projector and a white faced mannequin and put a talking
face on it
Looks
good
[3:21
PM]
yes
But
Disney also uses tricks that were cutting edge in the 1800s
The
ballroom dancing stuff is a sheet of glass and lights on figures
below the riders
[3:22
PM] Mr. Brown.:
[3:24
PM]
Right.
Meanwhile
– Haunted
Mansion
[3:25
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
like how they kept the actual mill
Garfield's
nightmare included an old time water wheel
[3:33
PM]
(Pitch)
"Okay...Okay...we keep Garfield, but picture this.
Smoke...flashing emergency lights and sirens. Jon - headless with
fountain of blood. Garfield has a flamer and is shooting gouts
of green fire at a xenomorph holding and shaking the head? Eh?
Don't say 'no' right away."
(co
presenter) "You know...for the kids!"
"Right!"
[3:41
PM] Mr. Blue:
They
should keep it as Garfield's on the outside... but on the inside make
it something else that would be terrifying
[3:41
PM] Mr. Brown.:
Or
you go inside Garfield, not his dreams
[3:42
PM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe
the first couple stops is Garfield related stuff
Then
it gets weirder and weirder
"Garfield's
LSD Bad Trip"
[3:43
PM]
It
already is Garfield's LSD Bad Trip
"Garfield's
Nightmare: Visits to the Vet"
[3:44
PM] Mr. Blue:
Garfield
contracts FeLV and has to be put down
[3:44
PM]
The
Spay/Neuter Room!
[3:44
PM] Mr. Blue:
Odie
goes rabid and attacks Jon and the vet!
[8:11
AM]
Morning
[8:11
AM] Mr. Blue:
morning
[8:12
AM]
Ended
up doing the pair of Live and Let Die and Man with the Golden Gun
[8:12
AM] Mr. Blue:
Both
decent
[8:13
AM]
Yes
They
are probably never beating the boat chase in the one.
Probably
never beating the simplicity of the villain in the other.
[8:14
AM] Mr. Blue:
Yes
Just
a guy that likes killing and has respect for Bond... And wants to
challenge him.
[8:15
AM]
Yes
Merely
enjoys his job and wants to play top-league duels
"Oh
and I have a base and all this power or something. Meh...I'm
rich. Just gonna sell it anyway.
Spotted the creepiest
bit from MwtGG I never noticed in all the viewings...which was a lot
because it was a fave.
(watching)
"Wait a second...oh geez."
(Mrs.
Silver) "What?"
"They're
in bed, right?"
"Yeah"
"Mirrored
ceiling, right?"
"Yeah"
"Knicknack
has a secret panel in the ceiling and was watching them from up
above, waiting for a good time to drop and attack."
"..."
"Meaning
he had a secret compartment and two-way mirror installed in the
ship's master bedroom so he could watch."
"Ewww..."
Also
notable, there's a stunt at the end I want to research because it
really looked like Moore and Ekland instead of doubles, and it looked
like it was about a 10th of a second from killing both of them.
As it was, they crashed to the floor and into furniture and it
probably hurt a lot.
[9:02
AM] Mr. Blue:
If
the redneck sheriff wasn't out of place, some of his lines definitely
were
Am
I remembering right that he called Asians "slopes"?
[9:10
AM]
Pointy
heads
Which
is interesting because in LaLD I don't think he used any racial slurs
or even say "black". Mostly he said 'boy', which in
... character ... is taken by basically anyone as an insult.
[9:12
AM] Mr. Blue:
Yes
[9:13
AM]
All
the southern law enforcement and related were remarkably cautious
through the whole thing. Only black villains and operatives
made comments against Bond, et al.
Rather
astonishing, really
As
a joke on Desmond Llewelyn, Sir Roger Moore wrote fake
dialogue for Q, and then gave it to the Script Girl to give to
Llewelyn after he had spent a whole month learning his lines, and was
about to come on-set.
Hmmm...
Mrs. Silver and I did note this other subject last night.
MwtGG might have been
the "girl furriest" Bond...
While
doing the title sequence (Golden Gun), Maurice Binder ran
into a problem with one of the nude models. Her pubic hair was
sticking up when they needed it flat. After a few minutes of her
trying, and failing to get it right, Binder smeared her pubic hair
with Vaseline. She gave Binder the brush and told him to fix the hair
to how he needed it. The whole thing was seen by Sir Roger
Moore and Harry Saltzman, causing Moore to turn to Saltzman
and quip, "If you're the producer of this film, you're not
getting the perks!"
[9:35
AM] Mr. Blue:
heh
[10:53 AM]
[10:53 AM]
Ah...here
it is...
Britt
Ekland admitted to being terrified when filming the scene where
she and Sir Roger Moore escape from Scaramanga's island. In
his autobiography, Moore pointed out one particular shot, right
before the second explosion goes off, when Ekland falls to the floor;
according to Ekland, that wasn't acting. Moore came back, picked her
up, and helped her go on. His arm was around her back as the second
explosion went off, and he felt the tiny hairs on her skin get
singed.
So
it really was them and could have been a lot worse
Glad
they left it in, because eeek!
"Great
acting! It really looks like they almost got blown up!"
[10:55
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
think i remember that
And
noticed that too
[10:55
AM]
"Acting...yes...that
was what it was."
[11:04
AM] Mr. Blue:
Was
this it? near the end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg5yklxfy8w
There's
a couple close ones
From
3:30 on
[11:07
AM]
Nod.
I was referring to the run after the catwalk collapse where they both
crash
And
yeah, the blast right before that was pretty close looking too
Sounds
from the description Moore gave that they actually clipped the first
time she fell and he went back...which would be why the pyro timing
was screwed up and they were so close.
must
have been right after the one right in front of them and right before
the run into the lounge
Augh!
