Are you in a cartooning class right now at 10:43PM EST or are you just currently enrolled in one?

Because if it's the first one then pay attention to your teacher stop browsing the internet! and if it's the second one then that is pretty cool! Also the second one applies to the first one also.

>wear sombrero

Nice.

BUT then you can just remember that it also had Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell on it at the same time, and that one girl who looked like a young Rosie O'Donnel.

I just watched a handful of episodes from Season 1 of Home Movies, and I enjoyed all of them. Just as funny as I remember. Maybe the later seasons are better. I'm going to buy the box set.

Today is a good day I think for getting my Green Man costume in the mail!



IT IS THE COOLEST THING I OWN.

You say that like there's something that IS believable in those games.

'Cuz it's AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL THAAAAAT!

You should check out Frisky Dingo if you haven't already. The DVD's are cheap and it's like a spiritual successor to Sealab 2021 that actually has a tint of quality.

Now I see it.

EDIT: I'm still fascinated by it.

Is the mind##### that:
[spoiler]They can't possibly be where they're standing if it's a reflection in a mirror?[/spoiler]
Or something else I'm missing?

Love the first two. REALLY love the second in particular.

Season 1 is when it was all squiggle-vision, right? I remember staying up around middle-school era to watch it and Sealab and other stuff on Adult Swim, back when they actually a swimming pool theme and there was an announcer saying "ALL KIDS OUT OF THE POOL!"

Anyway, you do have to watch episode 2 of this season's CYE because it's really good. So, find that if you can. I think my favorite part of episode 3 was Michael Richards coming into the group meeting and going "A Seinfeld reunion show? That's a great idea!"

SMART ALEC: The True Memoirs of Alec Robbins

It's an on-going highly-fictionalized autobiography. The first two chapters are up, and I assure you they are hilarious and I am quite proud of them.

Yeah, looks fine. Good job.

Pirates XXX had better CGI than Doctor Who.

Sunday Night TV Roundup:

Mad Men: Great as always.
Entourage: The first truly fantastic episode in over three seasons... but it's the finale.
Dexter: Let's just say I'm so excited to have such a great season already set up in just two episodes.
Californication: I am enjoying this season.
Curb Your Enthusiasm: GRAAAAAAAAAAH AMAZING, THE CAST OF SEINFELD SHARING A SCREEN TOGETHER AGAIN IS LIKE AMAZING OVERLOAD

I can't even get angry at Sunday's being cluttered with shows because ALL of them are good.

Everyone knows that Juno has a cheeseburger phone even if they haven't seen the movie.

And everyone also knows that cheeseburger-shaped objects are hipster and indie and whoahmygod totally what the kids like these days and The Moldy Peaches are a really cool band or something maybe but they're only cool because they're obscure so we're going to talk about them but if a lot of people start listening to them then let's find some other unknown band to idolize merely because nobody else has ever heard of them!

Something might be wrong with me, because nobody else seems to love bad like I love bad.

Not necessarily, I had a blast watching Troll 2 in a large group the other day. EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE LECTURE HALL joined in for the "oh my goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooood" line

That's what I would call watching something ironically, like Reefer Madness or Santa's Slay or The Gingerdead Man. You know, crappy B-movies. There's actually not much difference between what I'm saying and that - there's a very fine line and I'm having trouble putting it into words.

Like... when I watch Shark Attack 3, I'm laughing because it's bad, and enjoying it because it's bad. When I watch Crank 2 or Gamer, I'm actually genuinely enjoying the movie even though I consciously know they're bad in the ways most people judge films... I'm not enjoying them BECAUSE they're bad.

I think the key difference is the passion that goes into them: if the team really cares about the movie or project or whatever, then I would never say I hate it. I give it the benefit of the doubt even if it's not my cup of tea. Stuff that's made clearly for the money and without much heart, like Transformers 2 or G.I. Joe... that stuff I can't stand. Things like Two and a Half Men and CSI also fall into this category. I'm sure some people involved in those things really believe they're making art, but not on enough of a level that I'd appreciate it.

Lost isn't great but I really feel like everyone involved loves making it and working on the show. Kevin Smith movies are pretty bad on the technical side of things in comparison to a lot of movies, but I know he puts a lot of heart into his dialogue and writing and characters and that's enough to carry me. I wouldn't love Crank 2 if I didn't truly believe that Nevaldine and Taylor were having the absolute best time of their lives writing and directing it.

After all this, and since it's an Roland Emmerich film, 2012 really falls more into the B-movie ironic-viewing category much like where I place The Day After Tomorrow. But I'm glad I got into this discussion because I feel I actually got some words out that I've been meaning to for a while.

To make up for reading all of that, here is a leaked Toy Story 3 trailer which will likely be taken down by the time anyone reads this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ8vGmAxuVQ

I WANT IT NOW

What are you, Geek Juno?

It was that hard for you to pick up a 50 pound object? WUSS.

My brother does Swagbucks or something similarly-named, at least. He gets a lot of free Microsoft Points from it.

>cornrows

It was VERY stupid-looking.

It looks VERY stupid.

Something might be wrong with me, because nobody else seems to love bad like I love bad.

ALSO.

Saw Zombieland, then walked right into The Invention of Lying.

Zombieland was GREAT. I was very impressed by it. It's still nowhere near Shaun of the Dead, but I've put that on such a high pedestal that I can't blame this movie at all. Very good and very funny.

Invention of Lying was a huge disappointment, but it still had some really great and creative parts. Halfway through it took a very strange turn... but I definitely enjoyed it. It's just... I was expecting too much out of it, I guess. Louis CK was great.

>For Christ's sake get a haircut.

hahaha

I've been mocking 2012 for a while now because I have a friend who's been obsessed with it since it was anounced, but I've always been a sucker for disaster movies (they've been a guilty pleasure since I was a little kid) and this looks like the mother-of-all-disaster-movies.

In that 5-minute clip they've already topped every single one ever made.

And don't get me wrong, this doesn't look like a good film - it looks like a fun film. I laughed my ass off during "The Day After Tomorrow" (come on, a disaster film about GLOBAL WARMING?) and this looks like it's even more ridiculous and entertaining. You can't tell me there wasn't some carnal enjoyment bubbling up in your tummies after watching that level of destruction... and John Cusack outrunning all of it in a limo.

Snorlax is AWESOME.

But Haunter is the best Pokemon.

If the PSP was completely useless and irreparable

It is.

This is giant salamander! He wants to say hello!

>Stop ripping off Lunche who's ripping off ASR but not really since it's been long enough between that one and this one so as to not really call it ripping off but anyway ASR was ripping off MSPaint Adventures

Fixed.

I have a problem!

Night.

Vision.

Goggles.

I am still very angry that each season of the revived Doctor Who costs so much damn money because I really do want them.

Also I really want to get the Home Movies complete series because I loooooooved that show but I haven't seen most of it.

Second one is gold.

I LOVED the SnakeMan mix on the Rockman Techno Arrange album.

That reminds me: at our comedy show, I interrupted a comedian buddy during his act Kanye-style. It got me more laughs than during my set (which was one of my best) so it kind of depressed me that people find that stuff so hilarious - but it was really fun to do.

I approve.

I thought Buffy was Whedon's answer to Doctor Who.

>drive business card to safety

There were a bunch of spin-offs planned after the reboot proved successful, all of them had titles that were anagrams of Doctor Who. I can't remember any of the other ones, and I'm pretty sure Torchwood was the only one that was made, anyway.

There's also that Sarah Jane Adventures one.

Neeeeeeeeeeeeerds!

I don't bother with any of the older stuff concerning Doctor Who. I just watch from the reboot and on. I considered watching the old stuff but it'd just be too much of a project.

Torchwood is about as cool a name as you can get from an anagram of Doctor Who.

I am jealous! I am! Goddamn!

Never heard of it. Wiki'd it, though.

>you're all alone, this is the perfect time to utilize that reading material

Wind sent me a link to the MM3 Opening/SnakeMan track.

I LOVED it.

Can't speak for the rest, though. I listened to the ShadowMan sample because ShadowMan is a favorite track of mine, and it was fine but didn't really impress me. The Opening/SnakeMan one left a real impression.

>drive business car to safety

Louis CK is KILLING on Parks and Recreation! He has single-handedly made this show great!

I'm almost done watching The Wire, 3 episodes into Season 5 with only 10 more left in the series. This is undoubtedly the closest any show has come to perfection.

>check your PG-Rated Samuel L. Jackson Wallet for clues

Where did "Sally" come from?

It's always been "SHE sells sea shells by the sea shore."

>punch a wall

Hi, welcome to the Nerds Argue About Mass Effect thread!

Still can't get into Torchwood.

It's fine.

I have a little urn with her ashes. So do my brother and sisters.

There's a piece of bone or something in there and it jangles around in there.

It's kind of weird.

Anyway, I don't know what to do with it, other than displaying it on my book shelf.

As long as you're not in a Ben Stiller comedy, the urn should be fine.

Really, though: condolences, my good man.
