I think that would be worse, to hear everyone spontaneously break into conversations about other things. <br><b>DethKlaw</b>: It was a shot of people walking along a street, half of the people were real, the other half animated. <br> <b>DethKlaw</b>: Once you got over the initial "Oh, cool" the film became quite boring. <br><b>DethKlaw</b>: It was 15 minutes of a three-minute film. </FONT><font color="#808080"><br><b>MisterQ</b>: that film would have been cool if the animated people started fighting with the real people </FONT><font color="#008080"><br> <b>zompist</b>:: and ripping out their spines! yeah! </FONT><font color="#808080"><br> <b>MisterQ</b>: And making the real people into animated people </FONT><font color="#008080"><br> <b>zompist</b>:: heh... did you ever see <I>cool world</I>? <br><b>zompist</b>:: any movie that has to assure you in its title that it's cool is dead wrong. </FONT><font color="#808080"><br> <b>MisterQ</b>: (yes I saw <I>cool world</I>) The real people tried to resist with guns and stuff, but it was no match for anvils and sticks of dynamite </FONT><font color="#ff00ff"><br><b>maime</b>: I had a friend obsessed with that movie. <br> <b>maime</b>: wandered around for weeks mumbling about cartoon chicks. </FONT><font color="#808080"><br> <b>MisterQ</b>: Its soundtrack was the best thing about it </FONT><font color="#ff00ff"><br><b>maime</b>: It had "sex on wheels" </FONT><font color="#808080"><br><b>MisterQ</b>: and what's wrong with cartoon chicks? </FONT><font color="#ff00ff"><br> <b>maime</b>: Nothing but i hate them. </FONT><font color="#0000ff"><br> <b>DethKlaw</b>: Even LadyJ? </FONT><font color="#ff00ff"><br> <b>maime</b>: never watched that cartoon. </FONT><FONT ><br> *** DethKlaw is now known as Wabewalkr </FONT><font color="#808080"><br><b>MisterQ</b>: What have they ever done to you? </FONT><font color="#ff00ff"><br> <b>maime</b>: They have ruined it for me with guys who went around for weeks mumbling about cartoon chicks. </FONT><font color="#0000ff"><br><b>Wabewalkr</b>: You don't want to date guys like that. </FONT><font color="#ff00ff"><br> <b>maime</b>: I know that now. <br> <b>maime</b>: But I still have the grudge for cartoon chicks. </FONT><font color="#0000ff"><br> <b>Wabewalkr</b>: They expect all women to look like Dolly Parton in zero gravity. </FONT><font color="#008080"><br> <b>zompist</b>:: it's not good to be making love and know that the guy's comparing you to the</FONT><FONT > </FONT><font color="#008080">cartoon chicks he's had. </FONT><font color="#808080"><br> <b>MisterQ</b>: hehehe </FONT><font color="#ff00ff"><br><b>maime</b>: Ummm If someone thinks he's <B>had </B>a cartoon chick he's got more problems than even I could ignore. </FONT><font color="#008080"><br><b>zompist</b>:: [re Dolly Parton] jeez, that's a scary image. prehensile breasts. </FONT><font color="#0000ff"><br><b>Wabewalkr</b>: As bad as a prehensile vagina? </FONT><font color="#808080"><br> <b>MisterQ</b>: See <I>Species</I> and let's have no more talk on prehensile breasts <br><b>MisterQ</b>: Well, I think it would be fun to play act and have the girl dress up like Daphne from Scooby Doo. </FONT><font color="#008080"><br> <b>zompist</b>:: not thelma? </FONT><font color="#808080"><br> <b>MisterQ</b>: sure, why not </FONT><font color="#0000ff"><br> <b>Wabewalkr</b>: There are three types of men in the world: those that like Daphne, those that like Velma, and those that like Freddie. </FONT><font color="#808080"><br> <b>MisterQ</b>: 4: those that like Scooby </FONT><font color="#ff00ff"><br> <b>maime</b>: I'd probably be more the thelma type... after all I'd lose my glasses and be blind in the dark. </FONT><font color="#0000ff"><br> <b>Wabewalkr</b>: And touch the foot of the monster? </FONT><font color="#ff00ff"><br> <b>maime</b>: Of course.

But I do agree with the "Forgive Vader?!?" point </FONT><font color="#008080"><br><b>zompist</b>:: re vader: yeah, that's true. <br> <b>zompist</b>:: it's just that a world with democratically apportioned heroes and magic is probably not a world that makes for good fantasy. </FONT><font color="#0000ff"><br> <b>Wabewalkr</b>: I really found the movie... annoying. It stopped at the back of the eyes. None of the characters were worthwhile... </FONT><font color="#008080"><br><b>zompist</b>:: i can see all the holes, but i enjoyed myself. </FONT><font color="#0000ff"><br><b>Wabewalkr</b>: I toggle between the two. <br> <b>Wabewalkr</b>: But I tend to lean towards the nobody-who-claws-his-way-to-the-top mentality. </FONT><font color="#008080"><br> <b>zompist</b>:: sorry, which side is that? :) </FONT><font color="#0000ff"><br> <b>Wabewalkr</b>: <I>Star Trek </I><br> <b>Wabewalkr</b>: Geeks == Heroes. <br> <b>Wabewalkr</b>: Brains >= Birth. </FONT><font color="#008080"><br> <b>zompist</b>:: actually, that bugged me about brin's review... i have a low <I>star trek</I> tolerance. </FONT><font color="#808000"><br> <b>Mr_Ben</b>: I have no <I>Star Trek </I>tolerance. </FONT><font color="#008080"><br> <b>zompist</b>:: maybe it's his way of talking about real sf to a non-sf audience. </FONT><font color="#0000ff"><br> <b>Wabewalkr</b>: I have a low <I>Star Wars </I>tolerance, so we're balanced there. <br> <b>Wabewalkr</b>: I prefer more science in my SF... so I lean towards Crighton. </FONT><font color="#800080"><br> <b>sol-D</b>: mmm...science fiction... </FONT><font color="#008080"><br> <b>zompist</b>:: ah, star wars hardly qualifies as science fiction. </FONT><font color="#0000ff"><br> <b>Wabewalkr</b>: But then, I also like Dr. Who, so who am I to judge? Dr. Who was born a noble, but left because he disagreed with their politics. <br><b>Wabewalkr</b>: I also read Asprin, but in the same way I read trashy romance novels or eat chocolate-- with a guilty sense of pleasure. </FONT><font color="#ff0000"><br> <b>Da_Raven</b>: Heh. </FONT><font color="#0000ff"><br><b>Wabewalkr</b>: Dr. Who's strongest point was a sense of scale-- he didn't always save the universe, sometimes he just saved a village. </FONT><font color="#008080"><br><b>zompist</b>:: i think very little of my favorite sf would translate well to the screen. <br><b>zompist</b>:: case in point: <I>the demolished man</I>. not at all easy to film espers. :) </FONT> <p><a href="andalou.htm#aftersw">[ Back ]</a> <hr> <a href="default.html"><img src="home.gif" alt="Home page"></a> </BODY> </HTML>
