That's what I'm here for.
No, seriously. I'm not calling 9/11 a cool thing, but even you have to admit that if the event had no personal significance for you, footage of a plain arcing into a building would be pretty fucking cool, yes?
See "Escape from New York":
OK, it doesn't actually show the plane hitting the building, just a simulation, but it does happen in the story, so John Carpenter was theoretically two decades ahead of his time.
I still can't get behind your theory, as that would require being a fan of "disaster movies" like Independance Day, and my take is that they're all crap.
I would agree. I snuck into The Core for a few minutes while waiting to sneak into the movie that I really wanted to see, and I laughed my ass off through the whole thing.
They were onto a good thing with the whole Volcano/Dante's Peak thing; you really can't go wrong with blowing 85% of your budget on pyroclastic flow. Alas, those times are over until they figure out a body suit that stuntmen can actually use to swim in real lava.

It's OK! I understand! I got a little choked up when I watch "The Stuff", I feel the whole Larry "choke 'em up" Cohen vibe.
Now don't worry about me, and go back to watching "Days of our Lives" and "One Life to Live".

Hate is good. But only in certain doces. If you're gonna be "pourin' on tha hatin'," as it were, I would suggest taking a jaunt through the Best of base, especially the GTA3 thread. This will show you the value of the well-crafted insult, the delicate phrasing which will entertain as well as annoy! For, really, insults must cut deeply in order for them to be worthy of response, which is hat is necessary on a message board. And also, the use of blinding wit and cynisism will make your posts, on the whole, increase their effectiveness!
More um, tit-fucking based content, if you could be ever so kind I would appreciate it
No, seriously, it's great. Like, really great. It's the sort of thing I might write, only a hundred thousand times better. Wow.
I really like Pinback's explanation of the "voice" being the main character's subconscience, or even better the voice to be the audience themselves, but I kind of had to scrap that idea what with the very literal and unmetaphorical deaths of characters halfway through the movie.
Half the reason why I'm posting this is so that "oppressed blind fuck" isn't shown as the last person to post in the movie base. Seriously, Bruce, badform. I'm sure that little zinger was highly amusing to you, I'm sure you tittered mightily while composing it, but the sad truth of the matter is that that joke is, in fact, anti-funny. If it were to come into contract with true humor, the resulting cataclismic reaction would obliterate the universe. And if oyu had *any* idea how many times I heard that, *daily*, you wouldn't be mustering up a post attempting to defend oyurself. 0/10

Shit, that's harsh, m'man.

Way to totally set a double standard there, you jackass.
Ah! AH! The one person on JC who hasn't been told yet! Christ, it's getting to the point where even the fucking gimmic posters know it already even though the only person I ever told was Robb and that just because I was relating it to his game. "GG!" as the hip kids say it. Can't a person have any sort of healthy amount of mysteriousness around his personage anymore?

I guess my experience with Dragon Dictate made me figure anyone who had to use such programs due to disability was shit out of luck. Though there was a pretty funny cerebal palsy diss on Caltrops. Wasn't it worse when everyone gave you shit for forgetting the enter key, and commas? So, is your keyboard brail? Oh, and how is dictation software? My brother had some after his accident and he just learned to type on his own with a sort of one finger thing. Do you have a special terminal?

I learned on a braille keyboard, but I'm so l33t now that I don't need one. I've just memorizd where all the keys are relative to the "standard" asdfjkl; finger placement.
Worm wrote:Oh, and how is dictation software?
Couldn't tell you. I've never used any. Because I have an instinctual distrust of those programs. I've never needed them, and I can't honestly see them working that well. And they only work for one person at a atime, there's this totorial thing they have you do where you read certain paragraphs into the microphone so that it will match your voice type--so even rednecks can use it! Hurrah~! Anyway, I think the very second post on my LJ has an amusing litle tidbit from what one of those programs copied down from a conversation three of us were havingfrom all away across the room. We forgot it was on. Holy shit, I just realized that that would be the best snooping device EVER. Just put up microphones on computers and turn the monitors off, no one will have any idea they are being transcribed. GENIUS!
Okay, so how the fuck do you "see"(HEH) what I type? That's what's really baffling me here.
That (HEH) was an afterthought. Just remember Bond, no one here ever wants to hurt feelings, if we do, call us on it, we become a tribe of blubbering maggots post haste in PMs. Aslo, why did you ever switch from Bond?

I troll the Game FAQs war on terrorism board. JC, CO and KnUClEs and Bruec included, is a breath of fresh spring air by comparison.

Because I came to terms with the fact that calling myself James Bond was not clever or amusing, but just annoying and stupid.

That's wrong on so many levels. 1.) Gamefaqs has a fucking war on terrorism board? 2.) You visit Gamefaqs?
