Anarchy / Will trade Google+ invite for Spotify invite

Honestly, I don't know if you still need a Google+ invite to get on that service (there are conflicting reports), but if you do, I will trade one or two for a Spotify invite.

I won't be your friend on Google+ though. :P

So no geeks saw Stupid Sexy Flanders?

Anyway, I saw it today, and yes, the Batman trailer is in front of it. But it seems to be a shorter version of the trailer that has been floating around.

Entertainment / Re: Clash of the Titans Plot Hole???
« on: July 15, 2011, 11:44:40 PM »
Yeah, that movie was full of plot holes.

1. If memory serves (yes I love Iron Chef) The Kraken wasn't really the monster from the Perseus myth. It was just a sea monster, Cetus.

2. Also, when the Stygian Witches find out what Perseus want's Medusa's head for, they say "A Titan against a Titan". Well...actually, Medusa is arguably a Titan because she was a descendant of Gaia, the original "Titan", but the Kraken/sea monster isn't a Titan. It's just a sea monster.

So there really is no "Clash of the Titans" hence that film should be destroyed, and it's name should be stricken from IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Entertainment / Re: Lord of the Rings Return of the King

LOL. I can just see the talk between Sauron and Frodo now.

Sauraon: The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers.

(Frodo pees his pants)

Sauron: Now... I been sayin' that shit for years, Frodo. And if you ever heard it, that meant your ass. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before I devoured his soul and made him a Wraith. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. See, now I'm thinking: maybe it means you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. One Ring here... he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. And I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Frodo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.

Frodo: Does this mean you're not gonna use the One Ring to cover all the world in a second Darkness?

Sauron: Yeah...no, i'm still gonna do that.

Frodo: THEN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DUDE!?

Sauron: ROTFLMAO beeeatch!

I am looking forward to seeing the Batman: The Dark Knight Rises trailer. Does anyone know if it was playing in front of the new Stupid Sexy Flanders?

Sorry to res a thread on life support, but I found out that I can still get the old Gizmodo layout by going to http://uk.gizmodo.com/

So now my nerd rage has lessened. :)

Wait... Is that what that is? A duck bill?

I did not know that.

I think it is the kind of quacker that a duck-billed Platypus has. Either way, it's mostly the "throw them over the roof of your vintage 1983 GMC G-Series van with its diagonal red stripe and red spoiler" that most people would be concerned about.

Nope, still nothing.

I'm pretty sure it's because you look like you could throw them over the roof of your vintage 1983 GMC G-Series van with its diagonal red stripe and red spoiler and then quack maniacally.

I'm just sayin'...

Anarchy / I hate the new Gizmodo/Gawker layout

I would have posted this at Giz, but I couldn't find out how to comment in their new crappy layout. Why can't these companies leave well enough alone. Why do they always have to funk shit up? The dual panes are annoying, and now all of my mouse gestures do weird things on the page.

Maybe it's just me.

We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us.
As long as he resists us, we never destroy him.
We make him one of ourselves before we kill him.
We make his brain perfect before we blow it out.
And then...
when there is nothing left but sorrow and love of Big Brother...
we shall lift you clean out of history.

I was looking for a place to comment on how horrible the new Gizmodo layout is (I couldn't even find the comment space), and I realized that I don't really have a place to voice my joys, frustrations, likes, dislikes, etc. If you're really lucky, i'll come and drop some culture on you mofos.
