Watchmen [chat]




The world will look up and shout, "Save us!"
And I'll whisper, "No."

Not enough people remember the benefits of martial law. Everyone always focused upon the bad stuff.

It's like Hitler. He gave us highways. But nobody wants to talk about his contributions to the transportation of goods via interstate transport.

I think your argument would be better served using Stalin as your example rather than Hitler. Stalin initiated Russia's industrial revolution basically over night, but all he is remembered for is his oppressive dictatorial rule.

And his wonderful doughnuts.

why haven't you been on WoW? You've been missing out on a lot of WG losses.

Christina said...

Oh man, I really want to see Watchmen. Judging from the preview you have posted here, they may not have messed it up. I hope that's the case and I may even pay to go see it in theaters.

So, this evening my car was towed. At the moment I find this development to be hilarious. In the future, however, it may end up being far more hilarious than it presently is.

This is what I get for being sociable. When I sit in my apartment? My car is not towed. When I go hang out with friend? My car is towed.

The best part is when i called the towing company the directions offered were, "Do you know where ABC Liquor is? It's 8 blocks north of there."

Liquor: Serving as a navigational impliment since...ever

That's awesome/shitty! I've not been playing WoW because the PBA was in town, and that keeps me busy/sociable. The PBA is no longer here so I will probably log in soon enough.

On a side note, not playing WoW for a week really didn't affect me all that much, which doesn't bode well for WoW.

.. I.. er. well.. Watchmen.

going to see it? Yes. Dreading? YES.

I don't know what, I've tried to avoid spoilers.. but I do know the Alien Death Vag Squid has been removed.. and.. well..

I have The Fear (tm).

the best part about Watchmen movie, it cannot disappoint. if it is shitty, no one will be surprised.

which means, anything above shitty is a win. We have our tickets for a 9pm show on friday. Additionally, it will not be half as good as Crank 2.

Also, Jenna Fischer is on this week's The Sound of Young America.

Damn Psychic Squids.

Mike Lewis said...

Hey! Its no Cussing Week!

Fuck yeah!
no seriously - what the fuck is wrong with this kid

So, I have to give a presentation tomorrow. Currently my presentation is 5 single space pages and contains 41 footnote citations.

Because footnotes rule and quotes are awesome.

Epic YAD today.

_J_ said...

The head of the graduate department sits in on the class in which I gave a presentation today. After class he came up to me and said, "I learned a lot from your paper."

I'm not a failure.

_J_ said...

That truly was an epic YAD.

Man, I miss reading YAD. Maybe that's what has been wrong with me this semester.

Unknown said...

Way to not be a failure... unless that guy says that thing to everyone who has a presentation as a form of confidence boost, then you could still possibly be a failure.

_J_ said...

Actually this guy is normally down on Master's Students in order to quash their spirit.

Roscoe said...

What does that do to your whole "I think I hate it here" thing?

reinforce? diminish?

_J_ said...

It dulls the edge.

Roscoe said...

... still unclear, J.

Because.. when you're involved... oftentimes, a dull edge is a BAD thing, and needs fixed ASAP

or is this a Vodka and Cran-punch dulls the edge moment?

FWI: Rock Band 2 has added a ton of Stevie Ray Vaughan songs. Not covers....

Caleb said...

"There's no anti-Semitism. I love Jesus Christ and he was a Jew."

The only Jew you can think to give example of loving is the Jew that you love because he was crucified?

"No no, Jesus was the best Jew there ever was."

So the best thing a Jew could ever do is be murdered by an indifferent occupying imperialist power?

Maddow was on Leno

Fine. Great. But she was apparently on the same night as BOB NEWHART!!!! And if you scroll forward in the clip you can listen to Bob Newhart be FUCKING AWESOME as only Bob Newhart can be.

Roscoe said...

man, the Kosher Salt YAD was brilliant.. and just. kept. going.

Scott Pilgrim volume 5 arrived today.

It makes me sad.

Roscoe said...

Watched Watchmen in IMAX last night.


It made me sad. Then the people around me made me sad.

I had gone in hoping only that the Kid Rock Warrior song would have been the sadness. I was wrong.

It turns out I can only hear someone say " So this blue guy, he's.. like God... and he's screwing Wonder Woman.. but he's sharing her with Batman.. though she doesn't have her lasso".... about once. Then everything goes fuzzy and it's an hour later, I'm on the road, driving, and my teeth hurt. I think I ground them into a perfectly flat, shiny supermolar.

_J_ said...

" So this blue guy, he's.. like God... and he's screwing Wonder Woman.. but he's sharing her with Batman.. though she doesn't have her lasso"....

Yes.

Yes.

A thousand times yes.

You have earned your gut-shivin' this day, J.

You have earned it.
