The Metal Maniac

I'd pay $30 to see that.

That wasn't really a parody, so much as it was "Hey! Remember this dancing banana? Yeah, it sure was funny, wasn't it?", much like half the show these days.

I haven't seen the promo in question (though I hopefully will tonight), but if he pronounced it the way it looks there, then he probably meant atrocity, which is something really, really bad. Like, "that match was an atrocity!" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah the problem was he pronounced it more like "Audacity" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Audacity is a word too. It's like, fearless, really bold - Like, "The audacity of that man!" But he meant atrocity, so it's a moot point.

It wasn't today, but someone once said this to me: "Led Zeppelin? What does he play?"

Plus Grevious actually appears to be a threat in the cartoons; he kills what, like 5 jedi?

I would find it *really* hard to believe that, with these words, what Lucas was intending to say was "Well, I used to have it written so that Mace overpowered him, but then I changed it so that Sidious was just messing with him." What he's most likely trying to say is "Originally, Mace winning, Sidious still fighting, and Anakin helping were always in the script, but I never added in Sidious trying to be weak until later on." Further, I agree that Sidious is making himself look less weak then he really is against Mace, once Mace has him dead-to-rights; but that doesn't mean that Mace didn't overpower him. It just means that Palpatine is smart enough to realize "Hey, if I really play this up, I can play on Anakin's sympathies and get him to turn."

Oh man, I *hate* the fact that they CGI'ed the Clonetroopers. I can understand why they did it with the droids (and really, it looks fine with the droids, because droids are supposed to look computery) but when you've got a single Clone trooper talking to someone, would it have been *that hard* to just build one friggin' Clonetrooper suit and stick someone in it? It just seems like an awful lot of work to go through for no real reason. I can't understand why they didn't just make like, 10 of the suits, get 10 guys who were the same height to be in them, and then just use digital effects to copy and paste them whereever they needed clonetroopers.

While I won't deny that the Emperor is a better character, George Lucas himself says that Mace overpowered him in the lightsaber fight. What more do you want? Also, a thought I had; do you people think that the special effects of the prequel trilogy will hold up as well as the special effects of the original trilogy? I was wondering about this the other day, because honestly, I think the special effects in the original trilogy are perfectly fine, minus a few slight problems. However, I was thinking that with the way computers advance these days, and the fact that 50% of RotS just *looks* computery, is it not possible that those special effects will be seen in a worse light by future generations? Like, is it not possible that they could come up with a new way of doing things that would make RotS look cheesy in comparison?

When you consider the amount of nutrients in potatoes, plus the field space and time you need to grow them, they're actually like, the best bang for your buck. This is why the Irish people ate so many potatoes - simple and easy. This is also why the potato famine killed like, everyone.

Me and my friend tried the demo that came on the Revenge of the Sith DVD. I was unaware Grevious was in the game until I saw him charging straight at my buddy, sabers drawn. I must own this game.

If you're gonna poke holes in the Matrix movies, it begins and ends with this: Humans BLOCKED OUT the sun. The lack of sunlight would have killed every single plant on earth, which would have lead to the death of everything, as there wouldn't be any plants to convert CO2 into oxygen. Besides, they didn't feed the humans crops; they fed them ground-up remains of other humans, and they say this in the first movie. Also, it's arguable that one of the reasons aliens attack Earth is not just to get our resources, but to wipe us out so that we'll never start travelling to other planets for resources, becoming direct competition for aliens. Like, maybe they figure that we're close enough to interstellar travel to be a threat, so they'll kill us before we can get off the planet.

Why do you really need to promote potatoes if they're already more popular then every other vegtable?

Um, did your friend not realize that every single Jedi in the galaxy not named Yoda or Obi-Wan had to be dead by the end of this movie, or something?

But they also said that it was always intended for Mace to overpower Palpatine, and that they only added in the faking part later. So Mace was better with a saber, but Palpatine had a back-up plan; that's how I see it.

Never, in all my life, has anyone ever told me "If you get lost in the woods, look for a barbed-wire fence, and follow it". I mean, I've heard about following rivers downstream or whatever, using tree moss to find north, hug a tree, etc. Never has anyone ever hinted at "find a barbed wire fence and follow it". I mean, if there's barbed wire fences around in the first place, you can't be THAT lost anyway.

That's basically exactly what I do. if someone pisses me off, I'm mysteriously busy every single time they need me to do something from then on.

Three simple words: Get the manager. In my experience, managers hate to be bothered, and will do whatever the customer wants, just to get them outta there quickly and quietly.

As a fan of both that song (yes, I like the Weird Al version, but not as much as the original) and the show...that wasn't very funny.

What did one tampon say to the other? Nothing; they're both stuck-up cunts.

How do you start a black pride parade? Roll a quarter down the street.

This one time, I got so drunk that I totally blacked out; I can remember being in the bar drinking, and being outside the bar asking why we left the bar, but NOTHING inbetween. Like, I didn't even know what had happened until my friends explained it to me about 15 times on the ride home. Anyway, it turns out that I hit on some chick and got her to dance. Fine, right? Wrong. Her boyfriend, who was apparantly twice my size, came back from wherever it was he was at. He then proceeded to ask me what, exactly, I was doing with his girlfriend. I, in my drunken wisom, came up with this jem: "If she's your girlfriend, what's she doing with me?" As you might imagine, that did not go over well. One of my buddies jumped between us, which kept us from actually fighting over it, and then we all left very shortly. Oh, and this other time me and two buddys were at a pub, drinking some beer whilst we waited for food. Apparantly, some guy at the table across from us made some comments about me; I was so damned drunk that I didn't really care, but one of my buddies took exception to this and threw a handful of peanuts in his face. He came over swinging at the guy who threw the peanuts, while my other buddy jumped up and started laying into him. As you might expect, we got kicked out again. But the funny part (as far as I'm concerned) is that the guy who jumped up and the dude I didn't know were the ones who actually got kicked out. When that happened, my other buddy came walked over to me and said "Okay, Tony just got kicked out, and so did that other guy. They're probably in a fight outside right now. Finish your beer; we're leaving without paying". Hey, I thought it was funny.

Yeah, but you gotta consider the legal side of it. ROMS are technically illegal to have in the first place, so anyone who wanted to make something that was specifically just for these would have a lot of copyright issues.

I know you can somehow get Nintendo and SNES roms on PSP's, but that's it.
