The Baron OTT

A friend of mine just started selling again, which is killer, except that I'm not smoking so I can get a job. If I could get away with it, I would, but I can't so I'm not going to bother.

From what I'm told, Canada is a lot more lenient when it comes to drug testing. I would love to move there, except for the whole coming of the whole next Ice Age and what not.
 
Morning all. Saw Watchmen last night. My thoughts ...

It was pretty damn good but could've used some serious editing. Three hours was a little too much. I'm not sure why they spent 15 minutes on Night Owl and Silk Spectre having sex and that scene where Night Owl can't get it up .. other than to throw in that joke at the end when Spectre asks if he has everything working "down there" and she's actually talking about the basement. Anyway, overall I give it an 8/10.

Also, since my cable/internet was out since Friday night, I decided to play some old school PS2 yesterday and got into RE4. Good stuff so far but I'm finding it very difficult. I had a hell of a time getting past the first village when the two swarms of zombie people and the chainsaw guy attack.

:whistle2:$ We're not supposed to talk about Watchmen anymore. Temp might get angry.

But I agree about the editing, though.
 
Yeah, I suck dick at RE4 and died like 3 times at the 1st village. Which sucks because I wanted to play it. :lol:
 
Watchmen was good, not great.

The change of the threat from Squid to Dr. Manhattan changed the entire fictional world, and not for the better.

[quote name='Rocko']For the sake of the movie that change was a good one.[/quote]

I'm with Rocko on this. It would have been far too big of a stretch for a movie audience to accept the graphic novel's version. The movie's version was logical, and the way they did it
hitting all the world's major cities instead of just New York
accomplished the same goal. It also
reinforced Manhattan's recognition of the significance of humanity. He realized that in becoming the "bad guy," he could help save the world.
 
Re: Watchmen

The change in Ozy's plan affected the entire fictional world too much.

The Doc didn't help with alternative energy/transport in the movie specifically due to him being the threat in the film. The fictional world wouldn't accept the Doc as a threat if he helped mankind by a bit. The film actually makes Doc seem like a selfish guy, who never cared about mankind at all, unlike the GN.

The film tried also tried too hard into making Ozy a real villian, instead of a 'heavy is the head that wears the crown' type.
 
You can't just translate the story verbatim or it wouldn't work as a movie.

I mean, yeah, there's discrepancies, but the changes suited the movie.

Almost everybody dies in the first village a couple of times they play through it. Most people are not expecting a certain someone to show up.
 
I think it's the controls and learning to use the laser sight effectively. They take a little to get used to, especially if you're used to the old RE controls.

But, you're ugly and discusting, it'd probably take you 4 hours to fold your pants.

Wow.

Yeah, but the good thing is that I only take one pair of pants with me. Too much work trying to change everyday.

The only thing that sucks about a french press is how easy it is to break the glass.

True.

Have you ever had a parent/grandparent refuse to talk to you?

Due to what? I don't talk to my mom's dad (not that I can since he doesn't speak English). He's a racist SOB.
