The General Thread

My internet went out Friday, just got it back up.
 
TFW a mouse scurries across your bare goddamn foot while you're on the CWCki forums smirking about the hoard.

RIP 2012-2014

Never be missed.*

*Except for Mauvman's one.
 
Looking through notes on Facebook, and found an unpublished list of facts I made all the way back in mid-2011.

me 3 years ago said:
  • Whiskey, along with all other alcoholic drinks, won't keep you warm: In fact, it actually keeps you cool. This is simply an excuse made by alcoholics so they could enjoy their hooch all year round. But the truth is that alcohol lowers your blood temperature, which would keep you cool in the summer (or anytime in [city where I live, hurr hurr]), but would not be that useful during winter.
  • Carrots contribute nothing to your eyes, and will not help you see in the dark: An old wive's tale said that if you eat enough carrots, your chances of going blind would be significantly reduced. Don't get me wrong, carrots are loaded with vitamins and all sorts of shit your body needs, but it won't help you keep from going blind. And, in the 1940's, a radio announcement was made that eating enough carrots would help you see in the dark, just like the U.S. military. This was simply a station testing on air. It was also used to promote good health in children.
  • Aliens might be out there: The proof against this was that arsenic was poisonous to all life forms. However, recently scientists have found life forms that are completely arsenic based. So what does this mean? Are they out there? Chances are, probably not. But it is fun to think about it.

Yeah, I got really bored and made a list of stupid shit again. Enjoy.

I forgot about what an interesting person I was when I was 17. I really need to buff up on my trivia.
 
I'm thinking of doing a Kaijuu movie marathon this weekend, just don't know which films to watch. My films are:

* Gojira
* Godzilla: King of the Monsters
* Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster
* Godzilla vs. Megalon
* Godzilla 2000
* Gamera, Super Monster (Hosted by Elvira)
* Gamera the Invincible (Not sure if this one works. It came in one of those cheap packs of 20 movies.)

See Godzilla: Final Wars if you haven't already. I love that movie.
 
It has not been a very good week for me. It started out great, but then my father had to open his mouth and spout some rather inane religious nonsense. His words insult the beliefs of all, and it is still so very surreal to know he said them. Let's just say it had to do with the disabled, science and the healing power of God.

Though on a brighter note, I did finally get around to seeing what all the hype was about Attack on Titan. I care not that I am late to the game, this anime/manga is something special.

I just watched Olympus has fallen. I enjoyed it, but my main gripe with it was that it was a carbon-copy of Die Hard. Some guy gets locked in a building, has to kill a bunch of terrorists, he's the only one who can communicate with people on the outside, military forces are being sent in even though the guy is telling them not to send them in because they'll get killed, the guy gets serious injuries but is totally fine in the next scene, ect. I also noticed that the part where Banning is talking to Dave in the hallway was incredibly similar to the scene where John McClane and Hans are talking by the elevator. Even the camera angles were similar. The whole thing was just really damn cliche, too.The acting was alright, but other than that, it was pretty meh. Bottom line, don't watch this movie. Go watch Die Hard instead.

I also find it funny how an incredibly similar movie was released only a few months later (White House Down), only this time it's about Magic Mike and not-Obama teaming up to kill terrorists or something like that.

Oh God, that horrible film. The plot was not only cliche, but relied on pretty much every single person in the film except for the protagonist and the bad guy being too retarded to be trusted with operating a customer service hotline, let alone security for the president or helping govern the United States. The Secret Service agents in the opening attack had a level of tactics that you normally see among 12-year-olds at airsoft games.

And the CGI was 90s vintage.

Yeah, even my little sister was calling them out for their horrible tactics.
 
Apparently the training for the Secret Service emphasizes that when two machine guns are covering the doorway with fire, the preferred tactic is to charge straight at it.
