It is amazing how well we're doing, considering how fucked up everything is when you look closer. Personally, I am for radical agrarian reform.

I do not endorse either. We ought to be classier, people!

I reeeaaaallly don't understand the appeal of the poptart cat. Can someone explain it to me? I look at it and it seems entirely plausible that it has been cynically engineered to appeal to the internet, to prove some point about how predictable the internet is.

Battlestar Gallactica didn't feel like they were making it up as they went along. The whole thing somewhat loosely parallels the Bible.

Lost never felt like they knew what they were doing, tho. I saw a TED talk or something with a similar format with the Lost dude. He presented a box on the stage and said that he got that box when he was a kid and never opened it because he liked the mystery of the unknown box and thought this mystery was more important somehow than the content of the box. Essentially, the box had no substance other than its mystery. That is why Lost is shit. All that happens is for the mystery itself, mysteries that don't add up to anything are not very good mysteries. I am disappointed the dude didn't figure out a way to turn the mystery he was building into a MacGuffin and some sort of treatise on the format itself. Twin Peaks was better considered. It had a very solid, coherent arch and it didn't throw curve balls randomly just for the sake of curve balls. I don't think it is a fair comparison by any stretch. And then they solved the initial murder and forgot what the show was about for way too many episodes for anyone to justify.

That is definitely the case after they figured out who killed Laura Palmer, but not before. Hence my dream of editing the series down. A lot of that dribbling-in-place narrative nonsense is a side effect of not enough direction from Lynch after the murder is solved.

Nonsense. The story and the way it is told are inseparable. Lynch's stories generally sound moronic in a summary format, so that is an unenlightening exercise. Try it sometime. It may make your head asplode. I once overheard someone in the art studio summarize Eraserhead as While this is technically true, it evokes a Lifetime made-for-tv movie, rather than a Kafkaesque dystopian nightmarescape.

I have been toying with the idea of recutting the entirety of Twin Peaks down to a more relevant series. Maybe when I get rich and have nothing better to do. Needless to say, half of second season will be cut.

Aww, all the top Youtube search results show the horrible Belgrade performance from a couple of weeks ago, not cool. LzbOJsgCoh0 Poor Amy Winehouse.

Can't you just reset his coordinates to spawn?

Tekkon Kinkreet. Holy shit. Awesome. :tup:

So does that resolve to true or…

I keep meaning to play those, but they sit unplayed in my Steam folder...

What is a "brillo satire"?

I am having a really hard time parsing this sentence for meaning. The girl on the left ended up in the game, whereas the one on the right is the internet being obnoxious, right?

Interesting. I have no idea where I got this crazy idea that animation was summarily done at higher framerates than film. Maybe someone went ahead of me and was vandalizing Wikipedia as I read about these things or something...

Hahaha, fuck yeah!

Hasn't disney already been animating everything at 30 fps or something like that for ever? The Thief and the Cobbler was animated at 40 or more I seem to recall reading somewhere.

Interesting question. Could be a coincidence.

Jeez, killjoy.

I can't decide if that is a wee loop from some sort of –sploitation movie, or an actual thing from Japan you can mount on your wall. Maybe it is just a simple, run-o-the-mill talking robot that got a little overzealous and/or buggy.

Nothing is bigger than the thumbs.

Haha, man, welcome back. There has been and gone a podcast since way back when. Worth listening to if you're up for it. Glad the WTF page on hobolobo.net is such an all-around hit. I've had people reacting positively to every single aspect of it, now even the Idle T link I put in there has been gratified.

WOW. WOW WOWO WOWOWO WOWO OWO WO WWO. Fuck wow. Oh my wow. WHAT WHA TAWHT HWT HAH TAH WHWTAH HAWT? Wow.
