They might be remembering the old opening titles, which are extremely slick; and not the actual running footage, which is indeed quite shoddy.Count Arioch the 28th wrote:I do like the art upgrade, although I don't know why anyone says the animation in the old one was better (if it was any worse, it'd be completely unwatchable).

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.
a few more from Tamil. spoiler NSFW
onga pathi ongakku pooluh obunnduh porra -- your grandma is going to your sister's dick.
onnudo chinna oobundhuh oddu kutthi mayaru romba perisa irrika - your tiny dick has quite a lot of large [EDITED] hairs.
That's just a few. I can think of somemore when my brain remembers more tamil.

I'll be more specific. I've been told by Gaelic speakers that the insults on the cracked.com article that are in Gaelic aren't actually proper Gaelic and don't actually mean anything at all.Prak_Anima wrote:Well, they are Irish....Count Arioch the 28th wrote:I've been told that the irish insults in that article are so grammatically incorrect to be incoherent.
In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.
Oh, well that doesn't really surprise me. The Cracked writers probably just did a search, and used google translate as necessary, and we all know how reliable that can be...
On another note, today's OotS was strangely satisfying. Perhaps it's because V got back to a type of joke prevalent in older stories, perhaps because it shows that there is, in fact, one intelligent member of the Linear Guild.

I'm watching "The Blind side." It's a decent movie. That isn't the part that makes this rock to me.
I'm watching this movie with my five-year-old daughter.
It's interesting to explain homelessness and the idea of people who have no family. She takes to the idea and seems to understand it at what it sounds like. I can't really expect her to get the emotional response of whatever sort. The TV has her transfixed, as usual. But slowly I see her understand understand the top molecular skein of the top peel of this onion.
She seems happy when she sees the good things happening to the family.

I have a horrible weakness for shows with that animation style. Apparently, my brain associates them with Batman and Teen Titans and registers it as something awesomer than it actually is.K wrote:So I watched Young Justice, a new Justice League spin-off.
It's kind of terrible, and yet I watched every episode.
Is the second [half of the first?] season of that out yet?

It really is. My friend and I were debating how much of the pre-juicing ape behaviour was realistic. I maintain that even
was perfectly reasonable ape behaviour. There are also some neat shout outs if you've any knowledge on the various studies of apes.
Oh, and I've officially dubbed the Orangutan "The Librarian." Alternatively, "Dr. Zaius."

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

It was just you, DSM. The trailers, or at least one or two of them, were amazing.
This one, in particular.

Actually, the apes with spears part was pretty awesome, in my opinion. But I've seen the full movie, where it was probably executed a lot better than in the trailer.

In the movie, it's super smart apes attacking a battalion of police from three directions (head on, from above, and from below), coming out of the fog, and some apes do in fact die. I imagine not more died (on screen) because it's a lot of apes, and only a few machine guns, iirc, so bullets are more spread out amongst some pretty tough targets.

Ignore the trailers, they're just trying to make it out to be SUMMER ACTION BLOCKBUSTER, and stay through the credits.DSMatticus wrote:That one does look a lot more believable. The clips I'd seen were playing up the violence part, making it look like a film about a violent, super-intelligent ape revolution, which is a stupid premise.
The 2 things I liked best about the movie was that it called out humanity on our total inability to have a cohesive method for recognizing non-human intelligences as equals, and it presented the idea that the Planet of the Apes was not of the ape's own making. They didn't take the planet so much as inherit it.

The first two panels of todays Sinfest accurately depict a meme of growing traction around here:
http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4008
http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4008
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."
I love how in Pokemon Leaf/Fire, the ghosts in Pokemon Tower will always use Curse very early on, so my captured ghost can hit them with an attack, then the opponent uses curse and loses half it's health, and then I can hit it again, and grind xp on pokemon of the same level because the AI is dumb.
