Thank the Maker!

Was it true Kasdan contributed the only memorable dialog between Indy and Marion in KOTCS?

I dunno, I can't remember...

;)

Marion Ravenwood: [Indy cuts Marion loose, and removes gag] I'm sure I wasn't the only person to go on with my life. There must have been plenty of women for you over the years.
Indiana Jones: Yeah. There were a few, but they all had the same problem.
Marion Ravenwood: Yeah? What's that?
Indiana Jones: [Indy cuts through roof] They weren't you, honey.

Haha, just watched KOTCS again for the first time since the first painful time I watched it. This time equipped with riff trax (yay!). Anyway, when that exchange graced the screen I couldn't help but roll my eyes. It was pretty terrible. Even with some fairly entertaining riffs playing over the audio, the whole thing was still hard to stomach.

When you say memorable, do you mean in a good way? Because I don't see it. That line was extremely cheesy. As a whole that movie actually turned out to be way worse than I remember it. There are a few KOTCS apologists around these parts, including Anchorhead, whose movie taste I usually agree with, so I think that made me give the movie the benefit of the doubt after having not seen it in all these years.

Almost makes me want to encourage Anchor to give the prequels a shot. All the things that made me hate KOTCS are the same things that made me hate the prequels. Makes me think if he gave them a shot, he might be far more forgiving than the majority of us.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I'd be tempted to put this in my sig if it would fit.

That is funny, that is EXACTLY what your mom said last night right after she took off my pants. Crazy!

He is never knowingly a Doctor, lot's of people are Doctors but just don't know it yet.

If he's a doctor, he probably knows it.  But it's not obvious to us.

EDIT: It's obvious to google.

Ooooh, he is an ENT.

Wow, no one is catching on that they are Roman numerals? Some Illuminati you all are!

Frink is absolutely right.

Interesting... I've had a Virtual Boy for years, and I honestly can't say how long the batteries last. I was just thinking that they always seemed to last forever in mine (like months), but then I realized I've never even dreamed of playing the Virtual Boy for anywhere close to an hour straight. In fact, twenty minute sessions at a time seem kind of long. So maybe I was just kind of slow to wear mine down.

I owned the thing as more of a fun piece of history than something I was really interested in playing. It was donated to some church yard sale and given a $5 price tag, I stumbled upon it and scarfed it up. This was about a year or two after the thing came out and failed miserably, at the time the things sold for about $25 used, so it was a steal. I remember at one point Toys R Us had elaborately stacked piles (think grocery store canned food ziggurats) of the things near the entrances of their stores with large clearance signs towering over them. Those stacks were there for months and months.

It is funny to think that something you couldn't give away at one point now sells for more used than they sold at retail, and far more than the clearance price Toys R Us was still unable to move them at.

Craig Charles managed to get his live back together after his false rape charge but it did put a dent in not just his career but the other members Red Dwarf team.

Have you been watching season 10? I hear it's a lot better than some of the other recent red dwarf stuff.

It is better, I miss Holly though.

Wow, didn't realize they made a ten. There was a time when I would have been really excited to see a season nine, by the time it did come along I had kind of outgrown my Red Dwarf phase, but I still tackled it with great interest and found it to be thoroughly unwatchable. If it is said to be a lot better than nine (wouldn't be hard), maybe I should check ten out.

I really enjoy people... singular, usually.

In general people in groups annoy me. 

I work with a fascinating group of humans. Individually I find them all interesting and likable. 

In a group they become repetitive, negative, complaining, and generally worth avoiding. 

I love chatting with coworkers at the coffee pot, dislike sitting down to eat lunch with them. 

I very much agree with this.

Waitaminute! So pat man 1 (not official name) is real? But pat man 2 and 3 were socks? If the second and third pat men were socks, how can we be sure the first one isn't a sock aswell? I mean, come on, what are that chances that two out of three pat men would turn out to be socks? I'm thinking there is something fishy about these pat men. Maybe they're all socks!

Maybe you're Pat Man 1!

Maybe I am!

Back in college, to maintain sanity through finals week, I developed a tradition of digging my old NES out of the closet and tackling either Metroid or The Legend of Zelda. Anytime I needed a distraction I'd play a little bit further in the game I selected for that semester's finals, then go back to studying. After my last final was complete I'd spend an hour or two finishing the remainder of the game.

I've started playing through the Zelda series from the very first game. I'm actually about to beat it.

Don't let the second game frighten you, it is really cool if you let yourself get into it and don't get stuck. I encourage you to resort to online player guides or, if you really must, gamegenie cheats, before putting it down and never touching it again like most younger Zelda fans seem to do. I feel it deserves a lot more than it generally gets, it is a fun experience that lets you a little deeper into the world of the original Zelda. Now you can visit villages and settlements for the first time and even interact with people, in a limited NES kind of way.
