Hey! You can't take all the credit, I helped!

 It's true.  You held the assault rifle to hold back the zombie horde whilst I built Stonehenge.  I guess that makes you "Associate to the Producer" or something.

I know I'm about 2 years behind the curve here- but I just finished COD4 and wow, that was a good game!  I had heard about how great the "atomic bomb"  part of the game was, but still I was unprepared for how that impacted me.  Also the finale was intense.

But the best part: one less game on my pile of shame.  And before L4D2 has arrived too!  So, I'm ahead for a couple days.

We'll like it!  Honest!

*snicker*

4) Who built Stonehenge?

I did.

No.  Do what you have to do right now (go home sick) and see it.  I also hold it as the best Bond film.  Though these high opinions being thrown around in here might be setting your expectations too high.

It was directed by Martin Campbell (Mask of Zorro, Casino Royale) and as far as I'm concerned- he should direct every Bond movie.  Because if GoldenEye isn't my favourite- then it's Casion Royale.

Quantum of Solace- I've been hoping for good news about the 3rd Craig Bond movie since my thoughts after seeing QoS were: If the 3rd movie is really good, then we'll have a decent Quantum Trilogy on our hands.  If it's not, then I never need to see QoS again.  But I think QoS was made of a different quality stuff and you can see this when Bond and M's duplicitous assistant fight each other, upside down, while swinging from chandelier ropes, above scaffolding, reaching for their guns.  This was a little ridiculous.

FanFiltration:

An edit of the two into one better film?

While I'm at it-

Someday, when I have a lot of time on my hands... Will attempt a Casino Royale/Quantum of Solace edit, but not along the lines you are thinking.  CR is such a great movie, but so terrible a Sony prodcut placement fiesta.  So first item of business is to De-Sonyize the movie.  Next: CR is a little long and QoS is a little short.  QoS also starts right in the middle of a scene- I would be curious to see how much better the ending of CR works as the beginning of QoS.

Or unliving, as the case may be!

Q: What's brown and sticky?

A: A stick!

Same here, almost exactly.

I really only realized the flaws in the PT/SE after you guys tore them up for me every day. ;-)

 Glad we could help you out there.  Did you take the info we gave you and convince your wife?  Or did she already know how much they sucked?

It's funny- it sounds like all of us gave the prequels every chance.  Even though I was pretty sour about TPM and AotC going into RotS... I still hoped deep in my heart that RotS would somehow make the other two make sense.

At the very least, I was curious how the whole Sifo Dias thing was going to shake out.  They didn't even take care of that!

I pray for more Jar Jar in RotJ every night.

I'm fixin' to think about pirating it.  Can I do that?

This has probably been covered before... but here-a-goes again (unless Moth3r merges it.)

1. Phantom Menace.  I worked at Barnes & Noble at the time so I got a chance to read the Terry Brooks novel a couple of weeks before the book was released and a solid month or two before the movie came out.  I think the promo material had me quite concerned (the title being revealed in fall of '98, I think was the first real danger sign I picked up on...) but the book convinced me of it.  I remember telling all of my friends at the time that the movie would suck.  They would just stare at me as if I had said that I believed the world was flat or that we actually landed on the moon in 1969.  I didn't end up seeing the movie for 2 years (long story!) and I didn't personally talk to anyone who had seen the movie for 5 months after it had come out.  I told those people (that had seen the movie) that it sucked and some of them agreed with me.  When I finally saw the movie, it amazed me that Jar Jar was not, as I had believed for 2+ years, the worst part of the movie.  I couldn't believe my eyes- I couldn't believe that Anakin took that cake with Yoda a close second.

2. Attack of the Clones. I saw this movie opening weekend with my wife.  I had read a one page summary six months prior which claimed to be real, but was too absurd, too stupid, and too *blech* to be the real thing.  It, unfortunately, was spot on- Dexter's Diner and Peggle the Lesser et al.  I can't remember one specific scene that told me that this movie was a stinker... I wanted it to be good and I had high hopes, if low expectations, going in.  The whole theatre laughed when Yoda drew his lightsabre.  I thought they were laughing for the same reason I was- the absurdity and wrongness of the scene.  Apparently, some of them told me later, they were laughing because they thought it was awesome.  My brother told me he thought AotC redeemed Phantom Menace.  Six months later, he refused to call it Star Wars and just called it Phantom Menace II.

3. Revenge of the Sith.  All of my hopes for a decent Star Wars prequel were then thrust onto the unwilling and uncapable shoulders of RotS.  The first 2 minutes were great!  Space battles!  Dogfighting!  And just when it looked like it was getting good-  Out come the cute Mickey Mouse droids which start dancing on Anakin's wing.  This went on for the next couple minutes.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing!  Surely I was asleep at home having midnight-pizza fed nightmares of Star Wars' last hope!  Then they landed in the hanger and I thought the rest of the movie could be good from then on.  Then R2 pulls a gun on the Super Battle Stooges (*Nyuck Nyuck*) and I rolled my eyes.  Maybe the movie could be good from there on out.  THEN the CG Chris Lee started morphing around the screen.  I gave up hope.  But then, near the middle of the film, I could feel the tension and strife in Anakin growing.  I thought: This could be GOOD!  Anakin was in Palpatines office trying to decide if he would side with him or with the Jedi.  I thought: FINALLY!  Here comes the fall of Anakin Skywalker!  I sat on the edge of my seat:
Palp: Join the Dark Side!
Ani: No!
Palp: Please?
Ani: Alright. (defeated) I will do what you say!
I was defeated.  Maybe the final lightsabre duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan will be good, I consoled myself.  And, of course, it was too over the top to connect emotionally.

So, that's when I knew each prequel sucked.  Except for Ewan MacGregor who was excellent.

But is it unethical?

You must unlearn what you have learned.

This is xhonzi.

Back to your original question (feat. TV's Frink),
xhonzi says that posting for some
maybe is like a really bad RAP SONG!

xhonzi- OUT!

What does a search for Purple Monkey Jumprope turn up?

And Purple Monkey Dishwasher.

Okay, you know the rules, put the events in order and then guess the post count each event starts at.  First place gets one of Cookie MOnster's cookies.

Non sales, unfortunately, are sometimes racked-up as "disinterest" as opposed to "want something better/different".  Kind of sad that they used the lack of sales of the GOUT to claim that no one would buy the O-OT in any form.

So... it didn't come up?

They don't count unless they are in bold or italics or underline or "quotes."  Sheesh.

 I'm bookmarking this post so I can cut and paste your excellent tautology of the different font styles.

Great.  Next time I search for purple monkey dishwasher, I'm going to have to relive that post.

How about the recipes from the Star Wars cookbooks?

1. Wookie Cookie
2. Yoda Soda
3. Hanburger
4. Greedo Burrito
5. Boba Fettucine
6. Darth Malt
7. Jabba Jiggle
8. Panaka Cakes
