I just enjoy visualizing the other guy from Bill and Ted every time I see Keanu Reeves. Really, it's the only way to get through the Matrix sequels with my sanity intact. Come to think of it, I'd be sincerely shocked if someone hasn't cut together a so wacky youtube bit like that.

Extremely old school, but I certainly hope I'm not the only person who is familiar with an enjoys Auntie Mame.

dear jesus

I forgot 'Clue'. The best game-to-movie adaptation of all time.

Certainly the best Martin Mull film of all time.

So good in fact that his performance is uncannily like watching Tim Curry.

Also, Clue is a good example of "multiple endings determined by user input (which theater you go to) don't somehow arbitrarily exclude a film from being art."

Well, provided you consider Clue to be art.

Sorry, I'm still cranky with Ebert.

I'll just drop UHF in here and then quietly go to Movie Hell where I belong.

Sorry, I'm still cranky with Ebert.

Ebert is an old man, he is a busy man, and he loves art. If he admitted games were art he'd be forced to pay attention to them, which would be difficult because he is old and busy. I do believe the Internet cared a little too much about this one man's psychological defense mechanism, as irresponsibly broad as it is.

That is far too smart an explanation. Especially when I have this ironic death machine all worked out (hint, it involves Clue.) Or maybe just "a" clue? You're the one who'll have to figure that part out, Ebert. Ponder your errors as the scything blades descend inexorably down, biting ever closer to your ample bosom...

Er, yeah. Or what you said. Don't kill him or whatever. Party pooper.

Oh no! Ebert interacting with the workings of my elaborate, multilayered, Rube-Goldberg/Batman-villain-esque death machine has somehow arbitrarily disqualified it from being high art! What a completely unanti


pated turn of events! Jeez, does that mean Rocky Horror isn't art, either? It's participatory, you condescending... right, where is Ebert? I have no idea how he got through the lake full of facehggers and acid injected sharks. Unless the acid killed the sharks, which would just be retarded. The facehuggers didn't seem to mind and... oh, fuck you. This stuff is hard. How did he get by the facehuggers? Fuck you, that's how. Eat all the dicks.
Motherfuckers all capitalizing on my hate machine. I'll just recapture Ebert and... hey, fuck you with the camera. There's no way this is going to stick to me. Just because I'm being frogmarched into a courthouse with one of those Lecter things on my face. Though it does make my voice sound sort of menacingly muffled... Aw, fuck. Now I'm Bane. I was going for Jigsaw. Mumble mutter. Etc.

I wonder how many real-life killers have internal dialogue that actually sounds like that.

The dog told me to do it. Also, I'm a cartoon rabbit, and the dog just carries more of an air of competence and authority in comparison, though he's also probably equally incompetent. Probably on account of the trench coat. People just want to believe anything said by a dog in a trench coat.

I'll be over here setting fire to things or eating something inedible, and we'll pretend that it's zany.

But really, I'm making plans. That should scare you.

Just... seriously scare great big bunches of you-know-what right out of whatever is the ugliest end of you. Around here? Flip a coin. Y'all some ugly motherfuckers.

Also, seconding UHF.

Oh great. The facehuggers impregnated the acid sharks. And now we've got shark aliens.

hose idea was that?

...



FUCK YOU

... yes, I planned that, but we just already had the shark and facehugger tank ready and I figured "what the hell, might as well use it." How was I to know they'd instantly start facefucking each other like that?

Well, yes, I'm sure they were bored. What does that have to do with...

... oh, hi. Sorry, I was having an elaborate revenge fantasy that went off the rails a little. I don't actually know what happens to Ebert or the shark aliens. I was just sort of riding the wave. Really, if I finished that shit it'd end up like the last couple seasons of Lost.

Except, you know, not quite that bad.

This has been my comedy that isn't necessarily a comedy. Good night.

How do you even get this stoned? I have no idea, because I apparently did.
