A NOVELIZATION OF KUNG FU PANDA

Oh, neat. <3 novelizations. They cover deleted scenes, and explain character backgrounds nine times out of nine.

Could the mysterious circumstances in which Po came to be adopted by Oogway lay within? I must know.

And its copies covered like HALF the shelf

Oh, lame.

[Kazz]

I have a theory that bookstores can order those for much cheaper than legitimate titles, because their display pretty much counts as advertisement for the film.

jesus christ I know this happened with disney before but at least you could say they were classic stories

All the MORE reason they shouldn't be fucking novelized.  Because the stories, you know, ALREADY EXIST.

...My all-time favorite is Bram Stoker's Dracula, by Fred Saberhagen and James V. Hart.

...Before Lord of the Rings was released, one of the early pieces of news that led me to think "Oh hey, these guys know what they're doing" was when Jackson refused to authorize a novelization, because there's already a fucking novel.

[Brentai]

And yet I still seem to have a set of the books with Elijah, Orlando and Viggo mugging all over the covers.

I have at least three sets of those books though.  I've shoved the movie-version ones into a corner.

[Thad]

Yeah, my copy of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas has Johnny Depp on the cover.

But you know, books and covers and all that.

So, in the good news column, I pretty well finished a project that basically wasted my entire year (well, since february) as well as a good amount of time in the preceding two years. I mean there's some editing left, but that's dependant on other people's proofing.

Now, apart from having wasted so much precious time on something (I'm not going into the details other than to say I foolishly let myself get roped into a game fan-work that got way Way WAY out of hand). I am going to resume my own work after not drawing a single thing since February.

Part of the grand watershed was to finally confront the yawning horror: Log back into DeviantArt (ugh!) and check all the work by folks I follow that had gone up since I last logged in.

2355 images to check, file and possibly save.

People that think twitter is livejournal, making it somewhat akin to Angst Radio, All Angst All The Time.

I wasn't really pissed, because I don't really give a damn about spoilers, but it was so stupid I felt compelled to share: The DVD version of The Great Escape has spoilers playing in the background of the DVD menu.

"HAY THAT GUY DIES!"

GENIUS!

 

[Büge]

You know, I think the same thing happens with The Usual Suspects.

[Brentai]

Yeah but, you know, It Was His Sled.

Less so with The Great Escape, since even though it's an older film, the most people generally know of it is that that one guy in MGS3 named himself after one of the tunnels.

This really doesn't belong here, but there isn't a thread titled "Things that make you want to murder the person who is doing them," so, here goes:

People who approach you at parties, ask the usual bullshit questions, then make snide/snooty comments about your job and/or your school.

That's right, Mr. Rich Fuckwit. I have a shitty job, and I went to a shitty school. It's because I'm fucking poor. Like so goddamn poor that if you were as poor as I am for five seconds you would commit suicide in despair at the shock of it.

Guess what, though? All that money can't make you as smart or as polite as me. The proof is that I didn't kill you (polite) so I wouldn't go to jail. (smart)

Jesus Christ. I cannot believe people do this shit. It's like they've never seen a movie and are as such unaware that everyone fucking hates their character. Or worse, they're aware of it, but they don't care.

EDIT: also, this is my favorite thing ever:

"I AM A SELF MADE MAN AND I HAVE NO PITY FOR THOSE WHO ARE POOR BECAUSE IF I WAS ABLE TO GET RICH BY BEING A COMPLETE DICKHEAD EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO GET RICH BY BEING A COMPLETE DICKHEAD"

[Royal☭]

What would you know?  You're posting on a really crappy forum.


But yeah, dudes like that are a shithead.  What was an obvious paragon of high society doing at a party where poor people like yourself might mingle anyway?  Slumming it?  Hoping to get a servant boy?

I'll have you know I graduated from the GameFAQs message boards, class of Fighter/Mage.

I allowed myself to be roped into it by my mother, who enjoys that kind of thing. Most of the people there were merely rich and not complete shitheads, which I don't mind so much. I still dislike their little pity looks they give me when I tell them what I do and such, but it's better than the alternative.

And yes, before you ask. I'm pretty sure the reason she wanted to bring me was to put me on display for the rich boys.

[Angry Beaver]

There are two words that when said will let the person behind the meat/fish counter know you are  a craven idiot.

"Center cut" and "Sushi grade".

 Also, if you're uncle in New Yowk has a meat shop, and this isn't how he cuts his meat, your uncle is doing it wrong fuck you very much.

Pine tree sapping my hands.

People who approach you at parties, ask the usual bullshit questions, then make snide/snooty comments about your job and/or your school.

Held the fortune of attending two schools simultaneously, one of the worst & one of the best in the district. The questioner would immediately backup, preparing for a shank to the gut as I mentioned the former, and then reel back into the Comfort Zone once the latter was mentioned. A professor of the latter brought on a student from the former (without my knowledge) due to my reputation, only to personally lament to me what a mistake it had been.

I'm a beautiful and unique snowflake among the unwashed.

Pimpin' ain't a thang.

class of Fighter/Mage.

OBJECTION!
How could you be a pally then!?


PS. Also I do not think you are roleplaying lawful good very well. Be careful or the GM will make you fall.

[François]

When people say "here are two words" but there are really four words.

 

[Niku]

Oo, can I play?

People who don't know the difference between your and you're.
