Saturday.

I'd ask for viewing advice again, but its a bit early and I think I'm going to hit Wallyworld. I need to frame up some posters for my new office. Is the best thing about working getting more wallspace? Possibly.

What the hell, throw out a Keanu, Cusack, or Cook movie or three and set tonight's schedule at K-'s Multiplex

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/13/2005 03:33 PM EST

Knegative:
Josie and the Pussycats
Actually, flipping around on TV today I saw two random movies, one with Cook and one with Keanu, that I had never seen before. One was on Comedy Central and I don't remember what channel the other one was on.

Chestnuts roasted by Gozer @ 08/13/2005 03:41 PM EST

That was Scorched with Rachael. Keanu was on at 10am on Showtime2 in The Night Before, 1:00 in Parenthood on TBS and Something's Gotta Give on HBO at 1:30.

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/13/2005 03:47 PM EST

I had pot roast today. I bet YOU didn't.

Chestnuts roasted by Dohopoki @ 08/13/2005 03:48 PM EST

Lest you think me a stalker, I get that info from KeanuWeb . For all your Keanu needs.

Gozer, I think you've got a point. I'm starting work monday, and my best friend is leaving for grad school. I should watch the best of the best. Josie & the Pussycats, High Fidelity, and Sweet November . I guess I can use Sunday for the Trilogy. Rock on.

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/13/2005 04:06 PM EST

I saw "Must Love Dogs" because I love John Cusack. Even if he's the same character in every film.

Chestnuts roasted by Julie @ 08/13/2005 04:20 PM EST

I know you mean it well, so I'll let it slide Yes, he is what emo boys strive to be. But often we end up overserious, wooden, and painful to be around. I won't mention 2 actors like that because everyone here knows who I'm talking about. Love them just as much though

Online Personal Dating sites suck Who do they think they're kidding with those banner ads?

Chestnuts roasted by AlphaCentaurian @ 08/13/2005 04:59 PM EST

Oh, I adore John, I want to tie a bow around his neck and give him to myself as a birthday present. He's just got this overpowering, unmistakeable Cusack vibe that shows through in all of his movies.

Chestnuts roasted by Julie @ 08/13/2005 05:17 PM EST

Matts gotten quite good at figuring out what day of the week it is, especially when thay day starts with a Satur.

Chestnuts roasted by Crocodile Feelin' @ 08/13/2005 05:24 PM EST

Garfield and Friends vol. 4 also comes out in August. Dang...

Chestnuts roasted by Mars @ 08/13/2005 05:27 PM EST

You sound remarkably like my aforementioned friend. I offered to kinda...ahem, convince him to speak at our commencment. The year before Jon Stewart was speaking at the college up the road and we couldn't go because it was the same day as our university's and all our friends were graduating. We always get stuck with Politicians I'd take a boring celebrity over that.

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/13/2005 05:34 PM EST

My birthday's this Monday! Yeah! Whoop! Dash! Spin! Frolly!

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Mr. Mr. @ 08/13/2005 05:49 PM EST

Oh, btw, that also means I can get drunk legally!

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Mr. Mr. @ 08/13/2005 05:49 PM EST

I leave to drive back to college tomorrow and I can't decide how I feel about that.

Chestnuts roasted by Mara @ 08/13/2005 06:22 PM EST

Matt needs to write about the two things in my hands right now. Chex Quest and Mall Mania.

Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 08/13/2005 06:23 PM EST

I'm recording Scorched later. I was intrigued by a Silverstone movie that I wasn't familiar with. Is it good? Bad? Bland? I'm so excited to be halfway participating in a Saturday night thread...

Chestnuts roasted by purplegirl247 @ 08/13/2005 06:57 PM EST

I bought the he-man collection on dvd the other week and felt a little cheated. The thundercats dvd came out with every ep. of the first season but not he-man, whats up with that?

Chestnuts roasted by Super_dex @ 08/13/2005 07:09 PM EST

Scorched = :-\

Chestnuts roasted by Travo @ 08/13/2005 07:15 PM EST

I haven't seen it, but it's not coming on again tonight. I was going to do alot of things today, and then I found out they are remodeling my front porch so I'd have to crawl out a window to leave. When do these things get decided? When I'm sleeping all day I bet.

Point Break is coming on at 8 on FX. Don't feel bad about only partially participating, I'm participating enough for everyone today (Sorry Matt ). The topic is Knegative's aborted Saturday plans. Or how about current listening. What is album is everyone listening to on end these days?

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/13/2005 07:17 PM EST

I'm listening to the Decemberists "Picaresque." I spent a good portion of a five-hundred mile road trip last week scouring the Texas panhandle for "Her Majesty," but Picaresque is good too. Besides, the Mariner's Revenge Song provides a much better counterpoint to playing "Pirates" eight hours a day.

Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 08/13/2005 07:25 PM EST

Album: Nine Inch Nails With_Teeth. Got tickets for ohio show yesterday.

Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 08/13/2005 07:25 PM EST

Fred Savage and the Unbeatables, a local band that kicks so much ass that not even Richard Simmons wants a piece of em.

Chestnuts roasted by Warx @ 08/13/2005 07:52 PM EST

With Sin City and Simpsons season 6 on tuesday, my wallet will be hurting... I still didn't pick up Thundercats either. I did grab the Muppet show though.

Chestnuts roasted by SuperRecoome @ 08/13/2005 08:00 PM EST

I'm hoping to pick up "The Muppet Show" sometime this week. May look for "Thundercats" as well.

I think I should have stayed on the boardwalk. It was surprisingly windy and cool up there, given how hot it was during the day. I debated seeing a movie on the beach behind the Convention Center, but it was just too windy to be doing anything on the beach, and I'm iffy on "Wedding Crashers" (cute but nothing I MUST see) and have no interest in "Dukes of Hazzard."

Chestnuts roasted by starwenn @ 08/13/2005 08:21 PM EST

Wow, an early start, and this time I get to be apart of it. Tho I dont have much to add, I do know that I really want the muppets dvd now!

Chestnuts roasted by IHAQ @ 08/13/2005 08:51 PM EST

Matt's in here. He's been lurking in the shadows all day, fixing our errors and growing increasingly irate with me. C'mon, say something Matt.

Into the Light I command thee!!

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/13/2005 08:56 PM EST

Has anyone heard of this god awful game called Uncle Wiggliy? I was in NJ on vacation afew days ago and one of the kids staying at the beach house found this game and we played it! If you ever get the chance dont! Heres the little story behind it...

Uncle Wiggliy Longears is and old rabbit gentleman who lives in a hollow stump bungalow in the wodds, with Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, his muskrat lady housekeeper. Uncle Wiggliy has the rheumatism, and starts for Dr. Possum's house No 151 Green Moss Ave. on the other side of the forest. Uncle Wiggliy wants to be cured of his rheumatism. On th way to Dr. Possum's office, he has many adventures.

Oh well at least I won and got cured of my rheumatism!

Chestnuts roasted by IHAQ @ 08/13/2005 09:25 PM EST

I haven't said anything in a while.

Matt is pretty.

Chestnuts roasted by Evin @ 08/13/2005 09:29 PM EST

I remember a book from my childhood called Uncle Wiggly. Wasn't this other guy trying to cut off his ears, or something the whole time. That scared the living crap out of me.

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/13/2005 09:34 PM EST

Yeah, I found out that this Uncle Willigy was first stories, I believe in like 1910 or something, I think that explains why its so creepy.

Chestnuts roasted by IHAQ @ 08/13/2005 09:46 PM EST

Well I found out the title of the book in question is Uncle Wiggily and the Sugar Cookie. He tries to help this kid test out his rain boots and I think it was a bobcat or something in overalls that was after him.

1910, yeah that would cover it. I'd never want to read that to a kid today. And its out of print from what I can tell. whew

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/13/2005 09:52 PM EST

Yeah, I had to get muppet show on dvd. I really enjoy the mumenschantz episode. And I can't wait for garfield vol. 4. But wait untill you see what's coming out November:

Chestnuts roasted by cheaptrick @ 08/13/2005 10:04 PM EST

We need a topic or a poll or something, but I personaly have no creative energy so it wont be me starting either, Im just here to annoy!

Chestnuts roasted by IHAQ @ 08/13/2005 10:17 PM EST

I read somewhere that Kermit turned 50 this week. I'll be doing my Kermit armwave all day tommorrow, in commemoration.

If nobody else has a poll, I'll suggest one: should they make a Thundercats movie? And who should be in it?

I'm going with Michael Clarke Duncan as Panthro.

Chestnuts roasted by DJ Elvis @ 08/13/2005 10:37 PM EST

I feel your DVD woes fellow
X-Ers. There is just too much to be had and once you get behind, it only gets worse. Complete HE-MAN this fall, Garfields, Muppets, etc. The only sure things are Episode III and Simpsons Season 6. My wife is not big on the DVD collection but she knows that those 2 are immune to her scrutiny.
Speaking of STAR WARS, the local WAL-MART took down its big ROTS display and the only figures left are Mon Mothma and Bail Organa. Who would have guessed that those 2 crowd pleasers weren't snatched up by fans and kiddies alike.

survey: best day ever-> must be described in ten words or less

Chestnuts roasted by dork @ 08/13/2005 10:51 PM EST

Well, as long as we're being random...maybe someone here can help me.

'bout a hundred years ago (mid 90's when I was just out of college), some DOS games came with something or other that I got when building my first computer. One in particular I remember but have no idea what the hell it was. I think it was some kind of puzzle game. What I remember most is that when you lost, your character (something cute, like maybe a bunny or teddy bear) would kill itself in some nasty way - hanging, or gunshot to the head, or knife to the gut.

Does ANYONE know what I'm talking about?

Chestnuts roasted by gadgetsgirl @ 08/13/2005 11:04 PM EST

It came on a demo disk with an ancient SoundBlaster card, I'm almost sure.

Chestnuts roasted by gadgetsgirl @ 08/13/2005 11:13 PM EST

Best day: "Roadtrip, Singing along to Girl All the Bad Guys Want."

Yeah, I'm a dorky emo kid. And, it doesn't take much to make me happy. I admit to Bad grammar and cheating if Roadtrip is two words.

Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 08/13/2005 11:22 PM EST

I have to add my 2 cents about Uncle Wiggly. I have the Original "The Uncle Wiggly Book" copyright 1927 and the Uncle Wiggly Board game from 1967. My 2 boys love that stuff.

Chestnuts roasted by Mikey Likes It @ 08/13/2005 11:25 PM EST

Julie: I like John Cusack, even if he does as you say end up playing similar roles in his movies (but is that because he's a bad actor or because he's cast that way?) Anyway, he was great in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

dohopoki: Chex Quest? Please... try Taco Bell's Tasty Temple Challenge XD

gadgetsgirl: For some reason that sounds familiar but I'm drawing a blank. If you have game-related questions like that, try posting your question/description at whatwasthatgame.com

Chestnuts roasted by Night_Trekker @ 08/13/2005 11:39 PM EST

Thundercats movie, yes why not?!

Best day ever ummmm Ill go with the pure chesse and say my wedding day!

gadgetsgirl- you know what? it does sound familiar, sorry Im no help tho!

Oh and for the last 10 minutes of the day I want to say Happy International Left-handers day! to all the leftys out there!

Chestnuts roasted by IHAQ @ 08/13/2005 11:48 PM EST

Sometimes, you just really get a craving to comment despite not having anything of value to say. Actually, judging by lots of what I read here, these cravings can be pretty frequent. However, my goal here is not to insult and annoy all the people here. I absolutely do enjoy doing these things, but they're not my GOALS. Regardless of my ramblings, all I'm really saying is that somewhere in reading the various rabbit-based posts, I decided Captain Bucky O'Hare sounded like something I wanted to discuss, in spite of it's irrelavence to the other going-on of the X-E boards. If you agree, you should comment, too. Then we shall discuss the Captain. It will be an enjoyable time.

I really should've shut up many sentences ago.

Hooray fo the Internet. Not only does it allow so many terabytes of things that have no right to exist, it allows me to contribute to the meaninglessness. Now is when I just stop with the typing and post a comment against all reason.

The only DOS Bunny Rabbit game that comes to mind for me is Jazz Jackrabbit...the little green commando dude. You can download the shareware version of it from this link to give it a look.

It's probably not much help, but I'm terribly bored

http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/111

Chestnuts roasted by Polander @ 08/13/2005 11:57 PM EST

Wow, I'm over here talkin' green rabbits and Jazz Jackrabbit didn't even come to mind. Evil turtles, hoverboards, big rockets, attack birds, 2 1/2 dimensional graphics on the bonus levels - this was a game that had everything. Truly one of the masterpieces of the shareware age.

In fact, new poll: best shareware game?

There are so many greats that it's tough to choose...Jazz Jackrabbit was incredible, but I think I'm going to have to go with Commander Keen VI: Goodbye Galaxy. What can I say, the Bean-with-bacon Megarocket was one classy ride.

Chestnuts roasted by Tougi @ 08/14/2005 12:07 AM EST

I have great memories of going to computer shows in the early 90's with my Dad when we lived in Groton, CT...we'd drive an hour into the state to spend a couple hours milling around some sleazy motel conference room filled with tables loaded with shareware and homemade programming stuff.

I always ended up taking a new piece of DOS shareware home, while my Dad was usually shopping for new creative stuff for the ol' Atari ST.

I probably spent the most time playing Jazz Jackrabbit. That game was pretty awesome, and the rabbit princess was sorta hot.

Chestnuts roasted by Polander @ 08/14/2005 12:13 AM EST

Yup.

Chestnuts roasted by The Cause @ 08/14/2005 02:52 AM EST

If they make a Thundercats movie, Jack Black should play Snarf. Don't ask me why, maybe it's the belly.

Best day: Silverchair concert. 'Nuff said.

Chestnuts roasted by Mara @ 08/14/2005 02:53 AM EST

Don't feel bad about not getting to bed at nearly 2 am Matt. I never get into bed before 4 am these days. I just like being up at night. Kind of a "my time" sort of thing.

Me so lonely.

Somehow or another, I slept for 16 hours yesterday. Seriously. I didn't even wake up once. I think I'm dying.
So I've been up since midnight, playing Mario Party and watching Nick @ Nite. Yay.

Night_Trekker: As bad as Taco Bell's Tasty Temple Challenge sounds just from the title, nothing can be worse than Mall Mania the official Pamida Video Game (not to be confused with Diva Stars: Mall Mania).

It's the only game I can think of where the object is for you and a horrible AI opponent to run around frantically in one of 5 different Pamida stores (including Future Pamida and Water Park Pamida) to pick up boxes of Tampax Tampons and Kellogs Frosted Flakes and throw them into your cart while you race around check points to the cash register.

And no, not a bit of that is exaggerrated, you really shop for Tampax in this game.

Cheaptrick, thanks for bringing up Ducktales. If anyone knows of someone who has a taped copy of the pilot TV movie, Ducktales: Treasure of the Golden Suns, please consider sending a copy to Matt. Hopefully it will be included in the DVD release, but I am too tired to look into it right now.

Chestnuts roasted by ME @ 08/14/2005 09:01 AM EST

What about TaleSpin? That's the show I want to see on DVD...

My local Wal-Mart just recently completed renovations and is now doing back-to-school/end-of-quarter clearances and such. The ROTS display is getting reconfigured, and the Hallowe'en aisle is starting to sprout. Time to start laying in supplies!

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 08/14/2005 02:37 PM EST

I missed the Saturday night boredom thread because I was in Bellefontaine checking out a regional heavy metal festival. The higher-card acts included All that Remains, 3 Inches of Blood, Six Feet Under and Chimaira. Each of the bands left it all on the stage, but 3ioB stole the show. Beers were only a buck apiece, so I got decidedly wasted as I was checking out some kick-ass metal while surrounded by unwashed rednecks who were twisted all to fuck on meth and having clumsy, unprotected sex in tents and making little redneck babies with brain-defects. It was a good night, to say the least.
