filkertomA good Sunday to you all! Two bits of coolness. First, it looks as if I'm going to be on Dr. Demento's Demento Society Basement Tapes #13 for next year! The Doc wants "Talk Like A Pirate Day" on there, to which I said "Yippee! Wahoo! Yay!"
Second, I also said "Yippee! Wahoo! Yay!" to The Incredibles. If you haven't seen it yet, that would be a fantastic way to spend a couple hours. Damn, Pixar can do no wrong.
Apart from that, open thread. Have fun, play nice.

The Incredibles
Date: 2004-11-07 07:14 am (UTC)A day later, I'm still reveling in it. The look and feel is amazing. The storytelling is fantastic. I was very impressed by the voice acting cause it doesn't sounds like voice acting (if that makes sense).
I love the layout work, the mid-century architecture and decors, the cars that almost remind you of something real.
And the physicallity of the Super Hero action, best ever. Watching Elasti-Girl ooze and shoot about was amazing.
Oh, and a tech thing, the eyes. Most CG films suffer from bad eyes, lifeless. But they've worked hard on it, looking much better
I can't wait to see it again.

vote fraud
Date: 2004-11-07 01:49 pm (UTC)After I read your Nov. 3 post suggesting that vote fraud may have occurred, I checked exit polls for Ohio and Florida, and I saw that they exactly matched the official vote percentages. This satisfied me that no vote fraud had occurred in these states.
Today, I read this Yahoo! News article about Karl Rove, and one sentence leapt out at me:
"Exit polls were adjusted to reflect official vote tallies."

Date: 2004-11-07 02:30 pm (UTC)Incredibles was incredible
Date: 2004-11-07 02:47 pm (UTC)The powers of the family wreaked a bit of Fantastic Four. That is the only bad thing I can even come close to saying.
See it again and again for the little jokes that were missed the first time.

Date: 2004-11-07 09:27 pm (UTC)That is great news!!! I renew my subscription for that reason ONLY. (To get the CDs.) It means I really need to add a 2nd one to the filk list I have... (I got organized once and typed into my computer a list of all filk tapes I own... I think its over 370 items and growing.... Its up by 2-3 this weekend via trades. (Only original tapes/CD/records make the list.))
It was good. I took my sister to see it today and we both enjoyed it.... One question... Did your theatre have the new Star Wars trailer attached to the movie? Mine did NOT.

Date: 2004-11-08 10:35 am (UTC)I always wanted to get into a Champions campaign, but that's unlikely, as I seem to have suddenly become "persona non grata" in my local gaming community...
Jesus, ya make one tiny, little, off-hand comment about a bunch of bulbous, hairy, basement-dwelling PLUSH-HUMPERS and suddenly you're a PARIAH!

Good luck finding more gamers - try game stores, if you have them

Date: 2004-11-09 11:07 am (UTC)Yippee, wahoo and yay on both counts! Great news on the Dr. D disc, and we went to see The Incredibles on Friday last ... yea, verily, it doth rock!
I am convinced that the initial killer robot was animated with a little stutter to make it a little reminiscent of Harryhausen. Did anyone else notice that, or do I just need new glasses?
Pixar might not have topped themselves, but it's another highly worthy entry into a huge pile of great works.
