    1989 brings you one of my all time favorite tunes

    So my sister and I have decided to cosplay as Vanellope von Schweetz and Wreck-It Ralph for January's Ohayocon.

    I'm looking forward to this.

    technically it first came out in '85, but I like the edit on Sink more

  • In the late 1990s and early 2000s with the rise of wilderness chic, The North Face became a well-known brand and its popularity increased substantially.[8] Due to the high demand for and the high prices of these products, a market developed for counterfeit The North Face goods.
    why


    that is so dumb

    AU: Make that "all of Cosmic Thing" for me. :D

    World ends in less than an hour. What should I do, I wonder?
  • QUICK FIND SOME BOOBS
  • I'm listening to Clarity one last time.

    If the Rapture's coming, might as well listen to the best album of the year first. :P
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Too late to go boobhunting.

    Think I'll just listen to this and think deep thoughts


  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    it ended

    thirty-five minutes ago
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Google also gives the result "has the world ended before" which...yeah

    Am I the only one irritated that the film adaptation of The Hobbit is subtitled An Unexpected Journey instead of There and Back Again?

    When you fuck up something as simple as the title I don't have high expectations that your movie is faithful to the source material.

    Why am I listening to "Destruction of All Worlds" on a loop

    Also it bothers me somewhat that SPM never addresses how close the Mushroom Kingdom was to getting obliterated by The Void...we see Merlon and Nolrem standing outside of the Castle Bleck door in Flopside, a bunch of Yold Towners standing around, and Flint Cragley reporting on the end of existence but nothing about the franchise's main setting

    "There and Back Again" is the subtitle of the third movie

    It's really the opposite. It's a lot easier to change (and changing isn't the same as messing up, mind) something like a title than the plot.

    Wait...they're making three of these fuckers? From a single not-exceptionally-long novel?

    Talk about your blatant money grabs. I'm gonna pass on this trilogy, I think.

    There were three LOTR movies, so the logic goes

    It was gonna be two (back when this project was trapped in MGM's bankruptcy) but WB pulled a Deathly Hallows and split it in three

    But LOTR was a trilogy to begin with, at least in the sense that it was published in three volumes.

    Whereas The Hobbit is a single novel. A lot happens in it, sure, but I don't think I could ever be arsed to sit through three feature-length films of it.
  • You seem to have become cynical all of a sudden. It's weird.

    Never let it be said that Wikipedia lacks a sense of humor.

    As for The Hobbit: Do you like fantasy, AU?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Maybe?

    Not sure?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    yeah...
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Supposedly they've added a whole bunch of stuff to, uh, pad it out to three movies. Like other parts of the backstory and etc.

    Also it's after midnight and we're still here

    ^^ Well, you could always try it and see if it's your thing or not.

    I'd let you borrow one of my copies, but you know...

    ^ Again, not high expectations for fidelity to the novel.
  • Fidelity to the novel is massively overrated.

    We were in a grocery store parking lot when Leigh saw someone who looked like Justice.

    <Leigh> That looks like Justice. Just with darker skin and a different lady.

    <Me> Yeah... that's one of his most important distinguishing characteristics. "Well officer, he's short, with straight black hair past his shoulders and he has an Arab..."

  • This was a slow year in videogames.

    But the Mother series came out, as did Prince of Persia.

    And, of course, the fall of communism.

    ^Also Stephen Arnold created Eyewitness the '90s/Daily Planet/WWL News which is sadly no longer offered
