Quote:My partner is so convinced that it's pronounced "Thu-lu" that she corrects me every time I intimate the existence of a C.Originally Posted by Agonus
Great stuff. Pending the ending (heh) this is proving to be an even better multi-parter than Imagination Land.
I have to wonder though just how many people think South Park came up with the whole Cthulhu thing themselves. And I still think it sounds better if you pronounce the "th" like "the" and not a hard t, but I digress.
Still, I consider it "Kah-thu-lu".
It should be noted that, unless I am mistaken, Lovecraft intended it to be unpronounceable, further underlining how "Beyond Humanity" the Mythos was. -

O.O I didn't realize it was the same young lady. If you haven't seen The Uninvited, you should.

She got another movie. I'm set.

Captain Hindsight has to have the most ineffectual power. What is the point of knowing that this should have been done, but not being able to do anything about it?

I agree that these have been some of the best episodes, and South Park has been consistently great lately. Mysterion and his power being explained in an in-canon way was very well-handled, and all the references and spoofs that the Coon Saga is laden with have been impressive. Also, Cthulhu! Anyoen else notice the Arkham Horror games in the backround of the cultist lair? Nice nod to a great game.

I assume she'll be the ultimate fan girl for the works of Stephanie Meyer. Her goal will be to protect people during midnight movie releases and to settle Edward vs. Jacob debates that have turned violent.
She will be the defender of fangirlz and liberator of people that tease said fangirls simply for liking something different.
A paragon of justice and and tattoos that will be regretted fifteen years from now, she is... Twilight Guardian.
Ask not for whom the Bella fan trolls... she trolls for thee. -

I went to Random.org and grabbed two numbers. The second one* I took to Order of the Stick. I randomly got This comic, which I feel makes my case: There's no limit to dialogue if you can convince players to read it.
Maybe you should ease people into that much dialogue. Once you do, however, the sky's the limit.
Anything and everything is rated by its convenience primarily, quality second. The first few comics should be about convincing people to read it in the first place. The later comics should convince them to care. -
So, it's viewable online until December 7th. Drink up, lovelies.

As for me, I won a fruit smoothie at McDonald's and started an intense project to be more productive on the CCG I'm designing. Extremely happy.
(Not trolling; not joking. A thread like this is entirely within the rules, so I wanted to see where it would go. People always ask me what I really mean, so I'm preempting that with this explanation.) -

Full story here.
Short version: It's a very specific type of chemical that is formed in the brain that comprises the fear reaction. We can remove that chemical, which would cause someone to both not be afraid of something and forget the memories that caused them to be afraid in the first place.
I've seen references to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Men in Black, The Haitian, and more...
... I'm gonna go with the COBRA Soldiers of the G.I. Joe movie.

I went as "The Creepy Uncle" for my friend's party. A robe and smoking pipe always on the ready, I'd stroke my mustache slowly as I gave fellow partygoers flimsy and ill-conceived reasons that they deserved the candies I had in my deep, deep pockets. -

Quote:I think that the writers may be failing to make it clear that Will is a loser. That may just be me, though. I keep thinking that the commercials that insist that he is the Good Guy, as well as the episodes where he is a raw force of understanding and nice-ness seem to convey something that is... well... wrong.Originally Posted by BafflingBeerMan
I had an argument, well, a brief conversation, with someone over whether or not Will is creepy. They said he is always creepy, I said he is a loser, but isn't normally creepy and shouldn't be creepy.
Also, a reviewer I typically adore brought up an interesting point: After everything that Glee is, has been, and seems to stand for, it seems more than a little eyebrow-raising that the whole cast would seem to agree by way of silence that "Transexuals are, by their nature, so creepy that people should feel uncomfortable playing Dr. Frank 'n' Furter". Nobody wanted to play him for the simple reason of gender-bending. The joke with Kurt was that Frank was "Too weird, even for him" (implied, not stated). After oh-so-many "Is it because I'm gay!?" episodes with Kurt, sseeming to abide these irrational fear of trannys seemed a bit off. -

I just saw this on Hulu. What was it that Santana said that made Emma shush her when John Stamos' character (forgot his name) said he saw a hole that he was trying to fill? I couldn't make it out.

He hates you.
"You think it's that complicated? That someone invented time travel, went back in time, and decided to freak people out with a cell phone, all for the laughs? Really."
vs.
"You think it's that complicated? That someone deaf got hired for a movie, took it upon themselves to give their own blocking and orders, and managed to slip past in the movie without editors noticing? Really." -
So I just realized that Kurt stalking Finn and Will "Courting" Emma happen mostly when Ryan Murphy is writing the episodes. And they are almost always painted as tragic heroes.
I'm slowly beginning to realize that Ryan Murphy might actually think that what they are doing is romantic. That's too many shades of unsettling. -

I loved this episode. Huge emphasis on respecting the source material and being written for fans. From Sue's "They threw toast" trauma to her "heckling" of Will during rehearsals, the episode was inundated with inside Rocky jokes that drove home that they were catering only to those that already knew.
Purely delightful, even if the overall story wasn't strong. Just like the original Rocky, I guess.

I have a guess.
