Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 107)

Re: ‘A Taste Of Armageddon’, Star Trek: TOS, conflict resolution:

Since they have such a high consciousness of duty, and since all-out (real) war is the alternative (barring Kirk-ian intervention), wouldn’t they just have said “Ok…we know this sucks, and they’re being really mean…but the Enterprise crew won’t do the disintegration thing. Can we have 430 volunteers, please?” *430 hands go up* “Thank you.” *End*

“…I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your website?…”

No.  And I’m not gonna buy one of your d@mn (Insert Product You Tried To Advertise By Using A Seemingly Legit Question To Get The Comment Approved That Included The Address Of Your Obvious Sh1t Website) , either.

Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 106)

A very logical conclusion.

“Kirk: Evaluation of M-5 performance, it’ll be necessary for the log.
Spock: The ship reacted more rapidly than human control could have maneuvered her. Tactics, deployment of weapons, all indicate an immense sophistication in computer control.
Kirk: Machine over man, Spock? It was impressive. It might even be practical.
Spock: Practical, Captain? Perhaps. But not desirable. Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them.”

Blast From The Past

Hey Linda Cutts, remember this?

It’s even better in context.  You know, how you promised with tears in your eyes and emotion in your voice that you would NEVER EVER EVER let me go to prison?  How I was alone and lost and you begged me to trust you, and I asked you if I could because I was so desperate for ANY REASON to not feel ALONE, and you said yes, and I asked if you promised, and you said yes?  And how you said you would BE THERE, absolutely, no question, period, to make sure I NEVER went to prison?  When I was my most vulnerable, terrified and horrified, how you promised me that?  Remember?  I do.

Wanna know why I have horrific trust issues, or why I wake up flailing and screaming in the middle of the night at every replayal of what you did, then and before then?  Have a listen!

Deep Puppy Thoughts (Part 104)

I think someone should make a ‘Human Centipede’ parody called ‘The Human Minutely-And-Inconsequentially-Altered-Human’.

In this film, a human would be kidnapped and then, unbeknownst to them, a very minor and trivial thing would happen to them before they were returned, without their knowledge of what it was.

Say, one strand of hair being cut. Or maybe a fingernail nicely buffed. Or perhaps a gold star on the forehead?

The possibilities are endless, and THINK OF the number of sequels!

Not any dumber than HC 1-3.

The Human Centipede 3 (2015)

“2” was “1”, only without the slightest attempt at a script. Look to 1 for the grade, and try to imagine it lower.

This, on the other hand, is thoroughly disgusting but less shocking than either 1 or 2…the gore is expected (and less), the end result is pre-decided.

If you have the stomach for it (really) and like wretched (I mean REALLY), you might enjoy this slightly as camp: the greatest achievement of the director, an MST3K-after-hours worthy film.

Pupdate – Forgotten Kingdoms

The roleplaying on FK has, overall, gotten slightly better since my previous rankings.

However, this is NOT due to a “general improvement” in roleplay…it’s due to a few good roleplayers playing a few different characters fairly regularly.

You can therefore find good roleplay much easier than when it was, say, one or two good RPers.

So, in essence, your chances of finding someone good amongst the sludgy cesspool of mediocrity is higher now than it was. Probably than it EVER was…how long that will last, of course, is completely up in the air: since the roleplaying of most remains mediocre, the point in playing depends on the continued playing of the few, the proud, the good FK roleplayers.

It WOULD, in all honesty, be perfect if FK had Armageddon’s RP quality. THEY DO NOT.

But if they DID, it would marry some really good aspects together.

Armageddon has the RP but lacks the sufficient and consistent help files, the overall friendly Imm presence, the overall friendly player presence (OOC), the visually pleasant appearance (no, it’s not “cuz the game is harsh”, though that’d be a good one)…and the life expectancy is just a LITTLE too grim. FK, on the other hand, has tons of mostly consistent and complete helpfiles, overall friendly Imm/Player presence (OOC), a pleasant visual experience…but there is virtual character immortality.

Two extremes on the life expectancy scale…somewhere in the middle would be nice.

IF FK ever retained the few good RPers they have, AND attracted new ones, AND the mediocre ones tried harder, AND the bad ones learned to at least be mediocre, AND the IDAA ones STOPPED PLAYING (Gwain: this means you) then FK would actually be superior to Armageddon, or any other MUD.

However, that is currently NOT the case, nor is it likely, given past experience, to ever be the case.

“Before music videos first came out, you’d listen to a song with headphones on, sitting in a beanbag chair with your eyes closed, and you’d come up with your own visions, these things that came from within. Then all of a sudden, sometimes even the very first time you heard a song, it was with these visual images attached, and it robbed you of any form of self-expression.”   – Eddie Vedder

“Excellent blog post. I absolutely appreciate this site. Thanks!”

Thanks! Your website/link/email/whatever sucks and I’m not gonna advertise it. You’re welcome!

“Security personnel have to speaking with each other so everyone gets on the exact same web page.”

I think that speaks for itself.

“Why visitors still make use of to read news papers when in this technological globe the whole thing is presented on web?”

Well, that’s a pretty deep philosophical discussion, actually. The reason why there are still books, etc…

“hey there and thank you for your information – I have definitely picked up anything new from right here. I did however expertise some technical points using this site…”

Umm…sorry? Thank you? Both?

“If you wish for to increase your know-how just keep visiting this web site and be updated with the hottest news posted here.”

Couldn’t have phrased it better myself.

Ahhh…fans. This is when the five years of work REALLY seems worthwhile. And, of course, as was put perfectly regarding my blog:

“It’s not something that ought to be done without the assistance of an experienced property specialist.”

Am I Insinuating Something????

Currently playing LOTS of grunge and alternative(and some indie) on my online radio station. I’d LIKE to play some more indie, but I would need indie bands/artists to offer their music for airplay consideration, you see.

Like one already did, and got added.

Semper Puppy Radio – A Commentary

To people that listen to my station and then IMMEDIATELY stop when they see a particular “type” of music coming up…get over it.

I mean, I think most of the stuff by Misery Signals is wretched, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the beauty of “Worlds & Dreams”.

You know, like…give it a chance. Like alt/indie artists want their music given a chance.

How do I know this happens?

I can SEE.

I Love The Smell Of Vitriol In The Morning

“I guess you were hoping for a woman who pitied you enough to think your jobless, carless, psychological need for intense cuddling and likely, eventual asexual relationship was going to be appealing. I’m sorry that I don’t share your lackluster desire participate in life, nor your need to self-righteously preach to other people your personal views. Everything about your profile suggests someone who is clinically depressed and I’m not interested in rescuing anybody, nor will any other person who gives a sh1t about forming healthy relationships.

You’re right, I feel much better now, Thanks!”

The Whisperer In Darkness (2011)

I DON’T understand…AT ALL…WHY, for the love of Cthulhu, there haven’t been ANY good film adaptations of Lovecraft’s work (that I’ve seen) beyond ‘In The Mouth Of Madness’.

Surely the source material is good enough, and imaginative enough, and creepy enough…for SOMEONE to take those ideas and transform them into a movie that’s somewhat worthy of the source.

But ITMOM is the only success I’ve seen.

And, while I applaud the appreciation of the material that this film (and some others) show(s), it is “well-intentioned”; like everything except ITMOM, a regretful if (in some cases) sincere failure.

Grade: F

Film Imitates Hagakure – Part Nineteen

“…The way of avoiding shame is different. It is simply in death. Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams…”

FAIR USE: CRITICISM – A great example of determination, in a good scene, from what is considered by at least one fictional character as “the sweatiest movie of all time”.

The Way Things Are

It’s amazing, I think…how some people can watch a movie like ‘The Shawshank Redemption’, and CRY – like I do – and then proceed to show that their tears were false; evoked by outside forces but not really felt, as meaningless as any other lie.

10/16/16: FAIR USE: CRITICISM – Good clip from a great movie. (housekeeping)
