[04:04:59] <chromas> 40% score
[04:23:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, i'd rather watch an honest B movie. at least they're up front about sucking.
[04:24:15] <carny> the wikipedia page makes it sound terrible
[04:25:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> whoever made that tried really, really hard to make their gradeschool kid's class project about how we should all be nicer to each other be the best flaming cup of assholes it could be.
[04:28:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> you'd think with space ships, brad pitt, sweet special effects, and tommy lee jones they could get *something* passable. but no. the story was such utter shit that it makes me want to watch a michael bay movie now so i don't get the mental bends coming up so fast.
[04:29:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> yes, i am literally saying the ball sucking transformers movies were much finer works of cinematic art.
[04:30:27] <chromas> Remember when Michael Bay used to make music videos?

[04:55:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, the best part? just in case you missed out on the finely crafted subtlety of their "wouldn't it be nice if everyone were nicer and paid more attention to each other" message, they went ahead and explicitly spelled that shit out in the last minute or two.

[23:36:49] <RandomFactor> or just a juicy steak...all the kids seem to be indoctrinated into vegitarianism in school lately
[23:38:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> can't help you there. it'd be cold and manky by the time fedex got it to you even if i cooked you one.
[23:39:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> mind you, any vegan talked in to eating a steak i cooked would either be instantly cured or take their own life in despair.
[23:39:58] <chromas> Still better than a tofu steak
[23:42:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> not a master chef or anything but the things i like i put the effort into perfecting.
[23:45:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> speaking of, i'm hungry and the kitchen/diningroom/laundryroom are still unusable from the guys rebuilding the floor. dishwasher supply had a tiny leak that had been screwing up the floor since before we got here and that was almost five years ago.
[23:49:18] <RandomFactor> Work rubbed the lamp three times. I must away for a bit and respond soberly after which I shall return.
