well first the film starts with this quote:
"A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within"

than you see bloodthirsty mayas killing themselves and at the end the spanish conquerers land led by a priest. all the great scientific achievements weren't mentioned in the movie. and the maniac medicine man didn't even foresee the solar eclipse? there's a lot cliché in this movie, but on the other hand, the hiatus happened indeed.

well ya, but Mayans did kill other tribes as sacrifices. (What about the towers and hunting devices? That showed their achievements.) The movie even sugar coated it. They would actually cut off the arms and legs of the sacrifices and eat them too. But it was only the crazy ass tribe that everyone tried to stay away from, like in the movie, as much as it was dramatized.

Completely out of boredom, I watched a movie called Adam, which is about a girl getting into a relationship with a guy who has Asperger's. It was awful. She had absolutely no reason to be dating him. She was embarrassed of him when he met her friends, constantly at odds with him when they were alone, and she was always trying to get him to stop talking. It was as if she was dating him because it would be politically incorrect to not do so. I see what they were trying to do with the film, but they did the exact opposite. They made people with Asperger's out to be completely unlovable fucktards (which of course they are).

In our school, there's this one kid who has asperger's and he keeps talking about cardboard boxes.

It's funny how asperger people can be so fascinated by little things. Sometimes he just starts talking about making a fortress out of boxes.

is the fortress up for sale? I always wanted to move to Winland

That's awesome. How could you not want to be friends with someone like that?

The most aspergersy movie I ever saw was Shark Boy and Lava Girl.

David Byrne has aspergers I think, but he's cool.

When I say it I always think of Ass burgers. What is that movie with the guy from Flight of the Conchords who goes out with this weird awkward girl, and they play Mortal Kombat or something, and he dresses like an Eagle. I got that creepy distant, socially inept vibe from that movie. Sometimes those kinds of people have the weirdest talents too, and you'll never find out until after a long time because they don't brag about things like that.

I know a guy who has asbergers (i think) and he's insanely good at piano.

On topic: I watched There Will Be Blood about a week ago. It was great, if a bit slow/dry.

I am friends with him. A lot of people in our school bully him, which is so wrong because a) he has asperger's and b) he's just interested in boxes! What's wrong with that?

I watched Scot Pilgrim vs. The World. I liked it. It was fun.

I liked it as well but I had to turn off my brain to watch it, I kept on trying to make sense of it.

City of the Living Dead, at a big weekend-anniversary showing. It was shit.

I watched 9 last night. It's one of my all-time favourite films, so it was great to see it again. I know it didn't get good reviews, but everything about it is just perfect for me, especially the dark story (with no comic relief or overused CG film humour!), and the rather brilliant character designs. Besides, films with bad reviews are the ones that I always seem to like best... :P

You and me against the world, Tanto.

Coming to you LIVE from my front room:

I'm watching I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!. Shan Ryder is awesome. He spends most of the show asleep and is currently eating testicles and worms without a complaint. He's even cracking jokes.

I'm still not sure what I think of Shaun Ryder being there, tbh. ;^^ While it's good that he's doing well on that show, being there meant that he wasn't at the Gorillaz concert on Friday. Dare just wasn't the same without him performing live! (Although they did have the video with his giant cyborg-head on the screen above the stage, which was better than nothing.)

Been watching the new My Little Pony cartoon.

Shit is so good. I not trolling.

Seriously. I thought it would be shockingly bad when we gave it a whirl out of fun, but apparently it's from the same person who did Powerpuff girls. It was surprisingly great.

Craig McCracken?

Nah, Lauren Faust apparently. She's his wife.

Ah.

Powerpuff Girls is some serious shit.

I watch it if it's on in the morning. Fuck yeah.

Also there's a ridiculous amount of lesbian horse undertones in this show.

Smug little pony.

Just watched The Horrors of Spider Island, and would complain about the waste of a perfectly good title, but the movie itself uses It’s Hot in Paradise, which is far more appropriate. I guess I would have liked this movie more as a kid. Tons of cheesecake, with a slab of beef, but very little in regards to spiders, outside of one cuddly looking prop, and a wolfman being passed off as a spiderman.

Powerpuff Girls is pretty much the best animated show ever.

Followed close enough by Courage the Cowardly Dog.

I like Dexter's Lab better than the Powerpuff Girls. also Samurai Jack. Tartakovsky is a genius.
except, I think Mojo Jojo is one of the greatest and most fun super villain of all time.
A completely different, but also really good animated show was Aeon Flux.

Dexter's Lab was a lot of fun, yeah.

It's just so hard to rank revival Cartoon Network originals, they were mostly all gold.

Whut?? How can you put Powerpuff Girl anywhere near Courage The Cowardly dog!!?? >: ( That show was awesome, and one of the few that I actually liked.
PPG was meh-meh. *sticks out tongue*

Powerpuff Girls was art you whore and you can shut your whore damned whore mouth.

whoreswhoreswhores

Powerpuff Girls was pretty fucking great.
