I don't think I've been active on 4chan for at least a year. This discussion drove me to visit it, and the 9 years old banner made me feel old as the moon. The ACTUAL moon, not your pretentious corporate moon.

I watched Let Me In. It's a good movie. And then I watched The Troll Hunter. It was also a good movie. They were good movies.

Sekto Springs 10-19-2012 02:11 PM

They wanna remake Troll Hunter, 'merican style. I mean, all remakes are unnecessary, but that's like a wet turd down the throat.

Nepsotic 10-19-2012 02:12 PM

I saw the Troll Hunter with my brother and his girlfriend a while back.
I agree, it was a good movie.

Mac Sirloin 10-19-2012 02:15 PM

I don't understand how an American remake would work unless it still took place in Spain/Greenland/Wherever it was filmed since there was the whole troll mythos thrown in there. Ah well, just slap a big 'ol DIRECTED BY MICHEAL BAY PRODUCED BY TIM BURTON on there and you're good to go.

Norway, you clod. The place from which all of the world's troll lore originated!

Even if the remake still took place in Norway, the actors would most likely be speaking English with a Norwegian accent, or something stupid like they're American tourists who just happen to be visiting the most miserable part of Norway where they're swept up in the Troll shenanigans.

That's exactly the kind of convoluted nonsense they would work in as a pitiful means to assuage that voice in the back of all our heads saying "this didn't need to be remade". By plugging in those shitty little changes, they can argue that it's "a completely new spin on the classic* story!"


* According to Hollywood, "classic" can refer to anything made more than a year prior, so pretty much everything is a classic and is grounds for rebootin'

scrabface 10-19-2012 05:06 PM

wait I thought the whole "Spain/Greenland/Wherever" thing was only a joke. you saw the film and didn't know where it took place?

Sekto Springs 10-19-2012 05:22 PM

He may have been joking. I usually can't tell with you people.

Daxter King 10-19-2012 10:23 PM

Seven Psychopaths.

I loved the fuck out of it.

/sp/ stands for shit posting.

It certainly does. It was filled with USA USA USA shit during the Olympics.

I watched Rocky Balboa last night. I thought it was pretty good.

Nepsotic 10-20-2012 09:36 AM

It's the second worst Rocky film.

Dixanadu 10-20-2012 09:46 AM

You're the second worst Rocky film.

Dynamithix 10-20-2012 09:52 AM

Oh snap!

Dixanadu 10-20-2012 09:53 AM

You're the second worst game of Snap I ever had.

Mr. Bungle 10-21-2012 08:55 PM

Everyone here needs to watch Wacky Game Jokez, 4 Kidz!





I'm posting it here instead of Bits and Pieces because it is a series, and I have been watching it. It's amazing.

Varrok 10-21-2012 09:02 PM

Have you not known it before?

Sekto Springs 10-21-2012 09:19 PM

Telling us to watch this is like telling us to watch Homestar Runner. Everyone knows it exists, it's been around forever, and (almost) everyone already likes it.

Personally I prefer his pony.mov series, plus I'm pretty sure he's never going to actually finish WGJ4K.

OANST 10-21-2012 09:33 PM

Okay. That is actually really stupidly funny.

Edit: I had never heard of this before, so you can all stop berating him now.

Dynamithix 10-21-2012 09:35 PM

I finished the first season of Louie yesterday, I really like this show.

You're right. I WILL NOW BERATE YOU INSTEAD FOR NOT ALREADY SEEING IT.

OANST 10-21-2012 09:44 PM

Eh. I can live with it.

Mr. Bungle 10-21-2012 09:46 PM

I had a feeling someone here hadn't seen it. I've known it for a couple years, by the way. I just remembered it recently.

Also I'm not a huge fan of the PONY.MOV series. I've only seen the first 2 or 3 and didn't really find them that amazing. The animation is great, but I just don't find them that funny. Maybe because I'm not a MLP fan. I don't know.

And yeah, OANST, it's great. The fanmail episodes are the best.

Nepsotic 10-21-2012 11:00 PM

The penultimate episode of American Horror Story, SHIT'S GETTING REAL!

Whoa, what made you bring that up?

Sekto Springs 10-21-2012 11:01 PM

my post maybe?

Nepsotic 10-21-2012 11:04 PM

Really? I didn't see you mention it.

Hold on.

E: Hey, you did mention it!

I didn't actually like them at first, now I do, though.
Because shed.

Mr. Bungle 10-21-2012 11:35 PM

Yeah, I just watched all the videos and they're actually pretty funny. I think my favourite is Spike. The Seinfeld ending was too great.

Also I thought of you while watching Shed Nep. I totally fucking knew you'd gush over that. Iti s pretty amazing.



Confirmed 4 Brawl is the best ever though.

Sekto Springs 10-22-2012 12:12 AM

I'm shocked at how few people knew the song in Shed.MOV was a reference to Fat Albert. I mean, I figured it would be pretty obvious what with Fluttershy saying "Hey hey HEY" all the time.

Yeah hey that's because the kind of people who like this pony garbage tend to be fucking stupid. Not you specifically I'm just saying most of the fat humps I've encountered are real short poles in the gene tent if you catch my meaning.

Yeah really I didn't know that no wait I did so don't make a mistake like this again ya dumb clown or you're dead!

I've been watching a pantload of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. It's probably still the funniest show ever put on TV. Probably.

I wouldn't say stupid. Ignorant, yes, because they're all youngfags. Though the few older Bronies I've met, while friendly, all had the same god-awful mutual interests; dubstep, Kotawa Shoujo, and they were all /k/ommandos, oddly enough.

I don't really see the connection between bad music, VN's about crippled girls, guns and ponies, but apparently there is one.

Mr. Bungle 10-22-2012 12:31 AM

Did they all have a horrible stench?

Sekto Springs 10-22-2012 12:34 AM

No. Bronies are probably the cleanest clique of anti-social weirdos I've encountered. Certainly smelled nicer than all of us smelly Oddworld fags.

Mac Sirloin 10-22-2012 12:36 AM

In response to Bungle:
Yes. Like buttcaked cheesies put through a toaster full of vomit and carrion. And that one had just showered. Or maybe his hair just naturally shone that way. Right.

Bullshit. BULLSHIT! They reek like every degenerate internet denizen. They reek and they smell and they unapologetically stink up the place everywhere they go and don't tell me they don't. Bronies stink so bad you can smell them THROUGH the internet. Bronies are part of the mutant menace. They're with the slugs! Cleanse and purge! Don't let them bite you, or you'll be 20% dead or whatever those fucking pins say.

Sekto Springs 10-22-2012 12:52 AM

Again, I can only account for the ones I've met. All sperglord groups generally encompass smelly and/or overweight members.

Mac Sirloin 10-22-2012 12:56 AM

Honestly I don't even know what we're talking about any more. It's 4 AM and I apparently have more verbs and adjectives and nouns than I can handle so I'm just going to punch the wheat. Good everyb

Mr. Bungle 10-22-2012 01:39 AM

Wow, you really hate bronies. I mean, they're pretty bad, but you loathe them.

I've never met one in real life so I can't really say anything.

Crashpunk 10-22-2012 03:25 AM

One of my mates calls himself a brony and he tries so hard to force the show down your throat; Keeps saying it's awesome and your missing out, ect. The annoying part is I can't tell if he's serious or not.

So I understand Mac's loathing of the 'Bronies'. The fact that people call them selves a Brony annoys the fuck outta me. I'm a fan of Star Trek but I would never call my self a Trekky, it's just stupid, Why do you have to make up a name for a fan of a TV show?

Nate 10-22-2012 03:29 AM

No, actually. I'm closing this thread because it reached its limit. Not because I find brony-bashing so incredibly tiresome.

The new thread is here.
