Gravity Falls seems pretty fun.

I watched some Adventure Time yesterday, after constructing a great pulsating trough of poutine to engorge myself with. I saw the 'Croak Dream' episode, which felt deep and delicious. I find some of the lingo they use a little excruciating. Not the rampant truncation of words or phrases so much as lots of nothing-words being used to describe essential things. 'Glub glubs' 'Glob world' 'Gloobs' just a lot of that garbage. It doesn't take away from the overall quality, it's part of the world that they inhabit. I just find it tiresome.

Glob is there version of God. It's really a way they can say "Oh my God" without some religious crazy people saying it's offensive. Glob is one of 4 heads (Grob, Gob, Glob, and Grod), they're all brothers, one's a sister. Magic Man is his younger brother, and he's a huge troll. (He once turned Finn into a huge foot and also he turned all the water into hair, and the whole population of Mars all got so thirsty and drank it. And when they drank it they apparently went bald.

Oh yeah, Abe Lincoln is the King of Mars.

Jeeez... how about a spoiler warning there, GLaDOS?

I've heard really good things about this show. I haven't seen it yet, as I typically avoid the Disney channel like the plague, but I am interested.

You're kidding right?

Varrok 09-18-2012 11:22 AM

He's kidding wrong.

Nepsotic 09-18-2012 11:35 AM

He's kidding left.

Sekto Springs 09-18-2012 12:13 PM

Okay, just checking.

Semi-kidding. I'm four episodes in, have no idea what the fuck is going on, but would rather work out the backstory on my own than be told it.

Mr. Bungle 09-18-2012 06:08 PM

Adventure Time doesn't have all that much of a backstory, really. I mean, there's little bits but it's not one of the main aspects.

Then again I havent seen much past season 1, so I could be wrong.

Sekto Springs 09-18-2012 06:39 PM

Actually, it has a huge backstory, so shut your mouth. It just hasn't been touched on in great detail yet. Wait till you see the Ice King's backstory... hoo boy.

Steamer_KING 09-18-2012 07:55 PM



After many years of seeing it on the movie theater, I watched it today again. Simply good.

Crashpunk 09-19-2012 04:57 AM

Watched Scott Pilgrim VS The World at a outdoor cinema (I say cinema, it was a projector in my mate's back garden :lol:)

I know people have mixed opinions about that film but I love it. It's one of the most enjoyable films I've seen in a long time and it's not just I'm a gamer (though I guess that's a big reason) but it's the fact that it's really funny at parts and the special effects are awesome; The sword fighting and the fight between those twins spring to mind.

Ice King's back story is quite depressing actually, seeing as he lived through the Mushroom War and his "princess" (aka Betty) left him

Can I just point out to non-viewers that Ice King's back story doesn't involve him prancing around and singing pretending to be Marceline.

It should.

GLaDOS 09-19-2012 08:25 AM

I find it weird how ice King and Marceline are about the same age, however Ice King looks about 80 and Marceline looks 18.

Sekto Springs 09-19-2012 09:55 AM

The rule of thumb for vampires is they never age beyond the year they became vampires.

OANST 09-19-2012 09:58 AM

How could that possibly be confusing. You disappoint me, Glados. This was not a triumph.

GLaDOS 09-19-2012 10:05 AM

I'm terribly sorry, how about a cake for my uncertainty on vampires.

*I'm making a note here, huge failure,
I just watched some PewDiePie, on YouTube,

That was on topic,

I do what I must, to not, get banned.*

What I'm saying is that you don't need to understand the backstory to really enjoy the show. It's engrossing and interesting, and adds to the vastness of the Adventure Time universe, but not a neccesity.

I Watched Monster the other day. It was alright. Charlize Theron was really good in it. It wasn't all that interesting for a good chunk of the movie, though.

Nepsotic 09-22-2012 11:14 AM

New Doctor Who was pretty good, I like the Earth episodes, though the third act was pretty boring.

Next episode looks like it may be the scariest Weeping Angels episode yet.

MeechMunchie 09-22-2012 11:30 AM

I liked it. I genuinely laughed at the "I'm in my pants" bit.

I RUB MY BUM I RUB MY BUM I RUB MY BUM I RUB MY BUM

Phylum 09-22-2012 03:58 PM

It was alright, but there were so many gaps in it. It's like it built up to something really cool and then they copped out at the very end. It would have been better if they'd condensed the start and done more with the end. Too much setup for not enough payoff.

Also, that last line was so bad I went into cardiac arrest.

Nepsotic 09-22-2012 04:04 PM

What was it? I can't remember.

Sekto Springs 09-22-2012 06:30 PM

Who was the one here who said they say Beyond the Black Rainbow and liked it?
Because I just watched it, and it was fucking terrible. Like, I pride myself on being able to appreciate avant garde wank and experimental films, but that was just two hours of Instagram-tinted bullshit to tell a five minute story, and the payoff for sitting through all of the slow motion and retro tripe was the 'villain' trips and cracks his head on a rock? Are you fucking serious?

Fuck that movie. Fuck it hard.

AlexFili 09-23-2012 10:20 AM

Recently rewatched The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. I like Stephen King stories a lot. I've also been watching the first series of 24. Man is it dark! I forgot how violent it was. No wonder the BBC stopped showing it on TV!

The Doctor Who episode with the cubes was fun. I liked the cube that was playing cheesy party music non-stop!

Bullet Magnet 09-23-2012 11:12 AM

The loathsome Chicken Dance.

OddjobAbe 09-23-2012 11:35 AM

I watched Predator. God, it's shit.
