I Have Just Seen... V -

He sounds like such a prat.

Maybe. Team Meat spend a minute defending him, McMillen claims he's not unpleasant, just an obsessive perfectionist.

Seriously, the Team Meat commentary is probably better than the actual film. Just endless stupidity, it had me in stitches. The running jokes make it seem more like RiffTrax or something.

Edmund: Fun fact: I actually did all the character design for Braid; then it got redone.
Tommy: ... I actually made Braid. Jon stole it off me. He's a cheap hack.

(Later)

Edmund: I actually made Super Mario Brothers.
Tommy: Must have been something you did with Florian. [Himsl, Binding of Isaac dev]

(Much later)

Tommy: I actually made Fez. Phil Fish really is a dick.

Plus various other speculations. Phil Fish is three feet tall and stands on crates at expos; Phil Fish is really a cold-blooded hitman called "Kill Fish"; Phil Fish has no eyes; Phil Fish is Wolverine; Tommy slowly absorbed Edmund's fat tissue over SMB's development, while Edmund stole Tommy's hair; Tommy has emu feet; in-depth discussion of Tommy's semen; and various reasons why Jonathan Blow never sits down, even when asleep.

Oh, and their 'big black lady' voices are amazing. "Oh, no, Phil Fish, you did not just consider suicide!" "Oh yeeah he did!"

:

Hahaha

Maybe watch the film! Challenge your current perceptions! Experience! Live! etc. etc.

I'll be honest, I don't expect anyone my age to remember this, but do any of the older members?

Just accidently remembered this, in fact I'm pretty sure I remember that episode. XD

The Herbs.

OddjobAbe · #**423** 06-18-2012, 07:11 AM

Holy shit. I totally forgot about that. I got them on video cassette and gave them to my nephew.

STM · #**424** 06-19-2012, 09:57 AM

I loved the hell out of those videos.

Mr. Bungle · #**425** 06-19-2012, 10:31 AM

Wait a minute. Is Scraptrapman OddjobAbe's long lost nephew?

Also, I've been watching the fourth season of the Simpsons over the past few days. It's probably my favourite of the classic era, all the stories are really well done and full of emotion (or in some of them just humor) and the animation is top-notch. It's right around the time they really hit their stride in great episodes.

Varrok · #**426** 06-19-2012, 11:39 AM

I'm past the second season and can say pretty much the same so far

Dynamithix · #**427** 06-19-2012, 12:47 PM

I have been watching Futurama a lot lately. Futurama is good.

Nepsotic · #**428** 06-19-2012, 12:56 PM

It's better than the late Simpsons.

Wings of Fire · #**429** 06-19-2012, 12:58 PM

I like Futurama, but it's horrendously overrated.

Can't praise the second to seventh series of Simpsons enough though. It's what I grew up on.

OANST · #**430** 06-19-2012, 12:59 PM

Futurama is only overrated when Farnsworth isn't in the room.

Wings of Fire · #**431** 06-19-2012, 01:01 PM

And it becomes far far more overrated whenever Bender or Dr Zoidberg open their mouths.

OANST · #**432** 06-19-2012, 01:02 PM

I can agree with that. Also, I'm not crazy about Leela.

Dynamithix · #**433** 06-19-2012, 01:53 PM

It's still a fun show, and I love the characters. Just finished the third season.

Laser · #**434** 06-19-2012, 02:49 PM

Re-watched The Tree Of Life. One of my fav films from 2011. Utterly pretentious yet beautiful to look at. Also great acting by Brad Pitt.

GLaDOS · #**435** 06-20-2012, 10:16 AM

Watching The Orphanage at School atm. It's creepy as hell. It wasn't bad at first but now its getting weird. we're watching it in our Spanish lessons in the Spanish language. Its quite a good film. Anyone else seen it? (Don't ruin the ending for me, I'm up to where the woman is sitting at the table eating some food with some dolls and yelling)

Dynamithix · #**436** 06-20-2012, 10:30 AM

I thought it was boring. It was alright though.

I keep meaning to see it. I'm told it's somewhat similar to The Devil's Backbone. Which I loved.

Nepsotic · #**438** 06-20-2012, 11:15 AM

It's a brilliant film. Made by the same guy who made Pan's Labyrinth.

OANST · #**439** 06-20-2012, 11:18 AM

The Devil's Backbone is, yes. Guillermo Del Toro didn't make The Orphanage.

Nepsotic · #**440** 06-20-2012, 11:22 AM

He was the producer of The Orphanage. He also did a good job with the less popular and underrated 'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark'. he worked on Kung Fu Panda 2 to some degree as well.

AlexFili · #**441** 06-20-2012, 11:23 AM

Just saw this for the first time:

Yes, but "Producer" is not the same thing as "made". You only get to say that someone "made" something if they either wrote it, or directed it.

Nepsotic · #**443** 06-20-2012, 11:45 AM

Well, I didn't necessarily mean he created it, but I knew he worked on it, I just [p=-[;' cunt remeber wat he did

He has done some great work, though.

Dynamithix · #**444** 06-20-2012, 11:55 AM

I have watched six episodes so far of the sixth season of Futurama now. I thought the episode where Bender finds out he is defective was actually pretty sad. So far it's pretty good.

MeechMunchie · #**445** 06-20-2012, 12:58 PM

I saw Men in Black III.

Mediocre. Jermaine Clement plays Jermaine Clement and it also has a Paramite in it. Those are the good points.

OANST · #**446** 06-20-2012, 02:00 PM

I saw it over the weekend, as well. It was okay. Kind of fun. Movies like this are always very forgettable for me, but I actually liked this one more than normal.

T-nex · #**447** 06-20-2012, 02:05 PM

I saw MiB 3 recently as well.. I actually did kinda like it. I didn't hate it like some would. But I am also not a skilled movie-watcher, so I am quite oblivious to any faults it might have.
Cute story really.

I watched the first half of that season, and there were some really great episodes. The one you mentioned and the time machine episode were my favourites.

Sekto Springs · #**449** 06-20-2012, 04:02 PM

Saw Prometheus.
I have a lot of qualms, but they're all very nitpicky. I'll get back to you with them, I can't be arsed to type them out right this minute.

Mr. Bungle · #**450** 06-20-2012, 07:49 PM

Would you say it's worth watching to someone who has only seen the first Alien and doesnt give two shits about canon?
