Eh...putting in the word "horrible" kind of makes it not one. Although the first time I tried a shot of 151, my reaction was indeed "it tastes like burning".

I still need to read that...but I have the second half of A Song of Ice and Fire to finish first, which has got to be at least...two thousand pages. (Maybe not exactly half, but I'm about halfway through book 3, so close enough)

Kugai · « **Reply #303 on:** 08 Mar 2013, 19:02 »

Haven't read the Dune saga in a long while myself actually. Might do that after I get through Karen Traviss' series which I'm doing ATM

I like Veronica reactions at the start to "...drinks until then", "Excellent!". Her hands and the phrase almost feel like they should be done by Doctor Evil.

Really? I get more of a Monty Burns vibe...

And I haven't read the Dune trilogy since it was one, back in the 70's.

I get the feeling that a gong should have rung after that last pannel.

DSL · « **Reply #307 on:** 08 Mar 2013, 19:41 »

Now, the vibe I got from V.V.'s pose was less "Dr. Evil Burns" and more "Yay!"

Method of Madness · « **Reply #308 on:** 08 Mar 2013, 21:59 »

People don't do the Burns "excellent" thing when they're excited?

Bluesummers · « **Reply #309 on:** 08 Mar 2013, 22:10 »

I do...but only when I'm talking to myself, which is more often than not.

DUNE REFERENCES.

On that note I would like to say Dune used to be my emergency glovebox book in my old car.

Also I have *absolutely no idea* what you mean by trilogy. There was only one Dune book. And only one Matrix movie while we're at it. /JediMindTrick

It's all in the eyebrows. Head down + eyebrows lowered = Burns; Head level + eyebrows up = "Yay!"

I tried to read Dune once, I just didn't like it. Put it down and never picked it back up again.

While the third movie is awful and the first movie stands far and above the best one, I'm going to ignore everyone and admit that I really like Matrix Reloaded. It's absurd escapist fun. But I never watch it because, I mean, come on, I can just watch the first one instead.

I've only seen the first Matrix film, because I didn't think it was that great. Brilliant photography/effects sure, but also Keanu Reeves.

Pilchard123 · « **Reply #320 on:** 09 Mar 2013, 14:04 »

Also known to the Scottish population as "Keanu Act".

Zebediah · « **Reply #321 on:** 09 Mar 2013, 14:55 »

But who else could have delivered the classic line "Whoa! I know kung fu!" with such feeling?

And yes, I realize that he never said that. He said "Whoa!" repeatedly, and he said "I know kung fu", but not at the same time. But he should have. (Insert remark about respecting headcanon.)

Akima · « **Reply #322 on:** 09 Mar 2013, 17:06 »

There are good actors and bad actors, and then there is Keanu Reeves, the un-actor.

I Liked him at "Point Break"; fuck me, right?

Aethien · « **Reply #324 on:** 09 Mar 2013, 17:31 »

I've never even heard of Point Break.

Then again, you can count the amount of movies I watch a year on one hand and half of those are me rewatching movies I've already seen.

WAYF · « **Reply #325 on:** 09 Mar 2013, 17:58 »

Funny thing; just before I came to this thread, I happened to be thinking about how terribly unsatisfying Keanu Reeves was as the villain of Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing.
(For those who are in the know, I think Sean Maher is going to do much, much better.

Point Break was a potentially great movie buried under formula.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #328 on:** 09 Mar 2013, 19:18 »

I haven't seen it, but I still find it hilarious that it was directed by Kathryn Bigelow, considering her last two movies.

Worst time machine ever; only accurate to the nearest day and lands you in that day at a point relatively later than your departure. Helps avoid collisions I guess, but really?

When last seen, the Phone Booth was run over by a Delorian and swept up and stuck in a trash bin next to a Police Box.

DSL · « **Reply #334 on:** 10 Mar 2013, 20:48 »

The DeLorean was swerving to avoid something that looked like the offspring of a Tiffany lamp and an airboat.

And it barely missed a blonde lady holding a pendant that was standing on the street corner in period clothing.

Oh. Dear. God. What? Also, why was the pendant standing there?

Also, all of those crafty devices named herein completely drove by the Phoenix Gate-

No, she was holding the pendant while standing there watching the car wreck.

And she's met the fellow in the police box before.

Of course, none of them noticed the bushy-haired brunette with the tiny hourglass and a bag full of schoolbooks looking around furtively.

Does that qualify for a "50-Delorean Pileup"?

Zebediah · « **Reply #341 on:** 11 Mar 2013, 06:39 »

Curiously, all 50 DeLoreans were actually the same car.

Carl-E · « **Reply #342 on:** 11 Mar 2013, 08:25 »

There were only 50 Deloreans. John kept on reselling them...

I see one with a bat on her chest, one with a little itty-bitty crossbow and one in a leather jacket and fishnets. Will any one of them do?

If you can actually catch any of them, yes, they'll do.
