I was gonna say that a Metal version of Robot Unicorn Attack would be dumb because the thing that made the game so fantastic in the first place was that it was super super gay but it turns out they kept that part so hooray!

I didn't really enjoy the metal version tbh. Lacks so much of the retarded charm of the original. The dolpins are no longer terrible distractions, the song doesn't babble meaningless rubbish at you and the unicorn exploding is to be expected rather than a total surprise. Exploded unicorns are totally metal.
Basically they took one of the most ridiculous flash games ever and made it lame.

Yeah. I know it's probably not the case, but if there is more of that comic/storyline I would totally read it.

Nicholas Cage Losing His Shit

snalin · « **Reply #3509 on:** 23 Nov 2010, 03:08 »

I haven't seen many Nicolas Cage movies, but from the millions of clips with him, he seems like a really bad actor.

I always thought it was kinda cool how Woody and Jessie were never more than friends. It would have been so cliché for the cowboy and cowgirl to get together. Besides, Woody seemed to have a woody for Bo-Peep. Meanwhile, Buzz was always such a gentleman to Jessie, and there's that whole "opposites attract" thing going on.

Which makes the fact that he got exactly one line to mourn for her loss in Toy Story 3 all the more unfair, but also makes the whole movie more of a reflection of dealing with the everyday reality of loss.

I think of Nicolas Cage like Al Pacino. Best used when given the opportunity to chew up the scenery.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #3512 on:** 23 Nov 2010, 03:50 »

I quite liked him in that one with Sam Rockwell where he found out he had a daughter but he didn't really.

Algernon · « **Reply #3513 on:** 23 Nov 2010, 04:38 »

The only good thing I've ever seen him in is Adaptation.

I really don't understand why he's famous. He's a shitty actor, and he's not even attractive to make up for it. What gives?

OH AND...this isn't relevant at all and I'm not sure if this is the right place for it since I'm a newbie and all—hell, I might even be breaking all the super-secret rules just by posting here—but this quote was too good to not share.

Isn't that the only kind of secret rule?

I mean it's a pretty terrible secret if you can just tell people y'know.

Incidentally, Nicolas Cage turned on the christmas lights here in Bath a year ago, was by all accounts three sheets to the wind when he did so, and fluffed the one thing he was meant to say. What sort of person, you may well ask, when required merely to say "Merry Christmas, Bath" gets the celebrated event entirely wrong and says "Happy, thanks, new year, guys."

Nic Cage, that's who.

Woody's voice got a little catch in it when he mentioned Bo-Peep. I agree that it was somehow unfair, but I liked it anyway. We got it. Many toys had "gone on" by then, and Bo-Peep clearly meant more to Woody than the others, but presumably that happened a while back, so he'd already done his mourning. At this point, there's just the memory, and I'm glad he mentioned her. TBH, I probably wouldn't have noticed her absence if he hadn't, but he did and it was nicely done.

Christmas lights, now with more metal.

Unfortunately I think it was a Tale of the Corps one shot, but he's popped up a few times in the Green Lantern stories

I just went and flicked through the current Guardians of the Galaxy storyline. Turns out Dex-starr first appeared in Green Lantern v4 #54 basically as Atrocitus' deputy, his origin was then published a month later in #55.
