Lit Apropos of Nothing - ACKBAR IN CAPITALS - The Lit Forum Social Thread, v2.0.15

Think Geek just announced some new pillows:


They've got BB too!

Curse you little freeloader!

 

-------------------------

I think that is what I mean

 

Arthur Adams got dinosaur hands more right in 1994 in the Trampling Tokyo comic than Jurassic World did.

 

Godzilla is not a dinosaur!

Do all large reptiles look the same to you?

Speciesist

 

Yeah, everyone knows that Godzilla is a mutated Godzillasaurus, that's just basic science fact.

 

Yeah but the raptors in Jurassic Park/World dodn't have a radioactive breath weapon, so lets call it a draw on the realism/accuracy front, shall we?

 

Now I want a feathered Godzilla. Less than feathered dinosaurs but still.

 

So.

 

I also want a hundred bucks.

 

And a ham sandwich.

 

Are we talking about the recently announced King Kong vs Godzilla movie? Or is this some random Godzilla tangent completely unrelated to what is actually topical? Because that's kind of weird.

Anyway.

REMATCH!

 

Mal aj akhuin minii mergejil bish yum, kharin bi bökh, uraldaan, tüükh, esvel kharvaa talaar tand khelj bolno!
Animal Husbandry is not my speciality, but I could tell you about wrestling, racing, history, or archery!
Oh, and some of the best Indie music out there at the moment:

 

I watched Marco Polo, am I helping?

 

My younger brother is getting married tomorrow! Thus starts a three day weekend filled with fun, family friends, good food, booze, more fun, more booze, even more food, sweet Jesus... the booze!

While my new suit & tie look pretty sleek and sharp... I kinda wish I could go dressed like my icon. Minus the Ackbar mask. It's gonna be hot in Carmel Valley this weekend!

Incidentally, my brother used to post here as AdmiralPatrick!

wait what

 

Eh... no. It's about as accurate a depiction of the era as Game of Thrones is the War of the Roses.
Or even more so; imagine a show about the Jacobite Revolution where all the Highlanders wear three-piece suits and have English accents. Oh, and Bonnie Prince Charlie goes around murdering random family members because drama.
There are more vague Orientalist stereotypes than actual elements of Mongol culture, or Mongol actors, for that matter.

 

All the Highlanders? I thought there could only be one?

 

Careful, he might take you seriously, too!

 

I take everything seriously.

 

Some random Godzilla tangent completely unrelated to what is actually topical.

 

I want to see a Jaeger and Godzilla beat up on King Ghidorah.

 

Considering that King Kong is usually around 50 feet tall and the newest iteration of Godzilla is 300+, I think it'd be somewhat one-sided, as Gamiel's picture suggests. Unless they size Kong up like Toho did for the original KKvG.

 

and/or give him electric powers




Or maybe they will use MechaniKong!

 

Oh man, that reminds me hardcore of Primal Rage. Do you guys remember that game? What a dumb game that I am definitely not still slightly obsessed with today.
