Amused Nerdery

I love that TNT and SpikeTV are having a Nerd Off ... one is showing Lord of the Rings all day and the other is showing Star Wars

I can't imagine trying to watch LotR on TV. The movies are long enough as they are before you start adding advertising to them.

OTOH, it can't be as bad as the time FOX aired Pulp Fiction...

[amalthya]

Haha. Did they have to censor every third minute?

And we've been watching the trilogy all day while doing other things. Thankfully, the commercials are "limited"

[dshadow]

As I recall, besides the incredible censoring, they also shuffled everything around so that the movie barely made sense anymore.

[amalthya]

Considering how loosely put together it was before (most people couldn't comprehend the timeline originally) it's not surprising! But why in the world would they shuffle it?

...Please do not commit accidental suicide by stove; I'd hate for the police to come in after you're reported missing and find the cats gnawing on your body. At least not for many, many years, since I'm sure it will happen eventually. Speaking of eating, is Jesus Taco actually holy? Can you kill a Vampire by staking it with one of their Chimichangas? Is their salsa made with Holy water?

[amalthya]

I'll commit stoveicide if I so desire! And man, those cats probably WILL eat me.

I don't actually know how holy Jesus Taco is. Next time you're over, we'll order in from them and find out. If I burn from the inside out, we'll know.

Until it closed recently, my Chinese delivery Place of Choice was called "Jackie Chan".

[amalthya]

Eeugh. He doesn't sound particularly edible. Maybe a little stringy.

And we usually order from "Empire" which is Chinese AND Japanese food. (don't ask me how that works)

[lilinthra]

Ah, but their Drunken Master Noodles were quite good.

...or they would be if they actually had such a product.

Maybe they're trying cigarette marketing.
