Yet another reason CGI can fuck itself. Never looks half as cool as the real things

The two best CGI movies are still Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park. Any cries of 'but they had tonnes of animatronics in them!' will be met with the word 'EXACTLY!'.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I never counted Aliens as a CGI movie, I counted it as a FUKKEN AWSUM movie.
Oh crap, topic, yes.
Er, how fucked are we if the other goes, again?

I just found out my flight to Berlin is (tentatively) back on for friday, so either its getting better, or people are tired of all the frenchies and english in their countries and want them gone at any cost.
Wooo!

Don't look now, but I think there's something weird attached to the bottom of my posts.

I'd say it's more reminiscent of the cloud in White Noise... just to be contrary and all

Well the news is at it again. The Cloud has passed and the planes will fly again. That was immediately followed by another reported saying that there will be a second "Cloud" and this one will be worse. At this rate I'm expecting them to say Godzilla is coming.

That pic is wicked. Is it of Eyjafjallafuckyouicelandnameitproperly?
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Bad example in this case though. I doubt Peter Jackson could have told the studios that RotK would only be released when there was a convenient volcano eruption. Oh, and shooting it would have been fun, "Right, Sean and Elijah, if you'll just clamber up between those two lethal rivers of magma, and look all depressed and longing for the shire and shit, and we'll keep shooting until the lava cuts off your escape route..."

Yeah, but Sean Astin was in the Goonies and Memphis Bell, and is therefore not expendable.

He could use Elijah as a surfing board and ride down the lava flow!

I think it's very fun how all the news presenters here are just saying "The Icelandic Volcano" so they don't have to look stupid trying to pronounce Eyjafjallajökull

I can't read that in my head, let alone say it out loud. Tried to and the result was horrible.

Can you pronounce it Apt?
Also, Gothos....Polish names can be just as bad! hehe...and I'm reminded of one of Chopin's letters, to a friend back home, complaining about how foreigners pronounce Polish names.

That is just awesome. Now I can't help but picture that's how a mage battle between ascendants would look like.
To begin with.
Where did you find that picture anyway?
