Equipping an RPD with grip, Stopping Power and Steady Aim, along side semtex and an RPG-7 (with gold title) in COD:MW2 will get you called a brazen n00b (amongst other things) on XBox Live. So only do it if you can answer the whines, cries and boobird noises with consistent 25 to 35 kill games and a cold laugh while remembering that there is never a good excuse to die with a full clip when you have an RPD.
-
Wigan have gone down.
-
McDonalds is in fact not nourishing food. And neither is Taco Bell, no matter how many items with tomatoes one orders.

When your doctor tells you to eat more salads, he does not mean taco salads. Or ones from El Pollo Loco.

The Walrus is Paul.

Very similar to Cap'n Kirk's Enterprise self-destruct code in ST III: The Search for Spock. ;D

Good thing Spock didn't erupt and explode like the Genesis Planet planet did. That'd be messy.
-
That a lot of money has been spent on something, and I'm not entirely sure on what.
-
In the end, frankly, Rhett Butler just doesn't give a damn.
-
Ilsa gets on the plane to Lisbon with Lazlo.
-
Palpatine likely did know his former master Darth Plagueis' secrets to manipulating life itself, but it's entirely in his nature to allow Padame to die anyway, as he really, really enjoyed seeing everyone - especially his own servants - suffer.
And he didn't want Vader beholden to anyone besides himself, especially not someone who helped to organize the initial resistance to the Galactic Empire.
Basically, I just have to say, SPOILER ALERT: Palpatine was evil. :))

Bottled Evian Water is just Naïve spelled backwards.

It could be said that Andronicus fed the emperor and his wife their own crap, thoroughly debasing himself by devising and carrying out what has to be the most brutal metaphor to be conceived since Greek tragedy.
I quite can't bring myself to spoil it. Not even here.

-
If the Emperor is naked its a good bet his clothes are not really invisible.
-
The Ewoks are not to be trifled with. They are armed with sticks, stones, bows and arrows, and have been sprayed with the glossy holy glow of fiat. You will lose to them and it will suck, because you are an Imperial Stormtrooper, and you were born to this. Presuming the person reading this is in fact an Imperial Stormtrooper. If so, then know that they will use your skull-like helms as drums in their primal jubilation when you are gone and the Emperor has been killed by his own hubris and some help from an old friend in fading black.

Despite claims that a woman is to blame, it was in fact, my fault.

All John Rambo wanted was something to eat and to keep walking south to Portland.
If blame must be cast in this tragic case of inhumanity to our fellow man, I would say it was all Brian Denehey's fault that his town was reduced to ashes over the course of a weekend.
Get that man a cigar.

John Rambo is just a name on a wall. One of too many.

Not sure, but I know it's something of a cultural perception now. And it's certainly true that veteran soldiers have not always been treated with respect or even proper dignity, and from surprising quarters at times. Could also partially be a subtly evolved stereotype that has strains of urban legend that we all buy into, as well. Hard to say without busting rule four, anyway.
Highly under-rated movie, I feel, though it does have it's own cult following.
OK, spoiler alert! There is no History of the World Part II. Sad. :'(
-
Spoiler: A lot of Urban Myths have no basis in fact, unless they do. ;)

We make lots of jokes about pants (specifically, the lack of them) here on CBT, and they're all basically true.
-
Blackhawks won game seven in overtime. :)
-
But the lowly Wings put the fear of God into them. If the 'hawks lose a series to Anyone else this year, they are undeserving of having their legacies in the NHL breeding program. Good show, though. O0
Spoiler: Silent Bob gets to break his role with a lengthy and thoughtful soliloquy near the end of Chasing Amy.

Now that's the kind of talk that keeps you cleaning the Zamboni instead of rejoining the warrior caste as the pilot of one of our new Assault OmniZamboni's :o
Back on topic: the Romans copied a lot of stuff from other people
-
Spoiler: Silent Bob gets to break his role with a lengthy and thoughtful soliloquy near the end of Chasing Amy.
I like my Bob silent. But his version was still better than Affleck's remake. Gigli.

Silent Bob is the wisest of us all. Especially on the train and if you have no ticket
-
If you read The Bell Jar, then read Johnny Got His Gun right after that, don't be afraid to actively seek help for compulsive-depressive disorder (CDD), an affliction which I just now kind of made up, but dins with a distant ringing of truth nonetheless.
(edit: Wait... I forgot, someone else kind of made up CDD already. It's called Emo. ??? There's a spoiler of sorts for ya.)

Half the people you know are crazy, the other half are just sort of nuts. Now which are you?

Chop Suey is not real Chinese food, but an approximation invented by the military to prepare local good ole boys for Asian cuisine once they got over seas. However, Chinese Carryout as I know and love it would not be the same without it.

At the end of the video game 1942 by Capcom, when you finally beat it after 5 hours of playing what feels like the same 4 levels over and over, it slowly spells out C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S then dumps you at the title screen.
-
Ceti Alpha VI exploded.

Earth Mark II is blown up just like the original in Hitchhiker's Guide.

The Emperor forgets how he turned Anakin.

Luke and Leia are bro and sis. Puts that kiss in The New Hope into context don't it?

If you can keep your head when all about are panicked and all seems lost. You don't understand the situation.
-

Which based on actual historical timelines... is impossible, as the French princess was a bit young when Wallace was around...
Historical movies are most inaccurate.
-
So Leonidas didn't entrust the defeat of the entire Persian army to the Master Chief?
-
The master chief did not defeat the entire Persian army.
Just the Immortals.
This is Govan! Search YouTube if you need to ;D

The Forgotten Realms books are just not as good as they used to be. I mean whats up with all the devils running around now?

Indeed. Was discussing the many historical inaccuracies involved with that movie with others recently, too.

Uncle Owen was initially intended to be old "Ben" Kenobi's brother (this idea mentioned in print in the old Return of the Jedi novelizations), but that was later scrapped kind of quietly, as Owen became Anakin's step brother.

The asteroid that Han Solo planted the Millennium Falcon on - or, inside, rather - was not entirely stable, according to C3-PO. Han Solo himself told Threepio he was glad he was there to tell them those things.

I see no difference in this equation and my statement before, even less now that it's been dissected so succinctly ;)
But that's just me, maybe.
Cowboys as depicted in old west films had little or nothing to do with bovines. The romanticizing of this era by Hollywood and authors both entertains entire generations, and does much to cover for the actual stories of the end of the American manifest destiny period, which are often not as black and white as depicted in various expressions of popular art through the 20th century until now.

Some friends of mine and I, when we were bored, actually worked out that knowing is alot less then half the battle.
1- Acquiring the knowledge,
2- Knowing the knowledge,
3- Understanding what you now know,
4- Double checking the knowledge.
5- Developing a plan based on what you know.
6- Developing contingency plans based on what can go wrong.
7- Implementing the Plan.
8- Improvising when the plan falls apart from contact with the enemy.
9- Analyzing the aftermath of the battle to know what mistakes not to make again
10- implementing the successful tactics based on the knowledge into a new tactical doctrine.
I wish I could remember the full list of 36 parts....

These 10 are good spoilers for that list, though, so its just fine.

There are only two honest groups in the galaxy. Wookies and Mandalorians. The wookies you can trust and the Mandalorians aren't hiding the fact that they'd sell you in chains for the right price.
-
Surprise is half the battle.
Many things are half the battle. Losing is half the battle. Let's think about what is all the battle.
-
Half the battle is kicking your opponent while he is down. The other half is sucker punching before the fight truly begins. Who ever said a fight had to be fair? That's a spoiler for you.

Let's take the fight to them, gentlemen!

I actually had a dream once that the fan artists on the forums were given their own green Battlemaster icon. The dream then devolved into completely unrelated and irrelevant stuff, but I remembered that part of it.

According to the prequel trilogy, Sith also never lie, though they can be misinformed. Jedi otoh, could even be lying if their lips are not moving, as some possess telepathic abilities. When in doubt, just assume that the Guardians of Peace for Ten Thousand Years are lying, you will be correct.
Unless I am a Jedi, in which case all the above is a lie.

I refute you. According to Richard Hatch and Rob Liefeld, Commander Apollo and President Tigh find Earth via time warp. And Former Commander Adama meets the man he was named for. The leader of the thirteenth colony, Adam.
-
I refute you, that's either in a comic book or a novel. And while we all wish BSG: 1980 didn't exist, the fact of the matter is it does and predates any comic books or novels.

The last episode of the original BSG series, they were in deep space, and were walking away from an old, essentially, television
receiver. On it, when their backs were turned, was footage just coming in of the moon-landing.

Anastasius Focht is really Fredrick Steiner.
Focht was also a poet. "Anastasius" is from the Greek word meaning resurrection and, depending on who you ask, Focht either means "leader" or "sword fighter."

That Gandalf took nine walkers on a really long walk. Did the same for some dwarves a few decades earlier. Hasn't he ever heard of buying them some Horses or asking some Eagles for a lift?

Focht was also a poet. "Anastasius" is from the Greek word meaning resurrection and, depending on who you ask, Focht either means "leader" or "sword fighter."
Focht is close to the Belgian/Germanic word Voght, which also means "fighter/soldier" so I'm certain Focht is related to it and not so much leader, though he is certainly that. The root of it makes it rather close to the English term Housecarl.
That Gandalf took nine walkers on a really long walk. Did the same for some dwarves a few decades earlier. Hasn't he ever heard of buying them some Horses or asking some Eagles for a lift?
Those Giant Eagles represent Manwe, the lord of the winds and skies, who himself represents the will of Illuvatar, the One God.
So the Giant Eagles are actually a Dues-ex Machina in a very literal sense. O0 Not too many authors can get away with that.

In Fahrenheit 451, Montag finds the "three wise men" of a new era hiding in the woods well away from the city, where they can discuss poetry, philosophy, science and other literature and news of the day without fear of the Firemen finding them and ridding the world of the light that they harbor.
However, it is important to note that they are hiding and don't want to return, so this specific iteration of the three wise men motif indicates that they would allow the light provided by literature and reading to die with them them, rather than make a futile stand. Can't say I really blame them for that.

By contrast, Luke's father was wrong. It was by no means too late to save him. But even as he said that to Luke as they met on Endore, he felt the doubt at his own words, while quietly thinking of how best to use his son against the foul and hated Emperor, in order to supplant him as the true Dark Lord of the Sith (while also saving the life of his son, which he felt was all but forfeit with this "foolish surrender gambit").

Willow defeated the wicked Queen Bavmorda by banishing the young infant future Queen Elora Danan to a realm where evil could not touch her. The the idea of such profound magic sent the malevolent sorceress into a suicidal rage of arcane energies that consumed her entire being.
Yet, Willow - our hero in this grandiose morality tale - is in reality a charlatan, a well-practiced huck, and one who narrowly avoided being sent to the mines. Even his greatest triumph, the glorious battle with Bavmorda, reeks of taint. His unheard of magical feat turned to be nothing more than an illusionist's vanishing swine trick. Sure, this impressed his village, it never failed, in fact. Disregarding the awkward instances that it did indeed fail, of course. The old local 5th level hedge wizard was relieved that somehow, in some way, the prophecy was fulfilled. He had initially declined the journey, and sent Willow and a small party of local militia in his stead, but was perhaps more amazed than anyone else that his sometimes student had brought the curse upon the land to an end. And in his typical thrifty brand of gratitude, he rewarded Willow with a 20% discount on most potions, oils, and ointments on display at his small shop, a benefit that would not be applicable to purchases by other party members.
But not all eyes would see things in such a positive light, or so it soon would seem. On the harrowing and ancient rock-paved highway, the road to Tir Asleen, whilst returning to the very kingdom that he saved through trickery and deceit, Willow disappeared. Months later it would be reported that his pony was found, grazing on thistles and scrub near a crow's cage. Of the canny nelwyn, the ambitious illusionist that defeated the dark queen through cantrip and guile and nerve, nothing more was ever heard tell of or seen since.
The crossroads were always said to be a gray land. Many since have quietly whispered that the wastes simply saw Willow Ufgood as one of its own.

You know, neither of these did I ever think of as having "cheesy" special effects. The origin BSG had a budget, yes, but
it had a HUGE budget for a TV show. Its effects were actually fairly good for its time. Galactica 1980, however..... >:/!
Also, the same with Star Trek TOS. Those were almost movie level special effects each episode. Heck, look at Forbidden
Planet, a movie contemporary.
-
I tend to agree with the idea that the two shows were timeless in their own way, though I do also laugh at certain things. Original Klingon appearance, and the in-universe reasoning behind it generated years later, is kind of sketchy but the best they could do, I imagine. Tribbles. That floaty light patchy thingy that fed on hate. It was a flashlight shined on a wall, and they laughed it away in the end. The Space Cornucopia (edit: of Doom) O0
Some of these things evoke a big smile and a laugh. Original BSG worked wonders with their budget, I think. So did ST TOS. But I think the latter was more... ambitious in certain ways, such as showcasing a wide variety of alien life forms, almost one per episode. They shot for more, while BSG was much more story-driven.

Curly and Joe seem to be separate entities, assuredly. But "Curly Joe" is the amalgamation of both, suggesting that the Greater Curly encompasses the Lesser Joe. Only through time, and later rather inconsistent production, have they been blended to be the same. By way of contrast, Shemp we know is a fully separate individual, of course, like the prime three of the Three Stooges. But Joe's role is less clear, and was perhaps absorbed by the Greater Curly. It's easy to forget about details like that for sake of [attempted] spoilage.
