    Just finished watching Toy Story again. A few thoughts:

    * Wow, Mr. Potato Head was a jerk. First he makes a sarcastic quip about Woody going back in the attic, and then he's the first to accuse him of being jealous of Buzz being Andy's new favourite toy.

    *

    Barely a word needs to be said.

    * Oh, the things I missed as a child. That's typical of any good animation, but it's no less worthy here.

    * Technically, Sid wouldn't really be any different from your regular kid. Well, aside from being a bully and mentally unhinged, but otherwise that could just be passed off as an active imagination.

    * The Flying With Style scene is still as awesome as ever.

  • I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    ^
    Have you seen Toy Story 3?
  • You can change. You can.
    Part of the point is that Sid is the toys antagonists. AS we're sided with the toys because they're the coolest shit in town, we're bound to hate him.

    Also, there's the whole sociopathy angle and all that.
  • ^^I'll probably get to it eventually. Pays to get caught up in any case.

    ^Yeah. There's also the fact he mutilates his little sister's toys.

  • I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    Then again Sid created new toys with their own life from his mutilations.

    Also from his point they were just inanimate objects he could glue together for the lulz.
  • You can change. You can.
    Well, yeah, but he also created scenarios where he was mutilating them. Kinda like a kid who draws himself murdering people. 
  • I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    We all did that though.... right?

    ....right?
  • You can change. You can.
    ...yes. >.>
  • Kichigai birthday!!
    I didn't draw myself doing it
  • I remember not understanding as a kid why Sid was supposed to be the bad guy. As far as he knows, the toys are inanimate objects--if he knew all along that they were sentient, I doubt he would have mutilated them the way he did.

    ...Of course, I'm probably massively missing the point since I haven't seen this movie in like 10 years. I should re-watch it sometime.

    Has friends besides tanks now
    Happy birthday GLORIOUS!

    You're welcome, GMH.

    And speaking of, I taught myself the chorus line to "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" on clarinret today in a couple minutes. No huge feat, but if everyone else in the band can keep playing the sax riff of "Careless Whisper", I think I'm entitled to something. Though I did also work on the Baccano OP a while back and played that a bit.

    Oh gawd, unsexy saxmen.

    Sleepy Time.

    G'night IJBMers.
  • My parents: "We have cousins visiting from Mexico."

    Me: "We have cousins from Mexico?"

    Feels weird coming from a family that's Chinese AND multi-cultural (i.e. not racist)
  • Ninja is chinese? O_o
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    Should I pretend to understand what's going on on our forums lately?
  • But you never had any to begin with.
    Yes.
  • So we have cousins visiting from Mexico. Very strange to see a Mexican woman calling herself your cousin, it's...surreal to say the least.
  • Ha, I felt the same way when my tan-haired, blue-eyed, aryan-as-fuck cousin came to visit.
  • Surreal feeling, isn't it?
  • Bob, aren't you a depraved nazi though?

    Ok, that joke is getting a little bit too much even for me -_-

    I'm Irish, so I don't have any weird color'ed cousins.
  • MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    I'm Russian so some of my extended family are kinda asian-ish.
  • You can change. You can.
    I'm Colombian, so I don't know what is this about ifferent clutures.

    care to run that through me, again?

    The Hector games on steam are amazing, it's like you are a cross between Gene Hunt and the main character from Filth.
  • Kichigai birthday!!
    Downloading Audiosurf,trying to see if it works. Wish me luck!
  • Kichigai birthday!!
    Well, only the sound works,the image is blank

    I fucking hate this computer
  • Mr. The Edge goes to Washington
    After work on Friday, I got a call from the temp agency that my assignment ended that day. I got this call as I was driving home. I am currently unemployed. I hope to get work again soon, but I am a little worried. After all, I have a wife, cats, and bills. SO yeah...
  • ^ That's pretty crappy, the Edge, although from what I hear also fairly typical of temp work. Hope you find a new job soon.


    I went out this evening to a poetry evening with members of a local social club I'm thinking of joining. It seems OK, but most of them are quite a bit older than me. I seem to end  up socially either with much older or much younger people. I suppose everyone my age is too wrapped up with having kids to bother with going out.

  • When in Turkey, ROCK THE FUCK OUT
    Gracias, and my cake was delicious thankyouverymuch.
