Two Random Things + A Poll = A Post

[snurri]

Humongous rodent fossil found. I like the Yahoo! News headline: "King of the rats weighed one tonne." You just know that those rats remember it, too. You can see it in their crazed, vengeful eyes. WE RULED THIS WORLD ONCE AND WE WILL AGAIN, they say. I've heard them. In my brain.

Castro lives. Not shown: a private photograph of the dictator thumbing his nose at Perez Hilton.

Today's Poll:

Sterling poll work recently. Keep it up!

[snurri.livejournal.com]

For some reason the poll inspiration comes in stretches. I'll do my best to keep on it.

I think I'd be more curious if the whole viral marketing thing wasn't so annoying. It's a giant monster movie. Trying to make it look hip and edgy feels slightly embarrassing, like some kid scrawling the name of his D&D character on the bathroom wall in the hopes the other students will all be wondering at who "Bladestar the Black" is when he goes in to pee.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

HA. That's exactly what it's like. It's also like the magic-in-a-bottle marketing campaign for "The Blair Witch Project," which people should know better than to try to duplicate.

[the-flea-king.livejournal.com]

Hahaha! Bladestar the Black. Apt comparison.

[the-flea-king.livejournal.com]

It has a giant monster. I don't care who's making it. My love for the daikaiju knows no bounds. Except for that stupid turtle that shoots flames out its ass.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Well, by that criteria, the Roland Emmerich/Dean Devlin "Godzilla" was worth seeing, and we both know that ain't true.

Right?

[the-flea-king.livejournal.com]

If you pretend it isn't Godzilla, I find it much more bearable. I really liked the CG and creature design.

I will not speak of the plot. Or the acting.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

It is an abomination and a sign of the apocalypse.

[the-flea-king.livejournal.com]

I have too high a tolerance of crap for my own good, I fear.

[infinitehotel.livejournal.com]

Have you seen D-War yet? Korean daikaiju, made in LA with b-list actors. Awful, and not in a good way.

[the-flea-king.livejournal.com]

Alas, I did watch it, but on fast forward. I didn't care for the creature design, and the acting was not even funny-bad.

But Gamera is a friend to children! All together now: Gamera is really neat / Gamera is filled with meat / We all love you Ga-me-ra!

I'll go if someone else pays, but I would sit peacefully because Janis from Mean Girls is in it and I've watched that movie so much that I think she is my close and personal friend.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Janis? The not-mean one that wears the tux to the prom?

[10yroldwhizkid.livejournal.com]

yes indeedy, the "art freak" herself

[snurri.livejournal.com]

I love her.

I knew that giant rat link would give me the willies, and yet I clicked on it anyway.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

This is all one subject, isn't it?

[scarypudding.livejournal.com]

I mean, it'd take a damn big rodent to actually bestride those prehistoric swamps. Unless they were really small swamps.

Re: This is all one subject, isn't it?

[snurri.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I'm comfortable with labeling Castro a daikaiju . . .

Re: This is all one subject, isn't it?

[scarypudding.livejournal.com]

Oh, I forgot about that part. Well, how about Perez Hilton?

Re: This is all one subject, isn't it?

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. He's totally . . . something.

Even if it's only there to throw popcorn at, I'm excited for Cloverfield, even if I hate myself afterward.

Lost's the only current show I go out of my way to watch, and JJ jumped in after Clover began and he's probably more involved in the hype-making than the film-making, but I have a visceral adoration for intimate apocalypses.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

I'm a lapsed "Lost" watcher -- they lost me a short ways into Season Two. It's true that Abrams didn't direct or write this film, so who knows? Maybe I'll check it out on DVD :-)

[readingthedark.livejournal.com]

i liked clover more than nihil or bmac.
