Agents of L.O.U.N.G.E. - - Part 80

[KRYPTON INC.]

People that do that have a shocking lack of self awareness and general sanity.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Couldn't some clever lad just come up with, I don't know, some kind of algorithm that would produce a paper that would impress 70% or so of most college professors?

Pretty sure people online have done that. If you're… that kind of person…. there are sites where you can buy papers from. However, as a teacher myself pursuing an education-related Masters, the hypocrisy would be too much for me, even if I got away with it.

Welp... There's the bare bones of a TWILIGHT ZONE episode right there. Guy who considers himself a moral man and is pursuing a masters in education is tempted when he comes across a website that can produce perfect thesis papers that impress all his college profs.

For you see, this tale is about hubris, pride, and the kind of comeuppance that may start in cyberspace, but ends up here, in The Twilight Zone....

…. Case in point….

^That's a great episode. Sure, Shatner's general style can come off campy, but it works in spades with a story like that.

I really wish there was more anthology TV out there these days. Hell, I wish something like PLAYHOUSE 90 was being produced.

I know SYFY has a series based on METAL HURLANT, but I've yet to bother with it. I actually liked many episodes of the 90's OUTER LIMITS.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I can't believe how ahead of its time both Twilight Zone and Rod Serling was. I would have loved to see how he would have handled the freedom (both censorship wise and budgetary) that running a modern-day HBO or AMC series would have given him.

 

[Lord Valumart]

Star wars day *****es!!!

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

^What do you suppose George is up to on STAR WARS DAY?

 

[Lord Valumart]

I think he goes Scrouge McDuck-ing...

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Locates a newspaper laid somewhere on a chair in the park?

 

[KevanG]

I think he just stays home and ignores everyone.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Due to the terms of his pact with Satan, I think he works on the long-awaited Jar Jar Binks Christmas special.

I want to see this so badly I'm going to buy two blu-rays if that happens

The worst thing so far about Clone Wars, and yes I've only just started the first series, is the constant inclusion of Jar Jar.

Oh my God. Are you serious? They really haven't learned anything, huh? There's some defenders and fans of Phantom Menace (certainly not myself), but even among them I've yet to find one person who actually has professed a like or love for JarJar. He literally doesn't have a single fan, except the people at LucasFilm apparently, who are still trying to make him "happen" even 15 years after becoming one of the most hated characters in cinematic history.

He's been in like three or four episodes, but my god is it awful.

[Lord Valumart]

The CGI on Jar Jar is just awful.

There's a more important holiday than Star Wars Day and it falls on September 22nd.

 

[Lord Valumart]

Talk like a Pirate Day is September 19th you idiot.

 

[sabetoonth]

I actually fell asleep in this chair last night

Please don't tell me that's your birthday. It's not all about you, DS.

 

[jonathancrane]

Morning, everybody.

How is your Sunday faring?

 

[sabetoonth]

Not bad, could be far worse, but I'm developing a sore throat

 

[Fallen Angel]

Ive been up for the last 19 hours after watching boxing in the early hours of today and I don't feel tired.

I'm scared.
