300, the game! Spartans vs Persians, old-skool!

Posted on by

300

So the movie 300 is a jingoistic, bombastic, cartoonish, homoerotic two-hour military recruiting video. I mean, they say that as if it’s bad!

Some demented and nostalgic genius has taken this simpleminded movie and given it perhaps the ultimate Generation X accolade; he’s made a Nintendo Entertainment System game out of it.

The reviewers should have just watched this instead of wasting ten bucks and two hours of their time. As for me, I could watch and watch…pot, Pearl Jam, and Doritos optional.

Well this one was actually a surprise: it’s the only published HPLovecraft story I’ve never read. It must be an omen…

Herbert West, Reanimator

Quiz: Who in Lovecraft’s Universe are You? 

You are Herbert West, Re-Animator, from the story of the same name. You create a potion that restores life-a bit like a cross between Jekyll-and-Hyde and Frankenstein. You are killed my mad zombies.

Hmmm, on the other hand I begin to suspect that the author of this quiz needs to learn more about birds and bees before she goes writing quizzes purporting to answer questions about squids and fish-eating and suchlike activities.

quiz: which Narnia character are you?

Posted on by

I would just like to point out that I scored just as high in Aslanishness as in Edmundification, for reference and so there, nyeah.

You scored as Edmund Pevensie. You are Edmund Pevensie. You are always getting into trouble and have a taste for “sweeties.” You care for animals, sometimes more than your family, and dislike criticism and bossiness. You can be very sarcastic and sometimes mean. Although your priorities shift, your heart ends up in the right place.
