Guest Imladil Posted January 1, 2000 Share Posted January 1, 2000 Little Jimmy's Top Ten New Year's Resolutions: 1: I will stop trying to smuggle explosives across the Canadian border. It isn't fair to get poor Conor involved, anyway... 2: I will not shoot down Kasan <font size=1>too often.</font> 3: No more podracing in my Honda Civic. 4: If mysticism, religion or spirituality in general come up, I will feign ignorance. (An easy one to pull off. ) 5: I will quit stealing my girlfriend's flashlight to play lightsaber with the boys. 6: No more Star Trek <font size=1>from 4:00 am to 4:05.</font> 7: I will not cut people's heads off if they annoy me on the Internet. 8: No more silly posting! <font size=1>(Yeah, right...)</font> 9: If foreigners offend the other forum users through cultural miscommunications or erroneous misconceptions of linguistic nature, I will not try to help them. 10: I'll stop spreading all those rumours about Y2K now that the joke is over... ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the pink hairless monkey "Where do cats think catfood comes from?" --Little Jimmy [This message has been edited by Imladil (edited January 01, 2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rebel_jediknight Posted January 2, 2000 Share Posted January 2, 2000 I found these in a bunch of top ten lists from the website FireFly posted a link to and picked the best ones. I nearly died laughing the first time I saw them. Enjoy! (The ones in gold are my own.) Things you'll never hear a Borg say: I just trans-warped in from the homeworld, and boy are my arms tired. Group hug! Anybody here from out of town? You, sir, you look like you've just recently been assimilated... The name's Borg, James Borg. Boy is it expensive being assimilated. It cost me an arm and a leg! I hear the Borg Queen uses Head and Shoulders shampoo. You're looking a little pale. Whenever we assimilate a ship we always like to put up new curtains. I am Flintstone of Borg; Yabba Dabba Doo!!!!!!!! I did it my way. You've come a long way, Borgy. Lower your shields and prepare to be assimilated. Have a nice day! You couldn't pay us enough to add Neelix to our collective consciousness! I still think a Borg Octagon would work better. Resistance could be fairly effective. Where did they put the bathrooms on this cube? Use the Force, Locutus!!!! Hello Boys and Girls! Remember even though we're assimilated, Barney still loves you. Let's sing! We love you, you love we. We're a happy Borg family....... Thank you for calling the Borg Collective. All our drones are with other victims. Please stay on the line, your assimilation is important to us. It may work during assimilations, but "Resistance is futile" is a lousy pick-up line. Do you think I could get a date with C-3PO? Ok, you're on a desert island. Who would you rather assimilate, Janeway or Seven of Nine? You know, I really hate my job... feels like I'm just a number. Borg Queen this, Borg Queen that... What about *my* needs?! I dialed 1-800-COLLECT and saved my hive 45%! Six of Thirteen, you've just assimilated Earth and destroyed the Federation. Whatcha gonna do now? "I'm going to Disneyland!" Would you like fries with that, Sir? Be are the Worg! Resikance is Flutile! <font color=gold>Hello sir! I am 4 of 6, human cyborg relations. I am fluent in over six million forms of assimilation. We are the Borg. You will not be assimilated. Resistance is futile... oh, never mind. Could we retake that? Wonderful! You are now part of the collective.</font> ------------------ What- You think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? --------- We're doomed!

Guest Imladil Posted January 11, 2000 Share Posted January 11, 2000 It's an expression of the futility of a technological database-driven consciousness trying to assimilate a transcendental non-physical power source. See?

Guest Imladil Posted April 14, 2000 Share Posted April 14, 2000 Little Jimmy's Top Ten Sci-Fi Movies (and why): 1: Star Wars Obviously, because this is a Lucasarts site, and the great bearded Jedi holds more sway than even Bill Gates hereabouts. Also, because it introduced a new standard in the cinema special effects field. 2: Strange Days An interesting look at the concept of biological and technological integration, and its effects on a modern society. Also a good look at the Y2K hysteria, which we are quickly forgetting. 3: The Fifth Element I don't care what anyone says, I thought it was a very artful movie, well-crafted. A good example of what can be done with computer generated effects. 4: Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan Still the best Star trek movie in my opinion. It was also the first time we got to see the Enterprise all shot up. 5: Total Recall Simply a well-written story (by Phillip K. ****) that makes good use of sci-fi principles. The ultimate 'where are you now?' movie. 6: Independence Day It's about time they did an alien invasion movie that wasn't stupid. 7: Highlander Not a sci-fi film at all, but sci-fi people all seem to like it. The Highlander films and the teevee series that followed were an excellent demonstration of different sword types and how they were used in hand-to-hand combat. 8: Starship Troopers Just a lot of good, clean violence. Everyone likes gunfire and explosions. 9: Solar Crisis A fairly unknown film about a mission to stop a solar flare from frying the Earth. Well worth tracking down. 10: Back to the Future 2 The best of the BTTF movies, and the one that actually tells most of the story. These three films taken together are a wonderful example of time travel sci-fi. <font size=1>Whew. So there.</font> ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the transliteral "a lot of people got sick from drinking seawater before the early humans developed language." --Little Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imladil Posted April 14, 2000 Share Posted April 14, 2000 You know...if I were the famous writer Phillip K. ****, I would be most offended by this infernal computer's 'starring out' of my name.

Guest Imladil Posted April 16, 2000 Share Posted April 16, 2000 I'm sorry, Ike. I remembered it the next morning, when I was in the shower. It certainly should be on the list. I guess Little Jimmy will just have to stay up late for one more movie! 11: The Matrix Being a fan of 'dark' movies, where the good guys face terrible odds, I choose this one as a top example. Also, it boldly brought a spiritual dimension to the sci-fi screen and pioneered the 'virtual camera' technique of special effects. Anyone have an idea for number twelve? ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the transliteral "a lot of people got sick from drinking seawater before the early humans developed language." --Little Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest garyah99 Posted April 16, 2000 Share Posted April 16, 2000 One of my favourite movies of all time is a classic from 1956 calle Forbidden Planet. Starring Leslie Neilson and Anne Francis. Very cool movie. ------------------ Every time I think I've found the end of the rainbow...I trip over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imladil Posted April 18, 2000 Share Posted April 18, 2000 Now, classics would have to be a different list. I haven't seen enough of the old flicks to make such a list, but I would have to nominate The Fly (the original, not the one with Jeff Goldblum.) It should be noted that of all the sci-fi genre, it is the Star Trek saga which has its roots in the classic era (bug-eyed monsters, analog special effects, etc.) and is continuing on to today. But who knows? Maybe someday, the 'classics' will be the pre-CGI films, and it will be Star Wars which holds the same distinction. ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the Bouncy "SSD, VSD, ISD...if it looks like pizza, but I don't want none--it's a star destroyer!" --Little Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fondas Posted April 20, 2000 Share Posted April 20, 2000 Although I do not agree with the list above , at least not entirely, I have to ask on what ground should the "Top Movies" should be judged...Breakthrough in SFX ? Scenario ? Acting ? Anyway, I <u>strongly</u> believe that these movies are definitely TOP TEN 1.Metropolis The pioneer 2.Blade Runner do I need to say more ? 3.Terminator 1&2 Especially T2 was the first movie to make extensive use of the morphing technique ------------------ "So be it ...Jedi" - Emperor Palpatine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imladil Posted April 20, 2000 Share Posted April 20, 2000 I guess the only criteria was whether or not Little Jimmy liked the film in question. I'll buy into Blade Runner being on such a list. Although I thought they could have done more with the setting and interesting social conditions than the story they did tell, it's still a film noir standard in the sci-fi pantheon of depressing futuristic movies. Just as long as no one tries to nominate Event Horizon! Jeez, that movie stank... ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the Bouncy "SSD, VSD, ISD...if it looks like pizza, but I don't want none--it's a star destroyer!" --Little Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
