Oddly enough, I remember rather liking Moon as a teen. Clearly my tastes have changed.

When I was a teen I liked Message to Garcia. Ugh.

I assume this means asking me for the time and then wetting his pants.

BWAH! So don't wear great shoes. Just in case.

I know this is a place in which we can freely confess our sins, but I really admire your bravery for admitting that one.

All this discussion is making me anxious for WF DVDs. Any idea of a date yet?

At least there is visible progress on the BDM. This makes up for much. ::happy sigh:: I think I actually may have figured out how to follow threads on the OB, although I've totally given up on FFF, and count on the kindness of others to post links or xpost.

Um, yeah. When I was very young (like, second grade) it really made me mad when kids didn't follow the rules of the playground. So had this attitude that if only everyone followed the rules and otherwise did what they were supposed to, the world would be a better place.

Years later, of course, I started to question who makes the rules and who decides what people were "supposed to do."

It's one of the nice things about growing up. Like finding out that I don't have to like drumsticks or chunky peanut butter, just because I grew up with them as the default best. It was so nice when I discovered creamy peanut butter. Yum!

So you've got a small prison mining colony forced to buy all goods and services from the company 'sto at inflated prices designed to never allow the workers to get ahead (cue Johnny Cash).

People get sick and tired of it all, and want to be able to shop at Costco.

So then Hottie Militant Chick (can we get Jennifer Connolly to eat a few cheeseburgers, get her curves back, and maybe some Linda Hamilton T2 muscles to play Wyoh?) is SO HOT that Bruce Willis from the Fifth Element falls in lurve and becomes Jimmy Stewert in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and decides he will MAKE A DIFFERENCE, mostly to impress Jennifer Connolly, at first, but then also because he has CHANGED! He BELIEVES IN THE MISSION!

The movie is filled with shots of Jennifer Connolly in a white t-shirt and no bra getting Sprayed Down with Various Liquids. This makes her Slippery and Difficult to Rescue when she keeps clumsily getting herself caught by Enemy Mashers.

Sprinkled throughout, crazy ass Sir Anthony Hopkins from the last third of Legends of the Fall plays the Wise Old Grampa who has Wacky Anarchist Ideas.

Meanwhile, the Cold Guvmint Stormtroopers try and stop the band of Free Trade Pranksters from dumping the tea in the Harbor to protest all this Taxation Without Representation.

And so, that's the premise of Moon, as brought to you by the Hollywood Machine.

I know not what Tim's plans are. But if he gets stuck, he can have my Hollywood Machine idea for some Chinese Take-Out and his DVDs of Profit.

I suffered from this one myself. I obeyed the rules, after all, and then people kept doing things like getting in line ahead of me and taking the last cookie. Now I believe that if everyone obeyed my rules, the world would be a better place.

If I could chuck one, it'd be Totem Mole. Cocktail Bunny, Crime Dog and the finale are my favorites.

In my limited viewing, the one I'd chuck is "Wound-Up Penguin," no question. I find it hard to pick a favorite, because "Wax Lion," "Karma Chameleon," and "Pink Flamingos" are very good in very different ways. I do have an irrational love of "Karma Chameleon," though, since I spent a lot of energy defending it on TWoP. And "Muffin Buffalo" cracked me the hell up, as well as made me think. I want to see the others, dammit!

They're still aiming for December, and are in the process of replacing the music right now. Apparently it's all going well. Hopefully the people who go to the thing tonight will ask some good questions about it and let us know what's said!

Yeah, I found it weaker than the others, too. Initially I didn't like "Karma Chameleon," either, but it's really grown on me. And I think you'll love most of the ones you haven't seen -- the episodes just get better and better as the show goes on.
