Xander ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think it may have been that our expectations were too high, because my friend and I fully expected it to be our FAVORITE MOVIE EVAR!!!11!! but all the best parts were in the ads. Bah, I say, BAH.
Yeah, it's very disappointing. Particularly after seeing the live action Tick, or the Venture Brothers and knowing you can actually pull that stuff off with major funny. So much comic talent wasted in that movie.
All my creepy tentacled nightmare things are belong to sarameg.
Glad to be of service!
Oh, ha. It looks like the situation between my site and another site has deterioriated to the point where my bosses have selected a point-person to deal with all incoming requests. I think they think we're a bunch of incompetent slackers, and we think they're a bunch of high-strung, strident morons.
I mean, I'll still end up having to do the same work, but I just got a kick out of laughing at the new point-person's expense, for now he gets to parse their e-mail text, poor boo.
Edited because, heh, Raquel quoted too fast.

Liberal vs. Conservatives? Gen X vs. TwentysomethingsNow? The US vs Europe? Japan vs. the US? Cordy vs. Xander?
Damn, it's one of the 5 Classic Literary Conflicts.

In our case, it's a Sweet Christ We're Insanely Busy You'll Get It When You Get It vs. OMG You Suck We Want It Nooooooow I'm Telling Mom!

Exactly. This is the kind of conflict that can only be solved with a toga party.

Learn from the people you've worked with in the past and make their methods your own. Give the other site the work as fast as you can put it together, as wrong as possible—so as to cause them the greatest amount of delay in untangling it and figuring out what needs to be corrected.
Did someone say the Schiavo thing was over? Pandagon ( [link] ) seems to think otherwise:
On CSPAN this morning, Chuck Todd of the Hotline reported that Tom Coburn (Senatorial Nutjob - OK) is challenging the Terri Schaivo autopsy results.
BRAD Pitt and his pal George Clooney just inked a deal with nightclub nabob Rande Gerber to build a new Las Vegas hotel and casino. But while the stars don't have to put in a dime, they'll get a hefty slice of the proceeds."George and Brad are not putting in any money, but they will be getting a percentage of the profits," our well-placed insider says. "Brad will design the hotel and be the face of it with George. After 'Ocean's Eleven,' this makes perfect sense and the three of them are very good friends." Pitt and Gerber first started talking about the project two years ago and recently brought Clooney into the deal.

Nods head vigorously in agreement. Also, talk about wasted cast potential. Yes, you got Eddie Izzard in there. Now do SOMETHING with him. ANYTHING! Please! And make it more than one joke.
Insert Tom Waits for Eddie and repeat.
Insert Lena Olin for Tom and repeat.
Rinse, lather, repeat through 90% of that cast list.
