"This movie was made in Mongolia" and really it was filmed in Miami. Common mistake. The reviewer would probably get a slap on the wrist and have to pay the Inaccurate Mutant Fine (3 of Justin's favourite donuts). |

A Titan A.E. quote.... I knew I loved it here for some reason. "Who's your daddy? Gune's your daddy!" Oh by the way - Rich, where did you get your avatar from? He is the funniest cutest thing I've ever seen! I've literally just spent the last 5 minutes of my life watching his hypnotic dance, and I don't feel like that time was wasted one bit! ;D One last question for Rich. Who runs this site goonse.cx/ and will he/she/it let me host my image on there as well? |

There was once a bit of confusion between "Guatemala" and "Guadalcanal," but I think that's been fixed.
It's amazing though how many people can't make the distinction between opinion and fact. Even educated people. Some times I like to take an opinion opposite that of my room mates' just to hear them complain how my statement is inarguable while theirs isn't. Once I was told that American Pie is "one of those movies you just HAVE to see," and I said Lord of the Rings fits that bill better (I've never seen the former and he's never seen the latter, BTW). You've never heard such moronic things as they tried to invalidate one opinion while leaving their own, essentially identical opinion unscathed.
I've been weeping for the species since before Fox Animation was even formed. Copycats. I swear Hollywood has me bugged.

Hey, we never claim to be perfect or even of a set mind. I know I've changed my opinion on a film more than once. But, darn it, ALL films are made in Mongolia!

One last question for Rich. Who runs this site goonse.cx/ and will he/she/it let me host my image on there as well? Its a free image hosting service for members of the Something Awful forums, so unless you're a closet Goon as well, my guess would be no. |

Bladestarr, if you're looking for someone to host your avatar, I'll do it on my webspace. I think I'm hosting half the avatars in this Forum. Send me an email (BYOPunctuation):
poolman AT canada DOT com
(I'm on enough spam lists as it is)

That'd be cool Pooly.... and I appreciate it, but for some reason I feel more comfortable giving my image to a stranger to host.... something about the fact that I never like to feel as if I'm a burden on those that I consider friends. It's a problem I have. That and pie..... I love pie.... too much... mmmmm pie. ;D

"You used me, BladeStarr! You only wanted me for my bandwidth!"
Eh. Suit yourself. But if you don't find anything, let me know.

I just realized you have TEN TIMES the number of posts I do. Do you SLEEP?  ? By the way, you can call me Westley if you want, BladeStarr sounds... I don't know... so FORMAL... by the way, that was NOT a typo.... there is a T stuck in the middle of my name. I think my mom was high on those pregnancy drugs they give you... "Lesh put a T in hish name, see how that meshes him up, hahahaha".  |

Thank your mom for me--no matter the contorsions I put my face through "Wesley" always comes out as "Westley" for me anyway. It may have made your life hell, but it saved me fifteen seconds of awkwardness if I ever meet you. Yay!

I just realized you have TEN TIMES the number of posts I do. Do you SLEEP? ? I can't help it. I love this Forum. I helped BUILD this Forum. The people in here are undoubtedly one of the most civil, interesting, and cool online gangs the internet has ever known, and I take great pride in that. People can actually speak their mind in here without some 13 year old with a pair of crippled hands coming in and crapping all over their opinions. That said, no. I do not sleep. I am a vampire. So much so, in fact, that Rich will be reviewing my autobiographical film, "Interview With a PoolMan", when it debuts next month. |

The above is stated on a thread started by someone criticizing the site. Ahhhhhh tasty sweet irony! Also stating for the record I'm 100% behind Pooly on the above statement. I'd have more posts, but I just don't have much to say that's worth saying. |

Well, the whole thing about fact and opinion, the truth is, my opinion is always right, so it's fact, while everyone else's is wrong, so it's not. Well, then again, that's in my mind, right, because in my mind everything I think is right until proven wrong, so all my opinions are, in a way, right.
Yeah, I just confused myself. But Poolman has 1337 posts. Now that's just a stupid little fact that I realized.

GAH! Missed my 1337 post! Damn!
Ah well. I'm not into the whole screenshot thing, like they do on PA. It's all people with little screenshots of when they hit 666 or 1000 or 1337 posts. Kinda weird hobby, if you ask me.
