I fell in love with the herp derp browser add on that turns youtube comments into herps and derps (you can see them anyway by clicking on them) but I saw a lot less bile on these comments than I was used to.

download for every reasonable browser:

Now I need one for the TTG blog.

I've determined that free food is the best thing since sliced bread. And will likely be the best thing until free sliced bread.

The reason I say this? Lunch and dinner were free today.

A reminder that George Lucas is a badass

For people and comedy websites that are fueled by pop culture, the mere mention of George Lucas offers endless amounts of ammunition, most of which is targeted toward George Lucas. But regardless of what anyone thinks of the man and his place in the pantheon of awesome, in his civilian life, Lucas is perfectly capable of producing moments of greatness.

Until recently, Lucas spent a lot of time, money and effort trying to build a huge digital media production studio on his property in Marin County, California. The project was going to create around 600 high-paying jobs and bring loads of revenue to local businesses. Too bad a good chunk of his neighbors reveled in riches themselves, and as such didn't give a crap about business or, for that matter, jobs. They vehemently opposed the project, claiming that it would bring too much traffic and noise, not to mention so much light pollution that their "dark starry skies would be destroyed."

That's an actual quote, by the way.

For a whopping 25 years, Lucas tried to build the property. Although he did secure small victories here and there, he was constantly swimming against a current of "not in our backyard" arguments.

Then, in the spring of 2012, Lucas officially stated that he would give up, sell his property and take his business elsewhere. However, his opponents' cheers died in their throats when he announced the second half of his plan: He had sold his land to a nonprofit organization called Marin Community Foundation. According to their deal, the foundation would build the area full of something the county was in dire need of, but had for some reason been struggling to find space for: low-income residential housing. As in, the projects.

The foundation praised Lucas, but the rich residents were less thrilled. Their initial reactions were absurd shrieks of nonsense that showed the entire world how far removed from reality they were: Lucas' action was "class warfare." The housing project would throw the whole area into a state of "sheer terror." They even, we kid you not, compared the situation to the conflict in Syria. You know, because everyone worse off than you is just waiting to storm your home with a rocket launcher.

Alas, after the initial shit-flinging had died down, there seemed to be precisely jack shit the jackass neighbors could do about the project besides choking quietly on their bile.

And that, friends, is how a famous pop culture icon defeated a wealthy, villainous clique while helping a bunch of poor people. Wait, holy shit. That's the plot of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, isn't it?

He still drove both his franchises into the ground.

I'd call Indiana Jones untapped, if anything. It's a premise that could have so many neat stories.

Or the guy who constructed a foot wall steel and cement barrier around a bull dozer, mounted automatic weapons on said cockpit and then proceeded to shrug off bullets and explosives in his newly christened "Killdozer".

Not this conversation again. Look, just because he can do something doesn't mean he should.

Cool story, though. My respect for him (as a person) just went up quite a bit.

Not as a director, though. He still sucks as a director.

GaryCXJk · 10/11/2012, 06:29 am

You know, if I could milk the fuck out of my own products I would. Just because I could.

But alas, I do not have products.

*Jennifer* · 10/11/2012, 08:16 am

I'm always changing and updating the stuff I make.

I'd love to have an IP that was popular enough to be a franchise. I'd definitely milk it too. Toys, clothing, movies, games, television series, crossovers, breakfast cereals. That'd be awesome.

Chyron8472 · 10/11/2012, 08:38 am

It's not the milking of the franchise that bothers me. Mostly, it's the unnecessary changes to the original trilogy. Any other movie, if it were changed, the production company would provide both versions.

And don't tell me that the letterboxed laserdisc transfers on the 2006 bonus DVDs are acceptable.

Also (though unrelated to changes/milking), the prequels require fan edits in order to be watchable.

The

"Announcement" are annoying I don't even play walking dead! Why is there no walking coolsome announcement I walk!

Secret Fawful · 10/11/2012, 02:39 pm

Is it wrong to want to murder all of your old classmates?

Oh, and Ridley Scott opens his big stupid mouth again and confirms Deckard was a Replicant again.
