Kalloon Wotterson. Hehe.

You mean "White" wasn't your last name? XD

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 12:13 am

I like "Wotterson" a lot better.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 10:22 am

Wotterson sounds silly. not in a necessarily bad way.
I really like white though. :U

In other news, I like animated avatars.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 12:26 pm

It sounds like "water"! And has "otter"! Like Bill Waterson, too. ^_^

Animated avatars are cool. I need to get me one.

I would make an awful moderator because i would always edit posts to fix code typos.

Post by **Dissension** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 4:26 pm

I've done that before. People generally appreciate it.

Tue Aug 02, 2011 4:28 pm

I almost did that, Psyke. I decided against it though. ^_^. but only because I was lazy.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 4:37 pm

And the third of three moderators isn't lazy.

*waves*

Post by **Dissension** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 4:38 pm

I let you do that on purpose.

But what if they intentionally did the coding wrong? While I can't imagine anyone would ever do that, it's something to consider.

Making intentionally wrong codes? Hmm sounds like an interesting way to "encrypt" the source code of some page, leaving a million mistakes so that hackers can't identify the correct part. Jussayin.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 6:27 pm

Pea, I was tempted to replace your whole post with "I smell!"

I wonder if it counts as abusing power if it's against other moderators. *giggles*

Tue Aug 02, 2011 6:29 pm

and I was tempted to edit in the answer "yes, that's abusing power." Sleet.

That's how they programmed BROTRR

I don't think this is very relevant Sleet, but thank you for sharing I suppose

Also, while we're almost on the subject, I'm just going to extend an open thanks to you guys on the forums for being rather agreeable when it comes to rules and such. I'd kind of forgotten that that wasn't normal.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 9:15 pm

I'll have you know I smell delightful.

I smell manly, because I smell like Isiah Mustafa. (I refuse to admit I also smell like Fabio)

Only toothpaste cigarettes. They're terrible for you, but they do leave you feeling minty fresh.

Oshawotterson. :3

Can't wait for the Texas Twister tournament this weekend! Oh, but I've gotten my tail handed to me by our work-outs lately. >.<

oh mu gosh i haven't played twister in foreverrrrrr that game is so fun.

also this is something people might want to know just gonna leave it here kthnxbai

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:07 pm

I think there needs to be a universal law on sequels that, starting with the fourth in a series, quality control increase exponentially. Or they, y'know, end the series. Sequels aren't inherently bad, but there seems to be a strong mindset that brand familiarity alone can carry a film.

I've never seen King Fu Panda, but I can't say I've seen very many movies that deserve five additional installments.

Also I'd forgotten that they'd made a second Madagascar... seeing the 3 there threw me off a bit.

so... much... sequel. (seriously? Kung Fu Panda 6?)

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:10 pm

Oh my God, why on Earth are they working on six Kung Fu Pandas?! They're going to kill it...

Shh, don't give away the ending.

...that was a joke. I hope.

Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:12 pm

to be fair, I think they need to plan far ahead for this kind of animation. if one of them fails, they won't start production of the next.

KalloonWhite · Post by **KalloonWhite** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:15 pm

I would like more Kung Fu Panda, but I think 4 more is a bit over the top.

Blue Braixen · Post by **Blue Braixen** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:37 pm

I never even saw the first two!

But yeah, too many sequels can just run a franchise into the ground. But as Psyke pointed out with Shrek, they can still make quality movies in different environments as long as the characters don't undergo some rapid, unexplained change and the locales are different (though a changed, i.e. destroyed or more prosperous version of a familiar locale would do).

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:40 pm

I don't think Shrek's sequels have the same feel as Shrek did. The original had a fun kind of twisted folksy feel.
The second one was too zany and felt downright anachronistic to the first, the third one was too boring and felt kind of empty, and the fourth one was too nobody-saw-it-y.

Post by **Dissension** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:42 pm

I have to agree with CaptainPea.

(Imagine the above as a '50s-style advertising jingle!)

Blue Braixen · Post by **Blue Braixen** » Tue Aug 02, 2011 11:44 pm

That can also depend on change in writers or their laziness. And let's not forget actor swaps, budget constraints, and so on.

(Who writes this crap? Oh yeah, me. *giggles*)

on a side note, I also need to watch How to Train Your Dragon.

they definitely didn't have the same feel, but none of them were "bad." It was like you could have taken any of the plots and had different but similar characters play them for each individual movie and not seem like you're not good at coming up with new ideas. They're really not unoriginal, they're TO original. none of the sequels to any of their movies fit the feel of the previous movies, but they like to make a franchise out of it, so they puzzle together plots that aren't similar in the same movie series.
(I want to see me and my shadow more than any of the other things, by the way)

hey.

your using the same picture, we're looking at the same thing, we're associating you with the same character and pose.
