    Now when the site is about to become /.ed, those ads are sure to come back.

    Hm, that sounds like a business plan: Create a nifty site, get it mentioned on Slashdot and then fill it with ads just in time for the /. effect to hit the adservers. Free money! :-)

    Man, it's a good think I'm sitting here alone, drunk on a Saturday morning at 2:17 AM PST, 'cause I got a good look at the thing before it got Slashdotted.

    Er, okay, that sounds even more loserly than general, doesn't it?

    Anyhow, very good stuff. I mean, it was a little lame at times (yeah, Pulp Fiction seeded with Star Wars terminology!), but I'm definately sending it to my non-geek friends when the /. effect wears off. Then again, I'm pretty loaded, so this is opinion is obviously open to revision sometime tomorrow morning around 11.

    Crap, I'm getting modded down for this, aren't I? Oh yeah, well my UID is lower than yours, smart guy.

      Ugh, what was I thinking last night? I haven't mixed alcohol and computing since that time in college when I changed my root password and couldn't remember it the next morning.

  4. Parody? by jmd! · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Wow, these are pretty bad. They didn't really even change any of the plot, or dialog. Just substituted in SW characters doing Pulp Fiction line for line.

    If you want Pulp Fiction, go rent it. If you want a SW parody, go rent Space Balls.

      Yeah, but doing Dance #4 should keep a lot of the Natelie Portman trolls occuppied for weeks to come. You can't tell me that's a bad thing.

      Besides, it's more the flash animation that the dialog that keeps the whole thing interesting. The image of the Queen Amidala character ODing is art in itself, at least as much as the stuff hanging on the walls in museams. Besides, the fact that it uses a lot of Pulp Fiction is a great example of the value of Constitutionally-protected parody, ain't it?

      And my UID is still lower than yours. Damn, I'm loaded.

      I've got a better concept. Do a remake of David Lynch's DUNE - but instead of the regular cast I suggest a MUPPET cast. Put Gonzo in the role of Paul Atreides, Fozzie as Thufir, Miss Piggy as the Baron, Kermit as Feyd, Janice as Reverend Mother Ramallo, Sam the Eagle as Emperor Shaddam IV, Lew Zealand (the boomrang fish guy) as Gurney Halleck, Doctor Teeth as The Baron's Doctor, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew as the Head of the Spacer's Guild, etc...

      There is enough cast to transfer between both movies and the casting is the most fun in this case. It would require a slight alteration in dialog to fit the MUPPET character types, but that is also the fun bit as well.

      It's time to play the music,
      It's time to harvest the spice,
      It's time to get things started,
      It's time to light the lights,
      So let's use the weirdo way,
      Why don't we take the spice?

      It's sensational,
      Persperational,
      This is what we call the "Kwisatz Haderach".

  5. Get Rid of the Splash Intro on Each Episode, Gah! by pryan · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Okay, I got through about five issues before I couldn't stand it anymore. I've seen Pulp Fiction many times, I've seen Ep.I. No change in dialog wore on me, but the drawing is someone stimulating.

    I suppose I would have gone through the whole thing if it weren't for the splash intro for each episode. Gah, I admire the person who went to the effort, but create a set without the splash intro for each issue!
