What are you...

Watching: Galaxy Quest (again)

I want ice cream

Or I just have a different opinion of what's a bad military movie? Take it easy, chief.

Overreact much?

Worse military movies off the top of my head? Try Basic with Travolta and Sam Jackson (I still don't know what the frak was going on with Jackson and his poncho-cape thing.)

They were trying to make him look like Caesar:

You ever wear a poncho? One of the ones the Army issues? T'Sara can back me up here: they're hot as hell, uncomfortable, and really loud (pure plastic and all). Honestly, I don't think we ever wore the stupid things while in the field unless we were basically "in the rear, with the gear" 'cause of how loud they were. Plus, it kind of defeated the purpose of him wearing it like that since his BDUs would get soaked with rain ('cause he's wearing his poncho funny). Ah Hollywood...

Another really crappy military movie is Firebirds. Tommy Lee Jones and Nicholas Cage (whom I generally can't stand anyway). Such a pity that the wondrous helicopter that is the AH-64 got stuck in this turkey...

Frik yeah.....I hated that Damn poncho.

I only had to wear the damn thing in basic....thank the gods.

The times I did have to wear it?

I felt like a noisy Ewok....who was souped up like Rambo.

Yes, I actually have fond memories of it keeping me warm and dry during FTX. I actually wouldn't mind getting one now, but they're always too expensive.

I've never really seen the point of that movie.

Uh ... what? Ponchos don't keep you warm. Are you talking about the Gore-tex gear? 'cause I'm talking about the nylon ponchos that don't keep you warm or dry...

[CX]

I guess mine kept me dry. Warm came from those MRE heaters, even if they did stink, because the poncho kept the heat in.

Watching: Stealth (cuz y'all made me wanna watch it )

[TPoptarts]

Heh I'm gonna watch it again. I'm not a military person so I don't care and I actually enjoyed its sci-fi aspect and watching everything go boom.

Sorry Rigil

[evcake]

Watching: one of my favorite anime; Witch Hunter Robin
Loading: my MP3 - Harry Belafonte, Troubadors of British Folk, Dusty Springfield, and a soundtrack called In Search of Angels.

Playing: bookworm first time. Like what the frell is up with that game?? I mean like what does it have a "submit" button for if it just submits like whenever the hell it wants to without even letting me complete a longer word?? (for example it submits "see" before it lets me complete "seen" etc etc )

But at least I found a good word

[TPoptarts]

^ Oh yeah and did anyone else notice it can spell "f*ck" from 2 different directions.

(why am I being censored?? )

It can have kind of a hair trigger sometimes, especially if you're going fast.
As for the f-word, it will accept a couple of archaic synonyms...
It accepts a lot of olde wordes, come to think of it.

[TPoptarts]

Well it won't accept "frell"

[evcake]

Nope, nor "dren," nor "frak," nor "frell." I know, I've tried...
