tsukikage[23:16] 月影: God help me - I'm watching the Star Wars HOliday Special right now...
[23:16] 月影: And yeah, it's as bad as they say
[23:16] Mike: i've never seen it... just heard stories
[23:17] 月影: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=323909610753051544#
[23:17] 月影: Also, I guess Chewie's mom is cooking, and I've gotta wonder how much fur ends up in the food she makes
[23:17] 月影: Whatcha up to?
[23:19] Mike: should be doing programming
[23:19] Mike: but i'm not
[23:19] Mike: ... R2-D2 as R2-D2
[23:20] 月影: Yeah... Should be doing work myself, but I've been on a 30 minute break for about 2 hours now
[23:20] 月影: Wow
[23:20] Mike: ... i... dont want to watch this
[23:20] 月影: Well, I guess as it doesn't even have a voice actor, there's nothing to attribute to it
[23:20] 月影: the holiday special?
[23:20] 月影: i really don't blame you
[23:20] Mike: like at first i was like 'ok... lets see'
[23:20] 月影: but it's amusing for 5 minutes
[23:21] Mike: but....
[23:21] 月影: you could always watch stargate infinity?
[23:21] Mike: ... or stargate!
[23:21] 月影: actually, i'm kind of amused by the old-school commercials
[23:21] 月影: NOPE! NO GOOD TV FOR YOU!!
[23:21] Mike: they should show this to people in guantanamo bay
[23:21] 月影: ONLY STUFF THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO SPORK YOUR EYES OUT.
[23:21] 月影: *laughs*
[23:22] 月影: Isn't that considered cruel and unusual punishment?
[23:22] Mike: this... thing has been dancing around on the table for 5 minutes
[23:22] 月影: So, is this worse than that other movie you've talked about?
[23:22] Mike: ... i'm... its.... but...
[23:22] 月影: that's why you SKIP AROUND
[23:22] 月影: don't actually WATCH it
[23:22] 月影: Silly man.
[23:23] Mike: wow.... uuuggghhh
[23:23] 月影: (What's that movie called again?)
[23:23] 月影: *closes the window with the special*
[23:23] Mike: its like... they took a bunch of overly cliche` things from the original and just... crammed them in as hard/carelessly as they could
[23:24] 月影: Apparently it was supposed to be a one-hour special but the network made them change it to two-hours, thus explaining some of the awful filler.
[23:26] Mike: she did it all by hand... solo
[23:26] Mike: hahaha
[23:26] Mike: like that isn't code... uuuggghhh
[23:26] 月影: Wait, what now?
[23:26] 月影: OH!
[23:26] 月影: Before you get back to work, you need to see this:
[23:27] 月影: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTQg9KgnjjA
[23:27] 月影: skip to 3:10
[23:29] Mike: could.... seriously..... go... insane
[23:29] Mike: brain.... melting...
[23:29] Mike: can't.... turn.... off...
[23:29] Mike: -has an anyuresym-
[23:29] 月影: Hee. If I ever want to murder you, I now know how.
[23:30] 月影: Maybe it's the kind of thing you can only watch drunk/high?
[23:30] Mike: .... this could be a drinking game somehow
[23:30] Mike: lol... like.... all of the video clips are just cuts from the original movie
[23:31] 月影: Every time a line pains you, take a drink? You'd be drunk in 15 minutes
[23:31] Mike: .... drunk?... or... dead?
[23:31] 月影: There's even a cartoon in it!
[23:31] 月影: Eh, true
[23:33] Mike: lol... harrison ford is like... hahaha
[23:33] Mike: lol
[23:33] 月影: I KEEL YUUU!!!
[23:34] 月影: It's like he's having some sort of nervous breakdown
[23:38] 月影: Oof, back to work
[23:38] 月影: Glad I was able to horrify/amuse you. :)
What prompted this discussion was a Future Tense (or whatever the hell it's called now) episode from last week that said it would be going away in 10 (?) days and mentioned the availability of the special, so I especially after having watched Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" video so many times, I had to see it for myself. Anyway, in looking up the specific closing date of the service I found the following on Wikipedia:
On April 15, 2011, Google announced via email that after April 29 they would no longer allow playback of content hosted on their service, but reversed the decision one week later in lieu of greater support for migration to Youtube.
Sweet!
ETA: You know, it's no fair that to join the military all you have to do is show up (?), but to join Americorps you have to fill out applications and essays. I think I probably would have gone through with it if the process weren't so mendou kusai.
