Godless is pretty good. I mean it's got a couple issues, but overall...

It's not Deadwood.

Truthfully I'm very self conscious about talking too much and looking like a jackass in all social situations and I don't consider myself a very smart, funny or interesting person so I only opt to pitch my two cents into an ongoing conversation when I feel I have something to contribute, or maybe a joke.


or if im drinking or something then the bets are kind of off

On one hand part of me wants to reassure you that you are easily one of the coolest people here, but on the other I know that this works and now I'm worried that it's been working on me

[Slurpee]

I saw IT

I love that at the end they basically just kick the crap out of him 💯
I get that it's really about them finally overcoming their fears and working together, but it fucking rules that they do it with blunt force trauma

the fast-motion ooga booga cg scares were the weakest part of an otherwise solid presentation, but if I could change one thing, I'd rechoreograph it to be exactly like the final scene from Death Proof

[PhantomCatClock]

wasn't that a parody of Depth Proof where someone goes around murdering women with Slurpeeposts until one of the victims' friends track his IP to the wreckage of a car on the side of a highway














i'm really tired sorry

Describes how I feel about posting perfectly

except I don't really drink so the bets are on

I thought this turned out pretty good

Groovy! Is that for Damn the man?

Groovy! Is that for Damn the man?

Yup!

I think the stuff I made for this game are some of the better drawings I've ever done

[RenegadeClock]

Awesome work!

Even though I am morally opposed to this sort of thing coming before the forums, TELEPHONE there is a Discord now that is pretty active and has Clocks who haven't been on the forums in years

A few months ago I got drunk and stumbled into the Discord, but I'll check it out again!

[TelephoneClock]

ZombieLincoln your artwork has always astounded me, I've always wondered what this place has done to deserve you

[TelephoneClock]

Man that night I found the Discord was a hell of an adventure, first I checked out the bookmark I had saved (clockcrew.cc) and I thought the forums had finally died. So I find VuvuzelaClock on Steam and he links me to the Discord and actually that was it, I guess that wasn't very exciting at all, huh

Fantastic, man. I swear you need to sell prints of this stuff, I'd have one hanging on every wall.

Not just having .cc redirect to .net when we got hold of the URL was such a baffling mistake. I appreciate the sentiment they had of wanting to build a new site from the ground up, but the enthusiasm required to actually complete such a task is substantial, and dwindles faster than progress is made.

*that scene from Second Hand Lions where Kid is asking Old Man about Jasmine and backing him into a corner so he has to answer except with Slurpee instead of Old Man and Scorpion instead of Jasmine and me instead of Kid*

there's two okay jokes in the film "Accepted", and one of them they fuck up so immediately and so irretrievably that I've thought about it at least every couple months since I saw it

the premise of the film is justin long and his friends started a fake college because he didn't get accepted into any real ones, but pre-famous jonah hill's character gave it a functioning website, and a bunch of people actually enrolled, and, y'know, hijinks ensue

there's a scene where they're stunned to learn they have a tremendous budget surplus because their "students" all actually paid the ten thousand dollar tuition
one of them says "I stopped counting after the first hundred checks."
another breathlessly responds "that's 74 million dollars."
beat.
somebody else: "it's one million dollars, glen."

perfect! cut, turn it in, your joke is complete, cigars all around


instead, glen then says, "psh. in human dollars."
WHY
why add this? why are we getting into glen's head? why do they think explaining the joke with the revelation that glen thinks something no human being on earth has ever thought would improve the scene at all? how did the writer, director, actors, and editors all let the scene slide into this comedic black hole?

the joke of a character being dumb requires that you can follow how he arrived at an erroneous conclusion
lisa simpson: I'm losing my perspicacity!
homer simpson: well, it's always in the last place you look
if there's no appreciable way he could have arrived at his conclusion, that's a completely different joke.
glen is not homer simpson. we do not have to know why he said 74 million, a number he could not possibly have arrived at mathematically, he's a fucking weirdo who says weird things, there is nothing to mine from following his train of thought. the humor of the scene was that the basic grammar of cinematic structure led the audience to expect that the next line after a simple product would be an explication of the result, because if the movie's not doing the thinking for us we can't invest in the emotional purpose of the scene. so we momentarily accept what's said as factual, and just as we were realizing something was wrong, a character says it out loud. JOKE DONE. fine comedic form! stop the bit!

fucking "human dollars." hack. it's a hack bit. you were spinning gold, "Accepted", and you blew it! you didn't stick the landing!

and, the other okay joke was, when they were going to enter the abandoned building, and jonah hill's character noped out and said "hope you guys have hobo stab insurance"

[PhantomCatClock]

You forgot to say if you recommend it

[PhantomCatClock]

ps it looks like I got the 113,000th post but it starts on zero (it counts replies) so really Rob has it.

I hadn't heard of that flick before this post, but I imagine that's exactly what happened here right. The people in charge felt it wasn't clear enough that he's a fucking weirdo who says weird things. They really had to hammer it home because the audience is stupid. Or it's a dumb guy's lame, in-character attempt at a save. That would be funny. Regardless, fuck you and everything you stand for, because comedic black holes is where it's at. Driving jokes so far up their own ass to a point where it becomes funny again is the new paradigm for this post-postmodern world I feel.
