Taste the new-found professionalism!

I didn’t do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can’t prove anything.

Oh, Kathleen, it was Marie Jon’ in the Kissinger thread.

It’s nice she stops by!

That sucks. Yours was three or four billion times better. Maybe five billion.

Nice…however the rest of the page is still, as they say, blasting me in the face with molten suck.

I would love it if he goes piece by piece.

COME ON ACE

but but… where are the jpeg artifacts? the beautiful, beautiful jpeg artifacts?

NOOOOOOOO

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, wait. Excuse me.

*snicker*

Clicked over just in time to see their “May he rot in hell” eulogy for Altman, one of my favorite directors.

Ultimately, however, people who want to make vaunted claims for Altman’s greatness need to explain why someone like Ridley Scott shouldn’t be held in equal esteem.

Sure, I loved Alien, but, my god, you can just picture the Battlestar Galactica DVD covers strewn across the unvaccuumed shag of the basement…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!!!!

Some are meant to lead, others are meant to follow.
The rest are meant to wank.

Oh please Gavin, you know full well that Ace has been planning on cleaning up his banner for sometime now and just hadn’t found the time in his busy, busy life. It had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with ANYTHING you may have done or written.

Nothing.

So, now does the throat-slitting start?

*ahem* – what I meant to say was:

“Yarrr Mate! Hoist the black flag and hand me my cutlass!”

Along with the whole “genius” thing, the list of what Ace doesn’t get is rather extensive.

re: Robert Altman, Ace of Spades sez, “…I’m not getting the whole “genius” thing.”

That tells you all you really need to know.

This doesn’t mean you’re allowed to stop fixing the banner. There’s still much work to be done.

I don’t like to go over to Ace’s playhouse, it smells like spoiled food and farts, but did someone actually say that because Altman was good somehow that means Ridley Scott was bad? ‘Cause I kinda think they’re both good, but we’re talking about Altman right now because he, uh, died. Or did one of the Mensa types over there just assume if you thought one was good, you had to dislike the other?

mikey

My fave is the first comment. “hey, you don’t have MM’s little thingy next to your URL anymore.” or somesuchschit.

“Ultimately, however, people who want to make vaunted claims for Altman’s greatness need to explain why someone like Ridley Scott shouldn’t be held in equal esteem.”

Because RS never – not even once – got the hell out of his actors way… is why.

Hmph.

The red text still isn’t antialiased, there are stray pixels in the upper corners of the logo, and someone had a shaky hand where the saber blades meet the edge of the spade.

And there’s still no CROWN OF THORNS.

…Am I the only one who though that Alien was really bad?

I assure you, you are not.
