If crazy ambient synth-heavy music laden with torrents of feedback isn't your thing, ignore what I'm about to tell you:

I've just been checking out some band called Cosmodelia. They're awesome so far. I listened to Digital Free Jazz and was quite impressed. Overall, a very droney piece, but they shoved a bit of rhythm in there with a very straight-forward distorted guitar sample. Executed very well.

We've moved from Space Thing to Starship Troopers.

2009-02-28T22:49:00.000+11:00

"A shelf of boobs can become a Space Thing. All it needs is pressure, and time."

2009-02-28T22:48:00.000+11:00

That movie had neither Thing neither space. We've moved on to Starship troopers.

2009-02-28T22:47:00.000+11:00

OMG.

Yakity Sax syncs up to fast-forwad sexploitation to a hilarious degree.

Fighting, sex, it doesn't matter.

2009-02-28T22:43:00.000+11:00

This is the greates thing ever. We're watching the movie in fast forward while Lucas plays Yakkity Sax on his laptop. During a sex scene, you can't imagine anything more hilarious.

2009-02-28T22:34:00.000+11:00

Craig: There's a logical reason for women's dresses falling off like that.
Ted: YOU'RE NOT MAKING ANY FRIENDS HERE!

2009-02-28T22:32:00.000+11:00

I've worked this movie out:
It's basically a regular porn movie, but edited for British airways, so all you end up with is a 30min close-up of a sweaty guy's face.

Me: Isn't the guy in gold the only one who's an alien?
Tim: Yeah, except for the secret oompa-loompa.

Me: This ship has a distinctive lack of red-shirts
Lucas: That's because nobody wears shirts.

2009-02-28T22:28:00.000+11:00

*Two women are going at it, then one slaps the other and starts whipping her, cuts appear on her back*

Me: Now she's going to make the whipped one carry a big log through the ship..

*A moment later, the music is wikki-wikking and Lucas starts Beastie-boying along*

2009-02-28T22:26:00.000+11:00

Me: Wher's the Space thing?
Ted: STOP ASKING. It won't come.

Tim: There's 30 space-minutes to go!

W've decidd to start saying "All over your face" after every line.

2009-02-28T22:25:00.000+11:00

WHERE'S THE SPACE THING?!?

2009-02-28T22:19:00.000+11:00

Craig: Humans aren't in space in the Gamera movies. Oh, wait, we're not watching Gamera.

Rhys: She learned from Flashdance, too! LEGWARMERS!

2009-02-28T22:15:00.000+11:00

Dan: All this nudity give them +2 plus lasers.

Lucas: I wish this movie had more naked people.
Dan: All the props could be naked people. Instead of a naked woman lying on a bed, she could be lying on a naked woman.

2009-02-28T22:14:00.000+11:00

Bridge officer: Hey, you better get out of here or I'll call captain mother!

Me: I'LL CALL MOMMY!!

Credits show up painted on body parts, some of which are on a bare-ass*

Me: Ass credits!

2009-02-28T22:10:00.001+11:00

"Captain's log, a bunch of my ship fell off, and no one likes me."

"We don't have credits, so we wrote our titles on women."

*weird lights and nosies*

Lucas: Who's up here and Who's playing my theramin?!

2009-02-28T22:08:00.000+11:00

"This man's back is turning me... what's the opposite of gay?"

Dan:"God, I need an alien right now.'

Mmmm.. Post-coital sci-fi book reading.

2009-02-28T22:07:00.000+11:00

It smells like the great taste of orange.

Taqwa

2009-02-28T22:05:00.001+11:00

*Two people are starting to get it on*
Lucas: Where's the Space? Where's the Thing?.. Oh there it is..

So far, this seems to be a softcore porn movie where the guy never takes his underwear off and she licks his chest a lot..

2009-02-28T22:05:00.000+11:00

Fiddling with a wig is considered foreplay.

Why title it Space Thing? Where's the Space? Where's the Thing? Oh, wait.

2009-02-28T22:04:00.000+11:00

Diarrhea can strike at any time.

2009-02-28T22:03:00.001+11:00

Space Thing is better than Gamera for two giant reasons.

2009-02-28T22:01:00.000+11:00

This guy is reading Science Fiction with a naked woman next to him. He is the king of nerds.

Taqwa

2009-02-28T21:54:00.000+11:00

Annnd we've moved onto Space Thing.

So far we've had full frontal nudity and a dude with a furry back reading Sci-Fi in bed..

2009-02-28T21:52:00.000+11:00

Lucas: "So what's going on?"
Craig: "The aliens brought the monster and Gamera fights them:
Lucas: "So when a turtle man and a turtle woman love each other very much..."

Taqwa

2009-02-28T21:46:00.000+11:00

*Partway through the 2nd Gamera movie*
Lucas: What the fuck is going ON in this movie?!
Me: Well, when a penis monster and a Gamera love each other very much..

2009-02-28T21:42:00.000+11:00

Activate the Super Death Ray!
SuperDeath, not just regular death.

2009-02-28T21:41:00.000+11:00

How do the kids know it's called Gamera? Why aren't they scared?

2009-02-28T21:36:00.003+11:00

*submarine goes into the ocean*
Craig: This is the worst podracer ever.

2009-02-28T21:31:00.001+11:00

"Come back right now, or no supper"
Lucas: Yes, threaten the child. He'll come back if he thinks he'll be punished as soon as he does.

2009-02-28T21:30:00.000+11:00

"Are those Japanese scouts?"
"Kamikaze scouts?"

2009-02-28T21:22:00.001+11:00

New Gamera movie! Go!

Wow. Rigellian sounds just like Engrish.

2009-02-28T20:44:00.001+11:00

You know, the Slovaks have some underrated beers. This, however, is not one of them.

2009-02-28T20:36:00.000+11:00

I never thought I'd say this, but Rhys? Stop licking Craig's head.

2009-02-28T20:33:00.001+11:00

Onto the 2nd Gamera movie..

2009-02-28T20:20:00.001+11:00

Lucas: Do you have any milk in the fridge?
Me: *hands him a knife* is this it?

2009-02-28T20:20:00.000+11:00

DID THAT KID JUST SAY gAMERA dALAI lAMA?

*Rhys joins in*
*The whole thing degenerates into a 'Tribute' take off using turtles..*

2009-02-28T20:11:00.001+11:00

Ted is apparently getting love and affection instead of blogging. Ted sucks.

2009-02-28T20:01:00.000+11:00

I just made an Aqua Velva for Ted. Blame Zodiac.

Taqwa

2009-02-28T19:59:00.003+11:00

Ted has stopped blogging. Lucas and I will need to blog twice as hard.

*Some guy is caught setting the army camp on fire*
Japanese woman: What are you doing?
Me (as the guy): The voices.. they told me to burn them.. BURN THEM ALL!!

2009-02-28T19:59:00.001+11:00

Bad Gamera! No biscuit!

2009-02-28T19:56:00.002+11:00

Crowd: "GAMERA!"
Lucas: "WHAT?!?!?!?"

"Hey, Gamera's here! I hope he noticed my sign!"

"Take that infrastructure!"

2009-02-28T19:53:00.000+11:00

"A reversal of tides cause flooding."
Lucas: "The water came from Gamera!"

Taqwa

2009-02-28T19:48:00.007+11:00

Japansese Police: You need to get out of here! Gamera is coming!
Taqwa (as club goer): No way man we're going to beat Gamera in a dance of skill!

*Gamera is destroying part of Tokyo*
Dan: The 26th angel hhas entered the city! All civilians are to evacuate to their designated shelters!

2009-02-28T19:48:00.005+11:00

"I move for unanimous agreement"
Lucas: "You'll have to get it from one of the other generals."

2009-02-28T19:45:00.000+11:00

Why is there a man with a fez in the United Nations?

2009-02-28T19:43:00.002+11:00

FIRE!
Craig: HERE COMES FUN!
Dan: Who pointed the cannon at the ground?

Taqwa

2009-02-28T19:41:00.004+11:00

American General: We are convinced that Gamera is constantly on the search for food..
Taqwa: He's a big turtle and he's looking for a BIG cereal.

2009-02-28T19:41:00.002+11:00

*Gamera approaches*
Dan: We have imperial walkers on the south field!
Lucas: and some kid stole my mail! I don't know where he lives!

2009-02-28T19:38:00.001+11:00

Lucas: "That turtle's too thick for blasters!"
Craig: "Use your harpoons and towcables."

2009-02-28T19:37:00.002+11:00

Dan: "You're lucky the freezing bomb worked as well as it did - I didn't think It'd go with that broccoli!"

2009-02-28T19:37:00.001+11:00

"I disagree with you, senator."
Lucas: You commie.

"Mr. Secretary?"
Lucas: "Shut up."

2009-02-28T19:35:00.001+11:00

"That explains his fire-breath and resstaanc to explosions."
Lucas: And his refreshing mint flavour.

2009-02-28T19:34:00.002+11:00

Giant turtles always walk single file to conceal their numbers.

All the shells are bouncing off Gamera. Then they'll throw the cannon and he'll duck.

Taqwa

2009-02-28T19:30:00.004+11:00

Japanese scientist: We need to devise a way to freeze Gamera.
Lucas: Get me an Ice-breaker!

Japanese scientist: That way the planes will be able to attack from all sides
Taqwa: As opposed to those land-planes that can't attack from all sides..

2009-02-28T19:30:00.001+11:00

Everyone is quoting Neon Genesis evangelion and I want to die.

2009-02-28T19:26:00.000+11:00

Craig and I just had a simultaneous Zen KHAAAAAAN moment. Fucking awesome.

2009-02-28T19:25:00.001+11:00

The 40,000 foot turtle just hid behind a rock.

That lighthouse was just 4 days from retirement.

"If you get rid of that turtle, your father will buy you something."
Lucas: "Like a turtle. Ah, crap!"

"I'm a crappy second. It took me four swings to kill the last guy."

We're missing half to the quips.

Lucas: "Drunken master 5: It's Getting Really Sad."

Daniel: Could this movie turn into the 7 Samurai? Oh, Samurai,Samurai, a giant turtle has destroyed my village! W have only rice to give you.

2009-02-28T19:17:00.002+11:00

Dan: "Please tell me this turns into the Seven Samurai:

"Please, sir, please save our village from the giant turtle! We'll pay you in rice!""

2009-02-28T19:14:00.002+11:00

Lucas has started with the "Meanwhile, in Movie B/C..." thing from the MST3K 'Pod People'.

It's surprisingly fitting. I don't want to break the news to him: As far as I remember, all the stupid little subplots to tie in together at some point. Unlike what happened in Pod People.

Lucas is now hiding some bread.

2009-02-28T19:13:00.001+11:00

"On to Toronto, Alaska, Warsaw, then Vancouver."
Lucas: "He's drunk again!"

Wait, what?

"He saw a giant turtle walking away!"
Lucas: "It's Molly Meldrum."

BLOGGER ATE THIS THREE FUCKING TIMES.

First shot: Blue curacao, malibu, citrus vodka, triple sec, 151 rum then set ON FIRE.

Seconds & third shot: Vodka, creme de cacao, kahlua, milk, Aztec hot chocolate powder (with chilli and cinnamon). People wanted another round.

It's the Toohey's New of Spain.

2008-09-05T22:51:00.001+10:00

Okay, so the Grindhouse idea got dethroned once Craig and Casey left. We're now watching an episode of Seinfeld in order to kill time while my iPod loads Rifftraxes. The Jagermeister is gone.

Adrian thinks Tanja's Vaio is sexy.

Lucas: "Except that one."
Adrian: "And that. And that. And that."

Rockets just launch you into the air, They don't hurt you.

Unless you're a car. Then they set you on fire.

Logic has left the building.

2008-09-05T22:02:00.001+10:00

She just blew on her gun-leg. Dooga missed it.

Craig: They could have saved ammo by movingtogether.
Adrian: Must you make sense?

2008-09-05T22:01:00.001+10:00

Lucas: "You think you brought enough guns?"
Ted: "And where are my ribs?"
"Our helicopters can take all of us."
Lucas: "Except you, fatass."

2008-09-05T21:59:00.001+10:00

Adrian: "What was that drippy thing? (coming out of Quentin Tarantino's pants)"
Lucas: "Jack's lack of cock."

2008-09-05T21:56:00.001+10:00

Lucas: I just identified a bossa nova version of Too Drunk To Fuck. Does that makes me sad?

2008-09-05T21:54:00.001+10:00

Tommy: "Oh, I could strangle her all night long. Is it strange that's the first place I go?"
Casey: "I love Bruce Willis. I'd love to have his baby."

2008-09-05T21:51:00.001+10:00

"You don't look like Ava Garner no more."
Craig: "You look like Betty White's vagina!"

"Mexico. Put our backs against the ocean."
Lucas: "We have oceans in the states, dude!"

"You got something you want to say to me?"
Lucas: "I really liked Tron."

2008-09-05T21:27:00.002+10:00

"If anyone comes to the door, you shoot them. Like in your video games."
Craig: "But you only bought me Tetris!"

2008-09-05T21:25:00.000+10:00

Oh so very glad we finished the spaghetti before seeing this.

2008-09-05T21:23:00.001+10:00

"And my turtle. And my scorpion. And my tarantula."
Lucas: "And Trumpy. And my Monstrosity."
Ted: "And my Beholder!"

2008-09-05T21:21:00.001+10:00

Ted keeps quacking when Rose McGowan hops along.

"Would you leave it alone?"
Lucas "If you pick it, it won't heal!"

2008-09-05T21:12:00.001+10:00

Lucas: "Nurse, nurse, nurse, nurse, doctor, nurse, ZOMBIE!" *stab*

We're hitting cliches on all cylinders, here. Guns, bikes, babes, and zombies.
