The password part of the graphical login screen for Fedora Core _TELLS YOU_ if you have CAPS lock on. This pleases me inordinately.

UHF, which I finally got around to seeing (mostly because it was for sale for really cheap at the nearby thrift store, and I figured I might as well buy it) is very, very silly. And random. And kept reminding me of people. And reminds me of Elephant Parts, except it has a plot and I don't think Elephant Parts did.

I should sleep, but I'm not sure that I'm sleepy enough yet. We shall see, I guess!

But first, I wait for my room to get cooler. Perhaps, I shower while I wait.

Silly movie glee!

See, all linux does is copy Mac OS X. ;p

(but yes, I agree it's incredibly good from a usability/UI point of view)

*laugh* Hey, if they've got the good ideas, why not? Wait, isn't Mac OS X the one which is UNIX based? That's an even _better_ reason to do so!

Yup! It's the lovechild of a threesome involving classic MacOS, NeXT, and FreeBSD.

UHF was silly enough that I enjoyed it, and that's saying something! (I don't usually like movies, but I like silliness very much.)

Supplies!

Huh! This makes me want to ask what other movies, if any, you have enjoyed. :) Are there any others?

Hee! Indeed. This made me laugh aloud, which is unusual when there is no one around. Of course, the fact that I watch everything with subtitles is probably the only reason I got it. ;)

No, Elephant Parts did not have a plot. Now I want to see it and Television Parts again, and UHF for that matter. I have not seen any of them in a long time.

I have not even heard of Television Parts. But it being in the list with the other two makes me curious. Also, I should eventually find a copy of Elephant Parts.

Television Parts is very similar to Elephant Parts. It was also created by/stars Mike Nesmith. He made it shortly after Elephant Parts, for television, and could be thought of as Elephant Parts II in that it has the same kind of quirky humor skits.

FWIW I poked at ebay and both Elephant and Television parts DVD are there for ~$12 and there is a VHS of television parts for $4

I'm tempted to pick them up myself and maybe do a viewing for friends.

*glomps fellow Linux user* Wheeeee!!! sorry, I'm a bit random today.

Really? That's so COOL! Yes, I'm still all giggly random today.

*grin* Giggly random is, IMO, a _good_ thing. ;)

You hadn't seen UHF? Don't tell me you haven't seen Earth Girls Are Easy or Time Bandits either!?

[identity profile] wispfox.livejournal.com 2005-08-23 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
The former, I'm not sure, but might have. The latter, I think I have.
