dead baby penguins and David Bowie

Aug 24, 2005 23:46

So I've started writing a zine about having a big nose (one of my 10,000 side projects that I'm working on right now). It's turning out to be very therapeutic, or at least more so than I originally thought it would be. I'm still trying to think of a name for it so suggestions are always welcome ( Read more... )

That movie was like this every 40 seconds..."Oh look at the cute baby penguin, oh look at the tubcakes!" and various other awhing and cooing, and then, in the midst of it all, "SUDDEN DEATH BY VULTURE/COLD/STARVATION/AND-THE-LIKE!"

I still really enjoyed it. I loved the scenery and the appreciation it evoked by showing how difficult it for penguins and their unique coping strategies. But that's just me.

How about "The Adventures of The OverLarge Adenoids! (and sidekick olfactory nerves)" Yay nerd science!

Don't get me wrong. I like the movie I think it was amazing that they spent 5 years in the Arctic filming the penguins, it wasn't something I needed to see at that particular time. Plus I didn't think that they were going to do close ups on the penguins dead remains. So I was a bit unprepared.

except it wasn't consistent. like, they had scnes were all the mommy penguins were YOU MAH BABY I HEART YOU AND PROTECT YOU. but then in that scene with the group of babies trying to escape the creepy ass bird of death, (seriuosly lucas, you think YOU'RE nose is large), THE MOTHERS DID NOTHING. THEY JUST STARED AT THE LUMP OF TERRIFIED BABIES.

WTF?????!!!!

ok, honestly, i just wrote the previous comment so that i could say WTF???!!!!! also, "lump of terrified babies" should be the name of your zine. thank you. that is all.

Ok, one thing I didn't get was whether or not the creepy bird actually ate the baby penguin. I like to think that the baby escaped because there wasn't any footage of the bird viciously tearing the chick apart limb from limb and ravenously feasting on its intestines.

We need to get together and watch Empire Records and eat tofu and talk about how stupid boys are... except for me that is (I don’t need anyone reminding me of that).

And I am not naming my zine "lump of terrified babies". It's a zine about my nose, not about things I keep in my basement as an emergency food supply. Jesus.

a friend of mine mentionted in passing that "march of the penguins" would make a great date movie. i hadn't heard anything else about it at that point so i didn't think anything of it (except that maybe i'd take a cute girlie to see it), but then i read this post and now i'm kind of scared of my friend.

Your nose does look some what like a lump of terrfied babies.
The only problem I had with that movie (and many other animal docs) is that they advertise them as "family fun" if I saw March of... as a child I would have cried for a week.

By the way I'm in New York on my way to Costa Rica what the hell?

You need to give me your address once you get there. Ya know, so I can write to you and complain about stuff.
