Alien Whalien Scum

Whale probe checking we still have whales.

An asteroid that visited our Solar System from interstellar space is one of the most elongated celestial bodies known to science.

Victoria Fisher :O

Steve Crisp I’ll bet the dolphins told them about the free fish.

Victoria Fisher Whales are like, "Yeah, we're still infected with people. It's been better recently but still horrible. Now they're shouting under the water, and throwing off the entire ecosystem."

Whale probe: "OkaY WE'll CHEeCK baCK In a COUplE HUndrEd YEArs."

Steve Crisp Whales “ Send back up ! “

Whale probe “ Roger that “

Patrick McEvoy-Halston Looks to me more like aliens have finally developed an outersolarsystemal missile that can finally reach Earth. Peaceniks of course are mistaking it as a whale coming to kiss our planet, or some such... come find Spock and mate with Gracie, or some such, but what we need to do is find the source, disable their guidance systems, and render the missile inoperative. Make no mistake: this is war!

Victoria Fisher Is the whale probe peaceful? I mean, it does nearly destroy the Earth when it finds no whales.

Patrick McEvoy-Halston Victoria Fisher And a villain. I mean who cares more for fishes than for human beings?

Victoria Fisher In my scenario, one that regards whales as the sentient being and humans as an invasion.

Steve Crisp I may have colluded with the alien whale army

🙁

Patrick McEvoy-Halston Victoria Fisher Maybe we could re-educate the whale probe. When it gets here we demonstrate the deficiencies of the whale brain, and illuminate the ignorant alien on great, expansive, all-conquering awesomeness of human beings... especially on the accomplishments of western civ., which in its amazing kindness, has even agreed to elevate water levels so the dumb whales have a little more playing room (as if they didn't have enough!). Unless as rumoured whales created Atlantis, whales don't really have much to show for all their brain power, do they?

Victoria Fisher Patrick McEvoy-Halston Whaliens regard that kind of thinking dangerously imperialistic and obliterate all humans immediately.

Patrick McEvoy-Halston Victoria Fisher I quote the great Batman Ben Affleck, however much he may be implicated in that little thing called the Weinstein scandal, in Superman vs. Batman: That son of a bitch brought the war to us two years ago. Jesus, Alfred, count the dead... thousands of people. What's next? Millions? He has the power to wipe out the entire human race, and if we believe there's even a one percent chance that he is our enemy we have to take it as an absolute certainty... and we have to destroy him.

You have just supplied proof that there is more than a one percent chance an alien rock whale civilization will use its accrued power to destroy Earth, so in real-life anticipation of this eventuality, I declare Earth-war on Whaliens.

Steve Crisp Patrick, excuse me while I , for no reason, take a few steps away from you

Patrick McEvoy-Halston Steve Crisp It's okay; I get that a lot. It's lonely being the only one who won't mistake "whaliens" as a disaster human kind has earned for itself. I'm Gandalf to Victoria's Denethor.

Steve Crisp Patrick, unfortunately, and to put it in Canadian terms, you’re about to be SCTV Farm Report to Victoria’s Great White North.

Steve Crisp I think we’re saying the same thing.

Patrick McEvoy-Halston Nor was what I thought obvious: sperm. Alien Whalien sperm come to inseminate our planet Earth, and repopulate it with alien whalien scum. This too follows a well-laid out path from one of the Superman movies, even as Steve will probably call this cuckoo as well.

Discussion over the fate of Jolenta, at the Gene Wolfe facebook appreciation site

Patrick McEvoy-Halston November 28 at 10:36 AM Why does Severian make almost no effort to develop sustained empathy for Jolenta -- no interest in her roots, what made her who she was -- even as she features so much in the first part of the narrative? Her fate at the end is one sustained gross happenstance after another... Severian has repeated sex with her while she lay half drugged, an act he argues later he imagines she wanted -- even as he admits it could appear to some, bald "rape" -- but which certainly followed his discussion of her as someone whom he could hate so much it invited his desire to destroy her; Severian abandons her to Dr. Talus, who had threatened to kill her if she insisted on clinging to him; Baldanders robs her of her money; she's sucked at by blood bats, and, finally, left at death revealed discombobulated of all beauty... a hunk of junk, like that the Saltus citizens keep heaped away from their village for it ruining their preferred sense ...

Salon discussion of "Almost Famous" gang-rape scene

Patrick McEvoy-Halston: The "Almost Famous'" gang-rape scene? Isn't this the film that features the deflowering of a virgin -- out of boredom -- by a pack of predator-vixons, who otherwise thought so little of him they were quite willing to pee in his near vicinity? Maybe we'll come to conclude that "[t]he scene only works because people were stupid about [boy by girl] [. . .] rape at the time" (Amy Benfer). Sawmonkey: Lucky boy Pull that stick a few more inches out of your chute, Patrick. This was one of the best flicks of the decade. (sawmonkey, response to post, “Films of the decade: ‘Amost Famous’, R.J. Culter, Salon, 13 Dec. 2009) Patrick McEvoy-Halston: @sawmonkey It made an impression on me too. Great charm. Great friends. But it is one of the things you (or at least I) notice on the review, there is the SUGGESTION, with him being so (rightly) upset with the girls feeling so free to pee right before him, that sex with him is just further presump...

The Conjuring

The Conjuring  I don't know if contemporary filmmakers are aware of it, but if they decide to set their films in the '70s, some of the affordments of that time are going to make them have to work harder to simply get a good scare from us. Who would you expect to have a more tenacious hold on that house, for example? The ghosts from Salem, or us from 2013, who've just been shown a New England home just a notch or two downscaled from being a Jeffersonian estate, that a single-income truck driver with some savings can afford? Seriously, though it's easy to credit that the father — Roger Perron—would get his family out of that house as fast as he could when trouble really stirs, we'd be more apt to still be wagering our losses—one dead dog, a wife accumulating bruises, some good scares to our kids—against what we might yet have full claim to. The losses will get their nursing—even the heavy traumas, maybe—if out of this we've still got a house—really,...
