why i just ain't made right, part 777

[phosfate]

I open up the nifty new U.S. edition of Hot Fuzz, take a gander at the fabuloid picture inserts, and the first thing I think is, Oh, wow, I could totally have a SANDFORD POLICE SERVICE rubber stamp made for one of those moleskine reporter notebooks.

And I did.

Oh man, I am totally making myself a Bioshock "Rapture Transit Authority" stamp.

Moleskines are so, so sexy.

Doooooooo iiiiiiiiit.

Is it a logo? I can't find it online anywhere.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Ooo, I'm googling Bioshock images. There's some totally groovy atmosphere graphics in there. "IS YOUR FAMILY PROTECTED?"

[twigcollins.livejournal.com]

Bioshock has some amazing graphics, and the artbook and soundtrack are online and free from the company website (cultofrapture.com).

The Rapture Transit Authority is on the tube your bathysphere goes into right at the very start of the game, at the end of the opening movie. *cough You Tube cough cough*

OMIGOD I WANT ONE, I WANT ONE NOW NOW NOW!!!

I have the DVD but do not remember the rubber stamp... must go home & check it out.

BLANTS!

When you flip open the inside package, each of the notebook pages has SANDFORD POLICE SERVICE on the top in, like, 8 pt Something Extended.

I still haven't gotten this yet. And it makes me sad, because the extras on the original release were such a let down.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

I haven't actually seen it in a store, which is kind of weird.

On the other hand, I've only been to Target and the crafts store, so maybe it isn't.

[alpha-orionis-v.livejournal.com]

I went to Target just to torture myself, since I can't afford it anyway, and when I asked the lady behind the counter if they had it, she asked what it was. So, I said it was an adrenaline-fuelled thrill-ride British cop movie, and she just kinda looked at me, and went

"Are you sure you're not thinking of ..." and then mentioned some movie I've never heard of.

It made me very sad.

I always answer with, "It's the finest English-language film since Citizen Kane."

[alpha-orionis-v.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that we were talking about Empire Strikes Back.

:P

Gawd damn it, I think I'll have to buy this.
I do like how Amazon is trying package it with the director's cut of Zodiac.

OMGWTF!?

[very-improbable.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad someone made an icon of that magazine cover...

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Ew.

[alpha-orionis-v.livejournal.com]

Oh, god. Don't tell me you're a new trilogy fan. D:

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

No, I...haven't really enjoyed once since A New Hope. Or, as we called it back then, Star Wars.

Don't even get me started on nuTrilogy. It's like a paper cut to the brain.

[alpha-orionis-v.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank Xenu.

What is it about the Skywalker boys that all tend to be whiny emo punks, though?

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Punkwalker didn't even act. He made Mark Hamill look like River Phoenix.

[alpha-orionis-v.livejournal.com]

No kidding! UGH!


Why they didn't put Haley Joel Osmond (sp?) in the Phantom Menace is so beyond me. That kid would have been perfect.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Dunno. Mr Lucas claimed he liked Blank Kid's blankness. Maybe Haley was still stuck making A-fucking-I.

Which was a horrible movie, but still easier to watch than Phantom Menace.

[alpha-orionis-v.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was like, the year of the three-hour-movie, wasn't it? Nobody wants to sit in a cold theatre with nothing to eat but stale popcorn for that long unless there are some serious gun fights and car chases involved.

Are you talking about the 3-disc edition? If so, I have a question: What is the aspect ratio of the movie? (Hopefully it says on teh back of the box.) According to imdb.com Hot Fuzz was filmed at 2.35, and the regular widescreen DVD is 2.35, but some of the online listings for the 3-disc edition seem to state that the movie is 1.85, which causes me to make this face:

>.O

You might do better to ask on sandfordpolice.
