This is my first post and I'm sorry if it is kinda lame but it's the offseason and a Friday so go easy on me. I recently had a conversation with a friend of mine about lolcats where he basically told me I am weird for collecting lolcat pictures and if I wanted to be "normal" I should just get a cat. I think I have the text of the conversation somewhere. Ok I found it:
Me: i have a pretty impressive collection of cat pictures on my hard drive
Jerk Friend: i bet. you're so weird. you know that right?
Me: what is normal?
Jerk Friend: if people want a cat they get a cat. they don't collect pictures of cats as if you're a 12 year old who can only get porn from free websites and he saves them to his hard drive. normal would be to get a cat.
Me: Ouch
Jerk Friend: all i'm saying is don't be weird, stop collecting pictures of cats
What an asshole! I should also mention this dude doesn't like the Giants or baseball in general (I'm still trying to figure out why I am friends with him in the first place). I was beginning to think maybe he was right until I discovered McCovey Chronicles. Not only is it by far the best Giants blog/forum I have ever read, there seems to be quite a few people who also have some love for the lolcats. So I thought it would be fun to create a post and see just how many lolcat pics we can collect in one place.
So come on, show your lolcat pride and post some pics!

LOLCATS R SERIOUS BUSINESS!
Using a lolcat picture in the midst of an otherwise “normal” thread requires a timing and subtlety that can only be obtained after years (okay, days…alright, hours….OKAY MINUTES…SHEESH!) of introspection and experience.
It helps if the locat has a caption that, at the very least, has a passing relation to the comment against which it is applied.

I own a cat, my cat is far less entertaining than lolcats. The cat rarely puts on an amusing expression (or any expression other than vaguely pissed or asleep). Also, lolcats do not require boxes of poop in your apartment.

the idea of a leather-clad, whip-wealding archaeologist fighting nazis and commies is pretty outlandish. it’s still pretty entertaining though.

… Indy is in the quicksand and he yells at the demented professor to go get help, then the professor comes back with the Nazis. Well fucking no way! You mean in the middle of the fucking jungle, a few hundred yards from the Nazis you just escaped from, he only found the fucking Nazis to help him? Who could have seen THAT SHIT COMING???

Meh, I enjoyed the movie, but I can see why people don’t like it. I certainly see the flaws, but it’s entertaining to me which was all I required of it.

We’ll see, like I said, I haven’t seen the last hour. The first hour was OK but it just seemed overly by-the-numbers. I don’t think it’s the worst movie ever, just it hasn’t been very enjoyable so far.

The biggest thing that irked me was (Spoiler warning)
Marion’s relatively diminished role. She doesn’t really get to do much other than trade barbs with Indy once in a while and give us that nostalgic high.

I would agree with the spoiler comment, but I think that was the intent. Make the original viewers happy, and hopefully capture some new younger ones with the premise of the new character.
I have this debate with my kids and their significant others frequently. My younger daughter’s husband ( who is an avid comic book graphic novel fan and can’t wait for “Watchmen” ), have had various types of disagreements regarding movies. IMHO, your expectations going into the movie/film make the difference.
I went into that movie expecting some action fun, a decent script, and good story-telling. Having seen the originals as a much younger man, I thought that they did a pretty good job of wrapping up a few loose ends from the original, and setting up opportunity for the new character. I’ll give it a “paying attention in the seat guy” review.

“I would agree with the spoiler comment, but I think that was the intent.”
Maybe in the last version of the draft, but in Frank Darabont’s script, Marion played a much larger role. Here’s how it was described in the above-linked G4 review:
“Perhaps the biggest difference in the script is the treatment of Marion Ravenwood. First off, she doesn’t spend the entirety of the story standing in the background grinning like she’s happy to have a job. She’s the Marion we came to know and love in Raiders of the Lost Ark, and her story arc is so much more believable in this script that it’s a night-and-day experience.”

Shia Lebeouf is far more watchable when Megan Fox is next to him for the entire movie.
