   when i said Glen's ancestry is a third chinese, i meant quarter. i don't think it's possible to be a third anything unless you had a half-parent somewhere in there. can't do math.

   i re-heard that part and i thought you were nuts. i tried to figure out how someone could be one third something and the math just doesn't work. the closest thing is if one parent is 3/4s, thus making the kid just slightly above 1/3.

   FINALLY watched Delgo. Netflix was screwing up the playback for some reason and I had to clear my browser cache before it would finally play it without dropping 9 out of 10 frames.

   I was talking online with Ross as he was watching it and he kept calling out certain times where funny stuff would happen or funny shots or whatever, so I wrote all the times down on a piece of paper thinking "I can't wait to watch Delgo this is going to be so funny." But I don't know if he just didn't tell me the right times or what, because when I was watching it every single time one of the scenes would come up I'd be like "hee hee!" all giddy with anticipation and then it was just this totally normal shot. Nothing remotely funny whatsoever. It was like the Spawn jokes part II.

   Nick nice catch on the oppressed always having to be magical or somehow primitive. Such bullshit. And it's so stupid, too, because so often it's the other way around. Like the forces of the backwards status quo trying to oppress the quest for knowledge/science.

   I guess I had similar overall reactions to everyone else to the movie, though. Like for about 10 minutes in the middle I was briefly getting into the movie, and then Chris Kattan's character showed up (whose shirt is ORANGE, for the record) and my interest rapidly diminished after that. The beginning was also really confusing. I felt like the movie needed subtitles for the introduction because after the first 5 minutes I was totally confused. The announcer lady says something like "The winged Noran blah blah blah" and at first I thought she said "The Wynnoran" so I was really confused when everyone was calling each other "Noran." I thought maybe it was slang or something. But it just seems stupid that if you were going to add one adjective to the Noran why did it have to be "winged"? So many other things in that movie had wings. Why didn't the Lockni get prefaced with "the flightless Lockni" or "The bipedal Lockni." Anyway it was dumb.

   I do feel bad for how little money it made though. Yeah the poor producers or whatever going over the opening weekend receipts. "Guess little Jimmy won't have much of a Christmas this year...Joanna and I will have to sell the house...maybe move back in with the folks..." Hopefully my trying 30000 times to play it on Netflix will up the royalty money slightly.

   haha, poor little Jimmy. XD

   it's totally not the same as the Spawn jokes, though, because those became funny after years of being exaggerated and twisted into something they weren't and depended on me mis-remembering the film in order to be funny; while with Delgo, that stuff was funny/weird right off the bat. i still stand by the "sure!" thing at 31:60 or whenever being hilarious. and come on, the delineated goblin butt?!?! which was also weird because they could have done the joke without having his butt cheeks so pronounced, just have the crossbow projectile hit him in the butt, it's a standard slapstick joke, i don't know why such emphasis had to be placed on the creature's swaying ass crack beforehand.
