ASCII movie

Could the ASCII movie possibly be a reference to this Star Wars ASCII Movie (can also be seen here)? I don't know how common full length ASCII movies are, but something tells me they aren't that popular. --Electricnet 07:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Could be, although it's kind of a stretch, seeing as the actual "movie" SB watches doesn't have anything to do with Star Wars; maybe if the movie was something sci-fi. I think, more than anything, it's just a reference to SB being hopelessly behind with technology, like when he refered to the Cheat's monitor as having its back chopped off, etc. But then again, what do I know? haha -- Mohan37 07:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I agree, it's likely not a specific reference to any one ASCII instance. Qermaq - (T/C) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 09:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Chili's fajitas

This was probably rightfully removed — while the utensils are identical to those used at Chili's, I'm not surprised that they are used elsewhere. Also, the Mariachi band doesn't fit with Chili's. At any rate, the resemblance of the utensils is strong enough that I think it's worthy of posting on the talk page. Trey56 09:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

  • The pans, wooden trays, and tortilla containers that accompany The King of Town's fajitas are the same style as those served at the popular restaurant chain Chili's.

Dangeresque 3 = Duke Nukem Forever (sorta)

For some reason, the Dangeresque 3 poster reminded me of a poster I once saw at the local gaming store of Duke Nukem Forever several, several, several years ago. I'm trying to do an image search to see if I can find it (with little luck right now). Anyway, when you think about it, the Dangeresque 3 poster has all those dates scratched off then it says "We'll See..." and Duke Nukem Forever had a buch of dates set, but had delays, delays, and delays, then finally, according to 3D Realms's site, it says "When it's done." - Ren Foxx 13:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

And it keeps runnin' runnin'

How many more e-mails will DNA evidence be mentioned? Maybe the paper's DNA will be tampered with when be becomes an injet printer paper (sbemail 173!). Drippingyellowmadness CoolS.png talk 14:44, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Bwoken

I keep getting a 404'd when I try to watch this email. Is something wrong with the site, or did someone pour Mountain Dew on my computer again?

Dangeresque Poster

Should I note (perhaps in "Remarks") that the pair of glasses on the Dangeresque 3 poster seems to be made for three eyes?

Ice Cold Refreshment

The "ice cold refreshment" trivia refers to Coca-Cola games and trivia ads seen before a film. Retromaniac 17:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Common Problems

The most common problems with people talking during a film are:

  1. Giving away the plot during a suspenseful or comedic scene
  2. Commenting on every scene

Retromaniac 17:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I think this is too high a level of "detail." There's not really an authoritative source to compare these statements to. I could, for instance, claim that the most common problem during movies is people making out. Or crappy movies. Doesn't seem like it's noteworthy enough for inclusion on the page.
