Title: The 4th Annual Ask ReaPsTA Thread
Post by: ReaPsTA on May 20, 2011, 12:32:14 AM
Hello and welcome ladies and gentlemen.  Today is yet another opportunity to indulge my narcissism and give me sweet validation.  For it's my birthday, and this thread is my yearly present to myself.

Simple focus: Ask me about anything no matter how serious or silly and I will try to provide an answer.  Hopefully this thread will continue a proud yearly tradition of entertainment, personal revelation, and making people's days a little brighter.

Why did Vincenzo Natali try to (and possibly did) destroy his own career by writing that third act of the film Splice?

When is the right time for someone to just give up on something?

What makes us, us? Rather, when you were a fetus in the womb and your brain flickered on for the first time....why was that you? If it were a different sperm...it wouldn't be you. So then are we just the DNA product of two specific gametes? Then what makes identical twins different in consciousness? Then therefore, are we an exact pair of 48 chromosomes at an exact moment of time...as in, have we been waiting ~13 billion years for such a specific event to occur....and if we weren't 'waiting' where were we?

Let's say there's a television show out there. It arrives on the air with no warning, no ads, no promotion, nothing. It's seen by very few people in its first week, and they all privately think that it's nothing special. The story was bland, the characters were unlikeable, the acting was subpar, and they did nothing to make people want to watch the next episode. All of these people, however, tell their friends about this terrible show they watched. Not all their friends watch it, but some do. More curiously, all of the people who watched the first episode found themselves drawn to the second episode. It still wasn't any good, the plot was a meandering mess of cliches, the dialogue was stilted, and the actors aren't even that attractive. But week after week, everybody who's seen it tells their friends and they continue watching every episode compulsively. It's like Pringles: Once you've popped, you are simply psychologically unable to stop. The craze reaches national media outlets, and everyone from Entertainment Weekly to Fox News is reporting on the strange phenomenon. Again, no one knows where this show has come from: No one recognizes the actors, there are no credits, and the channel it's broadcast on admits that they simply receive the episodes anonymously and have never met the creators. It's almost like whoever is making this show has discovered some form of mass hypnosis.

If it were up to you, what would you call this show, and when do you think it would air?

why do i grind my teeth when i sleep?

Not sure.  See a doctor though.

Do you believe in a thing called love?

Of course.

y u no?

y u no wat, boi?

Why did Vincenzo Natali try to (and possibly did) destroy his own career by writing that third act of the film Splice?

Unfortunately, I don't know of the film you're referring to.  How bad was it?

When will Valve be done with Half Life 2: Episode 3?

Hopefully before Duke Nukem Forever.

Why?

Why anything?

if there is an end to the universe, what is on the other side

A new universe, more glorious than the one before.

How much bread do you eat a day? Also, what type of bread do you eat?

Depends on the day.  If nothing else is around the house, I'll just take four slices of bread out of the package and eat them straight up.  As for what kind?  Either the cheapest thing in the store or this nicer stuff that's essentially sandwich bread but italian flavored.

When is the right time for someone to just give up on something?

(No don't worry, I'm not implying anything. I just liked the idea of throwing in a semi-tricky one. So there's your birthday present: me being a bastard. Happy birthday!)

When you have no way to improve your ability or accomplish the task, and you've put real effort into finding any new way to evolve, and it still isn't happening.

And thank you.

As far as splice goes... It was one of the worst third acts ever put on film. Considering act 1 and 2 were pretty and could have been great with a great third act... it's an abomination that he destroyed his own film and my ten dollars with that third act. I so badly want to tell you what happens but i don't want to spoil it for anyone.

Ok i'll post in small text....

Basically these two people created a genetically engineered new life form mixed with human DNa. They raise it like parents in secret. All going well. It looks like a monster pretty much, it's fucking gross. Then one day the husband out of no where. for no reason decides to fuck it. Yes, fuck it. Of course his wife catches them in the act. This was the start of the third act. Then it turns into a guy, yeah you read that right and decides to rape his mom. The entire film it doesn't speak. Then when it's about to rape her it says "I want to be inside of you." and rapes her. They kill it eventually. At the end of the film of course she is pregnant with it's baby and decides to sell it for money. What was once a promising film about cloning, etc... turned into that for no fucking reason. IT's worse when you actually see it.
