The New "Am I the Only One" Thread

Still, its better than it being lost forever.

And I would totally buy a series set of Adventures in Wonderland. Even if they did it like the Powerpuff Girls set and it was on double sided disks (which are evil by the way). I might even consider Book of Pooh.

Not sure about that sometimes, heh.

Not that I want the show to be lost forever, of course not. Just not sure I'd share it with my kids unless it was through the Old School DVDs (despite those scary and bizarre disclaimers, lol).

You lost me at Old School DVDs

What do you mean?

I dont know what you mean by that. Is it a brand?

Oh I just meant the Sesame Street Old School DVDs, which had disclaimers basically saying they shouldn't be used for educational purposes.

Oh I see XD

Heh, you are not alone Beaks, I too am not very fond of her either.

I will say this though, it's like she grew up RULLY fast (not in the way most young girls are described like, say, Dakota Fanning), I mean it seems like just yesterday she was a teenager, and now all of the sudden, she seems like a thirtysomething.

Can you say "scratch up easily?" I'm only so so glad I bought it... the fact they're double disks and, like I said, get very scratched very easily... not to mention my whatever the heck disk the Nano bot episode was on was defectively coded and skips on that episode (the LAST one I watched) and didn't bother bringing it back... I'm kinda wary of complete series sets now... well, complete series that aren't 13-26 episodes or less.

My Lion King DVD is defective as it is unable to play the "theatrical" version without the new song in it. It freezes and skips starting around when we see scar for the first time. I never bothered returning it. Stuff can happen to any disk. You just happen to be the unfortunate soul who gets the defective copy. But yes, I do hate double sided disks, but if it means its cheaper...

Ugh! I HATE that new song. How come everyone's all... WAAA! George Lucas changed a color of a light saber, but no one said, "why did you have to add the Broadway songs back in?"

If ANY song should have been forced back into the movie, it should have been the Timon and Pumbaa version of "Can you Feel the Love Tonight." Seriously... love those guys

But yeah... I bought a DVD in the mail, and it came off it's spindle and got badly scratched, and there's no way to return it and get another. Technically I only bought it because it was attached to a figure (My Lupin needed a Jigen!) and I'd rather get stuck with a DVD that doesn't work than lose that figure.

I love how they say it is a seamless transition. Its not. The movie pauses for a moment at the start and end of the song. On top of that, the animation is all over the place and Simba doesnt have whiskers. Its so obvious it was an afterthought. The song itself has an awful, choppy melody and does not fit with the movie at all. i can see why they axed it the first time around.

I agree Timon and Pumbaa's can you feel the love tonight should have been in there. It seems like it would have flowed better than that mess they put in instead. I dont really mind the re-animation in certain bits, but I am confused as to why they werent the remastered version exclusive and the "theatrical" version is edited as well. Its kinda misleading.

I'm SOOOOOO glad the 3-D movie rerelease to theaters DIDN'T have that in there. The biggest jar is that you can totally tell it's Jeff Bennet and they couldn't get Rowan Atkenson (I'm a huge Mr. Bean and Black Adder fan... you think I'd be able to spell his name right). I don't see why they didn't get whoever played him in the cartoon series. He was a little more dead on than him. Cam Clarke does a good adult Simba, whoever they got for the cartoon Timon and Pumbaa were pretty close too.

Anyway, I hate DVD's that do that too... I got a Dragon Ball one cheap, it paused every opening, both times during the eye catch, and once during the closing. Clearly the layers for the English dub and the Japanese dub, as they have different titles. I thought the thing was busted for a minute.

I think I may FINALLY have learned what the origin is of this whole derp/derpy/derpish/derp-derp meme thing is (My Little Ponies? Really?), and apparently what it means... apparently it's related to retardation in a politically incorrect way...

So, I have to ask, was I the only one in the world who DIDN'T know anything about the whole derp thing?

No no no no no no... Derp predated Ponies. Try South Park:



That's not all.

There was an episode regarding the fact that Chef's V.A. Issac Hayes left the show because of the Scientology episode, and the character was replaced by a Chef that would loudly yell "DERP" after very unfunny antics.

<--------- Nerd. Has never even HEARD of "derp." But every decade has its slang.

The only way I first heard/saw it was some troll on deviantART "stole" one of my pics of myself, and changed my speech bubble to include the words "Derp-derp!".

Am I the only one who thinks that the moron that runs Iran is basically just an internet troll that just wants a reaction out of everybody? If you listen to the various passive aggressive anti-Semitic stuff the guy says, it basically translates to sending Israel an e-mail that says "Hey loser! I was wit yo mama last night!"

Really... the people that run countries... all petulant children with NO parents to answer to.

and build them a home

All this talk of Iran and whatnot, my sister's got this whole panic-scare thing going on saying that if Iran bombs Israel (which apparently they're on the verge of doing so), that's when Jesus will finally return for messing with His chosen people.

But uh, hasn't Israel ALREADY been bombed by other countries in the past? Heck, wasn't Israel practically turned into a warzone back in 2008? I remember an internet friend of mine who actually lives in Israel was talking about people being evacuated from their homes and sent to shelters and safe houses and such while rockets went off everywhere and such.
