jangbones - 2012-07-12 Production costs fluctuate wildly. Its a very strange business, where vendors and clients cut deals constantly. Prices for everything in production move like the commodities market.
I only have a television perspective but I know movies have similar funding deals, and I imagine live events do also.

I could listen to Patton talk about failures forever.
Extra star for "cool future gadgetry in the mid-nineteenth century." I envy people who don't know the word "steampunk".

dairyqueenlatifah - 2012-07-11 So Steampunk is a real word? I thought that was just some word gamers made up to describe post 16-bit era Final Fantasy games.

Chalkdust - 2012-07-12 It was coined in the late 80's (mimicking "cyberpunk" which had emerged a few years earlier) to describe kind of neo-Victorian sci-fi/fantasy fiction that was being produced, at that time, by Tim Powers, James Blaylock and K.W. Jeter. Jeter himself came up with the term and self-applied it, as there wasn't a snappy categorization for the kinds of stuff they'd been producing.

Rodents of Unusual Size - 2012-07-12 Yes and there are literally hundreds of websites devoted to it.
I am the Cena Mark brony of the steampunks on this board in that I am the only one that admits to liking it.
I hate Wild Wild West and in the steampunk community it is one of the only related films that is openly reviled. Along with the remake of the Time Machine, which is awful.

SteamPoweredKleenex - 2012-07-12 The "punk" suffix has also applied to a few other things. I'd heard the Wild Cards novels edited by George RR Martin described as "Splatterpunk" for the amount of bloody violence contained therein.
Now it seems to mean "sub-culture in a given genre, usually fantasy or sci-fi, that has an easily identifiable aesthetic."

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2012-07-12 "Steampunk is the intersection of technology and romance"
It's like the taste sensation when maple syrup BAM collides with ham!

What's the big deal? I too hang out with 300 people everyday.

I met a steampunk who lived out of his van at a flea market once. He would not shut up for 40 minutes straight. When he was trying to explain to me what steampunk is I told him "Yeah, I know. It's like that movie Wild Wild West." He gave me the most disgusted look and said "uh...well yeah it is, but I prefer to use the movie Steamboy as an example."
Even Steampunks don't like Wild Wild West.

Kabbage - 2012-07-12 A steampunk stole the love of my life. I will never come to terms with that.

SolRo - 2012-07-12 She couldnt resist his van?

memedumpster - 2012-07-12 "Look at all this cool stuff that looks like it should do something but doesn't because it's bullshit glued to other things like some kind of goddamned broken typewriter hoarder! Do me!"
You're better off, Kabbage.
|
Kabbage - 2012-07-12 I-I could've grown out an ironically curled dapper mustache too... i-if... she had just asked...
Well, they cosplay together now and seem to be very happy, so I guess I'll just blow my brains out with this non-functioning steam-powered capsule-pipe laser pistol.

How to mess with a steampunk.

For the Kool Moe Dee shooting himself bit.
And Jesus, why do Scientologists always have such ridiculous huge entourages? Are they afraid they might escape?

Rodents of Unusual Size - 2012-07-12 I love that people have been walking around for two years with FREE KATIE T-shirts. And now she is!

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2012-07-12
Kenneth Branagh was in that fucking movie. Kenneth Branagh!
|
John Holmes Motherfucker - 2012-07-12 Actually, am I crazy, or was Kenneth Branagh the only good thing in that terrible movie? He seemed to be having a good time.

For reminding me how much i hated the Wild Wild West movie.

The best part about this movie is all the stupid shit they forced into the movie that was SUPPOSED to be in the never-produced Kevin Smith/Tim Burton version of "Superman". That's how largely interchangeable big-budget blockbusters are.

Kabbage - 2012-07-12 Whoa, really?
I DEMAND DEETS

Kabbage - 2012-07-12 Oh god. Perfect.
