NANAR!
EDIT: I'm surprised he failed to mention GRINDHOUSE. That was the most high-profile attempt I can think of to make something deliberately nanar and it failed to really take off precisely because everybody knew they were doing it on purpose. I mean, they were fun to watch, especially at the midnight double-feature, and I wish it had taken off and become a perennial thing, but it doesn't take on the same life of its own, "we've all just been through something incredible" experience of witnessing something you know was the product of earnest incompetence. It's not something you want to talk about and share with others.
As someone mentions in the comments, BLACK DYNAMITE comes closer to doing the job, but it's more a spoof of nanar, so while it's funny and something I recommend to people, it doesn't take your breath away in the same way as a ROOM or FATEFUL FINDINGS.
I was interested if there was anymore Tokes & Stokes or puppet talk, and just listened to the latter half I wasn't there for.
So... how you doin. 
I can't decide if it's funnier if Harry is just making that shit up, desperately trying to make it happen by force of will alone, or if there's some troll out there who's been biding his time for a decade and managed to get Harry to fall for essentially the same nonsense twice.
If I make a STAR WARS film ten years from now I'm using the working title "THE LOOMING FEAR" regardless of whatever we actually intend to call it. Just to fuck with him.
"What are you going to do if the books catch up to the show?"
everyone's like "what happens when you catch up to the books" and they're like "haha you were saying"
And we've still got Lady Stoneheart to introduce.
Look the last time a woman went to space in a movie all the satellites were destroyed and everyone got killed. Might have been coincidence but Harrison doesn't want to take the risk.
By the way, just for the record, as much as I complained about it, if we ever do any more T&S I am totally down to do Tokes again.

This was the only way to rip DVDs before you had DVD drives built in.

Technology now is dead easy. It's trying to transfer footage with practically a fucking hand crank and abacus that's confounding.

Please explain this "Log and Capture" contraption.
No joke -- the most challenging part of this whole thing was figuring out how to transfer the DV tapes to disk. I haven't done it in the better part of a decade, all the connections and cables are different and the software just did not want to do it.

Not a book reader, I take it.
I haven't seen the ep yet, but the scene that's got everyone in a tizzy was pretty rapey in the book too, as I recall.
Which is not to say that objecting to rape-as-plot-device isn't valid, it's just not something the show invented out of the blue.
EDIT: Also -- Stannis is "morally ambiguous"? Since when? Stannis is a guy who looks at the letter of the law and be damned to the spirit. Morality doesn't even enter into it with him.
From Reddit:
No game makes "sense." It's just meant to be something to do when you're bored.
Granted, this is why I watch movies and not sports. Movies are supposed to have a "point." Sports are just supposed to have a winner.
Baseball is the easiest sport to grasp by far. It's basically a board game. The goal of the players is to start at "home," round the other three squares and return to home, and when they do they score a point. Only one person can be on a base at a time so they have to round the bases in sync. The ball is a timer -- they can only move after it's been struck by the bat, and if the ball makes it to a base before they do -- the other's team's goal -- that playing piece (i.e. player) is removed from the board. If the player at bat fails to hit the ball after three chances, he's removed from the board for that round (inning). When three players fail in this way, the team's turn is over and they swap. The team who was trying to hit the ball becomes the one trying to catch it and get it to the bases before the other team, who is now trying to round the bases. They play nine paired rounds and whichever team has accumulated the most points at the end wins.
Don't ask me about football, though, because I have no idea.
Now you do cricket.
Thread is here. Feel free to repost in the existing thread. I'd just merge them but I don't think I have that capability.

You have, actually.
But it's been a couple years, so good time to revisit it.

In his defense, none of us could remember where it came from either.
Eddie wrote:My favorite episode of Tokes and Stokes was when Tokes shot that one guy and chief was all, "Badge and gun, Tokes!" and Tokes slams his gun down but removes the bullets first and is all "You can have the gun...the bullets are MINE!"
The puppet was notoriously difficult to work with on set (not the least reason being the Tokes performers were, shall we say, "method" actors), and this scene was particularly infamous for taking nearly two weeks to shoot. According to the tell-all I AM STOKES, this incident was the last straw that led Herb Voland (Captain McPkank) to demand his character be written out of the show.
You're right. It was below my iPad screen resolution's event horizon. Anyway that post felt like it took a real turn.
TOKES AND STOKES!
We really need a line separating the signature from the body of the post.
I basically can't handle how happy I am with how this turned out.
Wow, I actually had no idea. I think everyone I know -- including ones who grew up Catholic -- understands it as referring to the fact that her eggo got preggo without sex. Frankly I think the Catholic Church should just roll with the popular definition because the real one makes no sense.
I thought Salinger was fine, but the bits where it was like a search for Bigfoot were quite ridiculous, yeah.
I'm not sure that analogy "escalated," but it certainly did something quickly.
