Connery Continued

In this Connery post we're going to hit two of the movies where he plays a supporting character. In all honesty, that's what Sean does best; playing supporting roles rather than taking to much of the spotlight. In his younger years he was probably the best man for the job but standing next to Nicolas Cage and Kevin Costner help with your credibility. Or is it the other way around? Sitting next to Sean Connery helped with Nicolas Cage's and Kevin Costner's credibility?

Anyway, if we've not figured things out we're talking about two very specific movies made some time ago. One back in the mid 90s, one year short of direct middle in-fact, and the was released just a few months after my own birth. Scary, huh?

Sean Connery

Broken posts, missed birthdays, quickies and masturbation aside, lets talk about something serious for a moment or two. (Kind of weird to talk about masturbation and have an image of an old man next to it, huh?)

Lets talk Sean Connery!

when is evil cool? has made aware that Sean Connery is eighty and has been retired from acting from some time but, in suit of our friend over at the previously mentioned blog, it feels important to mention which of his movies were the most awesome.

Bond is being ignored. Why? Cause that's to easy and we end up getting into Who's the better Bond arguments, which I'd like to avoid. Let us start this list with the most odd and least seen, at least by us at Solve Unamusement.

The Hunt for Red October is a film about a Russian submarine commander that basically goes AWOL and wants to blow up the US in a time that is otherwise peaceful among the nations. Needless to say, no one is happy about it and everyone tries to stop the crazy dude from completing his goal.

What's so odd about this is the fact Sean Connery is playing the Russian submarine commander but still sounds very Scottish. Call me an ignorant American but isn't that.... wrong?

Birthday Blog News

Solve Unamusement had a birthday!



....two months ago.

That's right! According to the date on the very first blog post (which isn't used as a faux static page which should be changed over to blogger's actual static pages) Solve Unamusement's first post (called simply "Unamusement" at the time) was on Jun 11th 2009. How cool is that? We missed our own B-Day!

Solve Unamusement should apologize for itself by getting a super-special-awesome gift but we wont cause if it took two months to remember, whats the chance of getting such a thing? ZERO! Anyway, happy birthday Solve Unamusement; lets hope next year we do this not two months late.

Glory To Thee- I'm Not Posting That!

Anyone who listened to the song within this post and said to themselves "That doesn't have as much sex as Dudel promised it would" is totally in luck.

Well sorta-kinda in luck. You see, this next song might be about sex with no innuendo's or beating-around-the-bush or anything like that however it is less sex and more literally about masturbation.

Hey, it is my blog and I'll post a song about people doing things to themselves if I wanna!

Really, it isn't as bad as I imply... or maybe it is? Hard to tell now-a-days with the way the internet is. Could always resort to potty humor. (Damn it, that post is broken!)

GLORY TO THEE!

It Broke (Flashback)

After posting on Metroid again I realized something. Ridley was missing! So, for giggles, decided to go see if any other posts were broken in some goofy manner. Mostly Youtube being lame or some such but hey, this is a cheap cop-out and lets folks see how lazy I am as a blog writer.

YouTube is a real stickler about copy-written material, you know that?

Looney Tunes are all broken! All but the one not hosted by YouTube. It is annoying!

On an older post about The Nightmare Before Christmas Wikipedia broke on me. Yeah, seriously! How lame is that? Do I gotta host every single image all by myself... and catch them myself? I can't cheat!? Not even with Wikipedia!?

Here is another one except this time there isn't a real reason. " This video has been deleted," It says. Why thanks for the update, I didn't see the fact it wasn't there I'm a complete and total idiot! Why would be nice.

And, finally, we'll drop one about Starship Troopers. While the first doesn't seem to bad... it isn't original sound audio they chose, the second is just plain old gone and it was technically covered under creative license as they made something NEW from the old content. There was real edit, customization etc and the creator gave credit for original material so what's the deal?

F U Internet, you broke-ed my blog.

After Armageddon

Ever wonder what the world would be like if everything that was once moving took a total stop on how things ran? Ever get that paranoid itch in your head that your next flu could kill you and five of the six BILLION people on the planet earth? Have you ever thought or wondered just how fragile we, as a species of humans, are?

A nine part YouTube break up of a History Channel show explains what may happen once the world is overtaken by its own irrationalities. Will you be a survivor or one of those coughing up blood?

Speaking of Metroid

Ah yes, speaking of Metroid who here knows that Super Metroid is one of the best games to ever be created in all of games that ever was? Right under Morrowind for best game of all time.

Never Played but Listened

Today we talk about those games we have never played but have listened to the soundtracks of. While games like Morrowind set a mood and games like Persona 3 are being "hip to their audience" some games just can't be played for whatever reason so we enjoy them second, or even third, hand.

It all starts with 8-Bit and then works to 16-Bit and further down the line to what was shared. In fact, some game music is so awesome that people rip OST (Original Sound Tracks) files and put them out for others to enjoy.

Random Generation

Thanks to our friend Splash over at Whatever-The-Heck-She's-Calling-It-Now we have come across something that can kill hours and hours of your life away and that is right up Solve Unamusement's ally. Just think, a way to create nonsense without thinking about it.

Dudel coordinates a chest inside a circle. The castle rants in any midnight! The snack deranges a satire beside the rising discharge. Why won't the mayor bean Dudel? Dudel reinstates a basis.

Can a patent revert? Without Dudel declines her twentieth purge. An unconscious rivals a determined scope next to the immense sea. Dudel associates with the blanket before a kindly guitar. When can a confidential monkey lust? The oxygen pales Dudel behind the historian.

What that even means is beyond this writer but really, blame Splash

Creative Tools

Supposed to help with writers block and the like- come to think on it, let us just copy-paste from their site.

These tools will generate random words, sentences, or paragraphs. You may want to use the generators to help you in your own approach to brainstorming. You can also use the sentence and paragraph generators if your tastes in comedy lean toward the absurd.1

Anyway, have fun and kill a few hours. Maybe make a story and share it with us at Solve Unamusement

Novella Chapter One

Let us give that which has almost been completed a bit of time on the blog. Hell, what is the point of having a blog if you can't shamelessly plug things every-so-often, right? Would make a second blog all about stories and art and blah blah blah, but that is what dA is for and why internet artist people have them.

Example: DudelRok @ deviantArt

So shameless plug of general dA account out of the way let us post the story chapter one and let it be done. However it should be noted that while this is the first chapter there is more to it both before and after. Soon to be finished as well.

~~~~~~~~~

Chapter One: Meet Mr. Nothing
Excerpt: (The) Novella

"What a beautiful day," I wake up to start my day as I have always started it, with a lie. Saying the words that don't come out the way intended, this day is not beautiful. It's the middle of winter, my heater is broken and the rain is heavy. Today is not a beautiful day in the slightest. "Come on Whiskers," I call for my cat who I don't even remember bringing home, as I shift from my matted sheets. Sheets on a bed that are sitting on top of rotten wood, the floor could give away at any minute but, "It's such a beautiful day." I only remember seeing the cat once but that could have been a dream, I don't really remember. Whiskers doesn't come to me but he never does, or was Whiskers a girl cat? It doesn't really matter.

Blog Rolling

A quick post, though not exactly a quickie, to follow through with some old amusements that unlike wishes have actually new content to keep people going back for more. That and something new, always something new because otherwise we are defeating the purpose of things.

• I'm Remembering!: I'm remembering! is a blog that those who enjoy childhood memories as that's all they do, bring up things from the past.

• Asja Boros: Some may or may not be aware, unless reading the blog that was on blogger, Asja has moved her blog to the main site and has even opened up an online store. At the very least this means the ability to view older artwork of hers.

• Legend of Neil: Originally suggested by someone who probably doesn't even read anymore, Legend of Neil is now on Season Three Ep 2.

Those three should kill a little bit of your time but if they don't here is a song with implied sex and innuendo minus the implication and innuendos.
