"2015.06.02: They're That Rich"
|
Jun 02 21:56:31 <DocMui> Silly question, guys...how rich do you think Mugi's family is? Jun 02 21:58:52 <Z-Gryphon> They're implied to have more than three beach houses (the smallest of which is enormous and all of which contain professional-grade music studios), they vacation in Finland, Mugi can alter those travel plans whenever she feels like it for any or no reason. Jun 02 21:59:03 <Z-Gryphon> I wouldn't be entirely surprised to learn that she has a robot maid and a pet mad scientist. Jun 02 21:59:16 <DocMui> ZG: *snrk* Yeah, that's possible. :-) Jun 02 22:00:25 <Z-Gryphon> (or that her mother's maiden name was MacDuck. Or von Drake, if you would prefer to be a little less obvious about it. She does look unusually Nordic for a girl named Tsumugi Kotobuki. :) Jun 02 22:01:21 <Philip-M> But in UF, that's in terms of on Diqiu. Jun 02 22:01:35 <DocMui> Phil: *nod* Jun 02 22:02:14 <Z-Gryphon> that just makes them richer. do you have any idea what it costs to vacation in Finland when you live in Zipangi Narnia?--G. -><- Benjamin D.

Why just one pet mad scientist?

>>Why just one pet mad scientist? > >Because more than one would no longer have been a reference to >Professor Keenbean from the old Richie Rich comics. True, though my mind (sadly) went back to the live-action film that came out in the 90s, where it seemed the Rich family had a whole wing of the mansion turned into an R&D lab. (Have I ever mentioned how many movies I saw during the 90s that I wish I could forget?) -------------------------- CdrMike, Renegade Time Lord "I have questions, but number one is this: What in the name of sanity have you got on your head?"

LAST EDITED ON Jun-06-15 AT 03:16 PM (EDT) >>>(Have I ever mentioned how many movies I saw during the >>>90s that I wish I could forget?) >> >>Can people remember a movie from the 1990s that they don't wish >>they could forget? > >No. Actually, I'm gonna have to retract that myself; a bit of research turns up that Predator 2 came out in 1990, and I love the hell outta that movie. Not only did it produce one of my favorite "theater audience reaction" moments (which I think I've described before), it possesses a standard of quipsmanship that sets it aside from almost all other '80s/early-'90s action movies (with the arguable exception of the Lethal Weapon films, coincidentally also starring Danny Glover). That's a border case, though, and it could easily be argued that, as a film that came out in 1990 and a sequel to one that came out in 1987, it's really an '80s movie that didn't quite manage to be in its decade. The only other counterexamples I can think of off the top of my head are animated movies (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, 1993, and the original Toy Story, 1995). --G. -><- Benjamin D.

You know, bigger than a breadbox?"), "Adventures of Pricilla, Queen of the Desert", The Matrix..I'm sure there's others, but... So, yes. There are many movies from the 90's I don't wish I could forget. -- -Pasha "Don't change the subject" "Too slow, already did." |

>Can people remember a movie from the 1990s that they don't wish >they could forget? >From memory, and reading a list of "top 200 movies of the 1990's" I came up with a grand total of 9 movies from the 90's that I really enjoyed and don't wish to forget. For an entire decade, that's not very promising. Star Trek VI Galaxy Quest Forrest Gump Heat Reservoir Dogs Falling Down The Truman Show Wag the Dog The Matrix

LAST EDITED ON Jun-06-15 AT 03:27 PM (EDT) >Clearly, the Kotobukis just cut out the middleman and bought Finland, >lock, stock, and national airline.Well, Finnair is one of the safest airlines in the world. They haven't lost a passenger since 1963! If nothing else, that's a sound investment, and we know the Kotobuki Group is all about sound investments. --G. Now some part of me wants to commission a shot of Mugi dressed as a Finnair purser (second from right, the one with the white stripe). -><- Benjamin D.
