What was that one book series that Penny-Arcade kept making fun of?
...

It's a fake book series ("Song of the Sorcelator") by fake author L.H. Franzibald.

Btw, Vader needs to fire his entire weapon engineering team. Their targeting system sucks. How the hell can you miss anything with that technology - every shot with laser should connect.

"Blasters." Not "lasers." We don't know WTH a "blaster" is. I imagine that it is an energy matter hybrid that makes up for the slower travel by carrying an extra matter-assisted "punch."

Yeppers.

Although if you read their Blog, you would see that this was a rip on an actual novel series.

"Blasters." Not "lasers." We don't know WTH a "blaster" is. I imagine that it is an energy matter hybrid that makes up for the slower travel by carrying an extra matter-assisted "punch."

Exactly. Again, they key is not to explain. These "blasters" travel slower than bullets, can be stopped by shields, deflected by magical energy swords, and blocked by Vaders Super Gloves (I know, the Force...).

All that you need to know is that they are something "different" and that they keep following the same rules you outlined for them at the start.

That was kinda meant to be impossibilities, ya know?



hut-hut-hut-hut-hut-hut........

Clearly, so are movies by Bruce Campbel and the Angelina Jolie flick about assassins and bending bullets but I find it makes the movies funny (the difference of course being blues brothers is supposed to be funny while a lot of these aren't).

The whole "bullet time" thing in The Matrix movies always made me cringe. The more I saw it, the more nauseous I got.

What was wierd about that is that they can move at the super speeds but only from the waist up, their legs never move....

Within the context of The Matrix its totally plausible.
However it is fucking annoying and not nearly as cool as fanboys make it out to be.

He should be moving at a normal speed, actively avoiding the environmental things that are moving in slow-mo, making shockwaves with every effortless side step or arm movement. Instead, he falls back just as slow and avoids bullets that happened to be heading over him (most were fired after he started his fall).

The panty raid scene in Revenge of the Nerds...like the sorority sisters would not have seen all of the video cameras they installed in the ceilings.

The scene in A-Team where the team steals the truck with the money and proceed to drive it into the river. Upon hitting the river, the eight airbags deploy and keep the container afloat until a helicopter arrives to pick up the container.
