I Wish This Was About "Lost" Too.

When talk of global warming started gaining some credibility, thousands hundreds dozens looked to Kevin Costner’s Waterworld as a harbinger of things to come. And I assumed I’d never hear any more about it until a rakishly handsome boy was born with gills.

But it seems Kevin will make fools of us all. You see, Waterworld was never meant to be a real movie but rather a clever ruse to obtain the technology necessary to separate oil from water. And after the terrible oil spill in the Gulf, everything’s coming up Costner.


AOL News
reports that the machines he developed during the making of Waterworld work faster than existing models, clean 99% of the water, and actually produce usable oil. Way to go, Science. You’re getting beat by The Postman. Step your game up! He was in Swing Vote! Have some shame!

And, at the risk of this sounding like a comedy bit, AOL is still around and has news? And, presumably, cub reporters just trying to break a big story on Kevin Costner? Why am I saddened by that? Do any ‘Jibans still use an AOL account and, if so, is it literally a steampunk-style series of tubes?

Aw heck, I don’t mean to poke fun. There’s just no “Lost” news left and I have to fill time before the finale.

This oil spill is absolutely gut-wrenching for me to watch, as I'm sure it is to many. I'm so grateful to Costner for doing this. Sadly, the effects of this spill are still going to be long term and far reaching.

This totally sounds like the plot of a Terry Pratchett novel. A plucky, sarcastic hero just wants to make movies and money, but ends up saving the world. Hilarity ensues, and somehow we all finish the book a little wiser about our own world.

Is this for real, cause it's hIlarious. To be honest, I actually liked Waterworld, but that's just cause I love anything in which humanity is losing its battle for survival. But I didn't expect anything good to actually come from the movie. Why in the world did he even need this technology. Did he pour a shit ton of oil into the ocean that he then had to get out?

I used to be scared to death to **** at school back in elementary school because teachers would take their whole class on a bathroom break and if anyone was ****ting then the whole class would form a line and peek through the cracks in the door to see who's ****ting and then laugh at you and spread it around school. One time my class was in the bathroom and kids started to form that line and the kid in the ****ter stuck his dick (yes tiny) through the crack in the stall and started barking at us so we wouldn't go look at his face. needless to say, we never found out who was taking a **** at school that day.

it also sucked because the ****ing kids at my school would have like an internal clock that would go off if you left the room for too long to use the bathroom and then they would accuse you of taking a ****. so my trick was to sign out to go to the bathroom and then i would walk VERY VERY slowly out the door and stop and look around a little bit then VERY VERY slowly start heading towards the bathroom making sure that everyone saw how slow i was moving. then i would HAUL ASS to the bathroom and **** my brains out and wipe super fast then i would BOOK ASS back to the room and right before getting to the door way i had to walk REALLY REALLY slow and stop at the door and look around again and slowly walk in and sign out my name because i knew everyones clocks were going off alerting them that i was probably taking a **** but once they saw that i was dilly dallying they would brush it off as someone just wasting time..... not taking a ****. rough times in elementary school i tell ya, but im still here today which means i survived it.

You are ossom!

Also I used to do that too.

Adventureman is more mysterious than Lost. And makes (incrementally!) more sense.

Well. This is an unexpected and sensible use of millions of dollars begotten through elite posey-posing, intoning and gesticulating. I can't hate on that at all. Ever. Well done.

I also kinda liked Dances With Wolves. I liked the Wolf.

Esme, your comments are the coffee I start my day with.
Now I'll have to read some Pratchett...then be sad for a while about his Alzheimers...but ultimately I'll feel smarter and better as a person for having read him.

Adventureman
You are a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Truly, sir, a poet laureate of Pajiba. ****ting stories touch the heart of every man, woman, and whatever the hell Skitz is. You speak to our very souls, and elicit stirring memories from the dusky past. Who among us has never has a ****ting at school/work/goat barn at the county fair/ story that we recall with shame and horror.
Your tale pierces to the bone.

Didn't everyone in Waterworld smoke? Where were they growing the tobacco?

Are you telling me that those fucking geekified douchebags that go to MIT couldn’t figure out how to clean up an oil spill but Kevin Costner could? The guy was already gettin’ grade A pussy, now he’s going to able to get Bono grade pussy.

Posted by: Pookie at May 24, 2010 10:04 AM

Pookie, Bono Grade Pussie is some skanky barely legal little bimbo in a bikini-Oh...well...fair cop I guess

Posted by: Nadine at May 24, 2010 3:32 PM

Ok Nadine I really didn't want to go down this road. But if you think Cosner is getting better pussy than Bono you are crazy. Cosner is getting that birkenstock wearing, celery juice drinking, environmentalist, treehugger grade pussy. And Bono, shiiiiiiit, Bono gets that cannes, house of chanel grade pussy.

Hold on. Was the machinery actually produced in conjunction with his making Waterworld? I didn't get that from the story. Still bizarre nonetheless.
