x35 THE BEASTMASTER (11/28/97)

MOVIE
"Beastmaster." Esperanto for "pain." In a stunning opening sequence, Marc Singer is born of a virgin cow and borne gifts by three wise ferrets. Then he grows to talk to the ferrets and have them rip the flesh (Grrrrrr!) of Rip Torn. Meanwhile, the kid from Voyager, an eagle, a large black man, a spray-painted tiger, and an old blind guy round out the BM's menagerie. Then, everything is brown for a couple of hours. Brownish, variously oiled men and women gad about with swords and talk to animals for many years, all leading to a climatic fire at the end, in which all involved try to purge themselves of any involvement with this movie. This tantric beast magick would last until Turner wafted 20 bucks at the cast and crew and they all came running to make Beastmaster 2.

BryanL> "Kodo". Means "Covered in Crap".
bowleg> and Podo?
* bowleg kills movie
Jamie> Godo! Will Godo fling crap at him?
BryanL> Podo means "not covered in crap".
bowleg> alternately, "covered in much more crap"
BryanL> Few people realize this, but Dar's people have over 300 words for varying degrees of being covered in crap.
KevinL> Is Kodo gonna start playing the Japanese drums?
BryanL> He had three ferrets, but after Todo died, Dar used his skin to make lists on.
KevinL> Actually he had four, but Frodo lost a finger.
Ironf> Five but Dodo is dead.
BryanL> Actually, he had six, but he named two of them the same, and was up all night with his Nodos.
KevinL> Actually, he had 7, but dirtbikes made Modo cross.
Jamie> When does Marc visit his mentor, Yodo?
Jamie> To make it thru the movie I could use some Nodo -ze.
BryanL> Did that one already, Jamie.
KevinL> Well, he could probably use one of those Fodo's travel guides.
Jamie> Don't make such a big Todo, Bryan.
BryanL> Jamie: Did that one too. :)
KevinL> Everyone's doing what Yodo, bry.
KevinL> You should be flattered.
Ironf> Whodo voodo? Youdo voodo.
bowleg> the power of voodoo.
* BryanL hates his brother.
KevinL> Sodo the others.
KevinL> I'm sorry to keep doing these, but I have to fill a Quodo.
* Jamie runs to South Africa. Sowodo.
Jamie> Ah. But I said Todo as in to-do.
Jamie> Don't make such a big Todo.
BryanL> So, you said To do, whereas I said To do.
BryanL> To Do list. Get it?

Jamie> weak.
BryanL> Bah. My kung fu is better than yours.
KevinL> He's a master of the Two Laughing Ferrets style of Kung Fu.
Jamie> My Jodo is better than yours.
* BryanL is above more ferret name jokes.
KevinL> BryanL is out of ferret name jokes.
KevinL> I, on the other hand, have a Lodo.
Ironf> If he got a job, he could make some Modo.
THX-1138> Or a neighbor Totoro.
KevinL> A shit-Lodo, as it were.
* bowleg runs out of the room screaming
* BryanL holds moral high ground
Jamie> Me too. Got my Modo rising.
KevinL> I'm gonna go git a Sodo, brb.
Ironf> When she gets to the castle, she goes in the Hodo.
BryanL> Bah. I laugh at you from my moral high ground.
BryanL> And anyway, I'm too proud to mention his special shapechanging ferret.
Jamie> Too obvious, Bryan.
BryanL> Oh, who are you to judge me.
Jamie> He's gonna name his monkeys Sprodo and Chim-Chim.
BryanL> Sprodo?
BryanL> Ten yard penalty. Overstretching.
KevinL> Marc Singer was pissed off at losing a part to Brandon Lee. He coulda used some of that Crowdo.
BryanL> Dammit, Kevin! You chodo-smoker.
KevinL> Am I pissing you off, Brodo?
Jamie> Are those pods made of Glo-Do?
KevinL> They're making fertilizer, to help the plants Growdo.
bowleg> that's it.
* bowleg commits seppuku
Jamie> Rip's in a Moodo, isn't he?
Jamie> I know it's been said before, but Singer is a Loado.
KevinL> He's got his ferrets lined up in a Rodo.
BryanL> I liked that joke, Kevin. I'm a Rodo Rooter.
KevinL> This movie's going pretty Slodo.
