I think that this movie will be fine. Since Guillermo Del Toro's directing, it's going to have Ron Perlman(good). Also, Tom Cruise may be a Scientologist douchebag but (like Ross said) he can act when he wants to. Collateral, Last Samurai, etc...
I think that Del Toro's enough of a fan of Lovecraft to do this story right and give the Old Ones the justice they deserve. I don't see any way that this movie could honestly be -that- bad.
Everything Del Toro's touched I've liked.

"I am suggesting we go to the public restroom, scan for bugs. I will sit in a stall while you get into the ventilation system and follow the vents down to the environmental control room. You access the environmental control terminal, patch the connection to me. Ripley, Coza, and myself will hack into the system via the environmental controls and gain access to Jakuta's information." Oriole replies as he enters the lobby.
"Ace, great job working on the octomorph. I've never seen a box like that, but I'm pretty sure that it will be a very important part of our investigation. Make sure you don't talk to us in the lobby." Oriole pauses. "I'm in the lobby now. How long until you are out of the offices and in the lobby?"
((ooc: What do I roll for scanning for sensor dust and/or listening devices in the restroom? I also will want to check the area around and just inside the vent shaft))

"On second thought..." Oriole says, moving to lean against the garbage can. "I could use those floorplans to find his terminal on their network and access it, or better one of us could with the help of myself, Ripley, and perhaps Coza. Friction, I'd need you to find a way to a terminal in a quiet location, accessible through your floorplans. Can you do this?"
He pauses, turning his head to look up the street in the direction of the ramen stand.
"I'm looking at the floorplans now. The only way I can get past the biometrics would be to input your information as an acceptable pass configuration for the biometric scanners. New user information is likely to be scrutinized by their network AI or network teams. Friction? I'm seeing a series of ventilation shafts accessible from the public restrooms in the lobby, which are likely to not have cameras. Let's move to the restrooms and sweep for sensory dust and then try to get to a terminal from there."
With that, Oriole puts his hand to his stomach as if he has a stomach ache, and turns towards the lobby's doors.

Oriole stops at the side of the street, throwing his Comfurt cup into a trash can. "Yes, I have been told that before, Ace. I will try to minimize my replies if you would prefer."
:IDEA (Intx3=45)Rolling 1d100:
"I have thirty minutes until my contact is ready to be met, so we may have some time. The biometric scanners are going to be an issue without tampering with them. Ace, are you recording your path towards his desk? Try and see if you can get a look at the door to the lab he works at." Oriole adds, scrunching up his brow in what he's experienced to be a display of deep thought. "The best overall option, if we can find it, is to get access to any sort of system that authenticates IDs. I'm sure the two of you could do the lying for all three of us, right? It's not my strong suit. Let me think here..."

"Ace is inside." Oriole adds to the banded conversation. "Friction is right, we cannot access until the real Aghassi leaves and we should not stray too far while one of our men is in a delicate area. In the meantime I have first person information coming to me at a ramen stand in just under thirty minutes that should explain more about why there is a media lockout. I find this information to be strategically vital if we are to anticipate our next move. Luck be with you, Reaver, keep in touch and we'll update you when we have more information as well. Anticipate a new revision of our mission status within the half-hour."
[Ripley, can you decrypt and load the documents to my entropics? I may be the only scientist amongst this group, so I'd like us to maintain an optimal state.]
"Friction, how do you intend to impersonate Aghassi? Do you have the ability to modify your body to match his configuration?" Oriole asks, pauses, and then speaks up again. "Ace, please be careful. I may not be able to pass the biometric scans to rescue you if you become endangered. I would assume you're being watched very closely."

"Gentlemen." Oriole emits over the private band. "I've got a contact who has information that is not mesh secure wanting to meet at a ramen stand in 30 minutes. I'm going to follow this lead since I cannot access the TTO facilities legitimately. As well, Ace, I have seen many octomorph walk on two legs. Typical human psychology in an octomorph would lead them to walk on two legs, as they may not be familiar with the concept of eight legged swimming. You are likely dealing with a human in an octomorphic shell, rather than an uplift."
[First Comfurt and next ramen, Ripley, I do believe I am going to experience becoming fat.]
Oriole watches the 18th century butler in the corner of his entropics, and listens quietly. "Please send me any data that you have so that I can review. If any of it is in a software form please encrypt it and forward it to my assistant, Ripley, so that she can check it for virii. Thank you, sir. Please extend my complements to Reaver."
Turning in the direction of the ramen stand, Oriole checks the time as he starts to stroll away from TTO.
"I will be there, Elli. Synchronizing location with you now."

[Well, Ripley, I'll guess we'll have to try to focus our search to people who aren't so prejudiced. It's a shame that more intelligent minds on such short notice tend to carry the same prejudices that the unwashed masses do...]

« on: February 23, 2011, 11:00:30 PM »Robot Master I less than three you and your amazing brain.
Word. I got yo' back the next time the fight happens, bruthah.
I got some more for you:
IBS = Irritable Bowel Squirrel. A man sized squirrel that can telepathically transfer his irritable bowel syndrome to villains and evil-doers.
King Maalox = The opposite of King Midas. This overweight Green Bay Packers fan has the amazing power to turn everything he touches into milky diarrhea.
Rabbi Goldmansteinbergman = The Jewish version of Jack the Ripper/Circumcision expert. Has bonuses to called shots to the penis with blessed knives. He is immune but not sympathetic to the plight of IBS, because the Rabbi once had a bad case of the schmilkas.
Markus Van Assassination = Mike D'Assassination's Dutch arch nemesis, who keeps stealing his kills for profit and ranking in the world's top assassination polls. The only thing he leaves behind as a calling card is the scent of Axe body spray and a half drunken glass of muscle milk.
Sex Minotaur = ...will catch you...and fuck you. This is awesome because he is a superhero. He's got a dick the size of a case of CD-RWs.
Giggle Guy = Professional clown that wants nothing more to be loved by children and the community that he protects, but his super power of being able to telekinetically rip all of the flesh off of his enemy's bones and then ignite their bodies in hellfire is a constant burden. His secret identity is actually another clown persona that doesn't look anything like giggles, making it more likely that he gets called for children's birthday parties. Oh, and thanks to a prior deal with a demon, if he ever dresses in anything other than clown garb he is going to be assaulted by a wave of demons that will drag him screaming into hell.
Posterboy = A ten year old boy who has two powers. One...he's indestructible. Two...when he decides he never wants to leave your presence he magically can never be any further than five feet away from you. HE NEVER SHUTS UP and ALWAYS GETS IN YOUR SHIT. Also, to make matters worse, every five minutes he does some sort of stupid dance and tries to get your attention so that you can "see what he made up." (any of you with kids are laughing your ass off at this one).
Lady Shakes = this female superhero has given so many hand jobs that she can literally grab her enemies with one hand and shake them until their bones start to break.

What about "Father Peace"?
It's Adolf Hitler from another dimension who has the powers of Superman and is a paragon of virtue, but due to a curse by Loki, the god of mischief, is completely unable to fathom why the people of THIS Earth do not like him. It causes him serious self esteem issues.
