So it was literally more than twenty years ago that I first put one of my dumbest creations on the internet: The Steven Seagal Movie Generator.
Like I seriously publicly launched that dumb thing back in 2004, and for those of you who were unaware, it assembles a title, cast and plot of a fake Steven Seagal movie from elements of his (real) bad films.
I honestly got the idea from a former-friend, who in high school wrote a comedic piece about how you could mash up the titles of Seagal films in the weird underground "newspaper" that got handed out for a few years. But I took it a few steps further, and made a whole thing.
Mostly it just sat there though, a thing I made once and never went back to. I followed it up with the Sci-Fi Channel Movie Generator (later retitled the Syfy Movie Generator) in 2008. I spent more time on that one, doing a later design update that made the "Syfy" movies show up on a fake DVD back cover.
But the Steven Seagal generator just sort of sat there, untouched.
And Steven Seagal kept making (terrible) movies with (predictable) titles. Like a lot. But the generator still only spat out movies culled from the nineties and early 2000s, ignoring all of his new stuff. There was a whole library of awful movies that just weren't in there, and it made the generator feel less relevant.
So, uh, I went and did something about that today.
First off, I redesigned the page. Now it looks like the back of a VHS tape box. Then I loaded the elements of about twenty-five additional films into the generator. And that was harder than I thought it would be, since some of the films are so obscure that they're not well documented. I literally had to do some deep research to figure out a lot of the basic plot details that are now in the generator.
But I did it.
And it's done.
And the generator is now fully loaded.
It's still useless and dumb, though.

I <3 you for the Hartnell/Troughton joke!
It’s not the first time we’ve seen those doors — Tara used to live in that dorm (http://www.unconventional-comic.com/2011/03/relative-maturity/). All the dorms on the Clearwater University campus share their names with Doctors, it’s just that we’ve only seen one other building — the two towered Baker Hall (http://www.unconventional-comic.com/2011/05/calling-seat/) — you’ll have to trust me on the second tower existing outside of frame — it’s based on a layout I’ve seen on at least four different Wisconsin campuses.
I that’s the first time I saw you draw a stick character in a tank top.
Next I don’t think those guys will ever be taken seriously on a College campus that has like I don’t know, maybe thousands of different students going around the place and probably most of them don’t care about one club that’s probably small compared to some others like maybe a sports club perhaps there’s a Rugby team that has more attention than those guys.
Actually, there have been several background characters in tank tops, you just have to look for them. Veronica and Megan also wear one sometimes, but it’s not as noticeable because they either wear an overshirt or jacket as well. Circa 2002 flashback Lynn also wears one too, just also layered with the fishnet shirt.
But that’s just it, they were covered so i couldn’t tell it if it was tank top or not. I know you tell me the stick characters are meant to interpreted as real human beings with normal bodies. But it’s kind of hard to see stick character were nor clothes when their stick bodies have no human like features such as the women not having actual breasts present but more of a shape in the clothing to let us the readers know they are there. It’s just one of the things makes it challenging to interpret at times.
Now I’m not asking for that stuff nor do I really want to that. I’m just saying a Tank top without covering looks kind of interesting on stick female when their isn’t real skin present. But I digress. I guess it’s the first time I’ve seen a tank top present without a cover.
Okay, this would be the point where I’d call the police about harassment. These guys followed Ruth to work and are exhibiting behavior that can be seen as irrational and possibly threatening.
….these guys obviously aren’t the brightest bulbs in the pack… a protest of this nature won’t do anything. The one with power would be the academic advisor, who as I recall, Ruth has already spoken to.
