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.

Sarah is enjoying this way too much. Also, I need to remember this.
yea Bluetooth security is a joke but one that occasionally you can laugh at
Who else is thinking of a certain AMV?
Too bad the genre’s already been established. It’d be fun to keep hitting him with Beck’s “Mother****er” every time he turned it on. It’d certainly get the point across.
Probably wants to avoid vulgarity. Too bad, because can you picture his face when he hears “It’s Britney, B****”?
i’d go for the truly diabolical and loop the song from the end of the old Lambchop tv show on PBS
This is the song that doesn’t end yes it goes on and on my friend
The Lambchop ending would drive people insane at the con. But on the other hand, it would expose the vender for the jerk he is and perhaps get him blacklisted from any cons ever. Well maybe that’s a stretch but it could get him booted out though.
I mean if you go for a cheap BT speaker sure, that could work. If the speaker has even the simplest, most basic pairing or authentication controls, that doesn’t work
It did work, though.
Let’s hope he doesn’t figure out who’s doing this and take the song literally!
Perhaps something such as Teenage Enema Nurses in Bondage would have been better.
