    He reminds me of this scene from “Ruthless People”:

    So, will this end with a 16 ton weight crushing him and removing him permanently from the comic?

    Time to get a Restraining order Ruth, maybe also talk Sarah into getting one too.

    I’m kind of wondering if Terrence knows what words mean, or if he just randomly chooses words to insult people. Sarah’s behavior could be described many ways, but “nosey” isn’t really one of them.

      Frankly, none of the rest of the insult applies either. It sounds to me like he hit on her and she rejected him, that sounds like usual sort of dudebro projection.

    With respect to all; while it’s a very hateful thing for him to describe her as, Sarah has been a canonically promiscuous character, so “half-the-town” is mere hyperbole. Whether or not she practiced safe sex with all her lovers remains to be seen.

    Then again, if I recall, Ruth is ACE so that might not be an issue for her at all: perhaps they’ve only cuddled or gone on dates

      I’m not really sure why you’re trying to justify a line literally written to be something only a hateful, awful person would say

So I Updated the Steven Seagal Movie Generator?
11 June 2025 - Traegorn
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.
