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.

come on Lynn you know you want a Geo Metro.
I love Ford too. Their stocks are cheap and pay good dividends. I made 28 cents on each share and with 98 shares, that was enough to reinvest two mkre shares. Also I loved their cars. Although I have a Subaru now, I always enjoyed driving Ford cars.
6-cylinder Honda accords aren’t that expensive and they have decent pickup…
But a Mustang.
Also, I don’t think Hondas are Union built. Lynn has very strong opinions on that.
Bah, Mustang would just have the same issues with snow – unless she wants one of those evil modern parodies of the line. And why the hell would you want that? Like buying a modern Dodge Charger… it’s just sad compared to it’s namesake “/
SOME OF US REALLY LIKE THE SIXTH GENERATION MUSTANG.
THE FIFTH GENERATION LOOKED NICE TOO (BUT DIDN’T DRIVE AS WELL)
The fourth generation Mustangs were ugly garbage though
Many Ford vehicle names become amusing when you stick the word anal in front of them, such as Ranger, Explorer, Expedition, Focus, and Fiesta.
I remember that from the Vegas road trip in A Girl And Her Fed!”
What would actually fit her needs is a Jeep. Great in bad weather, enough cargo space to haul con supplies easily, and designed for the owner to be constantly customizing it. I doubt that’s what she’ll go with, but it would work for her.
