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.

when reality get to real it’s time for a grand delusion
There’s a bar in Eau Claire, WI that serves a drink called that…
“Literal Nazis”… o the delusions…
Steve Bannon is in the administration.
Steve Bannon describes himself as a member of the Alt Right.
Alt Right is literally a euphemism created by Nazis to describe themselves. Bannon is aware of this.
As of tomorrow, there is a self described Nazi in the White House.
My personal experience with “alt-Right” is a term Liberals use to lump conservatives in with Nazis. Conservatives as haters and Nazis is a time-honored liberal accusation that has been in circulation since 1984 and Reagan.
Dude… Alt Right is literally a term created by self procliamed Neo-Nazi Richard Spencer. It’s their word, not “liberal’s.”
Liberals like me just call them what they are: Nazis.
And yes, that term has been diluted by people over using it from all political sides, but that doesn’t change the fact that their are literal Nazis still in America, and Alt Right is the term they made up for themselves.
(I really don’t want to keep going on with this — just because I have a degree in Political Science doesn’t mean I want to turn this into a political discussion — but if you don’t think that three LGBTQIA+ women wouldn’t be concerned with what’s happening in American politics right now… then you don’t get out much)
‘Human Tire Fire’…. simple, yet accurate. I like it.
…the phrase, not who it refers to. No liking there.
