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.

Well, that was utterly completely unexpected…
They’ve been together for four years and five months, living together for over three years, and same sex marriage is finally legal in their state.
A little out of left field in the narrative? A little – but that was on purpose, and only just.
But everyone should have been expecting this pretty soon. 😛
more the Way it was done then the fact that it was done to be honest i was expecting this since her dads funeral
Well, that was the “little” bit.
And yeah, everyone should have been expecting this since Megan’s Dad’s funeral. I was kind of telegraphing. 😛
Awwwwwww…
The whole “thinking about the future, gah!” immediately made me think it was going to lead to a marriage conversation. Not having seen these two discuss that at all made me not expect a proposal, because it’s becoming more and more common to cohabitate indefinitely without marriage, and I didn’t know their feelings on this. When thinking about any of my friends that have been together that long, I always think something like “It’s about time!” which is just ironic considering that Brian and I have been together longer than most of them have even known each other and feel no particular call to get married.
Eh, I don’t think its ironic — you just happen to be wired differently than a lot of other people. Nothing wrong with it.
That’s adorable
Not sure if that’s a horrible proposal, or a great one. Asuming of course it is a proposal… might be a vintage pokemon card in there, or something.
They don’t seem like the type to have a huge grand proposal. This actually fits them. No we wait for the reaction…
