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.

Craaaaawliiing iiiiin myyyy skiiiiin
Someone restrain lynn from giving that little brat what she deserves
I CAN NOT STAND fake cristians
No True Scotsman?
It’s not about “real” and “fake” Christians.
The religion doesn’t change people. At most it might give someone an excuse. No, a person is open minded or closed minded, a person is good or bad, a person is hurting or not hurting. And they happen to be Christian or happen not to be Christian.
A lot of the cast of UnCONventional is Christian. It’s just how the demographics work out in this country. Heck, Megan herself is a Christian. But while there are many open minded people of the Christian faith in this country, there are a lot who aren’t.
You don’t get to call them “fake” Christians because you happen to disagree with them. Heck, that minimizes the problem. It makes it not the responsibility of everyone else using the label to deal with those voices. Pretending they aren’t part of the same group actually EXCUSES their behavior.
But hey, I get your sentiment and frustration.
Woah, things are getting intense now.
….yeah, this ain’t gonna end with sunshine and skittles…
I’m curious about the comments in the last two comics referencing ending this with physical violence. I’m in no way a pacifist but in what way would that improve the situation? Also generally that’s not how adults solve their problems.
People always want to see Lynn hit people, even in situations where there’s no way it would be in character for her to do it.
This is gonna be a really rough read this month. phewww.
But people say all sorts of horrible shit in the first day or two of mourning, but she’s still an ass right now.
When I came up with the concept for this storyline, I made myself cry.
So my goal in the writing is “Make everyone feel as bad as I did when I conceived this.”
