“Regrets, I’ve Had A Few…”

Heh. Up too late writing posts again, I was (er, am). Hitting “Publish” instead of “Save Draft?” Yes, I did. Fixed post a few times fast because it wasn’t supposed to go up for maybe two days? Oh, yes and yes. To bed for my restless self to get more done in a few hours? That would be me. Now, good night (before I make another mistake). I’m doing it my way, but when one is half away, it looks like a lot of monkeys with typewriters are doing it THEIR way. Damn monkeys. Back in a bit, Zzzzzzz.

Annnd, We’re Back (After A Mistake or Two)…

Okay, so I didn’t get much sleep Monday night (as in none) and I wasn’t feeling so hot, but I decided to get some work done. Kind of a bad idea, as I ended up deleting a long article I’d been working on before it auto-saved (gyaaah!) and did it AGAIN with another one not too long afterward. Boo. Anyway, after some actual rest and a decent cup of coffee, I’m back in action (instead of back inaction, HAW!). I need to get back outside and down to the library in a bit, as I got up a few hours back to tackle laundry (Part One) and get a package out.

Back in a bit…

RoboCop “Man and Machine” 1 & 2 (Or: Oh Man, What A Machine!): Get Me Rewrite Edition!

 
Aha. I see what happened! I accidentally overwrote this post somehow thanks to having TWO “Add New Post” tabs open, using one to post these trailers, closing up shop for the night and restating today to use that second window. WordPress recognizes multiple windows open as the SAME post, so if you try to be slick and do multiple posts in different tabs, you’re going to simply overwrite the first post as you think you’re publishing NEW ones. Blargh. I haven’t done that in a while, so I’ll need to NOT do that again. (gives self Vulcan memory pinch): “REMEMBER.” Any-way, here we go again (and I HATE rewriting stuff, so it’s a bit different this time:

 
As you can see, there’s a new shiny metal sheriff coming to town, so you’ll want to be extra good while hoping this film is as well. I think it’ll do well on its own merits, but you know some of the die-hard who want that R-rating will be going after this one for anything they see as not as good as the original. On that note, I say as long as you guys cling to that classic, it’ll live on forever. But don’t poop on this reboots’ parade if it manages to get stuff right and isn’t a bad film at the end of the day. Granted, it’s going to be headed to home video in what, four to six months from now and possibly hit cable before the end of the year, right? So you can see this without paying that ticket price. I guess if you average in whatever you pay for cable or whatever streaming service you use, you’ll be buying this for LESS than a dollar soon enough. Ha and ha ha.

 
Meh – I like the old post better, but this will have to do. At least I dug up a third clip I just noticed while recovering the other two. The FUNNY thing is I had a tab with the old post in it open, but closed it, so I could have copied and pasted the darn thing if I’d caught the error! Ah well… Love me, love my dumb mistakes!
