MANTICORE IS ON. FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT YOU GRYPHON.

Please ohpleaseohplease, someone else turn on Sci-Fi Channel and discuss!!!

ETA:
12:11 am--Least convincing Mexican kid playing an Iraqi ever.
12:12 am--moonlightalice: "How come there are never good journalists in movies?"
12:13 am--I have decided that moonlightalice should summarize movies like this always: "It's a Manticore...on a helicopter!
12:14 am--moonlightalice again: "Is the black guy dead yet?"
12:27 am--SCORE! Manticore just referred to as "weapon of mass destruction." DRINK!
12:29 am--moonlightalice: "Black guy's dead!"
wellgull: "Chakotay lives because he still has to have sex with the reporter. Because that's what happens in war."
12:30 am--moonlightalice: "Like mythical beasts, the terrorists hate freedom."
12:40 am--Woo, the kid knows "Spielberg" but not what a camera is and the reporter has a gun.


YES! IT IS TIME FOR GRYPHON!!!! LET US LIVEBLOG THAT TOO!!!
12:59 am--moonlightalice: "How are there two movies with exactly the same plot on Sci-Fi right after the other?"
wellgull: " 'Gryphon' is set in medieval times, not Iraq (like 'Manticore'). So, it's slightly less improbable."
1:08 am--moonlightalice: "Wow, that is not a castle. They took a house and put pointy things on it."
1:11 am--Me: "Wow, I bet the gryphons in WoW look more realistic."
wellgull: "They do...well, as much as a mythical creature can look realistic."
1:12 am--moonlightalice: "It's not a good gryphon. He's being controlled by a fat religious guy with wenches."
1:14 am--wellgull: "It's a house made of stucco?"
moonlightalice: "It's a castle, dude. You can tell because of the pointed roofs."
1:27 am--Me: " 'Valley of the dead'? So this isn't a rip-off of LOTR at all."
moonlightalice: "Those were 'paths of the dead'. This is a valley. It's different."
1:29 am--Me: "If you die in the 'valley of the dead,' is that irony or the opposite of irony?"
moonlightalice: "What's the opposite of irony?"
Me: ....
1:30 am--moonlightalice: "Ghost horsie!" and "Oh my God, I bet this leads to horse porn."
1:31 am--Me: "Why would they want to rape horses in the Great War?" (beat) "Sorry, I was still thinking about horse porn."
moonlightalice: "It makes them men?"
1:32 am--Me: "How do you get to be a wench with small titties?"
moonlightalice: "You get a license! There are professional wenches at Ren-faires."
1:32 am--moonlightalice: "The entire party's been kidnapped by the gryphon, and he goes, 'I think it might be after us, too'!?!"
1:34 am--Me: (about Ron Livingston) "I would still have sex with him."
moonlightalice: "Is there anyone you wouldn't say that about?"
Me: "...the gryphon?"
moonlightalice: "What about the wenches?"
Me: "Them neither."
1:41 am--moonlightalice: "Is that like a euphemism?"
Me: "What, 'I can lead you to draconian pike'?"
moonlightalice: "Yes, and that line about 'now bring me my horse' only brings us back to the horse porn."
1:44 am--moonlightalice: "Does that say 'fear me'?"
Me: "It probably says something in Runic or whatever they speak."
1:45 am--Girl says "Keep him unarmed and close."
Me: "And have him naked and in my tent.
moonlightalice: "And bring my horse."
1:46 am--Guy says "I am not smitten!"
moonlightalice: "Yeah, I've got the horse!"
1:47 am--moonlightalice: "Wow, the message was in Runic!"
1:59 am--Crazed extras: "What's going on?"
moonlightalice: "Gryphon."
2:00 am--moonlightalice: "Wow, you can see her roots."
Me: You think a princess could afford a better stylist."
2:13 am--moonlightalice: "If you have sex, your country dies. And the gryphon? Wins."
Me: "This is like manticores hating freedom, isn't it?
2:16 am--moonlightalice: "Her name is Amelia?"
Me: "Ever wonder what happened to that pilot? SHE WENT BACK IN TIME!!"
2:21 am--Girl says "Am I a prize to be won?
Me: "You're the prize? 'Ooh, congrats on completing your epic quest, here's a punch in the face!'"
2:42 am--Me: "Uh, if that's your wife of, oh, about sixty years, shouldn't you be kissing her goodbye more intimately?"
moonlightalice: "No one wants to see old people making out."
wellgull ::grunts::
moonlightalice: "Besides you."
2:44 am--moonlightalice: "This had better end in hot lezbodian action."
2:45 am--Sorceror announces he wants chick for wife.
moonlightalice: "He's actually gay, he just wants wenches."
2:46 am--moonlightalice: "She's like the Enterprise! She's got her shields up! Look! Photon torpedos! Wait, is she dead?"
Me: "Uh, photon torpedos, hello?"
moonlightalice: "At least they weren't coming from her tits. Light at the end of the tunnel."
2:47 am--Sorceror puts together the two pieces of pike by slotting one into the other.
moonlightalice: "Also, that was totally sex."
2:50 am--Me: "Abortifacent magic! That's the best kind of magic."
moonlightalice: "I can't believe she didn't use birth control."
2:51 am--AND THEN WE ALL MADE HIGHLANDER REFERENCES!!!
2:52 am--EWWWWWWWWW and EWWWWW SOME MORE!!!!
2:53 am--Me: ::sniffles:: "My manticore went the same way!!!" ::sniffles some more::
moonlightalice: "The evil sorceror guy is like 'Next time, I'm getting a manticore. 'Cause in medieval times they didn't have cameras!"
