Shouldn't we have had the right to expect better?...

New vocabulary word: "Succulent"
Meaning: "Succulent--having the trait, quality, or characteristic of sucking"
Usage: Why is it that the posts I've seen about the WCM don't mention the fact that the ships look absolutely SUCCULENT?... I mean the Rapier looks like a flying cigar, for Pete's sake!

The other ships don't fare much better. About the only ship in the movie that looks halfway decent is Paladin's cargo ship in the beginning of the movie (I forget the name), and the Kilrathi's Dralthi's appear to be in there. Don't we have the right to expect a better looking set of ships to watch in combat, given 8 years or so of some extremely cool-looking ships in the WC universe?... Surely it can't have cost much more to "draft" several of the already designed ships available (from the games) into servie for the movie. That's probably my main complaint in the movie, though there are several other beefs.

I don't understand what you're saying, do you think the ships look good or bad when you're jabbering on about succulent? You sure you're not Chip as well?

Paladin's ship was the Dilligent, but not Dilligent-class, I believe.
 
Well, i said what succulent means..... the true tasty thing in WCM is Saffron Burrows (GROAR)
 
Wedge:
I think you can get my drift as to succulence by both the definition I gave it at the top of the post, as well as the context of the message that followed it. And no, as I implied in the post, indeed NONE of the ships in the WCM were "tasty" in the least (that was pretty much my POINT)!...

Well I have to agree with Preacher AND Ghost....
Firstly ,I didnt think the ships looked that good either . I think they were trying too hard to make it look like WW2 in space. The ships didnt only look like something from that era , they behaved like them too. They even had crosshairs.
The only thing that made it watchable in my opinion (which is valid but means absolutely nothing in the long run) was Saffron Burrows. Hmmmm.

Same in Italian... though if you called a girl "succulent" in the streets of Rome, you'd get a hard slap on the face... <g>
 
Was it Stiletto who said 'Stick that in your pipe and smoke it'... perhaps now we know where it came from.

Come to think of it, the WCM Rapier looks more like the Panther than the Rapier (while looking nothing like the Panther either :)
 
According to the dictionary, Succulent means "Highly interesting or enjoyable".

Which is to say, this is the worlds stupidest thread.
 
You have no right to anything Preacher. Life gives you right to nothing.

If you ever made that sound at me Ghost, I'd think I'd wet myself.

I beg to differ. In our ongoing quest to mangulate the English language (which, from a linguist's point of view, is pretty mangulated already...), we invent new words all the time. You don't get it, do you?... It's a little thing I like to call "irony". The whole point is to highlight the fact that "succulent" generally means something that is good and desirable; whereas we use the term "that SUCKS" to indicate something that is very BAD and UNdesirable. To transpose the "newer" definition onto the older established term is to use irony to add to the richness(?) of our common tongue. OK, I'm down off my high horse now...

Nice try, but I think we all know what you meant when you said "New vocabulary word: "Succulent". <G>
