Automatic Bad Movie Trailer Generator What's the worst movie title you can imagine? And who just has to be in it?

I could only get it to fully work in IE, unfortunately, being the huge mozilla bigot that I have become. Still, cute.

And I thought it wouldn't work in Mozilla because I removed the Flash plug-in months ago. (I got tired of the omnipresent obnoxious ads that use it.) Not that I knew I needed Flash to experience it (ahem).

But yes, it was amusing and worked fine in IE with Flash.

Anyone else get 'Introducing Miguel Cardoso in MetaTalk' as their very first one? Looks over at q in the corner.

Now how could that have happened?

Quonsar makes me laugh about once a day. I would start a Metatalk post about users who make me laugh, except that it would be so Cardosoesque ("who are the Mefites that make you laugh?") as to be beyond parody.

Second that, jonson.

Another Mozilla user here. All it did was play Republica's Ready To Go at me. I can use XMMS for that.

Just music in Mozilla (Firestarter, Immigrant Song, tee hee) but just crashed IE on OS X. And luck with Macs?

No joy in Safari.

Crash time on Mac IE and Safari.

quonsar, this link doesn't go with my outfit....it clashes.

I'm telling you, quonsar, the mozilla rocks. I used to be like you... come over, join us... so much better...

this? this is the "real world distraction" that took you from #mefi, jonson? turn in your card!

There's a card? I thought quonsar was the card.

(Also, the browsers mentioned in complaints here very nearly comprise a roundup of the best options available for Mac users, so it's really not just whining.)

yes, namespan, it IS just whining. write to the site author if you have a complaint. posting your complaint here is worthless. a link poster has no control over the link whatsoever and you know it. and for one, i'll be damned before i load up 5 different browsers on 3 different operating systems before posting a link to mefi simply because it might not work on one of them. tough noogies. you pays your money, you makes your choice.
