ScoreKeeper Lauds FSM's New 14 Disc Box Set of Ron Jones' Music From STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION!!
Greetings! ScoreKeeper here toasting the soundtrack savants over at Film Score Monthly for their latest and greatest gluttonous collection of fabulous film music...or in this case, television music.
Scores...The final frontier. If you have even the slightest interest in film or television scores then you are certainly aware of the Brobdingnagian influx of music that is being unleashed on a near daily basis. All the major labels continue their battle for our hard-earned dollars and we're left reaping the rewards. There are so many highly-revered titles coming out, my due diligence struggles to keep up with them all.
The next bombshell is the fifth box set release by Film Score Monthly. I'm a huge fan of their box sets and have the previous four in my personal collection (FSM Box-001 "Elmer Bernstein's Film Music Collection," FSM Box-002 "Superman: The Music," FSM Box-003 "MGM Soundtrack Treasury," FSM Box-004 "Miklós Rózsa Treasury"). Today, FSM announced that they are releasing an unprecedented 14 disc box set including the complete scores for forty, that's right...forty episodes of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION (1987-1999) all composed by Ron Jones!
This limited edition box set (5000 copies) features sixteen hours of complete scores from forty episodes aired during the first four seasons of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION including bonus tracks from Jones' "The Best of Both Worlds" and two computer games, "Starfleet Academy" (1997) and "Starfleet Command (1999). The audio samples sound exquisite as is usually the case with Film Score Monthly releases.
This is truly a labor of love and a life-long wish fulfilled for album producer and Film Score Monthly founder Lukas Kendall.
The online liner notes are available HERE.
For more information including a list of episodes contained on the disc, audio samples from selected tracks, and pre-ordering information visit HERE.
Autographed copies were available to the first 100 buyers but those have quickly been snatched up. If you would still like to get an autographed copy of the set for yourself, Ron Jones will be at Dark Delicacies on September 19th at 2:00PM to signs copies of this new box set. Pre-orders for autographed copoies are also being taken for those living outside of the Los Angeles area. Check out the web site for Dark Delicacies for more information.

14 discs of essentially the same thing?
by planty_mcplant_plants_his_plant_at_aicn
The music used for each TNG episode sounded virtually identical to me. I pity the fool who will listen to this. I can't believe anyone sane can sit through them all.

You idiots dismissing Jones because Trek music all sounds alike have no idea what you're doing. He was the guy fighting to have more adventurous music in Star Trek. He scored the Borg two parter, possibly the only episodes people remember the music from (and until now one of the only Soundtrack albums sold for Next Generation). What music was worth remembering from ST:TNG was made by him. Maybe you lot remember him better for scoring Ducktales, but I guarantee you that it's big a news (and a big FUCK YOU to Rick Berman) that he's getting this treatment.
-
I mean, it's a TV show. The music in TV shows really isn't that varied.
-
His music was full of synth flutes and windchimes and crap. The more generic music in the later, better episodes of ST:TNG was more appropriate, and is more iconic.
-
right on the money. ST:TNG lost some great talent over the years that negatively impacted the music, visual effects and later cinematography. Ron Jones' ST:TNG music was fun, energetic and creative. After season four his absence was clearly heard for the worse. Compare his Best of Both Worlds soundtrack to Dennis McCarthy's ST:DS9 series opener Wolf 359 music. No comparison. Imagine if Jones would have been the composer instead? Not knocking McCarthy so much as I am Rick Berman. Still, after Jones was gone series Trek music became extremely constipated.
Glad to see his contribution is finally being acknowledged. Suck it, Berman. -
i liked the show but not nearly enough for something like this. now if they ever do this for X-Files, Buffy and/or Angel, Alias or Lost then i'd definately grab it. but i'm sure the trekkies who do get a hold will be quite pleased. its rare enough to get ONE full episode but 40?
-
Whew! I feared that he might have suffered a blown cocyx bone or something.

Now why couldn't they have done a set like this for Batman: TAS?
by nasty in the pasty
Only two CDs' worth of music was released, going on two YEARS ago, and not a peep of a "volume two" release since. :(
-
Hack.
-
I thought it was just creepy dead silence over those weird tan colored sets, seen through that shitty vhs picture quality, except for those little musical bits that play real for two seconds to signal it's about to cut to commercial. This show is just damn unsettling to watch for me for some reason.
-
So that's around 160 music cues called "Music for Stern Face Before Commercial."
-
Still holding out for that "Duck Tales" soundtrack CD.
-
Tan seats! Tan Uniforms. TAN CAPATAINS!!! WOOO!!
-
(and if I recall, it does not) this effort is AWESOME AND I'm buying it just to support the idea of something like this being DONE. This is GREAT!!
-
Of just the warp core noise. That low throbbing noise would be great for sleeping!
-
sorry.

The FSM monthly Star Trek set is a labor of love. Lukas Kendall has released some amazing scores recently, including Black Sunday and Star Trek III.
And for those who aren't aware, John Barry's score for The Deep was released by Intrada on Monday as a limited edition and they're apparently going fast. -
...next to those 'Teach Yourself Klingon' CDs you've never played.
-
I had the book. :(
-
Harry Palmerlime: So that's around 160 music cues called "Music for Stern Face Before Commercial." -
I laughed my ass off when I read that! -
Just ordered it.
-
...recorded using the best medium possible, then transfered onto audio cassette? Think about it...? ;)
-
... the opening theme music that Jerry Goldsmith composed for STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE as the theme and leitmotif for the TV show STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. Really good idea. Goldsmith was always very good for Star trek, a franchise that was very close to his heart. He had even been inicially chosen to compose for the TOS, but he had a busy schedule and couldn't accept the job, and his friend and collaborator Alexander Courage got the gig instead.
-
La La Land Records have (had?) a great two CD set of music from Batman TAS, and there is the soundtrack to Mask of the Phantasam, too. Both reside on my CD shelf and in my Zune. Recommended!
-
1. The reason Sulu is on the final disc is that disc holds the soundtracks for two computer games that Jones scored: Starfleet Academy and Starfleet Command.
2. Warners is evidently the one holding up a volume two of Batman The Animated Series music.
3. An X-Files four disc set is being worked on as we speak - all music from throughout the run of the show - current estimates place it's release at later this fall/early this winter. -
PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! Especially since I haven't won a single one of your damned contests and this is one I would very much like to win!
-
and maybe one disc of interesting variations. STTNG had some of the dreariest, lazy orchestrations, with repetitive themes and lacklustre pacing.
-
You will NEVER HAVE SEX!
-
Dun-dun-dun! DUN-DUN-DUN!
-
They don't need to remaster every single episode, maybe pick the best 20 or so, re-edit, re-grade, totally new CGI effects shots, new sound mix, the works. DO IT! DO IT NOW!!!
-
...I'm hungry.
-
they filmed it on video so they would hafta transfer it and digitize it and then remaster...if georgie boy cant afford it, these guys cant..
-
...quite possibly the last time this year. Next week is supposed to be nice and cool.
-
Not my usual Friday visit, they are going camping this weekend. Although I always want them to have fun, I wish I had the resources to take them places. They tell me it's ok and all, and I believe them, but they are still kids and I know they wish we could do more things as well.Ahhhhh I'll make it up to them someday...I hope.Anyways, gonna try to watch Dragonheart tonight.
-
watch out for Leeches in 3D!
-
It was just EDITED on video tape. Also the effects were rendered at 480i. Same with Voyager and DS9. I'm assuming the effects could be rendered at 1080p, but I don't know that for sure. They may have to be redone as they were in TOS, which would be fine with me.Apparently there was a test of 2 episodes recreated in this way to see how much it would cost, but I don't know what the verdict was.I am Quite sure Paramount will eventually do this for all 3 shows edited on tape, but it may be a couple of more years to get better penetration of Blu-ray in homes. They're not going to pass up that cash cow even if it costs them up front. It's not just about Blu-ray, they need them for rebroadcast in HD as well.
-
The animated series (essentially season 4 of TOS), followed by Enterprise. Again, I'm totally fine with this. Althoguh I like TNG, it just rings a little hollow to me compared to some of the other shows. and I really hate Wesley Crusher. I had pretty much given up on Voyager midway through season 2 though.
-
so what are you saying?enterprise is better than TNG?TNG ruled and if not for it, TREK wouldve died a sloggy death decades ago.
-
never got into it.
I watched a few episodes of DS:9; never got into it.
I watched some of ST: Voyager and liked it.
And I've heard online that Voyager was the weakest series. Go figure. -
APOCALYPSE NOW THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES See writeups at The Shelter.
-
Well, don't get me started on that one. It had some good episodes, but for me, overall, it was.....meh at best. I absolutely HATED Wesley Crusher, since when does Roddenberry need to pander to kids? If he absolutely had to do that, at least make it an APPEALING character. Wesley was not appealing in any way. Arrogant whiny little fuck. Sure he was smart, but so fucking what.Anyways, I gotta a bit off there. I feel that over the course of...what was it...7 seasons? They should have had many more top quality stories and for me they were just average at best, with the occasional stand out. Frakes is another one, he is a terrible actor. His character was also lame. Passed up promotion after promotion, holding out for the Enterprise. Lame. He ends the show 7 years later in the exact same place he started.I could go on and on, but I can't lol. Suffice to say, TNG in the end is just a big disappointment for me. Could have been great, but winds up being just ok.
-
Season 3 was--as I recall--the strongest.DS9 came out at a bad time for me.Voyager didn't do it for me.In fact, other than TOS, the only sci-fi/space-based type series that has really thrilled me has been BSG--hands down.
-
but he did direct one of the better ST movies. Even Asi couldn't argue with that.

Francis Ford Coppola's film "Apocalypse Now" was inspired by Heart of Darkness, a novel by Joseph Conrad about a European named Kurtz who penetrated to the farthest reaches of the Congo and established himself like a god. A boat sets out to find him, and on the journey the narrator gradually loses confidence in orderly civilization; he is oppressed by the great weight of the jungle all around him, a pitiless Darwinian testing ground in which each living thing tries every day not to be eaten.
What is found at the end of the journey is not Kurtz so much as what Kurtz found: that all of our days and ways are a fragile structure perched uneasily atop the hungry jaws of nature that will thoughtlessly devour us. A happy life is a daily reprieve from this knowledge.A week ago I was in Calcutta, where I saw mile upon square mile of squatter camps in which hundreds of thousands live generation after generation in leaky huts of plastic, cardboard and scrap metal, in poverty so absolute it is impossible to see any hope of escape. I do not mean to equate the misery of those hopeless people with a movie; that would be indecent. But I was deeply shaken by what I saw, and realized how precious and precarious is a happy life. And in such a mood I watched "Apocalypse Now" and came to the scene where Col. Kurtz (Marlon Brando) tells Capt. Willard (Martin Sheen) about "the horror."
Kurtz is a decorated hero, one of the best soldiers in the Army, who has created a jungle sanctuary upriver inside enemy territory, and rules Montagnard tribesmen as his private army. He tells Willard about a day when his Special Forces men inoculated the children of a village against polio: "This old man came running after us and he was crying, he couldn't see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile, a pile of little arms. . . ."What Kurtz learned is that the Viet Cong were willing to go to greater lengths to win: "Then I realized they were stronger than we. They have the strength, the strength to do that. If I had 10 divisions of those men, then our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling, without passion, without judgment." This is the "horror" that Kurtz has found, and it threatens to envelop Willard, too.
The whole movie is a journey toward Willard's understanding of how Kurtz, one of the Army's best soldiers, penetrated the reality of war to such a depth that he could not look any longer without madness and despair.
The film has one of the most haunting endings in cinema, a poetic evocation of what Kurtz has discovered, and what we hope not to discover for ourselves. The river journey creates enormous anticipation about Kurtz, and Brando fulfills it. When the film was released in 1979, his casting was criticized and his enormous paycheck of $1 million was much discussed, but it's clear he was the correct choice, not only because of his stature as an icon, but because of his voice, which enters the film from darkness or half-light, repeating the words of T.S. Eliot's despairing "The Hollow Men." That voice sets the final tone of the film.
Another crucial element in the ending is the photojournalist (Dennis Hopper) who has somehow found Kurtz's camp and stayed there, stoned, as a witness. He blathers to Willard that Kurtz is "a poet-warrior in the classic sense" and "we're all his children." In the photographer's spaced-out ravings we hear disconnected snatches of the poetry he must have heard Kurtz reciting: If you can keep your head when all about you . . . I should have been a pair of ragged claws, scuttling across the floor of a silent sea. . . ." The photographer is the guide, the clown, the fool, providing the balance between Willard and Kurtz.
Why has "Apocalypse Now" been so long bedeviled by rumors that Coppola was not happy with this ending? At the film's premiere at Cannes, I saw the confusion begin. Coppola originally intended to show the movie as a 70mm roadshow with no credits (they would be printed in a booklet). But the 35mm release would need end titles. After he was finished filming on the huge set of the Kurtz compound, Coppola was required by the Philippine government to destroy it, and he photographed it being blown up. He decided to use this footage over his closing 35mm credits, even though (this is crucial) he did not intend the destruction of the compound as an alternative "ending" to the film. Alas, confusion about the endings spread from Cannes into movie folklore, and most people thought that by "ending" he meant all of the material involving Kurtz. In the 20th anniversary DVD release, Coppola patiently explains all of this once again.
In any event, seen again now at a distance of 20 years, "Apocalypse Now" is more clearly than ever one of the key films of the century. Most films are lucky to contain a single great sequence. "Apocalypse Now" strings together one after another, with the river journey as the connecting link. The best is the helicopter attack on a Vietnam village, led by Col. Kilgore (Robert Duvall), whose choppers use loudspeakers at top volume to play Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" as they swoop down on a yard full of schoolchildren. Duvall won an Oscar nomination for his performance and its unforgettable line, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." His emptiness is frightening: A surfing fanatic, he agrees to the attack only to liberate a beach said to offer great waves ("Charlie don't surf").
There is also the sequence where the patrol boat stops a small fishing boat with a family on board. A little girl makes a sudden dash, and the jumpy machine-gunner (a young Laurence Fishburne) opens fire, wiping out the entire family. It turns out the girl was running for her puppy. The mother is not quite dead. The boat chief (Albert Hall) wants to take her for medical treatment. Willard puts a bullet into her; nothing can delay his mission. He and "Chief" are the only two seasoned military men on the boat, trying to do things by the book; later, in a scene with peculiar power, the chief is astonished to be killed by a spear.
For me the most remarkable visuals in the film occur when Chef (Fredric Forrest), one of Willard's crew members, insists on venturing into the forest in search of mangos. Willard can't stop him, so he joins him. The great cinematographer Vittorio Storaro shows them as little human specks at the foot of towering trees, and this is a Joseph Conrad moment, showing how nature dwarfs us.
The rock 'n' roll soundtrack opens and closes with "The End" by the Doors, and includes disc jockeys on transistor radios ("Good morning, Vietnam!"). The music underlines surrealistic moments, as when Lance (Sam Bottoms), one of Willard's crew, water-skis behind the boat. It also shows how the soldiers try to use the music of home, and booze and drugs, to ease their loneliness and apprehension.
Other important films such as "Platoon," "The Deer Hunter," "Full Metal Jacket" and "Casualties of War" take their own approaches to Vietnam. Once at the Hawaii Film Festival I saw five North Vietnamese films about the war. (They never mentioned "America," only "the enemy," and one director told me, "It is all the same--we have been invaded by China, France, the U.S. . . .") But "Apocalypse Now" is the best Vietnam film, one of the greatest of all films, because it pushes beyond the others, into the dark places of the soul. It is not about war so much as about how war reveals truths we would be happy never to discover.
In a way I cannot quite explain, my thoughts since Calcutta prepared me to understand the horror that Kurtz found. If we are lucky, we spend our lives in a fool's paradise, never knowing how close we skirt the abyss. What drives Kurtz mad is his discovery of this.
Note: In my original review of "Apocalypse Now" I quoted the French director Francois Truffaut: "I demand that a film express either the joy of making cinema or the agony of making cinema. I am not at all interested in anything in between." Coppola's joy and agony are revealed in "Hearts of Darkness," a 1991 documentary by Fax Bahr and George Hickenlooper about the making of "Apocalypse Now," with personal footage and journal entries by Coppola's wife, Eleanor, who made secret recordings of Coppola expressing his doubts and discouragement as the project threatened to swamp him. http://tinyurl.com/33vyt5e -

Desson Howe's review of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
by colonelfatheart
If Christmas is in jeopardy, if Santa Claus is being forcibly prevented from his annual duties, you can be sure the kids will pay attention. And since Tim Burton's animated fantasy, "The Nightmare Before Christmas," is such a state-of-the-art wonder show, you can be sure the adults will be engaged too.
This brilliant combination of stop-motion animation, three-dimensional sets and superbly imaginative graphics, brings animation to new peaks. Burton, whose inventive, delightfully haunted mind put so much zest into "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," "Beetlejuice," "Batman" and "Edward Scissorhands," has done it again.
Here's the story: Jack Skellington, Halloweentown's Pumpkin King, is bored with his annual duties -- arranging the usual scares and surprises for Halloween. When he chances upon Christmastown, a far cry from his own world, Jack decides he can run this tinselly convention himself. After boning up on things Christmas (he even tries to study the holiday in algebraic terms), Jack dons a white beard and red coat, harnesses a team of ghostly reindeer and heads for the rooftops of the world. While Jack does the yuletide rounds, his pumpkin townsfolk hold the real (and thoroughly disconsolate) Santa prisoner.
Concerned parents can be assured that, ultimately, things will be put right. Jack will realize who really ought to be stuffing himself down these chimneys, and that you're supposed to give presents that charm -- not petrify -- the children.
Speaking of scaring kids, it's hard to assess how the very young will receive this. To this grown-up reviewer, Jack and his Halloweentown collection of strange friends are oddly charming, from the (literally) two-faced mayor to the trick or treat trio called Lock, Shock and Barrel. And when he delivers icky presents to children (such as a severed head, or a striped snake that swallows Christmas trees), Jack (with whom the viewer identifies) is genuinely unaware of his transgressions. If Jack's a bad skeleton, he's an innocently bad skeleton.
The best thing about "Nightmare," obviously, is its visual world and -- behind that -- 10 great songs composed by Danny Elfman (who collaborated with Burton for "Batman" and also wrote the theme tune for "The Simpsons"). Burton, a graduate of the Disney factory (he worked on "The Black Cauldron," among many films, and made a memorable short called "Frankenweenie"), fills the movie with unforgettable compositions: Jack's poetic posings against the moon, for one thing, are aesthetically stunning.
Burton also creates Grimmly personable characters. Jack is a mischievous, skeletal Beau Brummell in his pin-striped, spider-webbed suit. His faithful dog Zero is actually the ghost of a dog with a glowing, jack-o'-lantern nose. Jack's love interest, Sally, is a rag doll who can disengage her body parts at will by picking the thread that holds her together.
With Burton, there's a sense of a bad-boy genius at work, as if Oscar Wilde had been raised on E.T.A Hoffmann, the Brothers Grimm and the expressionistic German films of the prewar period such as "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari." He never raises his work above the heads of children -- which is true of all his work. He pulls adult minds down to the surreal darkness of childish imagination -- where the real nightmares are. But through Burton's eyes, these dark dreamscapes aren't bad places at all. In fact, they're quite wonderful. http://tinyurl.com/2agw2ss -
other than the first two seasons where they thrust him in the spotlight..he was really part of the ensemble..and he was gone by the fourth season..and was part of one of the best shows..THE FIRST DUTY.

Escape from the Planet of the Apes is an excellent film, almost as good as the original Planet of the Apes. Arthur Jacobs' production is marked by an outstanding script, using some of the original Pierre Boulle novel characters; excellent direction by Don Taylor; and superior performances from a cast headed by encoring Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter.
In the previous film one will recall that the world seemed to be ending in nuclear holocaust. Something that trivial never stopped a good writer, so this film opens with Hunter, McDowall and Sal Mineo arriving on earth in a space vehicle.
After about half of the film's literate, suspenseful, delightful and thought-provoking 97 minutes, the story emphasis segues from broad comedic antics to a rather horrifying dilemma. Eric Braeden, scientific advisor to US President William Windom, suggests that, if indeed in our future apes would subdue humans, why not remove that distant threat by aborting the life of the child of McDowall and Hunter?http://tinyurl.com/2dxesgd -

Even after Wesley had left, the show just never did it for me. The writing, IMO was just too inconsistent and so many times it felt like 50 minutes of buildup to a quick resolution. I hated that.To each his own, if you liked it Sixies, that's cool, I know many people enjoyed the series. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way saying the show was 7 seasons of lame, not at all. Every season had some good episodes, but for me, the good ones were outweighed by the bad ones. Overall TNG was a mediocre, sometimes wonderful but mostly disappointing sci-fi show.

DRAGONHEART? You should show your kids DRAGONSLAYER. Now that's a proper Dragon movie, not that fucking travestry that is that Rob Cohen fucking movie. Show your kids what a really dragon movie looks like and tell them that once Disney actually bothered to make a good movie for kinds whioch didn't infantalized and treated them like morons, instead of selling sugarcoated watered down crap they do now.
-
Dragonslayer will be gotten to at some point. Sorry to disappoint you my friend, but I liked Dragonheart quite a bit. I seriously don't want to get into a debate about it, I just enjoyed it. I respect your opinion, and trust me when I tell you the Dragonslayer is on the list, I just happen to have D-Heart available at home and my daughter told me she wants to see it.
-
Man, I love APOCALYPSE NOW. Damn good article. I'm especially glad that Ebert brought up one of my favorite scenes --specifically, when Clean takes out the villagers on the sampan as a panicking woman makes a quick dash towards a suspicious barrel followed by the heart-rending moment when Chef discovers to his horror that the basket contained only a puppy. After Willard shoots the injured woman, in one of the most memorable freakouts of many freakouts, Chef sobs, "Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck them!" I recall being astonished at Sheen's superb performance the first time I saw the film only to be utterly BLOWN AWAY by Brando's incomparable performance--which made Sheen's look run of the mill in comparison.This is quite simply one of the best movies ever made. However, APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX was--imo--a terrible mistake. Like the Director's Cut of AMADEUS, the longer version actually manages to ruin a classic film with bloated, clumsily paced scenes best left on the cutting room floor.
-
Having been a D & D player for a long time, it portrayed Dragons as I knew them from the game....as intelligent creatures, capable of more than just mindless destruction, who could communicate with man and sometimes work side by side with him. Say what you want about the film, but it gave me something I wanted but had never seen in a Dragon movie before, for that, I can be forgiving of its shortcomings.
-
I loves me some DRAGONSLAYER. Gritty, bloody, bleak. Vermithrax = Best fucking film dragon to date. What a monster.
-
It's evidence of how the journey is warping them all. Frederick Forrest is just killer in that scene.
-
Won't hear any arguments from me regarding that movie.Now that it's being talked about, I'm gonna have to get my hands on a copy. Actually have not seen it in quite some time.
-
"Vermithrax = Best fucking film dragon to date. What a monster."Too true. And it's Vermithrax Pejorative, mister. Coolest monster name ever. I rewatched the movie recently, and my love and awe for it increased... and it was pretty high already.
-
So grungy! You could almost smell the dirt and shit!And... best priest death ever via a young Emperor Palpatine:"Unclean beast! Get thee down! Be thou consumed by the fires that made thee!"Fuck. Yes.
-
That the gritty, close up effects of Vermithrax P. could be improved via CGI. Ugh. So VISCERAL.
-
It's still the most watchable Trek series after the original.
-
I've never seen DRAGONSLAYER.
-
"Liked" and "Rob Cohen" are not words you see mutually associated in any phrase i might write, unless there's a "Not" in it somewhere. I really detest that miserable hack! Fucker never made a good movie, never! And really, if i had been a D&D fan, i would hate DRAGONHEART even more.As for TNG, i think you are too harsh on it. While i'm not exactly a fan of the show, and i really know little of it other then what i saw from scatered episodes form different seasons, the thing is, the show was anchored in one of the best fictional creations in american TV history: Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Any actor inthat role would had looked good, but then they had the masterstroke to hire Patrick Stewart to the role, which in hindsight must have been one of the most genious decision in american filmed entertaiment. Picard and Steward are the core and heart of the show, and no show can be bad with such a thing form which everything revolves around. And from what i understand, the show does have some really outstanding episodes which can match in quality some of the best stuff from the original show. I don't find it hard to believe.
-
In that case, my son, your penitence is to watch it as soon as possible, under the danger of comiting extreme mortal film sin and the lost of your movie geek soul.
-
but have it be a buddy movie with a cgi Dragon who is actually a good guy and he should be voiced by Sean Connery.
-
Anyone ever seen I CLAUDIUS with Derek Jacobi, P Stewart, John Hurt, et al.? Best BBC adaptation ever and a star turn by several cast members, including a delightfully horrid and brilliant Caligula via the inestimable John Hurt.Caligula: [after committing an especially gruesome murder] Aren't people awful?
-
... thanks a lot for your post quoting that Roger Ebert article about APOCALYPSE NOW. The man put into words some of my own thoughs about the movie, and he partially describes why i love so much that movie and why it's one of my top 3 favorite movie of all time. And what Ebert said about his quote from Francois Truffaut comenting of what he wanted from a film should ring true and to the core of the soul of any real true movie geek. Definatly, any and all movies i love they do present in them both the passion/love and/or the agony of filmmaking. Truffaut said it as it is. I call that a movie having a soul. It makes all the difference. It's what seperates true film quality from false acessements of "good" from lazy self-indulgent movie geeks with little to no standards.
-
Wow, not a Cohen fan I see. So you didn't even think that Dragon The Bruce Lee Story was good? Anyways, regarding TNG...I do not deny that Stewart was awesome as Picard, nor have I ever said the show was a giant fail. They had some very good episodes that do match the quality of TOS.....SOME..(The Inner Light may be one of the best written and well done episodes in ST history). It's just that for me, it was not enough. Like I already have said, the show overall was ok, not terrible, but far from what I would call 7 seasons of quality entertainment.
-
I CLAUDIUS is halloweed. People should stand up whenever the name of that show is mentioned. The cast in that show is simply unbelievable. And until ROME came up, there was no rival until then in the depcition of ancient Rome on TV... or movie, for that matter.

Sent a message to STLost a while back and eagerly awaiting reply.

Are yopu kidding me? I fucking despise that piece of bullshit "Dragon The Bruce Lee Story". As a biopic, all it needed was fucking green martians fighting Bruce Lee in the surface of the fucking moon. That fucking movie is an abortion! The only good thing i can say about it is that despiste the constant saboutages from the fucking director and the retards who wrote that piece of shit, Jason Scott Lee did a one hell of a performance as Bruce Lee, it was uncanny. The actor deserved to had been big, to had break through, to be a star. And of he's good in that fucking movie, he was brillant and magnificent in another, properly very good movie dircted by Vicent Ward called MAP OF THE HUMAN HEART. Now that's a really good movie.
-
Ah, yes. Peter MacNicol. Memorably played Stingo in SOPHIE'S CHOICE. And also had an(unfortunately) memorable performance as Dr. Janosz Poha in GHOSTBUSTERS II.He played a fine Galen in DRAGONSLAYER I thought...
-
If you were a girl, i'd marry you. Love for TIME BANDITS? Awesome!
-
You, of all people, shouldn't tell someone that they're being too harsh on ANYthing. Just look at your last post, pally.
-
... make me wonder why people would even bother with CGI for presenting creatures on film. Vermithrax in the movie just feels so... well, real.

And what about when i talk about good movies i like? Who I am then?
-
Just kidding, champ. You are, of course, welcome to make any remarks that you like. But when you call someone on being harsh, it makes you look like a hypocrite. Just thought you should know.
-
You have never, not once stated the TRUTH on this website, as far as I know. You have stated your opinions, which are not truth of any kind, except the truth of your tastes, which are yours alone. You really need to assimilate this info.
-
And you may not be willing to join me here.I love TIDELAND. LOVE it. Feel like it was unjustly misunderstood and maligned. Brilliant, moving, personal and painful film. Still want to marry me?

"I have never been so terrorized while watching a movie. The tension in this film is so greatly created but it makes you want to leap out of your seat, dash down the aisle, and never think about kissing again. I felt the need to take a long, hot shower after this film, as it left almost a pile of dirt on each my shoulders."
-
Which was THE film--aside from the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE--that truly *terrorized* and traumatized me and left me wanting/needing a long, cleansing shower.
-
**Spoiler time Colonel** Really, I mean it. Spoiler They build up this wonderful, awesome spear that can cut an anvil in half, and will surely be the dragon's bane....and then...and then....OH FUCK! I broke it! My first friggin' time out with it!
-
Just fascinated and intrigued the hell out of me, but this someone was female (a random reviewer on IMDB), and I'd guess that TIDELAND could hit some special chords in a woman that it wouldn't hit with most men.Between TIDELAND and TIME BANDITS and TAoBM, it's clear Gilliam is stupendous at directing children (especially--imo--girls).
-
It just makes you feel all icky, especially the party scene when his girl is all grinding with the devil and stuff. That spiked phallus stuff....*icky-poo*
-
Yep. DRAGONSLAYER works against convention and was incredibly unpredictable to me. *SPOILER WARNING* Galen makes for a tremendously physically weak hero, although he turns out to be a motherfucking brave one (and--of course--doesn't directly save the day at all).Don't know if anyone here reads comics, but I find that the storyline of the superb EX MACHINA is completely unpredictable as well. Nice to be surprised sometimes!
-
Can't wait!
-
I guess I poked Asi in his weak spot or something.
-
EX MACHINA is superb. My roomie's got every issue, and now that it's done I'm going to go back and re-read the entire series, and THEN read the last issue. It's gonna be quite a ride, I think.
-
though EX MACHINA is one that I have not yet had the pleasure of getting into. Honestly, I've pretty much been out of the game for the last year or so. Some of my fovorites (that I WILL catch up on at some point) are FABLES (and any associated series/miniseries), THE WALKING DEAD, INVINCIBLE, HELLBOY (again, any associated books), THE BOYS. Also BIG fan of PREACHER, SANDMAN, HITMAN, Alan Moore's run on SWAMP THING, PLANETARY, early AUTHORITY, ULTIMATE SPIDEY. Been a comic nerd since I could just look at the pictures.
-
Great. That's all that needs to be said. Y THE LAST MAN is gut too.
-
the aicn one or the gmail one?
-
Is there some overarching story to it, or is it just a series of interlocking revenge stories? I've only read the first storyarc, so I'd like to know that it's going somewhere before I fully commit.
-
this series is totally awesome so far.
-
they parcel out little bits and build a nice big storyline. It's really cool how it all connects. Not everyone is exactly what they appear to be. There's a reason Graves chooses the people he chooses.
-
you are dead inside. That's all I'm gonna say.
-
Talk about shades of gray... There are many alternate reality fictional tales, but I'm only familiar with ones that step backwards quite a way. EX MACHINA is notable in that the BIG DIFFERENCE between our world and that fictional world is *SPOILER* THE GREAT MACHINE, who(partially) prevents a comparatively very recent catastrophe. Great series (and I'm only on issue 16 or so)!
-
I guess the gmail one. I use it way more than the old aintitcool account.
-
then disregard the invite for the AICN one
-
Thanks for the heads up, Jefe. I might just start ordering the trades, since I scarfed down SCALPED so fast. If noir is your thing, by the way, SCALPED is excellent.
-
it's at the B'ham liberry. I'm pretty sure they have a few EX MACHINAs as well. Hooray! I love new stuff. And seriously, if no one has, Moore's SWAMP THING run is the ONLY time a damn comic book has EVER creeped me out. There is some messed up, creepy stuff in there. Plus, the introduction of John Constantine, and the total (and totally awesome) reinvention of who/what Swampy actually is.
-
The Earth is a spheric object and revolves around the sun, which is a star in the milky way galaxy. I dare you say that i didn't said the truth. I dare you.
-
Is supposed to be up there in my last post somewhere. Got sidetracked thinking about all the awesome he packed in his run. Including one of the best batman stories not in his own book.
-
Moore's SWAMP THING was a thing of beauty (HAW HAW). Seriously, though. Who can forget Swampy's final confrontation with a much changed Matt Cable and his valiant descent into the badlands and--ultimately--hell? This was real, graphic horror of a kind rarely seen (and, never, I think seen so magnificently pulled off in a comic format up to that point). And the "American Gothic" storyline. Brrr. So friggin' great...
-
Dude, i love TIDELAND too. If you are trying to push me off, you are not trying hard enough. You can't push me away by liking and praising quality movies, man.
-
Asi and ST had a simupost at 3:05:05. Ding!
-
I LOVED the callback to the vampire town that swampy had run into waaaay back in like issue #3. And Nukeface? Bleeergh! But the hell stuff was just beautiful in its awfulness. And the little dude the Bruja used, with his head twisted around, and one arm sewn to his back...creeeeeeepy.
-
ding!
-
Gilliam is not just good at directing girl children. The kid in TIME BANDITS is great. Gilliam is simply very good at directing children as well as adults. And if you read the coments made by actors, all of them are in awe of gilliam. With one single exception: Lena Headey. but then again, she doesn't seem to be a praticullary smart woman, since he claimed that Zack Snyder is a better director then Gilliam after her work in 300. That woman has some serious mental problems. Yeah, too bad that she wasn't the first choice for her role in THE BROTHERS GRIMM and Gilliam acepted reluctantly because his first choice was Samantha Morton. Guess what, Morton is by far a much, much better actor then Headey. Deal with it, shallow empty headed girl! God, what an ass Lena Headey must be, and i'm not comenting on her shapely ass, but she as a person. Hardly a brainiac, that's for sure.

I was outbid last weekend on eBay for the complete run of Fables issues 1-54. I remember when it first came out I checked out an online preview and I had a feeling it was going to be big. But, alas I never picked it up.
-
You know, I was going to put a disclaimer on that statement, because I have occaisionally observed you talking about your homeland, or beer or whatnot, but I didn't really think you'd go that far. But you did, bravo, you completely refuted my statement. Oh, wait, no you didn't. You still confuse your opinion with the truth. But don't me hold you back, chief. You keep doing your thing, and I'll do mine.
-
Fables is just one of those series that pretty much CAN and DOES go all over the place. Different types of stories, a HUGE cast of characters that are ALL interesting....just a GREAT book. One of my all-time favorites. And nothing is ever just wrapped up all 'neat and tidy'. There are repercussions to everything. Can't recommend it enough.
-
It's true, right down to the second. Has such a thing happened before?
-
I've had a couple myownself in the last month. It prolly happens a lot more than you realize, if you don't look for it.

Man, what else can i say to soembody who has this strange udnerstanding of subjectivity and treats it as if it's this dogma thing? So, what, you sleep better at night if there is no truth, only individual opinions that people hacve and which there cannot be any rational accord and understanding? You must think we live in a universe of chaos, do you? We don't. Really, whatever, whatever make you sleep better at night.

I hadn't realised this phenonemum before, until you pointed it out. I always assumed it could not happen, that the postings here would follow an order of precedence or something like that. But then again, this is AICN, anything can happen. People have praised here shitty movies to kingdom come, such a smaller weirdity should not be a big deal.

"Dude, you shouldn't be so harsh on that new Star Trek movie. Sure, it was fairly dumb, but it was still entertaining nonetheless."I find no entertaiment in such a high level of dumbness. Only insult and injury. And not just fairly, but lots. Worst then CLASH OF THE TITANS, which is saying something. At least in CLASH, bad that is it, there's moments where nothing is happening. In the other movie, there is not a single minute where a very dumb stupid shit is happening. Asking me to have fun with such stuff is just asking too much from me. I don't need that dumb shit to get my entertaiment, there's plenty of proper good movies around for that, thank you very much.

A big fan of 'The Hammer', I am. But not a fan of the Banhammer, which is why I couldn't tell you the name outright. I found a $1 DVD of a movie he directed called ADIOS AMIGO, starring Fred and a young Richard Pryor. Pretty terrible by all accounts, but worth hanging onto for the theme song, which plays, I shit you not, at the end of every scene.

You know, as long as Scary uses her strap-on, that is.

I just read Capone's review of THE AMERICAN, and now my interest is piqued. Doesn't sound anything like I expected. Sounds more like Clooney's CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND than anything else, and I loved that film.
-
Keep Choppin' those chickens, Choppah. And Pebrews: don't cluck around!

You know, whenever I think of that line, I don't actually think of it in situ/in the film, but the sample - And WHERE-And WHERE, is the Batman? - as in the Prince Batdance song. What can I say, I'm an old (in both senses) Prince acolyte...
-
Wotcha up to at the moment?
-
What's happening, chaps!
D., Moron is right! I really can't believe someone would defend such a thoroughly bland movie with such vigor. It boggles my mind. Whitey, I hate to say it, but my enjoyment of Prince begins and ends with the Batdance. Tho I did dance with an incredibly hot p.o.a. to 1999 at my prom, which was also enjoyable. -
I understand. The sight of his hairy little body squirming around in When Doves Cry could put ANYbody off!
Who's gonna stop 200 balloons? Nobody! -
...I know that I did see PURPLE RAIN at the drive-in when it came out. Maybe that left a subconcious dislike of Prince in my childish mind for some reason.
-
Friday evening. With da former Mrs. Fuzzy. I've read a few positive reviews from those I trust: Ebert, Capone, Drewiarty. I like Clooney as much as a straight man can, and the movie sounds intensely subdued, if that makes any sense.
-
You read Capone's review? He really liked it. I'm starting to come around to it, but I'm still way more excited about MACHETE.
-
And I wanna see Machete too. But there's now way the lady is gonna want to see that instead. No. Way. But you can bet your bottom dollar that the first movie with DANNY MOTHERFUCKIN' TREJO headlining will get my money. Oh yes.
-
I'll take that to the bank, then. Ok, pally, I'm off to catch the $1 midnight movie at the Alamo. Have a good 'un.

Sorry, was refuting Fett point by point in the Clash talkback. I think I'm making very thoughtful, valid points; he's making childish assumptions and comebacks. Whatever. I'm wasting time on him.

-
The original girl, who at first backed out, was able to do it in the end. Unfortunately, her backing out caused me to not invite another girl, the Laurel to her Hardy so to speak, to drive the 2 hrs into town for the other role. So I had to work fast and use a girl who works at the location I was using (she was once a tv news reporter) as the other actress. Unfortunately, she was only available for 15 minutes. But she was a pro who learned her lines fast and acted them well, so I was able to pull off the initial, important scene I needed to setup the rest of the short. I got lucky, what can I say =).

So, in the never ending story of my work life...
by cheeses_of_nazareth
I haven't had a day off since LAST Monday...tomorrow is supposed to be my day off...As fate has it, the corporate auditor landed in town this week and hit the closest store to mine today. They failed the audit miserably...All district level management is in panic mode, got 7 calls from different execs tonight , "check this and make sure that..."I may have to work tomorrow if the auditor shows up...Still, I am going to drink excessively (even for me) and trust the odds...since the Auditor began the year auditing the stores with the worst annual inventories in the previous year, and he has worked backwards from that in each market...My store has had the best inventory in the district 2 years running...There are three other districts in my market and each have 4 to 6 stores that have yet to be audited...So, I have what, a one in 20 chance he'll show up tomorrow and ruin my day off...?

boy that takes me back to the days as a kid you'd watch anything just because it was on in the afternoon and there were no cartoons on any channel. Never really Liked Borgnine but Silvers was/is awesome.
Although Borg-of-Nine's awesomosity went way up for me when I saw him on that today show saying that the secret to him looking so much younger than 93 (he whispered in the host's ear knowing the mike would still pick it up) is that he masturbates every day. I think they cut to a break after that. Respect, respect. -

from one talkback into another, particul;arly when you are getting your asshole fucking OWNED!D.Vader CONSTANTLY referrences things that DON'T HAPPEN IN THE FUCKING MOVIE, then bitches about it. I've got the movie file right here and I'm like "What the fuck? That doesn't happen!". Apparently his asshole is so ruptured from this discussion that he's limping over to you guys for some solace. Pretty laughable and sad really. A word of advice Vader, deal or fucking leave. If you spread bullshit, I'm'a gonna call you on it. I suggest you shut the fuck up about it now and move along to your next embarrassing moment.
-
What's truly sad Fett is that you followed me here to a talkback you never visit. What's even sadder is that you think I was "owned". Pretty pathetic.

I know it's a satire, the actors and editing are all too professional, but it still gives me the creeps!

Vades, skimmed over your argument in the Titans back. You make some good points, although I did not see the film, but as stated before, based on all I have heard from you and others, It isn't worth my time. Besides Bland Worthington sounds like he gave the same perfromance he gave in T:S and Avatar, so If I wanna see that, I'll watch Avatar again.Caught up a little on last nights events.Ted...i was also a hard core D & D player for many years, also did the spy thing, wester, and sci-fi RP games. ALl fun, but D & D is still tops.Wow, Purple Rain, I saw that like 5 times in the theater. I really liked that movie, and the music was Prince at the top of his game. The stuff he did after that was kinda....bad, but PR was a damn good film IMO.

i had problems with him before..hes claimed time and again that if you dont like the BALE version of batman, you dont like the character of batman..we all know here that adam west and batman:TAS is the true dark knight.and then he started claiming that JAWS shuld be remade and all that "talky" and "family" shit should be jettisoned and it should be just two hours of chasing a shark..**sixies pissing on FETTS ashes**

Read Nick Fury:Secret Warriors #19, last ride of the howling commando's last night.
That issue had so much better dialogue, fully developed characters, action than Stallones attempt at recapturing the glory of 80s action flicks.
This issue also showed the brutality of combat, personal sacrifice and what a true band of brothers are. Not the fratboy buddys image Stallone went with. Along with the crappy dialogue.
If you miss the Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster, Steve McQueen movies of old, pick up Secret Warriors #19.
-
fuck no i wouldnt take the job and fuck yes, you did say you whole heartedly supported a remake of JAWS and then went on to say you'd excise the "family" and "talky" parts--i.e. the fucking script!note: those talky parts that might seem slow to your ADD-rattled pea sized brain is what makes the film work. less shark=good. had it been a straight up monster film like you so wanted, we wouldnt be talking about it 35 years after the fact.
-
He read an article about how Clash was changed in editing and with reshoots, so now he thinks he's this wise fucking sage regarding how the film SHOULD have gone. he thinks that instead of being an action/adventure film, it shoyuld have been more like What Dreams May Come.

Ok, here is a little lesson for those of you who may have missed
by rogueleader66
Jaws....may appear to be about hunting a killer shark, but guess what? It is a totally character driven film. The "talking" and "family stuff" is there for a specific reason. The movie is driven by the three main characters and how they deal with the situation they are in, each in a different way. They all have different motivations for hunting this shark, thus making them all the more interesting. We care about these guys. Take away the "talking" and "family" stuff and just have three guys hunting a shark? Lame to the highest degree.Ever see Deep Blue Sea? Yea well guess what, that's what happens when you don't have character development. Did anyone give a shit what happened to ANYONE in that movie? Nope, because you did not give a damn about any of them. Some movies may not need you to care about the characters, but Jaws does, because that is what the movie is about, those three guys, not the shark.Class dismissed.
-
Titans was what happens after my dog eats tinnsel during the holidays. The result is glittery shit. The original is loved for it's flaws but the new one was ruined. The whole conception of the quest is tucked. Why change what worked, and what was essentially irrelevant. The plot is merely a device to deliver the action. Guy wants girl and sets off to win her favor. Done. Moving on. THE NEW ONE FUCKS THIS UP, thus creating an inforgivable shit pile no amount of fx could justify. Discussion over.

Bag, his probalems don't have as much to do with character motiv
by return_of_fett
As they do with things that don't happen in the film. I don't mean character moments that have been hacked out, I mean things like "Perseus never even uses the scorpion sheild. He uses some other sheild to see Medusa's reflection".See, now that's just plain WRONG. He DOES use the scorpion sheild and in fact it IS the sheild he uses to see Medusa's reflection.MY problem with that scene is "How the fuck does a scorpion hide sheild have a reflective interior?". That would seem like a valid complaint. MY complaint happens in the film, his doesn't.That would be like me saying "I don't understand why a purple dragon swoops down out of the sky and kills the Kraken. That's just lazy writing." See what I mean? Attack the film for what it actually DID, not for what you mistakenly remember it doing.
-
14 discs of TNG music? It's not like Eric Wolfgang Korngold scored the damn thing!
-
Why make it revenge motivated? Why turn Perseus into an asshole? Why change so much just to be "ccol". And I swear fucking Worthington, can that guy do anything other than the brooding, mumbling hero? Why is this guy getting so much high profile work?Oh and good mornin Mac
-
is when Brody is on the phone early in the movie and his wife and kid are talking in the background. It is such a real moment. They don't fade the secondary conversation away to focus on the "important call". It creates a REAL world feeling in the movie. The wife and kid don't just go away. They are still there, still important. THAT is why the movie is so good. It seems small but it is one of the most significant scenes in the film for me.
-
I'm pretty sure Chop's out of his/her mind, but I also think that s/he's (to quote Nietzsche) beyond good and evil. But--basically--s/he remains a mystery to us all. And, fuck, has Chop ever been busy lately!As for TITANS--never was a big fan of the original, so never really interested in the remake. The storyline was always pretty shitty imo, which is just astounding given the literary richness of Greek mythology. Start TITANS all the fuck over, I says, and let Neil Gaiman write the fucker with a completely different plot.
-
Those things happen in the movie and I agree with you that they are problems.
-
...was it you reading AMERICAN GODS right now?
-
Also happens a bit later in the film, when Brody and Hooper are on the phone and you can barely make out either one of their conversations. All I remember is "why do i need to go to brisbane when I have a great white here"There are so many little details about the movie that just make it so great.Oh I know it was the 70's but OMG the Mayor's wardrobe, it was god awful, even for back then. That suit with all the little anchors all over it, awful.
-
They should have just improved the cool in titans. They made Kalibas less relevant AND most importantly took away the pitchfork hand and whip. Unforgivable. Kalibas WAS this movie for me growing up. He was cool here but i was disappointed.
-
It was a BAD decision to remove him from the composing task. On the other hand... imagine HOW many disks they would have thron out by now, if he'd stayed within the STAR TREK franchise... not that I would have NOT bought that incredibly BIG BOX! He should have also scored the movies! What he had done with the series felt like movie scores! Hell, yeah!
-
I got no beef with you dude, but seriously, why drag this out? The bottom line is you guys have different views on Titans, just leave it at that. There really is no point in this, but do what you feel you must.
-
I the graffiti on the billboard there too. Big film in my home growing up. My family dogs name was Brody.
-
The bad shit was so prevalent that if Vades wants to make up more shit to bitch about...it will fit right in with the rest of the nonsense. Why fight over a fat ugly girl with no personality. That's what's happening here.

I'm totally down with that.

-
Lived in Martha's Vineyard at the time they were shooting Jaws and was a few people short of being on the one beach scene where they all run out of the water. He did get to see a lot of the shooting of the film though. Pretty cool.
-
Classic family moment in Jaws.
Although I think uncle Bill used it on Sissy at least once in "Family Affair" -
Easily Gaiman's best fiction since SANDMAN.It concerns a convict named Shadow who becomes immersed in a conflict between older, mythological gods/beings and newer, technologically based gods/beings. That's all you need to know (anything else would potentially ruin it for you, Mac).NO ONE since Milton has fictionally synthesized and breathed life into so many mythological beings from so many cultures as Gaiman has between AMERICAN GODS and his SANDMAN books. Such great dialogue; such great characters; such a fucking terrific story.READ it!
-
The chicks that like it will be the ones you KNOW are full of shit HAHAHAHAHA.
-
Josh Holloway, as Shadow, if an AMERICAN GODS movie were made.
-
I also thought a reflective scorpion shield was absurd. Also understand that we have a little club thing here and everything from what i just ate to the consistency with which it just left my ass gets shared here so for Vades to tell us of your spat wasn't so much a gossipy bitch move as it was a living diary.
-
we could sit here all day and talk bout them.
-
for epicness, on a personal scale.
-
...of a way to pitch AMERICAN GODS without giving too much away.
Mac, if you're like me, the fact that the protagonist is named Shadow will bother you for about 20 pages or so...but it'll pass.
I couldn't get into SANDMAN, but I loved GODS. -
...contemporary America feel like a mythologically interesting place...no easy task.
-
You may consider giving SANDMAN another chance. The first 7 issues or so are shaky, particularly as Gaiman tries to integrate his vision into the DC universe. But from issue 8 on, it's pretty much pitch perfect (and gets better and better imo).
-
...my DW is tearing through those big hardcover tomes right now and loving it.
One problem I always have with comic books or graphic novels is that the artwork has to grab me first...and I'm really kind of fussy about it. SANDMAN art seems adequate...not a big hurdle, but not a huge enticement either. -
The Shadow thing may have bothered me. Thanks for the heads up Flick. All the love here almost makes it a must read. In fact....EVERYONE IS NOW REQUIRED TO READ AMERICAN GODS. So it is written.
-
Can't afford it. I Do have a box of comics my cousin has been holding for me for many years. Gotta get that back and see what I have. I know I have issue #1 of GI Joe, as well as the Transformers limited series. Should be interesting to see what else I have.
-
Not that its a problem.
-
I am trying to read Watchmen at the moment. Not too far in, but I like it so far. Interesting seeing as I saw the movie first and am now reading the book.
-
...MATERIALS? I don't think it's ever come up around here. Everyone always says that the first one is great and the rest suck, but I thought the exact opposite. The first one didn't really grab me until towards the end, and I loved how the second and third books got progressively bigger and weirder.
-
The art in the initial issues is much weaker than in the later ones. Some of the artwork is downright astonishing (see the issue "Ramadan").No, Mac. AMERICAN GODS is pure prose.
-
So close to a first post in the Piratesback. Unprecedented for me at this time of day in such a commercial thread. Not that i give 2 turfs about being first.
-
But when I do I make an obnoxious comment about it. It's supremely retarded when people make such a huge deal out of it. If it got you money or something ok I could see it, but you gain nothing so really who gives a fuck. It's important to people with really empty lives I suppose.

That is just fucking gay. In fact, I would say the reason I wasn't fist this time is cause I was posting something juvenile yet relevant. Curse this need to be on topic.
-
I've read Pullman's HIS DARK MATERIALS. Thoroughly enjoyed 'em too. Too bad they screwed the pooch with THE GOLDEN COMPASS. At least they got Iorek the bear right. Speaking of Gaiman, I just read ELSEWHERE that Eric Kripke (the man behind SUPERNATURAL) is trying to get SANDMAN developed as a television show. The good news is that one of his 'conditions' is that it must have Gaiman's blessing or INVOLVEMENT, or he'll drop it. Coolness. Flicka---I'll second the notion that you really gotta give SANDMAN another chance. I wasn't a huge fan of a lot of the art, but it changes from storyline to storyline, and some of it is really freakin' gorgeous later on. And damn, the writing is just so incredible that it really doesn't matter what it looks like. There's a reason it's so beloved so many years after the last book was written.

I'll be heading to my storage unit to dig out some reading material. Back later peebs.

You're welcome.

You mean apart from the gorgeosity of the McKean covers, right Flick? Right!

Of course Choppah was in there, that's enough to drive anyone away from a TB.
-
OMG that movie, James Brolin fighting a demonic car. How can you beat that? Oh and the car's horn is still creepy.
-
I always bought based on the art work. Anything Jim Lee had my money. Sadly i didn't really care about story all that much. Peter David was one of the few that would catch my interest. His Hulk run was great.
-
I better watch at least one movie I have not seen. I am getting really bad, I used to do a lot of catch up viewing, now I am lazy and just watch stuff I have already seen. Shame on me. Maybe I will get me a copy of Dr. Strangelove...just maybe.

...hi, Nilla. My library has the big, collected editions...
by flickapoo
...of SANDMAN. I suppose the individual covers are in there, but you have to dig through the phone-book for them.
Did McKean only do covers? SANDMAN aside, it always makes me crazy when inside work and cover aren't the same person. -
When that was the shooting name of Jedi? Does not compute.
-
...as it sounds... Just now I feel like I'm working really hard in hopes of being adequate.
-
You know, I can't remember if McKean did internal stuff on Sandman. I'm pretty sure he did a couple of the annuals. He also did an awesome issue (cover and internal) of Hellblazer called "Hold Me". Which I got Gaiman to sign.
But hey, I can't check all that because remember my tale of woe about losing all my uninterrupted runs of Sandman and other Vertigo titles from water damage? -
The new one coming out in Dec is a Jedi spoof. Why they called the first one blue harvest I don't know, Seth McFarlane is a weed smoker, that may explain a lot.Anyways, off to my afternoon shift, talk to you all in a bit.
-
for STAR WARS.
-
For the info. I'll agree to disagree with you on the show. Good God I hate it. American Dad I found less infuriating. Anyway I'll stop there.
Catch ya later mate.
I'm out too. Past 2 in the A.M. and my brain has shut down for the night. -
I guess I shouldn't challenge the STAR WARS knowledge of someone called "rogueleader" ...
-
Like I said, Jedi. The tagline was "Horror beyond imagination" or something like that from memory. They used it to keep lollygaggers and rubbernecks away while shooting. Didn't work for long. Which is why I didn't get the Family Guy SW spoof being named that. Then again, I don't get the Something Something Dark Side one either.
Right, this time I mean it. Laterz. -
I shouldn't challenge the SW knowledge of someone with "vader" in their name, either!
-
That was me.
Now, I REALLY mean it. Out. -
If I live an adequate life, things will be well.

ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES
1971.
Directed by Don Taylor.
Starring Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, Bradford Dillman, Natalie Trundy, Eric Braeden, and Ricardo Montalban.
The second best, by far, of THE PLANET OF THE APES series of films is now nominated as a possible Pantheon inductee at AICN. I can hear the snobbier of The Pedalbackers sneering from a safe distance. Certainly, it might seem out of place sitting next to PATHS OF GLORY or, even KING KONG, and it'd obviously seem out of place as an inductee preceding the original classic, but, make no mistake, you're gonna induct far less worthy titles over time. Odd to dismiss it out-of-hand, considering this is the era when genre pictures with any iota of "depth" are routinely acclaimed.
How do you continue to sequelize a concept when the previous film (the truly ill-conceived
BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES) ended with the destruction of the planet? Well, when you have time travel and paradoxes as a given from the beginning, you can do almost anything, but no one could've predicted what the film-makers would do, when they turned the whole kaboodle on its hairy head.
OK, you can nit-pick this plot specific, if you want: Genius ape "Milo," played by James Dean's BFF Sal Mineo, somehow found one of the U.S. astronauts' spaceships out in The Forbidden Zone and had time to get it in working order while the gorillas were smacking down on skinless mutants. It's a throwaway explanation, and in the history of sci-fi silliness it's really no more preposterous than invading peoples' subconsciouses and building M.C. Escher architecture there. As an excuse to get "Zira" and "Cornelius," the hippie chimpanzees from the first, only briefly used in the second, back to 1970s America, it works, and the opening shot of three astronauts poking out of their escape hatch, removing their helmets to reveal furry chimp faces, was a shock nearly as bold and exciting as the first sight of gorillas on horseback in the first film.
Blockbusteritis has brainwashed us into expecting sequels must perpetually up the ante, action and thrill-wise, but ESCAPE takes the less-used route and unexpectedly ups the ante in a whole 'nother way. Stranding apes among humans, as opposed to astronauts among apes, positions the film as a more traditional invading-alien/monster movie, but, while mixing in elements of romantic comedy and political thriller, writer Paul Dehn preserves - enhances, even - the racial-political philosophy of Rod Serling's concept. A return to the concept of misunderstood monster, as classic an idea as Frankenstein's Creation or The Wolfman, updated with a contemporary wardrobe and modern concerns. Women's equality, racial prejudice, political dishonesty, pacifism, even, ethnic cleansing. Heavy issues, deftly embraced by a film about talking apes. More skillfully handled here than even in the magnificent first chapter, which got a little preachy in its third act before recovering with a terrific ending.
ESCAPE's an original twist on the classic immigrant tale, as well. The Other is fascinating as long as it wears our tie-dyed dresses and drinks our "grape juice plus" - as long as it assimilates. Once The Other challenges our preconceived notions of superiority, however, things get quite a bit dicier. All of this without once resorting to shouting, "Hey! Look at me! I'm an apartheid metaphor over here!" With Eric Braeden's conservative government bureaucrat as the villain, representing an entire generation's distrust of the establishment in the pre-Watergate era, the ape characters become, for the first time in the series, really, heroes for the audience. The jeopardy they're in becomes unbearable. Their ultimate fates, horrifying.
This one is emotional heart of the whole saga. And, considering the saga in question involves actors slumming around in plastic prosthetics, its effectiveness is surprising and rewarding for those who are willing.
★★★★☆ ¼

Teabaggin' wingnuts are already slithering out of the woodwork accusing the Obama administration of sabotage. Wow.

Sixes, that was a wonderful review of my favorite Ape movie...
-
Sixies, we're on the verge of seeing the Republican Party, a version of which that has embraced aggressive ignorance and extremism as "the mainstream," reclaiming at least the House of Representatives. The people who'll vote in the midterm elections won't care about oil rigs or wars or anything, they're concerned either about their (lack of) employment or the fact that a half-breed illegitimate black Muslin is pretending to be president of these here United States. Right now, America is so in love with its own demise, it's willing to put a more extreme, volatile and stupid edition of the party that largely created the multitude of messes we're in back in power.
-
So
&zwj fucking depressing. -
Colonel....yes how dare you question my knowledge!!! LOL...seriously though I do know a lot about SW...I would not say I know everything, but a lot.Sixies....great review, gonna have to revisit that movie been a while since I have seen it.Don't even get me started on politics. Republicans.....people who love America, but hate Americans...what a bunch of self righteous ass fuckers. Put them all in a giant mean grinder and be done with it. Dems are not much better, but at least they TRY to pretend they care about the citizens...try. That's all I have to say about that.
-
...Zuul?
-
since I wasn't woken up at 7 am by panicked callers...Got to sleep in for a change...

Mrs Rogue is getting me a special treat for my birthday next week....some good ole herbal refreshment :) She is awesome. That's my "secret" present, obviously she cant wrap it and have me open it in from of the kids lol, so she said she's getting me something else as well.
-
in the long run. The racist reactionary values that fuel the Teabaggers are representative of its demographical makeup being mostly white old heads. Young people do not care about Socialism/Communism, are not homophobic, are much more accepting of brown people and are not as cynical about the possibility of government by the people working for the people.
-
That's not me..that's from our dear departed
brother..subby. He said I could post it. -
...but I think we're in for an ugly scene. They won't go down without a fight, and even the more reasonable older white people I know seem irrationally reactionary and ill at ease in their guts about no longer being the only dominant way of American life...as if there was ever such a thing...
-
But they'll try to create as much damage as possible in the relative short time the old white majority has left. It doesn't take long to destroy a republic from within.
-
...hijack a certain percentage of the same discontent that swept Obama into office...that troubles me.
-
hiding it from the kids gets harder and harder every year they get older...until eventually you just have to break the news...With my oldest daughter, the ex and I would get high in our room (put down the damp towel at the bottom of the door and all) and we would usually get away with it by claiming incense or something, until one night when she was like 12, she was really panicked and afraid something was on fire...So, we decided to come clean. We sat her down together and told her effectively that the school drug programs were teaching her bullshit about weed and that most of her friends' parents, at least the ones we knew, all smoked weed...She cried a little and had a "there's no Santa" moment, then she got over it and we never had a drug problem with her after that, because she knew we would be strait with her about other drugs...
-
There are far too many "moderates" in the party who side with the GOP on issues such as spending cuts and tax relief for the rich. The Dems really need to tap into some raw populism these next few months if they want to mitigate some of the damage at the polls.
-
I have a spot that even I have to get on a stool to get to. It's the last place anyone would look because no one wants to climb up to it. I also do it outside, either on the side of the house or take a quick stroll down the block. My bat looks like a cigarette so I arouse no suspicion. Got all bases covered my friend.
-
do you really think they care about how they leave this earth or what state its in.they are greddy to the bone and are more thena willing to die off rich and comfortable than worry about the rest of us..that wont be their problem...itll be the younger generations problem..its like those annoying brats on reality shows who wont do some chores in their shared house..someone else will do it for me..fuck that.

Got my SANDMAN (and acilliar minis/specials), HITMAN, PREACHER, My Joe Lansdale HAP & LEONARD books, AKIRA, HP Lovecraft books, Christopher Moore, and BONE. Soooo much good reading! Flicka, on the Sandman covers....McKean did a LITTLE interior art, but it doesn't really matter. The covers, for the most part, aren't really "comic-booky". A lot of 'em were things like 3-D collages he put together & photographed, things like that. They are ART. As a matter of fact, I actually bought the book DUST COVERS, which is just a book of all the SANDMAN covers. Beautiful stuff. No poop.

Then he went back to see if he was missing something in the lyrics...then he started wondering about the apparent attitude of Americans as they responded to the song...did they understand it? Were they being ironic?
I think the whole thing just wasn't adding up. -
Maybe when you get older, you'll know these things. Now get up here, and PISS in the radiator.
-
Robert was a stone cold PSYCHO by the time that happened to him, he either thought he could actually do something against the gunship, or just flat out wanted to die. Either way he was fucking nuts by that point. Not that you could blame him.You know what Fuzzman? As unbelievable as the movie was, I think you would be surprised what people can accomplish in times of absolute desperation.
-
i always thought the scene where they killed their friend cause hes a fucking traitor! i always thought that was hardcore.id like to see that scene in the remake.
-
most of the folks I knew who loved it just seemed to focus on the "Born in the USA" bits, not the verses themselves. But then again, we were young way back then. I knew it weren't no flag-waving, patriotic anthem. I could just sort of FEEL the anger...especially after I saw him do it live once or twice on the teevee.
-
wasn't necessarily what it was perceived to be. I think it was the lines about the narrator being turned away at the refinery and the VA man saying, "Son, don't you understand?"
-
think it's pure macho jingo bullshit. I try to tell them, no, actually listen to the words, but it's all to no avail.
-
it was stone-cold Robert that pulled the trigger. Just another day at the office for him. Rogueman--Robert's total transformation over the course of the film is definitely one of the highlights, along with just how much the brothers really LOVE each other to the bitter end. That scene on the park bench in the snow kills me. "Daddy's gonna be here soon."

Right on all points bro. Despite its out there premise, it's truly a powerful film. I think it may even be kind of underrated. Damn, Jed...could be some of the best acting Patrick Swayze has ever done, and it was not even close to being his biggest hit.

Mac, I saw you mentioned earlier that early scene in JAWS
by colonelfatheart
when Brody's on an "important" phone call. It's not just that the domestic details in the background aren't really in the background, Michael is talking to Ellen about going out on the water or something, thus establishing early on that the Chief is not doing this simply out of duty, but to protect his family. What elegant storytelling.
-
Also, it wasn't a rig that caught fire, but a production platform. I don't think they do drilling out there, but STILL.
-
RED DAWN = good fuckin' movie.
-
I actually do wanna see the remake, what with the whole Chiney angle and all. I love the beginning when they are in school watching the parachutes drop in. It is this slow building panic. The first time I saw the movie I really felt that part. Great visual. I bet in the remake the parachutes are CG. Fuck Hollywood.

I always admired that choice with the 2 conversations. I'm sure there are plenty of examples. The other kind of similar "choice" like that is in Reservoir Dogs. The scene when Mr. White and Mr. Orange go to the bathroom to clean up, smoke and try to figure out what is going on. QT intentionally leaves the camera at the far end of the hallway. Harvey and Steve are freaking out down the hall and through a doorway and we (as the viewer) are left 20 feet away from the scene. Only after watching the movie 2 or 3 times did I find myself saying, what the fuck, I wanna BE IN THERE. It is this desire he fills the viewer with just by simply keeping his distance with the camera. It drives you crazy with anticipation and tension.

First off, she is younger than me, second off, I said nothing wrong, and third, she has done this one too many times.So I wrote her an email telling her I was pissed off and instead of acting like my mother, be supportive and back me up instead of always telling me what NOT to do. I invited her to a little birthday thing for me for next weekend, and all she said was she couldn't make it. It may sound odd, but I could tell just by the tone of her email that she is pissed at me. Too bad.Anyways, enough of that nonsense, it's time to go!!!!! I'll be back sometime later pebrews.Peace and chicken grease/

I'll let you guys know how creepy the extended sex scene is.
-
youhavegot it...and..AAAH!true story.
-
since the cold war ended. But damn, your eagle eyes and bat ears pick up all kindsa stuff, don't they?
-
HEY YOU GUYS!
Quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen in a movie. Literally never fails to elicit STRONG laughter from me. -
That and my sense of humor are, I believe, my defining traits. Oh, and my percieved superiority to nearly everone I meet. That's pretty strong too.
-
as they ride around whooping, tosssing their guns from hand to hand, laughing... It's the little things for me I think it's a mail plane.
-
you stinker. I'm pretty much the go-to guy on movies in my circles, but I see I have much to learn. But wait!! I spied the Ten Rings in J-Trek! I'll take that one small victory.
-
Don't shoot any invisible swordsmen.

...to get that link.
He won it good. -

-

-
...on your binder in sparkles...Sigh.
-
You, too are my HEEEEE-ro. Though I know not why. I do not seek details, so you may hide your secret shame.
-
You.....you dislike SANDMAN? Now, I ask out of curiosity, knowing that not everyone likes the same things....but why?
-
I guess because it's so universally lauded, my kneejerk reaction was to dislike it. Honestly, I've never read any of it, and it's here on the shelves for me to read for free. I like Neil Gaiman's novels, but the art in Sandman just puts me off. Also, as I've said, I'm more of a tights n fights kinda guy for the most part. So, in summation, the art and the heaps of praise are probably the two factors that keep me from reading or enjoying it.
-
But I finally sucked it up and read the first trade. And then I got hooked. You should give it a shot like I did. And that original artist leaves early on too.
-
Thought I had someone in my corner for a minute. But nooooooo, I have to irrationially hate Sandman all by myself. Maybe someday I'll check it out. If nothing else, it'd give me something to talk to geek chicks about.
-
Sep 02, 2010 7:35:26 PM CDT
...I'm going to have to give it another shot at some point...
by flickapoo
...Scary is on GIANT 12LB. SANDMAN BOOK COLLECTION VOL.2 right now, and loving it.
I find it nearly impossible to ignore anything she's very enthusiastic about...with the notable exception of the TV show HOUSE. -
...and the panels didn't flow or something...the whole thing was really visually irritating.
-
fir much the same reasons you gave...I'm a tights and fights guy too...Daughter is reading the first trade now and gushing about it...But, she still hasn't convinced me...I'm a busy guy...
-
I thought I was the only person on Earth that hadn't read it! Yay, Flick!
-
I irrationally dislike Sandman cause it looked weird, not heroy enough for me and generally not my cup of tea. Oh and it was not Marvel. I pretty much shy away from anything non Marvel. Irrational. See.
-
In one of the early issues of the book. It was about same time death was introduced.
Serial killers convention issue was funny as it had panels for the attendees to participate in and a rule that had to be followed: No killing 3 days before or after the convention (Or something like that) within 50 miles. Course someone couldn't fight the urge. -
I won't give you any grief. It really picks up at the end of the first trade, with the 24 HOURS story...that is some MESSED..UP...SHIT in there. And as for the art...Kelley Jones, Michael Kaluta, Charles Vess, Bryan Talbot, Jill Thompson, and Mark Hempel all contribute later. There is some GORGEOUS stuff. I'll admit I don't like a lot of the stuff early on, especially the Sam Kieth issues.
-
Flick said he had a prize if anyone would reveal an embarrassing story about themselves. I told the tale of when I was in co-ed gym class and got pantsed, sweats and underwear all. After correcting my situation I proceeded to chase, tackle and begin the process of removing the kids jeans(who the fuck wears jeans to gym class). Only after the teacher forcibly rmoved me from the kid did I realize just how gay trying to take a dudes pants off was. Blind rage is a hell of a thing. Anyway...enjoy your tilde.
-
I'm still waiting for my roomie to bring home the new Secret Warriors, tho. I got all excited after seeing your rave review on here, but since neither of us pick up as many titles anymore, it'll prolly be another week before he gets it...
-
Much obliged.
-
they tried their best to get me to read Sandman, but, I reasoned, I had to save something to look forward to...But, really, I'm not that into comics about gods and metaphysical embodiments...Have the same problem with Thor and the Eternals and even Kirby's New Gods...
-
...you were so mad you attacked him before rectifying the situation...you were fightin' nude like Viggo!
-
I like mutants and freaks and aliens and biological accidents being the source of my hero origins. Hey..irrational, it's the default reason.
-
You have your versionI have minenever the two shall meet
-
by a radioactive something, something...
-
And for all you capes-n-tights guys: turns out that the old JLA villain Dr Destiny's power crystal thingy was actually Dream's ruby; he had transferred a lot of his power into it. That was how the Dr could affect dreams. Ol' Morpheus actually visits Scott Free & the Martian Manhunter in an early issue for some info as he is trying to reclaim his property.
-
...and cheering with excitement and bloodlust.
-
The most poorly drawn J'onn J'onzz I've ever seen. In fact, I'm gonna go take another look just to confirm that.
-
that's ol' Sam Kieth for you. I can take his VERY stylized stuff on THE MAXX, but his work on established characters is TEH SUCK.
-
Sorry.
-
He did do a decent one-off issue of the Incredible Hulk that had Mr.Fixit (gray hulk)squaring off against Mr.Hyde on a train. But his style sorta fit the mood of the story, and this was a few years after his Sandman stuff, I believe.
-
Almost as bad as Gene Day and Carmine Infantino...
-
except his Dracula stuff...
-
I would love to see a movie based on that. Just call it Mr. Fixit with no reference to The Hulk. Yup..awesomness.
-
That del Toro wants Tom Cruise for ATMOM, but Universal wants James Mcavoy. Interesting tidbit.
-
god stuff, I did like when Hulk fought with The Pantheon. That was a fun arc.
-
Sixies...you aint a lil bitch, I have shed tears during movies when you wouldn't think a person would, but fuck it we are movie geeks..DO NOT JUDGE US!!!!!!Had a great dinner, Mrs Rogue made baked bbq chicken, rice pilaf and green beans...yum to the max my friends.Saving Red Dawn for the weekend, gonna try to watch a bunch of movies.Hoping Earl passes Long Island, or at the very least, unleashes minimal wrath upon our island.To all those who are high...I will be soon!!! Not tonight, but within 5 days or so I will have me stash! Whooo hoo!
-
But then again, almost no one though he could pull off Lestat, and the fucker knocked that one outta the park, so who knows. McEvoy was good in Wanted, so I could see it. Will be interesting to see where they go with that.
-
here is the KYI'm out gents. Camping this weekend so I'll prolly be around in the a.m. and then high as fuck all weekend. Keep in touch with yourselves.

This weekend at my second job, one of the girls said she and boyfriend were going to have pizza. We started giving her shit, that pizza really meant sex. Asked if she liked her pizza with extra sausage, if she liked pizza in the morning, etc.
So the codeword for some of us at work for sex is now pizza. -
to fill her up...But, yeah, unless it is consensual, what you are engaging in at the workplace is technically called sexual harassment...
-
except that it is illegal and carries with it stiff penalties...Heh*Heh*He said STIFF...
-
...and fresh mozzarella is a must. How does that translate to pizzasex?
-
it is just bread, which is a metaphor for passion, and you just pile everything you like on it and melt some cheese over it and it tastes delicious...
-
you start to get hungry for waffles...So, put some syrup on your pizza every now and then...It's the only way to be sure...
-
"put some syrup on your pizza every now and then" ?!?!?!?!?!? WTF is this? You're molesting pizza now? Undressing it with your EYES? Pouring SYRUP on it? Pizza is a BEAUTIFUL THING, between people who LOVE each other, and you're making it all *sniff* DIRTY. I can't even BE here right now, OMG. I feel so... so USED...
-
but, sticky...
-
Mrs. Buttersworth or aunt jemima?I'm a jemima boyo
-
The only acceptable syrup is sprung from the sap of the maple tree, slow and sweet, and simmered for hours by fat men in coveralls, sitting out in shacks watching Hee-Haw reruns. Get it right. Aunt Jemima. Jesus.

he'll be more 'bumbling and ineffective'.
-
I list Depp, but not Keef. It didn't do much for Cooper.
My Mum, who is only 61, was recently a bit shocked to see a guy wearing black nail polish. Obviously she has not heard of rock and roll, and retired to under said rock in the sixties... the irony being I was conceived well out of wedlock in the back of a car. -

NILLA, Eccleston had a long list of good shit behind him
by scarywaitress
when he took Who. Tennant did not (outside of Britian) and this is NOT how I want him introduced to the idiot public of this fine country. First a villain in Harry Potter, now an eyelinered, wig-sportin', cape-wearin' weirdo? Slap an Obama sticker on him, for Chrissakes, half the country will want to kick his ass anyway. DAVID, LISTEN TO ME. TALK TO EWAN. HE'LL POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. OR CILLIAN. HE KNOWS HIS SHIT AND DIDN'T WHORE IT OUT FOR LUCAS. BETTER YET... FIND SPIELBERG. SPIELBERG CAN SAVE YOU!
-
so much better than syrup. Dear? Oh dear? You're in bed already? That's convenient... I'm feeling a bit... peckish... 'Scuse me, gentlemen...
-
first up that my conception is so rock'n'roll (LITERALLY! HAW!), but then secondly that they didn't even know what a condom was.
Needless to say I was a bit grouchy when they tried to tell me what to do in that respect as a teenager. I get the "don't make the same mistake" thing. But it was well and truly trumped by "Do as I say, not as I do" hypocrisy... -
He was the creepy tongue dude from Goblet of Fire?
-
What kind of chicken talk is that?
-
but I was thinking about poor FLick and the Tennant conflict of interest...
-
as the "You really shouldn't be smoking" talk my dad gave me. As he sat there smoking.
-
Do. NOT. Go there. The Harry Potter movies are shit, and pollute all who touch them. Seriously, though, if Tennant's agent doesn't step the fuck up heads will roll. ROLL. This is so unfair.
-
It was lovely seeing you all!

"It doesn't matter where you work up your appetite, as long as you always go home for dinner."

As Demon said worth a visit. Not bloody but for the audience it was aimed for (pre-blood lusting teens) it delivered. Just enough scares to have you worrying what was going to happen next.
Ending is good -
Fright Night.....classic 80's film and always worth a look....remake....ehhhhhh I hear Colin Ferall is the vampire....on the fence with that one. Speaking of vampires, watched Interview last night, damn Cruise was just great in that, as were all in the film. My step daughter used to be a huge Twilight fan, but we had her watch Interview, and she came to us afterwards and said "yea, Twilight sucks"...mission accomplished.Just have to throw in my 2 cents on the vasectomy thing...it has ZERO effect on sex drive and ummmm...other stuff, I know because I am snipped, and trust me, no effect on anything.Pizza...is like sex, even when it's bad it's still pretty good.On that note, here's to a good Friday!
-
i think its supposed to look bad and dated and uber-cheesey..perhaps david vincent (the characters name, for non fans)is a has been like in the original and these are pictures from his 80s glory days..it looks like its a pic of a poster or something..anyway, thats the best defense i have for it..i did my best..

by colonelfatheart
The original is very dear to me.
-
Wonder if it's streaming...
-
CHOPPIN BROCCOLI!!!
-
Long time no see.
-
Also, just read the synopsis... I take it back. This could be fucking GREAT for Tennant. Like, a role tailor-made for him... now I'm hoping its good.
-
you still looking for Pinot recs?
-
enjoy..
-
afterwards you and the hubby..you need to watch BUCKAROO BANZAI..even better!!!
-
How are you this fine morning?You should check out Fright Night, it's good stuff. I'm with you Colonel, not too keen on the remake either. May see it at some point, but not thrilled about it. Even less thrilled about that asshat Brand remaking Arthur...where did he get the clout to ruin a comic classic?
-
Mad Max meets Priscilla, Queen of the Desert? I call that a must see.
-
*bows head in shame* I never saw Buckaroo Banzai
-
I do not get the love... but then I always kind of despised Dudley Moore. I think I would have been OK with the first movie if I hadn't seen the sequel... that is one of those instances where the sequel was so bad, it actually ruined the FIRST movie for me... well, what wasn't already ruined by Liza Minelli...
-
Wish the dude had been bigger than he was, a damn good actor. Aside from Robo, he played a good scumbag in Firstborn.
-
"Come to Me."
-
Most of them just don't seem good enough the FIRST time to warrant a remake... what's the point?
-
Something affordable but effective. Up to $30 if you can do it.
-
I hear ya on that, a bad sequel can ruin a good movie. Atrhur 2 was pretty damn terrible. It doesn't help if you don't like Dudley Moore either. But for me, the first is comedy gold.Regardless, you must see Fright Night, you'll like it.
-
The Hong Kong Cavaliers are not unlike the Pedalback.
-
Rogue, did you see Weller guest starring in the best FRINGE episode to date, "White Tulip"? Weller was PHENOMENAL--should've been an award winning performance.
-
I hope Flick doesn't get jealous ...
-
Catch y'all in a bit.
-
No, did not see that episode. I need to catch up on Fringe, watched the first season, liked it quite a bit, then just lost track of it. it's hard for me to stay comitted to a show, even one I like....weird.Scary..BLASPHEMY!!!! LOL....kidding...well not really. I find there are a lot of underappreciated movies from the 80's, more than people think. Sure there was a lot of cheese, but some damn fine films as well. Curious as to what it is about 80's films you find so meh.

Wyatt, Sean Minor, or Fleur de California are the ones I sell that would be good to find (all about $15-$18 retail.) The Sean Minor is the most California-style (lush, ripe fruit, darker color) and the Fleur is the most French (pale color, more bright red berry/strawberry fruit.) As an interesting comaparison, try them side by side... at the very least, you can see what kind of Pinot drinker you REALLY are... because unless you're a geek, only one style will probably do it for you... and it's a good thing to know when you ask a wine geek for help. Wyatt is in the middle of those other two extremes... none of them are oaky. I'm not into oaky Pinot (what's the point? Pinot is all about nuance, you load it with oak it might as well be Syrah...) A step up to $30 will get you Owen Roe Sharecropper's Pinot... David O'Reilly is the shit, yo. Gorgeous, nuanced, no real discernible oak... just delicious. An opened bottle doesn't last half an hour in our house. Pinots I don't sell that are still damn good: CALERA (Josh Jensen is a god,) Ramsay, Bearboat (well, it used to be, haven't had it in a couple vintages,) and Stephen Ross. For shop recs... Sparrows in Hoboken is great (one of my best accounts) but for price, Wine Outlet in Secaucus is really cheap. They don't carry a TON of my stuff, but they will order it if you ask. There's a GREAT little mom-and-pop store in Maplewood, and another small outfit in Tenafly (if you ever go north) called Wine Ventures, they're a trip. If you're looking for a good place to eat out, btw, Bin14 in Hoboken is AWESOME- small plates, you can taste lots of things with their 2oz pours- and the Turtle Club is amazing too, new hip young owners with fucking incredible food made with no real kitchen, I shit you not. Just some hot plates and a microwave... you would not believe it. If you ever want to go, shoot me an email... if you tell them you know me, they MIGHT actually be nice to you (the managers like me, go figure.) PS, they're pouring the Sean Minor Pinot at Bin14.

When a girl says "Twilight sucks" the worlds a little brigher
by leo54304

What is a good low priced White Zinfandel? I have had a hankering for some lately, would like to share a bottle with Mrs Rogue. i usually get really cheap stuff....tastes good enough, but something a bit better than the 7 dollar I usually get would be nice.
-
You got that right,especially one who called me a loser for not liking Twilight, that is a huge turnaround, but we did it. In fact, she really despises it now. That's just awesome.
-
Say, Col. This chicken smells like my mommy's unawares.
-
Each bottle give you just enough to get 2 glasses of wine. Inexpensive also and fits in a mini cooler nicely.
-
1987 starring Elizabeth Shue.
Quote of the movie
Don't fuck with the babysitter!! -
i think scary just died a little..
-
Maddalena is good... but if you want to expand your horizons, find the rosé section and pick something from Spain or France. There is a ton of great pink wines out there. Just FYI, Spanish rosados tend to be fruitier... French rosé will (most of the time) be less sweet. FYI to all Pebrews: Dry means that the FINISH (the aftertaste, right after you swallow) is not sweet. It does NOT mean not fruity... you can have a wine that has lots of ripe fruit flavors that is still dry... also, dry does not mean better. Anyone who says so is a snob.
-
with fermented grape juice as I am... nor should they be. It's just a beverage, for fuck's sake.
-
Me, I'm fine with some locals from Door County WI and I like Sutter as its within my budget as well as I only need 2 glasses before I reach my limit on wine.
Back in the 70s anyones mom like their wine with some 7 up to take the edge off the taste? My mom did. -
it's so hawt.
-
you gotta sing the blues.
-
that revolves around an issue of PLAYBOY magazine..
-
or I'm telling Mom about your Playboys!
-
When I saw LEAVING LAS VEGAS, the fact the Elizabeth Shue was 'the babysitter' made the 'gin poured over boobies' scene THAT MUCH HOTTER. Is that weird?
-
OMG, how could I NOT like sweet and pink? That was just too easy, really. But sex jokes aside, many thanks. I have always never been quite sure of what dry meant now thanks to you I do. I definitely prefer sweet. Also, why is it called WHITE Zinfandel when it's pink? That's always puzzled me. TY for the reccomendations.
-
I never saw Leaving Las Vegas, but with what you just said, now I MUST see it. Elisabeth Shue, boobies, gin...oh yea.
-
And I've only ever seen it the once. But it was on a BIG screen at what was then a brand new theater, so it was BOUND to have an effect.
-
Although I enjoy it
-
It's on the list.
-
Everything else I blocked out
-
Was never into the show, had no real interest in the movie. I like Kilmer and all, but it just didn't look all that great.
-
Not as funny as Airplane! but when the gags worked, they worked. Worth watching at least once.
-
behind Airplane & Airplane 2. Everybody go skeet surfin'!
-
to me:AIRPLANE!NAKED GUNTOP SECRET..they had a black dude named chocolate mousse!!!
-
I hear it's funny, it's on the list.God with all the movies on my list, I don't know if I am gonna live long enough to watch every movie on it.
-
Anybody else watched the HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN trailer over on the main page? My eyes are filled with glee. And Hauer delivers his little monologue with such....feeling. I'm gonna type that again, 'cause it brings me joy. HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN.
-
I think b/c they all came so much later than the AIRPLANEs and TOP SECRET. But yeah, NAKED GUN is better than AIRPLANE 2 & TOP SECRET. And I keep getting the NAKED GUNs mixed up. Is the first the one with him posing as an umpire at the ball game?
-
Won't give it away but for that one line almost makes the movie worth seeing by itself.
-
Elvis movies, cold war and teen flicks. Gotta see it.
-
Using his characters name Nick Rivers. And damn!! Was he good looking back in the day!!
-
Good, underrated actor (and surprisingly adroit comedian).
-
...pretty much the funniest thing I'd ever seen at that point in my life.
-
I LOVE IT.

Whats your rush? Why are you always in such a bloody huryy!! Hmmmm
-
He was great in Real Genius too.
-
Won't give them away but oh gawd, so damn funny.

-
Can't decide if I should watch Red Dawn, or Shaun Of The Dead which I have not seen. Prolly go with what I have not seen, as I need to start catching up on those movies.Is Shaun as good as I have heard?
-
I'll definitely make my way to Secaucus and Hoboken. And I may just give one of those eateries a try. You really went above and beyond. Cheers, madam!

Mostly bored. New stuff wasn't game changing, except for a scene towards the end. Thank Eywa the sex scene wasn't extended like I thought it was going to be. There was maybe two more seconds of it.

Much better in 3D, you forgive the lack of a really good story and cookie cutter characters, and can even deal with Bland Worthington. It's still good without the 3D, but a much more immersive experience in 3D, you really feel like your on Pandora.That being said, now that Cameron has dazzled the world with his 2 1/2 hour tech demo, I hope he steps up and writes a really good story for the next Avatar movie.

Man, I thought he was some kind of twisted genius, but The_Choppah is out of control. I truly think he may be schizoid/borderline psychotic.

yes was a little lackluster to me..but for some reason its really popular with the kiddies..i think its their weakest and then NEMO..

but all the oscar bait films have yet ot be released..i think INCEPTION will get a nom..MAYBE SHUTTER ISLAND..but thats all i can think of so far that has a chance..

This fall is a huge question mark, though. Can the Coens do it again so soon?

Pixar...mostly lackluster? That is probably one of the dumbest statements I have ever heard. Cars, as lackluster as it was, was better than half of the garbage that H-Wood spews out. Anyone who thinks all of Pixar's films are lackluster, tell me, what is your idea of better?
-
Finally watching it after having the DVD for years....yea yea, lame I know, but at least I am finally getting to it.
-
Looks sick as fuck! Gotta see it!
-
Better than half the garbage Hollywood spews out? Garbage like Machete, Piranha 3D, Grindhouse, Terminator Salvation?
-
Yes.
-
That one's for Subby.
-
Hey look, someone's off his meds again.

I think it's about damn time Rogue got to watchin' SHAUN OF THE DEAD. That's a five star movie right there.

Including my personal holy grail-a comic I've wanted to read since I started reading comics, but has always been too expensive: "What if Wolverine killed the Hulk?". From the original What if series. It had a light stamp on the cover that read "Do not sell" or somesuch, so I got it for a buck. Eh, it was ok. I actually preferred the backup story, "What if the Fantastic Four never was?"

-
T:S and Piranha 3D??? Is he really trying to say that those two movies are better than any Pixar movie? If that's the case, then what a fucking joke. Credibility:ZeroNext.....
-
I'm with you, sequels/prequels do not in any way ruin the originals, I think it is rubbish when anyone says it does. Just my opinion.

Sometimes it's just too much and I've got work to do, ya know?

It's a five star movie, hands down, in my book.

Gotta see Hot Fuzz next, I hear it's not as good as Shaun, but a good watch regardless.Anyways, time to go get Mrs Rogue from work and come home and hit the sack.Peace out my fellow pebrews, talk to everyone tomorrow
-
Have a good weekend. And yeah, that's how I feel about Hot Fuzz as well.
-
Have a good one.
-
It's taken me a couple of days to get up to here, and God knows I've got too much work on. Maybe it's just cause I went overboard on disproving it.
On that note, I had a bunch of things I wanted to say to Rogue, but he's out now, so...
Yeah, with Fuzz - I guess it's all about your perspective - if that had come out first, everyone would have said it was fantastic, and then Shaun came out they would have said it was even better - not the general "Fuzz is good (no not you Fuzzy), but it was disappointing compared to Shaun" consensus. Like the "Sequel/remake/prequel ruined the original" thing, it says more about the observer than what is actually being observed. The original didn't change. The people did.
Does that make any sense? -

I thought one more sounded fine. But her woman parts are out of order. Had a few miscarriages, last one being ectopic, where she had to have one tube removed.
So the odds are against us. We call our daughter "miracle baby" because out of the 9 years we've been together, we've never used birth control.
But then again my little guys could be slowing down too. So who knows. -

by cheeses_of_nazareth
where they gave you a box with a LOT of buttons in rows to access your channels...At first my roommates and I ordered every channel available...First bill came, we cut to basic with HBO...One drunken stoned night we discovered if we pushed three certain buttons down at the same time, we could STILL get the Playboy Channel...FOR MOTHER FUCKIN' FREE!!!!
-
It was attached by a long ass cord...long enough to reach your sofa so you press the button from your seat.
We tried the technique of pressing certain buttons down halfway, before they clicked, sometimes you could make out the playboy channel better. -

Subtitles_Off has announced thru, Sixes, that he has been banhammered for his Facebook Meme....BTW, I found Subs riff to be extremely funny and topical, as is Sub's stock and trade...The fact that his posts remain visible causes me to pause...This is not normal procedure at AICN...Plus, Subs was, when I knew him, a lovable obsessive/compulsive internet over achiever...Today, aside from his sporadic bursts of posting in odd sites, what has kept this internet addict socially fulfilled these last few months? I mean, I can't go 24 hours without a fix...Enquiring minds just want to know...
-
Jobs tend to eat up a lot of time...especially if you don't have internet connection at your job...

I miss, Subs, a lot…and I fear that I may be the reason he won’t come back…Sixes, you obviously still have contact with him… the ‘Escape’ RETRO-RIGHT-BRAIN THEATER reprint , the letting us know Subs was Banhammered, etc… TRUTH…During the heat of the Teddy, ‘titties and beer’/Flick, ‘My Generation’/Moose, ‘Lady Gaga’ transitional controversy, Subs and I had some often harsh words in Subspace… Thru a third party, I later learned that Subs feels those words caused irreversible damage or irreconcilable differences or some such…and the few times I have encountered him outside of Pedalback, he has been quite initially antagonistic…I don’t recognize the words ‘irreversible‘ OR ’irreconcilable’ myself…but, that’s just me…I …TRULY… hope I have a much higher opinion of my own importance in that sad separation travesty than my own self absorbed guilt demands…but, I really, really want that squeaky clean karma…and all the bliss that promises… And now I have it… We all miss you, Subs… Come home, under any name you want…

after all my lauding the virtues of cats last night, one of ours tripped me up on the way to bed and I fell down almost the whole flight of stairs. I believe I cracked a rib on my left side. Hurts like 9 kinds of hell and even worse when I cough...Any advice on how to treat it? I know all a hospital will do is wrap it in a ace bandage...
-
Sorry to hear about that bro. My advice....don't movie around too much, let it heal. Take some painkillers, smoke a fattie and relax. The more you move, the more its gonna hurt.

Well, if prbally a deep bruise and will hurt for a long time
by leo54304
Aspirin and ice pack maybe. Lets check the web. Back in a few minutes.
-
...hurts to sit, hurts to stand, hurts to lie down, hurts to breathe...
-
Might get a small charge of like $10. Did that with a cat of mine when I did ask a vet.
-
the most intense pain is low on the side, like on the bottom rib...it is interfering with my ability to inhale deep lungfuls of cannibis smoke...Fuck me...
-
hurts to move, hurts not to move...I have never broken any bones besides my thumb and pinky toe and that one time when I broke my neck in three places in a car wreck, but, I was on morphine and oxcotin for most of that one...
-
but, I have like a $500 deductible on my insurance, 'cause it's cheaper and I hardly ever get sick, and I can't afford that for grey pictures of my insides...There's no discoloration or swelling just yet and no pissing blood, so I'll probably be fine...
-
And I fell down a flight of stairs once and my elbows, knees, wrist and ribs took a beating. But didn't go to hospital. Hurt for a few days but body slowly healed itself.
-
likely don't have internal bleeding. Play it by ear.
Gentlemen, I'm outta here and CHOPPAH if you can be more friendly like that, you could be a decent guy. Still need to apologize to Fishus. He was being friendly to you and well, he didn't deserve the things you said about him. Bye. -
I figure if I had any internal probs, I would have died in my sleep last night...since I didn't, (or did I? CHOPPAH being all nice...? WTF?) I should be fine...sore as shit, but fine...
-
...I slipped on our stairs once. We have the kind with turn, so I dropped straight down a good four feet before landing and catching a wooden stair under the ribs, and another across the thigh. I didn't know you could whack a leg that hard and not break it. When the bruising finally showed up it was this swirling bloody purple color from hip to thigh. I don't know what the hell I did to it, but I limped for weeks.
I hardly noticed the rib pain at the time, but that ended up hurting longer and being more annoying in the long run.
My math was the same as yours...no blood in my pee or crap, so...fuck it. -

-
...and it took the better part of a week to show up...then it was the whole side of the thigh, and sorta pooled around the knee.
Like you though, it was my internals I was worried about. I need my liver and kidneys to process wine...I can't be pulping them on the damn stairs. -
Now that you mention it, Choppah being civil is kinda weird....maybe we all kicked off last night, or we crossed into another dimension....Twilight Zone theme now playing

I swear I posted in this TalkBack... which must mean I posted something in the wrong talkback... which doesn't really matter, I guess... however...

I feel for ya bro, damn that really sucks. Hope it gets better FAST.So I am downloading some torrents for about 30+ movies (don't judge me, It's the only way I can get movies now) and I come across a torrent for the TV series of......The FlashOMFG!!!!! I could not believe it. I fucking loved that show, it only lasted one season but it rocked. Why it didn't last I cant say. Maybe then superheroes were not big like they are now, or maybe just the general public's aversion to quality entertainment. Just gotta get me some blank DVD's, only got about 6 right now. What a find.

I was surprised it wasn't picked up for a second season, too..

Were both homebound today, seems were the only ones who don't have anything to do today, to bad we can't chill face to face, would be fun.

I lived in North Carolina when Hugo hit...spent the night it hit inland in Charlotte only to have the storm rip thru the city leaving us stranded with no gas or food...it was a horrifying experience...
-
You were here in Charlotte during Hugo? Awesome! Me too. Course, I was 6 or 7, and your aftermath sounds like a nightmare. What were you doing here? My mom gathered my bro and I into the hallway to sleep. She let us go to the window for a minute to look outside. I imagined it would be like a tornado. Instead it was a lot of trees thrashing around and sticks flying in the air. When we go to Myrtle Beach every year (which was badly hit), the condos we stayed at all had "Remember Hugo" picture frames on the wall with photos of the damage, or they were just cute little cross-stitched remembrances.I always thought it was named Hugo in honor of the Charlotte Hornets mascot. Didn't realize later these things were named way early when they're just tropical storms.
-
score came out a few months ago? I thought this site was up to date on news?
-
I just fell asleep in the sun for an hour or so by the gf's parents' pool after hiking this morning.
-
and the wife flew back from DFW where her step-father was dying so I took the kids to pick her up in Charlotte...On the way home, we were hearing on the radio that Hugo was going to hit right near Wilmington. So we got a hotel on the north side of town...then after midnight we loaded up and drove further north because it was coming strait for Charlotte...Next morning it was like a war zone in the city...no electricity, hence no gas pumps and no fast food...
-
Really? I must have missed it. Oh well, there's only like 5,000 copies around for it. Too bad.
-
I seem to remember a talkback full of debates about Giacchino's work, which I skipped for the most part bc I'm a big fan of his but the Trek score was pretty meh for me except for the opening and closing titles.
-
That was a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. What is DFW?
-
Not sure when my present is arriving, I think she wants to surprise me lol.Speaking of Anakin, I'm not sure about the immaculate conception, but in Palpatines speech to Anakin at the opera in Episode III, he spoke of Darth Plagueis and his ability to influence the midichlorians to create life. I am not a big fan of the whole midichlorian thing, but that would explain Shimi not knowing how she got pregnant. Palpatine probably had something to do with it, and she may know him, but alas we will never really know.Did you wanna talk Star Wars or were you just making chit chat?LOL...Sorry had to use the Groundhog Day reference.How's it going Vades?
-
This site is hardly up to date with it's news lately.
-
Seriously, what are the people of Naboo thinking electing a 16-17 year old ruler and then Senator...I assume she could only be that old in ep 1, if Anakin is 18-19 in ep 2, which still makes Padme a cougar at 28-29...
-
where I grew up and now live again...
-
I figure she looked 19, but maybe she was a LOT older than we gave her credit, because Palpatine lives well into the OT and he was from Naboo.
-
still makes her a cougar...
-
And highly educated. Still, weird but interesting and "alien" form of government. As for Plagueis' ability to create life, and the fact that he taught his apprentice (Palpatine) everything he knew, yes it's implied Palpatie created Anakin, hoping to make the ultimate Sith apprentice. It also explains his fatherly attachment to the kid. Note the scene in Ep III when Palpatine finds the burnt out Anakin on the shores of Mustafar. Palpatine bends over and tenderly touches Anakin's forehead. It's the most human we ever see the evil Sith lord. Maybe the only real moment of compassion he's ever expressed.
-
Ben performs the exact same movement on Luke after he is knocked out by the Tusken Raiders on Tatooine.

Could be some form of Force healing or Force health assessment? But it still looks like a moment of compassion and caring.
-
Annakin blowing up the droid ship= Luke destroying the Deathstar; Annakin loses his hand in 2 = Luke losing his hand in 5; etc. etc...
-
Vades, I was thinking the same thing as I typed my earlier response, that is truly the only human moment Palpatine shows, everything else was crocodile tears.Cheeses, Anakin had to lose his hand at some point, if you recall the end of Jedi, when Luke lops off Vader's hand to reveal it is mechanical, then to look at his own fake hand and that's when he realized he was heading down the same path as his father. Had Lucas not included that (in Episode II), he would have truly been executed by every SW fan alive for leaving out such a huge detail like that.I agree though about Anakin in Episode I, that was too much pandering..."Luke blew up the Death Star much like his Dad blew up the droid control ship...see they do the same things, follow the same path". Now the hand thing held much significance, whereas the droid ship/Death Star thing was just a silly thing to further the whole Anakin/Luke parallel destiny stuff.
-
A lot of things happened that were supposed to give a link to the OT. Some worked, some did not. What I mentioned in my last post was a good example of something that worked, another one that didn't. I found it interesting that the Death Star plans were actually stolen from the Geonosins. Lucas was hit and miss with his connections to the OT. Some were clever, others just kinda....dumb.
-
According to the novel of SW it is Force Healing.
Anakin did blow up the Trade Federation ship, but it was more of an accident. Anakin was kind of bumbling along in the battle like Jar Jar. -
But it was just too coincidental, Lucas was trying to hard to say "Hey look Anakin and Luke did the same things"
-
lost that arm in the battle with Obi Wan that left him "more man than machine"...
-
"He's more machine now than man, twisted and evil" Get it right next time. You get some slack because you are in intense pain. There will be no misquotations while I'm around mister!I do agree though, he should have lost it in the duel with Obi Wan.
-
I think there could be a cool additional scene to ROJ. After Luke leaves Dagobah, he decides to travel to Naboo to find out information about his mother.
-
Yea, he seemed to focused on his father, even before he knew about him being Vader. His mother did die giving birth, damn boy give mom some respect too.
-
Luke's Birth.
-
In the "Luke is just like his dad" area. I saw it more as an expected step in the story- the destruction of the threatening technological menace. It was also needed to show Anakin was a good pilot from a young age. I didn't like how accidental the destruction was, however.
-
I always assumed the idea was Palpatine's and the Geonosians were contracted to design it.
-
I always imagined it happened like Anakin was hanging off a cliff and Obi-Wan catches him and tries to help him up. Anakin tries a dirty trick and ignites his saber. Obi-Wan, in defense, cuts off Anakin's hand, leaving him to fall into the lava. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan now has Anakin's lightsaber, and a severed hand to take home to Luke.
-
There's a short story where Tarkin and some slavers (including Admiral Ackbar), were travelling back to the Death Star. They are attacked, and the Mon Cals transmit the battle station plans to the Rebels. There's an attack. Tarkin gets away but Ackbar and the Mon Cals are freed.
-
Never thought about it that way, but I agree with that assessment. The "accidental" destruction of it was just silly, just another Lucas pandering to the kids thing. He should have just made it that Anakin was a good pilot and had him blow up the ship from skill, not the way he did. You know, I hate that Lucas did so many things wrong in the PT, but for me he did get more right than he gets credit for. I think the PT's detractors concentrate so much on every little flaw that they fail to see the many good things. I have always felt that every PT film has classic SW moments in it. Sure, there were things I wanted to see and did not, there were things I would have liked to have been done differently.But the bottom line is I liked what I got and what I got was 3 new SW films, something I never though I would get to see. So I guess I am more forgiving of the PT's flaws, and honestly, I think that's a good thing. I don't want to be like these miserable fucks who constantly cry about their raped childhood and how bad the PT is. It is what it is, and I like it. Not nearly as good as the OT, but honestly, no matter how good or bad the PT came out, they would not have, and I don't think they could have measured up to the OT. Too high a bar set with the OT for it to be matched, and by the time the PT was made, Lucas was not the same man he was when the OT was made. Different man, different set of films, for better or for worse.Just my 2 cents.
-
Jedi Master Siphadeas/Darth Tyrannus/Count Dukoo subterfuge...Can anyone explain it to me?
-
Never understood the Prequel hate...It was FUCKIN' STAR WARS!!!and the effects were GORGEOUS!!!
-
That was one CRAZY night...
-
is that almost every action scene was tailor made for a video game...
-
I never thought of that thing with the DS plans. That scene in the war room on Geonosis made me think they were ripped off. They panic when they thinks the plans might be found, and Dooku conveniently offers to hold on to them for him. I guess the scene is kinda ambiguous, could be either I guess. They said "our plans for the ultimate weapon"...not "what we are building for you", that's what makes me think they were stolen. Oh who knows LOL.
-
SidoDias or something. In other words, very similar to Sidious, implying Palpatine did it. I think Mori said it in a script review long ago. Anyway, I believe it was Tyrannus who did it. The order came in ten years ago, the same time Qui-Gon died, the same time Dooku left the Jedi order. I saw a comic a few years ago that I skimmed through. It showed Master Syfo Dias was friends with Palpatine or Dooku (I really think it was Palpatine) and showed how Palpatine manipulated Syfo Dias into either making the Order, or into giving Palpatine what he needed to make the order himself. Then, Palpatine killed him. And I think he actually expressed some remorse about doing it, in a Machiavellian kind of way.
-
Lucas got more right then he gets credit for and it's a shame everyone is so miserable about it. They're still enjoyable films with lots of great stuff in then. Between the bad dialogue I mean.
-
The whole Sifo Dyas/Tyranus/Dooku thing.....(at least my perception of it). Somehow Jedi Master Sifo Dyas was tricked by Dooku into creating the clone army. Remember, Dooku was a Jedi and on the council I believe. Who killed Dyas I am not sure. I am thinking Dooku, who then became Darth Tyranus. Darth Maul was dead so he could have become a sith lord at that point as Palpatine had no apprentice. Dooku hid his sith lord status as to retain his influence with the jedi and to remove suspicion.
-
At least, the Geonosians and the Sith's plans. The idea of them getting ripped off is pretty funny, but the Geonosians have no need of a planet killing space station. Know what I mean?
-
Yea, def some bad dialogue in there. Some good though, and some touching moments as well as some good funny stuff. But yea, mostly not good, ranging from meh to awful. But like we have both said, they were good movies. At least he tried telling a story, something most films have forgotten how to do. Lucas never gets credit for that.
-
I'm gonna say you got that right, they really don't have a need for a planet killer. Good call bro.
-
Don't have them much these days. Then again, get me on a roll and I could talk for hours upon hours about SW.
-
Coruscant looks like a real place. The scene where Palpataine is in front of the window after Mace is thrown out is spectacular.
-
We have pretty much always seen eye to eye regarding the PT. I can remember before I was a PB'er, we ran across each other in various TB's, and when SW was the discussion, I recall us having similar opinions.
-
the more questions I have...Dukoo is the big mystery to me...Qui Gon was his Padawan, and Qui Gon posthumously figures out how to disappear when you die...Cause, they burned his carcass in episode uno...And, I love to talk SW for hours...
-
I like that they really showed the strong winds that would whip through buildings that high and that close together.
-
Agreed, they did Coruscant justice, it was as I had pictured it from the books.
-
Me and my cousin both got very emotional during that sequence. As much as I hated Windu buying it, you had to love the look on Palpatine's face after Anakin cut Windu's arm off...it was like he was saying "yea...that's right motherfucker", then the "unlimited power" line, some have said it was cheesy, fuck that it was flat out awesome. McDirmid was balls out awesome in ROTS. After 2 movies of holding it in, he just let it the fuck loose and it was fucking great.
-
The "unlimited power" part was great, definitely not cheesy. The "Nooo, no, YOU will die!" part though, that was a little clunky. But then, that wasn't great writing, as Windu never implied he was going to kill Palps. I hated seeing Windu bite it, but I liked how it happened. It was creative for Star Wars, ie, not another death by lightsaber.
-
I pictured the Clone Wars as more subtle, with clones replacing important leaders and and Jedi having to decide who was real and who was a clone...even as their own ranks were compromised...Then, it was revealed to be a much more standard cannon fodder invade and trample type of conflict...Over what? Trade routes..?
-
You chastise the decision Lucas made, but to me, your idea sounds like a standard Invasion of the Body Snatchers idea. And really, all wars have been about trade routes at their most basic. As Sean Penn said in The Thin Red Line, "The whole fucking thing's about property."
-
Too, true...
-
"Once more the Sith will rule the galaxy" Said with total menace, then in total calm..."and we will have ....peace"....just love that.My theory on the whole disappearing when you die thing is this...Yoda and Obi Wan knew it was their time, therefore they were prepared and their spirits released. Obi Wan went into the Death Star, knowing he would most likely die there, and when he was sneaking around the Death Star, he paused, got his saber out, and was ready, I think he knew then it was his time. Qui Gonn, in the heat of a duel, didn't have time to adequately prepare for death. Same with Vader. He did not disappear because he had just turned back from the dark side, hence no knowledge of preparing for one's death, so Luke gave him the funeral pyre.

-
He has learned the path from the netherworld, in other words, his ghost can communicate with the living. That is what Yoda said he will teach Obi Wan, how to commune with Qui Gonn.
-
apparently didn't exist before 3...Same with 'disappearing' upon death...

In the Universal Halloween Horror nights contest, like I was last year. That's okay, though. This year's entries are on a whole much better than last year's, I believe. But there are a few of this year's finalists who I think are weaker than my entry was. Ah well. Top Ten entries are here: http://www.halloweenhorrornights.com/hollywood/film_contest.php Jaspar, The Marksman, Trick, and WInter Stalker are my favorites. Parasite and The Widower is a bit weak. Suffering in Ecstasy is an example of the power of editing and sound mixing- but that's all. Hazards is allright. Mister Wednesday's Playground is humorous, but the ending is both frightening and confusing (and kind of dumb) at the same time. Love Me Tender is cute. Thoughts?
-
Darth Vader. And then Vader goes off and kills the Jedi in the temple. Just a great scene. ROTS is so powerful.
-
and who gets mowed down by the Clones is none other than Lucas' kid Jett.
-
Is fucking AWESOME. Once Windu is dead and he starts making Anakin a Sith, his voice gets all deep and supernatural like; just completely evil. But it doesn't stay in one evil sounding voice. Sometimes it sounds like its obviously being modulated by a computer. Other times, it sounds like he's really changing his voice on the fly. Its a shifting, serpentine sounding thing. Then, it suddenly changes back to the Sidious voice we know with the crawling "Onnnnnce more the Sith will ruuuuule the galaxy!" And then it goes back to Palpatine the Pal voice, tender and sincere- "And we shall... have... peace." Cue the smile. Cue the applause. You almost believe that's what he really wants. I was sold, honestly. I said "Huh... never thought of that before."
-
In the comics, he actually appears to Yoda and talks to him I think. We were given hints of this in Episode II when Anakin kills the Tuskens and while meditating, Yoda hears Qui-Gon reaching out shouting "Anakin! Anakin! No!" even though the "No" sounds like someone else, like a Tusken Raider.
-
I'm well. Thanks for asking. Yourself? Glad to see the PB's are still going strong. I still frequent AICN regularly. But after over ten years of conversing here and more than 15 online I finally realized the arguments and insults just don't mean anything to me any more. Pulled back from posting pretty much everywhere. I still read everything that looks interesting, though.

Reason Ben and Yoda were there:

I'm getting home. No big surprises today except the Jax State/Ole Miss upset. Roll f'in Tide. Repeat baby! Y'know fellas, I realy, honestly wanted more than anything to enjoy the SW prequels. I swear I did. But....they just didn't do it. Anakin never came off as a 'good' person AT ALL. Constant whining and total immaturity. He was heading straight for the dark side from the get-go. Never got the impression that he and Obi Wan were 'good friends' or ANYTHING. Anakin was a selfish, pueling brat for 2 1/2 movies, then a murdering bastard for the other half. Just....disappointed overall. And, IMO, the connections made were ham-fisted and clumsy. Nothing elegant at ALL. And how, exacly, did Boba Fett EVER have time to learn anything from Jengo? He was taken in, Jengo was beheaded. Almost IMMEDIATELY. The Jedi order was a bunch of tight-assed, totally DETACHED douches. Why would you want to be one? Just one miscalcuation after another to me. I'm really glad you fellas found things to enjoy. I mean it. I just....was left feeling let down. That's why they will never exist to me. My back-story is better. I felt Lucas should have started with Anakin already under tutelage, a good Jedi warrior, just a bit proud of his own prowess. A guy you could have a beer with...just a bit too full of himself. Not a kid that would never grow up beyond "What about ME??"

Yeah, I'm sorta lit a little. Vodka + Diet Mt Dew (they mix well! I promise!). I understand Jango had him since he was a baby, but he was what...8, 9? C'mon! How many bad-ass skills have any of us retained from that age? Like I said, I'm glad some folks found things to enyoy in the prequels. I really wish I did. It was almost as if Lucas was trying TOO HARD to tie EVERYTHING together. And I never felt Anankin/Padme had ANY connection except for his creepy manboy crush. Ah, better let it go. I tend to get worked up into a frothy frenzy thinking about all the missteps that I feel are there. Anyway, I really need to get to sleeping it off. Otherwise, I'll go on a rant I'll regret. Peace my good man.
-
Been a long 3 weeks of work and on my dayoff today, I have to go hiking with my gf and her family. I'm beat! And getting lit :). I'll try vodka and Mtn Dew. I don't drink soda often, but I had some Dew today after not having it for a lonnng time, and DAMN was it good. I'll take your advice and add some vodka next time. Night Fuzz!
-
I can't even lay on my back without the ribs stabbin' me...I need to drink a few more cans and smoke a few more bowls...
-
were working together to Padme, but Jango had to kill Zam when she was captured by the Jedi.

Can in interest you in some Flintstones chewable morphine?
-
YES, YOU CAN...This fuckin' really sucks...

We need to get you to a hospital... oh man, that's a hilarious Space Ghost reference. Look up the episode with Bustah Rhymes called "Flipnode". It's funny as fuck. Course, I don't want you to laugh too hard and hurt your ribs, but maaaaan... "We need to get you to a hospital!"
-
Just two Tecates left in the fridge, been drinking scorch tonight. I just made a Gatorade and vodka for some reason. What the hell. Anyway, I could use some beer. But I'm broke. Overdrafted for the first time EVER. I'm many paychecks behind but I feel like an idiot. I've never not had cash in my checking account. I really feel terrible about it.
-
I spent enough time in those things when I was serious hurt...A few cracked riblets ain't gonna slow me down..."Punk ass weak-ass ribs...the shins held up with out complaining...pussies"
-
Ive never turned off a movie without seeing it to the end (except Flyboys) so I'm loathe to do it now so close to the end. I could still learn something from this shitty movie, but holy hell this is fucking bad. At least the women are hot and the music is rocking. But the zombies have oatmeal on their faces and eyes PAINTED on the oatmeal. And the camera is ALWAYS static. No long takes. No dolly moves. Just point and shoot. And Aliens is on right now followed by Robocop. And I'm watching this shit.
-
One of the funniest fucking Space Ghosts ever, though it took me many viewings to appreciate all the jokes bc many are so subtle and fast. AND it's centered around getting high off illicit fumes!
-
Plus, I have overdrafted my account more times than I have the capacity to recall. Banks love that shit. They rake in the fees...
-
Bc Gatorade and vodka Isn't that great. Kinda bland. I'm sure rum would name it sweeter.
-
Bc Gatorade and vodka Isn't that great. Kinda bland. I'm sure rum would make it sweeter. Damn the auto correct.

I owe 35 bucks and I have a $70 check out in the ether that I hope won't be cashed before I can deposit a check Tuesday am. Fucking shit. Seriously, I've never been like this before. I just feel... Bad and stupid and panicked about it.
-
it's just paper...
-
that's exactly what the Federal Reserve is counting on...
-
What's the reserve have to do with it? It just makes me feel bad bc it means I've been losing more money than I've been making. And honestly, I blame moving in with the gf. Bah. Anyway, I've been working a lot lately. If the paychecks came in earlier, it'd be okay.

including WHEN you get paid...I just really hate those guys..

Another beautiful day here on LI, just like yesterday, sunshine and a nice cool breeze. I hope the heat that was here last week is finally gone, so tired of sweating as soon as I walk out the door.Not sure what I'll be watching today but will keep you fools updated. Once again am going to try and squeeze in at least one movie I have not seen. Didn't do that yesterday though. Cheeses, hope you are feeling a bit better today bro.

Oh do I know too well where your coming from with your money situation. I hate being broke, there really is nothing worse.

It was pretty cool. Could have done without naked Lohan, but whaddyagonnado?

He did much better that time around, but he still let some bad takes slip through, and left some horrible dialogue in the script. John Williams, on the other hand, was delivering gold at every turn.

I can't believe I'm even saying anything about this...
by scarywaitress
...because it's been beaten to a bloody, dessicated pulp already, but... Fuzzy, I'm with you. I am willing to forgive a LOT in an action/sci-fi flick, ESPECIALLY if it's SW... EXCEPT LAZY-ASS STORYTELLING. The ham-fisted, written-for-3-year-olds bullshit in PT is unforgivable, truly. When Liam Neeson sits down, tests Anakin kid's blood, and explains that he's the Chosen One because his BLOOD TEST PROVES IT, it's all about the mitocholiradinians (or whatever the fuck they are) I wanted to rip the fucking movie screen in half. What. A load. Of shit. It STILL hurts, George. IT STILL HURTS.

I'm talking about my FUCKING RIBS!!!!AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!!

Cracked ribs hurt no matter how old you are, Scary...
by cheeses_of_nazareth
-
Blurf. Just dropping in to say hi. On the way to Queens. Keep prequeling that chicken.
-
Maybe you should take a trek to the ole ER.Being the SW defender that I am, I have to say...at first Qui Gonn is not sure what Anakin's high midichlorian count means, he does not immedeately conclude that Anakin is the chosen one. Just sayin. I have always maintained that Lucas pandered too much to kids in the PT, but he slowly went away from that after Episode I. I also never was afan of the midichlorian thing either, but it is what it is. Why he felt like there had to be some kind of explanation about Jedis and the force I don't know, just more of his pandering to the younger audience I suppose.
-
Enjoy the day bro, it's a nice one!
-
I think what pissed me off the most was that in the original trilogy it was implied that anyone could be strong in the force with proper training. Then in the Prequels it turns out you ave to be born with it, which just smacks of elitism...
-
I don't think it has to do with being born with it, I was watching Episode I earlier and Qui Gonn states that midichlorians reside in ALL living cells, not just Jedis. So I am thinking the higher concentration of mc's in your system, the more adept you will be at mastering Jedi skills.Again, I don't like the whole mc thing, but like it or not its part of SW mythos now, so I reluctantly accept it.
-
Fuck off douche boy. You're a fucking nerd to, cause thats all you do is hang around with us, making you actually a bigger loser.CHOPPED dickface
-
Not everyone can be trained in the force If that was true, why need Luke?
-
Watching Predator on SyFy and the famous line was just yelled!!!
-
in the parts where he is covered in mud at night...
-
been a sorta busy/sorta lazy day. Got up this morn, washed the car, did the laundry. Then....sat outside under a tree and read a bood for about 3 hours. Then to the grocery to get some ribs & pork chops to grill tomorrow. Now, just poppin' in to say howdy. Howdy! Scary, you are indeed a geek queen first class. The hurdles of distance, marriage vows, and children of your own may keep us apart, but you are first in my heart. You truly understand. Ya'll keep the fires burnin', I'm off to get hip deep in some more readin'. This laptop is the first bit of technology I've turned on today. Back later my faceless friends of the ether!
-
sorry about your rib troubles my good man. I haven't ever experienced that sort of discomfort, but I'm hoping you get to feeling better soon. And by 'bood', I of course meant 'book'.
-
they feel better now than they did when I got up...still tender to the touch and hurts when I cough, and stand or sit....
-
It's a GOOOOD night!

Likewise!

Just finished my second book of the last 3 days. Lansdale, of course. The man is just so easy to read. You're welcome Scary. Flicka is indeed a fortunate man. Here's hoping everyone has a good day tomorrow, working or not (but especially anyone unfortunate enough to have to work on a holiday, I feel your pain). Eat well, enjoy any company you may have, and see you again soon. Peace!

Delivers everything it claims plus Lindsey Lohans jugs. I just wish they had left DeNiro a little dignity. I don't know what he was thinking when he took this role, prolly, I'll get to see Lindsey Lohans tits. Pair this with Black Dynamite to get Grindhouse 2. 3.5/5
-
it rained and it was windy but we had a good time anyway. She always knows how to make a bad day better.
-
Gonna need to get out to see Machete this week. Gots to. Good friend of mine saw THE AMERICAN, said it was BOOOOORING. I said "Deliberately paced?" She said BOOOOOORING. And I tend to trust her filmatastic tastes. We'll see. On video. Hope everyone has a great Labor Day, especially if you gotta work. Bummer. I'm gonna sample a little more vitriol in the Macheteback. Nothing brings out the best in geek culture like politics.
-
Headin' up to san francisco
For the labor day weekend show
I got my hush puppies on
I guess I was never meant for glitter and rock 'n' roll
And honey I didn't know I'd be missing you so
Come Monday it'll be alright
Come Monday I'll be holding you tight
Favorite Jimmy Buffet song and nice way to start Labor Day. -
but I got a soft spot for "The Stars Fell on Alabama". But "Come Monday" is definitely a winner. I spent 4 lonely days in a brown L.A. haze Now I just want you back by my side.
-
put me in the mood for music. Open the windows, let the air in, the sun is out and the stereo is playing. Just enjoying life.
Still gonna check American out, sexy liked it so I'll give it a shot. Course will see Machete too. Talk about opposite extremes of movies. -
Man, we really slipped down the list. Guess we Pedalbackers had a productive holiday weekend away from the fray that is AICN. Holy shit, that MACHETEback is stomach churning at times.
-
Alas. Oh well, it's laundry day. Once I finish my coffee I'm out of here.

day three of little to no sleep. still can't lie down on my back and breath at the same time. Tried to sleep in my recliner but that was even worse.Ribs seem a slight bit better today, but still hurt like hell. Web sites I visited tell me to expect this for several weeks to a month...AAAARRRRGGHHH!
-
Wow. Have you turned that cat into Moo Shu Pork yet?
-
as much as I'd like to. I knew better than to blindly bound up the stairs in the dark with three cats in the house.
-
Happened in a parking lot with a shopping cart. Tripped and caught my left wrist between pavement, handlebar and weight of my body. Hurt for a full month before pain completely disappeared.
-
...pain should be over in a week or so...Enjoy it while you can...there'll be no cracked ribs in hell!
-
Sep 06, 2010 10:47:52 AM CDT
The pain is the worst first thing after I get out of bed...
by cheeses_of_nazareth
stiffness and screaming pain greet me as soon as I wake up. Then the pain gradually resides as I get up and move around. Advil seems to help a lot. By the time I went to bed last night (with 15 beers in me) I felt pretty good. The I tried to lay on my back and literally could not breath it hurt so bad. The only comfortable position I can find is to lie on my right side with a pillow between my knees. But, I tend to roll around a lot in my sleep, and as soon as I do, I am woken up by the intense pain.
-
Homer says: hmmmm, smoked ribs
-
I would think they would make it a point to crack ALL your ribs before admittance to Hell...You know, just to get you acclimated.
-
maybe it will hold you in the same position? Also, if you got anything to help with the pain- anything prescribed- I would shoot for sleeping aids. ESPECIALLY if the Advil is working during the day.
-
I don't like the sound of that. That is gonna slow up the deep inhalation of potentially helpful herbs.
-
Inhaling is not an option, he needs to heal up. Besides, chocolate would improve his mood...
-
If i get the quote right, I believe it was, "The most boringest movie ever."
-
I have no access to herbal goodness myself... but a good brownie ain't so bad all by itself...
-
Trying to play catchup.
Hope you are feeling better Cheeses. One question. I saw your post about how the Fed regulates how/when we get our paychecks. Care to elaborate? -
Brownies are always nice. I can still inhale perfectly fine as long as I am sitting upright, so no worries there. Mac, glad to hear you got to spend the weekend with Mary Jane...I do love that girl...
-
I always enjoyed the ritual that goes with smoking. Eating it never really appealed to me. Seems like a lot more work and waaaaay less cool. I can't blow a smoke ring with a brownie. I always preferred the old gravity. A bucket and a 3 liter soda bottle. BOO YAH!

SHERLOCK HOLMES
RDJ and Jude Law make a great duo, but the Rachel McAdams subplot felt tacked on and goofy, trying to introduce Moriarity for the sequel.
Overall, not too bad and kinda fun.

STLost, the Federal Reserve is a very evil, Constitutionally ill
by cheeses_of_nazareth
central bank run by certain extremely wealthy families. It is NOT a part of the US Government any more than Federal Express is the US postal system. It controls interest rates and fixes markets like Marseles fixes fights in Pulp Fiction to continually boom and burst.No one does business in the US without its stamp of approval. Thus no one gets a paycheck unless the Fed wills it.
-
while I agree that the Federal Reserve is something that we should overhaul or completely do away with, I just can't see how it can stop private business from sending out paychecks.
-
Sep 06, 2010 11:33:06 AM CDT
Probably not, STL...I was most likely drunk and high...

That's messed up. It's a federal holiday!
-
That needed to be done locally? Either way they're making some serious money (Unecessarially).
-
Ok, you know those computer chips they want you to put in dogs and cats for "ID" purposes? Wrong!! Really gov't plan to monitor the activities of us
Uh huh. These chips are able to listen to what you say and see what the cat see's. There are certain actions or words that trigger a reaction in the chip that alerts the gov't monitoring agency. Depending on what you say or do affecting the response.
Example: you're talking bad about the fed, BOOM! "accident" caused by the cat.
Be careful my friend. Be careful. -
Gone sep ways after a few months..man they can't hold onto bassists.
-
Been a busy day, gotta get the house cleaned up for next Saturday, having a small gathering for my birthday.Cheeses, hope you start feeling better fast bro, I can't imagine the pain....well I have has kidney stones, so I do know what intense searing pain feels like.
-
The Crazies (2010)Starts off right away, no delay in getting into what's going on, I liked that a lot, and still you cared about the characters, for the most part. Well paced, no dull moments. The only thing that I didn't like was that it was a wee bit predictable at times, and the ending, while not terrible, could have been a bit better. But for the most part it was very enjoyable and the last shot before the credits did make my jaw drop a bit. Timothy Olyphant keeps getting better IMO.3 1/2 out of 5
-
Didn't know Olyphant was in it.
Your BD is coming up so soon? Wow, that makes you a virgo.
Virgo Traits:
Modest and shy
Meticulous and reliable
Practical and diligent
Intelligent and analytical
Your dark side is:
Fussy and a worrier
Overcritical and harsh
Perfectionist and conservative
Does that describe you? -
Belly full of seared animal flesh? Yes. Nephew taken to feed apple to donkey? Yes. Alcohol consumption begun? Hell yes. I have also been laboriously digitizing my CD collection onto the new laptop. A time-consuming process, fer demm sherr. But worth it in the long run. Hope everyone has had a great day (or as good as can be expected given injuries/jobs)! As Jerry Lewis said: KEEP PLEDGIN' THAT CHICKEN!
-
There going crazy on Machete and Trak posts now (Big surprise).
But earlier on Machete some of us had some Bill and Hillary fun.
Came up with new rule: WWBD?
What would Bill Do? -
Came to work despite having nothing to receive.
Rogueman, thanks for the Crazies review. I just saw the original a year or two ago and was wondering how the remake panned out. Going on the queue for sure now! -
Been a good day, a good couple of days, the lone exception being that Mrs Rogue has had to work nights since last Friday which sucks ass. Drink up my bro, have one for me!leo, yes, my birthday is this Wednesday, and I am indeed a Virgo. As far as those traits...Modest and shy - modest, not always, shy? hardlyMeticulous and reliable -meticulous, most of the time....reliable....ehhhh I try to bePractical and diligent - practical...again, I try to be... diligent...not as much as I should beIntelligent and analytical - intelligent...I think I am...analytical...yes I tend to be.Now for those dark side traits.....Fussy and a worrier - yea I can be fussy sometimes, and I probably don't worry as much as I could but I don't see that as bad.Overcritical and harsh - overcritical...sometimes, but not as much as others think...harsh....only when it comes to my ex, who deserves it. I can be harsh with Mrs Rogue in an argument, but it is not deserved and it's usually stuff said in anger.Perfectionist and conservative - perfectionist...hmmmm i'll say no, but it depends on the situation...conservative...no.Time to get dinner going...pasta with turkey tenderloin and peas mixed with alfredo sauce. Yum :)
-
You are quite welcome my friend, I am gonna keep posting mini reviews of new stuff I watch to help out my fellow pebrews.OMFG, that damn Trek back. I don't know why I keep letting myself get sucked into that ridiculous fucking bullshit. It is literally the same things being said by the same people, with the same results. Utterly and totally pointless.
-
But that is the nature of AICN in a nutshell: Argue, argue, argue, repeat. It's basically how Harry keeps his site running, I'd imagine.
-
Supper sounds delish Rogue. Me, its leftover pizza from work and a Mickey D side salad with a cold MGD 64 beer.
-
That most of those traits apply to me as well. I'm not a neat freak by any stretch of the imagination, but I am known to be meticulous about certain things. And I'm only overcritical, fussy and harsh on myself, most of the time. Hey, there might be a reason that astrology has been around so long!
-
Like you said Rogue: same shit, same players, same result
-
I'm thinking 7-11 hot dogs here in a minute, then some Wendy's when I take off from work. Followed by beer. Or malt liquor, probably, as I am REALLY poor this week. Too many nights out at the bar for one paycheck, alas...
-
So did you give him his first beer? Remember stuff like that is what uncles are for.
-
Malt liquor in a pinch never failed me yet.
-
It really is the same stuff. Same characters. Same arguments. Same results. ie--nothing changes. Leo...I like to think I'm that cool uncle, but my nephews are 3, 2, and 1 year old, so no beer yet. I did teach him the Hot Dog Dance from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which acts as an appropriate stand-in at his age. Don't worry, when they get older, the coolness will age appropriately. My brothers are a teacher & a youth minister. I am DEFINITELY the 'wordly-wise' brother. They won't know what hit 'em, the little crack-monkeys.
-
I'm so psyched for this one. Bring it on, Natalie Portman/Mila Kunis sex scene and all!
-
But, other than the WRESTLER, what Aronofsky movie hasn't?
-
Don't wanna get sucked in. Don't wanna hear the same lame-brained arguements. Don't wanna read ANYthing posted by RPLocke.
-
Cooking breakfast for my girlfriend. Playing Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Buying beer for my gf. Drinking lots of beer. Now watching Reservoir Dogs while waiting on pizza to be delivered.
-
Say, that reminds me. I DVR'd REQUIEM FOR A DREAM last night. Need to get around to watchin it. Only Aronofsky joint I haven't seen. I'm one of those that really, really loved THE FOUNTAIN, and THE WRESTLER was verra good as well. I've only seen PI once, way back when, but it was a better start IMO than ERASERHEAD.
-
I mean, come on, that's *good* strangeness there.
-
Slug baby thing. Dis-tuuuurrr-bing.
-
I read that script back in 2004. I'm glad it ended up with Jackman and Weiz instead of Pitt and Blanchett (though I do prefer Blanchett to Weiz).
-
There are only two R rated movies I think should actually be shown in high school to teenagers to prepare them for real life. One is American History X. The other is Requiem For a Dream. Show them that racism is evil and destructive, in all facets, and that drugs may seem like fun in the beginning (bc it does in Requiem), but then it turns deadly with in your face results.
-
The first movie that ever totally transported me to another reality. Skinned rabbits and all. And I wasn't even stoned (rite of passage for that flick)! I love Lynch. In terms of filmmaking, I sort of can't believe he's American (no offence to my Peebs, I mean he has basically an European sensibility for film). Or "not Hollywood" might be more accurate.
In Heaven, everything is fine
In Heaven, everything is fine
In Heaven, everything is fine
You've got your good thing, and I've got mine... -
They turn to us for all the good stuff Mom'n'Dad don't tell them.
My niece, who's about 6 told me a secret. Apparently Dad got mad at her and in her words "threw a fit". So, she did what mommy does to her when she's angry: crossed her arms, looked him in the eye and said
Someone needs a timeout -
I mean, she is just really sexy to me. THAT SAID, I think that Weisz has a more...I dunno....accesssible air about her than Blanchett. Blanchett could have handled the regality of the Queen, but I felt Weisz played Izzy a lot more sweet than Blanchett would have.
-
Cool, I love the design in that game. And some of the best cel-shading ever. The colours really were like film cels.
-
Plus Thursday night football!! Thats not a bad week at all for you sir.
-
When I first saw the new design for this Gamecube Zelda- after we were first shown something more realistic- I was pissed. But then I started playing the game, and man is it beautiful. A LOT of great designs in this game. I love it.
-
And you're right, she does seem a bit inaccessible, bc she IS so damn beautiful. But still, I prefer her to Weiz.
-

It's a bunch of stupid bullshit, and it hurts my brain to type the same shit over and over and over.Dinner is in the oven, decided to bake it, always seems to give stuff a good flavor, also gonna have some texas toast garlic bread with it.
-
being an uncle is awesome. It's a lot of work right now, 'cause they're all just getting really mobile, and they're all still young enough that they MUST BE WATCHED AT ALL TIMES. But I'm looking forward to the Jedi master/padawan bit yet to come.
-
He is her constant(ine).
-
REQUIEM is one of the most frightening horror films I've ever seen, and that is no joke.
Vades, I've long felt the same way, that REQUIEM should be shown to high school kids. I woulda been scared right the FUCK straight if I'd seen that in high school. -
Can you overnight me some? So, I decided to pay a little more and eat healthy, so now I'm eating Carnitas over rice, Collard Greens with ham & onions, and a nice salad. Having a Whole Foods right across the street is a help to my body, but a hurtin' on my wallet.
-
I need to see Requiem, I have heard so much about it, I will put it high on the list.
-
Don't do any hard drugs before you watch REQUIEM, or you may freak out. And as an example of what I mean by hard drugs: Aspirin.
-
I'm getting nothing this week, comics-wise. How shall I ever entertain myself?
-
Climbing, crawling, grabbing, running, laughing. they're like "Hey, check me out!! Don't know what I'm doing but its fun!!"
You can't help but laugh with them and feel young again. Ahhh, its good to be an uncle. -
It kind of sticks in my craw that one of my little brothers will probably end up being a father before I will, tho. I wonder why that is. Sibling rivalry, I guess?
-
-Cinderella, from fabletown with love
-Black Panther
-Zatanna
-Black Widow
-Nick Fury, Secret Warriors
-Hulk (most of the time)
TPB to get Ted is Black Panther: Bad Mutha. Teams with Luke Cage to take on vampires in NO after Katrina, goes looking for a bride and Fu Manch offers daughters hand in marriage. Don't turn down Fu, he doesn't like it. Great writing and art. PS he uses Monica Rambieu in a way that should have done years ago to deal with the vampire threat in the marvel universe. -
I think its just something ingrained on us to be competitive especially with those of the same gender.
Its like the drive to procreate that every species has. Its a survival instinct. Just like every woman you meet, your brain makes a snap decision whether she's mating material. If she's not, you either get no response or if she really turns you off, your brain'll tell you. If someone catches your eye, well, you know the response. You want to take a moment longer to watch or even approach her. -
Seriously dude, you are screwed in the head. One second you talk like a human being, the next like your usual douche bag self. Forget to take your meds or something?
-
Hulk (My other fave BB, Brucie boy)
Avengers Academy
Thunderbolts
Hawkeye & Mockingbird
Black Widow
Secret Six
Jeez, I think that's it. I really HAVE cut down... -
My favorite was always
'What if THE_CHOPPAH was actually funny?' Loved that one. Followed by 'What if THE_CHOPPAH got a fucking life already?' That was a good one too. -
I like the new avengers but $4 an issue, its a WTF marvel?
Like how Luke says all his life he's been knocking down baddies but they always get up. This time he's gonna be the one helping them up. Just wish art would improve. Love Johnny Walker as the warden. Great choice. -
It was like 40 pages long and I read and read and read that sucker over til it got taken away from me.
Other comic I got that day was DCs Super Team Family 7#. Cover had the Challengers of the Unknown facing off against a T-Rex. Talk about 3d grade nirvana.
For some reason June Robbins in that low cut purple leotard showing her amples bosoms held my attention. Strange. -
I wasn't gonna get this new iteration of T-Bolts, and I have every issue up until now. But the team, the art, and the x-over with Avengers Academy pulled me in and I'm loving it. The art is unconventional, sure, but I dig it. And how about Walker in that last issue, during the riot? Fucking awesome. Actually, the coolest thing I've ever seen the USAgent ever do...
-
One of the comics that got me collecting was 'What If The Marvel Super Heroes Lost Atlantis Attacks'. Man, that comic had death comin' out the ying-yang. Totally hooked me into Marvel for years.
-
Just wanted to make that distinction...but the deaths DID have me reading What If until it was cancelled.
-
I'm good friends with the girl who has been painting the covers for that mini series.
-
With use of blank backgrounds, interesting colors, action flow but the women! Nope, sorry just doesn't work. Moonstone looks like a drugged out, breast enhanced hooker. Songbirds hair, ehhh.
By the way, Johnny Walker is now an interesting character. He was during developed nicely seige but now, he's right up there with Steve. That prison break scene - wow. -
And I hope this work on Cinderella leads to more work and recognition. Both fan and professional.
-
that Hitler basketball thing lead me on an instant segue from isn't Hitler a bit short for Basketball to a one panel Star Wars mashup where Hitler finds himself in the ironic position of being asked, "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"
-
Kev Walker can't seem to get a handle on drawing women, at all. Like I said, I've been reading T-Bolts since #1 (The logo will be my next tattoo, even), and this is by far the worst rendition of both Songbird & Moonstone I've seen yet.

Off to Wendy's for Baked Potato & Chili. Have a good 'un...

Well there you go! I liked it (if that's the term) well enough, but it was still so Hollywood to me. I did see it long after most, so the hype probably got to me I guess, because I was expecting something really raw and harsh and I got Flashy refrigerator freakouts and Beautiful model-like people and hypocritical drug angst. Maybe if the leads were supposed to be actors or models I would have gone for it, but it was more like heroin chic rather than actual junkies to me. It just seemed that it had a very standard structure which served to dramatise the events in such a way that they were sort of unintentionally sensationalised. Certainly the end bit was no worse than most gonzo hardcore. Coulda been the music too. Maybe I should give it another go.
I can't think of something else I'd point to as much more authentic at the moment, but I'm sure I've seen worse/more honest. Or maybe that's just in real life...
-
That was just textbook comic art. Combined with old school comic writing by Busiek made Thunderbolts an excellent read.
When Hawkeye joined and started to realize how much CA influenced him was a nice touch. Plus, techno's bluish machine look is still my favorite. -
Vader, nice to meetcha and look forward to chatting with you in the future.
-
I saw a fantastic Disney Alice in Wonderland tat. I know, that sounds awful, but it was all over the back and both arms, completely on model and the characters sat really well in the background and colours were great. Pretty kewl. Especially that the chick went full-on like that.
-
If you meant me and not D.Vades. Most here call me 'Nilla. On account of my eponymous shade.
Or maybe my boring personality - do you fellas say "plain vanilla" as a put-down? We also add to white bread with "white bread Vegemite", as that's about as standard as things get here. -
And goodnight leo and Ted!
-
...FOR OLD MEN. This oughtta be interesting...
-
Good luck Flick.
-
Always wanted to see a female perspective on No Country. I was gonna watch a movie tonight, but just decided to put on Family Guy and chill on the PC for a while.
-
I've conversed with Leo here before in the past; I swear I have... maybe not?
-
Don't worry, I'm sure he loves us both equally.
-
Family Guy will do it (snark intentional, but good-natured snark)!

Youtube. ESPN Ole Miss Star Wars Commercial. GOLD! The Ole Miss Rebels have not had an on-field mascot the last few years due to P.C. bullshit, so some students actually tried to get a certain Star Wars character as the new mascot. This commercial is AWESOME.

Been a great 3 day weekend, time to go back to work! Talk to everyone tomorrow.

Just getting home from work...Most of the day was okay, but the last 3 hours my ribs have been howling...Gotta play ketchup...

Hi Cheesy, take it easy.

Cheesey you ratbag! No, no holidays for me. Working for yourself generally means they don't exist. Regardless of the country.
For some reason our state has Fathers' day way after everyone else, so I had a good Sunday anyway. Apparently Daddy's favourite animal is a big fuckoff Funnelweb spider (from the drawings on the handmade cards anyway). What about my beagle? -
Moose...that guy makes me feel...guilty for some reason. Like maybe I shouldn't laugh. Oh. Wait. I should. Bwa-ha-ha-haaaaaa!!!

It's a trap!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS. Ended 10 minutes ago. Mezmerizing. This meditation on the nature of good and evil, chance and choice, set a steady pace toward a painfully inevitable end that you saw coming from the second the first dead drugrunner showed up on screen. You KNOW what the end is going to be... and you can't stop watching. A lot has been said of Javier Bardem in this role... and it was all an understatement. This was a quietly executed masterpiece. Tommy Lee Jones... played Tommy Lee Jones. Cast this man in the right movie, and it's like a drink of fresh clear mountain water when you're really, really thirsty (which is why I love him so.) Without his presence this movie might have been unbearable. THE SCORE WAS BRILLIANT. I didn't consciously realize that there wasn't one, until the scene where a couple of trucks drove over a little grate in the desert, and it sounded all the world to me like the guitar riff in Radiohead's "Creep"... I thought to myself, "THAT is a fucking brilliant score... just a tiny little guitar riff here and there, for effect? BRILLIANT!!!!" And then I realized it was an ambient sound in the filming. And then I realized THERE WAS NO SCORE. Beyond brilliant. Final note: I had put off seeing this for a long time... I'm (speaking just for myself) going through a bit of a rough patch lately, and two hours of violence and death that isn't an out-and-out escapist action flick like KickAss sounded like two hours I was going to need to recover from with some yoga and a few shots of vodka... I was incorrect, I'm happy to say. Beautifully filmed, with stirring and subtle performances all around, this was a rumination on the nature of life I wasn't quite expecting, even from the Coen Bros. Bravo. The only false note for me was Woody's cameo... and not because he wasn't really good, but because for some reason his presence snapped me out of the mood of the rest of the film. It might just be a personal thing... not sure yet. ★★★★★

Viggo, for me, means a movie I will probably need therapy after. The man likes him some dark-ass shit. Seriously... he's worse than Eccleston, who I KNOW has zero sense of humor. Zero.
-
whenever I type your name, I think of 'Nilla wafers, and how yummy they are. So, not boring vanilla... tasty and crisp... Apparently, though, I'm not living up to my own handle. Some newbies are asking why the "Scary"... seems the PB has made me soft... this could be a problem.

Scary, I recently watched a little of NCFOM again...
by cheeses_of_nazareth
and I didn't recognize that there was no music in it until you said it. I really loved the movie, right up until it ended. But, if you saw that ending coming? Cool...But, I was expecting evil people to die...I'm comfortable with that expectation in my movies...

Welp...

I always wanted to call somebody that. Especially since I can't ever utter the other word in any socially acceptable context that I can imagine...You, know, the word, the opposite of Whitey...

We know the truth!
Bonsoir, as my little girl would said when we were all saying our plain vanilla goodbyes the other day (yes, this is the one with brain damage!)... -
the Sly & the Family Stone song, Don't call me Nigga, Whitey. I think when quoting I can safely use that word. It's in context. I don't think we have any black brothers in to give us the good oil there...
But yeah, my skin's about as white as it gets, being of Irish and Polish descent!
Of course the best Sly Stone title ever is Thank You (fallettinme be mice elf agin). -
Geddit?
Awesome pic though Moose. It looks like the guy behind is calling the cops on him! -
that the autistic guy is using a technological mechanism to be social. And ironic about being unaware of the social limits when it comes to wearing a bro.
Could be worse, could be Tronguy. Or any "normally functioning" dude on chatroulette... yeesh! -
agin.

the poster boy for SPF 5000...My hair and beard are white...People called my Grandfather Whitey, because of his full head of stark white, bleach blonde hair.

unsuited to life on this planet? (Sunglasses and shoes? Please...) Yet still impose its unbreakable will over the entire Western part of it?

I mean it is actually gay...gay acting commentators and guests...it's called Red Eye.I have been around gay Republicans before, and they are the only ones who would invite Dennis Miller to debate Global Warming and just being gay...Also Avatar and Cameron...Wow...
-
and I have seen actual gay porn (On the Discovery Channel...)...All this ON FOX NEWS!!!! Right after Glenn Beck!!!!
-
Oh. Uh, maybe not...
-
I always say to my wife whenever she puts her bag-arse sunnies on, how can it be that every other animal on the planet has eyes that have adapted to the conditions, but us stupid humans can't get a decent pupil or evolve an efficient ocular system to withstand general conditions...
And what's with the gayness? I thought Disney owned ABC and therefore are the gayest network of all...
Will they rename it FOXY news? Huh? Can I get a rimshot? Oh. Sorry, never mind, strike that. -
not bag. Jeez.

That's the best start to a day I've had in a looooong time.

Isn't it time for a BAMF?
