  1. I found some GameShark codes for the game, but it doesn't say which version of the device they used. Scroll all the way down for the codes.
  2. Somehow I can see a wrestler using that line.
  3. This was the part that got me.
  4. Scroll down for a picture of the child's leg. (source) Look at that thigh muscle! This is without a doubt amazing!

  6. I'm not so well versed in the Friday the 13th films, so I can't really comment on that. (I've seen maybe half of them.) All I remember is that Jason would kill a lot more people than Freddy. I wish the people who voted for part 2 and FvJ would chime in.
  7. You're right! It's been quite a while since I've seen that one.
  8. Exactly. And that's my problem. The first film brought so much to the table. This idea that you were helpless while asleep (as far as I know) had never been tackled in American cinema before. Until then it was always about the monster/madman tirelessly chasing you in the real world. Plus, s/he was someone who could be killed. Freddy could be defeated but never killed, because, as we later learned, he was already dead. Fresh ideas like that will always draw an audience in because they want to see the impossible come to life. They want to see the hero overcome such impossible odds. Also, the gore and outlandish deaths were novel in their day: from Tina being thrown around the room, to Johnny Depp being sucked into the bed and blasted out as buckets of blood. That shit was nasty (and cool)! As for the third film, it started the ball rolling on the whole superpowers thing. Granted, it would become contrived and quite stupid in later films, but, again, this was a new idea and almost felt like Freddy's Kryptonite. (Finally the kids had a way to combat their tormentor.) Plus, Freddy's humor was really coming into its own here, and the gore was stepped up yet again. (Anyone who doesn't twitch at the site of Phillip becoming Freddy's puppet is hardcore, because that shit still gets me to this day.) But which one's better...? After taking it out here, I have to go with the first. Agreed! Indeed we will. HOLY SHIT! I just checked the credits and noticed that Frank Darabont, the Oscar-nominated writer/director of The Shawshank Redemption, co-wrote part 3. The one thing that bothers me about the franchise, however, is the humor. Granted, I still laugh at the jokes and they kept the series alive, but they seem to make Freddy the good guy. When the audience is laughing with him, they stop caring about the kids he's haunting. Add to the fact that he's a child molester, and our laughs seem even more out of place.
  9. Here's the thing: I think the original's the best (they usually are), but 3 entertained me the most. So I'm torn.
  10. Question says it all. I was going to leave New Nightmare off because it's technically not a sequel (seeing as how it's a demon and not Freddy), as well as Freddy v Jason because it's a crossover film (and therefore not dedicated to Freddy alone), but thought better of it and obviously included both. EDIT: And of course please state why.
  11. Can't believe I don't know this (ignore the double negative, please), but can both sections fight off attacks?
  12. Plot summary: When Blade is framed in a series of brutal killings, he must join forces with the Nightstalkers, a clan of human vampire hunters, to follow a trail of blood that leads directly to the notorious vampire legend, Dracula. Jessica Biel co-stars as Abigail, the daughter of Blade's mentor, Whistler, who inherits his vampire-slaying duties. The film also stars Ryan Reynolds as the Nightstalker, Hannibal King.

  13. Horror movies generally don't scare me, but some have been known to freak me out. Case in point, The Blair Witch Project. The tension that they built up combined with the Cops-like filming gave the film a level of suspense that I've never felt before while watching a horror film. And the ending! Goosebumps! Goosebumps to this day! But I know there are some people who hate and/or don't get it. Which also means that they weren't scared by it. So I ask you, was this movie scary?

    300

    Oddly enough, I never finished it. I have all the issues and like what I read, just never felt compelled to read the whole thing. Maybe because I knew the ending.
  16. Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead, 2004) has been tapped to direct Frank Miller's epic 300. Personally, I hope they go with a real world/historical feel and don't comic book it up just because that's the source material.
  17. And it's posted. Good work. The only thing I'm worried about is the logo. Because that effect needs to be done on black (at least that's what I remember you saying, correct me if I'm wrong), will all of the backgrounds need to have black in them?
  18. Name Change: What If...? is now Versus. (If anyone can think of a better name for that forum, PM me. 'Cause I'm not crazy about either.)
  19. It's being reported that Nelson McCormick (who's directed Alias and ER) will direct the pilot episode of WB's adaptation of Warren Ellis' Global Frequency. Shooting will begin in August.
  20. Look at my name. Also: Darth Vader abd Han Solo. Don't know how it's going to turn out, but I'm trying my hand at a Link wallpaper.

    Identity Crisis

    You're kidding... right?
  22. EDIT: Damn this picture! Never wants to show up.
