  1. Ok... After listening to Rue Morgue Radio this week where they interviewed the film I have to say I'm going to see it and report it in all its glory for you folks. Feedback and Chris Alexander (incidentally one of the fellows Uwe Boll beat the crap out of in Vancouver last year) went through much of the film and my interest is piqued. They seem to think it goes beyond retarded into the poignant. The pre-title sequence is a group of Arab terrorists in the cockpit of a plane who, after arguing about how many virgins they'll receive in the afterlife (99 or 100) and whether or not they'll have to share him, they decide to turn the plane around and vacation in Florida just as the heroic passengers burst through the cabin door and bum rush the terrorist after their change of mind. That plane hits the World Trade Center. I HAVE to see this film. Something so gloriously offensive at least deserves my rental. And apparently Verne Troyer gets anally gang raped by an army of chimps and Uwe Boll plays himself and claims his films are funded with Nazi gold. Radical to say the least.
  2. Both are brilliant! If you like Dan Simmons, try "Carrion Comfort" which has to be the best vampire novel ever written next to I Am Legend.
  3. Yeah, I forgot to mention that one. A great album but for me, it was a little too hyped up in my mind. It was years in the making. Although I find it kind of cool that that whole collaborative process was done by people who for the most part never saw each other. They just emailed tracks back and forth.
  4. It's funny...I'm more excited about the other movies mentioned in that short blurb than S:MoS. Especially Telstar.
  5. No I did not know that. If I had any time for video games I'd be all over that but sadly I do not... Other great Patton albums: -California by Mr. Bungle (especially the song "Retrovertigo") -Director's Cut by Fantomas -Music to make love to your old lady by by Lovage (Handsome Boy Modeling School featuring Dan the Automator and a slew of others) There are many others too but these are good starts.

  7. See, I'm the opposite. I picked up the first two and dropped it for boredom's sake. It's really just phoning it in as far as Ellis is concerned. He's better than that and I felt he was pandering.
  8. Listening to a lot of Tomahawk as I anxiously await their new album. "Love her to Death" by Alice Cooper gets regular rotation on the old iPod as well.
  9. I'm currently picking up The Physics of Superheroes chapter by chapter but I wanted to mention that Bill Bryson's autobiography "Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid" is fucking brilliantly funny and I"m only one chapter in. I also just finished Stephen King's "Cell" and it's got to be the best thing he's written in over a decade. He went downhill after Needful Things with very few moments that come up for air but this book was great. Probably has something to do with the fact that it's only 350 pages (1/3 the regular page count). What are YOU reading?
  10. Wow...with presentations like these I sure hope that Chicago lives up to this.
  11. That's what I was thinking? Why is a tribute controversial?
  12. The Dennis Miller Tales from the Crypt (and Demon Knight) should not count and neither should Creepshow. Creepshow is an homage to EC comics but is in itself not a comic book movie.
  13. I'm more than happy it did so! Maybe it's time to name Reel Dreads after more shitty metal songs... I'm just going to go right ahead and take credit for this one too.
  14. Check it out on the main page here to see the short films of the finalists.
  15. Hey guys, if you like what you hear... Buy albums by The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets at: -Toren's ebay store -Amazon.com -The top four selections at cdbaby.com Check out Toren's art and voice talent stuff from links at his blog Support independent music and art or the big bad companies will take over everything!!!
  16. "I didn't all of a sudden have a plane" Priceless!
  17. DC changing the villain in Armageddon 2001 from Captain Atom to Hawk because fans guessed who it was...
  18. I knew a guy that pronounced his name New-En, and I think it was spelled the same. Weird...of course I guess it changes depending on what part of China or Taiwan you come from eh?
  19. Ngyuen is pronounced "when"
  20. Well it certainly ain't the feel-good hit of the year.
  21. Shouldn't this be moved to the horror section? Unless of course there's a shitpile section of the forum I'm not acquainted with. Funny thing about the comments below it. I am not fluent in french but I think this "C'est de la merde réalisé par le pire réalisateur de la création, Uwe Boll," means something like "It's shit made by the worst director of all creation, Uwe Boll." He should put that on the DVD case... The ovation comment has me thinking he's gone delirious too.

    Stamford, Conneticut eh? I blame the New Warriors... Too soon?
  23. Wow...good to know that longstanding characters in the MU are being treated so well with terminology like "Thrown under the bus" and "dirt nap." I could care less what they do with Spider-man anymore. Joe Q talks and talks about how they've ruined the character with the wedding and all that and now they go even further....another girl in the fridge please!

    Thank you for outlining the way the world works. That is exactly what's going to happen. It may drag out a little longer up here in the Great White North but with Conrad Black about to go to American jail, it's about to be old news up here too. I thought that the "Sports Entertainment" moniker is what made their usage ok?
