I think the man in that photo looks greasy.. What's worse is when old men have long gray hair or when guys with thinning hair on top try to grow the rest long to compensate. Dude, you are still balding on top. We notice this. ETA: And our treeduck has a head of hair that makes the guy in the picture look like a novice. I love Duckys hair! Looks great on him! Thanks Donna... I'd like to see a picture please I need to see this hair! You want to see a picture of my hair??

I've also been in the MTV Canada audience when they interviewed Trailer Park Boys.. I was on camera quite a bit as I was sitting directly across from them on the floor seats, they actually remembered me later that week when I hung out with them at the ACC at a hockey game but that's another story. Cool, you'll have to tell me about that sometime...

Stephen King stole things he wrote in "Carrie" though, like the stones falling on the house (which didn't appear in the Brian DePalma film). edit: one of the actors in the film (the irritating professor who was bent on destroying Nancy Travis' character) died before filming was complete. i liked the random dark tower reference that was thrown into that one...

QUOTE (GeddyRulz @ Mar 16 2010, 10:51 PM) Based on your tastes, you'd probably love Firefly. It's a sci-fi/western hybrid, had a cult following... and was unfairly cancelled after one season, so the "complete series" is available in one package. It was great. Firefly is awesome...

QUOTE (nobodys hero @ Mar 17 2010, 08:54 AM) QUOTE (udanax @ Mar 16 2010, 08:49 PM) We taped today, but the show will air on April 20th. I wasn't picked as a contestant unfortunately, but Drew Carey did point me out during a commercial break and asked me a few questions, and someone from our group was picked as a contestant. If you manage to catch the show and see the guy who gets picked from the crowd of people wearing purple and gold (the dude is a red headed football player so he's not hard to miss), I give him a hi-five as he comes down. Also I'm the only one who has pigtails in the whole audience. It's surprising the way they pick contestants. I thought it was all done by random drawing of names, but they actually give you a mini interview before the show starts and pick based on that. Also I was surprised to see how streamline everything was on set. It was actually pretty amazing. Other than a few short places where the show was paused and reset for commercial breaks, and Drew Carey messing up his lines once, everything was set up pretty much just as you see it on TV. They also gave a lot of good stuff away, including one new car, 3 pairs of designer shoes, some expensive jewelery, a PS3, a 50 inch LCD TV and some other stuff I can't currently think of. That discludes the showcase showdown... Other than my voice being shot from how much they made us cheer, and how long I had to wait in line beforehand, I had a great time. I would reccomend anyone to go see an episode filmed if they are in the Hollyweird area. I would love to go on the Price is Right. I started watching after Drew became host. I hear it's really tough to get in the studio though. Drew always talks about how long peeps had to wait in line. I'll look for you on April 20th. Well, tickets do pretty much guarantee that you'll get in, but we did have to arrive ridiculously early. We got there 2 hours before we were scheduled to begin shooting, but it turned out to be more like 4 hours because they were running slow. It was well worth it though I think. I mean, at least for me it was.

So, I'm going to go and be on everybody's favorite show to watch when staying at home sick tomorrow, The Price is Right... This will be my first time going to the production of a live TV show. Who knows, maybe I'll win a new car lol... Has anyone ever been on set for the filming of a TV show or movie before? What was it like?

Yeah, but he cut them short and brought the attention to himself. I understand that's his shtick, but not when you've got making their first appearance on network tv in two decades. You show respect and let them play through. That added to my dislike of him. It was a joke! You had to tune in the next episode for the pay-off! I thought it was funny... I also didn't mind because most of the show is meant to be a silly glorification of himself, and he does have a point in the fact that Rush's songs probably run a little long for the average, non-prog rock, listener. He does shit like that to ALL of his guests. Just because Rush are rock Gods does not exclude them from being treated unlike anybody else who appears on the Colbert Report. At least he didn't make the band members look really stupid during the interview. Anyways, I picked Colbert, simply because I don't watch much of The Daily Show, and Stephen Colbert's silly egoism can just get me busting up sometimes.

I remember reading somewhere that people had never seen that before. These days you kind of expect that to happen. I think I know which Clint Eastwood movie you're talking about.... wasn't it called High Plains Drifter? The town of Lago hires a stranger (Eastwood) to fight off their enemies for them, just to find out that the stranger has an ulterior motive at the end? There are so many Clint Eastwood movies...

I love the Alice in Wonderland book, but I've only read parts of Through the Looking Glass.... Visually it was pretty good, and I loved the costumes... From a storyline aspect I disliked it. It just wasn't bizzarre enough to be Alice to me. I'm also not sure if the movie was made for kids or for adults. Some of the themes I found to be too adultish for kids while others seemed too kiddish to truly be good for adults. It didn't have a good balance like some movies do. The actress that played Alice I think was a snore, either that, or her part was just written very poorly. I honestly also thought Johnny Depp could've been a bit better as well. His character looks zanier than he actually turned out being in the movie. The dialogue also didn't have enough of that nonsensical, comical, yet somehow witty banter that I expect from Alice in Wonderland books and movies. I also think that many of the themes were stolen from American McGee's Alice, which was a cult video game that came out in '99 that was supposed to depict a very gruesome version of Wonderland. Of course, the movie wasn't even done well enough to have Wonderland tied too closely with Alice's state of sanity, which is what American McGee's version does. The storyline was written by a Disney writer, so I'm thinking that's why things clashed so much... Anyways, enough with my whining... OFF WITH IT'S HEAD!!!!!

cool pictures!

I was going to buy tickets to see them at Coachella on the 17th of April, but I have a water polo game.... Maybe it'll work out somehow, but I doubt it. Too bad they don't have any other concert listings in my area right now....

I don't remember exactly what it was about, but last time I saw an episode of The Twilight Zone it was one where a movie star ends up in a parallel universe when she saves her hometown from a plane accident by inviting then all to her concert. Ironically enough, she never shows up to the concert and it turns out that she somehow ended up being on the plane that crashed. Also, theres the one with the old man who discovers the fountain of youth by playing "Kick the Can". And the one with the guy who ends up being the last man on earth. He finally finds he can make peace with his lonliness in reading books but then breaks his glasses. The humans who land on a planet where the alien is a giant little kid... and so many more that I'm sure I'm forgetting....

QUOTE (rushgoober @ Dec 30 2009, 08:53 AM) QUOTE (udanax @ Dec 29 2009, 11:53 PM) Visually this movie was stunning. I think the storyline was alright as far as movies go, but as a fan of sci-fi books and such, I think it really could've been taken much further. First of all, I think the they should've had a whole science movement on figuring out why a planet with gravity has floating mountains. If humans grasp the power of gravity, then they are indestructable. Okay, I'm getting a little too nit picky here, and I'm setting aside the point that floaty mountains look really cool... Second of all, Na'vi sex? What the heck was up with that? Why do they have sex like humans? You would think that weird braid thingy that they had would also serve for reproductive purposes, simply because it serves for dominance purposes.... Ok, again I'm not being fair. If they had alien like sex then it also wouldn't be a James Cameron film. It's the same reason the female Na'vi have boobs. They really don't need them though. Even Cameron admits he put them there because he likes boobs, which is fine with me. Adding boobs makes them look more "normal" (for aliens). The thing is, if you make the aliens too alien then the people who watch the movie won't like them and wouldn't be able to relate to them, but then the movie has no point. If aliens act human then are they really aliens???? Wow, I read way too much Orson Scott Card to have fun at the theaters..... NERD ALERT!!!!! Anyways... I guess I'm just saying that if you want to set aside little technicalities and such for a visually appealing, feel good kind of movie, with a lead character who is a go getter but a little numb in the mind. Then Avatar is for you. Overall I give it a B+ it needs that extra 10% I think. I couldn't help but think that Pocahontas and Fern Gully had a rated R? PG-13? baby with a really talented effects team, lots of explosions, and fair acting.... Oh yeah, and BOOBS!!!! (P.S. When he said it took 6 years to get to the planet, is that 6 real years, or six years distorted by the fact that they are travelling at the speed of light?... Oh shoot I'm being too technical again...) I totally understand where you're coming from. Ironically, my first reaction to the movie was that it was an amazing depiction of a science-fiction world/book/story come to life with a scope I'd never seen before. That said, it did have an appealing to the masses quality to it that necessarily sacrificed some of the finer points of a fully-realized intelligent and highly original science-fiction story. Maybe someday someone will come along and do a film version of Ender's Game or some other intelligently written and complex sci-fi story with the necessary depth to go along with the amazing visual and technical splendor. Until then, we have this. I guess I appreciate it more for what it is than what it's not. It's still a marvel to sit through, and I know I'll see it numerous times over the years... I just wish they would've explained the reason for certain things a little better.... Or even better, make certain technologies that they used a more pivotal part of the storyline. I know they are already making a movie out of Ender's Game, but it's going to be really tricky and I hope they don't ruin it. I look up Orson Scott Card's website every now and then. Apparently he's trying to get the script finished as soon as he possibly can.

I saw the movie "Turtles Can Fly" in high school during sophmore year. It was a good movie, but I don't think I can ever watch it again, simply because of how powerful it was. It follows some young children in the modern day Middle East... (Kurdistan I think... I don't quite remember). The opening sequence shows a young girl committing suicide by jumping off of a cliff, and the rest of the movie is about the sequence of events in her life and the lives of her friends which ultimately led her to do that... I think the entire movie is in Kurdish... I'm not sure... It's been awhile since I saw it.

QUOTE (silver @ Dec 10 2009, 01:34 PM) Can't wait for the new cd to come out. Claudio's voice just like Zakk Wylde you have to get used to it. Once it settles in there is no problems. The first couple C and C cds his voice was a bit higher pitched but he has brought it down to an acceptable level. They put on a very good live show and as stated CLaudio loves to engage the bands fans. Nice to see compared to a lot of other new bands and their aversion to this. diddo!
