Alien The Birds 28 Days Later The Thing

He will always be Sulu to me. There were a few episodes where Sulu did some dancing. He was quite good. Now we know why. No matter, he is a cool dude. I have always liked him. He's still Sulu and now he is most certainly George Takei. I still like him. He's cool.

Good posts everyone. I'm surprised at the number of you who liked Lazenby in the role of Bond. Perhaps I (and Broccoli) did not give him a chance. I agree that On Her Majesty's Secret Service was a good Bond flick. This was the George Lazenby one. I think it was Moonraker who said it best about Roger Moore. He was too much the playboy and too little "license to kill". Frankly, if I was a woman, I would think he is repulsive. His so-called charm would come across as being smarmy and he's pretty ugly anyway. He looked too old even in his younger years. He just looks like a sugar-daddy. Plodder thought Sean Connery was too arrogant. Admittedly, that's a fine line when an actor is playing Bond. The actor has to convey at least SOME arrogance or the whole picture falls. Bond is supposed to be sure of himself both with the ladies and with his mission. Indy, I'm surprised at you, buddy. I would have thought you were a Sean Connery man.

QUOTE (Stickman @ Oct 29 2005, 03:34 AM) It has to be Roger Moore. No, say it isn't so. Alas, you have said that your favorite Bond is Roger Moore. At least you didn't vote for Dalton or that erstwhile Bond.. Lazenby. Fair enough.

Sean Connery was the best Bond, IMHO. I thought Roger Moore was way too soft; George Lazenby was an undeserved Bond; Dalton should have shared the same fate as Lazenby; and Brosnan was quite good. So here's my lineup in order of preference: Sean Connery Pierce Brosnan Ahem, the other three all sucked. They couldn't carry Bond's Walther PPK, let alone his jockstrap. I thought all of them sucked equally. The only real Bonds were Connery and Brosnan. The other guys are sissies.

I will certainly go see Casino Royalewhen it comes out. I'm a James Bond fanatic so it would take a bit to keep me away (George Lazenby, anyone?). However, I am dissappointed. I felt sure that Clive Owen would be the next Bond. He would have been perfect, IMHO.

Carlos Mencia - Not for the Easily Offended Have any of you seen this guy? Wow, he made me laugh like no other since Eddie Murphy Delirious or Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip. This was easily the best comedy routine I have seen since those two and surpassed both of them in many ways. Don't bother if you don't like "blue" language or are easily offended like the title says. This guy is smart, he's funny, and you will cry laughing.

Me too I'm sure there were a few swear words maybe even a almost fist fight or two lol. I would have thought at least one of them would have sat up front. That was SO funny. Here are these four people that now hate each other and yet all four cram the back of that cab. I'm also surprised that the doorman was able to keep a straight face. You just know he was ready to bust out laughing. He was probably like "oh, boy, the Donald has his dander up".

QUOTE (rushgoober @ Oct 28 2005, 02:32 PM) When they showed ALL FOUR of them packed into the backseat of the cab at the end, it was HILARIOUS! I bet they all felt like a bunch of class-A idiots! Seriously, I figured it out, but only about 5 seconds before he did it, and still it was a shock! I too thought he would fire two people (he did that once last season), but never FOUR! There are going to be some majorly shocked faces at the beginning of next week's episode from the remaining contestants! No kidding. All those internees up in the suite are going to be wondering who is going to walk through the door. You know they are expecting at least TWO of them to walk through that door. It will be so funny to see them checking the hallway and wondering where the hell everybody is. I have to catch that episode. I just want to see the looks on their faces when they realize that Trump has fired all of them. Don't mess with the Donald!

QUOTE (pixey @ Oct 28 2005, 01:10 PM) Love the Books Of Blood Series! Wonder if we will ever see the shorts made into movies, kinda like Creepshow. I really like the story about the guy who kidnaps people and makes them face their fears, particularly the girl who is vegetarian and gives her a side of beef that just sits there and she has to eat it. Way cool!!!! Isn't that so totally sick?! That was such a gruesome, perverted story. I love it! Clive Barker is such a twisted you-know-what. That man is totally deranged and I'm so happy that he is! I love all his stuff, but especially The Great and Secret Show. I have read that book so many times I have lost count.

QUOTE (paganoman @ Oct 28 2005, 11:12 AM) WAR!!! Dude - I love that the movie scared you like that, but why give so much away to those who didn't see it yet?? Can you edit that post and remove??? Sheesh!! Sorry! I got ahead of myself there. I should have considered other people who have not seen it. Oh well, hopefully they will forget this post and one day see it and scramble for cover anyway!

I'm afraid I don't have any information related to autism. The only thing I really have to say is that your son is a cute kid, GG. I hope you don't take that wrong or anything; it's just that I have seen his picture throughout a lot of your posts and it just really struck me that he is indeed a cute kid. That's all, I wish I had more. I wish there was something I could do. Hopefully, your efforts in this arena will point towards some results for your son. All the best.

QUOTE (paganoman @ Oct 27 2005, 08:28 AM) If you like good ol' ghost stories..... I HIGHLY recommend an old movie from the early seventies called The Changeling. http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/changeling/changeling_fl.jpg http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/changeling/changeling_shot2s.jpg Quick storyline.... A music professor from NY suffers a great tragedy which moves him to a different city. Through contacts with the local historical society, he rents a secluded mansion which has been empty for years. The problem...... he is not alone. No major special effects or scenes of gore. Just a great ghost story. I don't think I could ever watch this movie again. It frightened me that much. When George C. Scott goes and throws that ball away and comes back home just to see it bouncing back down the stairs again.... Egads! No, I'm sorry, I'm outta there. I would not even pack. I would run like the wind. Not to mention the fact that the kid was drowned because he was handicapped. A great ghost story that also included sociological issues. That was a great ghost story!

I saw that episode. I don't get to watch this much anymore, but boy, didn't you get the feeling that was what he was going to do! When he sent the three up to the suite and denied PM Josh the opportunity to pick candidates to sit before the firing squad, I figured big trouble was in the making. I was quite sure he was going to fire both Josh and Jennifer, but he sent all four of them packing! I wonder if that will effect the length of the "job interview" and thus the season. After all, there is usually just one candidate fired after each enterprise. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall of that cab drive.

The Jerk!! This movie makes me cry laughing. He is SOOO Stupid! "He hates these cans" I love it! However, my favorite comic scene is in Naked Gun. When Priscilla Presley is on that ladder... "nice beaver" "thanks, I just had it stuffed" That's just too damned funny!

QUOTE (Cyclops @ Oct 20 2005, 07:52 PM) Nurse Ratchet from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. She was evil. Yes! Good mention. She was so cold. Just absolutely frigid. She really had no interest in rehabilitating any of those guys as much as she just wanted to exert her control. What a bitch!

Fargo, without a doubt. I did enjoy Blood Simple and Raising Arizona. The Big Lebowski was The Big Loaf of Shit IMO.

The Station Agent This is a lovely movie, just overflowing with heart!

QUOTE (Schro @ Oct 17 2005, 11:52 AM) White Squall was indeed a good flick, Physics23 Here's my Movie of the Week: DownFall As one critic said, "Bruno Ganz *is* Hitler". Watching his performance alone is riveting and worth a rental. But the rest of the movie is dead-on and incredibly well-made portrayal of the last days of Hitler. It is a bit harsh in spots, (but not as much as Schindler's List was) Due to this kids should likely not watch it. That said, I thought the writers did a magnificent job of telling the story without focusing on the morbid aspects of it. Also amazing is the fact that the country responsible for this tragic part of history are the ones who made this film and add to it's authenticity. You simply cannot go through life without taking in this film. Schro Man, I just got goosebumps big-time! As a matter of fact, I still have them as I am writing this reply. I just saw this exactly 3 nights ago and it was extraordinary. I wholeheartedly agree with you, Schro, one simply CANNOT go through life without seeing this amazing film. In addition to Bruno Ganz's portrayal of Hitler, that young lass who played his personal secratary was SO good. Alexandra Maria Paul I think her name was. Something like that anyway. You're right. It's amazing that this is a German film. I for one was actually a little surprised at the very negative light they threw upon Speers and Goebbles even if they did kind of give Hitler a little velvet glove treatment. I mean they did kind of humanize him, but boy did they ever lay into Eva Braun (great job of showing what a nutbug she was) and Goebbles wife. Mrs. Goebbles was a complete monster and shames all other fictional stereotypes. I would not recommend this movie to females for that reason. It was absolutely mesmerizing and well-researched. I went to the library afterwards and saw the bunker in detail and they were spot on! Great mention! I was thinking about starting a thread about this movie but figured maybe no-one had seen it. You and I have at least and we can count ourselves among the fortunate ones.

Candyman was quite good even if it deviated a bit from the original Clive Barker story. It was gory as hell and just plain damn scary. It was probably the best horror movie I have ever seen in regards to "implied" gore. Your imagination could fill in the the bloody blanks. The Exorcist and The Omen are both very disturbing. One does not have to believe in the religious aspect in order to be scared by these movies.

QUOTE (Arndrake @ Oct 19 2005, 01:59 AM) I realize that nowadays, this film is no longer considered scary, but I would have to nominate 'Alien' It had so much of what makes good gothic horror: isolation, darkness, shock, a little gore. It always gave me nightmares when I was younger. Dammit, you beat me to it! I totally agree with you about the reasons why it is scary. The Nostromo was in outer space and sabotaged by that android Ash. I guess it's really sci-fi horror, but that's why it's so cool. It succeeds on both levels. Great sci-fi and great horror. I think this movie is still one of the most frightening films I have ever seen and I specialize in seeing horror films. I have seen it dozens of times and that same helpless feeling always washes over me when I imagine the circumstance. Such dread, such terror!

I almost can't believe it. I figured that "emo" must stand for emotional music. I did not know but I did hope that was not the case. What a joke that there is some so-called "new" genre called emo. How exactly is that a genre? Don't most people identify with a certain form of music because it stirs their emotions? ALL forms of music could be called emo if that is the case. I don't know about the rest of you, but I enjoy music/lyrics if it stirs my emotions/intellect. All versions of music could be called emo. Whatever, RUSH is the ultimate emo. It's ultimate because it stirs my emotions like no other band before or since while also engaging my intellect.

QUOTE (defrushfan01 @ Oct 12 2005, 11:21 AM) I would have to say Hip hop/Rap. This type of music takes no ability whatsoever. I can very easily write some offensive "lyrics" or words that could offend anyone, and put them to a cheep, stupid, boring beat from a drum machine and get some hot girls to dance in the background of me Rapin these words. Not too tuff. Thats why I hate it. and i can usually listen to just about anything, but this, no way i cant stand it! Very well said. I echo your sentiments. I know exactly where you are coming from. Although I can't carry a tune in a bucket, I could do this crap simply because I have a basso profundo voice. It would be such a novelty. Hey, check out the white guy with the booming baritone & the filthy lyrics. Check out the scratcher on the turntable. Wow, those chicks sure are hot! What an act, we gotta get them on SNL or Carson Daly. NOT!!

Rap. I really don't know what emo is but I don't think it would matter. My answer would still be rap. I despise this stuff more than I could ever put into words.
