Alone in the Dark-

Who told Tara Reid she could act? Damn, that bitch ruins every movie she's in! Christian Slater and Stephen Dorff are fine, but the plot/story was pretty weak. And I'm 95% sure that I caught a glaring editing error the first and only time I watched this movie.

When they go down that deep hole to retrieve their buddy that fell on the spikes... Just as they reach the bottom and the big cement column comes falling down, there is a lady on the floor that is supposedly dead. As the living members of the party walk away, you can see her head move like she is about to stand up. :rolleyes:

Come on studios! You sink millions of dollars into a film, the least you could do is edit it properly.

All in all, I thought the movie was pretty lame... C-



I'm watching Scarecrow: Slayer right now. I'll let you know...

slasherman 06-08-2005 12:54 PM

This reminds me, there is a part in the original dawn o fthe dead where a zombie is killed. a second later a stand or a tent (i cant remember which) falls down, and the zombie moves on the floor to avoid being landed on.

Boogeyman

I liked a lot of it, honestly more than I thought I would. But the last few minutes of it ruined it.

The Unseen : piece of crap horror film about a inbred famly starring mrs. ringo star.

Dawn of the dead(2004) & Lost Boys ( amoung some of the better present I got for my birthday this year.)

Vodstok 06-09-2005 04:42 AM

Saw Dodgeball: A true underdog story last night.

Not quite as side splitting as Anchorman, but still fucking hilarious.

If i didnt know better, i would think Ben stiller and vince vaughn were gay for each other...

It also has Stephen "Jimmy James, Milton" Root, who i absolutely love. News Radio was one of the few sitcoms i could sit through, and Jimmy James was an idol to me.

slasherman 06-09-2005 04:42 AM

"The Manchurian Candidate"(2004) ...a good thriller...very good acting...hasnt seen the orginal

"Prom Night"....dissapointing slasher....no killing the first hour...and the killer was lame.....no nudity nearly no gore...

... well its not my thing thats for sure, but it was a review copy ... I'm not a goth so ugly goth women performing hardcore sex does nothing for me, but I guess there must be an audience for it ...

Vodstok 06-09-2005 09:51 AM

There is an audience for just about anything these days...

Entertaining review, by the way. I liked the creative alternatives to the term "masturbate".

Nothing left to teach us in school [As if there ever was:rolleyes:], so we watched The Road to El Dorado.

Wasnt bad, had some humor that even people my age could enjoy. The animation was pretty damn good in some parts, too. Also, it was nice to watch a movie other than Shrek in school:rolleyes:

I feel like Amalthea:p

ya know how sometimes you watch a movie a second time even if you hated it the first time just to see if something would be different and it turns out you actually start to like it?


well this aint one of those movies.

"Team America-world police".....I enjoyed it....not in the beginning...but more through the movie

Vinyl :


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120454/


amazing compelling film.
All shot here in toronto (good luck finding it)

an independant film made by a guy shooting the camera into a mirror - trying to figure out his life - while interviewing vinyl collectors. trying to get to the heart of their obsessions ..

it is funny a lot of the times, very moving at other times ..

its a shame most of you would never be able to find it because the people on this forum would love it - especially the older guys (newb) here.

I still have quite a bit of vinyl [ surely not 1/10 of what urge most likely has].
Some "audiophiles" swear by it and think its a better reproduction of the music.I guess my ears can't quite pick out the subtleties of which they speak.

I do hear the occasional scratch or dust build up though.

the movie really concentrated on the actual obsession ... for most of these guys it wasnt even about the music ... it was far weirder ..

and these guys made me look like a beginner .. collections of 500,000 to 1,000,000 records ... guys whos houses were so full they couldnt walk in them ..

christ even i could never be that insane - and for me it IS all about the actual music ..

DAMN....sounds more like a sickness to me.

Well as far as movie watching, I haven't watched one movie all week.I plan on ending tha streak tonight.I'm gonna sit down with a cold one and set up my projector [ i made a temp screen out of a shower curtain liner no less....looks pretty good,until my proper screen i ordered on e-bay comes in.] I'm not quite sure what i will watch ...thinking about Shaun of the Dead.

how much did the screen on ebay cost you ?

newb 06-10-2005 07:49 AM

Its a DA-LIGHT 80 x 60 screen.With shipping it was only $200.
I have been pricing them and that ain't too bad for a new screen.

thats another thing i had a spare of - but its custom made for my model ..which is probably about 4X the size of what you have .. at least - otherwise you could just have it ..


this is what mine looks like - i can barely carry it by myself .. and i can carry a lot. It's well over 100 pounds ..

A bit big.Damn, my projector onlys weighs about 6 pounds.

yeah there are pluses and minuses ...

my projector is great - especially for free - but once it breaks - it's end of story - unless i can get a couple of good units made from the parts of the 4 or 5 that i have.


the picture is great though - it's an RGB so it has more warmth and depth than the single lens models ..

(it was worth $1000's when it was new back in the early 80's)

newb 06-10-2005 09:16 AM

I'm really looking forward to getting this thing set up. But like i said it will be mostly for movies. The damn bulbs are about $150 to replace but your suppose to get about 5000 hrs out of one.
The wife won't be watching american idol on this, thats fer sure.

Star Wars- Empire Strikes Back



some friends and I were debating over which Star Wars film was the best and I thought it was pretty obvious that it was Empire Strikes Back. It's four of us(we completely discarded the one guy that said Return of the Jedi) I said Empire Strikes Back and the other two said Revenge of the Sith, so with Revenge of the Sith still vivid in my memory I watched Empire Strikes Back and decided to stick with my decision. It's clearly the best film of the entire series I don't even know why I doubted it.

Why'd ya dismiss RotJ? I agree with you on Empire being the best, but thought Jedi wsa a close second. Oh well, to each his own;) :p

It was a pretty good movie but it didn't have the same quality as the first two(for me anyway), and the ending really didn't do it for me Harrison Ford put it best imo when he referred to it as the ''teddy bear picnic''.

100% behind you on this ...

by ROTJ he had realized the marketing potential of toys and made it a joke.

i believe i read somewhere (correct me if i'm wrong) that the ewoks or whatever fuck they are were origionally supposed to be a lot yougher - meaner looking - instead of those buck tooth muppets ..

and the name - as everyone knows - was origionally supposed to be revenge - not return.

lucas knew/knows where his money is coming from.
