Public call-outs are my favourite kind of call-outs

I just sat through the wonderful movie that is Birdemic: Shock and Terror again 10/10 would always recommend such a masterpiece of a movie

OANST 03-19-2014 11:47 AM

Sending people warnings because your public call out of them wasn't given the last word is my favorite thing.

In response to WoF's negative feedback of my last post: Remember when we used to get along, and you were less of a whiny twat who took offense to everything, and started using "Oh, it's OANST. I don't have to care," as your stock comeback? Well, let me be clear, you take everything I say way more seriously than I do, even though you like to pretend that you don't. If I get irritated with you, it isn't because you have bad taste, combined with tunnel vision when it comes to the entertainment you take in (which you do). It's because you're such a fucking crybaby about people making jokes about it. You take something light hearted, and turn it into serious business. You never used to do that. So, if you want to give me a warning, give me a warning. I really don't fucking care.

But you cared enough to write up that big ass paragraph? You should probably stop.

I've been watching Paranoia Agent and I might just weeb all over you, OANST.
I didn't really appreciate it at first but now I'm ten episodes in and the way it tells its story is pure genius.
E: Oh, new page.
Also I agree with SB that Birdemic is beautiful.

I sent OANST a private warning because very clearly Nate's post should have been the end of everything, yet he insisted on dragging it on to get the final word. I didn't want to keep spamming up the thread with this shit.

Infraction for OANST. Public warning for all other contestants: The next page worth of posts better damn well be about what you just watched. No trolling and no baiting the troll.

OANST 03-19-2014 02:51 PM

Dear god, you've become such a douchebag.

MeechMunchie 03-19-2014 05:37 PM

No, he became a moderator.

Nate 03-19-2014 09:17 PM

Same thing.

Next off-topic post receives an infraction.

Hey, I've watched Flash Gordon. It's a movie about Flash Gordon. It's based on a 30's comic series, so it's, you've guessed it, very cliche. But I've enjoyed it, very much. It's a very different experience than watching modern movies that either struggle to be original or unoriginal movies that pretend they're something more. Sure, it was incredibly stupid, you can thing simultaneously of multiple reasons why a thing in the movie shouldn't happen... but it was fun. Also, the costumes looked great, and the OST is amazing (as it's made by Queen)

Phylum 03-19-2014 11:09 PM

But did he wear silver underwear?

Varrok 03-19-2014 11:22 PM

Unfortunately, no. But he's not even a superhero. He's a dumb guy in his thirties with no character, as far as I can tell

Slog Bait 03-19-2014 11:35 PM

Flash Gordon is fucking great and I recommend it even more than Birdemic

11/10 why hasn't everyone watched it yet

Varrok 03-19-2014 11:49 PM

Hey, don't compare it to Birdemic, Flash Gordon looks like a masterpiece in writing and visuals when compared to it

OANST 03-20-2014 07:48 AM

Watching True Blood with Stephanie has been interesting. The show can never really decide what it wants its tone to be. When it decides that it wants to be stupid and funny, it does that pretty well. When it wants to be serious (which is most of the time) it still ends up being stupid and funny. Basically, it's a terrible show that still ends up being pretty entertaining.

STM 03-20-2014 08:07 AM

Is that the 'Southern Vampires' deal on FX/AMC?

I've been watching Bate's Motel with Amy. I watched the first episode when it first aired and I thought it a bit slow, kinda cool but slow. Any way I'm so glad I picked it up again on Netflix as we're addicted right now. The show's era is weird, I swear it wants to be a sort of strange cross between the 50s and the modern day, I might have to Wikipedia what they're going for but still, I'd recommend it.

OANST 03-20-2014 09:08 AM

I also got hooked on Bates Motel. We just finished watching the first season. The only reason I wanted to watch it is because Vera Farmiga is fucking hot, but it turned out to be a pretty good show.

True Blood is a lot of southern vampires, but it's on HBO.

STM 03-20-2014 11:10 AM

Yeah, I'm on either s1e6 or s1e7 now I think, really getting interesting, even though at the moment there's been a lull after the corrupt cop died.

Ah right, I think it's the same thing, FX is the English channel for those shows.

Mr. Bungle 03-20-2014 01:14 PM

So, True Detective is fantastic. Speaking of HBO.

FX is a totally different company all together. I think HBO shows sometimes come to Sky.

STM 03-21-2014 07:54 AM

Hmm, well I know FX (now Fox) airs the Walking Dead, True Blood and American Horror Story.

OANST 03-21-2014 08:24 AM

That's weird. Two of those shows are AMC, and one HBO. I guess they must have a distribution deal.

STM 03-21-2014 01:19 PM

Yeah I would have thought so, as far as I know we don't get HBO or AMC.

MA 03-22-2014 12:57 PM

OANST loves his anime. loves it like a brother.

i watched Tucker & Dale Vs Evil. i thought it was fucking hilarious. have some clips. the first video is okay and spoiler-free really, but the second video is SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS so be careful.





for brief context, everything they're saying is absolutely true. or at least from their perspective it's absolutely true.

Holy Sock 03-28-2014 05:57 PM

Watched it for the second time a couple of days ago. It's a pretty fun concept. I guess it's in a similar vein and has a similar feel as Cabin in the Woods (except with less social commentary about the horror genre itself.)

A sequel seems to be in the works.

MeechMunchie 03-29-2014 05:59 AM

I just saw the Octodad movie. Or I might have dreamed that.

Nepsotic 03-29-2014 03:43 PM

I just caught We Need to Talk About Kevin on TV.

This film is such a massive piece of shit. I have never gotten so fucking angry watching a film before. This isn't even a film. The directing is horrible, the story's horrible, the musics grating on my nerves and horrible, the characters are shit. And don't give me that "oh it was an artistic decision" bullshit. It was a shitty fucking decision.

Also, a kid being a complete and total brat does not equal psychopathy. What were they thinking when they wrote half these scenes? He just jacked off and his mom walks in on him and he just turns to her, looks at her, and continues wanking with that smug ass face. What the fuck.

STM 03-29-2014 04:12 PM

Wait...you're supposed to stop when someone walks in on you?

Wings of Fire 03-29-2014 04:24 PM

You have no idea how badly I want to post a certain gif right now.

MA 03-29-2014 05:30 PM

do it! then we'll see it and have just seen it and thus it will be on topic.

i'm a genius. i should be a cheap lawyer.

OANST will be pissed. Also, I can kind of agree with your points. I loved the ending though.

Fuck. Disagree completely. Very well edited, very well paced, and an interesting study of how a mother and father's relationship with her potentially psychopathic child result in a horrendous school massacre and murder of other family members. How the parent's of these children are then treated thereafter.

I mean it raises really interesting questions. Like how much of it was the mother's fault versus how much was completely out of her hands, and how much the father's delusion and complete inaction contributed. Her relationship with the kid after was also really interesting to see. Particularly in the final scene.

The characters were interesting (particularly the mother) and it also had some fantastic visuals.

Pretty good movie all round I say.
