I wish my boca burgers grilled themselves.

Strike Witch 04-12-2012 07:57 PM

I thought Farscape was boring.

Sekto Springs 04-12-2012 07:58 PM

I bet if it was animated by them slant-eyes you would'a dug on it.

T-nex 04-12-2012 08:05 PM

And I suggest guys dont stray too much from the topic unless you wish for infractions :)

on topic: Namtar is an awesome Villain in Farscape :p Dunno what OANST's beef with it is, but its really cool so far.

Edit: Oh I didn't notice Strike witch posted...



Strike Witch, we need to watch more Polar Bear Cafe :D Is second episode out?

I watched Evil Dead last night for the first time. It was pretty great, but not really quite as good as everyone has told me. The gore was satisfying, the atmosphere was well done and absorbing, but I didn't find the "villains" of the movie particularly interesting. I also don't think it was very scary, at all.

Overall, a good ol' horror movie. I still need to watch the sequels, and Army of Darkness.

I don't have a particular beef with it. I just agree with Strike Cunt. It's not a terrible show. It's just not terribly interesting either.

T-nex 04-13-2012 10:17 AM

I don't know. maybe i'm boring... But it seems like just my kind of show :p

Aliens, space chases, funny dialogue, Namtar, interesting villains... And it also seems innocently naive. Almost as if the plots were made by a kid, but then altered by an adult.

Dunno if that makes sense. But it just appeals to me. I'll watch Lexx too though if it's anything like Farscape ^^ And if its not like Star Trek.. Now Star Trek is a show that's way too boring for me. I mean, I can watch it sometimes, but it's just boring to me.

OANST 04-13-2012 10:20 AM

Lexx is like Farscape written by an insane pervert.

Okay now I'm interested.

That's ok, the imperfection is yours ;)

I watched Gamer last night 'cause it was on TV and I was bored. It's a below average movie but I didn't really mind watching it.

Dixanadu 04-13-2012 01:10 PM

I watched 'In Time'.

Kudos for Justin Timberlake for actually putting on a good performance. I wish they'd explained why time replaced money as currency though, unless it's an alternate-universe type of thing.

Who was the arsehead who told you the Evil Dead movies are scary? They're not. They're fucking riotous and awesome. I will say that the decomposition scene at the end of the first one is one of my favorite movie scenes ever. I would probably post it in the Favorite Movie Scenes thread if I weren't too lazy to find it on Youtube.

I will say there are a few concepts present in those films that I thought were kind of creepy. Such as the unseen force that chases Ash through the woods. They kind of ruined it in Evil Dead 2 though by showing what it looks like at the end. It makes a comeback in Army of Darkness though, and the sequence is epic.

What I fucking love about Sam Raimi as a director is his use of camera angles and lenses. Typically people don't even notice the utterly insane shit he does with his cameras unless you're a film geek like me. Let's just say that in order to get some of the shots in the first Evil Dead, he was hanging upside down from the ceiling by his knees. I highly recommend you listen to Bruce Campbell's commentary. He dishes out some awesome trivia, and he's also just funny as hell.

The titular character is a gigantic biomechanical space cock. There are tits akimbo. There are man-eating lizards. The main character went on the be The Drake

in Hobo With a Shotgun. It is a really, really weird show.

Nikki I don't really know about but you, Joe. You should have watched this a long time ago.

T-nex 04-13-2012 03:04 PM

I loved Evil dead... But my most favorite one was Army of Darkness... It was the first movie I ever saw of the series, and it was in Germany in.... German... oddly enough, I never missed out on much despite the language barrier(germans dub everything). It was funny as hell. One of my fave movies when I was young.


Edit: @ Mac... You have to take into consideration that I grew up and was raised in denmark.... Home of fucking live-under-a-rock... Well I lived under a rock.

scrabface 04-13-2012 03:14 PM

Raimi is a genius. that's why I was even more disappointed, when I saw the spiderman movies. although the first two are ok. 3rd one is a disaster.
But there was this one scene in the second one
ooooh there it was, Raimi for some seconds again and it was horrific
I remember sitting next to some guy in the cinema saying "whoa!" after that scene


Sekto Springs 04-13-2012 03:31 PM

Yeah, that was like the one scene in the whole movie where he went full-throttle Raimi on the cinematography. Fuckin' loved it.

Also, we can't be too mad at him for Spiderman 3. The amount of studio meddling on that one was overwhelming.

That film was over-the-top awesome.

The best line ever delivered by a skeleton in any form of media; "I GOT A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU!"

Absolute genious writing.

I don't think even Wakamoto could save it.

whats a Wakamoto? i want one.

It's an Otomakaw that runs backwards.

Angelina Jolie is not an attractive woman in any way shape or form. Her lips engulf the rest of her body, which reminds me of a cartoon alien with a sucker coming out of its head or something like that.

She Used to be pretty fit.

Sekto Springs 04-14-2012 09:33 AM

I don't think Jolie is hideous, but I don't think she's a paragon of aphroditic beauty. She was definitely cuter when she was younger. Now she's got this kind of Skeletor look going on.

Disgruntled Intern 04-14-2012 11:12 PM

Cabin in the Woods. Enjoyed the hell out of it. So much that when we were exiting the theater I told Dorian, "Well we pretty much have to buy this when it's out on DVD.."

That hasn't happened in..Shit, years.

Sekto Springs 04-14-2012 11:54 PM

I was originally really dubious when I saw the first couple of trailers, but I changed my tune after reading the synopsis. I was also a little pissed off, because I had a similar movie idea some years ago, but I'm 100% certain I never would have made it regardless so I'm glad somebody did.

The idea of the government housing all of the world's cliche horror monsters to be used for the exclusive purpose of being scary and evil is just such a great concept. Take a sledgehammer to the fourth wall, baby. I wouldn't be surprised if they had Slenderman somewhere down there too.

Disgruntled Intern 04-15-2012 12:20 AM

Your information is sort of wrong.

Sekto Springs 04-15-2012 09:17 AM

I'm going off of what the synopsis said. I still want to see it.

Mac Sirloin 04-15-2012 09:40 AM

I'm watching The Wire. For some fuckduppled reason I skipped the 3rd season on my last go-through so I just finished reviewing some choice episodes in the 2nd.
Herc and Carver bickering about getting no respect from the detail but always being the ones out really stomping heads in and doing the grunt work is actually something I didn't pick up on before. Which is weird, because it's kind of an essential plot point, but I didn't really pay attention last time I guess.
