Can you provide any examples of instances where CGI was used but it isn't noticeable? I know that sounds like an impossible task by definition, but I've watched behind the scenes materials on DVDs and the like, and pretty much every time someone says "Oh, and that apple flying through the air? That was CGI!" as if it's a revelation when it's already obvious makes me wonder if there's any CGI which has flown under my sweet radar.

I didn't know big CGI jobs were split amongst several different groups. That explains a lot. Still, with enormo-budget movies you'd expect at least a few scenes to look convincing, but they don't. So it's like "not bad CGI" and then a load of "really shit CGI" scenes.

I didn't offer up Romper Stomper as an example of a CGI film, but as an example of how even a tiny little 3 second blood smudge is beyond the capabilities of CGI artists. I'm not convinced that a big budget company would have done any better, because I've yet to see a big budget movie which featured CGI that didn't piss me off.

Your argument about Justice and its bass tone is poopy-farts with a side order of slippery willies. I wasn't saying that because Romper Stomper's meagre CGI scene sucks that we should just abandon the whole concept, I was saying that even a minuscule momentary fleeting flutter of CGI is instantly noticeable. Likewise, if the bass tone in most albums sucked I'd probably say what I've said about CGI - shelve that shit until you can do it right. As it stands, most albums don't have a shitty bass reputation like Justice does whereas every CGI film I've ever seen has sucked in the effects department, which makes this entire analogy a dodgy underhanded straw-man deception, the like of which I've come to expect from Zionist bunker-dwellers and their reptilian overlords from outer space.

I haven't seen Inception, and although Gladiator is 10 years old it sucked even at the time (effects-wise, at least), because I remember sitting in the cinema feeling a pang of irritation when I realised what I was in for. Huge grainy shimmery canvases with jaggy-edged buildings on them, and the actors with a very fine aura of weirdness around their outlines when they stand in front of said canvases, and Oliver Reed's big shimmery sand-face. It's bollocks, I tells ya!

Ah, but the thing is, it's not as though anybody who's actually good at the stuff is going to be brought in to put a trickle of blood on the forehead of somebody in the DVD re-release of Romper Stomper.

Since we're going by old things as well as new, I'll say that Terminator 2 had, and still has, some very convincing CGI, and that doing the same practically would have been more or less impossible. Compare it to some of the CGI from about the same time period in, say, Twin Peaks and you'll see what I mean. Which is more or less my point about Gladiator: you're very obviously cherry-picking bad CGI when your argument would become much stronger if you actually picked out good CGI.

Aside from that, you have probably been fooled by CGI in any number of establishing shots or camera pull-backs, 'helicopter shots' and what have you. Even more action sequences than seem to be accomplished by CGI are actually accomplished by CGI. The point is this: good CGI, at least of the type you seem to be asking for, doesn't draw attention to itself and isn't really noticeable enough for there to be good 'examples' of it.

Though to be honest most of the best instances of CGI are probably the most obvious, such as the monster from The Host, Gollum from Lord of the Rings, and King Kong from ... that movie whose name I can't recall from a few years ago. LOTR and King Kong both feature incredibly bad CGI sequences, but when it comes to the central characters the CGI is remarkably good, and capable of accomplishing much more than a guy in a suit would have. At that level of accomplishment, it's really just sour grapes - or, more favorably, personal preference - that would cause you to say it's not as good as practical effects. It's never going to look the same, but if you can't see the artistry in CGI on that level you're just being stubborn.

Now, whether or not the films themselves are very good is somewhat irrelevant to this discussion. Making the film with practical effects wouldn't make it any better, though.

In general, you'll get good CGI when you've got a director who's actually invested in using it, rather than using it as an expedient. Hence the reason that James Cameron gave us one of the best examples of good CGI almost 20 years ago.

I offered Gladiator as an example because it was the first one I thought of haha, I didn't choose it because it was particularly bad, CGI-wise. District 9 was pretty CGI heavy, and it's pretty modern, but at no point did I ever feel as if the aliens or their spacecraft were anything other than CGI; I clocked that shit immediately (in the case of the spacecraft I guess there was little chance of it being a physical model). It's probably some of the best CGI I've seen to date, but that's not saying much when I can still instantly spot it.

The sort of CGI you're talking about is fine by me, where you're basically splicing things together, touching things up or deleting certain things from the screen, etc. I can spot that shit sometimes, but if it's done right it can be pretty effective, and there's no reason I can see why it can't be done right if the requisite time and resources are given to the task. Gollum is an example of where CGI just doesn't work, regardless of the time/money/resources dedicated to it, and that's the kind of shit I'm talking about. Computer generated imagery, as opposed to simply using a computer for editing and superimposition or whatever. When whole sections of what we're seeing on-screen are generated entirely on computers it never, ever looks right. Worst of all is when an entire character is CGed, because the appearance isn't the only hurdle the designers face, it's also the animation and the facial expressions, which always look hackneyed.

I think practical effects in place of CGI could indeed make a film better - or at least more watchable - if only marginally. If there's less chance of me being distracted/irritated that can only make the experience a more positive one. The film itself might still suck, but I think expunging the crappy CGI from it might soften our aversion somewhat. It'd be one less thing for us to dislike about the film.

Terminator 2 had some bitchin' effects for its time, and I think this movie gets a pass (from handsome fuckers like me) because it was almost like a showcase for what CGI was capable of at the time it was made, and the effects were the main point of discussion when the movie was released. Because everyone was talking about how advanced it was we were actively looking for it for the entire movie and waiting to be wowed, so there was little chance of anyone complaining about it in the ways I have been in this thread ("I can see the strings!"). There was never any doubt that computers, and not make-up artists, were producing the effects we were seeing, but it didn't matter because that was the whole point. I don't think T2's effects have withstood the ravages of time, though.

I've got 1.5 litres of love for you right here baby

Oh boy.

Clive Barker recently stated that he's interested in writing and directing the remake himself. I doubt they'll let him, but that'd be the only way this movie could have any credibility.

BAHAHAHAHAHA if they do it this movie will be hilarious!!

It's not supposed to be relateable. The aim is not for everyone being friends in the end. The point is not to fit the audience's preconception. When I see Pinhead, I wanna feel the fear of the chains rattling down my neck. I want the horror of evil triumphing mashed into my face. I want the dirty, greedy little corners of the human existence, the ones that allow Mr. P and the cenos to enter this world, explored in all their gritty detail. I want to hate Pinhead but at the same time be forced to acknowledge that now and again he has a good point, he is a symbol of intellectual, sadistic evil.
So, the above was instead of me going out and hitting something real hard with a sledgehammer. I'm so boring at times.

Does anyone know why the cigarette rolling and lighting scene was truncated for the DVD release of Freaks? The first time I saw the film was on TV soon after the ban was lifted, and I saw the Human Torso roll the cigarette as well as light it but the DVD I bought doesn't contain the rolling part. According to Wikipedia the rolling seen exists but wasn't included on any "commercial" release. Why the fuck not? That was what made the scene so significant. I reckon even I could light a cigarette without using my hands!

I don't think the footage could have been lost or damaged, because like I say I saw it on the telly, so there must exist somewhere a complete version of the scene.

Bobbi, did they show the rolling of the cigarette on TCM in October?

bthoom, I didn't have my tape wound back far enough unfortunately. I remember I did see it the first time I saw it. Maybe there's a couple versions floating around.

So, I just saw the movie Re-animator from 1985. Well, kinda, I just sometimes like to keep a movie running in the background when studying. And yes, I'm going to be a scientist. Be very afraid.

Anyhow, I found myself just sitting and staring in a kind of awe at the last ten minutes or so. Point is, I do pride myself on having an active and creative imagination, but never, ever, do I think I would be able to come up with a tentacle made out of entrails slinging out of a persons stomach to strangle someone, all the while the cracked rib cage is flinging like the old cliche western bar doors. This following a re-animated, decapitated, corpse tongue raping a naked woman strapped to a dissection table. Did I mention that said corpse used the re-animated, and subsequently lobotomized, corpse of the woman's father to kidnap her? He did, you know.
And here's the thing, why I keep watching these movies - I want to know who the fuck thinks these types of things up. And where exactly do you draw the line between entertainer and someone to be locked up for sanitary reasons?

Someday I plan to throw a party with body part themed food.

Yep, I've seen it. Actually, I've stocked up pretty damn well on those types of movies, merely for the sake of said fascination. I honestly, as a general rule, don't like 'em. Usually I'm just bored, sometimes a slight tad irritated, extremely seldom a little bit disturbed. It's the same kind of fascination that might induce me to bring some equipment just to measure how much energy you could harness from the stream floating by my parent's farm.

Hellraiser being, for some reason, an exception.

Pete Postlethwaite - the only actor to have ever done a convincing Northern Irish accent - died yesterday.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Postlethwaite

Besides In the Name of the Father, The Usual Suspects and the British TV series Sharpe I don't remember seeing much of him, but the little I did see of him clearly left an impression otherwise I wouldn't bother mentioning his death.

Yea, I heard about that guy dying. Sucks. Didn't know his name really, just recognize him from a few movies. He was also an Irish mobster in The Town, or just Town..whatever it was.


Just watched Videodrome. It was an entertaining movie. Seemed like it kinda ended abruptly without really telling you what was happening, but I kinda like that part about it. Fortunately, doesn't seem like anyone made a sequel, and don't think it would work if they did. The movie is from 1983, so it would have to be some random asshole if anyone took a stab at it.

There's a new 2 hour documentary out about Lemmy called "Lemmy", featuring Lemmy. I was quite excited to see it despite hating Motörhead and unkempt bassists, but after about 5 minutes you've seen the entire fuckin' movie. A summary:

* Lemmy is the biggest influence on every metaller that's ever existed after Lemmy's first album, and will continue to influence metallers for the next 3 or 4 thousand years.

* Every band interviewed about Lemmy essentially said the same thing: "I'd like to suck Lemmy's cock, and I'd like for him to tell me how shit I am in comparison to him, a criticism I'd gladly agree with what with Lemmy being better than me and everyone else by definition." The weirdest thing is, I know for a fact that many of these guys have their own fathers.

* Lemmy is so REAL! He's so fucking REAL! He says it like it is and doesn't no take shit from nobody no how, but he's actually a lovely guy if you get to know him and he quite likes one of his sons.

* He's definitely NOT a Nazi, he just likes the uniforms, knives and tanks.

* He has a special boot-maker who makes his boots to his hand-drawn specifications.

* He can't cook chips (fries).

* Lemmy's favourite bands and biggest influences are The Beatles, Buddy Holly and Little Richard, and he prefers to listen to them in mono.

* He drinks a lot, and on numerous occasions has drank more than other people who were drinking with him at the same time. Sometimes his drinking and drug abuse got in the way of stuff he had to do.

* He understands women in ways most people don't by his unique and novel approach to learning about them - by not being anywhere near them for more than a day or so.

There, you just saved yourself 2 fuckin' hours.

That's harsh. That bad, eh?

The trailer for that movie looks awesome, I love mob movies/mob based movies.

Movies I've Currently Watched and must give an A+ to(Watched within the past week):

Road to Perdition(2002) - How in hell did I ever miss this? I never thought Tom Hanks could pull it off, him in a mob movie. He proved me wrong. It's worth the watch guys.

Donnie Brasco(1997) - Was a good watch, Johnny Dep proved him self with Al Pacino in this. It's about Donnie Brasco the FBI agent who got into the mob.

Raging Bull(1980) - Robert De Niro was the main actor in this flick. It was good but at the same time odd. About a boxers life during the 1930-40's.

The Expendables - Takes me back to the old 1980's real men only watch this flick. Sylvester Stallone help direct/make this movie and I know we have all seen the previews lately. It has all old and new school action guys.

Movies I'm going to watch:
Shutter Island(2009-2010)
Carlito's Way (1993)
On The Waterfront (1954)
State Of Grace(1990)

I also watched another movie this week and it gets and F stay away from it everyone:

Resident Evil After Life - Horrible, really at one point the franchise was going good, the movie's were actually decent action flicks. This right here turned an A list movie into a B list movie, even lower than that at some points. While watching it you get the sense there was never a true plot, and that its the same old same old, trust me there was no reinventing the wheel with this movie. Stick with the video game franchise....

__________________

Not necessarily "bad". It's certainly not bad if you've never seen this kind of documentary before and if you also love Lemmy, but that's where the problem lies - I have seen films like this before, and they're invariably made of the same wretched circle-jerking shite. It's not so much a documentary as a propaganda film, you know? I feel icky when I watch people get on their knees and present their keen faces like big smiling cum-buckets (figuratively speaking of course; I quite like when they do it for real) and I feel like I've been conned into watching a series of eulogies about a still-living dick.

FUCK! I just remembered, there actually IS a eulogy about Lemmy from one of the interviewees, who says something like "when he does die I imagine we won't be sad about the loss, we'll instead just get together and remember the good times we had" and the fucker looks like he's on the verge of tears as he says it. Jesus fuck, I wouldn't even say that sort of shit about my own family whom I love dearly.

Carlito's way is certified badass.

So I didn't know there was a prequel until your post. Looked it up and ones I saw P Diddy starred in it I would never even watch it.

I actually downloaded it accidentally thinking it was the original, but I decided to stick with it anyway, I had fuck-all else to watch. I made it about 15 minutes in, at which point my balls started to melt. Jay Hercuntez should stick to being tortured by Eastern Bloc psychopaths, at least in Hostel the audience gets rewarded by watching the fucker weep and bleed.

Gummo is an interesting film. Unfortunately it wasn't interesting enough to warrant a more substantive comment, except that it confirms my point that that blonde lassie whom everyone seems to think is hawt looks like she was talent-scouted from the front window of a green grocer's.

The Town was definitely a good film. Saw it in theaters. For some reason it reminded me of Taken.

Watched Black Swan last night. It was fucking amazing, enjoyed it much more than The Fountain or The Wrestler. Though, I'm not looking forward to Darren's next film. :/

Weird trailer. Sorta seemed like a chick flick, but then not. I'll check it out and give a review, good post.

Just caught Planet Terror. Well, I was entertained. I especially like the way the director and special effects department manage to create a universe where the human body is held together by staples, chewing gum and a fuckload of cool things to spray the surrounding countryside with.
Shelton and McGowan both looking irresistibly alluring, in their varying states of progressing psychosis and evolving crusdermal offensive capabilities, respectively. I always find women dishing out heaps of lead and pain in horror movies so much more inspiring than the ones screaming and getting rescued/horribly slaughtered. Granted, the pain pumping ones also get horribly slaughtered, now and then, but at least I feel like I can sympathize with the splatter of zombie feed instead of just feeling the usual boredom creep like premature necrosis through my brain.
It had Bruce Willis in it too. Can't go wrong with that. [Image of Willis in a pink rabbit costume skips by] OK, you can go wrong with that, but I think they installed GPS for this movie.
Oh yea, props to Rodriguez for having a kid shoot himself in the face, make it blatantly obvious that the kid was going to shoot himself in the face, and have me be pretty OK with it. Damn did that brat manage to establish himself as fucking annoying in an impressively short time span.

I was entertained, and felt a bit inspired. /Rant.

Haha shit man, that's not good. I got a letter about 8 or 9 years ago and haven't gotten one since. Do you take any precautions when you download shit? My letter was specifically about the Mickey Rourke movie "Angel Heart". A good film, but if I'm gonna get busted I'd rather it was for something with a little more prestige, like Spaceballs.

I highly recommend Usenet if you don't already use it. It's anonymous (mostly) and the only people who are in any danger of getting busted are the guys who upload the shit and run the websites. It's not Peer-to-Peer, so there are no snooping movie companies making notes of your IP address and the websites themselves don't keep logs. The only downside is that it's not free, but it's like a month's subscription for the price of a single DVD or album, and you always download at your maximum connection speed. Not too shabby.

Really I thought it was sorta "safe", but shit happens, I was kind of getting ballsy with it before leaving work downloading like 5-7gigs worth of a movies at night. Not to mention the guy in the other room was doing the same. Our ISP might have noticed our high volume of downloads and went WTF?

Thanks for the Usenet info I'll be sure to check in on it.

The guy in the other room didn't have one of his movies flagged. It was all me "Harry Potter the new one" and "True Grit" got me busted.

You mind PMing me a link to Usenet?

Details in the Computer Software & Hardware thread

I just watched one of the best grief porn documentaries I've ever seen. If you know nothing about the story and the people involved don't read up about it, just watch the film first, because even a brief synopsis might inadvertently deflate the effect of the film beforehand. And be sure to watch it all the way through, because I was considering turning it off assuming it to be a typical "murdered friend memorial tearfest" but I was actually saying "fuuuuuuuuck me" out loud at several points later in the film. The film is Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father, aka Your Father's Murderer: A Letter to Zachary. It's basically a film addressed to the newborn child (Zachary) of a murdered man with interviews with the victim's family and friends, all in aid of giving the kid some idea of who his dad was, because obliviously he'll never meet him. That's all you need to know, so watch it before researching it any further.

I also recently watched Grizzly Man, another documentary about some dead cunt made by Werner Herzog. In this case the guy pretty much had it coming. Fucking prick. A good film, though; tastefully done, if a little bit heavy on the "ain't living life to the max just swell?" ickiness. I was rather pleased that Herzog resisted the urge to play the audio tape which captured the man's brutal death for everyone to hear, even though I would love to hear it myself, but pretty much any other hack director would have mortgaged his house if he could use the cash to have the tape played in the film, so kudos to Herzy McHerz. The most interesting aspect of the film, however, is how Herzog relates to the dead fucker on the level of a fellow film-maker. You can see this film on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFyaiqDXD2U

I finally caught that one a few months back and I enjoyed it too. I felt the film gave some incredible insight into the fucked-up mind of whats-his-face. Also agreed that, as much as I'd like to hear that footage, I respect that decision to not release it to the public. It must be fucking brutal.

Been on a Hitchcock binge recently as I got a bunch for Christmas, I think about 5 or 6 in all. I've seen a few of them already but I hadn't seen Rear Window which I watched the other night. It was fucking great. His ability to shoot an entire movie in one small room yet keep it fascinating and artistic is so awesome.

__________________

I really want to get into the Hitchcock-era greats, but every time I try I'm immediately repelled by the extremely cunty acting of that period. It's invariably hammier than Kermit's cock and is just so irritating that I find it nearly impossible to watch without consciously adopting a "must persevere out of respect for its historical significance" mindset, which is something I'd rather not do outside of a classroom. I sometimes wish I wasn't such a fuckwit.

I quite like the acting from that era, especially some of the stronger male leads. Yeah, it can seem a bit over-dramatic sometimes, but, whatever, as long as I don't feel like I'm watching a high school rendition of The Crucible.

__________________

I don't usually mind low-rent acting, but the extremely overblown melodrama of pre-60s cinema - which is admittedly a period in which escapism was what everyone was after - is too thick for me to penetrate. Or rather, I'm too thick for it to penetrate.

I've been thinking about Dear Zachary awhile since I posted about it, and I think my characterisation of it as grief porn is actually pretty fair. If you read the reviews of the film (don't until you've seen it) you'll generally read shit like "Need a good cry? Rent Dear Zachary!".

The film is receiving accolades all over the place and the accolades apparently stem from two things. The first is the fact that it's pretty upsetting to watch, and you can't help but tear up over it. Presumably evoking this kind of reaction from viewers is evidence of fine film-making, as opposed to simply showing dozens of people weeping on-screen one after the other. The second is the way the director has staged each part of the documentary; he doesn't just tell you what happened to his friend, he instead sets it up in such a way that it's like you're watching a twist movie. You learn things that you weren't expecting, and it's presented very cinematically, as if it's fiction and you're being kept on the edge of your seat. The director wants to make you as upset and teary as possible by continually pulling the rug from under you. Which is fine, and it's effective, but I think it cheapens the reality of these people's lives and their harrowing story a great deal. It's transparently sensationalised, in other words.

The purpose of the film - beyond providing a memorial for the victim so that his son will know something of him - has been to have certain bail laws changed, so I can understand the reasoning behind making it as explosive as possible, but I still feel as if I've indulged in some high quality grief porn, and now I feel dirty and manipulated, so much so that I need to go and have a wank.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be seeing that one.

Give Hitchcock another go. You don't even enjoy Psycho?

I've had very few disturbing dreams. I mean, I've had a ton of what people might call nightmares, but none of them really frightened me terribly. Most of them involve me being stabbed to death by some extremely angry man or repeatedly envenomated by various snakes, but none of those dreams leave me with a panicked or terrified feeling. I honestly feel annoyed both during the dreams and when I wake up later, almost like, "why the fuck are you stabbing me, asshole?" or "letting that snake bite me once, fine, but how could I be so stupid to let it get me THREE times?!"

On the other hand, I have been absolutely terrified in much more benign, stupid dreams. One dream I was standing on small, rocky outcrop in the middle of the Taunton River in Weir Village. For some reason, I was overcome with terror in this scenario. I was about 19 when I had that one, and the scenario was very vivid and quite close to how the area really looked back then.

Just a couple of months ago, I had another extremely vivid one. I awoke to the sound of my bedroom door opening and yelled, "get the fuck out, Bella" at my brother's extremely ugly dog. I roll over all look up and there is this 50ish year old white guy, very tall, about 6'5 or 6'6", with a lanky build. He was reaching up to my filing cabinet for a can of antiperspirant while also heading toward me to bash me over the head with it. I reached for a machete that I sleep with (platonic, of course) and he scrambled to get out of my room and down the stairs. The scary part was that I tried so hard to get out of bed and catch him and just couldn't do anything further than sit up. I woke up a few minutes later. The thing that made that dream so scary was that everything in it was 100% real except the 50 yr. old guy. The layout of my bedroom, the antiperspirant, my filing cabinet, the machete on my bed... all 100% real and exactly as they look in real life. As comparison, most of my dreams are 100% fantastic and unrealistic and involves very little of my real life.

I've only had one dream where I might have killed someone else. I was abnormally young for such a dream and the thing that stands out about it the most is how much it fit with things I would later learn about the way people kill each other. At this point I had never listened to death metal, saw a horror movie, read books about serial murder, or watched tons of true story forensic investigation shows. I had little to go on and it was quite realistic. I didn't actually kill the person anywhere in the dream, but it was always assumed by me that I was responsible.

Honestly, I think every description I've ever heard of bad dreams falls short of one I had a year or so ago. It went like this:
I woke up, for real. Then I almost instantly went back to sleep, but didn't realize. Instead I dreamt that I started getting up. Just before sitting up, I woke up for real again. Rinse and repeat. Over and over and over. And somewhere around the third inning I actually realized what was going on, but it was like trying to cold start a car with a bad battery, I couldn't break the loop, wake up, get my body to obey anything I told it to do. Instead it was just this constant motion of trying to get up and feeling like something kept pulling me back. It wasn't until I quite forcefully managed to roll/throw myself out of bed and hit the floor that it stopped. FUCK.

But, back to thread. Want good fodder for dreams? Take a look-see through Bruno Mattei's filmography. It's not that it's scary, but it's... strange. Like, after watching one of 'em you almost wish you were catholic so you could go tell someone that you saw it, and that you're sorry.
SS-girls is pretty entertaining, though, kind of. You sure will know what a swastika looks afterwards.

Haha, I googled "ss-girls" to see a preview and I found this. "Private House of the SS". Don't worry if you forget the title, it only randomly appears about 15 times throughout the boob-infested preview.

I had a dream that I had been shot, but in the dream I was my current age remembering being shot as a kid, and I was looking at the old scar and thinking back on the incident. When I woke up I was so convinced by it that I checked for the scar, and then I remembered that bullets wounds are things only sissies and Iraqis get.

When I was a kid I had several dreams about my dad murdering me. There was one where he had a huge red wrench and was chasing me through a derelict house to bludgeon me to death, and I climbed onto the burnt-out roof to hide from him, and my younger brother and mum were standing on the grass outside pleading for him to stop, then I woke up. I think that particular dream means I'm going to win the lottery at some point. Either that or I'm feeling a lot of guilt for wanting to eat my mother's pussy and it manifested itself as a dream about my dad savagely deepthroating me with his massive, beetroot-red erection.

Movies...something about movies...

We're due two movies this year about Richard Kuklinski, aka The Iceman. One starring Mickey Rourke and the other starring Michael Shannon in the lead role. There's a screen test for the Shannon version here:

Looks promising. Not much info on the Rourke one, though.

Oh yeah? Well I had a dream where I murdered a girl I went to boarding school with. I decapitated her and put the head in a garbage bag and buried it in the soccer field. When I woke up in the morning at first I thought I had really killed her because the dream was so real. Couldn't shake the feeling of "Oh fuck what am I going to do" for a couple minutes. I can't remember if I killed her in the dream because I thought she was a demon, or if I killed her for a satanic ritual to summon a demon.

You gotta stop eating those dodgy cookies Bobbi's been sending you.

Hey, I saw that. I wouldn't do that to anyone.

When I was 4 or 5 I went as a Killer Tomato for Halloween. My mother made the custom. I was awesome.

Heh, head-hunter. AREN'T WE ALL?

One of my favorites. Hope he's doing well, too.

OH YES, I still have it stored safe and sound in me browser's history folder. And should that ever be lost, there's a copy here. On one of my unconnected computers. IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY!

Last week The Big Lebowski was playing on some movie channel. I decided to watch it (I had never seen it before) but I only got to see 20 minutes of it because I had to go out. From what I saw it seemed like a pretty funny film. Is it worth seeing in its entirety?

__________________

Yeah, its a great. Definitely worth seeing the entire thing so rent or download it. Its one of those movies that I've seen at least 10 times and never get bored of it. Whenever its on I always watch it.

__________________

Yeah, its a classic, watch it. I thought it was just alright, but don't let that deter you.

__________________

Awesome. Yeah I'll definitely rent it the next time I'm near a video shop. I don't download films, only because I hate watching them on my computer lol.

__________________

I usually like watching movies/shows on my computer because if I get bored I can fuck around on some website. And I don't have a TV or any furniture, would be nice one day though. Instead of getting junk food residue on my keyboard and my cock, it would just be my cock, and who gives a fuck what that thing smells like right?

Haha. Just remember, never get a tube of Bengay mixed up with a tube of lube if the lights are off, or this will be your face.

I hate watching movies on my computer, too. Maybe if I had a better set up/bigger screen it'd be alright but fuck that.

Alright, so what really happens when you put Bengay on balls? Just burns?

No man, it feels amazing. You should buy some and try it. The rage is from how good it feels.

Bengay is for pussies. Your should be using Tiger Balm for your testicular needs.

Yeah Dyldo, try it. Be sure to film your reaction so we can all see how much you enjoyed it

Hobo with a Shotgun wasn't bad. Pretty funny, and plenty of over-the-top gore. It's another one of those movies that started out as a fake trailer which played during the opening of the Grindhouse movies, just like Machete. Rutger Hauer plays the eponymous hobo, but pretty much everyone else is a relative unknown. Worth watching.

Shit, you actually watched Hobo With a Shotgun?? That was exclusively filmed in my city of Dartmouth/Halifax. Some of my friends are in the movie. haha, I know the director personally..he was a good friend of my older brothers and they made a bunch of movies in film class in high school!

I haven't seen the movie after hearing a lot of not-so-great reviews. I loved the original trailer though.

I watched The Diving Bell And The Butterfly. Great film.

Haha that's pretty cool, you should pass on my congratulations to them, it's a fun movie and I'd watch it again for sure.

You should watch it, too. It's retarded, but that's half the fun.

"Kiri kiri kiri kiri kiri" is now more iconic to me than "me love you long time".

Lord of the Rings sucks. I haven't even seen it, yet I know it sucks. Also, midgets no longer get me stiff. Nor do fat, bearded Aussies.

Fuck J "I Shot JR" Tolkien and the heavily armoured horse he rode in on.

I could never get into the LotR movies or book, either.
