Just bought Barbarella - Queen of the galaxy. Pretty hot 'scifi' from the 60's.

Exellent movies. Thou would have changed the new punisher for the old one.

I saw Raging BUll. I thought it was a good movie but its sad, pretty much all biotopic movies are sad or end sad. I never really liked movies that made me feel depressed.

Its the type of movie that is pretty good but you dont want to see it again.

Yar, I was actually looking for a copy of the old one (Dolph is totally hawt), but I was unable to dig up one, so the new version had to suffice.

Couldn't watch the new punisher through. Old one has a 'tad' more desperation innit and NO FUCKING secunda 'rising star' shit actors. Also script is fairly good in the old one. New dosent have one.

I'd suggest atleast watching the fight scene between Frank and The Russian (Played by Kevin Nash). It's a good une.

I much prefer reading the vastly better fight scene in the comic book that the movie pretty much ruined. The Russian should have had dialog but that dumbfuck wrassler probably couldn't manage a bad Russian accent.

Is the new punisher story compiled from a comic serie or a single story?

Nicolai · Post by **Nicolai** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 11:46 am

A story arc by Garth Ennis.. From season 4 of the Punisher or something.

Anyway, the movie could have been pretty good, but some of the actors were a bit shitty, the fight scenes rather strangely shot, and the amount of gore severly disappointing.

Movies:
Just come off a bender of gourmet beers (Monteiths Winter Warming Ale, Celtic Red, not so gourmet--> Heineken, Stella Atois), Jack Daniels (w/coke --> OH the blasfemeee + shots), and cheap gin (Wilsons London Dry), and a remaster of Dario Argento's Deep Red and Tenebrae.
WAtching the former was rather surreal,; the sound track was only partially restored and the gaps were filled with Italian vox with Eng subs --> perhaps it added to the experience; my sotted mind complained not. Having actors proclaim alternately in extant pom and floral Aye-tai was disconcerting, but enhanced my virtual thinkoid stiffy in other regards.

Sounds:
Bitchin retro mofos like Candlemass are strokin the backs of my tender balls, pushing shivers up my spine like little 'nad-goblins gone a-tickling.
Oh, but if the mighty Judas Priest had heeded the same satanic advice.

Games:
A cliche that has been rid raw by by the very existence of certain internet nodes; but I be playing Fallout on my Win98 partition and have been experienceing the evil glee of gunning down innocents in extremis. Wanton sluts beware, my gun be overwrought with phallic expression.

I watched the movie Happiness with my dad I suggest you all do the same in some kind of blarghian disaster of uncomfortableness

vx trauma · Post by **vx trauma** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 3:08 pm

Happiness is a very uplifting and ÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¼berpositive film. Great choice for 1st date movie.

Geezus arsing kristos

All that faux-inteelekchewal shite...I musta been plenty waysted.

As I am now.

It's a Friday night and I am barely awake after the opleasures of Speight's Old Dark.

Movies: The Bicentennial Man.
Excuse me while I scoop up my half-digested lunch off the floor. Poor old Asimov (my fav ruskie/yank hybrid) must be oscillating in his grave. I was half hoping that nicey-nice android-d00d would get his kit off and teach little ms. cutesy android all about the h00man facts o' life. But no!, torrid sickly tear-jerking ensues.

Books: Refactoring to Patterns - Joshua Kerievsky
Oh, fiction ye say?
Children of the Mind - Orson Scott Card. I think the whole Ender's saga thang went to shit in the last volume, but I still gotta follow it to its fruition.

Music: Fu Manchu - Start the Machine (2004)
Every stoner should own this album. Every stoner rock listener should own this album. Every stoner rock lover should sell a small portion of his stash to own this album. 'Nuff said.

Thanks!. Well, 'tis only cos I'm waysted and have found myself abandoned and at home late on a Friday, but the sentiment is appreciated.

Now...I thinks I have me some Wilsons gin left over somewhere in my sekret stash.
Hmmm.

Same as in Unbreakable

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Fri Sep 09, 2005 7:17 pm

Well, with the difference that Bruce Willis was a super hero and The Russian was just, well um, Russian.

Shagnak, come back to the Codex! It's gone to the shits without your guiding hand!

The Codex was at some point not in the shits?
