  1. Well, there is a rumor given at the very beginning when the two girls are talking. I'm personally not sure I buy that. I think that the daughter(Sadako?) created the tape with her hatred or something. I don't really know. Maybe it got cursed by her or something just before she died. Actually, if anyone knows enough about the movie that they could explain the various symbols and whatnot ie the alteration or the pictures so you see the victim with the hood over their head and whatnot, I'd greatly appreciate it, as they fly right over my head.
  2. I think ADV has the rights to Reboot, so you might want to check and see if they released the DVDs. Some places(including the Best Buy I work at) put just about anything ADV in anime, and that has included Gamera, Yokai Monsters, and Mutant X.
  3. Awwww....poor Hamas...the only thing getting worse is the sick philosophy of "kill the Jews" that continues to spread in the holy land. Get that wall built, and fortify it with tanks, that's about the only thing that might help... First off, Hamas deserves no sympathy. I'm simply saying oh, that the suicide bomber pool seems to be running a bit dry. Good thing. The wall won't help though. It's just ticking off even more people. And I don't think tanks will help when you have people hiding TNT or whatever they're using under their jackets.
  4. Well, yes it is. Up until now they had apparently considered(Hamas, that is) that suicide bombing is a job for only men, so either this is the sickest sexual revolution in the world, or things are getting so much worse for either Hamas or the women that they'd do this.
  5. Oh God, now Tazz is becoming JR, Tajiri has "educated feet"
  6. Good to hear, I keep seeing it and thinking about gfetting it(the future stars one)
  7. She blew up some checkpoint or another, I honestly am not very good with locations. My source is the BBC, by the way. My local NPR station broadcasts the News Service at times during the day. We need to get in there and really force these people to talk peace, because this will only get worse the longer it goes on. People are suicide bombers only out of desperation or madness, and I don't this there are that many crazy people in the Israel/Palestihne area.
  8. I've read that The Adventures Of Cookie and Cream is a good date game, but I'm a Cube owner myself.
  9. Ditto. Now if only they'll get around to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That would make unbelieveable amounts of money and continue my collecting of kung fu and kung fu related viedos
  10. I'm sorry, i posted this in the wrong topic, could someone please move it?
  11. I think Eddie has the best text book frog splash, but I prefer the Lo Down myself.
  12. It's Zombie Chun Li! That was my first reaction. Jeez, she IS taking that gimmick WAY too seriously.
  13. Paul London? Also Matt Hardy, Shannon Moore, and the Hurricane
  14. Cena's DVD, pathetic as it is, is still better than bulldog into the Worm
  15. If there had to be an FBI, go with Nunzio, although I think they're missing the boat with the whole gimmick as I loved the ECW FBI as presented as Wrestlepalooza '97. That's the only ECW show I have so i don't know if they changed over time.
  16. They were apparnetly huge in Japan, and then did something that very few do, and release a US CD. This turned out to be "An Illustrated History," and contained their greatest hits, along with one song in English, A Love So Pure(the second track, Asia No Junshin, or True Asia, is supposed to be an English reworking of the song, but midway through it sounds to me like they're either singing gibberish or in Japanese, being that I can't speak Japanese I don't know). I on;y discivered this neat little band because my library happened to have that CD. Then I found out that they released a second US CD, Nice, and well, I got both. I like An Illustrated History better myself, but if anyone has caught this, i'd love to hear your opinion. Also, if you find this and like Jpop, I would highly reccomend it.
  17. I also gave up on Super Mario Sunshine. It jut didn't have that Mario feel for me and the secret levels PLAIN OUT SUCK.
  18. At the end of El Mariachi, when he goes to kiss the supposedly dead Domino, but she smiles when he does it.
  19. I read somewhere that Paul London ued that in RoH, can anyone confirm that?
  20. Does Sukie Tempesta show up in another novel besides Cold Fall? That's the only Bond novel i've read, and I can't recalls seeig her in any of the movies I've seen.
  21. Wow, thats quite the blanket statement. First, Diz had been playing since the 40's and teamed up with Charlie Parker in the more traditional bebop style. Miles originally played with Bird (Parker) and his first few albums were bebop styled shit (Birth of the Cool) then he moved onto the Kind of Blue sessions with John Coltrane which moved away from bebop. In and around Kind of Blue, he produced orchastra pieces with Gil Evans - Porgy and Bess, and Sketches of Spain which were a lot different from his bebop style. Davis' work with Coltrane signalled the solo career of the tenor player. Coltrane eventually moved into much more spiritual, improvisational, and avant-garde styles (A Love Supreme and Meditations) that would become more "modern". But was much much much much different than Diz...or even Davis' work up to that point. Davis eventually accepted more electric aspects of his music and released In a Silent Way...and later the greatest selling jazz album (Bitches Brew) which signalled the rise of fusion music. So tell me, how is Diz a modern artist? Most hardcore jazzaphobes consider the bebop genre that Parker and Gillespie championed during the 40's and 50's as the definitve style, but considering its orgins were conceived nearly 80 years ago doesn't make it modern. And a career as prolific as Davis' surely didn't always fit the caption of being "modern". Coltrane could be argued that he is more modern with his unique style. If anyone wants to get into jazz music, start at Miles Davis. Check out the essential albums (Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain, Birth of the Cool, Bitches Brew) and see who he worked with. From there, there is a ridiculously entangled relationship of great jazz artists who all played together at one time or another. Generations are connected through Davis from the 30's and 40's up until today. Hence I put modern in quotes. I recently took a jazz class and he referred to the bebop, cool, and funky styles as modern jazz. He didn't have enough time to get into fusion. But, and I admit I'm not the closest follower of jazz, but when most people think of jazz these days, they usually think of either swing or cool. But I'm picking nits here, it's good music, can we at least agree on that?
  22. Instead, it made one of the better early N64 games
  23. So does whoever did Taker's second boker theme, but it still got used. Limp Bizkit or whoever
  24. I would be okay with(if not exactly a fan of) his Christian gimmick except for the reasons mentioned above. And I'm a Roman Catholic. If he wants to thank God for ever time he can get his leg up for the Sweet Chin Music, that's his thing, but he is still referred to as the Heartbreak Kid, and he still comes out to Sexy Boy, both of which aren't terribly in line with what I was taught in my religon classes. They could stop calling him that, and they could give him differant music if he really wanted to go through with it, they did it for D-Von.
