Other than "Hollow Man", every Sci-Fi movie Paul Verhoeven has done is awesome.

Love and Hate. That's all you need to do if you are going to do it. Otherwise, it's a horrible idea.

Takishi Miike has already done it, and the guy who directed the Saw sequals has plans on doing one. Those guys would focus on the suspense & gore aspect but Burton is on a island onto himself it would be surreal, trippy, dark, and overall weird. Miike's is pretty trippy, dark and surreal in itself. I don't remember if it's that gory.

Hotbutter's schikt (sic?) got tired after a while, so I really don't miss him. I never thought he should have been banned though. I have nothing else to add except that I love Ripper's avatar.

Congratulations, you pulled a Godwin! Look Jingus, nobody liked Saddam. That's no excuse for the war. We've fucked up, civilian and soldier deaths continue to rise, we may have made an eventual Iraqi civil war worse (as Edwin said), and the list goes on. So yeah, you aren't convincing anybody.

Frank Zappa-Waka/Jawaka Slayer-Reign in Blood Aphex Twin-Richard D. James Album I thank this board for letting me discover and get into me into Zappa's instrumental stuff.

"Hush" is my favorite song of theirs, though there are others ("Highway Star","Perfect Strangers", Speed King") All I have of the band is a best of album.

Nitzer Ebb - "Fun To Be Had"

I remember reading the book when I was in highschool, so I'm looking forward to it. Also, I have to read it this week for a class, which brings a smile to my face.

Because I thought it was fucking terrible. A generic Hollywooded-up version of what felt so creepily different in the original. Also, faithful? It retained "Leatherface, cannibal family, teenagers dying, Texas" and then pretty much made it up as it went along, especially that godawful ending. For that matter, what's with the love for Halloween 2? I thought it completely lacked everything that made the first movie so great, and was basically a Friday the 13th flick with a different mask. Especially the ridiculous finale, where they went so over the top in Wile Coyote-ing Michael to death that I never once bought that he could've lived through it. Speaking of "Friday the 13th", there's going to be a remake of that as well in the future. Michael Bay is producing it, and the director of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" will be directing it. I didn't like the TCM remake, or it's prequal. I would however, dare to say the prequal is better than the remake because it 1.) actually brought in the family dynamic that the remake was lacking, 2.) reminds you that the family are cannibals (something the remake forgot to do), and 3.) contained some dark humor reminiscent of the original and the first sequal. It still got a lot wrong (the Vietnam subplot feels pointless, R.Lee Ermey is the main villain instead of Leatherface, Leatherface becomes another deformed serial killer who was bullied as a kid, among other things) but it's still better than the remake IMO. There are actually horror movies that I would like to see remade ("Squirm", "Hell of the Living Dead", and a few others)

IIRC, it's a Korean monster movie set in Los Angeles that broke all of the Korean box office records. It's gotten mixed reactions so far. I'll probably see it. I saw "Death Sentence" yesterday, and suprisingly liked it. It's not perfect (Kelly Preston gives a pretty bad performance), but it's better than James Wan's last movie ("Dead Silence") Kevin Bacon does a pretty good job.

5 favorite albums of the moment 5.) Henry Mancini-Mr. Lucky (Goes Latin) 4.) Steroid Maximus-Gondwanaland 3.) Can-Ege Bamyasi 2.) 23 Skidoo-The Gospel Comes to New Guinea 1.) Miles Davis-On The Corner

-Yeah, happy labour day. Just don't whine over it and enjoy it while you can. -Anyways, since it's labour day, all the stores and such on campus are closed. I'll be headed to a store later on (probably Meijer) to get an alarm clock. Oh, and classes start tomorrow, so wish me luck. -Hugo Chavez is starting to win my heart, though not because of his policies or the fact that he's pretty much going to fuck up Venezuela. It's because he's insane to the point of comedy. Really, at this point, he comes off more as a goofy cartoon villain, and it's a riot. He's like some kind of heel you'd find in pro wrestling. Here's a great quote from the Something Awful forums: -The new Halloween is the top movie in the box office. I saw it in a preview screening, and it's pretty much a disaster. You can read about my thoughts on it in the Movies & TV board. Anyways, what the fuck were ya thinking Rob? The Devil's Rejects was an impressive little movie, yet you fucked this up. Oh, and why the fuck did you make Michael Myers more human? He's not supposed to be that way. He's supposed to be an evil, unstoppable, unreasonable force. He's the boogieman, not just another serial killer. Yeah, that's all for now. Next time: the 5 worst/lamest forms of pornography today.

Oh yeah, the guy who wrote and directed "Dead Hate the Living" (who went on to co-write "House of the Dead" and "All Souls Day") was supposed to do it. Nothing came out of it, and it never got made. To me, the Halloween fanchise was pretty much dead the second they included the Thorn Cult bullshit.

I'm also a Sub-Zero fan. I beat a lot of guys with him in MK 2. Ah, the good old days...

That would be the greatest thing ever.

New trailer for Dario Argento's "The Third Mother", the long awaited final chapter of the "Thee Mothers" trilogy. It'll be a part of the Toronto International Film Festival, along with George Romero's "Diary of the Dead."

I pretty much knew "Halloween" would take the top spot. Too bad it wasn't any good, though at least an R-rated horror movie took the top spot.

Takishi Miike has already done it, and the guy who directed the Saw sequals has plans on doing one.

Sucks: Van Halen-Poundcake So bad, it's not good. Doesn't Suck: I love this video. He sure loves costumes.

Napalm Death reference=awesome.

Steroid Maximus - "¡Quilombo!"

Oh don't be so suprised. Also, didn't William Gibson write the screenplay for Johnny Mnemonic?
