  1. Eh, there's several reasons why 4chan is called the asshole of the internet.
  2. The Giallos Flame-"Profondo Giallo"

    Anticipation '08

    Mu Bloody Valentine is supposed to be getting together for a few festivals (most likely something like Cohella), but that's all I've heard. New Portishead? Sweet.
  4. Karlheinz Stockhausen is dead.
  5. Nitzer Ebb-"Join in the Chant"
  6. Mike Patton to Voice creatures in "I Am Legend" Interesting
  7. Escape from LA was just ok. Not horrible, but could have been so much more. Instead it became a remake of the first movie. Also, you put Pam Grier in your movies, but don't do anything with her? Come on John.
  8. There may be a hair in your food, but there's a tear in my beer.
  9. The room is spinning...
  10. I wish I hadn't remembered that.
  11. Funny, I though the season one episode of Masters of Horror (Cigarette Burns) was the best episode of the series. "ProLife" though, is definately the worst though, and pissed me off to no end. His last good movie was "In the Mouth of Madness."
  12. That's right, lets talk about the movies of John Carpenter. It doesn't matter if it's Halloween, Big Trouble in Little China, The Thing, They Live, Prince of Darkness, hell even his Masters of Horror Episodes. To start: Escape from New York has a really bad ass cast.
  13. Is slowly becoming one of my favorite posters.
  14. There's bad movies, and then there's WWE Films. Ok, I take that back: "The Rundown" was pretty fun. This one is no Rundown though. It's mearly a poor man's "Battle Royale" with a tacked on moral message. The plot: A new reality show exclusive to the internet has been created by a bigshot Hollywood producer (Robert Mammone). The show puts 10 people on death row on an island, and gives them 30 hours to live. Among the contestants: Jack Conrad (Steve Austin, who does an good job), whose like, got a family you know; and McStarley (Vinnie Jones, who steals the show), who's the sick villain you love to hate. Oh, and there's some message about how violence is wrong. That's right, WWE is telling you that violence is wrong. What could have been a decent action movie is ruined by some poor performances, stereotypes, overly realistic violence (World Wrestling Entertainment is making a STATEMENT!), a generic soundtrack (come on, Nickleback? Though Grame Revell's score is competant), preachiness, and more. While Austin, Jones, and Masa Yamaguchi do commendable jobs, the rest of the cast is a poorly written blend of dumb kids weened on violent video games (World Wrestling Entertainment is making a STATEMENT!), a sterotypical greedy Hollywood bigshot, the concerned female, the worried wife, and thugs and rapists. Character actor Rick Hoffman (he of "Hostel" and "Cellular" fame) has a performance that could have been better if the screenplay by Rob & Andrew Hedden, who are writers for WWE, knew how to write interesting characters. Speaking of WWE, the movie is yet another example of how WWE Films essentially fails to deliver on the dumb but fun kind of spectacle you would want. A movie like "See No Evil" could have been a decent throwback to the Slasher flicks of old, but instead was just "Saw" lite. "The Marine" could have been a decent afternoon action flick, but failed even at a rudimentary level. Here, "The Condemned" also could have been a fun action flick, but is bogged down by a preachy message, which reaches MST3K movie levels of ineptitude when the reporter asks the audience "Are we the condemned?" In short, while they are laughably bad, WWE Films so far has yet to create an enjoyable B-Movie. But hey, who needs that when World Wrestling Entertainment is making a STATEMENT! Too bad for them that Paul Verhoven, George Romero, and even Eli Roth have too, and to much better success. Rating: 3 out of 10.
  15. "Hello, have I ever told you what the music of Taking Back Sunday means to me?"
  16. This really made me laugh.
  17. I have Grand Wazoo and Waka/Jawaka on IPod, though I have plans on getting the CD's, as well as Burnt Weeny Sandwich.
  18. ^Sends me albums from time to time. We need a "The Phone" gimmick. We already have "The Box." Actually, now that I think about it, that would just be overkill.
  19. I bought Hot Rats two months ago.
  20. I never liked the band Cake. Also, for some reason, everytime I hear "Short Skirt/Long Jacket", I think of Jeff Hardy for some reason.
  21. Whatever gave you that idea?
