We're about halfway done, so here's a look at the year so far. -Heath Ledger died, and TSM was struck by the "Serial Pillist." Also, people are already raving about "The Dark Knight", even though it hasn't come out yet. -Marvin got progressivley worse, reaching levels not reached since the reign of wildpegasus, and Deon got stupider. Both made it to the finals of the "worst TSM poster" tournament. I still hate them both. Amazingly, Marvin seems aware that he sucks and annoys people, while Deon is oblivious to it. Deon bumped a Jay-Z/Linkin Park thread, not realizing everyone with functioning braincells hates Linkin Park, and Marvin loves Glenn Beck, 3 Doors Down, and Staind. -The Campaign 2008 Thread became horrible, with Marvin trolling the thread, Jerk arguing with everybody, CheesalaLovesRonPaul calling me a Republican (sorry cheesy, you are wrong), and Marney-my God Marney. She has to be a gimmick.There is no way a hardcore, insane conservative stereotype lesbian exists. No way. And that's not an insult to conservatives, as she's more insane than actually conservative. I dread her return. Still, she's better than Marvin at least, as she seems approchable outside of the CE folder. -As far as music goes, Portishead have the best album of the year so far. Best Metal album so far is either Boris' Smile, Earth's The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull (not really metal though) or Nachtmystium's Assassins: Black Meddle Part 1. Best hip hop album is probably The Re-Up Gang's mixtape We Got it for Cheap Vol. 3. I think that The Carter 3 doesn't live up to all the hype it's been getting. It's a listenable album with a few great tracks, but it's not as great as everyone says it is. -As far as horror goes, the best horror movie overall seems to be "Inside", with "The Lost", "[REC]", and "The Signal" as runners up. -We were all reminded that Juggalos are the lowest rung of the music fan ladder, thus making me feels bad for Carnival. Speaking of him, I wish he'd post more. -EHME finally had that kid. -Obama is the official nominee, which means more bitching from Czech. -Czech, Kingof909, NYU, and Vitamin X became mods. -cabbageboy may be one of the dumbest or at least most annoying people, in the WWE folder right now. Everybody hates him for a reason. -In spite of winning the worst poster tournament, Marvin was never banned, though he's tuned it down some. He's still terrible. Deon had posts in the "Things that Anger You" thread that are CronoT posting levels. -Corey Lazerus prefers Nerd Rap to Real Rap. -VH! Presents: I Love The New Millenium. Or: VH1 needs to be cancelled. -Finally, "Kobe, How Does My Ass Taste?" No, not Kobe Tai...

You don't get GAS because there *is* no GAS channel anymore. Nick killed it, raped it's corpse, and covered it up with the Nicktoons channel. The Nicktoons channel at least gave me "Rocko's Modern Life" episodes. They seemed to have stopped though.

who are you talking to by saying "hey people" I told you this before no-one cares about what's going on, Look at he list of people, there's me and you.and where is the broom stick I hope it up your BUTT, and tell your moma to dip that puss in the sink ha ha ha ha

The anthology "Children of Cthulhu" might be up your alley. If no that, try John Pelan's novella "The Colour Out of Time." Ramsey Campbell (who I highly reccomend) has done some Lovecraft inspired work.

"Pumpkinhead" is getting a special edition release September 9th. Here's the DVD cover:

"Where's that ol' fuck you Charlie?" "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" is a comedy masterpiece, and insanely quotable. Plus, Dennis Hopper vs. Leatherface in a chainsaw battle to the death=non-stop entertainment.

I'm seeing it tomorrow. Other than "Cars", Pixar has yet to disappoint.

Yep. I've said it before, but the dude was like a living David Lynch character (He loved Lynch's work too.)

I love "Dolemite", and tend to reference it every now and again. FAB press is doing a book about the genre of blaxploitation that looks pretty great (they have yet to do a bad book on movies though.)

You really gotta see that. It's probably the best horror movie from the 70's nobody talks about. It's different, but that's part of what makes it so great. I really outta do a great movies nobody talks about thread.

You are very correct with that assessment. One of the things I love/find disheartening about the horror genre is that there are so many less talked about classics. Sure, I love "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Dawn of the Dead", "The Shining", etc. However, what about movies like "Let's Scare Jessica to Death", "Dead & Buried", "Martin", "Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural", "Messiah of Evil", and several others? I love it because hey, it's more great horror movies, and find it disheartening because of the lack of attention they get. The horror genre has so many little talked about gems, it's amazing.

So that explains why I nearly failed a math class in 12th grade.

Special K's been gone for awhile.

Especially "Sweet Home Alabama." I never liked Skynyrd myself.

Sleep-"Evil Gypsy/Solomon's Theme"

5 favorite songs of the year so far 5.) Spiritualized-"I Gotta Fire" 4.) Lil' Wayne-"Phone Home 3.) Hercules & Love Affair-"Blind" 2.) Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds-"We Call Upon the Author" 1.) Portishead-"We Carry On"

Marney has been MIA, at least it seems so.

I'm not a racist, that's what's so insane about this.

I think he just left. Dude was a fucking mess.

"Let her go!" "Very poor choice of words!"

If you don't have Pentagram's First Daze Here, then get it. Great stuff.

I frequent bars. Who doesn't? That out of the way, here is a list of songs I don't want to hear in a bar ever again, and why. Bon Jovi-"Livin' On a Prayer" and "Bad Medicine"-There is nothing worse than coming into a bar and hearing a bunch of drunk fratboy's warbling Bon Jovi off key. These songs are the worst offenders, and need to be put to sleep in bars. Metallica-"Enter Sandman"-It's done to death people-we get it, you like to sing along to it after a long day, and then get high fives from your best pals. Also, what is up with tough guys singing along to "Nothing Else Matters" and getting all weepy. That song has the power to turn these guys into pussies in no time. Anything from Kid Rock-Really, just stop playing anything from him. Don't you ever wonder if the DJ, or if you frequent strip clubs (I don't-sorry) the strippers hate having to hear this, or at least get tired of it? Just stop playing this guy for the love of God. Garth Brooks-"Low Places"-It's like the ultimate drunk redneck asshole anthem. It's cancer to the ears. I'm from Southern Ohio, and if there is any modern country anthem that needs to be retired the most, it's this one. Fergie-"Fergilicious"-This has replaced "All I Wanna Do" and the works of Alanis Morrisete as the anthem from obnoxious FUPA and Gunt fat girls going crazy anthem. Anything from Jimmy Buffet-Along with The Eagles and John Mellancamp, nothing fills me with more rage than the works of Jimmy Buffet. Cartman was right about him BTW. Bob Seger-Turn the Page-It gets even worse if it's karaoke night. Actually, never go to a bar-ANY BAR-during karaoke night. AC/DC-"Highway to Hell," "Back in Black," and "Shook me All Night Long"-I like thse songs, but bars have ruined them for me some. Def Leppard-"Pour Some Sugar on Me"-Actually, girls dance really slutty when this plays, so keep playing it. So instead, let's go with... Poison-"Every Rose has it's Thorn"-There, much better. Anything from Sheryl Crow-Fat chicks with Jeff Hardy T-Shirts love singing along to her. It's as awful as you might think. Those are my pics. Feel free to add your own.
