Oh yeah, this is a fun topic. Pretty much any Castlevania game that isn't immedietly followed by the number II is a shoe-in. I literally refused to believe anyone who claims they beat Dracula without a Game Genie in the first one, because his second form is so ridiculously hard that I don't see how it's possible. You have to whip him 64 times or the equivalent with other weapons, and meanwhile you only can take four hits before dying. And this is AFTER you fight the hard-as-fuck first form. Terminator 2: Judgement Day is a common one, I don't know of anyone who got past the truck stage. The Dune games are hard, but they're doable, you just have to build a good infrastructure and have good timing. Oh, and memorize EXACTLY what the different vehicles and weapons can do. Ghosts & Goblins. Ah, we meet again, my arch-nemesis. Thanks to the level select code, you could at least get a glimpse of what the entire game looked like (or the beginning of the levels, anyway). This is one of those games where I wonder if the programmers even played it. Did they test it themselves? Did they see how got-danged impossible this game was? Especially for little kids? Why did they release the game with such unresponsive controlling ability? If your little guy could just jump with more precision, it would've solved a shitload of problems. (The greatest irony being that the last boss is a complete pussy, you don't need the cross at all, that's just a myth.) Lots of fighting games are just unfair. SNK is a repeat offender, their various Neo-Geo games are all so goddamn difficult that it makes you wonder if they were trying to get you to smash that incredibly expensive machine, just so you'd buy another one. Grand Theft Auto. Any of 'em. I think it would be easier to go outside my house right now, carjack the neighbor's SUV, and build my own crime empire than it would be to win any of these games without the cheat codes. Battletoads: fuck you. What kind of assholes make one of the coolest games ever, with all kinds of different things you can do, and then make it SO FUCKING HARD THAT EVEN I, THE NERDIEST OF NERDS, CAN'T WIN THE FUCKING GAME EVEN WITH A LEVEL SELECT CODE, AN NES MAX, AND A GAME GENIE?!? (Off-topic: anyone else remember the NES Max? That was quite possibly the single best controller ever designed by human beings.) Any game with the name "Ninja Gaiden" on it should put up a red flag. I was surprised at all the pussies who whined about how hard the new X-Box version was. THA FUCK DID YOU EXPECT?! These are the same pricks who designed the original, where after your five millionth try at the fifth level to make that oh-so-perfect jump, outta nowhere some damn bird hits you and knocks you into a pit. Were you expecting mercy? Blaster Master: you run around for about three years or so collecting various powerups, just so you could go fight the boss and die. Mike Tyson's Punchout: I think I can count on one hand the number of times I beat Tyson. WITH a game genie. Spiderman & X-Men: Arcade's Revenge. Thank you, Satan. Why yes, I would LOVE to be Wolverine and chop down every single anvil and cut through every fucking wall and STILL get tossed by Juggernaut into the giant ball pit and die. Was that supposed to be a metaphor, inevitably getting thrown to our doom in a giant ball pit? And I must single out Chakan: The Forever Man for the last. Not just because the game's hard. Not because it devoured Allah knows how many innocent controllers at the hands of enraged children. But because of it's goddamn worthless "ending". Shit, at least if you somehow broke all known laws of probability and won Castlevania, they gave you a cool credits sequence. But nooooo, not Chakan! I don't even know if I want to write down this so-called "finale" that some fucking social retard of a Japanese game developer cursed us all with. In fact, I won't. It's THAT fucking stupid. - EDIT: oh, I forgot the hardest game of all time: Rolling Thunder, for the NES. If you can look me in the eye and say that you have beaten this game, then I will kill you, for you are the Antichrist, and the last boss of Rolling Thunder's defeat is the trigger for the horn of Gabriel and thus Armageddon shall reighn down on us.

It's not the Church of Christ that you're thinking of. It's an entirely different group, a liberal branch of protestantism that has always supported the left's goals.

You forgot the biggest group of all: 3.Various cliques and minorities bombing and killing each other in an attempt to get their way. The insurgents aren't one big homogenous group of anti-American terrorists. Yeah, some of them really are strapping bombs to themselves because they think they're killing the enemies of Allah, but most of them have much more secular goals. The mistake in this is seeing the violence as America vs. Islam. It's not. The real war is being fought in between the different factions that are trying to take control of the country for their own gain. Why else do you think that the insurgents have killed far more Iraqis than foreigners? If we pulled everybody out, it'd be the equivalent of pulling all the cops off the streets of LA. And we'd still get blamed for the massive civil war that would erupt afterwards.

When you have to reach that far to twist the rules and find new definitions of "jobbing", then it doesn't count. But for all the anal-retentives out there: the only person who's defeated him more than once cleanly without cheating or outside interference in singles matches in the past DECADE is, you guessed it, HHH. Come on, this guy actually ASKED for reasons to hate Shawn, why are people defending him?

-Clerks and Office Space: could've been documentaries about my own life at different jobs. -Night of the Living Dead and Alien: the two most perfect horror movies ever made. -Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Charlie Kaufman has repeatedly stolen my brain in every single movie he's written. I constantly found myself just nodding along with this movie, because it was all just so true, so right. -Oh Brother Where Art Thou: my favorite musical. Also my favorite Coen brothers movie. Their powers combined makes for one of my favorite movies, period. -Apocalypse Now: simply fucking amazing. -Transformers: The Movie: like I even need to explain this one. -Every MST3K episode I have on tape: best tv show in the history of the medium. Especial favorites: Prince of Space, The Final Sacrifice, Mitchell, and of course Manos: The Hands of Fate. -Any version of Hamlet: the best work of art ever created in the English language in my opinion. I own eight different Hamlet movies, and there's still at least three or four versions I've yet to acquire. -Aliens: does it explain a lot about me that this was my favorite movie when I was a little kid?

The only person he's jobbed to more than once in the past DECADE is, you guessed it, HHH. Whether it was true or not, claimed that Bret was having an affair with Tammy on live TV. Got his ass kicked in so many shootfights that beating the shit out of Shawn was like a backstage pasttime from 95-97. Blatantly lied over and over again about a variety of subjects throughout his career. For examples, watch Wrestling With Shadows and his RFVideo shoot interview. Somehow stayed employed by the WWF throughout his four-year layoff despite dozens of other wrestlers being fired. Introduced the wrestling world to Hotstuff Hernandez.

The posters parodygod and copyguy are obviously the same person, and they do nothing but repeatedly post stupid fake news stories. Furthermore, it's pretty clear that he's a PBP since I remember another poster recently who did the exact same thing and got banned. Can't we IP ban this asshole so he'll stop coming back? Oh, and delete all his threads so that he doesn't get the attention that he's obviously such a whore for.

So be honest, what do I really think about me?

Yep. -
It's definitely not Full Metal Jacket, I can at least contribute that much.

The Dead Hate The Living is a decent no-budget zombie flick. Check it out if you're bored at Blockbuster some night. I don't know if The Beyond qualifies, cuz like the Evil Dead flicks, it's more about possession & general supernatural horror than zombies. Same thing with all the Demons franchise. However, movies like Tombs of the Blind Dead (the first and best of the Blind Dead series) and John Carpenter's The Fog should be under consideration.
-
Fuck the hell shit, I've done it before. (Balconey Superkick Handicap match: HBK and Goldberg vs. Bret Hart) Heaven, however: Bret Hart vs. Teddy Hart Jack Evans vs. Tiger Mask I Chris Hero vs. Steven Regal: submission match The Midnight Express vs. the Hardy Boyz The Dudley Boyz vs. The Rock-n-Roll Express Andre the Giant vs. The Big Show Hulk Hogan vs. Lou Thesz Mick Foley & Terry Funk vs. Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair (yeah, I know it really happened, it's still the best wrestling match in history) MAIN EVENT: Kurt Angle vs. Kenta Kobashi
-
The only house show I've ever been to was a WCW show featuring Flair vs. Nash in the main event. This was after Nash had beaten Terry Fun for the "comissioner of WCW" title but before he got hurt (AGAIN), and he declared the figure-4 leglock to be illegal. Despite the referee being Lil' Naitch Charles Robinson, he still DQ'd Flair for using the figure-4. It sucked, and the whole crowd just died. Perfect example of why WCW went out of business, they couldn't even provide a happy ending on a house show.

Count me in as another vote for Cemetary Man, that movie was great. Even though 28 Days Later is technically not a living dead zombie flick, I'd much rather have it in there than crap like ROTLD2. And seeing as how Undead hasn't even been released yet, how can we vote on it? Anyone who nominates Resident Evil gets a swift kick to the groin. CGI gore my ass.

16 milimeter film, black & white stock, the "back in the day" standard of indy filmmaking. Not shot on video. Well, how much of the church does your script require you to show? If all it specifies is a few pews and an altar, it's possible to find some other location that vaguely resembles a church closely enough to get away with it. Barring that, you could just give the minister an "edited" version of the script, if you're not above lying to the clergy. As for the subway, tough shit there, you pretty much have to have a real one, there's no good way to fake it. Not really. George Lucas could do it with the Industrial Lights & Magic setup, but that's the type of hardware it would require to do it and make it look good. On a home movie "prosumer" level, bluescreen is essentially just a fancy new way to do rear-screen projection. You can digitally insert your actors and props in front of a shot of a subway, but unless you're really damned careful and clever with your shooting, it'll look quite fake. Plus, you still have to shoot that shot of the subway in the first place. Getting access to locations is always a problem in indy filmmaking. There's often only two ways around it: shoot there anyway without permission (but don't come crying to me if the cops bust you) or just change the script so that location isn't needed anymore.

Um, all of the detainees HAVE had military tribunals. That's how they decided who got sent to Gitmo in the first place; they decided whether or not the person in question constituted a viable risk if allowed to go free. They just haven't had civil trials which decided the question of their guilt and ultimate punishment.

The OaO "Land of the Dead" talkback thread
Jingus replied to Gary Floyd's topic in Television & Film
Oh yeah, Fulci's Zombie is a straight-up commercial ripoff of Dawn of the Dead with none of the depth or intelligence. If it weren't for the shark scene, it'd probably join the ranks of the other thousand zombie movies that nobody's ever heard of. To further illustrate my point: anyone here watched any of the various Blind Dead sequels recently? The movie I don't get the love for is Day of the Dead. It's so much worse than the other pics in the series (yeah, including Land) that I don't understand why anyone likes it. Yeah, Bub The Cuddly Zombie is kinda amusing, but the rest of the characters are overacted and underwritten. It doesn't expand on the original premise like the other movies did; instead it just goes into a bunker and hides. I recall that Romero originally had a much bigger movie in mind, something more along the lines of Land, but couldn't raise the money for it and had to make do with what he had. Hell, I even like the Night remake better than Day, at least it had Tony Todd and that redheaded chick. And Sledge I do agree with you on the ROTLD3, if for no other reason than I thought that the zombie girl was hella cute. EDIT: I love surfing thru imdb.com. The zombie girl in question was Melinda Clarke, who was also the prostitute Mal slept with in "Heart of Gold" on Firefly, the evil henchwoman in Spawn, and a current regular on The OC. -
In one of his threads in HD I said I hoped he got AIDS and cancer so we could take bets on which one kills him first.

Man, reading these conference call transcripts is ALWAYS good for a laugh. Sometimes the WWE seems to have no idea how to deal with the stockholders who quite literally own them.

Sledge, you liked the remake of Dawn better than the original, and you hated Land? Um... you sure you're a horror movie fan? -
But do you think they have innocent men down there? Do you think they just randomly grabbed people off the street, threw 'em in the back of a truck, and said "Ciao!"? Most of these guys are there because they were captured on the battlefield or caught red-handed in some sort of terrorist action. Most of the people imprisoned at Gitmo are there because they quite literally want to kill you, C-Bacon. And me. And everyone else who isn't a Muslim. I do think it's fucked up that they're not allowed legal counsel or contact with the outside world. Maybe there's a good reason for that, I dunno. I don't think that the US government would be keeping them there at such a high cost (Gitmo is expensive as hell) if there wasn't some reason to believe that those guys were trying to kill all of us.

Fuck every announcer who has a job while I still don't.

Nothing, this guy's just an asshole who won't quit his gimmick and won't go away, he keeps posting fake news threads that are really confusing all the n00bs in the WWE folder
