  1. I still like A Nightmare Before Christmas. Grendel Khan-The Official DZ.Com Newbie Forum Nuisance "They sicken of the calm, that know the storm."
  2. Iagree with you to an extent, nuclear technology, space flight, hell..every exploration in the Age of Exploration were based on military/ empire building pursuits. But I'm not trying to debate the basic socio-philisophical center of humanity. I was only trying to say that if little green men were watching our hunk of rock they would either be a peacefu, exploritive race that would strudy us from a distance and let this particular sleeping dog lie, or they would be a warlike race that wanted to subjigate or eliminate the human race. If this were the case, they would have smashed us to pieces long ago. My brains not in gear nough to arfue the subtler points of existence. I just want to talk about UFO sightings.

  3. You do realize that these are the very traits that drive the advancement of the human race? -Blind Thats arguable, but beside the point, what about hose traits would make an intelligent, peaceful race want to contact us?

  4. My theory about aliens actually can be summed up best by a Calvin and Hobbes comic in which Calvin proclaims "the surest sign that intelligent life exists on other planets is that they haven't tried to contact us yet." Really, what about human civilization would make a species that has mastered interstellar travel want to get friendly? Humans are warlike, ferocious, devious, proud and arroganjt by nature. We would greet alien visitors not with open arms and thirsty intellects, but with soldiers and tanks. If aliens sre aware of our existence, they are probably going to leave us the hell alone until we kill ourselves off.

  6. 24 hours down. Man this sucks. Im actually really surprised I haven't cheated. Damn you Joe Camel. Grendel Khan-The Official DZ.Com Newbie Forum Nuisance "They sicken of the calm, that know the storm."
  7. Yeah so, after all that smack I talked about never quitting smoking..... I quit smoking. I know, I know, I sold out my fellow black lungs, but it had to happen sooner or later. My last smoke was yesterday about 3:00 (I was actually at the DZ for my last one) so that make sit about 20 hours and counting. Im only writing this becaus eI had my first "incident" a few minutes ago. I was meeting with a Lessor who had obviously smoked a square not mor ethan thirty seconds before entering my office. It was really REALLY hard to smile and go over legal documents when I would hav gladly killed her just to suck the tobacco out from under her fingernails. She has no idea how close she came to a quick and rather awkward death. So anyway, I'm just venting, I gues Ill go smash my hand ina drawer, maybe it will take my mind off ciggarettes.

  8. My favorite clowns Grendel Khan-The Official DZ.Com Newbie Forum Nuisance "They sicken of the calm, that know the storm."
  9. I used to work at the Phobia haunted house in Houston and it was weird the way more people freked out at the clowns than any of the more gruesome stuff. Theres just something about a drooling guy in grease paint with a cleaver that seems to get under peoples skin.

  10. Deleted for blah, blah, blah stuff that belongs in Speaker's Corner. Please read the forum rules. Grendel Khan-The Official DZ.Com Newbie Forum Nuisance "They sicken of the calm, that know the storm."
  11. Thats fine, individual thought is more important than anything else. Thats why movies are so fun, they're completely subjective. I hated Good Will Hunting, but when I tell people, they act like I'm a motard with Jello for brains. I love almost everything Kubrik did (except Barry Lyndon,w hat a crapfest, that Brian DiPalma "make it look good screw the story" style has to GO) and teh Shining was always one of my favorites. I think I'm going to have to re-read the book, its been so long since I did, I can't remember most of it. Grendel Khan-The Official DZ.Com Newbie Forum Nuisance "They sicken of the calm, that know the storm."
  12. No way. I though Nicholson did a fantastic job of going from normal hard working average Joe with a weird job to flat out lunatic. In fact King hated Kubricks version of the Shining because it focused too much on the mental collapse of jack rather than the ghostly stuff. Did you see the version of THe Shining that King did for TV? Yeah, that guy from Wings was soooo much better than Jack Nicholson All of Kubricks movies have that underlying theme of people being pushed beyond their mental limits and how they respond to it. Sometimes inorder to make a good movie yu have to deviate from the source material. Given Stanly Kubriks resume I think he should be allowed a little leeway to explore the characters in his fasion, not be bound to a book thats a low B at best.

  13. More forgetable crap fests: The Stand Sometimes they come back I & II the Lawnmower Man Graveyard Shift Needful Things Firestarter The best adaptation IMO is The Shining, Kubricks a genius and JN is the best actor of the modern generation. Shawshank, Misery and Carrie were all VERY good too. Kathy Bates is one scary lady, I mean seriously, she hobble dthat guy with a SLEDGEHAMMER! OUCH. If I remember correctly in th ebook she lops his feet off with an axe and blow torches the stubs. Yikes.

  14. My theory is that by increasing my chances of a smoking related ilness/death, I am proportionatly decreasing my chances of an even more gruesome and bizarre death such as ants eating my eyes after surgery (oh, it really happened, google it if you dont believe me.) Actually, I'm of the Dennis Leary school of Smoking, I love to smoke, until they make it illegal i will continue to smoke, and I will speak out against the limitations of personal freesoms until the day I die, or until I run out of breath, which as a smoker isn't very long. Really though, the only stat that really matters when it comes to smoking: 100% of ALL deaths are caused by birth. cough cough Edit: Heres the story about the ants eating eyes damn thats gross.

  15. Heres a good place to go for advice and strategy Grendel Khan-The Official DZ.Com Newbie Forum Nuisance "They sicken of the calm, that know the storm."
  16. Wow, I can't believe anybody has actually seen th Wicker Man. Absolute classic. I saw it on TV late one night/early one morning and bought it the next day. Like he said, no special effects, no immortal franchise killer, no stupid holywood cliches. just a really creepy story, great acting and an ending that will knock your socks clean off. Seriously, my jaw was on the floor for about twenty minutes after it ended, I had goose bumps and still cant sit in a wicker chair without giggling like a motard. Grendel Khan-The Official DZ.Com Newbie Forum Nuisance "They sicken of the calm, that know the storm."
  17. I haven't seen either of those, but I just called Hastings to make sure they had a few copies! I'll be filling my brain ("mmmmmm...braaainnsss.....use your brains to help us! Your delicious braaaaiiins.") with much zombie madness tonight! Edit: Just wanted to add that my favorite line from any zombie movie ever was in Rerturn of the Living Dead 2. After killing and devouring the bumblefuck police that showed up to investigate, a surprisingly clever zombie gets on the radio and tell sthe dispatcher "Send more cops" its not funny unless you imagine it spoken by a zombie. "SseeND mOoorRRRrE coooooPppPpPsssss." something like that. Grendel Khan-The Official DZ.Com Newbie Forum Nuisance "They sicken of the calm, that know the storm."
  18. Say word, son. Milla is the hottest girl... Naked or not, she's a knockout in everything shes in. Even the scary Russian chick thing from Zoolander, I would let her whoop my ass on an hourly basis. Although I do seem to recall seeing some booby action in both 5th Element and Resident Evil, but I might just be making that up in my head.

  19. I had no idea Jackson did Meet the Feebles! That's just crazy. For thos ethat don't know, the Feebles are like the Muppets on heroin, with herpes and a shiv made from a nail and some duct tape. Its frikken hilarious. I fyou havent seen them, check it out. You'll see why I'm so amazed that Peter Jackson was involved.

  20. Congrats on the License! Im working my way towards one, and I can only imagine how amped you are at this point. You've got a whole new world in front of you now, keep kickin ass and havin fun.

  21. A dog turd in compariscon to a big steamy pile of elephant excrement is still a turd. I didn't like either movie, but I will agree that Devils Rejects was a 100 times better. At least its a step in the right direction for Mr. Zombie, Grendel Khan-The Official DZ.Com Newbie Forum Nuisance "They sicken of the calm, that know the storm."
  22. 5 words that will change your life..."Killer Klowns From Outer Space" you're welcome. Grendel Khan-The Official DZ.Com Newbie Forum Nuisance "They sicken of the calm, that know the storm."
  23. I must not have seen the same movie yall did. What I saw was Rob Zombie unabashadly stealing three decades worth of horror movie material. There wasn't a single scene in the Devils Rejects that didn't make me think "Wow, that was just like (insert random movie here)" Boredom is not a burden anyone should bear.....especially when it comes to horror movies. And whilst I will never complain about Mrs. Zombies ass on screen, it seems like its one of those "we don;t have viable narrative or cohesive plot, lets throw in some TnA to keep the pre-teen boys interested" moments. I would give the devils rejects two thumbs down, but Rob Zombie already cut them off because I hated his crappy movie. Damn you , Zombie.

  24. After living in east Texas the past eigh years, Im kinda surprised nobody has come up with some kind of Ranch Dressing Ice Cream. Grendel Khan-The Official DZ.Com Newbie Forum Nuisance "They sicken of the calm, that know the storm."
