The person above me thread

[Harry Lime]

I'm surprised TPAM didn't figure it out earlier. Did you know we have a new list to fill out?

[Iroquois]

I had a suspicion it had to do with Leone, but I figured it'd just be easier to ask you straight up than play guessing games.

What list?

[Harry Lime]

Cannes list, check it out. Some of the films are going to be hard to find so I'll be amazed if anyone can pull off 100%.

[Iroquois]

I'll say, I've barely heard of half the films on it and I've seen about 11% of the film's mentioned. Hurm.

[Harry Lime]

The Wages of Fear and The Conversation, you may like these.

[Iroquois]

Probably. Like I said, after tomorrow.

[Harry Lime]

You have a week off or so?

[TheDOMINATOR]

If TPAM was invisible, I probably wouldn't watch him in his room.

[Harry Lime]

If I was invisible TPAM wouldn't be able to watch me.

[TheDOMINATOR]

Was referring to that Clay Aiken song, TPAM. :D

[Iroquois]

You have a week off or so?

There's about six days between the due date of my next assignment and the assignment after that and since I've already done a really good draft of the second one with only a few minor changes needed, I've got a good chance to relax.

TPAM quoted a Clay Aiken song? :indifferent:

[TheDOMINATOR]

LOL. Sorry, TPAM. That ONE song of his is good.

[Harry Lime]

TPATPAM, Enjoy the minor break in the workload, do you know what your assignment is after the second one?

TPAM doesn't seem so sure how good the song is as he writes his praise very small.

[Iroquois]

TPAM - actually the second one's my last one this semester, so after that I'm pretty much free for a few weeks.

[Harry Lime]

That's good to hear, TPAM must be looking forward to it.

[Iroquois]

I'll say. I'm not looking forward to having to finish an assignment in the next 24 hours, though.

[Harry Lime]

Is it a challenging one?

[Iroquois]

Depends. If you're a dedicated, organised student, not really. If you're me, it's a bit of a bother.

[Harry Lime]

You're taking journalism and what again?

[Iroquois]

No comment.

[Harry Lime]

Well, you told me already but if for some reason you don't want to tell me again I don't really care. I think it was something to do with the arts.

[Iroquois]

Exactly.

[Harry Lime]

Well I'm off to watch Kurosawa's The Lower Depths. I'll see TPAM later.

[Iroquois]

No, you won't.

[Swan]

The Wages of Fear and The Conversation, you may like these.

Mind recommending me some? I've been wanting to see if... (big McDowell fan hur) and The Tin Drum for probably around a year now, and there are a few others on the list I know about, but other than that...


TPAM quoted a Clay Aiken song? :indifferent:

This made me laugh.

[Iroquois]

You're welcome, TPAM.

I'd also recommend Paris, Texas from the Cannes list. And Barton Fink.

[no1mccoy]

TPAM laughed at the quoted, I did too

[Swan]

TPAM is a random person, but is welcome.

TPATPAM - I want to see Barton Fink so bad, as well as Hudsucker Proxy and Raising Arizona. I'll check out Paris, Texas. I like that title.

[Iroquois]

Hope you do, also be sure to check out Wings of Desire by the same director.

[Swan]

WTF there is an actual city called Paris in Texas?

I was flippin' through Harry's top 100 the other day and when I came upon Wings of Desire, it looked interesting, so I Netflixed it. Sadly it's not available - I had to 'save' it. And it's not readily available on Amazon either. Seems tough to get.

[Iroquois]

Coincidentally, Paris, Texas does not actually take place in Paris, Texas.

[n3wt]

TPAM rated my avatar 3/5 TPAM has a 5/5 avatar imo :yup:

[Iroquois]

I tend to be a little harsher in my ratings, I guess.

[Swan]

TPAM has great fate.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM is.......is.

[Iroquois]

TPsAM aren't making too much sense.

[TheDOMINATOR]

I was referring to a conversation we had last night, TPAM. :P

[Iroquois]

Man, I do not remember that conversation at all.

(goes searching for answers)

[TheDOMINATOR]

It's back a page or two (or three, maybe?) in this thread, TPAM. It...wasn't much of a convo, so don't be disappointed if you find it.

[Iroquois]

Found it - strange, I got the impression it was with me when it wasn't. No wonder I didn't remember it

[Swan]

You weren't part of it TPAM.

[Iroquois]

I know, I just figured that out.

[Swan]

I posted it too late, TPAM.

[Iroquois]

I thought as much, TPAM.

[TheDOMINATOR]

I inadvertently confused TPAM. :(

[Iroquois]

Eh, don't worry about it.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM will be vacationing soon.

[Iroquois]

In a manner of speaking, yes.

[TheDOMINATOR]

Very nice, TPAM. If you're simply talking about a vacation from here only, then...not very nice. :P

[Iroquois]

Oh, I'm sure this place will survive without me just fine.

[Swan]

Probably not, TPAM.

[Iroquois]

Oh, please.

[Swan]

I'm cereal, TPAM. Super cereal.

[Iroquois]

We'll see. If I come back and find the place has been overrun by people complaining about the lack of nudity in Terminator: Salvation, I guess it'll be up to me to rebuild the place.

But I don't think that's very likely. Do you?

[Swan]

Nope TPAM, we must work together to put a stop to them!

[Iroquois]

Provided they don't assimilate you into one of them like the Borg or zombies or whatever.

[Swan]

I would never become one, TPAM.

[Iroquois]

That's what they all say, TPAM.

[TheDOMINATOR]

I'm cereal, TPAM. Super cereal.

TPATPAM is (or maybe isn't) a fan of Al Gore. :D

[Iroquois]

Al Gore has fans?

[Swan]

I like Al Gore, TPAM.

[Iroquois]

I guess someone's got to, TPAM.

[Swan]

He was better than GWB, TPAM.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM, W was so much fun though.

[Devils Angel]

TPAM posted above me

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM has a pretty sweet avatar.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM, like pretty well everyone else, liked Up.

[TheDOMINATOR]

Are you included in this, TPAM, or have you yet to see it?

[Swan]

I didn't think it was as great as everyone else does, TPATPAM.

[Harry Lime]

TPATPAM and TPAM, I avoid theaters like the plague so no I haven't seen it yet.

[Swan]

I don't blame you TPAM, some people in theaters can be annoying.

[Harry Lime]

Some people can be annoying, TPAM.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM doesn't appear to enjoy a theatrical experience.

[Harry Lime]

I do enjoy it, TPAM. But for example if I have to take a leak I love being able to pause it.

[Devils Angel]

TPAM is a TPAM whore! Always here :p

[Harry Lime]

How would TPAM know unless she was always here?

[Iroquois]

TPAM should know that my dog's name is Harry.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM has a canine friend.

[Swan]

TPAM posted right after I clicked on this thread.

[TheDOMINATOR]

I'm skilled like that, TPAM.

[Swan]

TPAM is going to create a movie quiz for the site soon.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM nears 650 rep.

[Iroquois]

TPAM has an avatar from a lame 80s movie.

[TheDOMINATOR]

Pfff, you're lame, TPAM.

[Iroquois]

So I'm told, TPAM.

It's because my DVD collection isn't quadruple-digits, isn't it?

[TheDOMINATOR]

I have nothing against "you people" with single through triple-digit DVD collections.

;)

[Swan]

TPAM likes to brag about his DVD collection. :p

[TheDOMINATOR]

I haven't even talked about it in quite a while, TPAM. :bored:

[Iroquois]

What about photos, TPAM?

[Swan]

TPAM is actually Alex DeLarge.

[TheDOMINATOR]

I've taken some in the past and have posted them. I can always post new ones if there's a point of interest, though, TPAM.

[Swan]

TPsAM are posting too fast.

[Iroquois]

Don't worry, I'm not that interested.

Did you check out the ones I took recently?

[TheDOMINATOR]

I haven't, TPAM. Do you have your own "DVD collection" thread as others do? And I'm guessing that's where they are?

[Iroquois]

I do have my own thread, but the photos are in the DVD photo thread itself.

[Swan]

I want to see TPAM.

[Iroquois]

Say what?

[Swan]

TPAM has a great DVD collection.

[Iroquois]

I think it's alright.

[Xui Wan]

The person above me is or as I remember so not as his quote says..... maybe sorry but neither cold, cruel or bitter.... ;p

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM really likes to color-ize their fonts. :)

[Swan]

TPAM is in the oven.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM is still slacking in the top ten department.

[Swan]

TPAM, the last few films films I've watched have screwed up my top 10.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM can always change their top ten when needed, it's not set in stone.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM is correct.

[Harry Lime]

Always, TPAM.

[Swan]

I have the first 8 set in stone TPAM, there are 4 - 6 I want to add still, though.

[MovieMan8877445]

TPAM wants me to beware of the moon.

[mark f]

Are you sure, TPAM, that he doesn't want you to "beware the moon"?

[MovieMan8877445]

Hahah, I totally misread his usertitle, TPAM.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM has posted exactly 1800 times.

[MovieMan8877445]

TPAM has posted over a thousand more than me.

[Harry Lime]

And TPAM has been a member almost five months longer than me.

[MovieMan8877445]

I guess I just need to get posting more, TPAM.

[Harry Lime]

Or I need to post less, TPAM.

[MovieMan8877445]

Maybe so, TPAM.

[Harry Lime]

This thread accounts for 725 of my posts, TPAM. Or better make that 726.

[MovieMan8877445]

I doubt I even have more than 30 posts in here, TPAM.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM is off by about 100, he's posted 134 times in this thread.

[MovieMan8877445]

I just checked actually, TPAM. I'm quite surprised.

[Harry Lime]

So if not for this thread, TPAM would have about 1670 posts and I would have about 2150.

[MovieMan8877445]

I think most of my posts come from the Movie Tab, TPAM.

[Swan]

Are you sure, TPAM, that he doesn't want you to "beware the moon"?

Hahah, I totally misread his usertitle, TPAM.

I don't get it.

[mark f]

Isn't TPAM thread meant to confuse people, TPAM?

[MovieMan8877445]

I think so, TPAM.

[Swan]

The people above me are not sense-making individrools.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM thread is meant to confuse people?

[mark f]

OK, TPATPAM, TPAYou said you told him to beware OF the moon, but I knew you were quoting your avatar's movie, so I deleted the OF. He then noticed your CUT below your user name, showing him that I was correct even if I didn't see that CUT earlier. Are we still drooly, TPATPAM? Aren't you confused, TPAM?

[Harry Lime]

Okay, TPAM confused me there.

[mark f]

TPAM's CUT is "BANNED FROM VIENNA".

[Swan]

No TPAM you aren't drooly anymore.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM really liked Dances With Wolves.

[Swan]

How does TPAM know this?

You're right TPAM but how did you know?

EDIT: Nevermind.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM put two and two together.

[Swan]

No TPAM I put 5 and 5 together and got 10 piglets.

[Iroquois]

TPAM knows math.

[TheDOMINATOR]

TPAM knows that TPATPAM knows math.

[MovieMan8877445]

But does TPAM know math?

[Swan]

TPAM knows math.

[MovieMan8877445]

You're right, TPAM, I do.

[Harry Lime]

Can TPAM make 5 from 2 and 2?

[Swan]

TPAM say "one and one and one is three", got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM is taking a walk down Abbey Road.

[Swan]

I want to go there one day TPAM.

[Harry Lime]

I just watched an amazing Japanese film from the sixties called The Face of Another,highly recommended if you can find it. Did TPAM like The Conformist?

[Swan]

I liked it a lot, TPAM. Is it just me or did it have a lot of influence on The Godfather?

[MovieMan8877445]

TPAM just watched The Conformist.

[Harry Lime]

Is it just me or did it have a lot of influence on The Godfather?

I noticed that too. I don't know about "a lot", but certainly some influence.

TPAM just watched 8 1/2.

[MovieMan8877445]

TPAM just watched something, but I'm not sure what exactly.

[Harry Lime]

The Face of Another, TPAM. Very good film, one of my highest rated in a while.

I've been checking out this site called theyshootpictures and it has a top 1000 list created from over 1800 top ten lists of filmmakers and critics, interesting stuff - you may like.

[Swan]

TPAM I am so going to look at that.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM it's interesting because the list can be easily organized by rank, director, or year. But when you make a list of top 10's instead of say 100, certain films may get left off because they wouldn't make it into a top 10, but probably a top 100.

[Swan]

Yeah TPAM there are some movies I want in my top 10 but not enough room. :(

[Harry Lime]

TPAM, my top ten could've changed since I entered it here, usually it depends on which film I watched recently. I just don't bother to change it.

[MovieMan8877445]

I'll check that site out, TPAM.

[Swan]

I'm in a Simpsons mood, I might watch some tonight TPAM.

[MovieMan8877445]

Sounds good, TPAM. It's your favorite TV show, correct?

[Swan]

It is one of my all-time favorites TPAM yes.

[MovieMan8877445]

Well have fun watching it then, TPAM.

[Swan]

I always do TPAM.

[Harry Lime]

Homer is the greatest tv character in history, does TPAM agree?

[Swan]

Undoubtedly, TPAM.

[Harry Lime]

That's good to hear/read, TPAM.

[Iroquois]

TPAM is edging closer to 3,000 posts.

[Harry Lime]

Getting there with a little help from this thread, TPAM.

[Swan]

With a little help from my friend, TPAM.

[MovieMan8877445]

Which friend are you referring to, TPAM?

[Swan]

It's sort of an inside joke with Harry, TPAM.

[MovieMan8877445]

Okay, TPAM.

[Iroquois]

TPAM is on summer holidays.

[n3wt]

TPAM is a top guy even if he has a taste for blood ;)

[Iroquois]

TPAM can't talk about having a taste for blood.

[Devils Angel]

TPAM is TPAM

[Iroquois]

TPAM lacks creativity when it comes to posting in this thread.

[Devils Angel]

TPAM, I was unaware I needed to be creative when posting in this thread. I would apologise, but, I dont want to.

[Iroquois]

That's the spirit, TPAM.

[Devils Angel]

Was that sarcasm TPAM?

[Iroquois]

Sort of. It can be taken literally as you did make a post that was more "creative" than your last one.

[Devils Angel]

Well I wasnt aiming to make it more creative, I was merely making the point that I wont apologise when i was unaware there was a need to be creative. But nevermind.

[Iroquois]

In order to make an omelette you have to break a few eggs, TPAM.

[Swan]

Devils Angel thought TPAM was being mean to him.

[Devils Angel]

TPAM, I am a girl, and i did not think Iro was being mean to me.

[Swan]

TPAM I was wrong on two accounts, I apologize.

[Devils Angel]

TPAM, apology accepted, though im curious as to why you thought I was a guy?

[Swan]

Why do people think I'm a girl, TPAM? I don't know. Just guessed.

[Devils Angel]

Your name is one that most would associate to be a females username.

[Swan]

It's from a Pink Floyd song TPAM. I want it changed. :(

[MovieMan8877445]

What would you change it to, TPAM?

[Swan]

I don't know, TPAM.

[Devils Angel]

I think TPAM should change his name to "TPAM"

[MovieMan8877445]

Well, don't change it then, TPAM.

[Devils Angel]

TPAM posted too slow

[MovieMan8877445]

Maybe I did, TPAM.

[Swan]

TPAM was too slow.

[n3wt]

TPAM wasnt too slow.

[Swan]

I haven't talked to TPAM in a while.

[n3wt]

Dito TPAM how are you my friend?

[Swan]

I am groovy, TPAM. You?

[n3wt]

Im ok my friend still pissing about with getting internet in our new place, at the mo I can only get online in other peoples houses :( wont be long now and I'll be back here being the MoFo-HoBo :laugh:

[MovieMan8877445]

Hope to see you back soon, TPAM.

[Swan]

TPAM is groovy.

[honeykid]

TPAM keeps using the word groovy.

[Swan]

Groovy is a groovy word, TPAM.

[Harry Lime]

Groovy TPAM, you dig?

[honeykid]

I dig, TPAM

[Harry Lime]

TPAM's no square.

[honeykid]

TPAM's a groovy cat.

[Iroquois]

TPAM is hip.

[Swan]

TPAM is a hipster.

[Sir Toose]

TPAM has eyes closed and fangs open so I surmise TPAM is a risk taker ;D

[Iroquois]

TPAM has a thing about devils.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM was too slow I take it.

[Sir Toose]

TPAM is rarely, if ever slow :D

[Harry Lime]

TPAM took a shot at ole Harry.

[Sir Toose]

TPAM misconstrued! I was complimenting TPAM's overall acuity!

[Iroquois]

Great, now TPAM is yet another person in this thread who posts faster than me.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM was slow again.

And TPATPAM I figured that statement was meant to be viewed from multiple angles as per the smiley face.

[Iroquois]

TPAM claims to watch about ten films a week.

[Harry Lime]

At least, TPAM. Four in the last 48 hours for example.

[Iroquois]

I've seen three in the last 48 hours. May fix that...

[Harry Lime]

I'll probably watch another in an hour or two, TPAM.

[Iroquois]

Likewise, I'm not doing much else today.

[Harry Lime]

What's TPAM going to watch?

[Iroquois]

I've got five choices, not including an episode of MST3K...

Ghost World
Happiness
The Neverending Story
Belle du Jour
Ghosts of the Civil Dead

For the record, I've already seen the first two.

[Harry Lime]

Has TPAM seen Welcome to the Dollhouse? In my opinion definitely Solondz best film, by far. I really like Belle de Jour, have you seen anything else by Bunuel before?

[Iroquois]

I've been meaning to see Welcome to the Dollhouse, haven't had the chance yet. Also, about the only other Bunuel film I've seen is Un chien andalou, which isn't much, I guess.

[Harry Lime]

For Bunuel, it's all about Los Olvidados - amazing film if you can find a copy. You'll either like Bunuel or you won't, but give a couple of his films a chance before you make that decision. And since you like Happiness (as much as anyone can "like" that film due to its subject matter) you have to get a hold of Welcome to the Dollhouse.

[Iroquois]

I'll keep an eye out for Los Olvidados, should be hard to find on VHS and impossible to find on DVD around here.

[Harry Lime]

I had a VHS copy of it but gave it away to some girl after my VCR broke down. It could also be listed as Young and the Damned.

[7thson]

TPAM once had a VHS player ---- yikes. ;)

[Harry Lime]

I had a BETA too, TPAM.

[7thson]

To TPAM: yikes squared

[Harry Lime]

TPAM makes some kick a$$ avatars.

[MovieMan8877445]

TPAM has never changed his avatar.

[Harry Lime]

Probably never will, TPAM.

[MovieMan8877445]

I guess, TPAM.

[7thson]

TPAM should be watching a 1950s film...;)

[Iroquois]

TPAM's avatar reeks of monkey business.

[Swan]

Fahrenheit 911 was hard to watch TPAM.

[Iroquois]

What makes you say that?

[Swan]

It has some heartbreaking stuff in it TPAM.

[Iroquois]

My memories of Fahrenheit 9/11 aren't very positive either, but I can't say I remember it being "heartbreaking".

[Swan]

I don't take seeing actual footage of dead burnt soldier bodies being beaten and hung very well, TPAM. ;)

Anywhodilly, Michael Moore rocks.

[Iroquois]

That was in the movie?

Must re-watch. But probably won't.

[Swan]

Yes it was TPAM. I probably won't see it soon either. I liked SiCKO more, anyway. One of my fave documentaries.

[Harry Lime]

TPAM likes Michael Moore a lot more than I do. TPAM is also on the site a lot later than usual.

[Iroquois]

TPAM's appearances on this site never strike me as earlier or later than usual.

[Harry Lime]

Probably because I'm always here, TPAM.

[n3wt]

TPAM isnt here at the moment :D
