Whats up swan? Took me a minute to figure out your avatar. Just because I was looking for some kind of face.

[The Gunslinger45]

Doing pretty good actually. How about you Swan?

[Swan]

Swan! Where's your avatar?!!

It will be back. I had to substitute a picture of myself for the time being.

Instead, you get my butt.

Doing pretty good actually. How about you Swan?

I'm good myself Gunslinger.

[Daniel M]

Sorry to hear that, Daniel. Do you have decent access to another computer?

Kind of, if I really need too. Gonna buy a large memory stick and try and transfer films from my laptop to it (it'll work for a bit before it overheats and shuts down) which I can use to play films on my TV. Got a load of films recorded anyway, so I'll watch some of them. I might make the effort to read some of the film books I have too.

[MovieGal]

Yeah. That's the only one I know of.

I seen "House of Flying Daggers" long ago... before I even knew who he was.... the film made me really take notice of him.. .was "Red Cliff"... then shortly after I watched it.... a friend and I watched "Chungking Express" and I really didnt notice it was him... then we watched "Fallen Angels" and I told my friend.. "hey thats the hot guy from "Red Cliff"... and I showed him a picture of Takeshi.. and yup he said the same thing... same guy (he didnt agree that he was hot tho).

I REALLY want to see his film "Lavender".. but its hard to find. :(

[Swan]

Now that I switched back to my normal avatar, my last post seems very disturbing.

[rauldc14]

Glad you switched back yet again. I need to find something that I can stick with myself.

I bought myself a big external HDD to put on all the good films I've been watching and a couple that I still want to see. It's one of the best purchases I've done in years! Now I don't have to delete good films from my computer that I'd possibly want to rewatch.

I meant that I only knew of one Fallen Angels. :) I recognized him from Daggers too. He is really hot. I'll look for Lavender. I've gotten really good at finding movies.

Its in pieces on youtube.. with english subs.. but I hate that... I dont want to have to stop a film.. find the next piece and move on..

Oh yes... soooo gorgeous... did you know he was a singer as well? a bit like John Barrowman... great actor, hottie and singer...

[MovieGal]

grrr.. Now I want to watch the 5 hour version of "Red Cliff"... I would have to say that is my favorite asian film... along with "Curse of the Golden Flower", "Shadows in the Palace" and "The Butterfly Lovers".

[rauldc14]

I'm thinking around 4 PM next Saturday for Halloween, but obviously only if it works for others.

I didn't know that. It's also on Los Movies if you want to watch it there.

It's from Fantastic Planet... Which isn't. :D

[Daniel M]

Some good news, I've backed up some of my films on disk and they seem to work in my Blu-ray player (didn't burn them, just using it as you would a USB in terms of data storage), and also I've got access to a computer with my step-dad saying I can use his, which used to be mine, so I'm on a computer now and I can use this to watch more films :) The only frustrating thing is lack of a HDMI port to connect it up to my TV.

I bought myself a big external HDD to put on all the good films I've been watching and a couple that I still want to see. It's one of the best purchases I've done in years! Now I don't have to delete good films from my computer that I'd possibly want to rewatch.

I was going to ask you early but didn't, but what make is it and how much did it cost you? Might invest in one myself, sounds like a good idea.

[MovieGal]

I really need to make a list of every film I ever watch.... try to remember some of the old ones and keep track of the new ones..

I used to watch between 2 - 3 films with my Argentine friend on Friday and Saturday nights/mornings.... and we always watched 2 on monday which was his day off... and then I watched films on my own.... but I have seen so many before I watched with him... thats its crazy.. pure crazy...

[Cobpyth]

I was going to ask you early but didn't, but what make is it and how much did it cost you? Might invest in one myself, sounds like a good idea.

This one was about 170 euros (so that would be around 140 British pounds or something, I guess).

EDIT: That's for 1.8TB, though. You can also buy something with a little less capacity. It will take ages before I'll get this one filled with good films.

[Green]

I've seen some amazing things on psychedelics, beyond the visuals though, I've learned I'm not a very chill person online. Irl, I'm probably among the least confrontational people you'll ever see; quite boring to be honest, because I just can't be bothered with the ********. I don't know why I'm so opinionated online, used to think because of anonymity but the older I got, the more I realized that wasn't it.

Perhaps it's the people I hang out with irl are pretty much the same as I, and we've really nothing to argue about. I drink a lot too, and don't care for people in general not because I dislike them as a person, it's that I haven't met many who are as honest with their feelings as I am. Maybe I'm just an *******, it could be something as simple as that, or perhaps my ego is whatever. Have everything a singe man could want: sex once in awhile, nice car, wonderful parents, slight wealth and I even own my home. </mini rant>

[seanc]

Just got back from Jersey Boys and my power is out from a storm. No double feature tonight.

[Swan]

How was it? I saw 22 Jump Street today.

[seanc]

I enjoyed it quite a bit. Its not reinventing the wheel or anything, just a solid movie with good music. How was Jump Street? Im one of the few who wasnt a fan of the first.

[Swan]

I watched the first one this morning and really enjoyed it, laughed a lot and really liked the characters. The second one was good, kind of recycles the structure of the first one but the filmmakers know it and make these great meta jokes about it. Just a light-hearted good time.

[seanc]

I may end up checking it out. What else is going on tonight?

[Swan]

Not much, going to hit the bed soon. You?

[seanc]

Probably gonna check in early cause of no power. I was planning on watching The Great Beauty. Have you seen that yet?

[Swan]

No, I want to. I read an article about it in one of my film magazines. Sounds interesting.

[seanc]

I have been looking forward to it. Quite a few of the casts I listen to have mentioned it. Quiet around here tonight.

[Swan]

Let me know what you think.

I know, everyone is gone. Damn them. Damn them to hell.

[MovieGal]

Probably gonna check in early cause of no power. I was planning on watching The Great Beauty. Have you seen that yet?

Sean, let me know how it is... I want to see it.. but not sure when

[seanc]

Ill post about it. Might end up being Sunday before I see it now but I will get to it this weekend.

How you doing moviegal?

I'm not sure where this rant came from but it does make me want to ask a question. Do you all feel your personality is pretty much the same online or are you a bit different in person? I am on here how I am when I am around people that I am comfortable with, but the older I get the more comfortable I am in general.

I was just wondering because I've heard people say they are more outgoing online and I've heard people say they are less.

[MovieGal]

How you doing moviegal?

Im good.. went to the doctor today for a physical.... there are so many things he wants me to do... not sure if I really want to do them....

One thing is strange... all my test results came back good... blood work and echo stress test at the hospital.. but the doctor said it was strange that my chest xray came back with an enlarged heart and fluid on my lungs...

ugh...

[seanc]

What does he want you to do?

[MovieGal]

See an orthopedic surgeon for my knee swelling.... see a gastroenterologist for my acid reflux and any stomach issues... and see a cardiologist for more tests on my heart.. and well other things I wont mention here.... lol .. Sean Im in my late 40s... Im in decent health but it could be better.. but most of it.. is just because of my age..

[seanc]

I hear you. Seems like doctors run test after test no matter what anymore.

[MovieGal]

I hear you. Seems like doctors run test after test no matter what anymore.

Are you doing ok?

Unfortunately my battery is about dead and still no power so I will talk to you MoFos tomorrow.

I used to think the real me and SC were two different people, but I'm noticing now that they're really not. It's just that I don't show all aspects of myself around everyone all the time for various reasons. It's just -- it can be a lot easier around here sometimes to open up because this is the internet and I have been here for over 10 years.

[rauldc14]

What's up mofos. I'm in Illinois for the weekend.

[MovieGal]

Im the same in real life as I am on the net... most people dont care much about me.. Im used to it.... Im my own self..... at work no one really talks to me.. because I wont talk about the non-essential ******** they do... I would rather talk about movies, music, science, history, etc.. things Im interested in.. not useless crap...

I know exactly what you mean, but I'm not sure that the internet has a lot to do with it for me but just that I am comfortable here and it makes it easier to open up. For some reason I am a lot more friendly and outgoing when I am by myself. I've had several people who have met me through other people tell me that they thought I was a complete bitch when they first met me.

[seanc]

I feel like joining this forum taught me I am exactly the same on the internet as I am in real life. When I first joined I kind of stayed on the fringes not posting that much. Now that I am comfortable I feel pretty free to insert myself into almost any of the conversations. I have to get to know people a little before I become assertive. I think it mostly comes from not wanting to offend people with my views or dry sense of humor. I like people to be comfortable around me, I am definitely a people pleaser.

[Hit Girl]

I think I'm the same on the forums as I am anywhere else, reserved at first, but once I get to know people and find they're worth talking to (and yeah you guys are :)) I'll chat away.

[Godoggo]

Introverts don't care for small talk much. I practically am almost unable to engage in it.

I've had a couple of jobs that I didn't care for any of my co-workers, but I had one job that I loved them. I was working at a grocery store when I was in college and we had a blast working there. We were all so silly and there were some great people that worked there. When I think about that particular job I miss the camaraderie of working with other people. I always think of that job when I watch The Office

If you were to ask the people I talk to here on a regular basis in private messages.. they would tell you I talk a lot about movies. I do talk about a bit of personal stuff with one or two people but thats it.

Im a friendly outgoing person... but I just dont care much for small talk... most of our dinner conversations are around biology and history.... and with a few friends.. its comics and movies... even music.... but not general ********....... I think because my movie taste is a wide range and I know more about foreign cinema.. most of the people interact with .. outside of the web.. arent interested in it so they dont discuss it with me.

Not many really want to talk about what I want to talk about... not many are interested in the dark side of history which is one of the things I really enjoy.

This song tournament is going to give me a heart attack.

Got to get used to Florida again. At least for a little bit. I am staying directly on the St Johns river and the humidity is terrible. I miss the desert.

Hey, I was floating down the St. Johns in a canoe last Monday.

I got to say in the latest big movie tournament,I was really disappointed in the final two. By the way, do you know who nominated those two movies? I need to log them as soon as we have a winner.

It was Donnie and Daniel I believe. I'll double check to make sure soon.

[Godoggo]

My guess is Daniel for Eraserhead and Donnie for There Will Be Blood. :)

[Swan]

I thought those were your favorite movies, Godoggo? ;)

[The Gunslinger45]

I myself voted for Eraserhead. :D

[Godoggo]

No kidding? What part?

Have you ever gone to Blue Springs state park? We went there and went swimming then rented a canoe. It's near Orange City in Volusia County. It's the only place I am not afraid to swim because of my shark phobia.

[Godoggo]

I thought those were your favorite movies, Godoggo? ;)

I used to love Eraserhead but not any more. I don't usually change my mind about movies to the negative, but I am not much of a Lynch fan anymore.

I've said my piece about the other movie. ;)

Can't say that I have. I am up in Jacksonville. I only get down that direction when my brother lived in Sanford and to see my buddy in Tampa.

[rauldc14]

It was Donnie for Eraserhead, Daniel for TWBB.

[The Gunslinger45]

I have to say I much prefer Lynch to PTA.

If you are in Florida during the winter you should go. The spring is always the same temp. so you can still swim. There are manatees everywhere in the winter. One year we went and this man from England starting talking about something moving under his feet. He dunked under to have a look and he was on top of a manatee. He was so excited and it was so neat to watch him have that experience. Then it surfaced and everyone was just kind of in awe hanging out in the water with it. No one tried to pet it or bother it and it swam away. I'll never forget that.

The English man said that it was the most beautiful thing he ever saw and everyone looked at his wife and laughed. She thought it was funny too.

Then we saw a manatee repeatedly try to climb in a canoe and fail. Cute things, but not so smart. :)

I have seen the occasional Manatee up hear. But not too often.

But if I am ever down there I will check it out.

[Godoggo]

I like them both equally. There Will Be Blood has had far more impact on me, when I wanted to be a filmmaker I turned to that CONSTANTLY as a guide, as well as PTA. It's hard for me to watch it with the same passion now... I have this weird issue with, like, the script showing through. I don't know how to explain it. I watch it and feel like I'm reading the script. I'm not saying it's contrived or anything, just... it's impossible to explain.

It's like I'm watching an adaptation of a script. Which technically it is. :laugh:

Actually, I know exactly what you mean but I never found the words for it.

I'm off to take a nap before I go meet Tim. Just for a little update, things are going very well on that front. We've been spending a lot of time together when we can. He's a really good guy.

[Swan]

Actually, I know exactly what you mean but I never found the words for it.

Yeah, it's hard to describe. I still like it, though.

[Swan]

The score never gets old though.

[rauldc14]

I haven't seen either still. There's far more ahead in my watchlist right now, but I'll see them eventually.

[Godoggo]

So much for my nap. I think that is the third time There Will Be Blood has won a tournament. I didn't look through all the posts, but Teeter won with it in a best of 2007 tournament as well and I am pretty sure it won another.

[Godoggo]

I have time to watch that Once Were Warriors movie and then I can start on my list.

I changed my mind about my HoF nomination again. I watched one of the movies I was considering with this girl I've sort of adopted as a little sister and she had such an amazingly strong reaction to it that now that is the movie I want to nominate.

[Swan]

I still don't know what I'm going to nominate for HoF. I mean, I have one in mind, but I don't think it will do very well... pretty sure most will hate it.

[rauldc14]

I still don't know what I'm going to nominate for HoF. I mean, I have one in mind, but I don't think it will do very well... pretty sure most will hate it.

I'm fine with you nominating Bergman so as its not Cries and Whispers. It would give me an added boost to see another one. I really liked The Seventh Seal.

[Swan]

I could nominate his other 70's masterpiece, Autumn Sonata.

[Godoggo]

I just nominate something that I love and feel deserves the spot and that I feel I can defend. When I am considering a movie I try to think why it deserves to be in the HoF. If it's too hard for me to think of a reason other than I really love it, I move on to another movie.

I wouldn't worry about if other people like it because it's such a diverse group of people that I think ultimately trying to find a crowd pleaser may backfire

But having said that if you want a sure fire win, nominate There Will Be Blood. ;).

[rauldc14]

I'm looking forward to our new batch. I'm hoping for stuff I haven't seen, but hopefully not too overly obscure.

[Swan]

The one I'm thinking of nominating, I KNOW will not win. Like I said, I doubt anyone will like it... but, it's a movie I want more people to see and am curious what they think.

[honeykid]

I hear you. Seems like doctors run test after test no matter what anymore.
Isn't that the case in the US, though? Fear of being sued leading to unnecessary test just in case it leaves them open to a suit?

The English man said that it was the most beautiful thing he ever saw and everyone looked at his wife and laughed. She thought it was funny too.

Wow. How rude! :p:D

[Swan]

For the next song tournament, I'm going to nominate all Pink Floyd songs, just to piss everyone off.

[rauldc14]

Anyone here like Alkaline Trio? I should ha e nominated them.

[Swan]

If we're allowed 9 nominations, I can just nominate the whole Dark Side of the Moon album.

[Godoggo]

Isn't that the case in the US, though? Fear of being sued leading to unnecessary test just in case it leaves them open to a suit?


Wow. How rude! :p:D

Yep, good ole litigious USA. Even me being a dog behaviorist, I have to be very very careful in the advice I give and things I do. I've never been suied but I know several in my field that have.

The wife took it in good fun. It was too spontaneous for us to help ourselves. Manatees aren't exactly known for thier beauty. At least she was an attractive woman. It would have been really rude if, in fact, the manatee was the better looker. :D

[Godoggo]

For the next song tournament, I'm going to nominate all Pink Floyd songs, just to piss everyone off.

Won't piss me off. Especially if you nominate Vera.

I have this Pink Floyd t-shirt that is my favorite t-shirt in the whole world. It's gray and has a red pig on the front. The material is almost silky but I've worn it so much that it is now completely see-through, so now I can only wear it to bed or over my swimsuit.

[Swan]

I always wanted a shirt with the album cover of Atom Heart Mother on it.

Wait until everyone hears my Swans song "G@d D$mn The Sun" I guarantee a few complaints on that one. :p

[Captain Spaulding]

I've already made a long list of potential songs I'd like to nominate in future tournaments. I even browsed through past tournaments to insure that I don't nominate stuff that's been nominated before.

I used to wonder if that was where your username came from. Somehow I know that it isn't but I forgot how I know.

[Swan]

My name actually comes from a Pink Floyd song, called If (actually from Atom Heart Mother). The first line is

If I were a swan, I'd be gone.

So when I was like 12, I started making my username on various places ifiwereaswan. Then it was shortened to ifiswan. Then Swan.

I'm going for retro gay dance hits mixed with some muppets next time.

That makes sense. I mostly listen to Animals and The Wall.

[Swan]

I listen to all their albums. I think they have several masterpieces. But, I think Dark Side of the Moon is their magnum opus and the greatest album of all-time.

[Swan]

Have you ever listened to their earlier Syd Barret-era stuff, Godoggo? Like Piper at the Gates of Dawn? If you like Robyn Hitchcock, I can't imagine you not liking that album.

[Godoggo]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. I like several songs off that.

To be honest, I'm not much of an album person. I have songs I like and most of the time I can't place what song goes on what album.

[Swan]

Bike was once my favorite song of theirs.

[Godoggo]

Have you ever listened to their earlier Syd Barret-era stuff, Godoggo? Like Piper at the Gates of Dawn? If you like Robyn Hitchcock, I can't imagine you not liking that album.

Not so that I can recall. I should listen to it if your comparing it to Robyn Hitchcock.

I'm glad Balloon Man is getting through the first round. And They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse in Your Soul. That's my theme song.

[Swan]

I'm sad you put Robyn Hitchcock up against Nellie McKay.

[Swan]

Actually, in general I probably like Robyn Hitchcock more than Nellie McKay (still a Nellie McKay fan), but her live performance of Sari rocks my world.

[Godoggo]

I'm sad you put Robyn Hitchcock up against Nellie McKay.

I didn't. Random.org did. In all things tournament random.org is god. It is all powerful and decides all matches. I never ever go against it's divine wisdom.

[Swan]

Damn you Random.org!

[honeykid]

I've already made a long list of potential songs I'd like to nominate in future tournaments. I even browsed through past tournaments to insure that I don't nominate stuff that's been nominated before.
You can nominate songs that've been nominated before. It often pisses off SC, so I recommend it. :D I suggest White Rabbit. ;) Looking forward to the next tournament so I can nominate some good songs. ;):p

[Daniel M]

Is that tournament final still open? I'd vote Eraserhead over TWBB probably, I dunno, it's close and I wouldn't mind if either won (or has already).

[rauldc14]

No. I closed it because TWBB rolled to an easy win.

[MovieGal]

One of the most annoying things is when you go out to eat and from the moment you are seated there is a family with a child that is constantly crying. Its not a valid cry but a whining cry. The parents are just ignoring the child instead of stopping it!!!

[Daniel M]

That's cool, just seen it :)

It's even worse when it's in a movie theater.

[Godoggo]

I need a volunteer that is not Rauld and is preferably not in the next HoF to check a link.

[Godoggo]

I've got to leave in a minute but if you wouldn't mind doing that for me,

What's going on all? Just chillin in Illinois we will be watching a flick here soon.

[MovieGal]

Which flick? I wish I had time.. but I have a few things to do before bed.. which is early since I work tomorrow :(

I really need to change jobs.

[honeykid]

Just having a cup of tea and watching an old episode of Mock The Week, then bed, I think.

[Cobpyth]

I love the realization that there are still so many unexplored films out there that I can watch!

Anyway, time to sleep. Good night!

[Derek Vinyard]

Go to the bar later ! just chillin on the forum right now hehe :p !

[MovieGal]

Wondering why the films I want cost so much ... even on Amazon used.... :(

[honeykid]

Wondering why the films I want cost so much ... even on Amazon used.... :(

Are they no cheaper on ebay? No one selling a copy there?

[rauldc14]

Wondering why the films I want cost so much ... even on Amazon used.... :(

Really? I usually find them pretty reasonable.

[MovieGal]

I found a new copy of the film I was looking for, on Amazon from an independent seller for $63.41. Which is crazy!

I didnt check ebay because I dont have an ebay account.. its ok... I will look elsewhere for the film.

[Swan]

What film?

[MovieGal]

Tras el cristal from 1986

[Swan]

Of course you would buy that.

[MovieGal]

And what does that mean?????

[Swan]

I just read the plot synopsis and it seems like your kind of movie. :D

[MovieGal]

I just read the plot synopsis and it seems like your kind of movie. :D

Sick and Twisted... with a lot of torture??

I do watch other types of film, SWAN!

[Swan]

Suuuuuuuure. :p

[MovieGal]

Ohhhh Mr Swan... hmm the movie Im watching tonight doesnt have torture in it.... :P

[Swan]

Looks like a romance... that sounds like torture to me!

[MovieGal]

Looks like a romance... that sounds like torture to me!

get it right.. HISTORICAL ROMANCE!

you must forget I am female :P

[Dog Star Man]

New Car Shade

[Swan]

By God. That. Is. Epic.

[seanc]

I want that

[Godoggo]

So Rauld, how is your job search going?

[Swan]

Well, I narrowed my nominations for the next song tournament down to ten. Don't think I can go any lower.

[rauldc14]

So Rauld, how is your job search going?

I've got my interview tomorrow morning. I'm kind of nervous but if I don't get it at least I still already have a job. It's a tough call because being where I've been for so long, I would take a bit of a paycut, but I'm sure I could work myself back up.

The pay cut is rough, but yeah, I bet you'd get back up there soon. Good luck tomorrow.

I just had an idea. Is anyone interested in watching Buffy again? I thought maybe we could open a thread and watch like two episodes a week. It's been long enough that I really need to see it again.

[Swan]

I'm watching the South Park episode "South Park is Gay". I forgot how freaking great this episode is.

[MovieGal]

Good Luck Rauldc14!!!!

So long as you can afford it, I think it's better to earn less in a job you like more. :)

[MovieGal]

Swanzy.... that movie was very good.... see I watch "clean, decent films"

It was like watching a piece of classical literature on screen.

[MovieGal]

Im trying to talk my friend into watching "Fame" from 1980 with me... the movie is as old as he is and not sure if he would really enjoy it.

[honeykid]

Fame's a lot harder and more gritty than it's public face. Tell them it's not some fluffy, glossy song and dance film.

[MovieGal]

He said he remembers it... its a classic.... I have him the movie trailer to look at... I know he knows "Flashdance" as well...

[rauldc14]

So long as you can afford it, I think it's better to earn less in a job you like more. :)

This. Just sucks because I do want a house fairly soon, kids in the distant (not too distant future), and of course fun vacations. But I'm sure I can make it work. Like you said, I'd rather have a job I like more, and the weekends and holidays off is something I've never been able to take a part of.

[Swan]

I want to nominate an M.I.A. song next tournament but I know no one will vote for it. Unless it's Paper Planes, maybe.

[rauldc14]

I'm going for Katie Perry next tournament

[Swan]

Seriously or are you making fun of me?

[rauldc14]

I might. I do like her actually.

[Swan]

I should nominate a Shakira song. I love her.

[Godoggo]

I like M.I.A but I don't know about anyone else. It seems like mainly the classic songs do well in these tournaments.

[Swan]

I like M.I.A but I don't know about anyone else. It seems like mainly the classic songs do well in these tournaments.

Wow I'm impressed. I figured not even you would vote for M.I.A. Very nice!

[Swan]

Shakira is more of a guilty pleasure though.

[MovieGal]

I dont listen to any of those you mentioned.... not my style of music..

[Godoggo]

Wow I'm impressed. I figured not even you would vote for M.I.A. Very nice!

My ex-boyfriend was really into her and I got into her too.

I might nominate Say Something next round and I don't care what anyone thinks. :D I like that song.

[rauldc14]

I probably have the weirdest yet most broadest music taste. I really do like a little bit of everything.

[Swan]

Yeah I love M.I.A. Many good times listening to her.

Maybe it would be good for me to nominate a Shakira song... maybe people will actually vote for that.

[MovieGal]

I enjoy pretty much anything except modern Rap/Hip Hop and the bubblegum stuff they play for tweens nowdays...

You would be shocked at what I listen to.... one thing I enjoy is Chinese Opera....

and I listen to a lot of European bands...

Classical music as well..

[rauldc14]

Afternoon MOFOs!

I had my interview this morning. It went well. Should get a call back in a couple of days. I'm going to try to negotiate a few things with them, so that could make or break the deal. Either way, this has given me confidence in my future!

[Sexy Celebrity]

The psychic in me says you got it.

[seanc]

Fantastic man. I know how it feels to get that 500 pound gorilla of retail off your back. good luck.

[Godoggo]

That's the way to look at it, Raul. You have a job so your not desperate. Now you have confidence and you don't necessarily have to take the first thing that comes your way.

I'm happy for you!

[Swan]

Good raul, Job.

[honeykid]

What Godoggo said. The confidence boost of the job offer without the necessity of having to take it. Hope it goes well for you, Dustin. :)

Thanks for all the support guys (and gals). Appreciate it.

As for our Halloween commentary, we are thinking that a start time between 330 and 5 central time will be most ideal. I hope it can work for a bunch of us.

[seanc]

What's up everyone?

[Godoggo]

Arrrrggg is what's up with me. I had to get on a couple of asses today. It's been one of those days.

[seanc]

Donkeys are so much harder to work with than dogs.;)

Sorry you had a rough day Godoggo. Time to relax with some Buffy.

[Frightened Inmate No. 2]

I had to get on a couple of asses today.

sounds like the dating game is really heating up :randy:

[Godoggo]

sounds like the dating game is really heating up :randy:

Ha ha ha. That would have been a much better day. ;)

I have this elderly neighbor and she lost her husband about a month ago. I was over there helping her garden and she tells me that she needs to talk to her neighbor because his dog has been jumping the fence again. Awhile ago I posted in the shoutbox how I had to break up a dog fight. Same dog. So I didn't let her go talk to him. I did. And I let him have it.

When his dog attacked her dog I had to jump the fence and run and stop his dog from killing King. The only way I was even able to do it was to stick a water hose down the dogs throat so that it let go or drowned. This guy hid in his house and pretended not to hear.

You guys would have been proud of me. I made him feel so small. I'm sure his testicles shrank to the size of a pea. :D

[Swan]

I never knew you were so vicious. :p

[seanc]

Wow. Putting men in their place, water boarding. Never saw this side of you Godoggo, I like it.

[MovieGal]

Hi Swan, Seanc, FI2 and Godoggo... I hope everyone is doing ok.

[MovieGal]

Just watching Masterchef on hulu.... not sure if anyone else watches Gordon Ramsey's shows but I know for me.. when I go to a restaurant and the food is not up to par.... I wonder what Gordon would have to say about it.... lol damn I guess I watch his shows to much......

[Godoggo]

sounds like the dating game is really heating up :randy:

I'm really protective of people (and animals) I like. And I'm living proof that not all nice people are doormats. :D King walks with us every day and is Bunny's best friend. What kind of man allows his pit bull to terrorize an elderly woman anyway. :p

Oh wait, I actually have a pic of Bunny and King

I don't really care for his American Kitchen Nightmare's, but the UK one is really good.

[seanc]

Those are the types of shows I find interesting for a few episodes and then it is time to move in. I have seen a little bit of Ramsey's stuff.

[Godoggo]

Yeah, I mainly like them for background noise. I used to watch Top Chef a lot.

[MovieGal]

I don't really care for his American Kitchen Nightmare's, but the UK one is really good.

I watch "Masterchef" and "Masterchef Junior" the most.... I have seen "Kitchen Nightmares" and those are a bit funny to watch ppl react to him.. I dont watch "Hells Kitchen" but my daughter watches all of them.

[Godoggo]

I can't stand Hell's Kitchen. They just go out and get the most horrible people they can find.

[MovieGal]

I watch a few reality shows.. "SYTYCD" is one other I watch.. but mostly I watch.. dramas on tv.. scary dramas.... been trying to catch up with "Salem" on Hulu... good thing about "Hulu".. if I dont have the time to watch normal tv or not having cable tv.. I can definately find the shows on Hulu.

[Godoggo]

I somewhat pay attention to Masterchef. I've heard that Graham Elliot is the nicest guy in the world. I know this girl that is a food journalist and she said that he was so sweet and gave her some really good advice. Plus he listens to some of the same music I do.

*Pokes his head in*

Hello. What's up everybody?

So, I'm just looking at that looming deadline for the 70's mofo list. I've got my rough draft, but I'd still like to watch a few movies before submitting. The question is... which few?

I'm considering, Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance, American Graffiti, Soldier of Orange, Mad Max, and Catch-22. I'm not sure if I'll get them all in though because I'm kind of on an Asian film binge at the moment. But I'm wondering if there's a few others I should watch instead?

I've seen most of the obvious ones like Get Carter, Taxi Driver, and The French Connection, but I haven't seen some others like La Cerlce Rouge, The Conformist, and The Long Goodbye.

Zotis, you are looking for films from the 70's? May I suggest one? Its a french film directed by Louis Malle called "Black Moon". Its an Avant Garde film.

[Godoggo]

Also in the top 100 70's list there is a crap ton of films people have recommended.

I'd start with some of the powerhouse movies of the 70's then go off the beaten path a bit. My favorite movies from that time period are Cabaret and Jaws.

I'm most excited about the 60's list. Also I want a redo of the 2000-2010. I hope after the 50's and maybe 40's we go back and start over.

[Zotis]

Black Moon sounds intriguing. I'll check it out.

Jaws I've seen, and yeah I've looked through quite a few of the 70's recommendations and my to watch list is pretty large. I'm just trying to think which ones I'm most likely to actually like more than some of the lower ranked films already on my list (which I'm holding out on submitting).

P.S. Those Chef Ramsey memes were pretty funny.


Edit: I also can't wait for the 60's list. Check out I Start Counting. It's on Youtube.

[rauldc14]

So who's all doing the Halloween commentary Saturday?

[rauldc14]

I really hope we do 60s and 50s. Love 50s

[Zotis]

Shinobi no Mono is another of my favorite 60's movies.

I'm interested in getting more into 50's films, so that list will be fun. I've barely scratched the surface with 60's movies as it is, but lately I've been getting more and more interested in older films.

[Godoggo]

So Zotis, if you haven't seen Halloween yet you should join us for the commentary. The 70's was a fantastic decade for horror and it's one of the best.

If you have seen it you should join us anyway. :)

Someone get me a picture for Mesmerized achievement post. I can't think of anything.

[Zotis]

I've seen the beginning, but I haven't seen the whole movie. When are you guys doing the commentary?

[Godoggo]

Sat. 6pm Eastern time.

[Zotis]

I have to work, so unfortunately I won't be able to make that.

Edit: Thanks for the Black Moon recommendation MovieGal. I don't think it will make my top 25 of the 70's, but it was very interesting and I'm glad to have seen it.

[Cobpyth]

I'm most excited about the 60's list. Also I want a redo of the 2000-2010. I hope after the 50's and maybe 40's we go back and start over.

YES! I totally agree. We have to do a 2000-2009 list, so we'll actually only have that decade. The current list is a little messy and it has no clear boundaries.

We can do the 2010-2019 list in 6 years then. I'm already looking forward to that one!

[Swan]

What's wrong with the list we have now? Aside from having Iron Man on it, I mean.

[Cobpyth]

What's wrong with the list we have now? Aside from having Iron Man on it, I mean.

It has 2010 and 2011 films on it (because it was supposed to be a Millennium list), which makes it kind of incompatible with the other decade lists.

[Swan]

Ah okay.

[seanc]

What's wrong with the list we have now? Aside from having Iron Man on it, I mean.

You don't like Iron Man? I thought we were getting along so well.

Yeah, I much prefer 2000-2009 rather than doing 2000 to current. My list would be completely different now.

[Godoggo]

[rauldc14]

I'm with Sean. Iron Man and Avengers are awesome.

[MovieGal]

Im a "Marvel Comics" fan.. actually more of an "X-Men" fan.. but anymore.. all the Marvel movies are beginning to run together.. everything is the same.. dont get me wrong.. they are entertaining but yeah, I know what to expect.

[Zotis]

I also dislike the vast majority of the marvel films. They're just cash cows. I can only sit through a handful of them.

The original comics weren't even that good to begin with.

[honeykid]

And that makes them different from all the other comicbook movies how, exactly?

[Deadite]

They should just stop making movies if they're not gonna do it right. :(

[Daniel M]

The list is missing Kill Bill Vol. 2, Before Sunset, Caché, Inland Empire and many others, that's what's wrong ;)

[Swan]

I'm sad I'm going to miss the Halloween commentary. I was really looking forward to it. :(

[Zotis]

And that makes them different from all the other comicbook movies how, exactly?

Haven't you seen Blue Is the Warmest Color?

[MovieGal]

They should just stop making movies if they're not gonna do it right. :(

The only problem is.. that most comic books have at least 5 different storylines because they are drawn and written by multiple people... so which one is right?

I know the X-men have to many story arcs to keep up with....

[Swan]

Supposedly I look like one of the Beach Boys today.

I'm sad I'm going to miss the Halloween commentary. I was really looking forward to it. :(

Crap. I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it either. It's possible, but I'm going to be having a few unexpected guests over and I'm not sure the 12 year old can handle Halloween or not.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I could do a Puppet Master commentary sometime. I have it.
