Aww, that's even worse than what I got since I could at least still get on, even if it was typing with a weird text message style key thingy, but you couldn't get on at all, at least you can get on now, things would be sadder if you couldn't.
I'll watch it sometime I guess, I know pretty much what happens as I've seen so many clips of it in other films, and that Robot Chicken episode where the burger eating guy from Popeye gets pushed off the bridge by the angel, that was funny. It was a bit like Independance Day that one bit, the rest of it wasn't, the robot Santas came back, last year they had a remote which made Christmas trees spin around so they could smash through walls and stuff, and this time the remote made the baubles fly off the trees and explode at people, it was fun although maybe not so festivey. ![]()
That does seem pointless, helps if people don't like the mazes but can you still get shot? be weird if you can pass through walls but not have bullets pass through you, and how would walking be possible? should pass through the floor as well, there's no logic in that.
If I remember rightly it was the one where Stan won't vote for the school mascot, he got banished and ended up with the animal lovers, which was weird but South Park's full of weird people, and I think the duck human thing was even grosser than the dog human on Wonder Showzen, since there's a dog who's a doctor and somehow impregnated a woman, yuk. Eww, Mr. Garrison's teachings are so wrong sometimes, but why butt sex with things? can't get evolution with that, the other way for sure, I guess it just proves how bad a teacher he really is.
Oh, we'll never know if the cat got revenge or got rich or got rich and then hired an assassin to get revenge, shame, but it'll keep the guessing up to what happened unless we find out what it was somehow. Blofeld had a cat and most Disney villians have cats, they're just more evil seeming, and yes, Cats and Dogs had the cats as the bad guys, I saw that one as my niece has it, but strangely as much as I don't like cats I only liked the parts with the cats, the dogs were too boring so when the cats weren't around I lost interest.
Disaster movies always are predictable, there's a load of rules to surviving one, I wrote a load down on another site which should still be around if I find the thread, but the main one I think is don't be anywhere other than America, since the films are always American which means the rest of the globe is expendable, the UK usually goes out first, so sad, why are English people always the bad guys or the first to die!

I understand. Just yesterday I watched this bunny It's a Wonderful Life where it's the entire movie in 30 seconds done with cartoon rabbits. Just seeing that really tells you the whole movie. The rest... not so important.
You can still get shot. It makes no sense at all. It's a horrible cheat. I suppose if somebody were too lazy to figure out the mazes it's okay, but then what's the point? Well... maybe they just want to randomly kill badguys. I can understand that.
He really is a horrible teacher. He pulled down his pants, pooped, and then threw the poop at Richard Dawkins in front of his class!
And yet, that was probably just a normal day to the children in that class.
Oh, it's been so long since I watched it, and I didn't even particularly like it at the time, I don't even remember which parts I liked more or less. I do remember being happy that the cats were the good guys... and I think Jeff Goldblum's character had invented something... and that's most of what I remember. Well, I saw the first five minutes or so recently, so I remember that fairly well, but for the rest of the movie it's kind of a blank, which is kind of sad because I know I watched it. *sigh*
Yes, they usually are predictable, although with The Poseidon Adventure I didn't predict that *Gene Hackman's character would die*. Of course, I was fairly young at the time, so maybe if I saw it now I would... nah, I don't think I would have ever predicted that. I'm glad it happened, though. It's one of the reason's thatt TPA is one of my favorite disaster movies of all time. Hehe, that's funny, rules to survive a disaster film. I took a quiz once to see if I'd survive a horror movie. It said I'd survive but I'd be that bloody crumpled up thing in the corner that everyone thought was dead for half the movie and then shows up at the end alive but needing medical attention. Oh joy.
:rolleyes: Hm... I think American's are just jealous of the cool accents in Britain, and the only way to get even is to make American's be the only ones assured to live.

OMG! I love those bunny cartoons, I didn't see the It's a Wonderful Life one, I liked The Shining one best, and Fight Club, that was awesome too, I want to see new bunny cartoons. :mellow:
That doesn't make sense, how can someone pass through walls and still get shot? but walking through walls sounds weird, unless of course someone wanted to play Doom in a Kitty Pryde style, if you think of it that way then maybe it's not so bad. ![]()
That's horrible! I don't think I've seen that one, seen so many South Parks but I know I've missed a lot as well, the worst for teaching the kids was when he tried to get fired and inserted a hamster into Mr. Slave's... yeah.
It's ok, I watched it too and I can't remember a whole lot about it apart from the cat bits, which were fun, and there were some really fake looking bits with dogs, but I don't remember how it ended or much else, I couldn't even remember it had Jeff Goldblum in it until you said. ![]()
I don't think I saw the original Poseidon film, I saw the newer one, it was either go see that or The Da Vinci Code, I think I made the right choice, but I wasn't really surprised about anything in it since it sticks so closely to the rules of disaster movies, I found them so I'll add them once I've finished writing, but you did a quiz to see if you'd survive in a horror film? eek, at least you survived, but to really survive uninjured you have to be super good, only people who do bad things ever die, so how could it say you got so hurt when you're so nice and good? Oh, maybe that's it, I was watching Snakes on a Plane again yesterday and there's this really mean English guy in it, why can there never be a nice English guy? oh well, guess it just makes people happier when they get killed finally, and it;'s not really spoiling it when they're the most obvious one to die in the whole film, ugh. <_<Anyway, disaster movies and how to know who's doomed or just what's going to happen before it even starts, mine are the emboldened ones, since my own list got added to so much by others... 1. Main character will survive 2. One of the big name actors will die being heroic 3. Kids don't die 4. If a kid is with a single parent, they'll survive too, if both parents are in it one will die, unless of course they're separated and then they'll both live and there'll be a cheesy bonding scene, only married couples are doomed and only one will die 5. Anyone planning on getting married is invulnerable to death 6. Anyone who isn't a recognisable actor and doesn't fit under any of these rules will likely get killed early on 7. Two people who fall in love in the middle of the disaster are always among the survivors. 8. CGI and special effects in newer disaster flicks are better than the majority of the story writing and acting. 9. There's a conflicted character or two in the movie among the main characters, possibly including a checkered background too. 10. You usually see at least one actor or actress in the film and wonder why the hell they chose to do one of these type of movies. 11. There's almost always younger people in love and a parent who isn't so happy about it, but during the disaster warms up to them. 12. No disaster film is ever complete without someone with an addiction, be it alcohol, gambling or something else, this person will either be likable and turn hero, or be a jerk and die, there's no inbetween. 13. Characters either get killed or don't, no one picks up injuries like broken bones or anything 14. Someone grappling with a set of choices to make prior to the tragedy will instantly come to a decision as soon as the chaos is over, regardless of how hard that choice may be. 15. One of the survivors will do something for the shock value of the audience. 16. There's usually someone on the outside of the chaos trying to do something about the matter at hand. 17. Someone in the middle of the chaos will usually have an ulterior motive for having been there. 18: If the Earth is in danger only the Americans will survive or be able to do anything about it 19: British people have no hope of surviving, no matter where on the planet they are 20; If it's made in the 70's or 80's, George Kennedy has to be in it, it's a Hollywood law. 21: If a plane is damaged in any way the pilot will be injured and unable to fly leaving an unqualified passenger, a stewardess or both to pilot the plane, and somehow they'll learn several months of pilot training before landing the plane perfectly 22: Natural disasters will always be kind enough to avoid hurting the main characters, tidal waves, fireballs, molten lava and any other condition will slow down just enough so people can outrun them 23. Disaster films in recent years with similar stories tend to come out within a few weeks or months of each other, much like Armageddon and Deep Impact did. This law also applied to those lame assed father-son body switch movies back in the 80s. 24. Disaster movies based on actual tragedies have to throw in stupid fictonal tales of romance that at times tend to dominate over the actual historical tragedy itself in the film. 25: Disaster films based on historic events will have major historical inaccuracies, Ex: Two US planes seemingly WINNING the battle of Pearl Harbour 26: Global disasters will also have inaccuracies, both to do with the globe and the countries on it, like the entire Earth being covered in sunlight at the same time 27. Newer disaster films taking place in another time period will be 110% politically correct, flat regardless of how bad it was for any group of people treated badly back then. The false pretense will show all living in perfect harmony (until the disaster hits that is). 28. Remakes of classic disaster films have different top priorities than their predecessors. CGI and special effects are more important than the storyline and the acting. 29: Large monsters can move around unseen and unheard until the big jump moment, no matter how much of the film was spent showing the ground moving and shaking at the single footstep of said beast Ex: Godzilla 98, Jurassic Park 2 30: Motorways will always be empty or just empty enough for a smooth landing if a plane ever needs to land on anything but the runway 31. Sequels to most disaster flicks rarely have the actors from the original in them unless they're really desperate for cash. 32. Most of the subplots in disaster flicks are so bad they'll make a man's ears bleed. 33: No matter how many people die during the course of the movie and no matter how few survive, it'll still have a happy ending even with the death toll 34: There'll always be one character who goes against someone else's judgement and dies because of it 35: People will always be able to hold their breath for insanely long periods of time just fine without going up for air. 36: If a character needs medicine it'll be fine no matter what the environment is like, since medicine can withstand being turned to ice in a room frozen over or evaporated in a room on fire. Yes, that's all of them, the thread broke up around number 34 since it's one which causes much annoyance, but you can always add more if you know any.

Hehe, I've seen The Shining one, but not the Fight Club one. My aunt and uncle have this super delux cable kind of thing, and they can watch the bunnies on their TV whenever they want, so when I was at their house I watched a bunch of them.
Yes, he really is an interesting teacher. They must be really desperate for qualified educators if he's allowed to keep his job.
I don't remember how it ended, either! I mean, I'm assuming the dogs won and forced the cats to go back to their planet, but I don't really know. I do have a faint recollection of Jeff Goldblum being tied up or chained up... somehow restrained, anyway. Other than that, I really don't remember much. Figures with my sick mind I'd remember the guy being tied up.
Oh, I didn't see the newer one. It didn't look very good, anyway. The old one's awesome, though! I it! In some ways it conforms to the rules of disaster movies, but in other ways it doesn't. But, anyway, it's good.
Plus, John Williams did the music for it. Go John!
Hehe, on that quiz for whether or not I'd survive a horror movie it came down to the last question for whether I'd be the hero or the bloodied pile in the corner, and the question was what do you do when you hear a strange sound like footsteps in another part of the house when you're alone. I said I go check it out (I really do). I guess if you want to survive in a horror movie that's a bad idea. That list is awesome!!! I especially liked
34 is so cliche, and so true! That's why David died in Shaun of the Dead! Hm... that's actually one of the ones that the original Poseidon Adventure is different in, though. The guy who's always disagreeing actually lives.
But, I do find it hilarious when there's about 20 people at the beginning, 2 live, and it's supposed to be a happy ending.
:rolleyes: Reminds me of.. well, all of them, although Anaconda and House on Haunted Hill (the new one) came to mind.

Oh, I clicked on send and the window's gone all unresponsive and I can't get my writing back!
Watching them on TV sounds fun, I used to see some net cartoons on TV, they just came on randomly, Happy Tree Friends and another one I'm struggling to remember the name of, more fun to see them that way, bigger screen and no loading time.
South Park's under staffed, there's only ever been three other permanant teachers in the school, and one of those is dead now, Chef has to double as the gym teacher which pretty much proves it so no wonder they're keeping Garrison on. ![]()
Cats came from another planet? that's far fetched even for a kid's film. :mellow: It's ok, now you mention it I remember Jeff being tied up as well, although that is only because you reminded me, thank you for that, a guy being tied up is just the mental image I needed to have. ![]()
Oooh, never ever go to investigate the strange noise, or if you really have to take a weapon of some kind, although those who do usually end up hurting someone who isn't the killer, I don't think there's any winning to being in a horror film other than not being in one to start with. ![]()
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking of when I came up with that rule, David's death is so stupid, he's actually going to walk out of the doors while they're being smashed in by zombies, of all the things a person could choose to do, and when you think about it that does happen in most disaster films, someone always ignores the smarter ones and dies, like Day After Tomorrow, why would anyone go outside in the middle of an Ice Age when they have a perfectly good building to stay inside? :rolleyes: But the happy ending thing, that was Poseidon which really annoyed me with that, it was an ok film, fun for its short running time, but about five people lived, out of a few hundred, no one shows any signs of sadness for all those who have just drowned or been crushed to death by water, that always creeps me out when people do that in films, never any thought to the dead ones.

I understand. That's such a pain. I'm sorry it happened to you!!!
Chef's like Hagrid!
And yet they could get a world renouned biologist like Richard Dawkins to come and teach evolution to the kids.
Yes... makes total sense...
I'm here to help. Here, I'll get the image of Jess tied up out of your head. There, isn't that better for my Steven?
Yeah, investigating is bad in a horror movie. Well, going off alone is bad, period. Never, ever be alone. But what do the people always do? "Let's split up!" :rolleyes: I love it in Scary Movie 2 when they make fun of that.
David's death is stupid. It's kind of fitting, though, because horror movies always have somebody do something stupid like that, so there really needed to be one in Shaun of the Dead. Hm... that's a good question about the ice age... maybe the person loved Batman and Robin and wanted to see if they could become Mr. Freeze.
You can never mourn too much in disaster films, it's true. They'd just be too sad... thousands dying, but the hero lives, so all is well! Independence Day is great in that respect. By the end of it every major metropolitan area in the world is destroyed, milions dead... but Will Smith lives, so it's happy, yay!

It doesn't make much sense, there have been substitutes but for permanant teachers they don't have a whole lot, so maybe that's why, they spend the money on substitutes, they must have money since the town gets destroyed almost every week. ![]()
Thank you, that's... Nancy from Sin City! I like those books, although I don't like the girl in the movie too much, I don't know why but I liked the character better in the comic, and it had nothing to do with her being a stripper in the comic, I don't know why, I don't understand myself sometimes.
They do like to go off alone, killers rarely attack multiple people, Jason in the Friday 13th films does, he's fine taking out groups of teenagers in one go, everyone else though just goes one at a time, makes it easier for the killer, just like in action films everyone attacks the hero one at a time so he can defeat them all, some people never learn. :mellow:
That film referenced so many other zombie things so there had to be one person dying stupidly, he reminded me of the short bald guy in Night of the Living Dead, the one who got blasted before he had chance to even get bitten, I guess that might be what the point of the character was. Eek, why would anyone want to copy Batman and Robin? I don't think I know anyone who likes that film, oh... yes I do, but I don't think I talk to them much anymore, nothing to do with the movie. ![]()
It's to make the endings of the films less depressing I guess, have an overly happy ending so everyone forgets about all the death, there's a war film like that, kind of war, but it's really disturbing for a while and ends with the most insane car chase and gun fight, I'm sure it's just that way to make people feel better about it all, but the one which really annoys me is the new War of the Worlds, aliens have killed millions of people but one annoying kid lives so it's happy, argh, why can't Spielberg come up with good endings anymore? he has to ruin everything. <_< |

Tee hee, that is Nancy. Maybe you didn't like the way Jessica Alba portrayed her? Anyway, I just thought maybe you'd appreciate that image more than one of a guy tied up.
Yeah, Jason's darn near indestructible, so he can take on large groups with no problem. Hehe, of course they only take on the hero one at a time. What other possible way could there be? No, don't everybody tackle the person at once, that wouldn't work...
He was exactly like that character... only attractive. I guess you need that person in a film so that there's a weak link to make it harder for the protagonist which makes it more exciting. Plus, it gives you a nice person to kill that doesn't make the audience feel sad.
You know, 24 reminds me a lot of this, too. Sometimes I'm watching it, and while it's true that they'll catch the bad guys, nuclear bombs will go off, power plants will explode, Air Force One will be shot down... horrible stuff that in real life would have the country in turmoil, but in the show it's just like, "Yay! They stopped an even bigger disaster!" It doesn't ever feel like it really addresses how damaging these things would be for the country's morale. *shrug*

I don't know, she seemed weaker than the comic version so maybe that's it, even though the movie is a pretty accurate adaptation, I think the only real difference was the comic had more nudity, which I'm glad wasn't in the film, because it'd be weird and I don't really want to see Bruce Willis with his stuff swinging around. ![]()
If Jason dies he just comes back somehow, there's no real stopping him, which is probably why he slaughters teens better than anyone else does, but heroes, they're pretty weak if they can only fight one at a time, Neo did pretty well in the Matrix sequels at fighting more than one at a time, but most films it's obvious the stunt guys are just waiting to get beaten. :rolleyes:
Movies need mean characters to cheer for when they die, like the old woman in Gremlins, or Nedry in Jurassic Park, it's cool when they die, which is probably why the meanest characters always get it worse, shows it's more rewarding to be good anyway. ![]()
It doesn't, but it's only one day, so the whole day is catching the bad guys and the sadness would happen afterwards, they have to be big and brave and can only cry after everything is over, like in season three at the end with Jack, I like that bit, but there is one thing which bothers me and that's there's always some loose ends, the original sniper from season one was never caught, Behrooz, however you spell his name, he got swapped for Jack and we never saw him again, there was a deleted scene which showed what happened but since it was cut so it doesn't really count, and season three, the virus got out and was spreading, there was a hunt for those who had been infected before they spread it further, but did they find everyone? it just ended so we didn't see it, kind of like in Transporter 2, three people got cured so it's a happy ending, it doesn't matter about all those still infected and spreading it.

You don't, eh? Go figure. No, I know, we both have issues with nudity. We're an interesting couple, we are.
Jason's crazy talented at coming back to life. There's just no way to stop him. Freezing him worked pretty well, but then he thawed, so so much for that plan. When there's a fight scene with the hero against multiple people, I love to watch the background people that are waiting to attack the good guy. So often thay'll just randomly be running back and forth in the background, or fall as though they were punched even though nobody's around. It's great.
Since I didn't see it in the theater I don't know, but I heard that people actually cheered the lawyer's death in Jurassic Park when it was in the theaters. Poor guy, he just wanted to make some money. Okay, he put people at risk to do it and ran out on the kids when the T-rex was coming... I want to say something sarcastic here but I'm afraid over the internet my tone won't come through, so, in all seriousness, it was great when that character died.
They're awfully good at holding it together when everything's going so badly... I really don't know how I'd be. I'd hope I would be emotionless and just do what I needed to do, but who knows? Well, I'll never work for CTU, so it doesn't matter. Yeah, the show does have loose ends. I'm surprised they're able to keep it together as well as they are, really, because plans change sometimes during the middle of the season, like they didn't plan to have that drug dealer's wife that was in love with Jack die, but the actress needed to leave the show, so they killed her, must be hard to cope with stuff like that when you know where you need the show to go, not necessarily that that particular character was so hard to write out, but stuff like that in general.

I'd rather not have nudity on screen, it never serves the plot in any way, it just distracts and seems silly, maybe sometimes there'll be the funny kind of it, but I'm happier when everyone's fully clothed, or not putting body parts in the screen even if they are clothed, like the new Poseidon, I was wondering when they'd stop trying to push the pervy camera angles and just stick with the mayhem. :rolleyes: As for Sin City, I think all characters in the comic went nude at some point, I guess it's not so bad in a comic, just drawings, but if I'm ever on a board and someone's complaining about why Nancy didn't show herself I'll ask why they're not complaining about Bruce either, soon shuts them up. ![]()
He got machetted through the skull and ressurrected by a lightning bolt hitting a metal spike in his heart, and again when he got shot and had his heart removed, for some reason he could possess bodies that time which was kind of silly, and finally when he got blasted and brought back as a futuristic metal version, Jason pretty much rules over other killers, since other ones don't have so much energy to come back that many times. I see that, it's so stupid watching them line up for the beating, sometimes the camera will be in such a way you can't see them lining, I have to wonder during Warrior King where everyone is as the hero is snapping their arms and legs one at a time, it's cool to watch but he beats about fifty people like that, surely some thought to attack in numbers.
Oooh, I can't remember Jurassic Park too much at the cinema, but I doooo remember laughing at the lawyer getting eaten, something like that sticks in the mind, I always laugh at that death really, it's just too cool, I saw an advert on TV earlier with the death in it, had clips from Terminator 2, The Mummy, Jurassic Park and a few other films mixed with it, which was probably the best advert I've ever seen.
I think that's how everyone is, even Chloe manages to keep it together until the end of the day, always blocking out the troubles and concentrating on catching some bad guys, which is best we don't work for CTU, I know I'd snap on the first day and turn into a nervous wreck. They do change plans on the show, I know they have a rough plan of the story so they know what sets to have made and the actors to get, but the writing carries on while they're filming so sometimes they make small alterations, sometimes because of actors or spoilers getting out somehow, I read that originally Jack was going to somehow fake Chappelle's death in season three but they changed it because it got out, which I'm glad of as I liked his death, but it must be hard to work like that, they kept it secret from the actors that Logan would turn out evil, that's kind of crazy considering.

I know what you mean. Every time I watch Titanic and it gets to the part with Rose letting Jack draw her I always look away; I feel really weird watching it... which may seem weird because when Chris Tucker pulls that guy's towel off in Rush Hour 2 I just think it's funny... meh, different context. The old Poseidon Adventure wasn't really like that, though... although it did have the ex-prostitute in nothing but her husband's shirt for most of the film... but you couldn't see anything.
Apparently bad guys are reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaally stupid. It is good when they position the camera so that you can't see what others are doing, so you can kind of imaine they're not doing something stupid, but when there's 50 against 1, and the 1 is able to win... well, it can be entertaining, and fun, and even beautiful to watch, like in Kill Bill Vol. 1, but it still seems rather silly. Ah, well.
You know, I remember watching the beginning of Jurassic Park very clearly from my first viewing, but after about the part where that excavator is staring at that mosquito in the amber I really don't remember much about the first time I watched it, so I have no idea what I did when the lawyer died. I'm sure I was happy, cuz it's a cool death, but I just don't remember. Aw, that'd be a cool advertisement; I love all three of those movies.
Hehe, we'd both go mad working there and have to leave. Probably for the best we don't, anyway; I don't want the decisions I make to determine whether people live or die.
Ooh, I'm glad then that it got out that Jack was only going to fake Chapelle's death, cuz it was great when that guy died. Ooh, that'd be weird for the guy who plays Logan. Your going along, reading your script... do do dee do... wait, I'm evil?!?! I think I'd rather like it, personally. I love playing evil.

That's kind of cute, I don't look away for Titanic, but I haven't seen that film many times, I just think she's easy at that bit, stripping off for a guy she just met, that's not so attractive really. The towel bit is comical nudity, which is for some reason easier to watch than the weird stuff, I felt uncomfortable with the stuff in Miami Vice but was fine with two naked guys wrestling in Borat, and the stuff in Crank as well, which was pretty crazy but funny as well so I wasn't so icky about it, I'm so weird. ![]()
I like it better when I can't see the guys waiting to get beat and warming up for it in the side somewhere, you can see that in Blade, there's guys jumping on the spot watching the action. :rolleyes: The one in Kill Bill was awesome, for some reason the neck, leg and arm cracking in Warrior King seemed worse, but maybe if Tarantino ever gets around to bring out the whole Kill Bill as one film with the scenes put where they were meant to be and have the Crazy 88 in colour like it is in Japan then maaaaybe it could be more icky to watch, I'm still waiting for it, the animated bit is supposed to be longer as well in Japan, me wants more violence. ![]()
I'm sure you were happy with the eating of the lawyer as well, he got eaten by a big dinosaur while he was sitting on the toilet, that's everything a kid finds funny in one scene, so you must have been laughing a lot, I'm totally sure of it. Me too, the other films in the advert were Donnie Darko, Judge Dredd and Waterworld, goes down with the last two, but the advert was still cool, made it look like one film for some reason, and I did like Dredd comics when I was younger, I even have him on a t-shirt somewhere, so maybe I should try the film again if it's on, although it'll probably still suck.
It is best we don't work there, it's so dangerous, I wouldn't want my Tomby to be in danger, I want you to be safe and you wouldn't be there. I liked the death, one of the best scenes in 24, I'm not sure how Jack would have faked the death, it doesn't seem to make sense, but originally Chase was going to be killed off, they changed it so he lived past the half way mark, and then left out some part where he got killed at the end of the last episode because that got out as well, I'm glad he survived because I still want to see him come back. If the actors don't know someone's going to be evil then I guess it makes it more surprising for everyone when they turn out to be, no one trying to seem evil or something, that would give it away, but my Tomby likes playing evil? my Tomby's way too sweet to ever be evil.

Hehe, Rose was a bit easy, I guess, especially for... 1912, was it? Anyway, yeah, what'd they know each other for, five days? Little harlot, she was! No, you're not weird, I understand, comical nudity feels completely different, I don't feel weird about watching it. Of course, maybe we both just have issues. *shrug* You know when I said I watched the first half of Full Metal Jacket a few weeks ago, it was because my mom started to see that prostitute walk across screen and didn't want to watch any more with her daughter. Ooh, seeing a guy blow his brains out is fine, but you see one little hooker and we have to turn off the movie. No wonder I'm so messed up.
The animated part is longer in Japan?!?! No fair! I want to see the whole movie! I liked that animated part, too. You'd think suddenly having it be a cartoon in the middle of this boody action move would be weird, but no, it worked. Tarantino's just awesome like that, I guess. Hm, I dunno if it'd be worse in color or not. A lot of times people seem to think color's worse, but black and white seems more gross in a way, because you have to put your imagination into it, and that's worse.
Hehe, I actually like Waterworld, so I'd probably like that part, too. I mean, it's so stupid in some ways that you just have to love it. There's no food but there's cigarettes? Awesome! And then there's seemingly endless fuel and airplanes for the Smokers... man that movie's awesome in it's sillyness. Plus, the Waterworld Stunt Spectacular at Universal Studios is awesome.
Best stunt show I've ever seen, definitely. Ooh, and the musical score! I love the music in that movie.
Ooh, that's funny that they were going to kill Chase. I liked him, so I guess I'm glad that he lived, but if he had died I would have been cool with that, too. I watch that show pretty much expecting any characters I like to die, so I'm not really surprised they were planning to kill him.
I wonder when Nina found out she was evil in the first season. Watching it the first time I didn't ever suspect her until, well, when they revealed it, lol. But then when I saw the show a second time I did catch little clues that she was a badguy, like her leading Jack into a roadblock or something when he was asking her to guide him through traffic, little things that she could claim were mistakes. Tricky Nina.

Early 20th Century so you'd expect her to be more lady-like and less easy, she seems way too modern to drop her clothes to a guy she hardly met, but I guess the film wasn't the most accurate really. I guess it's because we can laugh at comical nudity and sex, like in Monty Python's Meaning of Life, or any of those films really, usually I'd feel weird about watching that, but no seriousness so it's not unconfortable, not sure why you wouldn't be able to watch all of Full Metal Jacket though, it's not like the prostitutes are naked in it, how many other films have prostitutes in them? um... Pretty Woman, must be fun not watching the hooker movies. What's funny about Full Metal Jacket, I didn't find out until a bit ago but a lot of it was filmed in England, I guess the country looks so much like war torn Vietnam that we made a good double for it.
It did work, it was a flashback sequence so it was ok being animated, plus it wouldn't be nice to put a real kid through all the stuff which happened in it, and it got to be super gory and freaky, not sure what was cut out of it but I want to see it uncut too. The only reason the Crazy 88 battle was in black and white was so it wouldn't get censored, you can tell it was meant to be in colour as the blood looks like water at times, if it was really meant for black and white they would have done the blood differently, like in Psycho, so it actually looked right, one day it'll be released as one movie, although they've been saying that for years. <_<
I saw Waterworld once and all I remember is people splashing about and exploding without much story, it was kind of like Mad Max 2 but on the water and I didn't even like Mad Max 2, the first one yeah but that second one got on my nerves, where would they get the cigarettes from though? the whole world was covered in water so all tabacco plants would have been drowned, and if there was dry land where they grew it then wouldn't it make more sense to stay there and grow other stuff like food as well instead of stay out in the middle of the oceans?
It's strange he hasn't come back yet, I'm still hoping he'll make a return, he did do the game so he's played the character since the show, there's one weird part about the game, there's a part in it where Chase gets his car rammed off the road and ends up in some woods being chased by guys with guns, it's almost exactly the same as what happened to Wayne last season, I think the writers ran out of ideas around then and used the same sequence for both of them. ![]()
Everyone in the first season was pretty suspicious, even Tony who I thought was going to be some bad guy the first time I watched it, sounds silly now but at the time he really didn't seem too trustworthy, maybe that's what happened, everyone played it like they could turn out to be evil because none of them knew if they were good or bad, whether the writers knew she was going to be evil is another thing, maybe it was planned or maybe just a quick last minute change, wouldn't surprise me either way, although it was a good twist. ![]() Wow, I've been really chatty with this reply, it's huge. |

"Mother's love, Jack! You should know better than to wake a man when he's sleeping. It's bad luck."

I understand. I couldn't reply earlier cuz my mom made me get off the computer. I'm freaking 22 years old, I still do what she says. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
It was a bit like Independance Day that one bit, the rest of it wasn't, the robot Santas came back, last year they had a remote which made Christmas trees spin around so they could smash through walls and stuff, and this time the remote made the baubles fly off the trees and explode at people, it was fun although maybe not so festivey. 
Eww, Mr. Garrison's teachings are so wrong sometimes, but why butt sex with things? can't get evolution with that, the other way for sure, I guess it just proves how bad a teacher he really is.
It looked like it was going to be one of those things where eventually the poor cat became rich while the rich one became poor, and now the new rich one was nicer than the old one had been, but I don't really know. Hehe, that cat trying to be like the dof in Americal Tail was funny. I liked him.
Rattigan's cat was evil.
Blofeld had a cat and most Disney villians have cats, they're just more evil seeming, and yes, Cats and Dogs had the cats as the bad guys, I saw that one as my niece has it, but strangely as much as I don't like cats I only liked the parts with the cats, the dogs were too boring so when the cats weren't around I lost interest.



And yet, that was probably just a normal day to the children in that class.
it! In some ways it conforms to the rules of disaster movies, but in other ways it doesn't. But, anyway, it's good.
Hehe, on that quiz for whether or not I'd survive a horror movie it came down to the last question for whether I'd be the hero or the bloodied pile in the corner, and the question was what do you do when you hear a strange sound like footsteps in another part of the house when you're alone. I said I go check it out (I really do). I guess if you want to survive in a horror movie that's a bad idea.
34 is so cliche, and so true! That's why David died in Shaun of the Dead!
