Discuss the latest King Kong movie.

I just had to make a thread to post this glorious hand drawn poster art for it. Something that is absent from modern day movies.

This new horror/scifi film is about people who discovers a new life from on Mars as life tells the story.

I think it's so good, but my main problem is that characters didn't show their real feelings (just a bit), they were so cold when someone dies. Not afraid or nervous.

I didn't find any characters really memorable except Jake Gyllenhaal's character, I thought he was good as always.

The idea for horror story is cool, and the ending... Continue »

We know @Tromafreak writes movie reviews. We know @zed writes songs. We know @ninjas writes perverted awesome rants. I know @cyborg wrote a pilot for amazon studios (that I hope he'll elaborate on). The estranged @ballz writes short stories and is working on a novel (he's not around, but I do keep in contact with him). Do you write anything? Elaborate on your writing ambitions. Continue »

there is this delicious fucking Chocolate Stout at a bar near my house. I will drink 2 or 3 of those.

Anyone have a favorite directors list? Or any directors they tend to watch a lot of?
These are a bunch I like/love and a few of them I am still trying to watch their complete filmographies:

Larry Cohen
Monte Hellman
Alejandro Jodorowsky
Alfred Hitchcock
Roman Polanski
Sergio Martino
Sam Peckinpah
Mario Bava
Abel Ferrara
Martin Scorsese
Jeff Lieberman
Michelangelo Antonioni
Barbet Schroeder
Dario Argento
Jean-Jacques Beineix
Won Kar-wai
David Lynch
Jacques Tourneur

Everyone turns to stupid apps these days, but websites can do most anything. I guess with apps, it's all pretty much laid out, whereas websites have different browsers and whatnot that can affect functionality, ie obsolete/deprecated features.

Blah blah. I think the internet can be a great resource for ANYTHING. I never went to college because I have the internet at my hands. I have no need to let those brainwashing establishments turn ME into a liberal idiot. I can just go online and search... Continue »

Back in the late 80's and 90's, when I used to browse the video rental stores, I mainly kept my choices within the Horror genre. And almost always picked weird B-movies and obscure cult classics. But occasionally, I would come across something not of the Horror genre, while still trashy, weird and low-budget. Stuff like Eating Raoul, Pink Flamingos, and The Doom Generation. There's one I came across early on that we don't really... Continue »

Rape is bad. It's very bad. I would not wish it on my worst enemy. But I'll gladly wish it upon hundreds of fictional characters, because why the hell not, they're not real, and they're not me, so what's the harm?
Now you might think I'm a tad odd, but chances are, if you clicked on this thread, you're just like me, and would also secretly enjoy watching random chicks being rammed for no good reason whatsoever. Just like you enjoy watching fictional peeps being gutted and decapitated all damn... Continue »

Anybody watch this show? I have heard good things and thinking about getting into it but there are so many damn shows I need to watch.

This looks incredibly cool. I have not read it, but I just saw a reference to itin something else I'm reading. It's really expensive, but ask your local librarian to see if she can help you find a copy by inter-library loan.

That's what this place needs. Not only a challenge, but an original one. Well, sorta. Onyx and I have been throwing around ideas, and we came up with what is seeming like a cross between the Turkey Challenge and the Extreme Challenge, which I think is good, as it should appeal to both fan bases. I hope the rules don't aren't too complicated, and I am totally open to suggestions.

FIrst of all, we gotta have a point system. I love the October Challenge, but points just make these more interesti... Continue »

Check this out... there is material for a lot of horror movies here.

I must be a real ignoramus (hey, you said it), but after years of watching Pieces countless times, the ending finally makes sense to me.

I watched it with my girlfriend (her first time; she loved it, BTW) and I dunno if I was paying more attention than usual or what, but I unlocked the secret to Pieces that I've never seen anyone talk about. Know how in between the police "force" (heh) having Kendall knee deep in, like, you know, police stuff, which I've never understood, that... Continue »

Rape-Revenge flicks aren't really my cup of tea. I mean, they're okay, and are sometimes far more entertaining than they should be. But nothing to jizz over, in my opinion. But like every exploitation sub genre, there's always that one movie which stands out. The one which defines the sub genre, and the one which all the others are compared. As far as this particular sub genre goes, that'd be the forever notorious I Spit On You... Continue »

Anyone know where to watch this movie?

How the hell do I emded an image or youtube clip? I've tried copying the url, highlighting and then choosing Image or Youtube and it don't work! What step am I missing? I'm on a Mac. Sorry, I'm a bit slow when it comes to this shit.

A controversial figure, responsible for many deaths & atrocities in his early life as a general in the IRA, but also the man behind Sinn Fein's involvement in the Good Friday Agreement, which ultimately ended the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

His relationship with Ian Paisley was critical to the sucess of a difficult political partnership between Sinn Fein & the DUP in NI, which only recently hit the rocks. However many wil not be able to forgive his involement in the murders, bombings and ot... Continue »

Vera Lynn turns 100 today. It's thanks to her I call myself somesunnyday.

I know we already have a music thread, but I know we have a few here who enjoy the Metal, so, anything you'd like to say about any recent or future discoveries, or anything else, this is the place. I'll just start off by listing my top 10 favorites.


Black Sabbath - Heavy/Doom Metal (U.K.)



Candlemass - Epic Doom Metal (Sweden)



My Dying Bride - Gothic Doom Metal (U.K.)

No, I don't have anything to say about it... yet! It's Netflix/Marvel's 4th show, leading up the FIFTH show, "The Defenders", which is going to be bad-ass! Daredevil is a fantastic series, Jessica Jones was dark as fuck, and Luke Cage was blaxploitation. Iron Fist looks to be a rip-off of CW's Arrow, but since it's netflix, it'll actually be good.

I'm about to get started on my binge watch.

I'm not referring to showing up at work and blowing your least favorite twat away.
Been there, done that (almost).

I guess I'm referring to method of homicide/suicide.
If I had to go, I think blowing myself away would be too easy, and slashing one's wrists
isn't as easy as it sounds.
I'd slowly but surely collect each black widow I kill.
After about 18, I'd take my blender and make myself a widow shake, with orange juice perhaps.
I suppose their venom dries out a little after th... Continue »

Fortress and Cat O' Nine Tails.

When I first saw Fortress,
I was expecting something grittier and tougher, ala ''The Escape From NY of the 90's''.
But I've learned to appreciate it, and I currently have it ranked #5 on my all-time list.
It has such a polished look to it, Lambert's character is infinitely unselfish, and the scenes with his wife are simply memorable.
7/10

I think Nine Tails highly raised my expectation with it's title alone, especially since it's a 70's r... Continue »

It's Robb Wells' bornt-day today. I'm gonna have to drunk and high tonight. That's like getting two birds stoned at once tonight. It's time for two turnips in heat.

So I've seen most of all of them but I''am rewatching all of them in Alphabetically order.
I'am two down with watching Absurd (1981) and Anthrophagus: The Grim Reaper (1980) but I''am skipping Axe (1977) cause I didn't care for it the first saw it, Axe fans please don't ream my ass. Lol

I was wondering from any of you guys/girls here if there are you recommend I skip that aren't so great.

Thank You

Threads is an unbelievably terrifying nuclear war movie, set in Sheffield, England. If you haven't seen it, you should get on top of that situation. Anyway, they play Johnny B. Goode a couple of times in it, perhaps suggesting that maybe we should all try to be good and not start nuclear wars.

RIP Chuck Berry.
