What´s your favorite movie phrase?…

I wish more people would discuss the historical inaccuracy of the regular evening news.  What a joke!

Good article Marc.

@Flashman:

Return to Oz was seriously disturbing.

Oh my God… I forgot about that one. Yeah, I have some vague memories of seeing that at my aunt’s house late one night… made absolutely no sense to me. I just recall monkeys on unicycles.

Morrissey
The Smiths
The Cure

I think i figured it would be gory or scary, but due to the utter contrived nonsense, it became something of a comedy. The problem is this was not the intention or was it?

I can suspend belief when watching the Three Stooges because they are trying to be funny. It is deliberate. This was like what they did in “Not another teen movie”

When a movie gets so ridiculously contrived that it becomes a self parody and that was never the intention and the actors are not cracking jokes and it turns into a Filipino vampire style movie that you might see on mystery science theater 3000, THEN it becomes either the biggest letdown or pure comedy. Something like Trilogy of Terror had a genuine quality of putting the viewer on edge because the plot did not try to emulate a Wile E. Coyote cartoon complete with uber mega-contrived roadrunner traps. To me it became a spoof like Plan 9 from outer space, except whoever made it figured they were actually scarring people, rather than make them laugh. It went way beyond any dignity that could be covered under “suspension of belief”

Probably why so many of those comedy spoofs use it as a plot device like scary movie. It became the joke of comedies like Freddy Krugger and sold more Pepsi.

What would have been great if they got somebody like Curly and they put him into one of these mutilation machines, and the saw just broke apart trying to saw off his head. That would have been a fitting scene in that movie. Or they could have redone the scene where they pull teeth and done this:

@AgentOrange:

So that was YOU in that old Blind Melon video!!

HAAA! LOL

i’ve never seen that till now,

Yellow has the most pop-out, it has the most emotion of the colors, it is striking, fast and violent.

Other colors are plain, and thats a good thing, becasue all though yellow is the most powerful it’s not cool in fact it’s the hottest of all colors. so other colors are good in order to support yellow.

It dons’t take a queer eye to figure this out, just line up a bunch of colors and anyone can see YELLOW PWNs!

I always figured the Hobbit was a parallel of WW1 while the trilogy was a parallel of WW2. Tolkien fought in WW1, so he can be compared to Bilbo, while his family most certainly had some part in WW2 even though he didnt.
