  1. Are they? Cause i like the Beatles! I wanna retract my vote and give it to them. Sorry, just remembered that episode of "Friends" where Phoebe is trying to bond with her mom and she's like "I like the Beatles.." "Really?! Me too!!"
  2. Actually yeah, it was pretty hard, ive seen a lot of good movies. Also, i somehow left Raging Bull off of the final list, which i didnt mean to do...that makes me sad. ??? About 6 or so are viewed these days in black & white - Seven Samurai, High Noon, The Searchers (tho the color one's not bad), Yojimbo, Mr Smith goes to Washington, and Rio Bravo...Raging Bull's black & white, i meant to have that one there. Butch Cassidy starts in b&w but changes after the opening scene. Oh, and Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, and Samurai X are Japanese. Crouching Tiger is kabuki-style, being Chinese. PS 2T dont hate me, ive seen it more times is all...ok im revising this thing tonite, MLB dont tally em up yet! Dammit i hate being indecisive..
  3. Damn, this wasnt easy...lemme submit it now before i spend the rest of the day changing it back & forth... 1) Braveheart 2) Unforgiven 3) Fight Club (suck it, 2T!) 4) The Good, The Bad & The Ugly 5) Seven Samurai 6) The Matrix 7) Carlito's Way 8) High Noon 9) The Searchers 10) Yojimbo 11) Rio Bravo 12) Cool Hand Luke 13) Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid 14) American Beauty 15) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 16) Mr Smith goes to Watshington 17) Lonesome Dove (movie-series) 18) Waking Life 19) Samurai X (movie-series) 20) The Graduate broke my heart to take off Taxi Driver, but i figure..its makin the list anyway. sadly, Pulp Fiction, Brazil, Micheal Collins, Hard Boiled, The Shootist, Trainspotting, and a few others got left off too...good ones tho.
  4. Damn man, that was quick eh? The reviews so far are nothin shy of spectacular, but i have heard benny's complaints elsewhere: the game's travel mode (via sailing) is supposed to be really well done & cool but becomes monotonous over time, when one spends too much time at it as the game supposedly calls for. As for the treasure hunting, ive heard that too - is that optional, Benny? Storywise...you know, Zelda 64 tried some plot elements/backstory and people bitched that its not part of the series so im really not expeting a whole lot plotwise, just a really good looking, fun adventure. Appreciate the review man...im still really hyped on this one tho, hopefully ill get my hands on it soon.
  5. This one's being hyped all over the place: game magazines, the Source, rap web sites etc... On one hand, its got some cool rappers in it (Meth, Ludacris, DMX, Scarface etc) but its gotta have a good engine under it...i wanted to like the Wu-Tang Clan game for PlayStation...just didnt do it for me. Kee got into it, but it felt like puttin the Wu over a bad fighting game enginge.. Ill keep an eye on this one tho, review-wise. If nothin else you know itll have a good soundtrack.
  6. That's nothin to sneer at...those of you who had the pleasure of playing Metal Gear Solid: Imagine a health meter that never gets larger, holding one ration tops, and lots of other handicaps...I really didnt think Spiffy'd pull it off, with the hard-ass torture scene and that bitch Sniper Wolf tagging his ass...i was really impressed, man. I beat Zelda: Link to the Past (SNES) in one sitting, all day marathon - no deaths, no saves, so my account showed Link with "000" next to him, i was really proud at the time.
  7. Hey, put the brick down..i did a list already...its the goods, just not in any particular order, i dont know that i could but if it'll stop the violence i could give it a go.
  8. "Yew shouldnta dun that...he jus a lel boya..." Yeah, Evening with Kevin Smith is funny shit - its a collection of his public forum shit...and Bob's right, havin seem him when he was in FL (same as SB), you get a preview of what its like, really funny shit..if youre a fan of the guy as a director/comic writer or just he himself, its worth catching.
  9. You know what i heard about Missy? I heard the bitch got hit with three zebras and a monkey..I can't stand the bitch no way :uhuh:
  10. Uhm....next do...National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!
  11. Well, this thing would work fine with a Super Game Boy, if you had that but i suppose it wouldnt be too much of a stretch to build one in..i think youre on your own for the blidning Virtual Boy & all 3 of its games tho.
  12. This one got quiet....id like to volunteer that Junker supposedly beat Metal Slug in one life; that's pretty impressive.
  13. Haha...ok so howzabout Bravheart? Scent of a Woman? Forrest Gump? Or just gays in general? This thread of hate, it has so many possibilities...
  14. Hadnt thought of that - there's only one VHS as far as i know and its edited for length, sadly. Rumors of a DVD series have circulated for a while...i dont know of an episdoe guide but ill keep an eye out for it, i dont think it went on for very long but could be wrong, Junker might know. PS 2T - ill check out some of those series when i can, and nice cover there, that's a trip.
  15. Christ....well, youre on a roll, dont stop now - do American Beauty!
  16. Wow...i really dont know what to say, most people who didnt dig it didnt actually watch it out of not givin Reeves a chance (did you see Devil's Advocate? Yeah, he's not that great but he did alright), but you...you actually watched it and hated the style, fight scenes, and technology...wow. This definitely wasnt your movie. Ok, now that ive made a seperate thread of it (hah), lets hear it! 5 reasons why Fight Club sucks (youre not nearly alone here, but i thought you migtve been amongst the male gender anyway...)
  17. Haha...fair enough. I just never followed Heartlessbitch either on the "all the walking" thing..its a wandering movie, if they had AT-ATs or snowspeeders im sure theyd use em, but they gotta get places..i guess you wouldve wanted less transition? Im only bothered if there's no characterization or decent dialogue during the walking, but i dont remember it being like that...anyway, im not as hyped on the series as others but i do think its fun..tho if youre not up for medieval fantasy, i guess i can see where its akin to The Postman for you or somethin. So, wait...you dont dig Matrix or Rings, whatabout Star Wars..at least the old ones, right? And ya got me curios, i want a top 5 reaons why the Matrix sucked when youve got a minute, hah...
  18. Eh...not convinced. If a group was around & put it on, sure, but im not seeking it out quite yet...I saw Desparado & El Mariachi, thought there were alright, but not quite as good as others made em out to be...and you gotta admit, while one shouldnt give too much to trailers. this one looks like shit. Not a boycott, not a "fuck this movie", just no real interest, ill catch it when i catch it...
  19. I think Yahven & Chiefy are on board now, cant wait for more players. I see your game Junker - i can get to stage 5 now but not past it. At its core, this isnt a fighting game at all. Its actually about delegation. "Hey, you..what do you do?" "Me? Im, I'm tied up actually." "That sucks...how about i hit you so the ropes fall, then you beat people up for me?" "...sounds good! Where do i sign up?" "Hah...trick is, im a ninja. So, while youre fighting, im gonna hog all the beer we find, because beer is magical. With this magic, im gonna make so many clones of me to fight that the game slows down, which helps because im drunk. Overall, theyll die, youll prolly die, but ill beat the level without taking a scratch." Yup. This one's about strategery, at least if youre a
  20. Ok, merged "Dear Nintendo" thread with this poll....im trying to find out just who would pay for such a device, who wouldnt, and why. Would you pay $50 for an official Nintendo hybrid that plays NES, SNES & N64 cartridges? Do you still have the old games/periphrials laying around? Would you be up for checking nearby Gamestop's and such to buy up old games for $10-15, or is the nottalgia not worth it? + + =
  21. Ok, so two for $50....this turns into a poll soon. Game cleaning kit is an excellent idea...had another idea bout it tho: back in the day, in very limited quantities, Blockbuster had a cartridge copying device, mainly for N64 games i believe. The idea was, once it verified an original copy of a game, it could copy the data to a blank cart (for rental purposes). They were hot on the black market, soon recalled i wanna say. So...what if inside this device is just a decent sized hard drive (along with the original CPU's and such)..it verifies you have the cart, downloads it to itself, then you dont have to maintain the carts anymore, as long as the drive holds. Sure, sure were all gonna be swapping carts, but again theyre not makin new $ off the software most likely, so why not? Im not sure how realisitc an idea it is; just wanted to throw it out there....
  22. Hah, Heartlessbitch has an anti-Lord of the Rings buddy... certainly you can not be a fan of either one, id just be curious as to the specifics when youve a chance. So Silent Bob...which're you gonna catch opening day, Revolutions or Jersey Girl? Or gonna go for a marathon?
  23. BWAHAHA ITS FIXED THE GODDAMN BOARD IS FIXED BOUT FUCKING TIME WOOOOOO so uh yeah my requests to Invisionboard central were answered, the passed over a non-fucked base skin, Yahven made with the uploading, and its back to normal now, woo hoo! Time to go fuck with the coding again..
  24. Damn..score one for the retro market. I should make this a poll....if penny-pinchers like Junker would pony up for it, i think its a worthy idea. Im interested to see what Spiffy & others say...many say theyd dig such a thing but im not sure they'd shell out for it, ya know? I smell a poll comin on...
