The NZA

Im somewhat curious as to who booed specifically, usually the starts gettin political makes everyone nauseous but its Moore, the man's done the research, this wasnt trendy shit he was throwin out there anyway. Kept shit lively, i think.

I was just skinning the board...some cool new ones too...now its temporarily assfucked. Sorry. :( is coding for "Nick is an ass who pushes customization too far". ???

You know...phrases like that are twice as funny when viewed alongside your avatar.

...is that in order? Where's "Just Married"?

Im not sure what it is or if i like it but gimme 3 of em

Hahaha...Ian, you cant warn me till i IM you back...heh.

Farily certain i put this up a while back, not sure where. Its a funny country tribute to pee pees, take a look. http://tlf.cx/dearpenis.swf

You people seem to enjoy the new smileys. That's cool, im happy. Tweakin profiles, gathering skins...a lot goes on back here with my massive free time. There's a one now too.

Didnt know that about Braveheart, interestin...you know who he had in mind for the role of Wallace, then? As for the graphic ending, itll be interestin to see...but please dont sweat the details & get Benny in here on dogma or this thread'll have nothin to do with movies, catholically.

Cmon im not the only one who wants to see it happen, people! Lets hear some ideas!

True, this was a topic in Current Events but only on the idea. For one - im not sure why everyone assumes once a writer/director/musician does their opus everythin else must be compared to it, but Bob might be right if that's Mel's intention here. Im curious as hell. Spent too much time in the church, heard bout this story ad nauseum (sp) but this take is somethin else...if a few folks are down for givin it a go, id prolly be up for it. Any details on co-stars, epic length, etc? Honestly, the idea of using defunct lanugages with no subs & hopin the acting conveys the message...that's bold. I think Mel did really well in Hamlet considering American actors are usually duanted from English Shakespear performances, but he really shined, i thought, so if he's the one to give this thing a go, im up for seein it. NC-17...that flailing's gonna be graphic.

(you know what's always in service? Gay, violent washing machines. Besta move fast when they hit that spin cycle...)

Ok...that was taken to the Jax tm extreme, but it was funny shit, Chilli Peppers didnt hurt one bit either. Funny how this went from bad flash games, to rank on MJ, to lets bring back the roastings.

Berserk...see, the Dreamcast game supposedly follows after the anime, and parts of that one's story look really cool, so im curious. Kee taped the entire (or most of) the series on VHS for me back in the day, but sadly the quality's no good, subtitles are kinda bouncy at too many points. It's a shame. Spiffy how are you watching it, VCD or downloads or wha? Also, talked to NewType recently, he said same guy as Escaflowne & some others is puttin out a new Macross series, like a prequel - Tim you heard of this? Over here: now that Kenshin's done, and Miyazaki's runnin low, ive downloaded the first episdoe of "Samurai: Deeper Kyo" and "Wolf's Rain", this new ongoing series by the same team as Cowboy Bebop - Lizi-chan mentioned it. Ill review tonite or tomorrow soon as i get to see em.

Agreed, havin the option of either is superior, but these are VHS ripped off the DVD...quality's fair, and the price is right. Sponge - if you want, just wait till you move to miami this summer, and if i still dont have the DVD's of it eventually, you can maybe borrow Jax's or someone's, watch em dubbed, im sure the voice acting isnt too bad.

Dont worry, you went above & beyond gettin the entire series out my way, im in your debt... did you get to watch these OAV's yourself yet? You and Chihiro really should when tests are done, the two of you'll really dig em. Yahven too if he's far enough into the series.

One of the greatest NES tribute pages ive seen on the net. PS anyone ever play Bases Loaded back in the day? Still the only baseball game i played where you could bunt a home run... PSS after Pole Position, the last racing game i was alright at -

"Watch the company you keep, and the crowd you bring 'cause they came to do drugs, and you came to sing..." Theyre playin it like crazy, but im still really happy..not just that Nas is on the airwaves but that its somethin really positive like that, makes me smile.

I should make a poll....which is cooler? ( ) or ( B) )

..now im sad this one's over. ???

Finally saw Seisouhen, the final arc in OAV's...wow. Covers a lot of bases. I wont spoil much, but its a 2-episode series, the first of which is a review of the high points of the Kenshin series basically...which is really cool 'cause you get to see some of its great moments done by the sharp animation crew of Samurai X: Trust & Betrayl, and those prequels are finally tied to the series. To those who've watched all (or most of) the series, i cant recommend it enough...its a great finale. Thing is, its not made for those who havent watched the sereis before, much less previous OAV's. For those interested, the DVD sees domestic release in a few days (March 25th), i intend to buy it later down the road. However, the fansubs are great quality - tho i think the translation is off in bits of the first episode - and can be downloaded from Kazaa or i can lend em to you in mpg format. Serioulsy, the series ended alright if you were able to see the unrelaesed final episode, but this one really ties things up. What a great series, prolly sitll my favorite.

So youre too slow for it...? Fair enough, ill try to find dubs. Try again before i come back tho, rewinding sucks but at least itll improve your reading speed. The series is worth it anyway.

No, youre right...he's actually cool.

I should be in Miami just around the time of Free Comics Day this year, and usually get a few extras...ill hold onto a copy of Dork Storm for ya, get it sent out sometime. (you know they have a web page, right? Come to think of it, since they run a stirp there, why doenst Yahven have it goin on our Comix page?) If anyone else is interestd in the books listed there & cant get on down by a comics shop (remember, there's usually leftovers for a week or so), lemme know and ill grab what i can for ya.

Christ, three pages of defending Hook and "watch this movie, bitch!" Finally did. Was really good, a strong comic movie that didnt feel like a comic movie to me at all. Visuals were stunning (you heard) as Junker said, it was a really purdy movie. Didnt realize Thomas Newman did the soundtrack, fuck he's good. There are scenes where they let his music create the ambience, and it really shines (*minor spoiler like the tommy gun scene in the streets with Newman...that was kinda lyrical, really pretty for an execution). Hanks, Law, and Newman all did rather well. Dont know who the kid is, but he wanst bad either. Even here the Lone Wolf & Cub influences can be felt, and Junker was right about the book: its a lot more action-oriented than the flick, which again does far more with its visuals. Other changes from the book also really worked out...*Minor spoiler if you inted to tread the aw fuck it Basically, Newman's character sets out the hit on Hanks along with Connor if i recall, could be wrong. Point is, there's a scene in the film where Hanks confronts Newman one last time before the alleyway one i mentioned earlier, and Hanks goes on about how he's sorry, but none of them are going to heaven, and he cant just offer up his son of course...was a powerful one i thought, well-done and i was really glad it was there. Of the cutscenes on the DVD, there's one (the washing hands one) i wouldve left in there as well but otherwise, this thing was well edited too. Characterization was good for its pace, you actually cared about these 2. Overall, very good movie, if i sees it cheap ill pick it up. Things i said to Junker & Jax about "go fuck yourself with a baseball bat, fat end first" etc i take back; you were right, it was really good, i rather enjoyed it. Junker's farily good at recognizing wht kinda flicks i go for & making good calls.
