  1. hahahah sorry just really tickles when people are foggin my nuts like that
  2. As i said over in "subtitled movies" in response to Spongebob's dumb ass... youre right, the tightwire thing is hong-kong flick alla way. Not only was effect god Woo-Ping Yuen in top form, but Chow and Michelle Yeoh - largely action starts - played up the drama a lot better than i expected them too, i even recall Yeoh saying the two didnt know much Mandarin and had to learn it for the movie. The ending, the flow of the movie - it felt like a kabuki play to me, all the tragedy intact. It is lyrical & dreamlike, i agree, and the way it was pulled off was top-notch; it deserved all the awards it got. At its heart, this was a fairy tale. But youre right about the sappy love story part, even tho i found that element strong at parts as well. Of course she was a brat, to play the reluctant heroine of sorts...also made Yeoh & Chow's stoicism that much stronger. In the end, she was humbled, as many such charcters would be in traditional chinese stories like this one. Id like to think she was far less the brat in the end, especially after Chow's sacrifice. Having recently seen Iron Monkey...the fights were great, and it had many such kung fu flick elements to a tee, but this one had the style & grace Spiffy's talkin about...again, easily one of my favorites of the last few years, wish there were more like it. (you meant the coco lee music vid right?) What did you feel was missing from the end; did you want the chick to end up with her desert guy, or off to hone her skills or somethin? From my perspective, if it was anythin less than tragic, it wouldnt have followed the kabuki style of "fate" & such i mentioned earlier...
  3. Haha...nah, it was really cool, enjoyed those ones. I noticed the topic thing, your "Escape From Lakeland" poll (amongst others) is gone, thats odd...here's to hopin for forum stability in the future. Were still solid but were one of the internet's premier hosts of red x's... ??? Good work again...hey where's Ruby's Angel been?
  4. I wandered the streets of downtown Fort Worth today, getting lost & talking to random people like its Shenmue. Not horribly productive, but...its what i do best sometimes.

    I checked it out, cool page - your member list looks incomplete tho, and the ICQ # you left there is Ryan's, not yours...other than that, cool, good luck with it.
  6. Seriously: if Benny or anyone else makes another one, id like to include senate members as well as our frequenters of Bob, Heartless, Tulip, all of our deities that can be squeezed in. Not everyone need be a party member, but yeah, shopkeeps & such are cool. Hell even being an enemy boss would be fun. So lets take suggestions of said project, however far off it may be: what role would you like to play in our RPG? Bear in mind, were talkin SNES final fantasy graphics...youre a tiny set of sprites, with a more detailed face appearing by your text as you talk, thats it. Its more of your position - what you say & do - that will come to light.

    Yeah, i mean its cool that you advertise the games you got goin with Ryan, but not as many people are on the game - would dig it but im not sure what the kids are playin these days. You'd like Penny Arcade, they talk bout your game a lot.
  8. Oh - you know how he broke off from Image and had his "Wildstorm Studios"? DC bought that a while back. Theyre havin a hard time with Marvel's strong story & art, non-continuity Ultimate line, so they took Jeph Loeb, one of the best Batman/Superman writers in recent past, and prolly offered a big chunk of $ to Jim Lee - he hasnt done much outside of covers lately far as i know, but people still love his art. The only thing i didnt get was why they didnt get a new series, hard to expect non-comic fans to know "Batman # 609" is the jump-on point...i expect the trade to do well.
  9. woo hoo we look all purdy...see? Now it feels like DD again. : )
  10. Hey, this guy put out a "day in the life of" thing for those interested. Also, he reviewed Daredevil, but tht was harsh...

  14. Man, my neighbor's cool like that. "Terry, what happened to the laundry room & gym? They look like theyre tearin em down, but it looks like it got bombed..." " 'cause it did..." "?" "Man, you aint heard? One afternoon, the boiler in the laundramat, it just up & exploded...we had bomb squads & alla that up in it, it was a trip." "! Damn! Was anyone in there?" "This one lady was washin her clothes, said she was on her way back to her apartment when that shit went off...you aint heard it?! It shook the damn complex!" "I guess i was out or somethin...damn. How ya like that, go to do your laundry one day, and then, boom.." "Yup, then you up lookin at god like 'i hope we coo.' " "Ha...i dont even wanna think about that...so hey what was up with that 'violation of lease' notice you had on your door the other day?" "Oh, that shit...maaaaan. This lady downstairs, she thinks my music - middle of the day, now - she thinks it gets too loud." "No shit? That's funny. I kinda like it, last week you were all on Ludacris & Outkast." "Hah, yeah....you know? That's alright. You wait till tonite. I'ma show this woman loud with some stank Georgia shit."
  15. Hah...see, the egg thing ive heard, but Cheerios?! That boy aint right.

  17. Eh...dont feel bad, it was in general, then stonehenge, then lost in here for a long long time. The Drunken RPG Benny did was really cool, not horribly long but cool and you could see all the directinos it could take - it featured Link, Benny, me, JMT, and others... When he had more time, Benny hooked it up & burned some CD's of it; first batch didnt work, but he gave me a 2nd batch of 3, right? I took one, SuperEeyore took one, Yahven took one...i figured one of us could burn more & send em to KOS and such. My copy...let me install it to my drive and never properly worked again (i have no idea what CD's benny bought), the others, i cant speak for. Id love to burn my copy off my drive and distrubte it buti think it tossed files into windows, not sure... Anyway, the project has evolved from a King's Quest RPG to a more Final Fantasy-esque one, TopDawg wants to do a FPS, Chief was talking about a fighting game with that other program... I still say these projects are some of the coolest things to come from the board, hopin to hear more on them later.
  18. this is what its like when im on the mic :frontman:
  19. No, i didnt get it right off the bat either, Robitussun had to tell me (dont listen to Jax). Just pay attention to details, youll get it... PM me if you dont tho.
  20. Havnet seen most of em, voted for "Learning to Fly". Has anyone else heard that song on acoustic? Its nice.
  21. I liked their video of the cover of the Charlie Daniel's Band "Devil went down to Georgia", that was a trip.
  22. Jesus, this forum has so much philosophy, its broken up into nine sections (granted, many are similar in debate), man...they even got a corner just for debates. I gots to steal some of their people somehow, help wank this place up.
  23. Anger! This thing is cheatin somehow but i cant figure it out yet... Maybe its time-based...plus theres only so many symblos it can give...dammit fuentes now i gotta think about this thing.
  24. Anger i dont even have the ten bucks to get the freebies... :( jesus i hope i dont have to pay twice as much for em on Ebay later on. Dammit....
