Seriously, I cannot even think of a teacher who impacted me like Harryhausen's films did. To say nothing of the fact that he was one of the absolutely nicest men in the business. I have an outstanding documentary about him on laserdisc, … [ Full reading ] Comments: 4 The Undying Zombie Thread Fri Mar 08, 2013 6:04 pm by Seamaster Thought we deserved a zombie thread. We will see if it has any legs. I'm unable to provide a working link right now, but to kick off the thread, visit youtube and check out Chainsaw Maid. There are three parts, but the original episode is the best. Comments: 71 The miscellaneous Blu-Ray/DVD thread Thu Mar 14, 2013 4:30 pm by Iago Since Seamaster and I always end up sidetracking with discussions about upcoming films in whatever thread we are using, I thought that I would make a miscellaneous dump thread for anything like that.

In addition to the fact that his threadbare description of the listening test makes it pretty clear that it made no attempt at any form of … [ Full reading ] Comments: 89 Seamaster and Iago's endless rehashing Bond thread Wed Oct 12, 2011 7:30 pm by Iago I assume that you read about this: http://www.avclub.com/articles/javier-bardem-will-be-the-new-bond-villain,63238/ Comments: 561 Pacific Rim Fri Dec 14, 2012 10:15 am by Iago Guillermo del Toro + kaiju + mecha + Idris Elba + the voice of GLADOS = I am so, so there! One thing that impresses me in the trailer: at least in those brief clips, the monsters and the mecha have a real sense of scale. One of my biggest beefs with CGI is that way that creatures seem to lack a feeling of mass, weight and size, partly because the animators …[/flash(425,350)] [ Full reading ] Comments: 19 Voodoo Envy 133 Trouble Fri Apr 26, 2013 1:35 am by Tippalo Hey Guys, I've had a Voodoo Envy 133 for a little while here and just today I figured I'd install an SSD to make it boot faster (had the 4200rpm drive). I got the right drive, opened up the laptop (which was a pain), installed it, and put it back together, but I'm having a problem with the wireless. The wireless card doesn't seem to work, or, appears to be turned off (as if I were to disable it … [ Full reading ] Comments: 7 | Log in Affiliates  Statistics We have 72 registered usersThe newest registered user is lindigod Our users have posted a total of 10697 messages in 270 subjects |
