"Blind Bleeding the Blind" is perhaps my favorite metal song by any band. It's badass supreme. (edited by Abnormal Freak on 11-18-05 05:38 AM) |

| That's a freakin' good deal on a fantastically funny and well-done show. At Amazon.com, if you buy the two together, that's the subtotal, $31.94. That's totally freakin' sweet.
Also, on Black Friday, Best Buy will have the first two seasons for $15 each, apparently. So you can check out that, too. |

| I don't have DIRECTV anymore or any way to watch it, except for the DVDs. I have the first six seasons. Just recently bought the sixth one and watched three episodes so far. Great show. I look forward to eventually revisiting episodes such as "The Death Camp of Tolerance" (Lemmiwinks!), "Red Hot Catholic Love", and "The Simpsons Already Did It".

| I don't see why there's a choice for metal, AND a choice for heavy metal, when they are the same thing. | |||

Originally posted by Havik That's ridiculous. There's nothing distinguishing metal from heavy metal--some prefer to put the "heavy" in front of metal, others don't. Slipknot and Staind both fall under nu-metal. Slayer is thrash metal. |

| It looks kind of nifty. A fun popcorn (except I don't eat popcorn!) action flick.
I haven't seen the cartoon aside from parts of a couple episodes, and I'd like to see the whole series before seeing the movie. My brother ordered the DVD so it should be here soon, I think. Maybe then I'll just watch everything in one day or something. |

| When Simon falls down a pit in Castlevania IV. Or just about every sound effect in that game. What can I say? It's perfection through and through. (edited by Abnormal Freak on 12-06-05 04:43 AM) |

| Calvin and Hobbes, baby. And The Far Side.
I wasn't supposed to find out, but apparently my brother might be getting me the complete Calvin and Hobbes collection for Christmas, as he has a friend that gets books real cheap, and so he's giving it to my brother, but he doesn't want it, and found out through my mom that I adore Calvin and Hobbes. I have probably most of the books that were released, but it'll be nice to have ALL of the strips compiled together in a nice hardcover volume set. And then when I have kids, I can let them read the paperback books, and not worry TOO much about them getting ruined. (Those are some sweet book covers, though...) So yeah, hopefully I get that set! As for The Far Side, I'd love to have the complete hardcover collection of that as well. It's $85 at Amazon right now, so maybe I'll just buy it sometime. I'd just like to state that Garfield has not been funny since the '80s ended. Though I'm not exactly sure when it started to blow. But it certainly hasn't been funny for so many years.

| Oh man, "The Death Camp of Tolerance" has to be the greatest South Park episode ever made. It's even more funny than I remembered it. (First saw it about three years ago, I think.) I couldn't believe it when Matt and Trey said in the mini-commentary that it wasn't a very popular or well-received episode, and I think they said most of the people in the studio just didn't think it was funny at all. It's so great! Lemmiwinks... Mr. Slave... I love this episode. (edited by Abnormal Freak on 12-08-05 03:50 AM) |

| Bad Taste has a boring middle bit. It was funnier with dialog. I've never seen the full version of Braindead. Sure, I own the unrated Dead Alive DVD...but it's still not the full thing, and that pisses me off. Braindead and Meet the Feebles ought to get proper DVD releases.
Anyway... King Kong is a blast. Really good movie. There's not much better than a big gorilla fighting with a few T-rexes, and then ripping one's jaw apart. I enjoyed the whole movie. Much more entertaining than the latter two Lord of the Rings movies, in my opinion. Gives me hope that Peter Jackson will make more good movies. Now I really wanna see the original King Kong (1933), as well as the original Mighty Joe Young (1949). Maybe I should just buy The King Kong Collection, which has these two movies, plus The Son of Kong, which sounds kind of nifty. And speaking of Godzilla, I really wanna see Godzilla: Final Wars. |

| I hear that Wolfmother got nothin' on Witchcraft, but since I haven't really paid attention to either, I can't state that as my own opinion. Just thought I'd get that out there...
This is the closest to a top 10 as I can think of (not absolutely sure about it, but #1 definitely belongs there): 10. PIG - Pigmata 9. Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth 8. Cephalic Carnage - Anomalies 7. Cave In - Perfect Pitch Black 6. Strapping Young Lad - Alien 5. Solefald - Red for Fire: An Icelandic Odyssey Part 1 4. Sigh - Gallows Gallery 3. Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production of Eggs 2. Foetus - Love 1. Coil - The Ape of Naples By the way, SikTh's new album will dump all over any other album in 2006. Forget all other albums, especially metal albums. SikTh is a winner. |

| Rick James (hee-haw) hadn't even heard any NIN songs when he did those "remixes." And all he did was supply an end portion to one song, and make up a whole other song unrelated to NIN titled "At the Heart of It All", which has very faint relations to the Coil song of the same name. (Coil supplied tracks to NIN's Further Down the Spiral as well.) I've never heard anything of him just reversing tracks and yawning over them. That has to be false information.
Anyway, Aphex Twin is all right. I had two albums that I rarely ever listened to. My brother liked 'em a lot more than I did, so I simply burned myself copies and sold the CDs to him. |

| In terms of style, Sin City by far.
I can't stand the special effects in the latter two Star Wars prequels. They look so horrible. King Kong looked good, mostly. What I can't stand is when they make CG people. It always looks bad. |

| Uh... The term "live action" applies to, well, every single film with actual people in it. I'm sure you knew that...right? Now, if your thread title read "Live Action Adaptions of Cartoons/Video Games", it'd make a hell of a lot more sense.
But anyway... Comics, video games, and cartoons/anime can be adapted to the big screen in live action if done right. Look at Sin City. Incredible movie, and incredibly faithful to the comics (with just a few minor changes). I also really like the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. As well as Spider-Man 1 and 2...and Batman Begins. (Arnold Schwarzenegger, by the way, wasn't in that film. You're thinking of Batman & Robin... Actually, that whole sentence you mention Begins and Arnold just doesn't make any sense.) As for video games...I have yet to see a movie adaption of one that I like, that I would actually consider good (unless you count Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, which I really like, by the way; and I saw FFVII: Advent Children last week and didn't enjoy it), but I have HIGH hopes for the Silent Hill movie. It looks so badass and faithful to the games. I can't wait to see this. As for Halo, Peter Jackson serves as an executive producer on it. I'm not exactly sure of his involvement with it, but I doubt very much he has much to do with the creative process. And for anime...look at The Matrix. The first one is the only one I really love, but the other two have some cool scenes to watch (even if they're not good movies). The whole trilogy is very much inspired by anime, so maybe a live action adaption of an anime could be good. (Maybe...possibly.) |
