Just saw Machine Girl, and while I can understand the crazy appeal, it fell pretty much flat for me as a movie. Uusally, I adore splatter flicks though. How does TGP stack up?

Also, good to hear some Casshern love. I actually quite liked the movie, and found it to be both thoughtful and visually gorgeous. Granted it was also shallow and muddled at various points too. But all in all, I found it ambitious and liked it, though fell short of loving it. I definitely am a fan of the soundtrack.

I promise you will not be let down.

Love that title and love the concept. How do we get to see these things? HOD?

Wow. And another little tidbit: A man's bitten-off penis turns into a cannon that he uses to shoot cops.

Holy Shit!

IT WAS A DRIVE BY FRUITY!.

All I know is after Chocolate, the ante for hurting yourself with realistic stunts has been upped. That last fight on the building side has gone down as legend in the Echo household. Amazing stuff, and the new bar. But bring on Spare!

Either way, I think Cold Prey 2 will need to do something new as well.

Oh and I'm hunting a copy of TGP from this moment till I get it! Must see it.

When the three actors learned that Ledger's will had not been updated to include his daughter, the generous trio decided to donate all the money they earned from the film to Mathilda."

I'm from Chile, South America. My name is a weird phonetic transcription of something my buddy and I call eachother. I guess it's hard to explain even in Spanish. So, you don't recommend CALVAIRE? My buddy burn it for me... I have it on my wait list...

I can honestly say that was a movie ripe for a remake and I can't wait to see it.

Love the set location of the house as well. Like the way it is distant and alone, sort of like the baby feels when it's not with its parents.

Good stuff.

It's Alive scared the shit out of me when I was young.

You can imagine how nervous I was in the delivery room.

The trailer is on Bloody Disgusting's website.

Glad to see Frank Darabont getting some love on this TB. hehehe....

And what crap has beastiality and male rape? Jesus Christ its like directors bickering like 9 year olds, no no...I bet I could come up with the most fucked up shit-- no way....I could totally come up with more fucked up shit. its gotten to the point where its just stupid. I could conceive of some insanely horrid situations as well, doesn't mean I think I'm talented because of it. Its an easy way out of filmmaking. You get some decent exposure with having to really think. Its like the CoC writing gang bang fantasy fan-fiction type shit.....uhhh, yeah real challenge that would be.

Man, this day is getting better and better.

Killer babies, Tokyo Gore Police, Monster sharks (head about to pop....)

MMMMMMMMMMMHMMMMMMMM....

I would be divorced right now I bet.

I would have been sent to the nervous hospital with Carl Childers.

Rusnak also did Art of War 2 and The Thirteenth Floor.

this is called ARE YOU TOUGH ENOUGH?

Scale ingredients to servings

1 oz Firewater® cinnamon schnapps

1 oz Everclear® alcohol

1 oz peppermint schnapps

1 oz Wild Turkey® bourbon whiskey

1 oz Jose Cuervo® Especial gold tequila

Using only 100 proof liquors, ensure all schnapps are ice cold.

Combine and mix all five liquors in a cocktail glass and drink like a shot.

A) being released after Matrix and Existenz

B) being released same weekend as Phantom Menace.

And yet, it was the better film.

I have drank it before and felt something on my shoulder.

I looked around and it was the floor.

Ask Fred what it does when Dirk drinks it.

I would take a shot of that. But it would be just one shot after eating about four slices of pizza and having a bed ready.

I took one shot and my head felt like I was about to go into Scanners mode.

I'm afraid the sequel won't have a moment as cool as Samuel L. Jackson getting his head bit off in the middle of a survival and stay together speech. Or a parrot getting eaten by a shark in slow motion. I'm popping that DVD right now.

you are awesome dude.

Christ, I'm getting teary eyed right now...excuse me.

You must go blind for at least twenty minutes or so. Probably makes you feel like Jack Burton.

Check this nasty shit out...

Pink Panty Dropper recipe

18 cans beer

1 bottle Everclear® alcohol

You would be dead before you even pulled the bottle from your lips.

I think that should be the official drink of the CoC.

And speaking of annoying movies, I recently tried to watch THE TRACEY FRAGMENTS, with Ellen Page... Has anybody seen that? I get thet were trying to portray the mind of a fucked up teenage girl, but man, I've never been so annoyed by a movie before. And I laughed at the people who walked out of IRREVERSIBLE. Someday I'll finish it, I swear.

For instance: You are telling me the COC makes up all our members?

"They post too much. I want to strangle the COC."

and of course.."MMMM..HMMM I love a good COC tease."

Mix Everclear and a SHITLOAD of pink lemonade.

It was for girls that didn't like the taste of alcohol, but wanted to get drunk.

I'll give you one guess to whether it worked or not.

One guy also thought it would be funny to drink a bunch of it and after a little while was sitting on the sofa.

All of the sudden his head was over on his shoulder passed out and his pants started turning dark from piss in the front.

We had to cut off the girls after a few drinks, because they would fistfight each other quicker than drunks guys would.

I loved college.

Any Chinese Ghost Story fans here?

Love it. But, is that Ronny Cox right at the start? How come he's got no lines?

Sonnets and operas will be written about it.

Anyone read The Loch?

It was so over the top and crazy that it made the rest of the book seem like a National Geographic article.

1 bottle Everclear® alcohol

1 bottle tequila

1 1/2 jugs, pre-made pink lemonade

First add all 18 cans of beer to a large container. Add bottles of Everclear and tequila and last but not least add the pink lemonade. Place lemon slices in the mixture for extra flavor. Let sit for a few hours, then serve.

Why didn't they let him breathe fire and go nut?

Leave it to Emmerich to cut Godzilla's nuts off.

1 bottle Jack Daniel's® Tennessee whiskey

2 gal Everclear® alcohol

1 qt chocolate milk

5 cans whipped cream

Pour all ingredients into a large punchbowl. Spray all five cans of whipped cream on top of the bowl, ignite, and let burn. After the flames go out, serve in mason jars.

Oh man Meg, I've got the other two books I need to read. But I remember killing the first Meg book in like a day. That fucking scene where the meg jumps out of the water to get the helio I've been dreaming about how they would make it look awesome for forever.

Toad, I concede that Emerich Godzilla isn't the worst movie ever, but it really isn't very good, considering it's resources.

Also, that Ultraman movie that brings all 8 ultramen back looks like a ton of fun!

Also, has anyone seen a film called Storm Warning, is that any good? The trailer was nuts.

It seems like people take this place too seriously sometimes.

I am going to do a re-eval of all my Kaiju movies one of these days - to get a proper ranking. No. 1 and 2 will not change. Gojira and Destroy all Monsters. But the rest of the top five will be in flux.

His version of Carcaradon Megalodon are about 100-150 feet in length instead of 50-75 feet long as in Alten's books. Wilson also places his on the coast of Mississippi and I have been to some of the locations.

In one chapter a drunk guy leaves a casino on the beach and heads out to ship island to get a little piece of ass.

The Meg eats his lady friend and he tries to outrun it back to shore of Mississippi.

Awesome few paragraphs.

I can't believe I missed my chance to get two in a row.

There is always tomorrow *crouching down and getting ready to pounce*

Varan the Unbelievable-which isn't that great of a movie, but it's fun, as long as you watch the japanese version and not the rancid american version. The special features, including s how to make your own monster workshop are actually cool. It's the filler movie, but for a kaiju fan, you won't mind.

The Mysterians-This is one of my fave Honda movies just because it's just so much silly fun. It features aliens dressed as power rangers who demand japanese women and land, and the military decides they aren't having it. Love this little gem.Also has some nice features.

Matango: Attack of the Mushroom People-this one is a wierd, atmospheric film that is equal parts E.C. horror comic and drug film, and while no kaiju, it's creepy mushroom people are cool. It's a legitimately good and effective movie. Highly recommended.

Not a bad set for 20 bucks.

I'm gonna Hunker down too.

There was a fictional character named Cassie Wright in a porn called Chitty Chitty Gang Bang.

Go to Wiki and look her up. She is in a book called Snuff about a lady banging 600 guys.

The book has chapters told from the point of view of guys No. 72, No. 127? and No. 600.

Weird stuff but kind of cool.

Jonah, I strongly recommend that you get a copy of Daimajin. It is truly excellent Kaiju from the sixties. It is almost a Horror Kaiju with a very, very strong story and great acting. It is currently my third favorite Kaiju.

Dogora was one of the wierder Honda films, but I think it delivers.

Fuck, I love those Koreans.

The acting was hilarious. And how many Buds did Carl Weather's chug back!

I started swimming back to the shore as fast as I could, afraid to even open my eyes... And when I got there panting and wide eyed I felt like the world's biggest pussy.

And now I remember all that in a second... Off to YouTube I go, thanks.

Giggity!

OK, now I need a smoke.

What if Godzilla broke into the Everclear distillery and drank a tank full? My guess is he would get disoriented, thinks he is swimming to Jamaica for a vacation, winds up in New York and tries to get some from Lady Liberty.

Explains why he was just wandering around and cranky the whole time.

I'd put my money on Clovie

You fuck with The Brim-- you get the horns!

Berl is asnswering all the questions very calmly and all of the sudden he says "Yeeessss he was eaten!"

I almost dropped my cup of coffee in surprise and laughter.

There really is no telling what those guys did that we will never know about.

I hope this afternoon finds everyone well.

Drinking Newcastle and about to throw a slab of beef on the grill for the wife and a tuna steak for myself.

So sayeth The Brim.

Just go easy tonight, okay?

Shit I need to write another one of those. I had myself laughing.

Brimley barrels through the wall, ignoring the door..

Brimley (wiping the sheetrock dust from his broad shoulders):"Yessir Mr. Hughes. What can I do for you?"

Hughes: "I want you to listen very carefully...Go down and pick up every hooker you can find that weighs exactly 111 pounds, stands five feet even and has true blonde hair. Then go up and get the Spruce Goose gassed and ready. We are heading back over Hepburn's house."

Brimley:"Do you want me to bring the soap, scrub brushes and condoms again?"

Hughes:"Oh these aren't for me my boy. I told Hepburn that it would rain live hookers tonight and I am a man of my word."

Brimley (who no longer finds any of this strange): "What color did you say for the hair?"

Hughes:"Blonde, yes blonde. Yes, very blonde. Blonde..."

Brimley (shakes Hughes back to his senses): "Sir I got it, we'll be ready by midnight."

Hughes:"Well done, Brimley. Well done."

That was a classic.

Garlic Studded Steaks with Anaheim Chiles

8 small garlic cloves

4 bone-in-rib-eye steaks, 16 ounces each and two inches thick.

1 teaspoon of Lawry's seasoned salt

1 teaspoon of coarsely ground black pepper.

1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Salsa for steak:

2 tablespoons od unsalted butter

1 cup finely chopped onions

2/3 cup finely chopped Anaheim chile peppers

1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions

Those are the ingredients, if anyone actually wants the directions, Ill send those too.

I don't mean him any disrespect and I'm sorry if we crashed his TB but I don't get that response.

Best bit in the original - when JoBeth and Craig T go over to the NEIGHbours, trying to be serious but just start laughing, while slapping midges away.

Well I liked that bit anyway. And the guy clawing his own face off.

28 Days Later is very good though. Love the silence at the beginning then the song builds up, getting louder. Quality.

Chipps, what movie are you talking about? 28 WEEKS?

The sequel wasn't as good as it should've been.

Okay, you and chipps have the floor. I'm scooting.

Have a better one.

Big line up tonight though, have to finish Marty/Daisey hoping to watch Wristcutters and start Machine Girl...will he make it?

Fuck me...that scene with Carl screaming at Magnus to cut the cable when he is hanging off the side of the raft....I've never laughed harder. I don't know what was funnier-- that moment, or Dr. Boss Hoss' toy helicopter exploding the second it hit the water.

All in all its a great weird little film...and I can totally see how a kid would be amazed by it.

Also Kentucky Boss Hoss is actually a bloated Burl Ives, the man who voices the Snowman in Rudolph and sings the songs, like Silver and Gold. Queue up BD again and listen to him say Jenny Hanniver, and imagine the snowman.

Chipps: Say, would you like a chocolate covered pretzel?

I need sleep! Later!

I actually thought he said "the whore." I spat cheese & onion crisps everywhere!

I haven't had a chance to comment much on the films above. I guess my sources are behind because I hadn't heard of anything save for Tokyo Gore Police.

If anyone lives close to New York, the Korean Film Festival kicks off over the weekend. Spare, one of the movies above, is playing as is Open City, Once Upon A Time and Going By The Book which are all quite good.

Holla!

I have often found my way through some pretty crazy sentences on AICN, but that one made my head hurt.

Somebody suggested Poltergeist: The Musical.

The musical culminates in the streets with Zelda riding the singing demon.

Jonah, I watched all of the trailers and they all look interesting to me. Spontaneous combustion? C'mon, it's about time. You can only watch Spinal Tap so many times.

And the black guy sings a song with the lyrics "Im not Billy Dee, but how you'd make that mistake is easy to see!"

It's weird how my television has amped up how many four-letter words and skin is shown, yet it seems like the American cinema has dailed back a bit.

It used to be an R-rating was no doubt tits, gore and f-bombs everywhere.

The umbrella scene was indeed great. I wonder if that's a red band trailer for them or anything goes in the previews.

I can't stop thinking about Red Cliff. Tony Leung was amazing as was Takeshi Kaneshiro who was the third brother/narrator in Warlords. I hope everyone here watches it the day it arrives.

You know you'll be sitting down with glee when I send you Tokyo Gore Police, Danny. A huge grin and a big bucket of popcorn, just like Fred.

Finish watching Chocolate, Danny, the second half is badass bonkers.

I don't have Tokyo Gore Police yet. Is it even out on DVD? It's not up on HKFlix and they always seem to get stuff first.

Like at first I didn't like the ending because it was to short, and you really wanted to see Marty really get the girl not just allude to is actually happening. But its just kind of funny, a movie you should show your friends that are just like DUDE LETS GO GET DRUNK! Also though if that movie came out today, Marty would've been a serial killer or a rapist. The nativity of the time back then, made him seem like some adorable little unlucky schmo. But that scene where he was trying to force the girl to kiss him was a bit creepy.

This sunburn has me in a pissy mood today.

Also, I liked the 3-D, but so much of it was just doofy stuff flying out of the screen. And where i saw it, the edge of the screen kept destroying the illusion. The fish and the rocks were far more effective. Actually, so was the mi
