It was an electrifying performance.

(The "old guy" was Nick Nolte.)

WooHoo ... Rocky Horror. One of my all time favourites. Tim Curry is brilliant!

Now where's Spicelon's chronic defecation when it's needed

Yes?

I thought it appropriate given what I was responding to.

This one's from ENEMY MINE. One of my favorite old SF films (not that old, but still darn fun to watch).

And, in an interesting bit of trivia, Frank wrote the foreword to a SF anthology the original short story (same name) appeared in: "Frank Herbert edits Nebula Winners" (yes, I am a complete fanboy for having this on my shelf).

THE DARK KNIGHT inspired me to base my life aftre the Joker.

But I guess my biggest influence in my writing would be THE MAN WITH NO NAME trilogy. I mean, can't you see the Simalarities? Plus STAR WARS was a big influence too...

Se7en really inspired me.
And Copycat.

No, actually Copycat sucked, but Se7en is awsome.

Do you like the SAW movie series as well, Orald?

orald · Post by **orald** » 15 Sep 2008 02:06

Actually, no. I may have watched one or two in parts, but I'm talking about proper serial killing, not the boring mind games I saw there.

Kevin Spacy(sp?) in Se7en is perfect. And I luuuv the box scene, and Shatner's version of it even more.

Anyone seen K-Pax? That's a sweet film.

Blatantly

There's a film called The Man From Earth that reminded me a bit of K-Pax in places. It's a brilliant neat little low budget film, but kept me thinking for quite a while afterwards.

I really liked I, Claudius too...

I have a thing for historic minis, like Shogun, thought it was well made. I was a kid first time i saw it and was mesmerise by the fact that people were speaking japanese and there were no subtitles; it add an element of mystery to the storytelling...

And pulling on this string, Anjin-Sama, will reveal my Secret Garden Where Dragon Cavorts With Nubile Bodhisattvas....

Oh, Mariko-sama!

Yeah, Shogun was fun for the time it was made.
